OUR SERVICES

RETIREMENT CASH PRODUCTS

FDIC Insured cash products for 401k accounts wholesaling and participant education.

FDIC INSURED DEPOSIT SWEEP PROGRAMS

Both brokerage firms and large banks require a competent liaison to create a win-win strategy to provide clients’ deposits with FDIC insurance. CFO’s and Treasurers from both parties benefit from our involvement in the complex and competitive process of efficiently managing fees, risk and relationship details at all levels of the sweep process.

FINANCIAL PRODUCT & STRATEGY CONSULTING

Brokerage firms engage us for our proficiencies in financial product design, cash management expertise with a focus on FDIC Insured Sweep partnerships and complex strategic issues where banking and brokerage overlap. We also customize product trainings, offer seminars and work directly as a wholesaler to Financial Advisors in the areas of mutual funds, FDIC insurance sweeps, and securities based lending.

Our network of contacts includes major recordkeepers, 3(38) firms and more recently, Pooled Plan Providers.Of note HHR has been selected as Project Manager in the creation of an Advisor centric Pooled Employer Plan (PPP) where multiple BDs and RIAs can “white label” their own branded PPP using a set of common Masterplan elements. This project is ongoing and will soon enter the RFP stage for recordkeeper and 3(38) elements of the PPP.
