UBS Advisors Ask...

UPDATED FOR 2022:

Answers to the most frequently asked questions when considering a transition from UBS

The UBS platform seems to be the strongest in terms of the availability of managers and competitiveness of manager pricing. Is manager pricing higher elsewhere? Will I have to swap out managers if I changed firms?

What if my clients rely upon the UBS network of trust companies? Do other firms offer trust services?

How does technology at UBS compare to the technology found at other firms or in the independent space?

How do I access a sophisticated alternatives platform like I have at UBS?

How do I replicate the UBS consumer and commercial credit and lending capabilities?

Do other firms have programs comparable to ALFA? The enhanced ALFA program seems like it’s the best succession deal on the Street.

UBS is no longer part of the Broker Protocol; what does that mean to me?

If I decide to leave UBS, what happens to my deferred compensation?

UBS has a strong cash grid and team compensation structure. How does it compare to other payout structures on the Street?

I like that UBS is the “boutique” within the wirehouse world. Will I lose this “culture” if I move elsewhere?

Since the pandemic, my team and I enjoy the flexibility to work remotely. What are other firm’s policies?

Many UBS advisors, like you, may be exploring your options with another firm or maybe even another model. And much like your colleagues, you may find yourself getting stuck in the weeds, searching for answers to questions…questions that are likely asked and answered far more often than you realize.

For instance, you may find yourself wondering how you will replicate the features and competitive pricing you have with UBS’ platforms such as ACCESS, Strategic Advisor and Strategic Wealth Portfolio. Or your ability to conduct extensive research as you currently do in PMP and PACE. Maybe it’s concerns about losing your hard-earned deferred comp or the potential that lies in UBS’ ALFA program.

In an effort to fill those knowledge gaps – and help you make a proactive and informed decision around whether to stay with UBS or consider other opportunities – we’ve gathered the top questions and answered them using the combined knowledge of our team and other industry experts, as well as information derived from both former and current UBS advisors.

Above is just a small sample of the questions included in this resource. For the complete list – and the answers – just fill out the form.
