Transition Services: Supporting Your Move with Expertise and Confidentiality
At Queenston, we specialize in assisting financial advisors in seamlessly transitioning their practices from one dealership to another. This delicate process requires discretion, industry insight, and a commitment to preserving your assets and client relationships. Here’s how we guide you every step of the way:
Step 1: Advisor Meeting
Our process begins with a confidential consultation. During this meeting, we learn about your practice’s unique characteristics, including:
- Current grid and compensation structure.
- bonuses and AUM (Assets Under Management).
- Existing administrative and compliance support.
- Your long-term goals and specific needs.
This ensures we have a comprehensive understanding of your priorities.
Step 2: Mandating Queenston
We request that you formally mandate us to represent your interests. This step:
- Grants us permission to leverage our network of industry contacts.
- Comes at no cost to you.
- Ensures you can trust us to evaluate any offers independently, including ones you receive outside of our efforts.
This partnership allows us to advocate for your best interests effectively.
Step 3: Term Sheet Development
We create a one-page term sheet summarizing your requirements and objectives. This document is tailored to communicate your priorities clearly and concisely to potential firms. It is reviewed and approved by you before distribution, ensuring alignment with your goals.
Step 4: Targeted Outreach
Using our extensive network, we identify firms that align with your needs. Additionally, we welcome suggestions from you regarding firms you’d like us to contact. This step combines your insights with our market expertise for maximum reach.
Step 5: Offer Comparison
Once offers are received, we compile a comprehensive comparative table. This analysis evaluates six critical factors:
- Administrative support.
- Compliance resources.
- Access to markets.
- Compensation structure.
- Technology offerings.
- Brand strength.
We meet with you to present the table, explain the offers, and answer any questions you may have.
Step 6: Meetings with Interested Firms
We coordinate meetings between you and decision-makers from the shortlisted firms. These discussions provide an opportunity to ask questions, assess cultural fit, and gain deeper insights into the firms’ platforms.
Step 7: Selection and Negotiation
Once you’ve chosen a firm, we handle negotiations on your behalf. Our goal is to secure the most favorable terms while aligning with your professional aspirations.
Step 8: Seamless Transfer
We assist with the practical aspects of transitioning your assets and clients to the new dealership. Leveraging our industry expertise, we ensure a smooth and efficient process.
