Moving Beyond AUM

Moving Beyond AUM

Moving Beyond AUM

Standard rules of thumb or simple AUM percentages often fail to capture the true value of a modern wealth management firm. In today’s competitive market, buyers look deeper into the operational guts of your business to decide on a final price.

AdvisorLaw identifies the core drivers that allow you to defend a higher strike price and avoid re-trading—the common buyer tactic of lowering the offer during the final hours of due diligence.

The Core Drivers of Enterprise Value

The Core Drivers of Enterprise Value

Revenue Quality

We evaluate your mix of recurring fees and commission income. High-quality, fee-based revenue is the primary driver for achieving top-tier market multiples in today’s highly competitive environment for wealth management acquisitions.

Book
Integrity

Book Integrity

Book Integrity

We perform a total scrub of your regulatory history and ADV filings. A clean record removes the structural risk that often leads buyers to re-trade their initial valuation or lower their cash offers.

Client Longevity

We analyze your retention rates and the age demographics of your book. Buyers pay a premium for a stable, multi-generational client base that ensures your firm's revenue will stay consistent after the transition.

Team Continuity

We identify your firm’s succession readiness and the strength of your junior advisors. A solid G2 team reduces buyer transition risk and immediately increases the total enterprise value of your firm before listing.

Is this just an automated calculator, or is a human reviewing my data?

This is institutional-grade analysis. While proprietary data models are used, every report is reviewed by M&A experts. We look at the nuances of retention durability and growth trajectory that an automated bot cannot quantify.

How long is my valuation report valid?

The RIA M&A market moves fast. Reports are designed as a snapshot of value for the current quarter. We recommend updating the valuation every six months if you are within a two-year window of a planned transition.

What happens after I receive my valuation report?

The report is yours to keep. We provide a 1-on-1 consultation to walk through the SWOT analysis. If you choose to move forward, we can provide immediate, confidential introductions to the buyer network. If you aren't ready to sell, it serves as a growth roadmap.

How can I use this valuation to defend my price during negotiations?

A valuation is only as good as its ability to withstand scrutiny. Because this analysis is built on a foundation of regulatory health and normalized EBITDA, it provides you with a defensible roadmap for negotiations. You have a data-backed report that explains why your firm justifies a premium.

Can you help with Negative Consent?

Yes. Our transition oversight includes guidance through Client Negative Consent requirements and necessary regulatory filings.
