The purpose of this research is to provide readers with an initial understanding of the fee-based financial advisors (RIAs) market, the fastest growing financial services market & distribution channel. The goes to painstaking efforts to define this market, which is often improperly defined and measured by others. A parallel published by Tiburon, called A Comprehensive Overview of the Product Usage, Business Models, & Best Practices of Fee-Based Financial Advisors, provides extensive bottom up analysis of the specific actions of fee-based financial advisors. This provides a top down view of the market. Some fee-based financial advisors are dually registered, hanging a brokerage license at a friendly independent broker/dealer; those fee-based financial advisors are referred to as hybrid advisors in this and are likewise addressed in Tiburon’s independent reps research.
