By GlobalDataBob Jesenik, CEO and co-founder of Aequitas, said: "We are broadening the scope of Aequitas’ services to address the challenges of mid-sized RIAs. This is the fastest-growing segment of advisors, expanding at a rate of 20 to 30% each year.
"Unfortunately, these firms are often too large to qualify for government-backed small business loans, yet too small to attract private equity firms. We hope to become the dedicated growth partner they need, and provide them with the right resources to grow from a small- to mid-sized firm to a thriving enterprise," he added.
