Portfolio Management Services Through Wrap Fee Program
We offer discretionary portfolio management services. These services are offered through a Wrap Fee
Program. A Wrap Fee Program is an investment program where the investor pays one stated fee that includes
management fees, transaction costs, fund expenses, and any other administrative fees. By participating in a
Wrap Fee Program, you may end up paying more or less than you would through a Non-Wrap Fee Program
where a lower advisory fee may be charged, but trade execution costs may be passed directly through to you
by the executing advisor. Some additional expenses may not be included in the Wrap Fee Program and
charged directly to you. These may include custodial fees, fees from trades executed away from custodian,
charges imposed directly by a mutual fund, index fund, or exchange traded fund which shall be disclosed in the
fund’s prospectus (e.g., fund management fees and other fund expenses), mark-ups and mark-downs, spreads
paid to market makers, wire transfer fees and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities
transactions.
Our investment advice is tailored to meet our clients' needs and investment objectives. If you retain our firm
for portfolio management services, we will review with you to determine your investment objectives, risk
tolerance, and other relevant information
at the beginning of our advisory relationship. We will use the
information we gather to develop a strategy that enables our firm to give you focused investment advice
and/or to make investments on your behalf. As part of our portfolio management services, we may customize
an investment portfolio for you according to your risk tolerance and investing objectives. We may also invest
your assets using a predefined strategy, or we may invest your assets according to one or more model
portfolios developed by our firm. Once we construct an investment portfolio for you, or select a model
portfolio, we will monitor your portfolio's performance on an ongoing basis and will rebalance the portfolio as
required by changes in market conditions and or your financial circumstances. Financial planning is provided as
a complimentary service to your portfolio management engagement.
In order to provide discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant our firm
discretionary authority to manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow us to determine the
specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold for your account without your
approval prior to each transaction. In limited circumstances, and only upon our approval, we may accept client-
imposed restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities.
Based on our evaluation of the foregoing factors, we may invest your assets according to one or more model
portfolios developed by our firm. These models are designed for investors with varying degrees of risk tolerance
ranging from a more aggressive investment strategy to a more conservative investment approach.
Types of Investments
We primarily offer advice on mutual funds, exchange traded funds, equity securities, and debt securities.
Additionally, we may advise you on various types of investments based on your stated goals and objectives. We
may also provide advice on any type of investment held in your portfolio at the inception of our advisory
relationship.

Management managed on a discretionary basis.
