The hybrid digital advice platform offers wealth managers a means of breaking the trade-off between personalization and scale. Building the platform in-house offers large incumbents advantages from a brand and control standpoint.
Key research questions

- What are the advantages of building versus partnering for incumbents?
- Why is tiering of pricing and advisory platforms critical to success?

What opportunities does the emergence of truly hybridized advice present for vendors and wealth management incumbents alike?
