YOUR TRANSITION JOURNEY
Our goal is to help you every step of the way as you prepare to take advantage of the opportunities made available by opening a Summit office. Upon joining the firm, you will have an entire transition team dedicated to taking you through our customized process, from licensing and registration, to electronically transferring your clients’ accounts, to developing your new marketing plans, or establishing your office. At Summit, we have the expertise and the industry’s most advanced tools and technology to make this process of moving broker-dealers to an asset-gathering process.
From our perspective, no two transitions are the same. As a result, you should expect a detailed transition plan and timeline, all of which are curated based on your business’s goals.
Electronic Transition and Dashboard
Summit’s Transition Program is designed to “re-paper” all your client accounts, at one time, when you join Summit. The goals of this process are to:
- Generate your new client paperwork for you
- Electronically deliver the paperwork to your clients the day you join Summit
- Receive and process the client’s new paperwork to Summit’s back office
- Start receiving your advisory fees and trails in days versus weeks or months
Our Proven Process
With a keen knowledge and appreciation of exactly what it takes to make the transition process as smooth and seamless as possible, we’re able to get you up and running faster than any other firm in the business. You’ll find it’s the perfect chance to reconnect with your clients, offer new services and products, and gather additional assets.
Summit was awarded top honors in the Transition Support category at the WealthManagement.com Industry Awards.
