The two sides of the debate, needed a third side to compliment, valuation and custody services—how about enabling resources that give advisors control over their value proposition, cost structure, margins and professional standing which maximize practice valuation. Cracking this code makes advice safe, scalable, easy to execute and manage as a high margin business at the advisor level. Until these supporting resources are provided, advisors are still at the mercy of a simplistic product distribution model that is outside of the best interest of the investor and the professional standing of the advisor which minimizes the role of the broker and adversly constrains the valuation of their advisory practice.
