Well one new innovation that I like... Portfolio123 has a new marketplace that directly connects any quant with a strategy to subscribing investors. This will open the market and hopefully democratize the finance world. This will mean more work for model developers since there is more demand driven by non-accredited investors wanting sophistication and active management. It lowers fees as investors pay a token amount for strategy only and allows strategy developers to make lower liquidty models that massive funds could never trade.

Its called Ready-2-Go models and they only accept automated quant models. Worth looking at in my opinion.
