For AdvisorsThere's more than
one way to build here.
WCG is built for a certain kind of advisor: consultative, collaborative, growth-minded and focused on the long-term picture for every client. If that sounds like you, the structure of your business shouldn't stand in the way.
We meet you where you are today.
Most of our advisors run hybrid practices, and more are moving to a fee-only RIA model every year. Whichever path you're on, our platform is built to help you make the move with as little disruption as possible to you, your team and your clients.
Hybrid RIA: where most of our advisors build
Run your advisory business through WCG's RIA and keep serving brokerage clients through our relationship with LPL Financial, an industry leader. With multiple custodians available, you get a broader range of investment strategies and technology, and more ways to serve or acquire clients held elsewhere.
RIA-Only: for the fully fee-based practice
More advisors are moving to a fee-only model, and WCG is built to support that move. As your Registered Investment Advisor, WCG gives you a choice of custodians, with no broker-dealer affiliation required.
Supervision & Support: more than oversight
In this model, LPL Financial serves as your broker-dealer and RIA, and WCG provides your supervision and regulatory support. Many firms in that role stop at supervision. At WCG, you also get our full range of resources, planning support and advisor community. This option is open to advisors coming from any firm.
Why It WorksIndependent, with the right partners behind you
WCG is the firm you join. Behind you is a network of industry-leading brokerage and custodial partners, with more than one custodian to choose from. You get institutional depth and scale, with the flexibility and community of a firm built around advisors.
Long-Term ValueWhat you build here is worth something
The model you choose shapes what your practice is worth, not just how it runs. WCG can help you grow, access capital to acquire, and plan your succession or transition on your terms.
