Tenacious is the first word that comes to mind when I read about Sallie. That spirit needs to be conveyed to the Envestnet clients. My biased opinion is that the firm needs to add some human advisors too.

$4800 average account value. To me that seems like consumers are "try before you buy" mentality or else these are emerging savers. The latter, sadly tend to cash out their accounts as soon as an expensive life event happens (new HVAC, medical bills). This business to me sounds like one that's hoping for a quick flip & cash out.
