    Q117 - How To Solve For Your Remaining Commission Assets?

    A common misconception about the RIA model is that you must be 100% fee-only with your practice.While many RIAs are indeed 100% fee-only, and others aspire to eventually be, there is no requirement to do so.Many RIAs operate under a hybrid arrangement, allowing them to continue servicing legacy and/or new brokerage relationships.Other RIAs work to slowly transition their current fee/commission practice towards a fee-only structure.In this episode (#117) of the Transition To RIA question and answer series, I discuss several approaches RIAs use to “solve” for their remaining commission assets.Come take a listen!P.S.
