Feathery Moves $2 Billion in Q1 Assets as 1 in 3 Top 30 RIAs Adopt Platform

Summary
More than $2 billion in client assets moved through Feathery's advisor-transition platform in Q1 2026, underscoring how aggressively RIA firms are competing to recruit and retain advisors.
Delayed transitions can postpone revenue and sour a recruit's first impression, pushing firms to treat transition speed as a strategic advantage rather than a back-office task.
Feathery says its AI system automates data validation, flags missing information and prepares accounts before transition day, aiming to reduce errors across hundreds or thousands of client accounts.
About one-third of Barron's 2025 top 30 RIAs now use the platform, including Sequoia Financial and Allworth Financial, showing operational pressure has reached larger wealth-management firms.
The broader industry shift reflects rising advisor mobility, with firms racing to shorten the time between an advisor signing and beginning to serve clients.
