Unlocking Retirement Success with Truly Independent’s 4×4 Succession Plan

In an industry where retirement plans often come with bold promises but little follow-through, Truly Independent stands out. Many advisers have faced disappointment when other firms’ enticing retirement plans fail to deliver. Such “false promises” can devastate a retirement plan, leaving advisers without the security they need after years of dedication to their clients. At Truly Independent, we take a different approach—one rooted in transparency, commitment, and real results. Our 4×4 Succession Plan is not just a promise; it’s a contractual commitment that safeguards your future and ensures a seamless transition for your clients.

A Retirement Plan You Can Trust from Day One

Unlike competitors who offer enticing but vague retirement plans, Truly Independent provides a fully transparent buyout contract upon joining. This document guarantees that our succession plan is more than just words. From the moment you join us, you’ll have a detailed understanding of what your retirement plan entails:

  • It Exists: The buyout contract serves as your assurance that our succession plan is concrete, reliable, and legally binding, providing a clear path for your retirement.
  • It States the Value and Payment Plan: Your contract specifies the value of the buyout, offering up to 4x your annual renewal income, along with a clearly defined payment structure to give you peace of mind.*

*Actual agreed purchase value may vary subject to terms and certain conditions.

  • It Sets Out Expectations: We outline what’s expected from you as an adviser to ensure the smoothest possible transition when you’re ready to retire, so there’s no ambiguity, only a clear roadmap.
Truly Private Clients: Supporting Your Clients, Preserving Your Legacy

Truly Private Clients was created exclusively to support retiring advisers and their clients, providing continuity of care from vetted, high-caliber advisers.

When you choose our 4×4 Succession Plan, you know your clients are in the best hands—continuing their journey with an adviser who shares your values and commitment to excellence.

As one of our advisers shared:
