AdvisorPlan      PCSCapital

The Retirement Program Designed For Dually Registered Advisors

Broker dealers today face a variety of challenges -- from compressed fee structures to increasing supervisory and compliance costs. In the retirement market, perhaps the greatest challenge is meeting the demands of advisors for an open and competitive platform -- and the corresponding fiduciary services -- without undermining your supervisory obligations. In short, how can you properly add investment advisor practices in the retirement marketplace?

  Leverage the Fiduciary Services of ManagedPlan’s Investment Managers
    The ManagedPlan Program is a wrap fee program offering a choice of leading, independent, ”investment managers” each of whom specifically assume fiduciary responsibility with respect to plan assets. Each investment manager undertakes an unbiased investment selection process with no proprietary funds and no sub-advised funds. As a result, under the ManagedPlan Program your advisors do not take on the fiduciary duty to invest or manage assets of the plan but instead focus on assisting their client in monitoring the selected investment manager’s performance.

  ManagedPlan’s Level Wrap Fee Reduces Compliance Concerns
    While the retirement product focus has clearly shifted to open architecture, broker dealer support of such platforms is not without compliance risk. From both a securities law and ERISA standpoint, advisor recommendations that result in varying commissions present the possibility of a misalignment of interests and may even result in prohibited transactions. ManagedPlan is structured as a level wrap fee to reduce the possibility of these compliance concerns. In addition, ManagedPlan gives your advisors access to the ERISA attorneys and benefits specialists at Professional Capital Services, LLC.

    “According to the Investment Company Institute, the use of asset allocation funds in defined contribution plans has increased from $6 billion to $168 billion over the last 10 years and by 63% in 2005 alone!“


  Allow your advisors to sit on their client’s side of the table.
    Because ManagedPlan offers no proprietary funds, no sub-advised funds and maintains no mutual fund revenue sharing criteria (mutual fund fees are fully disclosed and offset against plan expenses), there is complete objectivity in fund and investment selection. In short, there are never any funds to push or hidden agenda.

  Co-Branding: Lets your client remain your client.
    ManagedPlan is not available directly and it's not just a referral, ManagedPlan is only offered through select broker-dealers and independent advisors. ManagedPlan becomes an additional service available to your current and prospective clients. Through ManagedPlan's customized proposal system you can generate proposals customized for you and your firm within minutes. The program also offers customized Plan and Participant Websites, and your own customized sales and enrollment presentations.

  Choice: ManagedPlan's advisors assist in selecting the Plan's investments
