SS&C Deliver Conference – Understanding Your Firm’s Valuation and Why it Matters

  • September 13, 2017

Neal Price, Principal of Strategic Wealth Partners (SWP), spoke to a group of financial advisory professionals at SS&C Deliver 2017 conference in Chicago. Merger and acquisition activity among RIAs continues at a record pace. Given SWP’s appetite for inorganic growth through mergers and acquisitions, Price served as an industry expert on the panel discussion about the key drivers of firm valuation that matter in any transaction.

SWP joined Focus Financial Partners in 2014, and since has completed three small transactions with other advisory firms.

“We partnered with Focus in part to gain access to their M&A resources and financing,” Price said. “There needs to be a lot of M&A activity. There are too many 55- to 60-year-old advisors in the industry who have no succession plan. They owe it to their clients to have one.”

What’s New in Medicare for 2025
Every year, we encourage our clients enrolled in a Medicare Part D stand-alone prescription plan to take a few minutes to verify that their existing plan remains the best option for them. For the 2025 plan year, there’s a little more urgency, as some big changes are occurring that have never been a factor before. Starting in 2025, Medicare is setting a $2,000 cap on out-of-pocket drug costs for those with Part D drug plans.  From brokers I have spoken with, this has caused a lot of turmoil in this market as some providers are changing what drugs will be covered under their formularies, co-pays, deductibles, and coverage of brand versus generic.  If you were happy with your Part D drug plan in 2024, it could be a different story in 2025.
