Notably, advisors implementing just two of these behaviors achieved 5x higher growth rates compared to peers.
The study found that top performers maintain a median client age of 60 or younger, with less than 35% in decumulation phase. Additionally, 30-60% of growth comes from top 10% AUM clients, while approximately 35% of growth derives from clients with $500,000+ under management.
