Today, it includes Carson Partners, a non-custodial RIA support network; Carson Coaching, which provides coaching for financial advisors; and Carson Wealth, its wealth management practice that also offers retirement planning.
The firm’s model portfolio, launched in late October 2022, has approximately $2 billion in AUM today.
