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.”

Should I Stay or Should I Go?
There’s no sugarcoating it; the current state of the markets has many of our clients thinking like the 1981 punk rock classic by The Clash: Should I stay or should I go now? If I go, there will be trouble And if I stay it will be double So come on and let me know Should I stay or should I go?* I don’t suspect that the song was meant as a commentary on portfolio management strategies. (In fact, the band has never disclosed any real meaning to the lyrics.)  Nonetheless, I do think it provides an appropriate framework for examining today’s investment world. So, let’s take a look at the cases for “going” and for “staying.”
