What believers are saying

  • The recent $169M Series E funding round indicates strong investor confidence and provides substantial capital for further innovation and expansion.
  • Collaborations with leading providers like Orion Advisor Solutions and Kwanti enhance Altruist's platform capabilities, making it more attractive to RIAs.
  • Acquiring Shareholders Service Group expands Altruist's service offerings and client base, positioning it to compete with industry giants like Schwab and Fidelity.

What critics are saying

  • The competitive landscape in the RIA market includes established players like Schwab and Fidelity, which could challenge Altruist's growth and market penetration.
  • Rapid expansion and multiple integrations may lead to operational complexities and potential service disruptions.

What makes Truist unique
