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.

Pros

Benefits of owning your own business with the support of a brokerage firm - Compliance, Marketing, Trading, Research Access, without having to push products

Cons

Running your own business is a big transition at first - especially coming from a brokerage firm. You have your own P&L, etc that you have to manage on top of everything else.
