3 Trends & Opportunities for the RIA ın 2015 With so many new trends that have come along in the RIA space, independent advisors are entering an era of opportunity like never before. Dean Zayed, president of Brookstone Capital Management, one of the top 30 fastest-growing RIA firms 1, shares his observations on several trends and opportunities facing the independent advisor in Trend #1: With returns on investments like Certificates of Deposit and Treasury Bills low, more and more people are looking to the stock market. Opportunity: Clients and prospects are wondering if it s possible to get good investment returns when the stock market is near all-time highs. Here s a simple concept Wall Street tends to miss: One of the best ways to grow dollars is geometric compounding. When big firms or funds advocate pursuit of big gains, this also means the investor is assuming the risk of taking large losses. To use a baseball analogy, we think the secret of winning consistently is focusing on getting singles, doubles and triples instead of going for home runs and risking striking out. Most investors want respectable returns. They might be thrilled to score big returns, but not at the risk of a 50% drop in their principal if the market goes south. Consider what we ve seen in the stock market the last few years. In 2013 the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up about 26%. As of late November 2014, it was up about 10%. Yet many investors who were fully committed to the stock market in 2007 are only breaking even. They don t realize a 50% drop in the market requires a 100% rise in the market to recover the loss. At Brookstone, we feel that aiming for consistent returns while avoiding large drawdowns leads to dollar growth. We utilize a risk-managed approach using professional money management and specific strategies with low correlation to broader market activity. One manager employs a hedged equity strategy while another focuses on a protective options strategy. Your client wants portfolio risk actively managed where possible, to avoid large losses while participating in the market s upward movement. Trend #2: Clients are living longer. Today s 65-yearold will likely live to age 90. Their retirement assets need to work harder and last longer. Opportunity: Retirement isn t what it used to be. People need advice more than ever. 1 Advisor Magazine Fastest Growing RIA Firms for 2013 February
4 Most clients today won t have the advantage of a defined benefit pension plan such as their parents enjoyed. They need to provide for their own retirement. The financial services industry has taught advisors how to grow a client s assets over time. Unfortunately, it has done a poor job teaching preservation and distribution during the client s retirement. Today s clients need income planning because their assets will likely need to provide for 30+ years. At Brookstone we have the tools and technology available to help advisors serve as income planning specialists. Today s retirees must understand that total return, not dividends or interest alone, is critical. Strategies provided by our sub-advisors include a covered call strategy to help clients focus on positive returns that are less dependent on a rising stock market. The client s portfolio is expected to grow through income from writing covered calls in addition to dividends collected and any capital appreciation. Of the 37 investment strategies we offer, several are focused on income. Advisors must be income-planning specialists if they want to remain relevant and have staying power for the next 20 years. Trend #3: Technology is here to stay. Successful advisors must be on the leading edge. Opportunity: Technology. Clients demand it. The advisor must provide it. Mass-market financial services firms have spent billions on technology. They Advisors must be incomeplanning specialists if they want to remain relevant. offer clients access to portfolio and market data anywhere and anytime. Their advisors can access data and conduct business remotely. Independent advisors must be able to compete. At Brookstone, we have invested in technology that allows clients and advisors to access detailed performance reports 24/7. Clients can evaluate portfolios themselves on the weekend instead of waiting until Monday to call their advisor. Advisors must be able to compete with the big boys. Our platform allows advisors to open accounts online at a client s home and utilize electronic signature technology to complete documents. Many clients want the technology benefits the large firms deliver along with the independent approach you can provide. We help you do both. Trend #4: Independent advisors own a business. What s it worth? Can it be sold? Opportunity: Succession planning independent advisors want to retire too. At Brookstone, we help advisors build their book of business. We also help them transition to the next stage of their life. If an advisor chooses to merge or sell their practice to another advisor on the Brookstone platform, their clients enjoy continuity of advice and service. We also have the legal structure, blueprint and capital funding to assist advisors seeking to buy another Brookstone affiliated advisor s practice. If your own retirement is in the near future, Brookstone can help you transition your practice. 2 February 2015
5 How to Decide Which RIA Platform Is Right for You As an Independent Registered Advisor, you have a loyal clientele for your insurance practice. You do financial planning, implement strategies and measure progress to goals. Unfortunately, your tools on the investment side of the relationship are limited. Worse, their investment advisors elsewhere are asking them to take their insurance business across the street. Enough is enough. You ve got the licenses. Now you need to choose an RIA platform. What criteria should you apply? Critical Criteria 1. Manager Selection How many professional money managers are available on their Separately Managed Account (SMA) platform? How many strategies utilizing mutual funds? Are some exclusive? Rationale: One-stop shopping is appealing. Your client does investment business. You want to provide enough choice to be their sole provider. Good for the client: They don t need to compromise or limit their horizons if they choose to invest with you. Access to exclusive managers is a plus. Good for the advisor: The platform can compete head-on with an offering from a mass-market financial services firm. You are providing a comparable service while maintaining your objectivity and exclusivity. 2. Pricing Structure Is it competitive and transparent? Are there hidden fees? Rationale: Many investment products involve front-end sales charges or backend surrender fees. The ideal managed investment platform has an ongoing, prorated fee structure. Good for the client: Although investing should be considered with a longterm time horizon, clients appreciate a pay as you go pricing model. Good for the advisor: Being paid for assets under management puts the client on the same side of the table, moving them away from the pay-by-transaction model. 3. Exchangeability Can a client switch from one manager to another without encountering additional fees? Is it easy? Rationale: Needs change. A retiring client s risk tolerance might change from Aggressive Growth to Income and Growth. Can they easily change money managers or move from one managed strategy to another, bearing in mind the tax issue? Good for the client: When clients make a decision, they often want to February
6 Why Use an RIA Platform? 1. It s good for the client 2. Clients want professional money management 3. Competitors are showing it to them 4. Adds to your professionalism 5. Logical fee model 6. Professional money managers act on your client s behalf 7. Eases compliance concerns 8. Asset-allocation friendly 9. Advisor and client on the same side of table 10. Liquidity as needed 11. Advisor compensation 12. Recurring revenue for advisor execute immediately. A platform allowing clients to transition from one strategy to another without their funds remaining in limbo means their money is working for them. Good for the advisor: You continue to help your client address their investment needs even if their objectives change. 4. Liquidity Clients need money from time to time. Investing may involve a long-term time horizon, but can they get at their money if necessary? Rationale: A good platform allows clients to make occasional withdrawals or periodic distributions without encountering transaction costs or being forced to conform to a quarterly liquidity schedule. Good for the client: Their money is working, yet they can access it. They can finance their retirement by making periodic withdrawals at levels and intervals they choose. Good for the advisor: No need to explain surrender charges or adhere to a time schedule to liquidate securities. 5. Speed of Enrollment and Executions Your client is interested. Can their money be easily put to work? Can assets held away be transferred in to fund the account? Can more money be added? Rationale: The ideal platform has staff on-site issuing instructions to managers shortly after receiving them from the client s advisor. Good for the client: They make the decision to invest. The advisor does the rest using a seamless procedure with the platform provider. Lag time is minimized. Good for the advisor: Once the signed paperwork and funds are submitted, the process is underway. If the client has chosen to add funds to a strategy or to withdraw funds, their money is available shortly afterward. 6. Client Communication Clients ask: How is my money doing? and Is that manager performing to expectations? Rationale: A good platform makes current account information available online for both clients and advisors, 4 February 2015
7 along with providing easy-to-read paper statements at periodic intervals. Good for the client: Online account access allows them to get answers 24/7. Good for the advisor: Advisors want clients to share responsibility for monitoring account activity and performance. Paper statements keep them in the loop. 7. Advisor Compensation No one is expected to work for free. Rationale: Platforms make money. You provide value on an ongoing basis. Are you paid for your efforts? Good for the client: Clients know the advisor is the point person in the relationship. They expect their advisor shares in the fees they pay. Good for the advisor: By earning a fee across assets under management, the advisor is compensated for giving the client advice and attention, even if transactions aren t involved. Advisors see the need to provide investment alternatives comparable to those provided by mass-market financial services providers. They also want to maintain their independence and objectivity. The ideal platform allows this to happen. THE PATH TO A BETTER ADVISORY BUSINESS STARTS HERE February
