What is Getting in the Way of Client-Centered Success? Research: Lack of Behavioral Suitability From the First Interaction 1. Advisors can only engage 40% of their clients, leaving 60% under serviced 2. 85% of complaints start with poor advisorclient communication 3. 5% of advisors are potentially rogue costing 5% of revenue in losses/claims 4. Advisors are only 40% accurate in identifying the client risk profile 5. Investor emotions causing 7. 45% per year portfolio under-performance 6. Advisor/Investment Manager biases causing under-performance by 1% to 3% per year 7. Firm/advisor centered culture leads to fundamental biases in solutions offered – tied to old ways of operating www. financialdna. com
The Fundamental Causes of Investor Suitability Risks The Issues are More Than Client Behavior Rogue Advisor Behavior: Pressure, lack of insight, awareness and EQ overinfluencing the outcome and poor communication Emotional Client Behavior: Mis-alignment of objective financial and subjective behavioral factors Investor Suitability Risks www. financialdna. com Greedy Firm Behavior: Revenue and remuneration model driving poor portfolio and advisor choices and service culture.

Global Regulatory Avalanche Driving the Need to Take Action Now Investor Suitability is the No 1 Source of Complaints Globally The regulatory trend is fast moving towards making investor suitability and acting in clients best interests the highest priority starting with a deeper level of behavioral insights to “know your client”. 1996 to 2010 Traditional Fact Finds, Limited Monitoring www. financialdna. com 2011 to 2016 Risk Profiles (Ability and Willingness to Take Risk), Behavioral Biases Heavy Complaint Based Monitoring Post 2016 Client Interests First, Firm Culture and Attitude Review SEC/FINRA resources increased by 20% in 2016
“Tick the Box” Compliance Does Not Provide Legal Protection The Action Needs to be Preventing Suitability Complaints Suitability complaints start with a combination of poor communication, low trust in the advisor, poor decisions on both sides and an overall lack of behavioral management at key points of the client life-cycle. Regardless of whether the advisor has “technically” made a suitable recommendation or not, the practical situation needs to be addressed: 1. Poor “bedside” manner and hiding information elevating client anger 2. Mis-management of heightened client emotions and advisor fear 3. Lawyers digging to find a process not followed or details not disclosed 4. Reasonable basis being easily argued against by lawyers 5. Heavy financial and time costs once a complaint is made 6. Terminal brand damage www. financialdna. com
