I’m not sure that the tuck-in will attract the numbers the article envisions. After all, I believe many break aways do so for the sure freedom of no longer having to deal with policies from on high. I have got to imagine that the real growth is, and will continue to be, in groups breaking away to set up their own independent RIA. Doug Michie www.michielawfirm.com
