These forward-looking statements are based on the Company's historical performance and its plans, estimates and expectations as of June 10, 2015. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees that the future results, plans, intentions or expectations expressed or implied by the Company will be achieved. Matters subject to forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including economic, legislative, regulatory, competitive and other factors, which may cause actual financial or operating results, levels of activity, or the timing of events to be materially different than those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include: changes in general economic and financial market conditions, including retail investor sentiment; fluctuations in the value of advisory and brokerage assets; fluctuations in levels of net new advisory assets and the related impact on fee revenue; effects of competition in the financial services industry; changes in the number of the Company's financial advisors and institutions, their ability to market effectively financial products and services, and the success of the Company’s initiatives designed to engage them; the Company's strategy in managing program fees; changes in the growth of the Company's fee-based business; finalization and implementation of the Department of Labor’s proposed fiduciary rule; the effect of current, pending and future legislation, regulation and regulatory actions, including disciplinary actions imposed by federal or state securities regulators or selfregulatory organizations; the costs of settling and remediating issues related to pending or future regulatory matters; changes in interest rates and fees payable by banks participating in the Company's cash sweep programs, including the Company's success in negotiating agreements with current or additional counterparties; the performance of third party service providers to which business processes are transitioned from the Company; the Company’s success in negotiating and developing commercial arrangements with third party technology providers that will enable the Company to realize the improvements and efficiencies expected to result from such technology, including with respect to supervision and oversight of advisor activities; the Company’s ability to control operating risks, information technology systems risks and sourcing risks; the Company's success in integrating the operations of acquired businesses; and the other factors set forth in Part I, “Item 1A.

3) NOTICES NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Adjusted Earnings represent net income before: (a) employee share-based compensation expense, (b) amortization of intangible assets resulting from various acquisitions, (c) debt extinguishment costs, (d) restructuring and conversion costs, (e) equity issuance and related offering costs and (f) other. Reconciling items are tax effected using the income tax rates in effect for the applicable period, adjusted for any potentially non-deductible amounts. Adjusted Earnings per share represents Adjusted Earnings divided by weighted average outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis. The Company prepares Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings per share to eliminate the effects of items that it does not consider indicative of its core operating performance. The Company believes these measures provide investors with greater transparency by helping illustrate the underlying financial and business trends relating to results of operations and financial condition and comparability between current and prior periods. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization), further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash charges and other adjustments. The Company presents adjusted EBITDA because the Company considers it a useful financial metric in assessing the Company's operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that the Company believes are not representative of its core business, such as certain material non-cash items and other adjustments that are outside the control of management. Adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA are not measures of the Company's financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or earnings per share or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of profitability or liquidity. In addition, adjusted EBITDA can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate, and capital investments. You can find additional related information, including a reconciliation of such non-GAAP measures for the year ended December 31, 2014 within the Company’s Annual Report, under "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—How We Evaluate Our Business." A reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings to GAAP measures is also set forth in the Appendix to this presentation. Gross Profit is calculated as net revenues less production expenses. Production expenses consist of the following expense categories from the Company’s consolidated statements of income: (i) commission and advisory and (ii) brokerage, clearing, and exchange. All other expense categories, including depreciation and amortization, are considered general and administrative in nature. Because the Company’s gross profit amounts do not include any depreciation and amortization expense, the Company considers its gross profit amounts to be nonGAAP measures that may not be comparable to those of others in its industry CHANGE IN BASIS OF PRESENTATION In the first quarter of 2015, the Company reclassified certain non-networked brokerage assets as associated with its Hybrid RIA firms rather than its corporate RIA platform. The Company’s Financial Supplement presentation for the first quarter of 2015 was revised subsequent to its original posting on April 30, 2015 to reflect such reclassification. Specifically, on page 13 of the revised presentation, “Brokerage Assets Associated with Hybrid RIAs” and “Total Hybrid RIA Firm Assets” for the four quarters of 2014 (but not the first quarter of 2015) were updated to reclassify certain non-networked brokerage assets as associated with Hybrid RIA firms rather than the Company’s corporate RIA platform. As a result, the reported amount of brokerage assets associated with Hybrid RIA firms for the first quarter of 2014 increased from $31.4 million to $35.3 million and the reported amount of total Hybrid RIA firms assets serviced increased from $69.6 million to $73.5 million, with corresponding reductions in previously reported year-over-year growth from 53.2% to 36.3%, in the case of brokerage assets, and 50.6% to 42.6%, in the case of total assets.

29) ICA bank spread outlook  Certain ICA bank contracts established in 2008 provide fees that are above market. As these contracts gradually reset to market rates, the weighted average bank spread over FFER has and will continue to decline  If FFER remains flat in 2015, the result would be a ~$20 mm revenue and EBITDA headwind based on 1Q15 cash balances  We expect a ~22 bps step-down in our bank spread in Q1 2016  The anticipated 2016 ending bank spread is approximately within the range of current market rates  As interest rates rise, we may incur additional interest expense related to our loan facilities Beginning of  the Year Bank  Spread Current  FFER 2015 10 2016 10 + + 45 33 = = Beginning  ICA Fee1 Estimated  Bank Spread  Compression2 Estimated  Ending  ICA Fee1 FFER needed to  achieve 185 bps ICA  target fee 3,4 EBITDA upside from  rise in interest rate ($mm)5 ~55 ~13 ~42 ~270 ~$290 ~42 ~22 ~20 ~315 ~$330 1 The ICA fee is based on average balances for the prior four quarters inclusive of Q1’15 and assumes a flat FFER of 10 basis points.
