“We still don’t see a problem with investment consultants or OCIOs receiving benefits from the PPP, the amount of which would pale in comparison with the long-term amounts of income tax the government ultimately receives from their activities,” Chris Cutler, founder of search firm Manager Analysis Services, writes in an email.
