Quiet Foundation, a New tastytrade Venture, to Offer Zero-Fee Investment Advisory ServiceQuiet Foundation, a new data science-driven subsidiary of tastytrade, is launching a fee-free investment advisory service for self-directed investors. Quiet Foundation will offer this free service built on a proprietary platform using Exploratory Portfolio Intelligence™. It's a combination of data science and math-driven research that provides unique risk analysis of any investment portfolio held at any firm. "The goal is to help clients with risk, asset allocation and existing product commitments and is for any account size," tastytrade's Co-CEO & President, Kristi Ross explained. Tom Sosnoff, tastytrade's Co-CEO, said, "Most of our clients have accounts at multiple firms and we believe the advice they receive from other firms is conflicted because there's a sales commission driving the recommendations. We also believe that many financial firms use their online brokerages primarily as a marketing engine to raise managed assets for their advisory services. It's a broken model. True objective advice needs to be fee free and data drivn in order to have real value." Quiet Foundation plans to change the way investment advice is disseminated. When individual investors use Quiet Foundation, investment advice and portfolio assessment will be free and no managed products, mutual funds or fee-based products will be sold. tastytrade will compensate Quiet Foundation for their costs as the company believes strongly in empowering the individual investor with know-how. The company plans to roll out the new advisory service in May. Sign-ups for the free service will begin in late February. The team behind tastytrade, Inc. is recognized as industry innovators for creating thinkorswim, for building tastytrade and disrupting financial media with the world's largest digital financial network, and for launching tastyworks, the popular online brokerage firm providing high frequency speed and low fees for the retail investor.
