2021 Highlights A challenging year becomes a catalyst for growth Schwab’s RIA Benchmarking Study is the leading study in the industry — 1,340 advisory firms, representing over 1.5 trillion in AUM, participated this year. The following report is organized according to Schwab’s Guiding Principles for Advisory Firm Success, a framework to help advisors address the complexities of growing their firms and creating enduring businesses. “2020 created an atmosphere of innovation that helped advisors reimagine how they engage with clients, prospects, and staff. These experiences will help advisors thrive as the RIA industry continues to grow.” Lisa Salvi Managing Director Business Consulting & Education 2021 RIA Benchmarking Study from Charles Schwab Firms adapted to the challenging environment and achieved success by using a variety of innovative strategies to support staff, engage clients, and drive new business results. Given the environment, firms experienced remarkable growth in 2020: AUM up 14.5%, revenue up 7.5%, and number of clients up 4.7% for all firms, at the median. Asset growth rates were higher than the 5-year compound annual growth rates over the period 2016 through 2020. Firms adapted quickly to new business practices in 2020: Strengthening client relationships virtually. Approaching business development differently. Leveraging opportunities for productivity gains. This year’s focus section centered around new client growth and tactics firms used to propel client acquisition during the pandemic. RIAs had success with digital business development, with over 70% of firms generating leads from their websites, virtual prospect events, and online advertising. 68% of all advisors met or exceeded their client growth goals.
