Who is the most disruptive person in wealth management? It's not a robo founder. Or an index ETF CEO. Or a blogger. In fact, it is Shirl Penney, the founder of Dynasty Financial Partners, whose platform for breakaway brokers who want to become independent advisors and own their own firms has now amassed almost $40 billion in client assets over the last ten years. Shirl has changed the way wirehouse brokers and other captive financial advisors at large firms have looked at independence. He's built a machine that began under the radar but is now on the verge of pushing the incumbents into allowing a degree of entrepreneurial freedom that would have previously been unthinkable.Josh and Shirl first met during the Investment News 40 Under 40 Summit the year they both made the list. Check out this video to learn about the biggest trends in the wealth management and financial advisor business, and how Shirl is upending some of the most bedrock conventions within the industry by working harder and smarter than his competitors.

“This is going to be life and death for many advisors. Legacy firms with massive overhead and fixed high fee AUM structures will struggle to compete with the coming change in fee structures. Firms that are able to move to a leaner and more tech based platform will outperform as they make up for lost revenue with fatter margins.”Cullen Roche who blogs at Pragmatic Capitalism has been a mainstay of the financial blogsophere for over ten years now.

Josh here - my friend Perth Tolle has been hustling and grinding harder than almost anyone I know on The Street these past few years - first, with the launch of her proprietary Life + Liberty Indexes and now with the first ETF based on her ideas. Perth believes, as I do, that countries with a strong rule of law and respect for both civil and human rights will make for better long term investments than countries that are lacking in these areas. The long term performance of the US, UK and Australian stock markets prove this. Where there is fairness and happiness, there is money to be made. Where there is repression and corruption, there is money to be lost. Perth's ETF is an index fund holding emerging markets stocks but it weights the portfolio based on her quantitative ranking of each EM country, rather than based on the companies' market capitalization, as most index funds are currently invested. Before taking any investment action or trading any fund, everyone should read the prospectus and understand the potential risks.

Barry Ritholtz and Downtown Josh Brown welcome storied Wall Street veteran Jeff Saut, formerly of Raymond James, to The Compound. Jeff talks about how he uses both fundamentals and technical analysis in his investment selection process, and why he doesn't pay as much attention to the economy as he does to earnings and investment ideas from trusted sources. Jeff spent the last 21 years as a chief strategist for Raymond James and has now gone independent, with both asset management and a new research product coming soon. In this conversation, he relays the number one lesson he's learned in almost fifty years in the investment business - the secret to longevity on Wall Street. 1-click play or subscribe on your favorite podcast app Subscribe to the mini podcast on iTunes or Spotify  Enable our Alexa skill here - "Alexa, play the Compound show!" Talk to us about your portfolio or financial plan here: http://ritholtzwealth.com/ Obviously nothing on this channel should be considered as personalized financial advice just for you or a solicitation to buy or sell any securities.
