1 THE CERULLI REPORT Boutique Advisory Firms and RIAs Balancing Scale and Independence for Top-Tier Advisors Overview While complete independence piques the interest of many advisors, this interest often declines when advisors explore the realities of running their own practice. This report explores the rise of advisory firms, such as HighTower, Dynasty Financial Partners, and SeaCrest Wealth Management that provide platforms and services comparable to wirehouses, but to a more limited advisorbase and with greater advisor autonomy. The report examines the appeal of these firms to advisors as well as distribution opportunities for product providers. Data used in this report is from four proprietary surveys: Financial Advisors and RIAs, National Sales Managers and Wholesalers, RIA Service Agents, and Asset Managers. Benefits Build actionable business plans for addressing these firms Identify opportunities for product providers Examine the competitiveness of these firms and ownership structure Explore firm segments Questions Answered This report answers these and other critical questions: 1. What characteristics define the boutique segment? 2. What types of support are most valued by advisors? 3. How do ownership arrangements affect advisor recruitment? 4. Which advisors are the best prospects for boutique firms? 5. What are investors preferences for advisor affiliation? 6. How are asset managers approaching these firms? 7. What kinds of platforms do these firms offer advisors? 8. What is driving advisors towards these firms? 9. What clients do these firms service?

7 Introduction form updates that would help their practices, but have little impact on the rest of the firm. Cerulli believes that high-production teams will increasingly seek out firms that focus on their specific needs rather than affiliate with providers that seek to serve a wide range of advisors across multiple segments. Defining Boutiques The most important concept in considering the potential of boutique advisory firms is that there is no single line in the sand that delineates a boutique; numerous firms operate across a continuum, with each adopting its own preferred combination of factors that contribute to its degree of boutiqueness. As will be discussed throughout this report, there is an ongoing blurring of the lines between channels as firms across the industry largely try to move away from a legacy of stock brokerage and towards a more broad focus on wealth management. From a general perspective, the defining features of a boutique are that the firm is of limited scale, focuses on above average advisors, and operates in what Cerulli considers an advisor-centric model, meaning that advisor-client relationships are central to the firm s value proposition and revenues. EXHIBIT 4 Boutique Defining Elements, 2012 Advisor-client relationships are central to boutiques value. Source: Cerulli Associates Element Guidelines Explanations Advisor-centric Limited scale Majority of revenues from retail advisor advice relationships Generally less than 200 advisors in group Limited focus on complementary proprietary product offerings May exist as autonomous unit within larger firm (such as an OSJ within a large IBD) "Above average" advisors Focused on advisors with AUM above national average of $36 million Usually team-based wealth managers to serve higher net worth market segment. Of course, the term boutique implies not only that a firm is of limited scale, but also that it offers a degree of sophistication and specialization. All these elements are central parts of the appeal of the boutique segment. Highly productive financial advisors have been a valued part of wirehouses and other large employer B/Ds for many years. These firms have made tremendous efforts to retain and recruit these advisors, but despite these efforts, many top advisors still felt that they were either not receiving the ideal mix of support to help grow their businesses, or simply wanted to improve their long-term financial position by retaining more of the revenues they generated and creating standalone salable businesses. Across the industry, even those firms that have structured their overall value proposition around maintaining a monolithic stature within wealth management have taken steps to offer their advisors models Boutique Advisory Firms and RIAs 21 C A
8 Chapter 4 Boutique Building Blocks attract top-performing advisory practices. Advisors want to be able to control those aspects about which they are most passionate, but also recognize the benefits of professional management. Establishing Differentiation When working as employee advisors at wirehouses, many advisors believe they are intimately involved in every aspect of their practice s operation. However, they are frequently shocked at the level of complexities and details that are actually performed by their home office or shared support staff when they consider a move to independence. Suddenly, ensuring clients best interests could be replaced at the top of an advisor s priority list with a concern that the office s computers are working properly or that each individual advisor s compliance files are current. Aiding advisors in addressing these needs and concerns is central to the value of boutiques. Advisors are interested in allying with others for their benefit, but do not want to compromise their core beliefs in how a practice should be run to do so. The variety of affiliation options available in the boutique segment reflects the breadth of choices available. The challenges faced by potential breakaway practices literally start from the ground up. EXHIBIT 43 Challenges Facing Smaller Wealth Management Providers, 2013 Boutique providers must choose their level of service in each category.
