At the recent Morningstar Conference in Chicago I ran into a number of attendees that simply refused to be called “wholesalers”.
In fact some were downright insistent that the moniker did not belong to them – especially since their RIA clients apparently did not care for the word, according to some.
As I looked through the various business cards collected I saw all versions of alternate terminology.
And now the ‘What should we call wholesalers when we don’t want to call them wholesalers?” riddle has been solved.
