Advisors are increasingly finding themselves at odds with their w-2 employers who oppose fiduciary duty and professional standing of those who render advice. Evolving data standards inevitably streamline cost and change our conception of products, technology and advice. Modernity in the client's best interest will prevail sooner than we all think. SCW

So you didn't do your fiduciary duty by choosing the best custodian for your clients... you did what Well Fargo wouldn't sue you for? Hope you mention that to your clients.

Big Bopper, Custodians do not support fiduciary duty for fear they would be deemed being prescriptive thus triggering fiduciary liability. So, it is not a matter of choosing the "best custodian", it is a matter of choosing the "best RIA" around which to build your business. SCW
