Over 11,000 advisors left their firms in 2025 — the largest exodus in industry history. If you're at Merrill, Morgan Stanley, UBS, or Wells Fargo and doing the math, we'd like to have a conversation.
Whether you're finally ready to make a move, looking to accelerate growth on your own terms, or thinking about what your practice looks like in the next chapter — we've built PVI for each of these moments.
You're done with the comp grid cuts, the banking cross-sell pressure, and the proprietary product lists. You're ready to own your practice. We provide the infrastructure, compliance, and operational support to make day one go smoothly — and day 1,000 even better.
You're already independent but want institutional investment access, a stronger brand, and a platform that helps you acquire and retain clients at a higher level. PVI's resources accelerate growth without adding overhead.
At a wirehouse, your succession options are limited and the economics are set by someone else. At PVI, you build enterprise value that you actually own — and choose how you monetize it. We offer structured programs that protect your clients, your team, and your legacy.
Wirehouse grids keep compressing. At $1M production, major wirehouses pay 44–49% effective payout. At PVI, advisors typically retain 60–90%+ after expenses. On the same book, that difference is real money — every year.
Everything you need to run and grow a successful advisory practice — without the complexity of building it yourself.
Full support for advisors moving from wirehouses or independent firms. We handle the operational complexity so you can focus on your clients.
Access to PVI's institutional-quality model portfolios, managed by our internal investment committee led by Chris O'Neill, CFA.
Entity formation support, custodian onboarding, and all operational infrastructure needed to launch your registered practice. We work alongside your compliance counsel to ensure a smooth setup.
Dedicated trading desk support across Schwab and Altruist custodians, with real-time execution and rebalancing capabilities.
Onboarding and ongoing training across PVI's full technology stack — eMoney, RightCapital, Tamarac, Monarch, and more.
Access to PVI's financial planning resources, including complimentary eMoney subscriptions for all clients and planning team support.
Ongoing compliance oversight, ADV maintenance, client communications review, and regulatory support so you stay focused on your clients.
Professional bio pages, team presence on pinevalleyinvestments.com, Morning Core newsletter access, and marketing support from our team.
Structured programs to help senior advisors transition their practice — protecting their clients, their team, and their financial legacy.
At a wirehouse, your technology is assigned. At PVI, you choose. We've built a full best-of-breed stack — and as the industry evolves, so does the platform. That includes AI-powered productivity tools that help you spend more time with clients and less time on paperwork.
All tools are adopted in accordance with applicable compliance and regulatory requirements.
Every advisor who has joined PVI left a firm where the rules weren't written in their favor. Here's what changes.
The rankings were determined based on two dimensions: (1) Peer/Client Recommendations — collected via an independent survey sent to over 20,000 clients and financial advisors; and (2) Growth of Assets under Management (AUM) — analyzed both short (12 months) and long-term (5 years) based on publicly available data. Pine Valley Investments did not compensate USA Today for this award.
PVI isn't a startup bet. Experienced advisor teams — many from the same firms you're at today — have built thriving practices here. Their transition is proof that the infrastructure works.
Whether you're planning a transition, looking to grow, or thinking about succession — we'd love to have a conversation. No pressure, no pitch.
