Lift-Out Snapshot

Lift-Out Expands Client Services for Director, Senior Wealth Advisor

Patrick Howley and some of the advisors from the former RIA he worked for sought a lift-out opportunity with Mariner Wealth Advisors so they could provide more comprehensive services for their clients. As a result of the lift-out, he and his team opened a new St. Louis office location for the firm, helping us expand our Midwest presence.

Challenges the Team Faced Prior to Lift-Out

• Lack of infrastructure support for advisors and clients
• Clients didn’t meet certain requirements of former firm
• Inability to provide comprehensive wealth planning to clients

“At my previous firm, it was difficult to help clients who were just starting out because the firm had minimum asset requirements,” Howley said.
