Planning & Consulting, and Pension Consulting.
We are dedicated to providing individuals and other types of clients with a wide array of investment
advisory services. Our firm is a limited liability company formed in the State of Pennsylvania. Our
firm has been in business as an independent investment adviser since 2014 and is solely owned by J.
Charles Mann.
Description of the Types of Advisory Services We Offer
(i) Comprehensive Portfolio Management:
Our Comprehensive Portfolio Management service encompasses asset management as well
as providing financial planning/financial consulting to clients. It is designed to assist clients
in meeting their financial goals through the use of financial investments. We conduct at least
one, but sometimes more than one meeting (in person if possible, otherwise via telephone
conference) with clients in order to understand their current financial situation, existing
resources, financial goals, and tolerance for risk. Based on what we learn, we propose an
investment approach to the client. We may propose an investment portfolio, consisting of
exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds, individual stocks or bonds, or other securities.
Upon the client’s agreement to the proposed investment plan, we work with the client to
establish or transfer investment accounts so that we can manage the client’s portfolio. Once
the relevant accounts are under our management, we review such accounts on a regular basis
and at least quarterly. We may periodically rebalance or adjust client accounts under our
management. If the client experiences any significant changes to his/her financial or personal
circumstances, the client must notify us so that we can consider such information in
managing the client’s investments.
For clients with Assets Under Management of at least $1,000,000 we may offer personal tax
preparation services through a third party CPA firm. Clients who take advantage of this
service will enter into a separate agreement with the CPA firm of our choice, and we will pay
the cost of Federal and Resident State Tax preparation services provided by the CPA firm. At
our discretion, this service may be provided to clients with Assets Under Management below
$1,000,000. We will not pay for the cost of any additional tax services, including, but not
limited to, tax planning and consulting, business tax preparation, business advisory services,
accounting and audit services.
(ii) Financial Planning & Consulting:
We provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to individuals, families and
other clients regarding the management of their financial resources based upon an analysis
of the client’s current situation, goals, and objectives. Generally, such financial planning
services will involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial consultation for
clients based on the client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may
encompass one or more of the following areas: Investment Planning, 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, Business and Personal Financial Planning.

Our 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.
For example, recommendations may be made that the clients begin or revise investment
programs, create or revise wills or trusts, obtain or
revise insurance coverage, commence or
alter retirement savings, or establish education or charitable giving programs. It should also
be noted that we refer clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialist, as necessary for
non-advisory related services. For written financial planning engagements, we provide our
clients with a written summary of their financial situation, observations, and
recommendations. For financial consulting engagements, we usually do not provide our
clients with a written summary of our observations and recommendations as the process is
less formal than our planning service. Plans or consultations are typically completed within
six (6) months of the client signing a contract with us, assuming that all the information and
documents we request from the client are provided to us promptly. Implementation of the
recommendations will be at the discretion of the client.
(iii) Pension Consulting:
We provide pension consulting services to employer plan sponsors on a one-time or ongoing
basis. Generally, such pension consulting services consist of assisting employer plan sponsors
in establishing, monitoring and reviewing their company's participant-directed retirement
plan. As the needs of the plan sponsor dictate, areas of advising could include: investment
options, plan structure and participant education.
All pension consulting services shall be in compliance with the applicable state law(s)
regulating pension consulting services. This applies to client accounts that are pension or
other employee benefit plans (“Plan”) governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). If the client accounts are part of a Plan, and we accept
appointments to provide our services to such accounts, we acknowledge that we are a
fiduciary within the meaning of either Section 3(21) or Section 3(38) of ERISA (but only with
respect to the provision of services described in section 1 of the Pension Consulting
Agreement).
(iv)Asset Management:
As part of our Asset Management service, a portfolio is created, consisting of individual stocks,
bonds, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), options, mutual funds and other public and private
securities or investments. The client’s individual investment strategy is tailored to their specific
needs and may include some or all of the previously mentioned securities. Portfolios will be
designed to meet a particular investment goal, determined to be suitable to the client’s
circumstances. Once the appropriate portfolio has been determined, portfolios are continuously
and regularly monitored, and if necessary, rebalanced based upon the client’s individual needs,
stated goals and objectives.
Tailoring of Advisory Services

Each client has the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held
in the portfolio. Restrictions on investments in certain securities or types of securities may not be
possible due to the level of difficulty this would entail in managing the account. Restrictions would
be limited to our Comprehensive Portfolio Management service. We do not manage assets through
our other services.
Participation in Wrap Fee Programs
We do not offer wrap fee programs.
