Has anyone heard of The Colony Group? Are they a reputable RIA? I’m interviewing with them now and in a career switch so I want to make sure they’re reputable especially on the private wealth level.

Their reputable for sure. Sub-scale but the industry knows who they are

Thanks!

They are reputable, I would not reccomend them over many other RIAS though, especially depending on what your background is and what you would be doing there. They are large to the point of being an aggregate (taking over smaller RIAS). If your looking into wealth management as a whole for working at a smaller firm, stay clear.

What do you suggest is a better pathway? Just to go straight into a small RIA?

Hi Guys,
Can anyone help me with an information on how EY INDIA provides variable to employees. I know it's 0-20%, so is it monthly ? or what kind of measures they consider in order to provide variable pay.
Also, suppose the package is 6 Lakhs, so can we say that the package is 600000 + 20% of 6 Lakhs = 720000. (As EY has 20% variable Pay)

Thanks in Advance !
