Many advisors are pursuing niche specialties or moving to a high-end boutique model of service. By doing so, they hope to be able to focus on providing specialized services to a smaller fraction of investors and capture more of their advisory needs in-house.

Offering a more integrated suite of advisory services can also bring higher margins from clients willing to pay more for a seamless experience.
