* Southall, Brook, “Apex nabs Jon Patullo from ‘Schwabtitrade’ to ‘raise the bar’ and make his new firm’s RIA system as ‘frictionless’ as the old one,” RIA Biz, 10/10/22.

Why Consider a New Custodian?

Reduce friction. Increase transparency. Rinse and repeat. Modern investors want a progressively more seamless and empowering experience in line with other services in their lives.

There’s only so much you can do to work around or patch up your dated custodial technology. At some point, you need actual innovation to help you unlock the future of your business.

As older clients draw down assets (and AUM), outdated processes can limit an RIA’s ability to adapt and create scale by efficiently reaching and serving a wider audience.

As clients pass down their wealth, the next generation arrives with new expectations for advisors and the technology they use, bringing an immediate retention challenge.

Your custodian is only as loyal as their business model. Legacy custodians are deeply invested in their retail services that are often in direct competition with their RIA clients.

The number of clients an advisor can serve is capped by traditional RIA tools and processes.
