This study focuses on the effects that business models have on advisor managed portfolio per- formance by attempting to determine if advisors at Registered Investment Advisory (RIA) firms pro- duce higher net investment results compared with advisors employed at dually registered Independent Broker/Dealer (IBD) firms. Using data from one of the largest investment advisory plat- forms in the United States, we found qualified supporting evidence that advisors at RIAs outper- formed advisors at IBDs in higher-risk portfolios through the use of Turnkey Asset Management Programs and Unified Managed Accounts.
