Breaking bread at Franklin Templeton's Private Markets RIA Advisory Council - Franklin Templeton's Dave Donahoo and Summit Wealth Group's Chelsea Ganey

Q: How should firms balance customization with scale in serving the RIA channel?

By building a centralized CIO function and curated menus that maintain investment integrity while offering guardrails and consistency across geographies, so advisors can deliver a strong, scalable client experience.

Breaking bread at Franklin Templeton's Private Markets RIA Advisory Council - Franklin Templeton's Dave Donahoo and Summit Wealth Group's Chelsea Ganey

Q: What do you think the benefit of something like this council is, and being able to bring peers together from different places?

The benefit is the network and deeper relationships with asset managers and peers, which helps participants understand what works, what doesn't, and how to design approaches that fit different advisor and client needs.

Juventus' Giorgio Chiellini - life lessons in sports and business from a world-class performer on and off the field

Q: Does that mean that you evaluate players differently today in terms of their mental makeup and their ability to handle pressure than 20 years ago, and what goes into that?

Today there is greater awareness of the mental aspects; the environment is louder and more complex, with more data and expectations. Still, the core is to assess resilience, ability to stay lucid under pressure, and potential to develop under changing circumstances.

Lincoln International's Brian Garfield - how is AI impacting private markets valuations?

Q: How did you end up in the valuation space?

I entered valuations somewhat by chance, starting with the theory of purchase price allocations, but the 2008 financial crisis created a new need for third-party valuations, which drew me into evaluating private companies and understanding how they grow with private capital markets.

AlphaCore Wealth Advisory's Dick Pfister - Wealth management with alpha at its core: live from iCapital Connect

Q: How do you balance customization with scale while growing a platform that already offers a broad range of investments?

The approach is to segment clients and build nine scalable models aligned to accreditation levels, with approved funds and a flexible, open-architecture framework. Advisors can choose off-the-shelf models or customize within a governed system, and over time, the better-performing models tend to be adopted broadly, allowing both customization and scale to co-exist.
