Often ignored by advisors and overlooked by clients is the importance of organizational sustainability – the ability for an organization to continue unparalleled service and meaningful counsel to its clients in the event a team member (s) is no longer with the organization by default (passing / disability) or design (retirement).
Truth be told, in both an industry and world where evolution is continuous and rapid, organizational sustainability is vital.
After all, client questions, concerns, curiosities and objectives extend well beyond that of simply investing – instead including coordinated tax and estate planning strategies, insulating a family’s financial well-being from the unexpected (death, disability, etc.), planning prudently for a child’s education, and planning effectively for one’s retirement.

To that end, the most critical decision an individual / family faces when seeking to gain and maintain greater control with regard to their financial future is not what firm is chosen, whether an individual is a registered representative, RIA or independent, or what investment vehicles are utilized in the design, adoption and management of a portfolio.
Instead, it is whether or not the team of professionals engaged understand the importance of organizational sustainability and how such sustainability ensures the continuation of the service and counsel that will enhance the likelihood of achieving what is important, personally, professionally and financially for clients and families served.
Part and parcel with understanding the importance of organizational sustainability is that of dedicating firm resources to both creating and ensuring organizational sustainability.
In turn, creating and ensuring organizational sustainability is “rooted”, so to speak, in a firm’s policies, procedures and most importantly – its “people.”
