The Changing Support Environment
> Rapid technological advancement and standardization has enabled the development of smaller, more flexible service providers to the wealth management industry
> The emergence of smaller service providers has further commoditized many of the support components, eroding many of the traditional barriers to entry that existed only a few years ago
> It is now possible to integrate the various operational support components required to run a wealth management firm into a comprehensive, cost-effective solution
