In the United States, there are approximately 218 thousand financial advisors. This is roughly nine advisors for every 10,000 adult citizens over 25. Some states have a higher concentration of financial advisors than others. SmartAsset recently analysed the top states that have the highest number of financial advisors per head. Here are some reasons why this imbalance is common:
300,000
With more than 300,000. financial advisors working in the US, there is an increasing demand for their services. And as the population ages, there will be fewer financial advisors to fill that demand. This is a good thing as the demand for financial advisors will continue to grow. Millennials make up the majority of advisors. Older workers are less inclined to work in a sales-driven field.
Millennials
A shift in approach to reaching millennials is essential, as they are a key demographic within the financial industry. For example, many advisors rely on minimum investment amounts as their primary model of fee-based service. Youngest millennials are just 25 years old. Financial advisors are more mature than millennials. Their average age in retirement is 55. Plus than 60% of advisors never met clients' children.
Retirement
According to Cerulli Research & Consulting, the US's number of financial advisors will drop by 0.4% in the next three years and then by 0.9% in the next ten years. More than 111,000 advisors are predicted to retire over the next ten-year period. This means that brokers-dealers won't be able to attract enough new talent for the vacant positions.
Compensation
There is a wide spread among the compensation of financial advisers in the US. The average annual salary for a lead advisor in San Francisco is $193,000, while those in Dallas make $175,000 annually. However, compensation for positions that are more distant from clients can be lower. Operations managers in Chicago and San Francisco, for example, earn approximately $102,000 per year. These figures are not representative of industry-wide averages.
Technology
Recent research shows that more than half of North American financial advisers consider leaving their firm. Younger advisors are less likely to leave than those who have been in the business for a while. Actually, there is a clear difference between Canadian and US advisors in terms marketing support. Only 15% of Canadian advisors agree that they get enough marketing support to grow their practice, while 95% of US professionals believe this.
