Can I Use Alternative Investments (Alts) As An RIA?

“You won’t be able to use Alts (alternative investments) if you transition to the RIA model.” “Ok, maybe that’s no longer the case….but you won’t have access to as many investment options as we have in the large broker/dealer world.” “Well….maybe that’s no longer true either, but our large scale gets us better availability/pricing than the RIA space.” “Damn it…..that’s no longer true either. You RIA folks now often have better options, pricing, etc. than we do!” This progression is how using Alts in the RIA space has generally played out. While advisors at large wirehouse type firms once had the advantage when it comes to Alts, in most cases it is now the opposite. In this episode of the Transition To RIA question & answer series, I explain how Alts are used in the RIA model and why it is often to your advantage.

That is today's question on the Transition To RIA question and answer series. It is episode #129. Hi, I'm Brad Wales with Transition To RIA where I help you understand everything there is to know about why and how to transition your practice to the RIA model. If you're not already there, hear to TransitionToRIA.com where you’ll find all the resources I make available from this entire series in video format, podcast format. I have articles, I have whitepapers. All kinds of things to help you better understand the RIA model. Again, TransitionToRIA.com. On today's episode we're talking about if you were to transition into the RIA model, perhaps by starting your own RIA or joining an RIA, could you use alternative investments in that model with your clients? Alternative investments, other people call them “alts”, particularly the last couple years there's been increasing popularity of using alts in investment portfolios. So the question is, if you're using alts now, will you be able to continue to do that? Or if you're not currently using them, and you aspire to, what would that look like? Is that going to be available to you? Part of the reason I want to make this episode is because there is at times a misconception out there by some advisors that the RIA space is lacking in access to alternative investment products. That was fair to say 10 years ago or farther back, but as with a lot of things in the RIA model, the ecosystem supporting the RIA model has grown to the point that is no longer accurate to make that statement that… “if you were to leave our big broker-dealer firm, our big wirehouse, you are going to lose access to using alternative investments with your clients, or at least the depth and scope of alternative investments that we make available to you here at our wirehouse.” Nowadays, if you hear someone trying to say that to you or message it to you, it's more than likely either one, they simply don't know what the RIA model has evolved to and the ecosystem to support it nowadays. And/or two, they are trying to convince you not to go in a different direction because that would involve leaving their firm. They are trying to either scare you or give you wrong information to get you to stop considering what a different path for your practice might look like. And again, as we’ll be talking about on today's episode, that's entirely incorrect. If anything, it is arguably now better in the RIA model. For example, and we won't name any particular firms, but if you're at a large broker-dealer firm and they make alternative investments available for you to use with your clients - and there are some nuances with that which I'll get into – but they have procured a list of alternative investments that you have to choose from.
