Compared to planners working alone, advisers working with a team generally have what?

• A. More assets under management but less revenue.
• B. More assets under management and more revenue.
• C. Fewer assets under management but more revenue.
• D. Fewer assets under management and less revenue.

Answer: (B)

Team-based advisory practices tend to scale beyond what a single planner can handle. With a team, you can serve more clients, cover more services, and manage larger asset pools, which increases assets under management. That growth in AUM typically drives higher advisory fees and, therefore, higher revenue. The togetherness also allows for specialization, streamlined service, and more effective business development, all of which help attract more assets and convert them into revenue. So, advisers working with a team generally see both greater assets under management and greater revenue compared with planners working solo.
