B. Our Advisory Services
SGWM recommends various investment products and services through its investment adviser representatives and
through third-party sub-advisors .in accordance with each client’s individual investment objectives, financial resources
and individual needs. SGWM provides investment advisory services on both a discretionary and non-discretionary
basis to high-net-worth individuals and institutions. We recommend a selection of various investment products,
including fixed income and equities, and services through its investment adviser representatives, financial planners and
portfolio managers and through third parties sub-advisers. Our investment plans take into consideration the degree of
risk tolerance for each client, and the client’s need for diversification, liquidity, capital accumulation and tax reduction.
We monitor clients’ portfolios on a continuous basis and recommend changes if appropriate to maintain the objectives
and policies of the account.
C. Custom Advisory Services
SGWM also offers customized financial planning services and develops customized financial plans based on the needs
and circumstances of clients who request this service. Financial planning advice typically involves providing a variety of
services, principally advisory in nature, to individuals, businesses or families regarding the management of their
financial resources based upon an analysis of their individual needs. SGWM uses outside research analytics (e.g.,
Morningstar and Dorsey Wright) and the financial planning tools available through, RBC /TradePMR or Pershing. An
investment proposal is then developed for the client, which usually includes general recommendations for a course of
activity or specific actions suggested to the client. For example, recommendations may be made for the client to (1)
change the investment allocation of the client’s portfolio, (2) obtain insurance or revise existing coverage, (3) establish
an individual retirement account and/or (4) invest funds in securities. The client retains absolute discretion over all
implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject any recommendation in financial planning matters.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
We offer a wrap fee program (the “Program”) as further described in Part 2A, Appendix 1 (the “Wrap Fee Program
Brochure”). Our wrap fee accounts are managed on an individualized basis according to the client’s investment
objectives, financial goals, risk tolerance, etc. We do manage wrap fee accounts in the same manner as we provide to
our non-wrap fee accounts. As further described in our Wrap Fee Program Brochure, we receive a portion of the wrap
fee for our services. Wrap fee clients will not incur transaction costs for trades executed by the custodian for the
Program. Wrap fee clients, however, will pay the following separately incurred expenses and fees: charges imposed
directly by a mutual fund, index fund, or exchange traded fund, all of which are disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (i.e.,
fund management fees and other fund expenses). Our firm does not receive any part of these separately incurred
expenses and fees for fund investments.
As a result of our agreement with Trade PMR, RBC and Pershing LLC to pay for trading expenses in a Program account,
we have a financial incentive not to place transactions in those accounts since doing so increases transaction costs.
Thus, an incentive exists to place trades less frequently in a wrap fee arrangement. However, we generally recommend
transactions based on the best interest of the client.
The client should review all fees charged by SGWM, funds and others to fully understand the total amount of fees paid
for investment and financial-related services. Clients participating in the Wrap Fee Program may pay higher or lower
fees than clients receiving such services separately, depending on the cost of services if provided separately and the
level of trading in a particular client’s account. SGWM will monitor and review the initial or ongoing selection of a wrap
fee program account or a non-wrap account as part of its investment strategy review process. However, clients are
reminded that they should select an account that is appropriate for them.
