Dive into [Episode #123: Scaling Advisor Solutions with TAMPs](https://www.vaneck.com/us/en/blogs/trends-with-benefits/trends-with-benefits-123-scaling-advisor-solutions-with-tamps/) to learn how turnkey asset management platforms are helping RIAs and how model portfolio adoption has changed over time. Colin shares how GeoWealth began and how he got the first client on the platform without having a sales team. We discuss the use of TAMPs across advisor types, the growth of model portfolios, and key considerations when onboarding new models. ### Press Play: The show can be listened to directly from the [VanEck website](https://www.vaneck.com/us/en/blogs/trends-with-benefits/trends-with-benefits-123-scaling-advisor-solutions-with-tamps/), or you can listen and subscribe to this podcast on [Apple Podcasts](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/trends-with-benefits/1500081055), [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/238W5OvFPEw4tqaXoDqdAX), [SoundCloud](https://soundcloud.com/trendswithbenefitspodcast), and [YouTube](https://youtu.be/IiZePITSTTk). ### Show Notes: 01:39 -- Intro to GeoWealth 03:43 -- The growth of model portfolios 06:15 -- The mix between ETF and mutual fund models 07:26 -- Advisor-led models 10:43 -- Due diligence in model onboarding 15:13 -- AI in financial services 18:37 -- The start of GeoWealth 25:30 -- Is more M&A activity happening in the TAMP space? 32:10 -- Long-term trend 33:00 -- Trend or fad? ### Read the [transcript](https://www.vaneck.com/us/en/blogs/trends-with-benefits/trends-with-benefits-123-scaling-advisor-solutions-with-tamps/):[![vaneck](https://blog.geowealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Graphics/vaneck.png?width=740&height=370&name=vaneck.png)](https://www.vaneck.com/us/en/blogs/trends-with-benefits/trends-with-benefits-123-scaling-advisor-solutions-with-tamps/)   ###### DISCLOSURE: **Information presented on this program is believed to be factual and up-to-date, but we do not guarantee its accuracy and it should not be regarded as a complete analysis of the subjects discussed.
