Bloomberg intelligence depth. McKinsey market interpretation. Applied to adviser mobility.
Structural consolidation across UK wealth management is entering a critical phase. Private equity ownership cycles, acquisition integration programmes and increasing competitive adviser hiring activity are combining to create elevated mobility risk conditions across multiple advice firms.
Traditional retention metrics tend to identify adviser departures after asset movement has already begun. Atlas Intelligence has been developed to provide early-warning visibility of emerging adviser capital flight risk before it becomes visible in reported retention data.
Firms in years 3–5 post-acquisition show significantly higher adviser mobility scores than independently owned firms, with risk concentrated among mid-tenure advisers (5–12 years).
2.4× higher AMS scoresAdviser populations approaching earn-out expiry windows show measurable increases in exploratory behaviour 6–9 months before contractual release dates, creating predictable departure clustering.
6–9 months pre-visibilityRegions with three or more active competitor hiring programmes show substantially higher adviser mobility scores, suggesting competitive density is a significant structural risk amplifier across populations.
