Retail Broker Teams

As a retail broker team, there are often many issues that you face on a regular basis. Following is a list of typical situations that are faced along with an explanation of how Coughlin Associates can offer assistance.

  • Situation: Your firm’s research department is too transactionally oriented for your clients, and you need a longer term focus for equity investing
    • Coughlin Associates provides a disciplined approach that is well suited for the longer term
  • Situation: Your firm’s research recommendations are too frequent and too diffuse. You don’t have the time to create a stand-alone investment product for your clients, but you need one.
    • Coughlin Associates can provide you with a research product that offers a portfolio orientation and is custom designed to meet your individual needs for your client base
  • Situation: You are competing with the big trust banks for wealthy clients. How can you effectively compete with their institutionally driven investment products?
    • Barring Coughlin has driven the investment research and marketing processes for a number of major trust banks. He can help you develop and implement a similarly sophisticated process for you and your team
  • Situation: You want to start aggressively marketing to High Net Worth investors, and a package of good mutual funds won’t get you in the door.
    • Sophisticated, wealthy investors can have their pick of money managers around the country. Coughlin Associates can help you establish an individually invested portfolio product, with the quality, discipline and sophistication they expect in a money manager
  • Situation: Your fee-based clients don’t like the high fees from the wrap managers, but you can’t cut your fees, and the wrap managers won’t cut theirs.
    • With Coughlin Associates as a member of your investment team, you can manage individually invested portfolios in house at a surprisingly low cost, allowing you to lower your client fees while expanding your fees
  • Situation: You think investment returns are going to be fairly low over the next few years, but the fees for wrap managers or mutual funds are going to take a high percentage of those returns.
    • Investment research from Coughlin Associates is a fixed cost to you, and permits you to return a higher percentage of investment returns to your clients
