SAN DIEGO, April 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cetera Financial Group, the premier financial advisor Wealth Hub, announced today that it has successfully consolidated the Cetera Advisors LLC registered investment adviser (RIA) to its sister RIA, Cetera Investment Advisers LLC. The project results in significant cost savings along with simplified and streamlined operations with no impact to affiliated advisors. The project was completed on time and under budget and Cetera Investment Advisers LLC is now the primary RIA for legacy Cetera communities.
"This consolidation is a win for Cetera and our advisors, and we are pleased to have completed such a large-scale project so efficiently," said Tom Taylor, chief sales and growth officer at Cetera. "Through this effort, we are realizing significant cost savings, which we are reinvesting in tools and resources that will help our advisors grow their businesses and benefit their clients. This successful outcome is a testament to the dedication of our project team and their commitment to our financial professionals."
In addition to streamlined operations, the conversion creates significant costs savings, much of which will be reinvested into people and programs dedicated to driving growth for Cetera advisors. In February, Cetera launched an industry-first "Growth Guarantee," which promises that newly affiliated financial advisors and institutions participating in the GrowthLine program will grow their assets under administration at least 38% faster or their affiliation fees will be refunded up to $2,400.*
