In order to help the industry address the FINRA and SEC requirements, 3rd party technology providers have begun to offer social media compliance and supervision solutions.

]]> Comment on RIAs Can Look to Other Channels for Growth by Jan http://www.willis-consulting.com/rias-can-look-to-other-channels-for-growth/comment-page-1/#comment-185 Jan Thu, 24 Jun 2010 20:24:44 +0000 http://www.willis-consulting.com/?p=1077#comment-185 I believe that over the coming 18 months - 2 years we will see a substantial decrease in the number of RIA's simply because there will be new financial regulations imposed across the industry world wide to stop or at least make more difficult, excessive profits. The G20 meeting in Canada this coming week will bring some interesting changes for implementation that I don't think is going to please too many people in the financial services industries.

It can be hard trying to keep up with the financial planning and running the business at the same time. Do you think it would be a good idea to hire a college student in this role?

If he would like to grow into a Financial Advisor role eventually, you can discuss ways for him to grow with your firm. You can offer him incentives for building his own book at your firm and train him on how to get started. As long as he knows you will provide him with the option of being in a producing role and there is room for growth with your firm, he will be much less likely to leave you.
