Wealth-management deal announcements outnumber closings 751 to 660 in 30 days

The two counts track separate events in the same window, so the 91-event spread is not a tally of deals that failed to close.

At a glance

25-second brief
  • Our deal log recorded 751 wealth-management deal announcements and 660 closings in the past 30 days.

  • Read as a ratio, announcements and closings ran at roughly 1.1 to 1 across the window, suggesting new deal flow and completed transactions moved at comparable rates.

  • Recruiting activity was the larger volume story: the log counted 1,563 advisor moves in the same 30 days, more than the 751 deal announcements and 660 closings combined (1,411).

Our deal log recorded 751 wealth-management deal announcements and 660 closings in the past 30 days.

Read as a ratio, announcements and closings ran at roughly 1.1 to 1 across the window, suggesting new deal flow and completed transactions moved at comparable rates.

The two counts track separate events in the same window, not a cohort followed from announcement to close; a closing logged this month generally traces to an announcement logged months earlier, and the log does not pair the two, so the 91-event spread does not identify deals that stalled.

Recruiting activity was the larger volume story: the log counted 1,563 advisor moves in the same 30 days, more than the 751 deal announcements and 660 closings combined (1,411). Deal announcements were the second-busiest category behind advisor moves.
