communication. Working with clients to understand their investment objectives while educating them
about the Firm’s process, facilitates the kind of working relationship the Firm values.

continuously and regularly monitored, and if necessary, rebalanced based upon the client’s individual
needs, stated goals and objectives. Camelotta Advisors manages client investment portfolios on a
discretionary or non-discretionary basis upon client request, the Firm provides a summary of observations

The Firm provides advisory consulting services to clients for the management of financial resources based
upon an analysis of current situation, goals, and objectives. Advisory Consulting services will typically

Retirement Planning, Estate Planning, Charitable Planning, Education Planning, Corporate and Personal
Tax Planning, Real Estate Analysis, Mortgage/Debt Analysis, Insurance Analysis, Lines of Credit
Evaluation, or Business and Personal Consulting. Written financial plans or financial consultations rendered
to clients usually include general recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken
by the clients. Implementation of the recommendations will be at the discretion of the client. Camelotta
Advisors provides clients with a summary of their financial situation, and observations for advisory
consulting engagements. Financial consultations are not typically accompanied by a written summary of

typically completed within 6 months of the client signing a contract with our firm.
