Regulators are converging on a new model for
financial advice:
– Greater transparency
– Focus on total costs
– High standards of suitability assessment
– Conflicts of interest
– Quality of advisers
Cerruli Associates forecasts RIA market share of
advised assets will grow from 23% to 28% by
2020 from 2015 in US
Margins for fee-based advisers are growing, as
they begin to manage the flow of value within the
chain & integrate more services beyond ‘sales’ into
their models
Expectations of providers to improve transparency
have put pressure on pricing, at a time when
competition for flows is high and points of
differentiation beyond ‘performance’ are re-defining
the landscape

MIFID 2 is an advance on the
earlier MIFID of 2007,
strengthening in key areas
and focused on enhancing
customer outcomes while
increasing transparency
across the value chain
MIFID 2 will deliver
significant changes to
activities and relationships
between the sell-side and
the buy-side ‘upstream,’
including bundled
research, trade reporting,

For full details refer to MiFID 2 Section 2, Chapter II, articles 24 and 25
MiFID 2 will create new rules for national
regulators to implement in 5 areas that will
transform the distribution of investment funds
‘downstream’
1)Competence of advisers
2)Complexity of products for different
customer groups
3)Payment of ‘inducements’ to distributors by
product providers
4)Transparency of costs and services
5)Suitability of advice and products
National differences are likely to remain in how
changes are implemented in a number of areas
given the different structures of the retail markets
in different member states, BUT the high level
principles will be non-negotiable

MiFID 2 impacts specifically in five areas for distributors The outputs will likely challenge current business models
ESMA is designing
common minimum
standards for
qualifications and
experience that will
be required of all
advisers
These standards are
currently ‘in
consultation,’ but
some firms are
already examining
thousands of staff

Caixa and BBVA

The impact of MiFID 2 on the future of European fund distributionOur expectations

Most distributors will likely adopt ‘non-
independent’ status as their primary business
model
– They may, however, look to retain some ‘independent’
and/or discretionary management services for HNW and
legacy clients
Independent or non independent?01
Distributors may look to reduce the number of
providers and associated funds they work with
for new business
– This would enable distributors to ease the costs and
risks around product governance
– Transparency for CIPs is advantageous
Impact on providers02
There will likely be a significant shift towards
lower cost funds, with passive gaining share
– Distributors may prefer index funds over ETFs
Passive to gain03
Independents and DMS will likely move to
‘clean shares’ for all new business and press
for conversion on existing holdings
Their value proposition: ‘managed choice ’ with
high contact/personal service
However, implies higher total costs for clients (but
more revenue for distributors in UK example!)

Vertically integrated models allow for
transparency
Revenue sharing could encourage the use of own
brand funds (manufacturing outsourced to preferred
suppliers on special terms)
Passive included (“Sub-advisory / white-label”)
Vertical models05
Mass market customers will likely feed into
lite-touch (‘robo’) advice models
Simple products (multi-asset or index) on a ‘non-
independent’ basis only
Mass market retail06
All costs in the value chain will come under
scrutiny putting pressure on ‘excessive’
administrative fees, while potentially
encouraging growth in platforms

‘Sharing’

Key provider

Advantage to

providers
Largest distributors are likely to focus on fewer & deeper relationships with
manufacturers (Preferred Partnerships) offering business benefits beyond ‘just’ funds.
Commoditised ‘fund suppliers’ for case by case needs
Brand, scale, ability to bespoke, broad range of quality products, regulatory and
technical support, innovation, global reach, service culture and commercial flexibility
Providers that can service multi-dimensional distributors should have an advantage in
managing the scale and variety of service, support and communication needs of the
largest distributors

Lessons from the UK’s RDR
Effective from 1st January 2013
Intended to improve consumer
outcomes with greater clarity and
higher standards of advice
Banned product commission &
bundled charges
New, higher, standards of adviser
qualification
Applies to all retail packaged
products, including ETF’s
Fee based advice becomes
standard practice
Subsequent Distribution trends
50% of adviser assets are held via
platforms, with 70.8% of new advisory
business being made via platforms in
20151
Platforms confirm by 2016 up to 80% of
new business is feeding into model
portfolios (source Defaqto Oct 2016)
Evolution of new more ‘vertically
integrated’ national advice firms, with a
dedicated investment proposition
Client segmentation adopted to
differentiate offering for separate client
groups, with FCA encouragement
Growth in Passive and Centralised
Investment Propositions
Tracker funds saw net retail sales
increased by 81% (£48bn) and their
overall share of industry funds under
management has grown from 9% to
12.3%*

Partnership in passives
20
Key success factors for passive managers
Cost
The TERs of our pooled fund ranges must be in line with the leading market participants. Our aim is to match the pricing of our competitors,
particularly for products attracting the largest share of wallet
In order to build scale, we will consider aggressive pricing proposals for strategic partnerships
We will seek budget to subsidize administrative expenses for small funds
Scale
Scale is critical to ensure that clients perceive HSBC as a credible player in this space. Scale helps reduce fund operating costs to more
reasonable levels
Our aim is to build scale through the appropriate pooling of internal assets and through the pursuit of external client partnerships on
commercially favourable terms
Transition
services
We do not intend to create a separate transition management team. However, we will recognise the importance of a smooth transition
management and are looking to build a clear and robust transition proposition for new clients, potentially partnering with an external provider
We will also request budget to support the appropriate expenses related to client transitions to our funds
Fund range
We must have a comprehensive range of core strategies on the shelf in order to meet the expectations of clients. Specialised strategies will
complement our core offering and differentiate our passive capability as a whole
In terms of product, we currently have a strong ETF range and expect to have a comprehensive offering on the CCF by the end of 2017
For the new pooled fund platform, we propose to start with around 10 equity and FI funds, growing the range with regular product launches to
match client demand
Tax efficient
solutions
Tax impact is an important component of client cost considerations, as they can lead to significant under or outperformance in a passive fund
The CCF and Irish pooled fund ranges will ensure that we meet the needs of clients across locations and segments
Performance
Performance is a key driver for institutional client segments. The less sophisticated a client is, the less performance is a driver for investment
Our passive equity pooled overall score well in terms of both tracking difference and tracking error, with some exception like MSCI World and
MSCI EM, which are being addressed by the team
Due to the differences in construction of the different funds, funds with a dilution levy like the ETF and the CCF, will have a better
performance. Large AUM may eliminate this differential over time
Securities
lending
We can support securities lending for Institutional clients in segregated mandates or in the CCF
For retail-oriented opportunities, we will enhance our communication to show a clear apples-to-apples comparison of our proposal with
competitors who use securities lending in their funds

Partnership in passivesHSBC offers client solutions
Key features
passive
Passive funds are commoditised and easily comparable products
Cost , product features and diversity in exposures key differentiation factors
Scale is key for providers as they need to achieve economies of scale to be profitable
Market
Developments
Established passive managers at an advantage as they already have platforms and scale
Wealth managers are starting to include passive funds in their offering and pushing for price savings
versus active
Why partner –
wealth managers
Partnering up with a passive manager helps wealth manager
– to show their value add by developing an offering tailor made for their investor base, with best in class pricing
product features and unique exposures
– to participate in the revenue of the passive offering
Types of
partnership –
examples
Passive portfolio management and product structuring expertise only – for managers with existing
platform but no passive expertise
