About the research
Advisor360° surveyed 155 financial advisors at enterprise wealth management firms in the U.S. who switched employers within the last three years to better understand what motivated them to make a move. These responses were collected in connection with a larger telephone- and email-based survey of 300 U.S. financial advisors focused on the impact of technology on the business of wealth management, which was fielded during September and October 2024. Survey participants self-identified as being responsible for managing, on average, $2 billion in assets – individually or as part of a team – and hailed from firms with an average AUM of $97 billion.
