Separating Operations and Capital Structures of Both Entities Reinforces Longstanding Independence and Objectivity of WSR Editorial Team
Positions RLR Strategic Partners to Fully Focus on Growth Consulting and M&A Advisory Solutions Going Forward
WSR Launches Inaugural Sponsor Partner Program, Naming Zachary Drew, Former Chief of Staff to LPL Financial CEO, Head of Sponsor Partner Relations
NEW YORK, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Finetric Media, the parent entity of Wealth Solutions Report (WSR), today announced the completion of its spinout from RLR Strategic Partners. As part of this move, Finetric Media has formed a fully separate legal entity, operations and capital structure from RLR Strategic Partners.
Julius Buchanan, who has served as WSR’s Editor-in-Chief since the outlet’s launch four years ago, will remain in this role while onboarding additional management responsibilities. Larry Roth will continue to serve as CEO of both Finetric Media and RLR Strategic Partners.
Reinforcing Objectivity and Independence of WSR, Forward Growth Plan for RLR
RLR Strategic Partners implemented this spinoff in order to exclusively focus on growth consulting and M&A advisory services for the wealth management industry, while reinforcing the longstanding independence and objectivity of WSR’s editorial team.
Commenting on the completion of this spinout, Mr. Roth said, “When I launched Wealth Solutions Report, I made the conscious decision to invest heavily in our independent editorial team, emphasizing the importance of high-quality, objective content. This approach has enabled WSR to build its platform on a strong bedrock of credibility. The reputation and reach that WSR has developed in just four years has been truly remarkable.”
Mr. Roth continued, “I look forward to continuing to guide the expansion of WSR for many years to come. Equally important, I look forward to doing so under an operational and capital structure that eliminates potential conflicts of interest while optimizing the ability of WSR and RLR Strategic Partners to each achieve the next stage of their respective growth goals.”
Rollout of WSR’s Inaugural Sponsor Partner Program
In a related development, Wealth Solutions Report also announced the launch of its inaugural sponsor partner program, providing wealth management enterprises and the third-party solutions providers who serve them with unique opportunities to drive brand elevation, industry influence and business growth opportunities.
WSR’s sponsor partners will be able to select from a flexible selection of offerings to reach the outlet’s highly engaged community of readers and followers, comprised of C-suite executives at wealth management enterprises, their financial advisors and leaders of third-party solutions providers.
Spearheading this program is Zachary Drew, a strategic growth consultant who is serving as WSR’s Head of Sponsor Partner Relations. Previously, Mr. Drew served as Chief of Staff to Mark Casady during Mr. Casady’s tenure as Chairman and CEO of LPL Financial.
Julius Buchanan said, “From the quality of its content to the credibility of its editorial team, WSR has stayed true to its founding mission: We spotlight actionable growth strategies for wealth management industry participants in stories that pair thoughtful analysis with compelling narratives. The spinout of WSR’s operations and capital structure from RLR Strategic Partners, combined with the rollout of our inaugural sponsor partner program, further supports our ability to deliver on this mission. Looking ahead, I’m excited about all that WSR can accomplish.”
