B. Types of Advisory Services
Portfolio Management Services
FRG offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals,
objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. FRG creates an investment
profile for each client, which outlines the client’s current situation (income, tax levels,
and risk tolerance levels) and then constructs a plan to aid in the selection of a portfolio
that matches each client's specific situation. Portfolio management services include, but
are not limited to, the following:
•Investment strategy •Personal investment goals
•Asset selection•Asset allocation
•Risk tolerance
•Options
•Regular portfolio monitoring
FRG evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance
levels and time horizon. FRG will request discretionary authority from clients in order to
select securities and execute transactions without permission from the client prior to
each transaction. Risk tolerance levels are documented in the investment profile, which
is given to each client.
FRG seeks to provide that investment decisions are made in accordance with the
fiduciary duties owed to its accounts and without consideration of FRG’s economic,
investment or other financial interests. To meet its fiduciary obligations, FRG attempts to
avoid, among other things, investment or trading practices that systematically
advantage or disadvantage certain client
portfolios, and accordingly, FRG’s policy is to
seek fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities/transactions among its
clients to avoid favoring one client over another over time. It is FRG’s policy to allocate
investment opportunities and transactions it identifies as being appropriate and prudent
among its clients on a fair and equitable basis over time.
Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments
FRG generally limits its investment advice to mutual funds, fixed income securities,
equities, ETFs and non-U.S. securities. FRG may use other securities as well to help
diversify a portfolio when applicable.
C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
FRG will tailor a program for each individual client. This will include an interview
session to get to know the client’s specific needs and requirements as well as a plan that
will be executed by FRG on behalf of the client. FRG may use model allocations together
with a specific set of recommendations for each client based on their personal
restrictions, needs, and targets. Clients may impose restrictions in investing in certain
securities or types of securities in accordance with their values or beliefs. However, if the
restrictions prevent FRG from properly servicing the client account, or if the restrictions
would require FRG to deviate from its standard suite of services, FRG reserves the right
to end the relationship.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
A wrap fee program is an investment program where the investor pays one stated fee
that includes management fees, transaction costs, and certain other administrative fees.
FRG does not participate in wrap fee programs.
