Quotes
[14:22] - "When you change the nature of the portfolio advice, it has implications on the whole value chain of advice. Traditional systems have always considered investments a static entity within this whole value chain and all its planning elements. For good investment outcomes to align with those goals, the portfolios and the portfolio risks are more dynamic." ~ Deep Srivastav
[25:19] - "Tax strategies are easy to overlook, but they make a big difference, whether tax loss harvesting, asset location, or withdrawal sequencing. Some things that aren't always part of a plan can kick that plan into the next level of sophistication." ~ Martin Cowley
[25:43] - "We see a lot of value in bridging the gap between planning and execution. That's where some underlying algorithms drive the execution side of things. Much of the work we've done at LifeYield in conjunction with GOE® and AdvisorEngine has been focused on bringing that consistency to the process." ~ Martin Cowley
