By 2013, an estimated $327 billion in client household assets will be managed through UMAs. <br />“UMAs were originally designed as a way to bring multiple separate account managers into one account,” said Dennis King, senior vice president of business development for Securities America Advisors. “Working with Envestnet, Securities America has taken the UMA strategy one step further by developing a UMA that brings mutual fund wrap strategists into one account. No other firm does that.”<br />Advisors can include multiple SMA or mutual fund portfolio managers within the Managed Opportunities UMA or create their own models by choosing any of the separate account or mutual fund wrap portfolios on the Managed Opportunities platform.<br />“Advisors who have delayed converting their practice to a fee-based model because they perceived it as too much work have no reason, with the Managed Opportunities UMA, to delay any longer,” King said. <br />Because UMAs require only one client registration, one account, one set of paperwork and one 1099, advisors can spend more time building client relationships and gathering new assets. Portfolios and investment policy statements – customized to an individual client’s securities restrictions, tax concerns and cash management needs – can be created online in about 10 minutes. Advisors have online access to rolled-up reports, updated daily, on assets at a household level, regardless of different registrations or money managers used. <br />About Securities America<br />Headquartered in La Vista, Neb., has more than 1,800 financial professionals nationwide with approximately $46 billion in client assets under their supervision.
