Hi everyone, welcome to our first Dart Board of 2018! I hope your year is off to a great start. This year marks Dart’s 25th anniversary, and in each edition of Dart Board I’ll share a little bit of backstory on how the company and valuation industry have evolved since our founding in 1993. For this issue, I’d also like to recap Dart’s 2017 and share information on big compliance changes coming this year for AMCs.
