Synchronized successions to follow retirement of Vanguard's fixed-income chief in London

If RIA rollups (1) do not add any value by providing the enabling processes, technology, functional division of labor, statutory documentation, conflict of interest management, advisory services support for each of the ten major market segments necessary to support fiduciary counsel and to make the full range of advisory services scalable and (2) do not provide a financial model that works in good times and bad, then wouldn’t it be a good idea to structure RIA rollups around a model that actually understands and supports advisory services rather simply leverage off the value the advisor creates?

Looks like United Capital gets it, the advisor and their needs are actually important.
