PURCHASE THE TRUE ENSEMBLE™ 2026 REPORTS

The True Ensemble™ Data Insights 2026 includes the Growth and Profitability and Careers and Compensation reports.

Last year extended a decade-long pattern that is both compelling and consequential. Advisory firms reached an average operating profit margin of 38.6%, more than ten percentage points above where the industry stood a decade ago. Yet organic growth fell to just 3.7%, the lowest level in the ten-year dataset. For the first time, the data allows us to demonstrate that these two realities are not coincidental: prosperity breeds complacency, and complacency kills growth.

This Growth and Profitability report examines whether the conditions driving record profitability are building a durable foundation for future growth, or gradually eroding it.

If you are thinking about where your next advisor will come from or what happens to cash compensation as equity grows scarce, you can find insights in our Careers and Compensation report. The full report also includes compensation data on more than 25 roles within advisory firms.
