Unfortunately it is easier for regulators and RIAs to say “no”. A further examination could prove that our “no” are enriching ETF providers and DFA and missing good opportunities provided by other firms. Endowment managers have known this for years.

Another example of the "capture theory" at work as the SEC does the bidding of the asset management industry, a manufacturing and distribution complex. What the public at-large needs, most particularly 401(k) investors, is impartial advice. Plan sponsors beware!

Jeff and Jamie, If I were on the Harvard debate team, these are the exact summations of the two sides I'd give. 1.) Good in theory for sure. 2.) Buyer be extra wary. Thanks, Brooke
