On this episode of Talking Wealth, Michael Batnick is joined by John Giovannucci to discuss a shift few in wealth management say out loud: has the advisor’s role drifted away from doing the actual work?

They debate whether that’s a feature or a flaw and what clients may be missing when the work itself starts to fade.
