6 AI Prompts ETF Wholesalers Use to Win More Advisor Business

Written by Renae Hatcher | Nov 18, 2025 4:29:23 PM

ETF wholesalers are operating in one of the most competitive distribution environments ever. Markets move quickly, advisors adjust portfolios even faster, and getting in front of the right decision-makers, at exactly the right time, has become a data-driven sport. FINTRX gives wholesalers that edge. Built for the private wealth ecosystem, FINTRX combines real-time advisor behavior tracking, natural language search, and AI-powered relationship mapping to help ETF wholesalers pinpoint high-fit RIAs, uncover warm paths, and personalize outreach at scale. Discover six high-impact prompts top ETF wholesalers use across their territory planning, model portfolio selling, and active ETF distribution workflows.

1. "Find RIAs in my territory with $500M+ AUM that allocate to active ETFs and custody with Fidelity."

This is the cornerstone prompt for territory planning. It helps ETF wholesalers zero in on the RIAs that matter most: large firms, aligned with your custodian, already allocating to active ETFs.

Why This Works:

FINTRX translates your prompt into the right combination of filters (AUM minimums, geography, custodian, and active ETF usage), producing a refined list of high-value targets.

Why It Matters:

You eliminate wasted time on firms with the wrong custodian, insufficient scale, or no interest in active management. You start every quarter with a cleaner, more focused outbound plan.

Use Case:

Quarterly territory resets, pipeline building, or identifying which RIAs should be a top-of-funnel priority.

2. "Which advisors have increased ETF allocations in the past 12 months?"

Momentum matters. This prompt surfaces advisors actively increasing their ETF usage, indicating openness to reallocation discussions.

Why This Works:

FINTRX analyzes year-over-year allocation trends, highlighting advisors who added new ETFs, adjusted weights, or reworked their models.

Why It Matters:

These advisors are mid-transition. Whether driven by macro shifts, client demand, or model changes, they’re more likely to consider new sleeve upgrades or fund replacements.

Use Case:

Target advisors actively reshaping portfolios, prime candidates for conversations about your active ETF lineup.

3. "Show me senior decision-makers at RIAs using ETF model portfolios."

It’s one thing to find model users. It’s another to get in front of the architects behind them.

Why This Works:

FINTRX cross-references ETF model usage with org charts and titles, identifying CIOs, investment committee members, and portfolio managers who actually drive allocation decisions.

Why It Matters:

Influence lives at the model level. Winning here can translate into firm-wide adoption, not a single account.

Use Case:

Pitching a thematic ETF sleeve, a style-box replacement, or a portfolio-level active ETF strategy.

4. "Summarize this RIA’s investment strategy and product allocation."

Think of this as your pre-call cheat sheet. Before every outreach or meeting, this prompt gives you the full picture, without hours of prep.

Why This Works:

FINTRX AI Analyst pulls allocation data, fund preferences, AUM trends, and recent behavioral shifts to produce a tailored, actionable summary.

Why It Matters:

You enter every meeting prepared with the insight that counts, how ETF-heavy they are, what they prefer, and how your fund aligns with their strategy.

Use Case:

Cold outreach, conference meetings, follow-up prep, or tailoring fund messaging to each firm.

5. "Which RIAs have increased allocations to active ETFs in the past 12 months?"

Not all ETF momentum is equal. FINTRX helps wholesalers pinpoint advisors leaning specifically toward active ETF strategies, your core value driver.

Why This Works:

FINTRX flags RIAs showing growth in active ETF usage across models, positions, or reallocations, true behavioral shift, not just market drift.

Why It Matters:

Advisors increasing active ETF exposure are ideal targets for differentiated fund conversations, thematic strategies, or model upgrades.

Use Case:

Prioritizing advisors who are in evaluation mode and receptive to new active ETF offerings.

6. "Who at this firm can provide a warm intro to the head of investments?"

This is relationship intelligence at its smartest. Use this to replace cold outreach with warm, referral-friendly access points.

Why This Works:

FINTRX Relationship Path finds warm introduction points, shared connections, or team-level overlaps across RIAs, broker-dealers, and family offices.

Why It Matters:

Referrals outperform cold outreach every time. This prompt turns “Who should I reach out to?” into “Here’s exactly who can get me in the door.”

Use Case:

Turning priority targets into booked meetings by finding the fastest, warmest route in.
