San Diego Advisor Preaches The 'Outsourced Chief Investment Officer' Model Hot

Harry Rady is looking to sell his asset management firm so he can feed his institutional perspective through an existing network of retail advisors.

It's an interesting twist on the usual way this story plays out, in which an asset manager buys a brokerage firm to get a captive distribution channel.
