In an industry known for espousing the virtues of diversification, one can't help but appreciate the irony of the outsized reliance on cash sweep revenue.  The tale still to be told is how that income will be replaced.  Shareholders are not often thought of as a patient bunch.

Nope, not an apparent reversal. This was mentioned as a possibility in an earlier message (from this summer to employees about looking at the future of our future real estate foot print. These decisions are being made on a number of different factors. Whatever your sources said were likely wrong or are getting the details wrong.

As a brokerage account customer of TD Ameritrade and now an account with Schwab, I cannot get information on the Schwab website that was previously available with Ameritrade. For instance, pre-market stock prices and graph are not avaiable. Hopefully, Schwab will have this feature available, shortly

Asset custodians are the central players in the RIA business and choosing one is the biggest decision most financial advisors will make to build their business. As the place where RIAs park their assets (the same way a captive broker would park assets at Merrill Lynch or UBS), custodians serve hundreds or thousands of these registered investment advisors and make big investments in technology and service on their clients' behalf.

This section features a series of articles under the “Asset Custody Project” label that cover these companies in a way that keeps advisors abreast of their progress – both with journalistic commentary and a common set of data so that advisors can easily compare them. The articles look at the strengths, weaknesses and niche capabilities of these companies.
