The Five Myths of Advisor Independence
Several myths prevent some advisors from making the move to independence. We aim to present the facts — facts learned from our own trials and tribulations — about the realities of going independent.
MYTH
1
There are hidden costs
The allure of the “90% Payout” is certainly a strong reason to go independent. Is it real?
MYTH
2
Compliance is going to be restrictive
Compliance could be the reason you’re seeking to make a change, but will it change?
MYTH
3
Technology will be lacking
FIN-Tech is opening the door for RIA’s to find new and different ways to drive growth.
MYTH
4
The transition process will be a nightmare
MYTH
5
I can eliminate all investment conflicts
Our Investment Program provides a flexible, low-cost, customizable UMA investment solution.

The NewEdge Advisors Experience
At NewEdge Advisors, we do things a little differently. We bring together already successful financial advisors — over 285+ independent advisors nationwide — who embrace the entrepreneurial spirit, are thought leaders and problem solvers within the industry, and believe that sharing resources, experiences, and best practices with other like-minded professionals contributes to increased success for everyone.
The Community
While each advisory practice at NewEdge Advisors operates as an independent team, our platform encourages a culture of peer-to-peer collaboration and idea-sharing.
Advisor-Focused Tech
While the industry is deploying technologies that disconnect the advisor from the client relationship, our technology was built by advisors, for advisors. Our aim is to help advisors run their practice more efficiently so they focus more on what they do best — working with existing clients while attracting new ones.
Creating Value from Your Practice
Our Advisor Succession Program (ASP) allows advisors to extract value out of their business, including monetizing part of their revenue while maintaining autonomy and control, acquiring other advisor books, or fully transitioning their book to another advisor when they are ready to retire.
