The executive's sudden announcement raises questions about whether the company’s retail brokerage platform will compete with advisors.

The exit wasn’t due to any “one thing,” Tim Hockey said.

Analysts and advisors expressed surprise at the announcement.

Dynasty CEO Shirl Penney sees it as an option down the road.

With 7 million accounts and more than $400 billion in assets, Karl Roessner’s firm can be selective as it expands into wealth management.

More than one-third of the $1 billion new assets on the digital advice platform are from new clients.

The brokerage may pay about $2 billion for the additional advisory clients, according to reports.

Summit Brokerage Services wasn’t feeding the notifications into the transactions blotter while its ownership went into flux, according to the regulator.

The custodial bank says it has reimbursed the affected clients with interest.

Keeping up with all the options isn’t always easy, but it’s important, according to the custodian's vice president of digital strategy.

Six months in, the wirehouse is taking an unusually hands-on approach in its first foray into the RIA space.

Though the fees are controversial, there may not be an easy way for the industry to abandon them.

After a reboot in its tech strategy, the RIA custodian is “redesigning every aspect of the advisor experience,” it says.

It’s a tool, not a business model said the CEO at LINC conference; competitors beg to differ.

Warning: Advisory firm buyers may be purchasing a depleted oil well.

With transparency about conflicts on the rise even as it varies by firm, critics question whether clients really understand complicated technical documents.

The competition is clear. The conflicts are just beginning.

The decision comes a decade after the collapse of the infamous scheme.

Lisa Dolly will give way to COO Jim Crowley later this year, parent firm BNY Mellon says.

One custodian is testing the technology in its marketing efforts and anticipates its advisors may — eventually — decide to follow.
