How Is Finance (Quietly) Changing?

The short explains that when access to something in an industry becomes free, the middleman role tends to be replaced by technology. It specifically points to robo-advisors as automation of the middleman layer in the investment management world. The message links robo-advisors to a broader pattern, comparing them to quant firms replacing discretionary managers and positioning both as part of the same shift. It argues that technology does not just make minor improvements in a stagnant industry. Instead, when technology touches a stagnant industry, it forces fundamental changes in how services are delivered and who provides them. The conclusion is that finance and financial advice are being structurally reshaped by automation rather than incremental adjustment.
