By GlobalData“Steward Partners’ dynamic start to 2024 is a reflection of our commitment to consistently identify and actively pursue best-in-class advisory teams that help expand capabilities and propel firm growth,” said Jim Gold, co-founder, and CEO of Steward Partners.
“Steward has been built upon dedicated recruitment efforts and strategic partnerships, and our early momentum underscores our continued success.”
“We believe that advisers should feel empowered when they come to our firm, and we are proud of the fact that we can encapsulate that through offering different affiliation channels such as W2, 1099, and RIA-only models,” added Jeff Gonyo, divisional president, Southern Division3 and head of recruiting of Steward Partners.
“This is evident of the new optionality that we have established in the last year and is something we deliberately constructed to ensure that Steward Partners is the right fit for any adviser.”
The new business reinforces 2023’s sustained trajectory for a strong recurring year of $5.5bn in new assets and $40m in revenue.
Steward Partners intends to replicate the success of the personnel flow and to see significant M&A activity in the second quarter.
