Why DFM? A Brief Reminder59PersonalInfluenceTailoredAccessFlexibleAn aspirationalservicePersonal relevanceAdapt to change in circumstancesManaging returns net of taxWhy Flexibility Is Important?60

60Busting Myths61A discretionary investment manager will steal my clientIf I introduce a client to a DFM, Ill struggle to justify my role and ongoing feesOnce a client is introduced to a DFM, its hard to move them back outDiscretionary management is expensiveClients have to be very wealthy to qualify for a DFM serviceA discretionary investment manager will steal my clientWhat does a DFM gain by not having a financial planner involved?You have more chance of being sacked by your client if you fail to monitor performance and suitability of the DFM

Discretionary management is expensiveFocus should be on value not price its a service and if this satisfies the clients objectives best, then it is a cost the client is willing to pay.Understand the full costs DFM buying power on collectives and use of direct securities will reduce the overall cost to client.

Clients have to be very wealthy to qualify for a DFM serviceFully bespoke discretionary services can be accessed from 100,000.Consolidation exercise of previous years ISAs or clients pension pots will easily see them meet these entry thresholds and facilitate active management of these funds.

I struggle to justify my role and ongoing fees if I introduce a client to a DFMNot so. You simply change the dynamic of your client relationship to one of sitting alongside them and monitoring the performance and suitability of the chosen DFM to meeting the clients objectives and planning strategy.

Once a client is introduced to a DFM, its hard to move them back outDFMs follow TCF Principles No barriers to exit.In-specie transfer route permits the movement of a portfolio elsewhere without selling off the portfolio.Any fees to move should be transparent.
