Congratulations to Jim and to TD. Bringing Jim aboard will really add to the head of steam TD has. Looking forward to hearing of more exciting news from a custodian with passion for innovative thinking and execution.

Exciting changes for both TD Ameritrade and Pershing. It will be interesting to see where the new leadership takes each firm.

Asset custodians are the central players in the RIA business and choosing one is the biggest decision most financial advisors will make to build their business. As the place where RIAs park their assets (the same way a captive broker would park assets at Merrill Lynch or UBS), custodians serve hundreds or thousands of these registered investment advisors and make big investments in technology and service on their clients' behalf.

This section features a series of articles under the “Asset Custody Project” label that cover these companies in a way that keeps advisors abreast of their progress – both with journalistic commentary and a common set of data so that advisors can easily compare them. The articles look at the strengths, weaknesses and niche capabilities of these companies.
