FMAX Affirmative Consent Letters – Update

As previously communicated, Affirmative Consent Letters were successfully mailed to impacted clients on September 8, 2025. Clients have been asked to respond no later than October 15, 2025.

We are pleased to share that this week we have seen a notable increase in the number of letters returned. Thank you for your continued partnership and support in helping clients complete and return their Consent to Assignment letters.

Tracking Returned Consent Letters

Returned Consent to Assignment letters are being tracked in Docupace. Advisors can use the system to identify which clients have completed this requirement.

  1. From the Dashboard, select Retrieve → Client
  2. Go to Client Documents → Form Name “Consent to Assignment” → Search
  3. A list of received Consent to Assignment letters will be generated. For tracking purposes, you may find it helpful to export this data to Excel.

Reminder – How to Confirm Which Clients Require Affirmative Consent

You can determine whether a particular client must provide affirmative consent by accessing the FMAX Transition – Positive Consent Impact List:

  1. Log in to Wealthscape
  2. Navigate to Menu → Reports & Alerts → Reports
  3. In the search bar, enter “FMAX”
  4. From the results, locate FMAX Transition – Positive Consent Impact List
  5. Click the drop-down arrow and then select View

Advisor Action

We encourage you to reach out directly to clients who are required to take action to ensure timely responses. If no consent is returned or alternative instructions provided, these clients will be contacted to discuss alternatives to the Illuminations platform and termination of the Illuminations advisory agreement. Advisors may also have such clients sign the consent form via Docupace and Docusign.
