PAM Group offers the following advisory services to our clients: INVESTMENT SUPERVISORY SERVICES ("ISS") INDIVIDUAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT Our firm provides continuous advice to a client regarding the investment of client funds based on the individual needs of the client. Through personal discussions, we determine a client’s investment objectives and risk tolerance, then develop a client's personal investment policy and manage the client’s portfolio in accordance with that policy. We manage client portfolios in accordance with investment models which correspond to our client's stated objectives (i.e., aggressive growth, growth, growth with income, balanced, income with growth, income, or capital preservation), as well as tax considerations. Once the client's portfolio has been established, we review the portfolio at least annually, and if necessary, rebalance the portfolio, based on the client's individual needs. We implement investment advice on behalf of certain clients in held-away accounts that are maintained at independent third-party custodians. These held-away accounts are often 401(k) accounts, 529 plans and other assets that are not held at our primary custodian(s). Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of securities, or industry sectors. Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific security types, but generally include mutual funds, ETFs (exchange-traded securities), individual stocks and individual bonds. Where we believe it to be in the client’s best interest and consistent with the client’s desire and risk tolerance, we recommend alternative investments such as investments in hedge funds, private equity funds, real estate investments and investment in structured notes. Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only be implemented/recommended when consistent with the client's stated investment objectives, tolerance for risk, liquidity, and suitability. MONITORING AND REPORTING SERVICES We offer monitoring and reporting services (“Monitoring Services”) for client Accounts. These services include reviewing client accounts, performance and holdings information received from third parties and providing consolidated reports based on information provided by third parties.

We will review the client's current financial condition and make recommendations based on client's current financial situation, expectations, investment objectives and time horizon. At the same time, the client's risk tolerance (or ability to live comfortably with risk in association with their investments) will be considered. It is the responsibility of the client to notify us of any changes to their financial situation that impact the focus of the financial plan. When providing financial planning advice, we do not serve as attorneys or accountants. Should the client choose to implement the recommendations contained in the plan, we suggest the client work closely with his/her attorney, accountant, insurance agent, and/or investment manager. Implementation of financial plan recommendations is entirely at the client's discretion. Typically, the financial plan is presented to the client within 90 days of the contract date, provided that all information needed to prepare the plan has been promptly provided. Financial Planning recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a broker-dealer or insurance company. All recommendations are of a generic nature.
