Financial Planning
Our clients have diverse objectives and goals, ranging from financial stability, capital growth, retirement
planning and providing for subsequent generations. 5CCM’s comprehensive services include but are not limited
to:
• The management of non-retirement and retirement assets;
• Trust management and entity planning;
• Liquid asset and business interest transfers;
• Charitable giving; and
• Tax and estate planning.
We work with clients to establish an investment policy which establishes the time horizon during which their
investment capital will be most needed, determines relevant contribution rates and timing thereof and provides
timely analysis of financial markets and economic trends that may affect their investments. We review and
recommend strategies to clients with charitable interests to meet their philanthropic goals and obtain related tax
benefits.
Most importantly, we are Fiduciaries to our clients; their interests come first. Our recommendations are
driven by independent research and process. 5CCM’s investment and planning principles are rooted in
the belief that trust in our stewardship should result in long-term investment returns commensurate with
risk assumed.
We offer financial planning and consulting advisory services through analysis of your specific requirements.
These services include review of:
1) Investment portfolio and tax efficient process for the implementation of recommendations;
2) Net worth;

3) Cash flow;
4) Individual and estate tax;
5) Life, disability and medical/group benefits insurance;
6) Retirement income and requirements;
7) Education expense; and
8) Estate planning.
Financial plans are based on your circumstance when the plan is prepared and upon the financial information
provided to us. The client should promptly notify us if their financial situation, goals, objectives and needs
change.
We may provide planning advice on the following matters: budgeting, liquid and illiquid options grants and
strategies, equity participation and other executive award plans. In addition, we provide guidance relating to
mortgage refinancing, employment separation, pension plan/Social Security/Medicare elections and inflation-
hedging strategies.
We charge an hourly fee of $400 - $500 for a financial planner's services and $175 per hour for planning support
staff services. Depending on a project’s size and scope, our fee may be separately negotiated. We may reduce our
financial planning and/or consulting fees if you engage 5CCM for asset management and/or related advisory
services.
Our fees are due the
first day of the month following the performance of services and are not refundable.
You may terminate the financial planning agreement by providing written notice to our firm. You will incur a
pro rata charge for services rendered prior to the agreement’s termination.
Investment Management
We offer discretionary investment management services. Accumulating savings for short-term goals is often as
important as long-term planning. Whether starting a new business venture, educating a child or building your
“rainy day fund”, we seek to provide you with an effective investment strategy to achieve these goals.
Our investment process begins with a detailed review of your specific circumstance and goals. We integrate near
and long-term investment goals, risk tolerance and tax and planning considerations when designing and
implementing a cost effective, institutionally custodied portfolio.
We continuously research and track performance of our current investment strategies. In addition, we research
and monitor numerous investment strategies not currently utilized. These strategies provide comparative data
to our portfolio and may become components of our portfolio if we conclude that risk adjusted, cost effective
benefits warrant their inclusion.
Asset Allocation
We provide periodic asset allocation review wherein portfolios are rebalanced on at least a calendar basis and
more frequently as circumstances require. With your consent, we are typically granted discretionary authority to
manage, trade, review and rebalance your accounts.
If we enter into a Non-Discretionary arrangement with you, we will make recommendations, in accordance with
your stated financial objectives and will obtain your consent prior to rebalancing the account. You are entitled
to accept or reject our recommendations at all times and are solely responsible for implementing
recommended changes to your account if you have not granted us discretion over your investment

account.
Either party may terminate the client agreement at any time. You will incur a pro rata charge
for services rendered prior to such termination.
Types of Investments and Philosophy
Asset allocation, portfolio and tax structure are core to the investment services we provide to our clients.
5CCM is an independent Registered Investment Adviser; as such it is not required to invest in any specific
security, mutual fund or proprietary offering. This flexibility enables us to choose from a wide range of
unconstrained investments that we believe will meet our client's objectives.
We initially construct a detailed profile of our client's financial situation. Based on the information provided by
the client and our independent research, we determine a range of investment returns that will allow the client to
meet their stated goals. We construct our portfolios with a carefully selected mix of institutional mutual funds,
separately managed accounts, exchange traded funds and notes (ETFs and ETNs) and individual securities (e.g.
individual bonds and equities). Prior to making any investment of client capital, the investment strategy must be
approved by the client.
We seek to mitigate risk through investment in low-correlated asset classes; our goal is to buffer client portfolios
from major downward moves in a single asset class. We rebalance portfolios on a discretionary basis in order
to capture investment and tax benefits.
You may request that we refrain from investing in particular securities or certain types of securities. Such
request must be provided to 5CCM in writing.
