Good Custodian !

Like most everything in life, technology is a double-edged sword.  It can open new worlds for you or trap you in a circular hell.  That is especially true for financial advisors.

Since TDAmeritrade is custodian for the funds of my clients, I was pleased to see their technology offerings are the top-rated in the country.  49.4% of all respondents reported they were “very satisfied” with TDAmeritrade’s technology offerings, which easily out-paced runner-up Schwab at 39.8%.

Technology is not inexpensive, and I appreciate TDAmeritrade spending enough money to be the best.
