RIA Custodians

The questions no one has addressed which will trigger wide ranging innovation are:

1. Given custodians can not provide direct support of expert fiduciary standing as in doing so would be deemed prescriptive thus triggering fiduciary liability, how does the three major custodians support fiduciary standing?

2. Given the custodians have no control over brokers who use their services, is there a way the custodians can support fiduciary duty?

3. How do brokers find large scale institutionalized support for fiduciary standing if broker/dealers will not acknowledge or support fiduciary responsibility and custodians do not wish to assume the liability? Shouldn’t there be an objective assessment of fiduciary duty for RIAs from which custodians and brokers can evaluate the best advisors they can fold in their practices? Wouldn’t this shift the balance of power to RIAs where the advisor gains control over their value proposition, cost structure, margins, professional standing, practice valuation?

4. Is there any credible RIA clients of custodians that afford scale and professional standing? Could those firms be named?
