Sound Income Strategies Achieves Unprecedented Growth Amid Rising Demand for Income-Oriented Investments

Sound Income Strategies Records Outstanding Growth in 2024

In an impressive display of strategic growth, Sound Income Strategies, a registered investment advisor (RIA) with the SEC, announced a remarkable 32% increase in total assets under management, reaching over $3.5 billion in 2024. This achievement reflects the company’s innovative approach to income-generating investment strategies that have caught the attention of advisors and clients alike.

The firm’s success can be attributed to robust recruiting efforts which led to a 7% growth in its advisor base, now representing over 100 advisors across the country. Additionally, to accommodate this growth, Sound Income Strategies expanded its home office team by 25%, establishing a stronger backbone for its operations. Consequently, the number of client accounts surged by 22%, accumulating more than 23,000 accounts.

David J. Scranton, the founder and CEO of Sound Income Strategies, emphasized the importance of their approach. Drawing from over 20 years of experience in the financial industry, Scranton recognized the overlooked risks inherent in traditional investment strategies, particularly the common 60/40 portfolio model. By prioritizing income generation while safeguarding client principal, he has developed a distinctive investment philosophy aimed at providing a steady stream of income for clients during retirement. This approach not only supports clients in achieving their financial goals but has also motivated many advisors to transition their practices towards income-focused portfolios.

Scranton's philosophy centers around generating reliable income from interests, dividends, and various income-producing investment vehicles. This unique focus helps clients maximize their retirement income and total returns while mitigating unnecessary risks. The strategy operates on his belief that wealth managers should attract clients without chasing after them, a principle that has been instrumental in the firm’s impressive growth.

"I remember my early struggles as a financial advisor, where chasing clients through traditional networking methods was inefficient," Scranton reflects. After transitioning to an attraction-based marketing strategy, his success allowed him to expand and even launch two other associated businesses. This fundamental shift in approach is also articulated in his latest book, Attract & Grow: The Financial Advisor's Blueprint for Attracting $50 Million in Annual Assets.
