Advisors of UIM assist the client in determining his/her investment objective for the account and recommend an
appropriate portfolio or management style offered by the Third-Party Advisor. The Third-Party Advisor will buy and sell
stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETF’s or other marketable securities in the client’s account on a discretionary basis. UIM
shares in the management fee charged to the account as does the Third Party Advisory firm or firms selected.
UIM Advisor Managed Portfolios. UIM also offers a discretionary investment Advisory program where the UIM Advisor
assists the client in determining his/her investment objective for the account and recommends an appropriate customized
portfolio or management style with which to manage the account for an investment management fee. The UIM Advisor will
buy and sell stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETF’s or other marketable securities in the client’s account on a
discretionary basis. UIM receives the management fee charged to the account net of the transaction or asset-based fees
collected by the custodian. This program also offers the flexibility to exclude certain assets from the management fee, and
to exclude the UIM Advisor’s discretion from a position or certain positions in the portfolio, or certain accounts in the
household.
UIM works with clients to select investments suitable to their financial situation to help them accomplish their goals for the
future. Beginning with an analysis of long-term objectives, financial position and risk profile, we seek to achieve an asset
allocation and investment program to maximize the investor's return potential commensurate with their risk tolerance. A
client portfolio will usually include a customized mix of stocks, bonds, and exchange traded or mutual funds. We strongly
believe in asset class diversification and, when appropriate, will recommend adding alternative investments such
as
commodity indices, managed futures, private equity, and Real Estate Investment Trusts as a portion of the portfolio.
