B. Types of Advisory Services
JKWAI offers the following services to advisory clients:
Portfolio Management Services
JKWAI offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals, objectives,
time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client.
Portfolio management services include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Investment strategy • Personal investment policy
• Asset allocation • Asset selection
• Risk tolerance • Regular portfolio monitoring
JKWAI evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance levels
and time horizon. JKWAI will request discretionary authority from clients in order to select
securities and execute transactions without permission from the client prior to each transaction.
JKWAI seeks to provide that investment decisions are made in accordance with the fiduciary
duties owed to its accounts and without consideration of JKWAI’s economic, investment or
other financial interests. To meet its fiduciary obligations, JKWAI attempts to avoid, among
other things, investment or trading practices that systematically advantage or disadvantage
certain client portfolios, and, accordingly, JKWAI’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 JKWAI’s policy to allocate investment opportunities and transactions it
identifies as being appropriate and prudent that might have a limited supply, among its clients
on a fair and equitable basis over time.
Financial Planning
Financial plans and financial planning may include but are not limited to investment planning;
life insurance; tax concerns; retirement planning; college planning; and debt/credit planning.
Referral of Third-Party Money Managers
SEI Asset Management Program
The SEI Asset Management Program (SEI Program) is an institutional asset allocation program
that JKWAI uses in the management of assets for client accounts. If you enroll in the SEI Asset
Management Program, JKWAI will assist you in the establishment of a SEI Program Account
(the Account) at SEI Private Trust Company (SEI). All Account transactions are processed and
cleared through SEI. The SEI Program uses asset allocation portfolios developed by SEI
Investments. The portfolios consist of SEI Family of Institutional Mutual Funds (Mutual Funds)
and other securities approved by SEI to be held in an account. The SEI Program uses the
Portfolio Managers selected and subject to oversight by SEI and who have entered into a sub-
advisory agreement with SEI.
JKWAI will provide SEI with the asset allocation policy that you select for your account. JKWAI
will direct SEI to reallocate your investments in accordance with your Asset Allocation Policy.
In addition, based on JKWAI instructions, SEI will rebalance the investments within your
account at least annually so that the market value of the shares of each mutual fund held in
your account is the same percentage of the total market value of your account as required by
your Asset Allocation Policy. SEI and its Portfolio Managers will have discretionary authority
over the assets and transactions in the Account. JKWAI will have discretionary authority to re-
allocate your portfolios among the various Portfolio Managers as needed. SEI has the authority
to replace a previously selected Portfolio Manager or SEI Fund without your prior approval.
Custody of all SEI Program Client Account assets is held at SEI Private Trust Company.
Retirement Plan Services
JKWAI offers retirement plan services to retirement plan sponsors and to individual
participants in retirement plans. For a corporate sponsor of a retirement plan, our retirement
plan services can include, but are not limited to, the following services:
Fiduciary Consulting Services

discretionary investment advice regarding assets classes and investment options,
consistent with your Plan’s investment policy statement.

investment advice to assist you with the development of qualified default investment
alternative(s) (“QDIA”), as defined in DOL Reg. Section 2550.404c-5(e)(4)(i), for
participants who are automatically enrolled in the Plan or who otherwise fail to make an
investment election. You will retain the sole responsibility to provide all notices to
participants required under ERISA section 404(c)(5).
• Individualized Participant Advice. Upon request, JKWAI will provide one-on-one
advice to Plan participants regarding their individual situations.
For Fiduciary Consulting Services, all recommendations of investment options and portfolios
will be submitted to you for your ultimate approval or rejection. For retirement plan Fiduciary
Consulting Services, the retirement plan sponsor client or the plan participant who elects to
implement any recommendations made by us is solely responsible for implementing all
transactions.
Fiduciary Consulting Services are not management services, and JKWAI does not serve as
administrator or trustee of the plan. JKWAI does not act as custodian for any client account or
have access to client funds or securities (with the exception of, some accounts, having written
authorization from the client to deduct our fees).
JKWAI acknowledges that in performing the Fiduciary Consulting Services listed above that it
is acting as a “fiduciary” as such term is defined under Section 3(21)(A)(ii) of Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) for purposes of providing non-discretionary
investment advice only. JKWAI will act in a manner consistent with the requirements of a
fiduciary under ERISA if, based upon the facts and circumstances, such services cause JKWAI to
be a fiduciary as a matter of law. However, in providing the Fiduciary Consulting Services,
JKWAI (a) has no responsibility and will not (i) exercise any discretionary authority or
discretionary control respecting management of Client’s retirement plan, (ii) exercise any
authority or control respecting management or disposition of assets of Client’s retirement plan,
or (iii) have any discretionary
authority or discretionary responsibility in the administration of
Client’s retirement plan or the interpretation of Client’s retirement plan documents, (b) is not an
“investment manager” as defined in Section 3(38) of ERISA and does not have the power to
manage, acquire or dispose of any plan assets, and (c) is not the “Administrator” of Client’s
retirement plan as defined in ERISA.
Non-Fiduciary Services
Although an investment adviser is considered a fiduciary under the Investment Advisers Act of
1940 and required to meet the fiduciary duties as defined by the Advisers Act, the services
listed here as non-fiduciary should not be considered fiduciary services for the purposes of
ERISA since Advisor is not acting as a fiduciary to the Plan as the term “fiduciary” is defined in
Section 3(21)(A)(ii) of ERISA. The exact suite of services provided to a client will be listed and
detailed in the Qualified Retirement Plan Agreement.
JKWAI provides clients with the following Non-Fiduciary Retirement Plan Consulting Services:
• Participant Education. JKWAI will provide education services to Plan participants
about general investment principles and the investment alternatives available under the
Plan. JKWAI’s assistance in participant investment education will be consistent with
and within the scope of DOL Interpretive Bulletin 96-1. Education presentations will not
take into account the individual circumstances of each participant and individual
recommendations will not be provided unless otherwise agreed upon. Plan participants
are responsible for implementing transactions in their own accounts.
• Participant Enrollment. JKWAI will assist you with group enrollment meetings
designed to increase retirement plan participation among employees and investment
and financial understanding by the employees.
• Qualified Plan Development. JKWAI will assist you with the establishment of a
qualified plan by working with you and a selected Third Party Administrator. If you
have not already selected a Third Party Administrator, we shall assist you with the
review and selection of a Third Party Administrator for the Plan.
• Due Diligence Review. JKWAI will provide you with periodic due diligence reviews of
your Plan’s fees and expenses and your Plan’s service providers.
• Benchmarking. JKWAI will provide you benchmarking services and will provide
analysis concerning the operations of the Plan.
Securities and other types of investments all bear different types and levels of risk. Those risks
are typically discussed with clients in defining the investment policies and objectives that will
guide investment decisions for their qualified plan accounts. Upon request, as part of our
retirement plan services, we can discuss those investments and investment strategies that we
believe may tend to reduce these risks for a particular client’s circumstances and plan
participants.
Clients and plan participants must realize that obtaining higher rates of return on investments
entails accepting higher levels of risk. Based upon discussions with the client, we will attempt
to identify the balance of risks and rewards that is appropriate and comfortable for the client
and other employees. It is still the clients’ responsibility to ask questions if the client does not
fully understand the risks associated with any investment. All plan participants are strongly
encouraged to read prospectuses, when applicable, and ask questions prior to investing.
We strive to render our best judgment for clients. Still, JKWAI cannot assure that investments
will be profitable or assure that no losses will occur in their portfolios. Past performance is an
important consideration with respect to any investment or investment advisor, but it is not
necessarily an accurate predictor of future performance.
JKWAI will disclose, to the extent required by ERISA Regulation Section 2550.408b-2(c), to you
any change to the information that we are required to disclose under ERISA Regulation Section
2550.408b-2(c)(1)(iv) as soon as practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days from the date on
which we are informed of the change (unless such disclosure is precluded due to extraordinary
circumstances beyond our control, in which case the information will be disclose as soon as
practicable).
In accordance with ERISA Regulation Section 2550.408b-2(c)(vi)(A), we will disclose within
thirty (30) days following receipt of a written request from the responsible plan fiduciary or
Plan Administrator (unless such disclose is precluded due to extraordinary circumstances
beyond our control, in which case the information will be disclosed as soon as practicable) all
information related to the Qualified Retirement Plan Agreement and any compensation or fees
received in connection with the Agreement that is required for the Plan to comply with the
reporting and disclosure requirements of Title 1 of ERISA and the regulations, forms and
schedules issued thereunder.
If we make an unintentional error or omission in disclosing the information required under
ERISA Regulation Section 2550.408b-2(c)(1)(iv) or (vi), we will disclose to you the correct
information as soon as practicable, but no later than thirty (30) days from the date on which we
learns of such error or omission.
Educational Seminars/Workshops
JKWAI occasionally provides seminars/workshops in areas such as financial planning,
retirement planning, estate planning, college planning and charitable planning or other relevant
financial topics. Seminars/ workshops are always offered on an impersonal basis and do not
focus on the individual needs of participants.
Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments
JKWAI generally limits its investment advice to mutual funds, equities, fixed income securities,
real estate funds, real estate investment trusts (REITs), Business Development Companies,
insurance products including annuities, private placements and hedge funds. JKWAI may use
other securities as well to help diversify a portfolio when applicable.
C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
JKWAI offers the same suite of services to all of its clients. However, specific client investment
strategies and their implementation are dependent upon the s client’s current situation (income,
tax levels, and risk tolerance levels). 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 JKWAI from properly servicing the client account, or if the restrictions would
require JKWAI to deviate from its standard suite of services, JKWAI reserves the right to end the
relationship.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
JKWAI offer services exclusively through wrap fee programs. A wrap fee program is defined as
any advisory program under which a specified fee or fees not based directly upon transactions in
a client’s account is charged for investment advisory services (which may include portfolio
management or advice concerning the selection of other investment advisers) and the execution
of client transactions. Whenever a fee is charged to a client for services described in this brochure,
JKWAI will receive all or a portion of the fee charged.
