Four years after Vanguard introduced Personal Advisor Services — which combines robo-investing and some access to its own financial professionals — the firm says it is moving to give all financial advisors the ability to use its investment modeling and related technology.

We're continually looking for new ways to enable advisors and expand our existing suite of services to our financial advisor clients,” the company said in a statement. “We often receive requests for access to methodologies that have been perfected in our Personal Advisor Services offering, and we're in the beginning stages of building out those capabilities in order to help advisors improve end investor outcomes.”
