Launch of Dynasty’s M&A Podcast Series: Inside the Deal
In an effort to meet the growing demand of clients to have more M&A support, Dynasty Financial Partners has recently expanded its M&A and capital strategies department.
“We expect the surge in M&A activity to be sustainable over the near future and have positioned our balance sheet, credit facilities and capital programs to be ready for that growth. More clients are coming to us than ever before to get advice on deal structure, valuation and capital. Through this strategic investment in resources, we are confident that we can support RIAs in closing and financing deals effectively and with confidence,” said Harris Baltch, Head of M&A and Capital Strategies for Dynasty Financial Partners and ASx.
“Dynasty’s brand and leadership position in the marketplace has attracted a significant pool of talent from Wall Street that is passionate about the wealth management industry and in particular helping RIAs scale and grow through M&A.”
As a complement to this initiative, Dynasty will be rolling out a new podcast mini-series in Spring 2021 dedicated to educating RIAs on M&A. Entitled “Inside the Deal” and hosted by Harris Baltch, the podcast is intended for RIAs seeking to learn more about the M&A process and will feature several prominent industry veterans and M&A experts as they share their own stories about dealmaking.
Mr. Baltch added, “So many RIAs want to do M&A but don’t have a game plan. We think the podcast will shine a light on what really happens inside the deal room and how an RIA that wants to be acquisitive can be successful in doing so.”
More details about the podcast are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
