B. Advisory Services Offered
LynnLeigh offers wealth management services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates in the State of New
York and other states (each referred to as a “Client”).
Wealth Management Services
LynnLeigh may provide Clients with wealth management services, which generally includes a broad range of comprehensive
financial planning and consulting services in connection with discretionary management of investment portfolios. These
services are described below.
Investment Management Services
LynnLeigh provides customized wealth management solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal
Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and related advisory services. Portfolios
are chosen after taking into consideration such things as a Client’s risk profile, the time horizon, income needs as well as
their unique tax situation. The portfolio management process is based on key pillars of our investment philosophy that
includes research-based decisions with a focus on quality while leveraging long term trends supported by key data.
LynnLeigh will then either construct a portfolio or place the Client into a model portfolio. Portfolios constructed by the
Advisor and model portfolios both consist of low-cost, diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The
Advisor may also utilize individual stocks, bonds or corporate debt securities. The Advisor may retain certain types of
investments based on a Client’s legacy portfolio construction.
LynnLeigh’s investment strategy[ies] is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate positions that
have been held less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. LynnLeigh will construct,
implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by
the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in
their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Advisor.
LynnLeigh evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence
process. As part of this process, we may purchase research from other investment adviser firms, including the model
portfolio holdings and recommendations of those firms. We may choose to follow or not follow those models and
recommendations. LynnLeigh may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify its client
portfolios. LynnLeigh may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may
recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement. LynnLeigh may recommend selling
positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure
to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk
tolerance of Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.

At
no time will LynnLeigh accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for authorized
deduction of the Advisor’s fees. All Client assets will be managed within their designated brokerage account or
pension account, pursuant to the Client wealth management agreement. Please see Item 12.
Financial Planning Services
LynnLeigh will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients, pursuant to a
written financial planning agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation,
depending on their goals, objectives and financial situation.
Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific
financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may
encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement planning,
personal savings, education savings and other areas of a Client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs. LynnLeigh may also refer
clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialist, as appropriate for their unique situation. For certain financial
planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of Client’s financial situati on, observations, and
recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may not provide a written summary. Plans
or consultations are typically completed within six months of contract date, assuming all information and
documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations may pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and
the interests of the Client. For example, a recommendation to engage the Advisor for investment management
services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor would pose a conflict, as it would increase
the advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made by the
Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the
recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to effect the transaction through the
Advisor.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging LynnLeigh to provide wealth management services, each Client is required to enter into a
Wealth Management Agreement with the Advisor that defines the terms, conditions, authority and
responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These services may include:
•Establishing an Investment Strategy – LynnLeigh, in connection with the Client, may develop a statement that
summarizes the Client’s investment goals and objectives along with the broad
strategy[ies] to be employed to meet the objectives.
•Asset Allocation – LynnLeigh will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment
objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
•Portfolio Construction/Model Portfolio – LynnLeigh will either develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended
to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client or place Client assets in a model portfolio that is targeted
to meet the investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
•Investment Management and Supervision – LynnLeigh will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s relationship’s investment portfolio.
