RFG Advisory Hosts Growth Conference for Financial Advisors Who Are Focused on Growth in 2024

March 25, 2024

At RFG Advisory, the excitement was palpable as we gathered for our largest event yet, the Annual Growth Retreat. Set against the backdrop of the luxurious Naples Grande Beach Resort in Naples, Florida, this year’s retreat marked a pivotal moment in our journey as we reimagined it to focus on growth—a testament to our commitment to empowering independent Financial Advisors.

Renaming it to a Growth Retreat was more than just a semantic change; it encapsulated the essence of what we aimed to achieve. As we delved into power-packed panels and engaging discussions, a resounding theme emerged: driving organic growth and enhancing enterprise value. It became clear that the key to sustainable success lies in investing in one’s business and continuously striving for improvement, even if it’s just by 1% each day.

As we continue to champion growth and innovation, we look forward to building on the momentum generated at this year’s retreat and empowering Financial Advisors to build the business they want to have without compromise.
