The Problem (Pain Points)
Disproportionate Time and Effort
Advisors often spend as much time on a $25,000 account as they do on a $2.5 million account. Routine check-ins, service requests, and compliance requirements create a heavy workload — without the revenue to justify the time investment.
Profitability Pressures
With tighter margins and increased competition, firms can’t afford to keep allocating valuable resources to households that don’t generate meaningful fees. Every hour spent on a sub-threshold client is an hour not spent deepening high-value relationships.
Compliance and Oversight Risks
Smaller accounts often fall to the bottom of the priority list, which increases the risk of neglected service, incomplete documentation, or poor follow-up. Even a single overlooked account can expose a firm to regulatory scrutiny.
Every major broker-dealer and RIA faces the same issue: what to do with smaller accounts that don’t meet firm minimums. While these clients deserve care and attention, the reality is that servicing them creates significant business challenges:
Inefficient Internal Solutions
Some firms attempt to solve this problem by setting up internal call centers or “advice desks” for smaller clients. But building and managing these desks is costly, time-consuming, and often ineffective — stretching resources without delivering a meaningful client experience.
