Of interest: • Managed Account Assets have grown at an 11% compound annual growth (AGR) rate since 2000 and are projected to grow at 13% AGR over the next four years. • Rep-driven programs (ie., rep as advisor, rep as portfolio manager) account for 39% of managed account assets. Mutual fund advisory assets make up 29% market share. continued on page 2 Procedures to follow when delivering a financial plan With the tremendous growth in the utilization of our financial planning tools, here is a review of the procedures to follow: 1. Make sure that you always print a “Final” version of the report. Even if you have presented the plan to the client utilizing the Presentation Mode on the system, the client needs to receive a copy of the information (plan) you presented. Printing the Final Report is also the mechanism that will give you credit for your plan. UMA gets upgrade More investment manager choice, reduced fees On March 14, the Unified Managed Account (UMA) was upgraded to allow you to choose among a variety of approved funds or managers. Similar to FundAdvisor, when creating a proposal, you are presented with drop-down menus for each asset class in the model. A default manager is displayed, with alternate managers or funds available by clicking on the drop down. Depending on the asset class and model chosen, available investments may include mutual funds, ETFs or a set of equities managed by separate account managers. In conjunction with this change, administrative fees for the UMA were reduced from 62 basis points to 55. This reduction applies to all UMA accounts, both existing and new, that are custodied with USBI. This does not apply to accounts custodied at Fidelity.
