Gaining Perspective

The wealth management industry is consolidating. A global pandemic did not slow the pace of merger and acquisition activity, with advisory practices being bought up by roll-up firms, banks and larger advisory firms.

Here to talk with me today about this and other key trends in the wealth space is Maura Creekmore.
