  3. PLANSPONSOR Industry Overview • Inflexion point for DC: Increasing use of auto-everything; opt out, as opposed to opt in • Whither the sophisticated participant?

  4. Is Open Architecture now a requirement? • Yes, but proprietary DC models still do well • Most providers say they are open architecture • It is not what you say but what you do in practice

  5. Proprietary funds are pushed because of economics • How are your economics different? • Client philosophy first • State of the art technology platform

  6. Is Open Architecture more expensive? • Costs vs. Net Return • Fee Transparency

  7. Open Architecture in Practice • Core line-up • Life style (Risk Based) • Life cycle (Age Based) • Individually Directed Accounts

  8. What is the difference between an IDA & SDBA? • Both offer more flexibility than a core line-up • Any asset allowed by ERISA • Registered Mutual Funds • Publicly traded securities • Non-publicly traded securities • Hedge funds • Real Estate • Limited Partnerships • Freedom to select an advisor to manage their portfolio

  9. How do you work with the Plan Sponsor in setting parameters? • Determine limits and guidelines for investments • Securities law restrictions • More plan sponsor involvement up front • M&I reviews non-publicly traded investment materials

  10. How do the trades flow in an IDA? • We can trade Delivery vs. Payment with any broker selected • M&I maintains custody of assets • Flexibility is the key

  11. Is the IDA an evolved SDBA? • Our belief: need to accommodate non- publicly traded securities and an advisor selected by a participant • Increased automation • Trust Company capabilities

  12. Is the IDA an expensive feature for Plan Sponsors? • Participant demographics • IDA = Retail brokerage • Who is paying for what

  13. What are the advantages for the Advisor? • Trade individual security issues through their own brokerage arm, which provides direct compensation • Establish asset allocation across all investment classes and maintain a single investment approach for all of a participant’s assets

  14. What role can the Advisors play in the IDA? • Professional money management • IDA becomes an extension of existing accumulation program • Mirror private savings of each participant • Maintain personal relationships

  15. What is getting in the way of broader adoption of IDAs? • Plan Sponsor attitudes • It is the participant’s money • Satisfying the vocal minority

  16. Who would be interested in this product? • Professional service groups • Large corporations with a significant number of highly compensated executives • Technology and Financial Service firms
