Sowell Management Grows Organically, Ahead of RIA Curve
The writing is on the wall for Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) that aim to sustain the growth they have experienced in recent years. For most RIAs the majority of recent growth has come from market appreciation and accelerating merger and acquisition (M&A) activities, not the true organic growth from new client acquisition.

Executive Q&A: CEO Bill Sowell on Expanding into NWA
With 50-plus branch offices all across the country and being based in Arkansas, it only made sense that we would expand our efforts into northwest Arkansas with a physical presence. We would not have opened an office in northwest Arkansas without an anchor. Fortunately, that opportunity came through acquiring Sector Grid Advisors, who were affiliated with Raymond James in Rogers. The advisers, Bob Taylor and Tonya McKaughan, were a perfect fit for us in every way — their size, which was around $120 million, and focus on client service, along with being a great cultural fit and just basically being really good people. … Our projections have us topping $200 million in four years, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we hit that much quicker.
