Unified Managed Accounts (UMA), a form of Open Architecture
(OA), is an increasingly popular investment option for wealth managers.
Unfortunately, understanding how a UMA offering impacts your wealth management
revenues and profits can be a very time-consuming and complex matter. For
example, here is a short list of questions that you must answer when providing
an UMA platform to your clients:
- How
do the various UMA platforms affect our cost structure?
- What
is the best UMA fee structure (unbundle, wrap,
flat, etc.) for our business?
- How
do various client portfolio mix scenarios affect our revenues/profits?
- How
does our UMA pricing and service compare to our competitors' offerings?
- Which
UMA vendor platform(s) work best for us and our clients?
- Can
UMA be used to improve our substandard fee condition?
- Should
UMA be used as an offensive or defensive strategy by our organization?
- How
do we continuously track our revenue and profitability results to ensure a
successful UMA program?

organizations to model, analyze, optimize, and report on their fee revenues and
profitability for over 25 years. We can provide detailed, accurate
