As an attendee there was one other aspect of the conference that encouraged me: the new practice of bringing the RIA and clearing clients together into one meeting.

I have worked with organizations that had relationships with both sides of Fidelity, and it always perplexed me why they were always kept so separate – to the point that there were times one side would not even admit the other side existed.

There is a clear trend toward the hybrid office. I most recently ran a firm that targeted those firms as clients. Fido’s commitment to bring the two sides of their organization together to better serve those firms is a welcome trend.
