Truly incredible numbers here. I know the MB gives these guys a lot of business. What makes them stand out over something comparable, like Schwab?

Vanguard used to be cheap. That was the selling point. Those days are over relatively speaking.

Do you guys have any thoughts on what would happen to the markets if ETFs and MFs keep becoming more popular and the percentage of folks who follow passive index investing keeps increasing vs folks who actively trade individual stocks? If passive investors become >50% of the market, will it change the market dynamics?
