Sidley Austin LLP’s Post

Recent post from Rob Santos, CEO, on why employee-owned RIAs are the ideal choice when considering M&A. "One of the key concerns with private equity-backed acquisitions is the short-term focus on returns. Most private equity buyers have a goal to sell their investment within 7 or 5 years. We believe this timeline does not align with the long-term value proposition to the underlying clients. The revolving door of ownership can disrupt client relationships and undermine trust, ultimately compromising the integrity of the RIA’s service offerings." https://lnkd.in/g2sHQ28e

Answer: It’s not like selling a car or a house — there’s a lot more at stake. Most owners sell a business once in their lifetime. Larger corporations and private equity funds buy companies frequently. In fact, some PE funds might make 5 to 10 acquisitions in one year. That means they’re experts in buying – so you need an expert to represent you when you’re selling!
