Why not? What is the main value you offer and deliver to your clients?
rebalancing a main value? I manage money. I don't have someone else tell me what mutual fund to put a clienT in and then act like I know what they are truly invested in.... that's your job.

You skipped leg day.

I didn't say re-balancing was a main value.

I just asked what your main value add to your clients is. "I manage money" doesn't sound like much of a differentiator.

How do you manage it? I'm seriously asking. I'm curious what you say to clients/prospects
global top-down analysis to determine which individual companies will be the biggest winners/loser... emphasis on using deravatives for leverage and risk managment all while maintaining the goal of preserving capital

This sounds really awesome especially to an uneducated client, but serious question - the best money managers in the world can't beat the index without taking on way more risk, so why would anyone believe you can do it?  Same for the other hot shot stock pickers here who focus on value stocks with dividends as Growth is crushing it.  Let's be honest these companies have incredible resources like boots on the ground and you're a 30 something in GA that spends a lot of time on the golf course.  Naturally, you can beat the index by taking a large position in Apple or Amazon, but you're taking way more risk.  I'm not trying to throw shade btw.....valid question

Sure. But that's not what the specific language you strung together above REALLY conveys. All I really saw of note is you pick winners and losers

You asked how I manage money. That was my answer.

You could just ask a question and they'll tell you what they want from you.

Hi,

My partner and I are looking at leaving our current firm for RIA land and I’m looking to get some advice.

We are currently getting recruited by an ria. Their pitch essentially is to take care of all the admin stuff, help with the transitioning, and provide a top tier tech suite. They would take 15 bips to provide this service.

My first question is about tech. I’m concerned with finding tech that works well together. What are you guys using for crm, rebalancing, etc that Work together?

How long would you say it takes to plan an exit if we did it all ourselves instead of going to an already established RIA?

Back to the original questions:

15bps is kinda steep if that's what all they are offering. If you are at a wire with $100mm I would guess you have a dedicated assistant.  I would imagine you could pay her less than $150k to handle the same admin.  The new custodian will usually help with the "transition", and everyone says they have "top-tier" tech.  

Other things to consider:
Are they providing compliance? 
Are they providing a buy/sell if something happened to you?
Do they have a "Brand"?

I would suggest figuring out what you need when it comes to tech.  You can go hog-wild and spend a ton, or you can "chief" it and use barebones that gives you what you need.  Talking to an RIA custodian to see what they have/suggest would be the best place to start.

Hopefully this doesn't end up you:
