    + Q&A




2
Lets make sense of all of this:




3
Mergers




4
Investments




5
What Does This Mean for Asset Managers?




6

    + Rising National Accounts
    + Producing Alpha
    + Winning Because of Segmentation

8
Pop Quiz: Does this sound familiar?

                      + 20,000 advisors ~8% market share
                      + $2.5 T client assets




                      + 86% US Household penetration
                      + 8% market share of non auto retail sales
                             1 in 12 dollars is spent here!



9
National Accounts Implications




           How is the role of the Key Accounts team evolving?


10
Product Implications




      How will Asset Managers be able to consistently produce alpha?
           How will larger firms broaden their product offerings?



11
Segmentation Implications




12
Use Segmentation to Improve Distribution
     + What often separates the success of two large-cap mutual funds:




     + Distribution, not performance, should be viewed as firms key differentiator
            Only 36% of firms cited distribution as critical to combating margin pressure
            The greatest untapped opportunity to improve distribution is segmentation

                 We are focused on attacking territories with a scoped rifle
                                   versus a shotgun.


13
Use Segmentation to Improve Distribution
     + In todays environment, distributors have the upper hand
            Distributors have reduced basis points paid to manufacturers by almost 50 percent
            For almost every distributor, 25-50 firms offering similar products are competing



     + Firms must look for newer, less competitive opportunities




14
Lets Make Sense of the Financial Crisis



     Advisors migrate to RIAs and Independent Firms




15
Use Segmentation to Improve Distribution
     + With improved targeting, how should firms allocate wholesaling resources?




16
Virtual Coverage




17
Global Implications




18

20
Global Implications
     + These mergers are creating global power houses:




                   What do Asset Managers have to do to get
                       access to their global distribution?


21
Challenging Times
     + Across the US Asset Management industry, margins are still high
            Average net profits are still around 30%


     + Why does distribution need to change?
            Mergers are forcing more centralized decision making at the distributors
            Mergers are creating global power houses
            Wholesaling is less effective with wires
            Advisors are migrating
            Traditional wholesaling structures are not scalable
            70% of advisors are untapped
