Barnaby Grist: If you fit into the LPL box, that’s a great place to be, but if you like to do things your own way, you probably want to go to an environment that’s more customized to your needs.

Many large RIAs are considering switching from Advent. The reason is embedded in this article. It takes too many support people to implement and maintain Advent.

Mr. Grist is a very resourceful fellow. I worked with him when he was with Schwab Institutional. I believe any Hybrid Platform that allows a single-signon and consolidated statements (without sacrificing advanced RIA Trading Capabilities) will win. I believe some of the custodians platforms supporting RIA firms still cannot handle commission-based trades on one system. Efficiency in integrating both might be key. The integration is a trait I’m often asked when speaking with a Hybrid Advisor interested in TradePMR.
