  • Advisor Innovations: Schwab’s Bernie Clark and Rick Wurster on the “Unprecedented” Migration of Assets From TD Ameritrade, and What Advisors Can Expect From the Dominant Custodian Going Forward

    Advisor Innovations: Schwab’s Bernie Clark and Rick Wurster on the “Unprecedented” Migration of Assets From TD Ameritrade, and What Advisors Can Expect From the Dominant Custodian Going Forward
    Oct 27 2023
    After a summer break, the Advisor Innovations podcast is back. In the new season’s inaugural episode, David Armstrong, director of editorial strategies at Informa Connect’s Wealth Management group, is joined by Rick Wurster, the president of the Charles Schwab Corporation, along with Bernie Clark, managing director and head of advisor services. The conversation was held on the eve of the firm’s Impact conference, and weeks after the final Labor Day marker which concluded the conversion of $1.3 trillion in TD Ameritrade assets, including those from some 7,000 advisory firms, into Charles Schwab, making the firm the dominant custodian to independent advisors. Rick and Bernie talk about how they viewed the integration as a challenge to bring together the “best of both worlds,” including adding the prized trading features of TDAI’s trading technology into Schwab’s Advisor Services platform, while integrating Schwab’s larger breadth of advisor services in banking and support for HNW clients, a growing focus of the firm’s advisor support services. Specifically, Rick and Bernie discuss: How the competitive landscape has evolved since Schwab made its announcement four years ago, including the arrival of Goldman Sachs and Envestnet as custodial competitors.How M&A in the RIA industry may be down, but “joins,” or advisors joining an independent advisory firm under different employment models, are on the rise. What advisors need to understand about Schwab’s cash-sweep accounts.How more sophisticated banking services, like its recently unveiled digital securities-based lending platform, are helping its advisor clients keep more assets inside the firm. What motivated Schwab’s significant investment in Dynasty Financial Partners, and how they are open to making more investments in firms or platforms that help grow the RIA channel – including possible opportunities in financing next-generation advisors.

  • Advisor Innovations Podcast: Tim Maurer on Personal Finance is More Personal Than Finance

    Advisor Innovations Podcast: Tim Maurer on Personal Finance is More Personal Than Finance
    May 25 2023

    Tim Maurer is a financial advisor and author who most recently took on the role of Chief Advisory Officer at SignatureFD. In this episode of the Advisor Innovations podcast, Maurer talks with David Armstrong about what, exactly, a Chief Advisory Officer does, and how he sees the lessons of life planning and qualitative financial advice being tactically implemented in advisor-client relationships.

    Tim discusses:

    • Why he made the move to fast-growing RIA Signature FD after years at the larger Buckingham Wealth Management.
    • How he sees his role as a Chief Advisory Officer, and what it means to sit at the nexus between advisor development and the client experience.
    • How he’s attempting to embed the lessons from behavioral finance and psychology into the relationship between clients and advisors.
    • Why advisors who focus more on the qualitative side of financial planning, as opposed to the quantitative, are more successful.
    • How he makes a distinction between advisors as financial therapists, and financial coaches: Most advisors should follow the coaching model.
    • What he’s learned from pioneers in the “life planning” field like Kinder Institute’s George Kinder and Money Quotient’s Carol Anderson
    • Most importantly, how the sometimes softer side of financial planning is being coded into advisory firm’s workflows and processes in a scalable, efficient way.

  • Advisor Innovations Podcast: Dumb indexes, “Smart” Beta and Intelligent Design—How Larry Swedroe Helps Advisors Make Sense of Investments

    Advisor Innovations Podcast: Dumb indexes, “Smart” Beta and Intelligent Design—How Larry Swedroe Helps Advisors Make Sense of Investments
    May 4 2023

    For many advisors, Larry Swedroe needs no introduction; He’s the author of numerous books on investing, a frequent columnist in advisor publications, including Wealthmanagement.com, and the Head of Financial and Economic Research at Buckingham Strategic Wealth, one of the largest RIAs in the country.

    He’s also active on social media where he can be found in sometimes heated debates with other industry luminaries on the merits of different compensation models for financial advisors, the dire prospects for most active stock managers, and what the latest academic research on investment management and the markets tells advisors about how to build better portfolios.

    In this edition of the Advisor Innovations podcast, Swedroe describes how he views his work, why it is getting harder for active managers to generate alpha in the publicly traded markets, and where he sees opportunities for income in the increasingly accessible private markets.

    Swedroe discusses:

    • Why, in the face of growing evidence of subpar long-term returns, retail investors and active stock managers are proliferating.
    • How a three-year track record tells investors almost nothing about a manager’s long-term prospects.
    • Why “dumb indexes” don’t solve the investors’ problem, and why “smart beta” is an oxymoron and how investors are best served by “intelligently designed” portfolios.
    • How some research shows stock turnover and management fees are the two variables that can determine active managers’ outcomes.
    • Why easier access to private markets for investors, including interval funds, are a good option for some investors—himself included.
    • Where he is placing some of his investments now.
