Custody is where it’s at. Investments are commodities and poorly performing, service is hard to differentiate, personal relationships are chancy or set in stone, tech is pretty much either a commodity or easily matched — that leaves custody, which can still be a differentiation.
Whether it’s Big Box custodians or boutiques, an RIA firm can offer a truly custom configuration built around client’s immediate needs — today. We call it bespoke or custom custodial services.
