Changing dynamics within the RIA M&A landscape revealed, misconceptions of deal mechanics debunked
PHOENIX, October 31, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Advisor Growth Strategies, a management consulting and transaction advisory firm serving financial advisory firms and institutions, today announced the release of a special research report called “The RIA Deal Room.” Sponsored by BlackRock, the study provides unbiased, data-driven insights into the changing M&A landscape, including how acquirers and sellers are getting deals done.
The concept behind the study is to provide a more novel, in-depth look at the mechanics underlying RIA M&A transactions and provide information that is not otherwise readily available to market participants. This study is a result of a detailed analysis of recent M&A transactions.
The RIA Deal Room is a first-of-its-kind study that uses real transaction data to highlight the relationship between price and terms. The study provides tangible ideas and brings to light what it takes to compete in a rapidly evolving M&A market.

“The RIA Deal Room is a first-of-its-kind study that uses real transaction data to highlight the relationship between price and terms,” said Brandon Kawal, who is a Principal of Advisor Growth Strategies and led the research. “The study provides tangible ideas and brings to light what it takes to compete in a rapidly evolving M&A market.”
“We are excited to sponsor thought-provoking research that helps RIAs think strategically about their businesses,” said Hollie Fagan, managing director and head of BlackRock’s RIA channel. “The RIA M&A landscape has evolved dramatically over the past few years. This research provides us with a better understanding of the implications of these changing dynamics and, in turn, helps better inform our conversations with clients.”
What’s inside The RIA Deal Room report:
· How the M&A market is responding to rapidly changing RIA demographics
· Why some firms are more successful at M&A than others and what prospective buyers can do to improve their success probability
· What it takes for prospective buyers to enter and compete in today’s M&A market
· The realities sellers are facing in the market and expectations for getting a “deal done”
· The competitive differentiators in the RIA M&A market and how RIA buyers need to respond.
In an effort to understand and capture the ongoing changes in RIA M&A, Advisor Growth Strategies intends to publish further studies as part of an ongoing series.
