Expand As a result, FINRA, the independent regulatory body for U.S. securities firms, launched an investigation of cross-selling practices at 14 broker-dealers, with a spokeswoman recently stating that: “In light of recent issues related to cross-selling, FINRA is focused on the nature and scope of broker-dealers’ cross-selling activities and whether they are adequately supervising these activities by their registered employees to protect investors.” That experience can translate into an increase in the customer's perceived value and an increased Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)—the total contribution a customer makes to a company.
Companies are 60-70% more likely to sell to an existing customer, whereas the likelihood of selling to a new customer is 5-20%. In the financial services industry, examples of cross-selling include selling different types of investments or products to investors or tax preparation services to retirement planning clients. Until the 1980s, the financial services industry was easy to navigate, with banks offering savings accounts, brokerage firms selling stocks and bonds, credit card companies pitching credit cards, and life insurance companies selling life insurance.

A financial plan is a document containing a person's current money situation and long-term monetary goals, as well as strategies to achieve those goals. The main elements of a financial plan include a retirement strategy, a risk management plan, a long-term investment plan, a tax reduction strategy, and an estate plan. Whether you're going it alone or with a financial planner, the first step in the creation of a financial plan involves getting together a lot of bits of paper or, more likely these days, cutting and pasting numbers from various web-based accounts into a document or spreadsheet.
The following steps in creating a financial plan may, of course, be completed by an individual or a couple. **Retirement strategy**: No matter what your priorities are, the plan should include a strategy for accumulating the retirement income you need.

Investment advice is any advice that provides guidance, for a fee, on assets for investment purposes for an individual or institution.

Investment advice is any recommendation or guidance that attempts to educate, inform, or guide an investor regarding a particular investment product or series of products. Many professionals, including financial planners, bankers, and brokers, can provide investors with investment advice specific to their financial situation and short- and long-term financial goals. Investment advice can be professional—that is, the investor pays a fee in exchange for the qualified professional's guidance and expertise, as seen with financial planners—or it can be amateur, as with specific internet blogs, chat rooms, or even conversations. Due to the vast amount of investment advice available, particularly online, an investor may wish to determine the person's qualifications dispensing the advice before making any investments. Entities that provide information for reference sake about the financial markets or specific assets might make an effort to clarify that they are not representing the information specifically as investment advice.

Open architecture refers to a financial institution's capacity to offer clients both proprietary and third party offerings.

Those considering investing via an open architecture platform should consider the fact that open architecture has no legal definition and no regulation so it can be ripe for abuse.
For example, one downside of open architecture is that some firms increase the costs for investors to purchase outside funds to encourage investment in their own funds, a practice called “guided architecture.” Open architecture ensures that a client can satisfy all their financial needs and that the investment firm can act in each client’s best interests by recommending the financial products best suited to that client, even if they are not proprietary products. Open architecture makes it possible for investors and their advisers to select the best funds available and obtain the best potential investment performance given their needs and risk tolerance. Open architecture also helps investors obtain better diversification and possibly reduce risk by not placing their entire future investment returns in the hands of a single investment firm and its approach.

The Bottom Line
A turnkey asset management program offers a fee-account technology platform that financial advisers, broker-dealers, insurance companies, banks, law firms, and CPA firms can use to oversee their clients’ investment accounts. Turnkey asset management programs are designed to help financial professionals save time and allow them to focus on providing clients with service in their areas of expertise, which may not include asset management tasks like investment research and portfolio allocation. Consider how the TAMP aligns with your investment strategy, the type of relationship the TAMP will have with your custodian, the fees the TAMP charges, if the TAMP works on your internal platform, what additional services does the TAMP provide, what is their support management like, and do they offer additional technology. By working with a third party, the user of a turnkey asset management program is giving up some control of some of the decision-making process, while also paying a fee for the service.
Delegating the role of asset manager to a TAMP can help financial professionals and firms to increase profitability by freeing up more time for tasks like attracting new clients and meeting with clients in person.
