. . . providing existing and potential wealth management / trust department service providers with unbiased assistance


Feasibility Studies

Our feasibility study services are designed to provide you with all information needed to reach a fully-informed and unbiased decision relative to the potential introduction of these services.

Depending upon their unique needs, existing wealth management services providers also benefit from TRC’s feasibility study process, as select elements of a feasibility study can frequently be of assistance in examining current services and considering strategies for the future. This web site also contains a separate section of particular interest to existing wealth management services providers.

We recognize that the consideration of fiduciary services (trust / asset management /wealth management) is most frequently a step in a new direction for our clients and our studies provide them with a thorough introduction to the industry and a realistic examination of the potential for these services at their institution.

A feasibility study for your institution would commence with the completion and submission of a detailed questionnaire. This questionnaire provides us with all information needed to prepare a thorough and appropriate study. When thoughtfully executed, we have little reason to interrupt your schedule with additional questions during the feasibility study engagement, although we keep you updated throughout the process.

A written report is submitted upon completion of the engagement and while specific to your institution, would typically contain:

An analysis of the demographics of the markets you serve
Our interpretation of the attractiveness of those markets for trust and asset management services
Identification of those markets in which we would suggest you concentrate your trust and asset management marketing efforts, should you determine to introduce those services
A complete analysis of your potential bank competition
The examination of your state, local, and national wealth management banking industries
Specific suggestions relative to services that would be appropriate given the specifics of the demographic and competitive findings 
Complete ten-year financial projections, reflecting realistic expectations for your institution
Our unbiased recommendation relative to the potential introduction of these services at your institution

Following submission of our written implementation engagement report, a representative will make an on-site PowerPoint presentation of our findings and recommendations. This important element of our feasibility study engagement allows you to ask questions and receive the benefits of our hands-on experience in the trust and asset management field.
