  • Quotes

    [07:18] - “The basis of all great relationships, at least I believe, are founded on trust. And being able to help the advisor understand the investor in at a more meaningful level is something that we think will set the relationship off to a good start and help the investor better respond to the coaching that they are receiving from all these great advisors that we work with.” - Eric Clarke

    [17:29] - “Obviously, as an investor, every time you can have that long-term perspective and not panic and stick with your strategy, you’re rewarded for that. And I'm a believer that whether that's a strategic or tactical or even an alternative strategy, if you stick with it over the long-term, odds are you'll be rewarded for that and it'll be worth it.” - Eric Clarke

    [28:49] - “What we're focused on here in 2022 is all about connecting that experience through technology integrations, through seamless user experience, helping our advisors connect with their client in a more meaningful, seamless way and using technology to efficiently make that happen.” - Eric Clarke
