6 THE MOVE TO FIDUCIARY STANDARD 6 Not
7 THE MOVE TO FIDUCIARY STANDARD The Department of Labor s (DOL) new fiduciary rules require Financial Advisors and financial institutions to prioritize the best interest of the client ahead of their own. These new rules cause a fundamental shift to the current business model. Firms and Financial Advisors will become fiduciaries on April 10, If opting to use the Best Interest Contract Exemption, the mechanics of the rule will be in effect January 1, The Department of Labor s long-awaited final fiduciary rule ensures that putting clients first is no longer a marketing slogan, it s the law, Tom Perez Secretary of Labor 7 Not
8 THE MOVE TO A FIDUCIARY STANDARD There will be winners and losers in this intentional shift to a model of transparency and trust-building in what is considered to be one of the greatest changes in the Financial Services Industry. $10B TO $31B $66B TO $76B $17B The cost to comply with the final rule and exemptions over 10 years.

12 BEST INTEREST CONTRACT EXEMPTION ( BICE ) The Best Interest Contract Exemption enables Financial Advisors and the Firms to collect commissions and other 3rd party payment. The Financial Advisor and Firm must follow the Impartial Code of Conduct The firm will warrant that an infrastructure is set up to mitigate Material Conflicts of Interest Must provide proper Disclosures to clients Permits the client to make an informed decision Allows for proprietary products and third-party payments 12 Not

16 Your brand and reputation are directly tied to the experience you provide. Firms that focus on their most important assets (clients) will win in the marketplace. HOW TO WIN 16 Not
17 IMPACT ON CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE 17 Not
18 THE BENEFITS OF CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE (CX) ARE CLEAR 25% 20% 20% 15% Revenue Growth Improved Customer Satisfaction Improved Cost to Serve Improved Employee Engagement Harvard Business Review 18 Not
19 CX leads to strong financial performance From 2007 to 2014 CX leaders cumulative returns were 49% greater than the S&P 500 Index, while CX laggards underperformed the index by 162%. (FORRESTER) 19 Not
20 CRITICAL CX DIMENSIONS The following dimensions are required for CX success: EASE It is simple for customers to derive value from experiences. Experiences are apparent, accessible, effortless and uncomplicated. CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE RELEVANCE Solutions and Services add value through utility and by meeting basic customer needs all at the right time and the right place. ORCHESTRATION Specific interactions and touch points are designed and delivered as an end-to-end experience versus a discrete transaction. EMPATHY Experiences are based on an in-depth understanding of customer behaviors, feelings, and motivations. 20 Not
21 EXPECTATIONS ARE EVOLVING Three factors are creating the next battleground for differentiation: 1. Transparency is mandating authenticity 2. Experience is impacted by the larger community 3. Meaningful experiences are meeting higher-level needs and all at an unprecedented pace. 21 Not
22 THE NEW FRONTIER Great customer experience today requires four components that are the benchmark by which every experience should be evaluated. But the great customer experience of tomorrow moves your customer relationships from commercial to human. 22 Not
23 CLIENT EXPERIENCE DRIVERS 23 Not
24 LEGISLATION DRIVEN CX EXAMPLES How legislation driven mandates can negatively impact the customer experience Takata Airbag Recall EMV/Chip & Pin Implementation 24 Not
25 25 Not Are you prepared to handle the client experience as part of your DOL implementation plan?
26 EXPERIENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS BY AUDIENCE 26 Not
27 At stake: Ability to provide services for Retirement Accounts Liability: You don t comply with the DOL s changes and become subject to additional liability At stake: Advisor retention and recruiting Liability: The Advisor perceives that the firm is primarily focused on the regulator and not on Advisors to help them implement the changes At stake: Trusted and loyal client relationships Liability: Your high-value clients question your trusted relationship and fees they ve paid because the changes are poorly communicated Timing: April 2017 Timing: Today Timing: Tomorrow 27 Not
28 THE QUESTIONS YOUR FIRM SHOULD BE ASKING How should my firm s governance structure be modeled? When is each disclosure required and where do I need to update it? What risks will my firm assume? What policies and procedures need to be created or updated? 28 Not
29 THE QUESTIONS YOUR FIRM SHOULD BE ASKING Am I confident that my Advisors know how to have a comfortable and confident conversation with clients/ prospects about the new fiduciary standards? How will my Advisors be personally impacted in their practice management? How do I best equip my Advisors so that they have the resources they need to navigate difficult conversations? 29 Not What training considerations do I need to implement for new Advisors?
30 THE QUESTIONS YOUR FIRM SHOULD BE ASKING Where else are our clients hearing about the DOL Fiduciary standard ruling? How do I ensure they believe our firm is being transparent? How do I make sure that our clients understand we have always worked to achieve their life goals? How do I communicate the unique value that they receive from working with us so they remain loyal? What are all of the touch points in a typical client journey that will be affected? 30 Not
31 MOVING FORWARD Mitigating the reputational risk is an issue to address today. Ensure your firm s employees and Advisors understand the implications of the changes to them, the firm, and their clients. Consistently communicate the firm s strategy on how the firm will educate, train and implement on the changes. Ensure your firm is focusing beyond the risk and compliance changes of the DOL Fiduciary Rule the Client and Advisor Experience will determine the winners the marketplace. This is not simply adding new disclosures in the compliance process. Upholding a fiduciary standard is the new way of doing business. 31 Not
