Noting that 2020 has been a strong year for deals involving registered investment advisory firms, FP Transitions projects it will handle 22 transactions totaling $35 million in the third quarter and 16 transactions with volume of $30 million in the fourth quarter.

If our projections are correct, 2020 could outperform 2019, said CEO Brad Bueermann.
