Advice & Wealth Management
Our Advice & Wealth Management segment provides financial planning and advice, as well as full-service brokerage
services, primarily to retail clients through our advisors. Our advisors have access to a diversified selection of both affiliated
and non-affiliated products to help clients meet their financial needs. A significant portion of revenues in this segment is
fee-based, driven by the level of client assets, which is impacted by both market movements and net asset flows. We also
earn net investment income on invested assets primarily from certificate products. This segment earns revenues
(distribution fees) for distributing non-affiliated products and earns intersegment revenues (distribution fees) for distributing
our affiliated products and services to our retail clients. Intersegment expenses for this segment include expenses for
investment management services provided by the Asset Management segment.
In addition to purchases of affiliated and non-affiliated mutual funds and other securities on a stand-alone basis, clients
may purchase mutual funds, among other securities, in connection with investment advisory fee-based ‘‘wrap account’’
programs or services, and pay fees based on a percentage of their assets.
