It will be interesting to see how Envestnet recasts itself in support of expert fiduciary standing--the biggest challenge faced by the financial services industry. If it creates expert prudent process that (1) greatly simplifies the advisory services industry, (2) puts financial service back into the fs business and (3) establishes professional standing of the advisor; Envestnet becomes the only game in town.
