For broker dealers with deep roots in retirement, annuities, or transactional business, adding more fee-based and advice/planning based services is critical to long term success.

Strategic vision and experience required

As their business model undergoes significant innovation, firms find their strong technology teams lack the strategic vision and experience required to build an integrated advisory platform.

F2 Strategy brings that experience, as well as a deep understanding of the legacy broker dealer models. Our work with top advisory RIA and fee-based businesses and our focus on the connection between advisors and clients is ideal for broker dealers looking to innovate.

We start with connecting advisors with modern ways to engage their client base. By analyzing and redesigning client experiences and internal operations workflows, F2 Strategy brings the external world of client expectation down to ground level where changes and progress can be made to significantly improve outcomes.

Fast-growing RIAs have one thing in common: technology and marketing strategies that interact and deliver

Innovative technology can seem out of reach for firms with limited budgets. F2 Strategy has spent years innovating the consulting model to address the technology and operational needs of RIAs. Our Outsourced CTO (OCTO) offering is specifically tuned to help small, fast-growing RIAs obtain and integrate the technology they need to support their growth and improve advisor and client experiences.

Technology Process

Large complex wealth management firms face increased competition from smaller and more nimble firms that have garnered headlines, attracted away top talent and threatened to disrupt long established businesses. While firms know they must be vigilant in their technology investments, change in large institutions can be frustrating and slow.

We have a deep understanding of this juxtaposition between complex compliance requirements and modern technology needs. Many of our team members come from similar complex organizations. Our strategic approach treats the whole patient. For example, changes in operational efficiency can improve the client experience while new reporting capabilities spur changes in compliance and operations.

F2 Strategy helps wealth management firms create realistic and innovative strategies that are evidence-based and then manage the change throughout execution.

Strategy to execution

Family office businesses are highly complex and frequently underinvested in. With the coming generational wealth transfer, now is the time for reinvestment in technology and infrastructure.

Younger generations of the family will naturally expect a more digital, real time and comprehensive experience around their wealth.

F2 Strategy brings family offices intelligent technology strategies that improve and streamline the internal workings of a family office will be critical for many years to come. From data architecture to reporting, our services for family offices run the spectrum of operations, technology implementation, structured process design and risk management.

Incoming generation wealth transfer

We help our clients bridge the gap between client expectations and the experience banks currently deliver.

Bridge the gap

Bank-based investment and trust advisory services’ client stickiness and internal cross-sell opportunities are enviable. Yet many have fallen behind the expectations of their clients. To compete with nimble RIAs who deliver cutting-edge experiences, banks and trust companies must reimagine how they win and keep clients.

OCC regulations, trust, and state-specific legal requirements, as well as internal bank relationships, make it difficult for firms to find qualified advice. Unlike many consulting firms, F2 Strategy’s team members grew up in these complex environments. Our advice comes with more experience and know-how than any of our peers.

F2 uncovers strategic opportunities to increase market relevance, overall business growth, operational efficiency, and value to the parent company. We implement modern technology and automation (including AI), lead trust system selection and conversion, and emphasize digital

Traditional asset managers are balancing increasing operational complexity, evolving investor expectations, and growing pressure to modernize technology infrastructure without disrupting day-to-day business operations.

As firms scale products, expand data demands, and navigate legacy infrastructure, transformation initiatives require more than standalone technology decisions. They require a strategic approach that aligns operations, data, reporting, and technology across the investment lifecycle.

F2 Strategy helps traditional asset managers modernize operating models, optimize investment technology, improve enterprise data accessibility, and strengthen operational efficiency. Drawing from real-world transformation experience, our teams help firms build environments designed to support growth, transparency, and long-term adaptability.

Alternative asset managers are navigating increasing operational complexity driven by private market growth, evolving investor expectations, fragmented data environments, and expanding reporting requirements.

As firms scale strategies across private equity, private credit, real estate, hedge funds, and other alternative investments, operating models and technology infrastructure must evolve alongside the business. Managing complex investment structures, disconnected workflows, and growing data demands requires a more integrated and scalable approach.

Operational efficiency, transparency, and technology modernization have become critical priorities for today’s asset servicers.

Our teams help firms build scalable servicing environments designed to improve operational efficiency, transparency, and long-term growth.

Institutional investors are managing increasingly complex portfolios while navigating growing data demands, evolving governance expectations, and pressure to make faster, more informed investment decisions.

As pensions, endowments, foundations, and OCIOs evolve operating models and reporting frameworks, organizations require investment infrastructure capable of supporting transparency, scalability, and Total Portfolio-driven strategies.

F2 Strategy helps institutional investors strengthen investment operations, improve enterprise data accessibility, optimize reporting environments, and align technology ecosystems across the investment lifecycle.
