About the paper
The business of advice, on the record.
Financial ADVSR covers the people and firms that run wealth management: who moved, who bought whom, and what the regulators did.
What we cover
Advisor moves and breakaways across wirehouses, regionals, independent broker-dealers and RIAs. RIA mergers and acquisitions, private equity and the aggregators. Custody, platforms and the technology advisors run on. And the regulators and courts that set the rules.
How the paper works
The Wire carries every headline from 8 of the industry’s leading outlets as it’s published, each linked to the outlet that reported it. We show the headline and the publisher’s own summary; the full story lives with them.
The Newsroom publishes our own coverage: original articles on the day’s biggest stories, a daily analysis column and a weekly review. Every article credits and links its sources, and every claim is checked against them before publication.
The Heat Index ranks the firms the industry press is writing about most, updated through the day.
Standards
We report what the sources support and nothing more. Allegations are labeled as allegations. When we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. Found an error? Tell us.
