On the flip side, years where markets performed well showed that participants stayed happy with the status quo, thus leaving their assets in the plan. This data reconfirms the opportunity that exists for IRA providers to capture a share of the percentage of terminated DC assets, as the bulk of it represents the chance to collect those dollars in IRA packages. This is especially pronounced in years where market return has suffered significant losses overall. In those years, participants appear to be on the move with money increasing the pool of opportunity to capturing rollover dollars.

Advisors don t currently see many major obstacles to retirement income planning. The lack of consumer awareness and concerns about time consumption could very well lead this category for some time with advisors. Although advisors tentatively seek enhanced solutions in retirement income planning for clients, they are fairly happy with the way they create this income for client s today- dividend paying stocks and bond ladders.

Increasingly, the maestro behind the orchestra- 87 Products Advisors Use for Rollovers Advisors have an array of choices when it comes to parking their client s money into retail IRA rollover programs. However, the vast majority of Advisors chose mutual fund programs as the main destination for rollover monies. According to Cerulli data collected through the advisor membership of the Financial Planning Association, 78% always chose mutual funds as product for their client s rollover accounts. Of note to watch, exchange traded funds and separate accounts made a strong showing in the always category among advisors. In addition, advisor working with ultra high net worth clients are seeking the advantages of pricing and flexibility that high minimum balance separate accounts offer. However, much like in the 401(k) industry, ETFs and other alternative products have yet to truly dent the dominance of mutual funds in the respective industries.

To growth between 1980 and 2000 was 28% while the growth from 2000 to 2003 was 17%. Overall, it appears that prime groups for rollover opportunities, workers on the very cusp of traditional retirement ages of 65, are actually working longer. The resulting effect often slows the expected retiree rollover wave while simultaneous widening the base of rollover opportunity as these workers accumulate more assets in long standing DC accounts or new one started with a new job late in life.

11 REPORT SCOPE The reports sizes and trends the opportunities in the rollover marketplace with proprietary Cerulli data, including data from our Quarterly Retirement Surveys that gather regular data from IRA and DC providers in the marketplace. In addition, the report covers IRAs/Rollover from three key strategic constituencies to the rollover process: Manufacturers: CA collected data on best practices related to boosting retention, reaching consumers, product usage with a key look at managed accounts, constructing a profitable book of business and building beneficial partnerships with advisors. Distributors: CA captured data from hundreds of advisors exploring how rollovers impact their business and their needs as it relates to partnerships with providers and asset managers. Consumers/Investors: The data gathered here offers a new perspective from typical CA reporting by integrating consumer level financial data with rollover trends. We worked in conjunction with a new CA partner, Phoenix Marketing Group, to asses consumer level financial trends. This includes the typical time horizon on rollover opportunity, attitudes and behaviors in the rollover process, and measurements of the likelihood of money movement as retirement nears. Finally, CA places a bow on the data package with insightful perspectives on where rollover products work best and why through our rollover point of sale continuum diagram. We then map the asset manager opportunity by describing the movement of consumer retirement monies from institutional to retail markets over several key types of advisory services. Then CA offers a view point of the best practices in the rollover retirement industry with an outlook for the future of the marketplace. 8

12 METHODOLOGY The research in Cerulli s IRA Rollover and Retention report developed from a variety of primary and secondary sources, analyzing IRA rollovers, asset retention of those assets, and products and services that have staying power in the market. The primary qualitative research relied on phone-based interviews with leading industry providers. The major leaders in each channel were interviewed at length about their thoughts on the marketplace, the strategies that their firms employs with IRA rollovers, attitudes regarding retail investors and the advisors that service them and thoughts on the future on the marketplace. The primary quantitative data used survey results from the leading IRA providers. This Cerulli original research drew historical trends from nearly two years of tracking company IRA flows. In addition, for this report, the 1Q 2008 Quarterly Retirement Survey was lengthened to include additional IRA data collection pertinent for the report. Additionally, quantitative data for this report synched with survey data collected from hundreds of advisors through Cerulli s relationship with the Financial Planning Association. In addition, many secondary sources were used and cited to gather and interpret retail consumer trends including: Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finance, Health and Retirement Data from the National Center for Aging, SRI s MacroMonitor, and many more. 9

13 SAMPLE SECTION from THE CERULLI REPORT IRA ROLLOVER AND RETENTION: STRATEGIES AND POSITIONING

14 The importance of rollovers from DC plans to IRA providers cannot be overstated. Rollovers grew steadily to $293 billon by year-end These flows, which move more in line with demographic trends than with stock market performance, have grown steadily since Demographics play a vital role as a driver behind the growth of rollover numbers. CA surmises that the relatively slow growth of IRA rollovers is not entirely surprising. The large waves of Baby Boomers have yet to reach retirement ages or, for many of them, the attainment of age 59 1/2 for penalty-free withdrawals of their accumulated funds. In addition it appears that many Boomers are delaying retirement to hang onto key benefits associated with employment, namely health insurance and retirement savings plans with employer matches. Thus, tornadic rollover activity of increased retirements, layoffs or job hoping appears to be holding steady. However, recent market volatility, recessionary times and the fact that the oldest boomers are now eligible for early Social Security benefits could produce an acceleration in rollovers that may not abate for some time. EXHIBIT 30 ANNUAL NEW IRA ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS, ($ BILLIONS) $300 $ $199.9 $225.6 $187.8 $204.4 $205.0 $214.9 $244.3 $260.7 $ Sources: ICI, Cerulli Associates Cerulli projects the rollover marketplace on an aggregate level to gain steam in the coming years. At end of 2008, we anticipate new IRA rollovers into traditional IRA programs to increase by $135 billion to reach $451 billion by IRA rollover contributions are expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 7.4% between 2008 and This component of 49

15 building experiences with that technology to bring closeness to investors are what matter most. In contrast, a directional path away from this dividing line toward the direction of full advice enforces that the importance of the relationship between manufactures and advisors are the best pathway toward gaining rollovers in that directional path. It s important for assets managers and IRA providers on either side of the dividing to realize the line s existence know where their firm s legacy fits best and develop IRA rollover strategies, programs and solutions accordingly. Call Centers and Advice Cerulli asked asset managers and IRA providers to identify the best opportunities for building IRA rollover business. Many see advisory services delivered through call center representatives as a key component of rollover success.
