Quotes
[13:49] - “Now, where do I actually think [Direct Indexing] is going, and what we have seen at Party Pris, in terms of the third act of what I’ll call the great wave in direct indexing and personalization. It’s really focusing more on holistic, related solutions than being individualistic…and I think that’s where the concept or idea of Unified Managed Householding is really starting to come into focus for a lot of advisors” ~ Joe Smith
[18:55] - “I think there’s really two major challenges [to implementing Unified Managed Householding]. One, I think, is more technology related and two is more education related. When we talk about Unified Managed Householding, it requires a lot of input from the client [and] it requires a lot of input from the advisor and getting all of that information in one centralized place to make the right decisions [is critical].” ~ Joe Smith
