The demand for innovation and modernity in advisory services is insatiable, b/ds are of litlle help to advisors thus fintech companies like Orian hold great promise. Market share is wide open and will take incumbent market leaders to places they rather not go. Our conception of advisory services is changing especially with the SEC getting sewrious about fiduciary duty a place wgere incumbents have not served with distinction. Orio has no fear or cultural puch beck which impedes innovation and <a href="http://modernity.as" rel="nofollow">modernity.as</a> that is how market share is won. The reticence of b.ds and incumbent vendors to support expert fiduciary duty in the best interest of the investing public isOrion's secret weapon, The investing public will respond to an exponentially higher level of counsel, at a lower cost which advances the professional standing of the advisor. Affording the investor consumer protections being denied by incumbent b/ds and vendors makes much of what we know as advisory services today as obsolete. SCW
