THE TALENT CRISIS IS HERE.
THE FUTURE OF WEALTH MANAGEMENT STARTS NOW
The industry faces a critical shortage—109,000 advisors retiring and 75,000 new advisors needed by 2030. The FA Institute is the revolutionary solution: the only platform combining AI-powered selection, elite coaching, and virtual apprenticeships to develop the next generation of HNW financial advisors.
TRADITIONAL TRAINING
MODELS ARE FAILING, WITH
WASHOUT RATES EXCEEDING 65%
We are disrupting the status quo. By converging CEG Worldwide’s proven advisor development methodologies with our proprietary Nightingale AI™ technology, we identify and cultivate elite talent with unprecedented accuracy.
THE UNPRECEDENTED CHALLENGE
AN INDUSTRY AT THE BRINK:
THE ADVISOR TALENT GAP
Wealth management is confronting a perfect storm. The $124 Trillion Great Wealth Transfer is underway, yet the advisor workforce is shrinking. The high cost (averaging $300K–$500K per trainee) and low success rates of traditional training cannot meet the demand, leaving firms vulnerable and clients underserved.
THE DATA IS CLEAR
109,000
RETIRING ADVISORS
Expected to retire in the next decade (37.5% of industry headcount).
75,000
NEW ADVISORS NEEDED
Required by 2030 to meet client demand.
65+%
WASHOUT RATE
The average failure rate of current industry training programs.
THE
INDEPENDENT GAP
The fastest-growing channels (RIA and IBD) lack the infrastructure to develop new talent at scale.
