Clearinghouses/custodians

Custodied assets from advisers are shifting in unexpected ways, as Financial Planning’s exclusive research shows.

Nontraditional offerings are becoming critical for differentiation, says a new Schwab study. Advisers will also need to provide more services for the same fee, says Bernie Clark, head of Schwab Adviser Services.

C.L. King & Associates argued it did not break any FINRA rules.

Which firms showed “meaningful progress” in improving client experience? And which one slipped?

The firm’s chief received a nearly 60% raise in 2016, dwarfing the compensation of several rivals.

The 17-year industry veteran says organic growth is the biggest issue facing advisory firms.

The move comes as a surprise; "active search" for a replacement underway.

The expansion of hybrid platforms and bank digital advice promises big changes and fierce competition in automated wealth management.

Some advisers expressed concern about the custodian now competing for the same clients they were courting with the institutional version of Schwab's robo.

Arbitrators also rejected the former adviser's counterclaims for $51 million in damages.
