Dynasty President and CEO Shirl Penney.
Dynasty Financial Partners has launched a new M&A platform for RIAs.
The platform, Dynasty Connect, aims to help advisor firms with vetting and due diligence of potential business partners, financing, negotiation, transaction structure, post-merger integration and related issues.
In addition, Dynasty says many of the 47 firms in its network — which have a total of $35 billion in client assets — have "ambitious inorganic growth plans" and could be potential partners for advisors looking to switch firms or sell their businesses. (Over the past two years, Dynasty-affiliated firms have struck 15 deals tied to $7.2 billion in assets under advisement.)
"I am delighted to see Ed and the team's vision come to life in having an integrated offering of services to provide support for advisors looking to buy or sell their advisory business," according to Dynasty President and CEO Shirl Penney, referring to Chief Operating Officer Ed Swenson.
