The Retail Retirement Wars
Although no one is paying much attention to it just yet, there is a battle brewing in financial services to create a next-generation retirement vehicle.
And because the winner stands to inherit the power to redirect $14 trillion dollars of mutual fund assets and disrupt long-standing retirement asset monopolies, this battle is likely to go down as the largest industry duel in the history of commerce – dwarfing the cola and software wars by trillions.

On the future of the securities and commodity exchange industry
The securities and commodity exchange industry consists of establishments engaged in facilitating physical or electronic marketplaces for the buying and selling of stocks, stock options, bonds, and commodity contracts. As more open floor exchanges establish online trading platforms, fewer physical securities and commodity exchange locations are necessary.
The number of security and commodity exchange establishments in the United States fell from 312 in 2007 to 189 in 2016, a 36.0% drop. Additionally, fewer employees are needed at each location. The number of securities and commodity exchange workers fell by 42.9% over the past 10 years, more than nearly any other industry.
