As custodians in the independent advisor market undergo mergers and consolidations, advisors are increasingly finding it challenging to secure a stable home for their clients' assets. Many advisors are opting to use multiple custodians to mitigate risk and increase efficiency, akin to diversification in investment portfolios.
