AdvicePay 2024 Fee-for-Service Industry Trend Report Shows Marked Increase in Fees Advisors Charge for Fee-Based Financial Planning

AdvicePay

In 2023, financial advisors saw an increase in the amount of fees they were able to charge clients who engaged them in fee-for-service financial planning, according to the 2024 Fee-for-Service Industry Trend Report from AdvicePay, the industry-leading platform for processing payments and overseeing compliance of fee-for-service financial planning. Last year, monthly recurring subscriptions for planning fees rose to $265 per client, up 6% from 2022. Quarterly recurring subscriptions averaged $968 per client, up 1.6%. One-time payments rose 6.7% to $1,578, according to AdvicePay’s proprietary data. Financial advisors continue to prefer subscription models. According to the report, 83% of all invoices sent through AdvicePay were for subscriptions, and 74% of all invoices were monthly recurring. Half of all advisors bill their clients monthly, while 22% bill quarterly. Advisors reported that clients remain receptive to fee-for-service financial planning because it aligns with their accustomed payment models for other subscription services, such as Netflix. This approach enables them to conveniently compensate their advisors using their cash flow while adding an extra layer of transparency. “We continue to find that there are more consumers looking for financial planning than there are financial planners to provide that fee-for-service offering,” said Alan Moore, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of AdvicePay. “What’s more, the retention rates are extremely high in an ongoing financial planning relationship, and the latest data show that the economics continue to be very favorable.” According to research issued by Cerulli Associates and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), there has been a notable shift, with 63% of investors expressing a willingness to pay for advice, up from the 38% reported in 2009. The research also highlights a heightened demand for personalized, comprehensive advice with a focus on formal financial plans rising from 38% to 54% over the past 14 years.

PathAI Announces Research Presentations at the 2024 AACR Annual Meeting

PathAI

PathAI, Inc., a leading AI-powered precision pathology company, today announced it will present research from its portfolio of oncology products at the AACR Annual Meeting on April 7-10, 2024, in San Diego, CA. The research demonstrates how machine learning models developed to characterize the tumor microenvironment (TME) from routine hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained whole slide images (WSIs) can be used to advance biomarker development and precision medicine strategies. The presentations include new research leveraging PathAI’s pan-tumor foundation models and its commercially available product, PathExplore 1, to identify key histologic features associated with molecular signatures and patient response to therapy. Highlights: Researchers deployed PathExplore on HNSCC and NSCLC samples to characterize the cell and tissue composition of the tumor microenvironment, as well as compute immune phenotypes directly from H&E WSI. (Poster #905 ) Researchers from Incendia Therapeutics developed a continuous scoring method for Discoidin Domain Receptor 1 (DDR1), which revealed widespread immune exclusion in tumors based on the spatial distribution of lymphocytes, CD8+ T cells, and CD45+ immune cells from H&E and mIF images. DDR1 is highly expressed in epithelial cancers and has been implicated in tumor growth, invasion, and lack of response to therapy. The immune exclusion score correlates with DDR1 mRNA and protein expression. The study provides additional insight into the role of DDR1 in human cancers and may be useful in selecting indications and stratifying patients for DDR1-targeted therapies. (Poster #2916 ) Using unsupervised learning driven by PathExplore’s features and a novel collagen fiber detection imaging technology, researchers discovered three distinct phenotypes of cancer associated stroma (CAS) that had distinct patterns of association with survival and gene expression signatures. Two of them were enriched in collagen fiber density as well as in density of fibroblasts, while the third phenotype had the highest density of immune cells, providing a categorization of different types of CAS-tumor interaction that may be useful for patient stratification. (Poster #4912 ) Using AI-powered models from PathAI, Foundation Medicine researchers investigated digital pathology TME features of immunotherapy outcomes among NSCLC patients within a real-world dataset from the Flatiron Health-Foundation Medicine Clinico-Genomic Database. These results indicate that the composition of the TME assessed via digital pathology may have utility in identifying NSCLC patients who will respond to first-line immune checkpoint inhibitors beyond the established immunotherapy biomarkers. (Poster #4969 ) In collaboration with EMD Serono, AI-powered TME models from PathAI were used to analyze H&E WSI of NSCLC from a randomized Phase 3 trial directly comparing two immunotherapies. Researchers compared cell abundance features with gene expression data from the same samples and found that immune and stromal cell abundance features were associated with expression of genes in relevant cellular pathways, confirming the biological relevance of our cellular features. In analyzing the features alongside the clinical data from the retrospective study, researchers identified candidate prognostic immunotherapy biomarkers. (Poster #6179 ) Researchers from Incendia Therapeutics illustrated that morphologic features derived from H&E images using PathExplore can be effective predictors of CD8-defined immune exclusion, providing an option for patient stratification by immune phenotype using widely available H&E images. The features and direction of association align with prior knowledge of the mechanism or manifestations of immune exclusion or infiltration in the TME, including the relative density of lymphocytes in tumor and stroma. (Poster #7392 ) PathAI’s pan-tumor foundation models were used to identify tissue regions and cell types on H&E WSI to quantify tumor purity across multiple tumor types. Model-derived tumor purity estimates were compared to three orthogonal molecular methods of purity and found to correlate across disease indications. These results provide evidence of how AI can improve the efficiency of molecular testing and enhance precision diagnostic strategies. (Poster #7402 ) Follow PathAI on LinkedIn and X for more updates from #AACR24 and visit us in person at booth #1549. 1 PathExplore is For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. About PathAI PathAI is the only AI-focused technology company to provide comprehensive precision pathology solutions from wet lab services to algorithm deployment for clinical trials and laboratory use. Rigorously trained and validated with data from more than 15 million annotations, its AI-powered models can be leveraged to optimize the analysis of pathology samples to improve efficiency and accuracy of pathology interpretation, as well as to better gauge therapeutic efficacy and accelerate drug development for complex diseases.

Analyst Crypto Jebb Urges To Buy Ethereum Right Now! Cardano Left in the Dust As KangaMoon Bull Run Continues!

Kangamoon

Renowned analyst Crypto Jebb has been talking about Ethereum (ETH) a lot lately and people are starting to listen. Meanwhile, Cardano (ADA) has been outshined by many altcoins like KangaMoon (KANG), which is on a massive bull run. This Stage 5 presale star has already provided early buyers with 291% ROI, causing many experts to hint at a $0.5 price in 2024. Crypto Jebb: Ethereum Price Will Moonshot Recently, Ethereum (ETH) has been on an uptrend. Over the past 30 days, the Ethereum price soared from $3,409 to $3,557. During that time, its market cap increased from $410B to $427B. According to crypto analyst Crypto Jebb, this bullish trend will continue for the Ethereum crypto. He forecasts a potential 10x on ETH within the next ten years. This altcoin's technical analysis also shows a bullish future. For instance, Ethereum is now trading above its 100— and 200-day EMAs. Additionally, 25 technical indicators are showing green for ETH. As a result, experts have made a bullish Ethereum price prediction. They foresee this altcoin's price hitting $4,489 within Q2 of 2024. Cardano (ADA): Trading in the Red On the other hand, Cardano (ADA) has been trading in the red. According to CoinMarketCap data, the Cardano price sank from $0.73 to $0.63 over the past month. In that period, its market cap also fell from $26B to $22.46B. However, the technical analysis for this altcoin paints a different picture. Notably, the Cardano coin is trading above its 100 and 200-day EMAs. Additionally, this altcoin now has over 20 technical indicators showing bullish signs. Due to all these reasons, market analysts have made a bullish Cardano price prediction - a rise to $0.86 within Q2 of 2024. KangaMoon (KANG): Becoming One of the Altcoins To Watch While Ethereum and Cardano experience ups and downs, KangaMoon (KANG) has surfaced as an unexpected contender. This presale star has already soared by 291%, with 20,000 registered community members. Moreover, KangaMoon has raised over $3.9M and projects reaching $5M before April 2024 ends. Essentially, KangaMoon will develop a Play-to-Earn (P2E) game in which KANG will serve as the main in-game currency. With KANG, you can buy character upgrades or in-game items. Additionally, KANG holders gain exclusive access to challenges for extra tokens or in-game items. Another impressive part of KangaMoon is its dedication to cultivating an active community. As an example, users can earn free KANG tokens by being engaged members before the official launch. This has caused a significant surge in social media interaction as traders eagerly like, share and retweet KangaMoon's content. All these factors have helped KangaMoon obtain over 5,800 holders. Currently, one KANG token costs just $0.0196 - a 291% rise from its starting price of $0.005. Experts remain bullish as they forecast a rise to $0.5 once a Tier-1 CEX lists this altcoin in Q2 of 2024. This price prediction seems plausible with ties to the P2E gaming market, which will reach $885M by 2028. Will KangaMoon Rise Faster than Ethereum and Cardano? With its low $14M market cap, KangaMoon could outshine Ethereum and Cardano. This means it needs fewer new funds so the price can skyrocket faster.

What's next for Bitcoin? ETC Group CEO breaks down ETFs & market trends

HANetf Holdings Limited

ETC Group CEO Tim Bevan discusses the recent volatility in Bitcoin prices, attributing it to macroeconomic factors and specific market events. In an interview with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion, Bevan noted the unexpected strength in the US economy indicated by recent jobs data, which has led to revised expectations for interest rate cuts, impacting risk assets like Bitcoin. The movement of $2 billion worth of confiscated Bitcoin related to the Silk Road case onto a Coinbase account by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) has also contributed to the market's instability. Despite these short-term drivers, Bevan views the fluctuations as part of Bitcoin's usual trading range. Regarding the likelihood of an Ethereum ETF in the US, Bevan indicated a negative shift, citing the SEC's increased efforts to classify Ethereum as a security. This classification, driven by interactions with the Ethereum Foundation and the transition to proof of stake, marks a significant regulatory change and dampens the immediate prospects for an Ethereum ETF. Nonetheless, Bevan remains hopeful for developments later in the year. Bevan also commented on the London Stock Exchange's (LSE) decision to launch a segment for crypto ETPs, viewing it as a positive step for market legitimization. However, he critiqued the exclusion of retail investors from this segment, suggesting it could limit market liquidity and appeal. Lastly, Bevan discussed the upcoming Bitcoin halving event, a reduction in the reward for mining Bitcoin, anticipated around 20 April. He stressed that while the halving itself may not instantly affect prices, its long-term impact on supply could be significant.
