Schwab execs all but dash RIA hopes for TD Ameritrade VEO One survival by pitting the open-API platform against expediency and an admitted pro-Schwab bias

This is irresponsible journalism and a complete mis-characterization of what was said at our recent Business Update, particularly the headline and the lead paragraph. Schwab executives were clear that where there is material advantage to TD’s platforms those would be taken into account, and the open API approach for the RIA business was called out as an example. Joe Martinetto clearly noted that it was “ way too early” to talk about the plans for specific platforms. The statements about the future of Veo in this article are pure speculation, designed to drive clicks for this blog. In Bernie Clark’s comments he noted that “post integration we will be using the best technologies available for advisors.” If you’re interested in the facts, we recommend you watch the replay of the Business Update at: https://www.aboutschwab.com/schwabevents

Ok Ms Tiles please quantify, clarify and justify with substance all inaccuracies in the RIABiz article as inquiring minds need you to keep us in the fold...and not leave TD before the merger of unequals. Thank you in advance!
