Farther says this setup is designed to improve transparency, ease coordination between advisors and clients, and create a smoother overall experience suited to each client&#8217;s specific circumstances and objectives.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Running a legacy RIA for years as CEO taught me exactly where traditional wealth management breaks down \u2013 and what it would take to fix it,&#8221; said Bear. &#8220;I needed a platform that not only helped to alleviate administrative burdens but also empowered me to best serve my clients&#8217; complex wealth needs. Farther is the first firm I&#8217;ve found that delivers this level of operational empowerment while still matching the high-touch service my clients deserve.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Because he has deliberately kept his client roster focused rather than expansive, Bear says he is able to give each relationship more attention. Farther&#8217;s platform, which includes tax loss harvesting, automatic portfolio rebalancing, sophisticated asset location strategies and personalized investment exclusions, is intended to add a further layer of customization aimed at improving client outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Casey&#8217;s approach to the client experience directly aligns with the Farther operating model, where high-touch service meets investment sophistication, and technology allows him to deliver a tailored experience at scale,&#8221; said Bailey, VP, Head of Growth at Farther. &#8220;Our promise to advisors like Casey has always been to provide the tools to spend more time with clients and less time working around their technology. Farther&#8217;s Intelligent Wealth Platform allows us to deliver on this promise.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Casey Bear brings $225M in client assets and 13 years as an RIA CEO to the platform.
