The Complete Picture
Sophisticated Wealth Management Strategies to Grow Your Business

Wealth creates special opportunities and unique challenges as wealthier clients often require more complex financial solutions to help them reach their goals. And to be able to effectively serve affluent and high-net-worth individuals, financial advisors require access to comprehensive programs and the expertise to back them up.
 
In order to best serve our independent advisors, First Allied has assembled a wealth management platform that addresses many unique needs of affluent and high-net-worth clients. And while the scope of wealth management programs encompasses a variety of products and services, the platform rests on a foundation of accessibility to resources that makes it easier to focus on what matters most—your clients.


Integrated Programs Put You in the Driver’s Seat
.
First Allied’s wealth management program for small-business owners is based on the principle that integrating the most important components of a client’s financial lifecycle into a single plan optimizes their ability to most efficiently achieve their objectives.

Using off-the-shelf products and services may result in conflicting objectives, disrupting one’s ability to reach critical milestones. An integrated financial plan brings together the most important components of a client’s economic lifecycle and sets them in motion in unison. By following a well-balanced strategy that involves tax-status optimization, pension and retirement planning, risk management, portfolio design and asset protection, you set clients on what we believe to be the shortest path to reaching their financial goals. And by equipping you with the capability to function as a single point of contact for all of the aforementioned services, your clients save valuable time and maximize their hard-earned dollars, potentially achieving their goals with less risk and greater certainty.

First Allied advisors have direct access to a staff of pension and retirement planning professionals, actuarial resources and legal counsel to help create and manage the full gamut of IRS-approved pension plans. Similarly, our risk management specialists offer direction in integrating insurance inside of this wealth management protocol, simultaneously considering your client’s corporate structure, tax status, qualified retirement savings vehicles, and more. Portfolio managers and their varied expertise are also readily accessible for consultation with your or your clients via our state-of-the-art video conferencing capabilities.


A Unique Appeal to Doctors
.
The integrated wealth management program for small-business owners can be conveniently packaged to appeal to a number of different markets. We have particular expertise in working successfully with healthcare professionals under the banner of the Greenbook program—the product of more than three decades of helping high-income physicians and dentists work toward their financial goals.

Simply put, the Greenbook program takes into account the unique earning, saving and spending patterns of doctors across different specialties and age groups, and utilizes that understanding to build customized financial plans focused squarely on the needs and objectives of each doctor client.

Participating advisors may leverage First Allied’s wealth management resources to build annual capital accumulation plans, called Redbooks, which provide clients with guidance on the implementation of strategies and products designed to help them attain financial independence. Upon achieving financial independence goals, clients receive annual distribution plans, called Greenbooks.

This planning protocol is a supported comprehensive marketing program that supplies you with tools and resources carefully crafted to elicit interest from qualified doctor prospects in your local market. From seminars to drip campaigns, multimedia presentations, brochures and more, the Greenbook program provides a highly effective marketing engine to drive the growth of a financial services practice.


Sophisticated, Custom Offerings for the Wealthy
.
High-net-worth clients with portfolios of $1 million or more who are seeking comprehensive investment solutions and personalized service need look no further than First Allied’s Private Client Services offering. With the most recent recession in the background, this program was built on the belief that traditional diversification methods cannot cope with market volatility and the increasing correlation of previously uncorrelated asset classes.

Combining strategies designed to adapt to market changes and to share risk-managed characteristics, Private Client Services portfolios provide a foundation of advanced diversification not just across asset class, but also by instrument and investment vehicle.

Asset managers are available to help you by evaluating objectives and developing custom portfolios, monitoring performance and providing ongoing management through a process that emphasizes clear communication and transparency between all parties.

By allowing your top clients the ability to consider First Allied’s Private Client Services offering you provide them an option that is not available from most broker/dealers. This differentiator can also act as a motivator for them to remain your clients as you switch broker/dealers, and to potentially increase your ability to capture assets they may have with other advisors.


Repeatable, Custom Solutions Driving Your Growth
.
If you want to build relationships with high-net-worth prospects and to deepen bonds with existing clients, you need access to wealth management offerings that transcend off-the-shelf products or ubiquitous investment vehicles. To address the unique and complex needs of high-income investors, you must be able to respond to their needs, fears and goals with sophisticated strategies that address the increasing complexity of the markets and investing in the 21st century.

First Allied best serves advisors with access to the resources you need so you may in turn best serve your clients. This repeatable process starts with the human capital and infrastructure required to develop and manage sophisticated strategies and services. It then develops into regular consultation to address evolving client needs, and culminates in custom solutions that help solidify lifelong relationships.
