How To Buy Or Sell An Investment Practice

As an experienced investment advisor, you feel you’re ready to buy or sell an investment practice. The ultimate decision to buy or sell a particular practice, however, may be negatively influenced by many factors including the emotions of the advisor. As a consequence, even an experienced advisor who may be knowledgeable about the marketplace could end up making a decision to buy or sell based on their feelings alone, which is not the best way to go about buying or selling a practice.

You can take a lot of the emotion—and work—out of the process when you go to buy or sell an investment practice with the help of AdviserXchange. Every advisor who chooses to use our merger and acquisition (M&A) services must first complete a detailed survey. Buyers are also required to demonstrate financial wherewithal and enter into a confidentiality agreement before they’re introduced to our sell-side clients. All sellers must disclose all significant details about their practice in order to utilize our services.
