Lesson #3: Own Your Competitive Advantage
When Schwab first launched his discount stock brokerage company, he made it a habit to outsource his back office information technology to other companies. At the time, that was the standard practice throughout the industry.

Diversified are you really?

Another Reason REI Beats Paper Assets
In this article I want to discuss something called the “Preferred List”. This is a list of the funds that a brokerage recommends to their clients. It is the selection of funds that their research has determined are the absolute best in the industry for the firm’s clients. Sadly, in a lot of cases this list is made up of fund families that paid some sort of extra consideration to be on the list. It’s also interesting how often the firm’s proprietary funds end up on that list. Hence, if you are a client of Merrill Lynch, let’s say, you will typically see quite a few Merrill Lynch funds on that list. This is a simple case of allowing how much you get paid to drive your decisions on what funds to recommend.
