UMB Financial Services, Inc. offers two different tracks for investment support

Investing in a Brokerage Account

Our financial professional will prepare your consultation agenda to ensure the conversation is efficient and comprehensive. We will review your financial profile from all angles, from risk management and long-term timelines, to financial goals and challenges, and will provide recommendations on a transaction by transaction basis. Whether you prefer once a year review, quarterly check-ins or as-needed interactions, your financial professional will be available to guide you.

A brokerage account may be right for you if you:

  • Are looking for recommendations and guidance about specific transactions
  • Anticipate infrequent or few trades and transactions
  • Prefer fees based on transactions rather than asset size

Investing in an Advisory Account

Our Managed Account Solutions program combines the rigorous research of our team with an advisor experience to help you map out every inch of your future financial plan. Our customized investment advisory service can help you decide what investments will help you work toward meeting your financial goals. Your Managed Account experience includes access to a wide variety of mutual funds, proprietary research, and ongoing investment advice from your personal advisor — giving you the opportunity and information to make savvy investment decisions.

A managed account may be right for you if you:

  • Prefer ongoing support, guidance and account rebalancing
  • Anticipate a higher frequency of trading
  • Prefer fees based on asset size rather than transactions

    UMB Managed Account Solution program fees are charged in advance on a quarterly basis. When an account is opened, the fee is deducted from your account assets for the remainder of the current billing period and is based on the initial contribution. Thereafter, the deducted fee is based upon your recent account value during the previous calendar quarter. Fees may be negotiable based on the client’s total relationship with UMB. Either party has the option to close the UMBFSI client contract at any time upon receipt of written notice. If an account is closed, a prorated portion of prepaid fees will be refunded to you.

However, Mutual Funds remain subject to the internal expenses described in each Fund prospectus’ expense table and, depending upon the Fund, may also impose short-term redemption fees or surcharge fees. Those fund management fees are not included in the fees identified above. Investment Managers available in the MAS Program often charge manager fees, which are included as part of the Program Fee identified on a client’s Statement of Investment Selection. Please discuss all fees and costs with your Financial Advisor to identify whether a manager fee applies to your account.
