Ron’s assessment is brilliant and absolute, so where will fiduciary standing be supported and even stregnthened?
We are in need of a fee market advisory services solution divorced from brokerage conflicts. Given it does not look good for a brokerage or insurance fiduciary solution we must now turn to either: (1) banks superceding brokerages (employee, custody and contract vendor models) in being responsive to the advisory services needs of the advisor or (2) a new type of large scale advisory services support firm which is not defined by brokerage or conflicts of interest.
Both these promising solutions require the construction of a highly structured easy to manage and execute support infrastructure which can safely accomodate advisors more entrapraneurial than conventional bank employees in trust, advisory and brokerage.
