Pros

Highly motivated firm. Focused business approach. Easy model for potential Clients to understand (flat fees). Growing firm.

Cons

In a business sector that is under attack and under severe pricing pressure. Tries to make their investment process unique when essentially it is the exact same as all the traditional Wire Houses.
