Firms that focus on deliberate strategies and effectively implement their plans will be in the position to capture a large base of assets. Firms
that fail to act run the risk of losing assets at an accelerating rate - Accenture

Robo Advisors Are A Wake Up Call To Traditional Wealth Management

Robo Funding Slowing


Down fueling likely
Consolidation

Wealth Managers
Increasingly
Launching Their Own
Platforms

Robo cost of client acquisition is high relative to near term revenue potential. Only a few Robos will
reach sufficient scale to survive
Buyers will likely be full service providers, looking to adopt a hybrid model. Robos typically wont be
buyers as they wont wish to meld different philosophies
Wealth management firms have accelerated the adoption of SaaS-based solutions to help advisors
leverage web-based tools in a more cost-effective and time-efficient manner.
Timely and easy access to information is essential to build customer trust and loyalty. Insufficient
client reporting capabilities is cited as a key driver to client attrition
Full service platforms will build or acquire missing technology pieces to provide complete solution
The Robos are primarily answering the call of the smaller AUM time starved early investors

It is Not Only About


Fees

Generational transfer of wealth in the order of $30T will occur over 20 years, allowing plenty of time
to adapt and thrive. Fees alone will not drive assets to Robo platforms.
Full Service firms will find methods to answer Millenials tech hungry needs, some will do so by
partnering with Robos who increasingly are open to providing B2B2C type offerings
Transfer of wealth drives significant issues around planning, tax implications, and other advice
Robos not able to handle

Hybrid Models Will


Evolve

Hybrid models will evolve with advice and automation balanced to the satisfaction of the investor
Technology will facilitate hands on advisors handling more clients with smaller portfolios, while still
maintaining profitability

Matthew Kane Bio


Matthew is the co-founder and chief ninja of Hedgeable, a venture backed private banking
startup he started with his twin brother Mike with less than $100 in his bank account out of his
apartment when he was 24. Matt uses all of his covert product, strategy, and design ninja skills to
silently take down an industry of sleeping giants ripe for disruption. Some of the industry firsts
in the digital wealth space Matthew has been responsible for include:
-

The first to offer tactical, risk managed accounts


The first to offer bitcoin investing as an asset class
The first to offer venture investing as an asset class
The first to offer impact and socially responsible portfolios
The first gamified wealth management platform
The first rewards based loyalty program

Matt also advises early stage startups through his firm Morefield Partners. Before starting
Hedgeable he was an associate at multi-billion dollar fund seeded by SAC capital called Sailfish
Capital Partners.
Born and raised in the Northeast section of Philadelphia, and educated entirely in the
Philadelphia public school system, Matthew now lives in New York City. He graduated with
distinction from Penn State University with a B.S. in Finance and was one of the first graduates
of the Engineering Entrepreneurship program.
About Hedgeable
Hedgeable is the first private bank built for millennials. It was founded in 2009 in response to the
unprecedented losses seen during the financial crisis when Americans who didnt have $10
million to invest with the most sophisticated managers suffered the most. Hedgeables mission is
to offer "Goldman Sachs for the rest of us", a high net worth style wealth management platform
made accessible to everyone online at a low cost. The company has been featured in publications
such as Time, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, The Wall Street Journal, and Barrons.

KEITH WALKER

President
First Citizens Investor Services, Inc.
Keith Walker joined First Citizens Investor Services (FCIS), a subsidiary of First Citizens Bank, in
2004 as a Regional Sales Manager. Currently serving as President of the Raleigh, N.C.-based firm, his
responsibilities include oversight of a growing regional bank broker dealer with 44 registered
advisors and almost $5 billion in assets under management. Since 2004, FCIS revenues have
doubled, growing from approximately $16 million to a projected $32 million for 2015. In 2007,
BISA presented FCIS with the coveted Award of Excellence for Regional Institution Program of the
Year.
During his time with the firm, Walker has played an integral role in the growth of the Fee Based
Managed Account Program at FCIS, which has grown assets under management from $75 million to
its current size of $560 million. More importantly, the revenue produced by the program has grown
from 9 percent of total firm revenue, to its current total of approximately 26 percent.
He is currently leading the firm through an important strategic merger with First Citizens Securities
of South Carolina, which will result in a combined firm with 62 Financial Advisors, $7.5 billion in
assets and $45 million in annual revenues.
Prior to joining First Citizens Investor Services, Walker held various positions, including advisor and
management roles with BB&T Investment Services and as a Financial Advisor with FCIS and

Why You Care


When is a fund subject to ERISA or Code section 4975?
Operations/management of fund: Fund must be a plan assets fund

Funds registered under 1940 Act are exempt from plan assets rules
Collective funds may be plan assets if a single plan invests
Insurance company separate accounts may be plan assets if a single plan invests
Other funds may be plan assets if they dont qualify as VCOC/REOC, and plans exceed 25%
test

Sales/distribution: Shares or interests offered to a plan or IRA


Non-fiduciary distributor (e.g., broker dealer under current law)
Reasonable compensation
Disclosures (for ERISA plans)
Fiduciary (e.g., discretionary manager)
Reasonable compensation
Disclosures (for ERISA plans)
No additional compensation without an exemption (e.g., PTE 77-4 for affiliated
investments; PTE 86-128 for affiliated brokerage)

9/24/2015

Why You Care


Current law
ERISA plan fiduciaries must:
Adhere to prudent expert standard of care and duty to act solely in the interest of
plan and participants and other fiduciary standards

ERISA plan and IRA fiduciaries must:


Comply with highly prescriptive prohibited transaction rules barring variable
compensation and many other common transactions (absent an exemption)

Proposed rule
Increases activities that would result in fiduciary status
Provides limited exceptions and exemptions
Imposes a contractual impartial conduct standards including duty to act in
clients best interests that would apply as a condition of a new exemption
Changes exemptions fiduciaries currently rely on

Why You Care (Contd)


If adopted as proposed, rule will have a profound impact on:
How services are provided to ERISA plans and IRAs
Retail brokerage
Institutional brokerage
Investment education and communications
Valuations and appraisals
Recordkeeping and platform providers

How all types of investment products and services are sold to ERISA plans and IRAs
How all types of investment products and services are sold to intermediaries that
become fiduciaries under the rule
Disclosures provided to small plan fiduciaries, plan participants, and IRAs
New proposed exemption would require extensive (some may say onerous and unworkable)
disclosure of investment-related compensation paid to financial institutions and their individual
representatives

9/24/2015

Overview of Proposal
1. Revised definition of investment advice fiduciary
a.

Broader definition of activities that result in fiduciary status

b.

Six explicit carve-outs

d.

Agency transactions

e.

Underwriting

f.

Margin loans

A buy, sell or hold recommendation

Recommendations to rollover assets from plans and IRAs, and recommendations
as to the investment or management of such assets
An appraisal or fairness opinion regarding the value of securities or other property
in connection with a specific transaction or transactions
A recommendation of a person who will receive a fee in connection with any of
the above

Also a fiduciary if you say you are one and do any of the activities above.

10

9/24/2015

Exceptions from Fiduciary Status


1. Sellers exception for large ERISA plans (100+ participants) and
accounts ($100M+ assets)

May permit, for example, an asset manager to recommend funds in a sales pitch to
an institutional client without becoming a fiduciary to the client

2. Counterparties advice in connection with certain swaps for ERISA


plans
3. Employees of the plan sponsor
4. Platform providers (including selection and monitoring assistance)

at least as favorable as the contemporaneous price offered by two unaffiliated
counterparties
Disclosures: point of sale, confirmations, annual disclosures, upon request
Recordkeeping

13

Amendments to Current Exemptions


These amendments would generally impose a best interest standard to
obtain relief under a number of exemptions covering transactions with
ERISA plans and IRAs
Amendments to PTE 86-128 (Affiliated Brokerage) change its application to
current fiduciaries:

Specifically defines and limits commissions for which relief is available

transactions) (currently covered under a part of PTE 75-1 proposed to be revoked), subject to
new limitations on covered commissions

to Best Interest Contract exemption)
Increase conditions for discretionary advice fiduciaries to IRAs

Amendments to PTE 84-24 (Insurance Agents and Brokers and Mutual Fund
Principal Underwriters) would revoke relief for transactions involving variable
annuity contracts and other annuity contracts that constitute securities
under federal securities laws and mutual fund shares (relief moved to Best
Interest Contract exemption)
Amendments to PTE 77-4 would impose best interest standard

14

9/24/2015

Amendments to Current Exemptions


(Contd)

PTE 75-1, Part I (Agency Transactions): Relief for providing certain


nonfiduciary services to plans and IRAs would be revoked with the
intention that persons who seek to engage in these transactions rely
on ERISA section 408(b)(2) or Code section 4975(d)(2)

Implementation and adoption are different


Achieving adoption is the functional equivalent of restructuring the wealth
business model when it comes to managed accounts / UMA / UMH /
overlay.

Picture of a future adoption failure


when adoptions fail it is most often because:
Underestimate the scope and impact on the business and leave too little
time and set unrealistic expectations.
Change management effort is limited to technology implementation and
delegated to IT and not senior management.
Partial adoptions: Adding a new offering without converting all accounts to
one process.
Fail to reprice all services if incurring new costs
Staff is allowed to choose to work with new platform or continue what
theyve been doing successfully in the past.

10/7/2015

What it takes to transition a strategic plan to


reality: what attributes prove more challenging
than first envisioned
Many institutional clients do not understand the full implications
of what theyve purchased & enabled
Aligning the fee schedule for profitabilityespecially in banks
Onboarding clients and capturing account sticky notes
Getting PMs to learn to think through their process using a new
toolkit
Procedures (as differentiated from policy)
Compensation policies aligning with desired behavior

Characteristics that should be part of a


successful adoption
Automation and replication of otherwise manual work.
Too many platforms just bundle what are essentially discreet and still
highly manual workflows under a common umbrella and call it
automation.
Replication requires automation of complex analysis and
customization work otherwise done manually.
Tax aware based on client specific not generalizations to the tax lot
level
Ability to document to client why they are better off paying a higher fee
Embrace and manage change and not force a platform to copy your
inefficiencies scale.

Treat as change management exerciseutilize best practices
of change management
Recognize whats involvednot just about the provider building
a site for you configured based on your needs.
Engage cross-functional team early and oftenhelps ensure
measure twice/cut once clarity and drives buy-in
Dont let the inmates run the asylum: project cant be driven by

Many implementations fail or take much too long due to a lack

MICHAEL JONES, CFA


CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER
Michael serves as Chairman and Chief Investment Officer, bringing more than 25
years of global investment experience to his role in leading the organization.
Michaels primary investment responsibility is setting the firms overall asset
allocation strategy and ensuring appropriate investment and risk management
processes are applied to all of the firms portfolio decisions. In addition, he serves
on the firms Operating Committee.
Prior to launching RiverFront in 2008, Michael was the Chief Investment Officer at
Wachovia Securities from 2002. In this capacity, he was responsible for all aspects
of financial advice, including asset allocation, tactical strategy and portfolio
implementation and managed over $75B in discretionary portfolio assets.
Michael began his career in fixed income portfolio management, serving in a
variety of roles cumulating in his promotion to Chief Fixed Income Officer for
Mentor Investment Group. While at Mentor and its successor firm, Evergreen
Investment Management, Michael managed over $12 billion in high grade and high
yield fixed income assets and was responsible for the design and implementation
of advanced fixed income and risk management analytics.

frequently quoted in the financial press.
Michael earned a BA in Economics from the College of William and Mary and an
MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. He received his

The Art: Though Michaels artistic side is less developed than his financial side,
he has compensated for this shortcoming by a marrying a woman with fantastic
artistic tastes. As a result, their three children express themselves through the
guitar, piano, musical composition and drama. Michaels artistic role in the
family is confined to occasionally picking out the wine for dinner and playing with
their dog Spot, who also lacks any discernible artistic talents.

THE PRIMARY OBLIGATION OF OUR INDUSTRY


The largest demographic wave in US history is
approaching retirement.
Pensions and Social Security wont fund their needs.
Traditional income alternatives offer low income and
high risks.
The Three Cs have deemphasized equity investments
as a core income solution.
Something has to change if the baby boomers are to
have a secure retirement.

DISCLOSURES

Information on charts from CRSP: Calculated based on data from CRSP 1925 US Indices Database 2014 Center for
Research in Security Prices (CRSP), Booth School of Business, The University of Chicago. Large Cap Universes used in
the chart is defined by CRSP based on market capitalization.
Used as a source for cap-based portfolio research appearing in publications, and by practitioners for benchmarking,
the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio Indices Product data tracks micro, small, mid- and large-cap stocks on monthly and
quarterly frequencies. This product is used to track and analyze performance differentials between size-relative
portfolios.
CRSP ranks all NYSE companies by market capitalization and divides them into ten equally populated portfolios.
Alternext and NASDAQ stocks are then placed into the deciles determined by the NYSE breakpoints, based on market
capitalization. The series of 10 indices are identified as CRSP 1 through CRSP 10, where CRSP 10 has the largest
population and smallest market-capitalization. CRSP portfolios 1-2 represent large cap stocks, portfolios 3-5 represent
mid-caps and portfolios 6-10 represent small caps.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

13

Stocks represent partial ownership of a corporation. If the corporation does well, its value increases, and investors
share in the appreciation. However, if it goes bankrupt, or performs poorly, investors can lose their entire initial
investment (i.e., the stock price can go to zero). Bonds represent a loan made by an investor to a corporation or
government. As such, the investor gets a guaranteed interest rate for a specific period of time and expects to get
their original investment back at the end of that time period, along with the interest earned. Investment risk is
repayment of the principal (amount invested). In the event of a bankruptcy or other corporate disruption, bonds are
senior to stocks. Investors should be aware of these differences prior to investing.

Master Limited Partnership (MLP) investing includes risks such as equity- and commodity-like volatility. Also,
distribution payouts sometimes include the return of principal and, in these instances, references to these payouts as
"dividends" or "yields" may be inaccurate and may overstate the profitability/success of the MLP. Additionally, there
are potentially complex and adverse tax consequences associated with investing in MLPs. This is largely dependent on
how the MLPs are structured and the vehicle used to invest in the MLPs. It is strongly recommended that an investor
consider and understand these characteristics of MLPs and consult with a financial and tax professional prior
to investment.

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) investing entails special risks, including credit risk, interest rate fluctuations
and the impact of varied economic conditions.

ETFs are subject to substantially the same risks as those associated with the direct ownership of the securities
comprising the index on which the ETF is based. Additionally, the value of the investment will fluctuate in response
to the performance of the underlying index. ETFs typically incur fees that are separate from those fees charged by
RiverFront. Therefore, investments in ETFs will result in the layering of expenses.

Fixed Income Securities' value generally declines in a rising interest rate environment.

High-yield securities (including junk bonds) are subject to greater risk of loss of principal and interest, including
default risk, than higher-rated securities.
