That's a real awkward sentence, hope it makes sense. Rob Carrick shared it: https://twitter.com/rcarrick/status/601484489743802368<br /><br />Just finished reading your analysis on RRIF returns.

I think I have it figured out, but it took some noodling. :-) Enjoy your weekend.genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05608927986297939720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-87391190994116343902015-05-22T09:01:25.452-04:002015-05-22T09:01:25.452-04:00The worst outcome for investors is if the big bank...The worst outcome for investors is if the big banks and investment firms start to influence the upstart robo-advisor model, either through acquisition or by nudging them to offer their own products.
