Bettinger sees it coming, Indeed the fastest route to enhanced performance is elevating the weakest link. When you look at Wall Street still fighting the best interest of the investing public, you see vulnerability.

Savant, CapTrust, Edelman, and a relatively small number of Mega RIAs. in the hundreds with scale and technical acumen will win the day. SCW
