Advisor Value Proposition

Business Enhancements

Pure works closely with its advisor partners to identify and nurture next-generation talent within their offices, including seasoned advisors with aspirations of becoming lead advisors, junior advisors eager to take the next step in their careers, and staff seeking greater responsibilities. In order to incentivize and retain G2 advisors, Pure offers a management incentive program that includes the option of phantom stock. It's worth noting that all non-partner advisors must join Pure as W2 advisors, as the company does not support 1099 advisors.

Business Enhancements
Planning Support

Pure has para-planner centrally that can assist with planning functions. Pure provides its advisors with dedicated support staff teams, departments, and supplements this with additional support from its headquarters as needed. offers comprehensive training to its advisors and staff to ensure the smooth operation and management of local offices.

Planning Support
Operational Support

Pure wants to take the partner out of back-office operations so they can focus on clients. Marketing, billing, HR, payroll, technology, compliance will all be centralized.

Operational Support
Expansion of Services

Beyond traditional portfolio management and financial planning, Pure offers estate planning, retirement planning, tax planning, risk management consulting, and cash flow analysis.

Expansion of Services
Organic Growth

Pure Financial advisors are not responsible for lead generation, business development or appointment setting. Rather, they focus on meeting with qualified prospective clients, closing business, and maintaining the relationship ongoing. As a result, Pure’s Advisors have more time to spend closing prospective clients and to work with existing clients, and hence the Sr. Advisors oversee a greater average number of clients than the average RIA . Pure has achieved significant organic growth in recent years and possesses the resources to provide its advisors and partners with multi-channel media marketing support to further drive organic growth. If expanding into a new geography for Pure, the goal is to grow the local region, but that growth doesn’t necessarily need to come from the existing team as Pure is comfortable hiring advisors around the existing team to drive the growth. Pure employs various marketing channels such as television (e.g., "Your Money, Your Wealth"), radio, podcasts, publishing, webinars, classes, and paid lead sources to generate thousands of leads for the firm. These leads are then passed on to the business development team for cultivation into prospective clients.

Organic Growth
Practice Management

Pure has established practice management protocols that are highly recommended for its partners but are not mandatory. The company has allocated central teams organized in "pods" to assist advisors with servicing their clients and providing additional support as needed. Pure has also assigned personnel to an internal practice management team dedicated to providing expertise and guidance to its partners. Pure also assists partners with employee performance management, strategic growth planning, and work-week structure models in helping drive operational efficiency.
