Technology in the industry currently is being created for accredited investors to have access to online platforms and related services to create a greater transaction flow, more readily available transparency, and, eventually, liquidity.
It’s an exciting time for an advisor to add value to their service offering. The deal flow in this space is pretty exciting…the primary categories of FinTech serving niches in various ways are:
Platform Tech that enables reporting and accountability in the Financial Planning Sector
Access to asset classes that once required a seven-figure investment
