In short, we built Morningstar Advisor Workstation specifically for registered representatives with the intent to deliver independent research, high-quality investment data and portfolio analytics, and “point of sale” reporting capabilities that are compliant (e.g. FINRA reviewed reports), easy to understand, and ultimately help financial advisors communicate the value of their investment advice.

There's nothing quite like New York City at the holidays, so it was my pleasure to join our team and our customers at the final Morningstar thought leadership forum of 2018. If you weren't able to attend, @Lakman summarized the key take-aways here.

Still as a relative newbie (I've been with Morningstar 18 months), this was my first Forum in which I was presenting. Here were my aha moments.
