ADVISORY SERVICES OFFERED
FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTATION SERVICES
The Firm furnishes investment advice through comprehensive financial planning and consultative
services. Our financial planning service involves a review of the client’s financial situation, goals
and risk tolerance. Through a series of personal interviews and/or the use of questionnaires we
will collect pertinent data, identify goals, objectives, financial problems, and potential solutions.
With this information, we tailor the client’s financial plan and advice we give to the client. Our
advice may cover any of the following topics: net worth statement; cash flow analysis, tax
analysis, insurance and long-term care analysis; tax planning; retirement projection; 401k review;
and/or other needs as identified during our meetings with the client. The client will receive a
written financial plan following the completion of our meetings.
With our financial consulting services, we focus on a few individual topics as identified between
us and the client. We do not provide a written financial plan for this service.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT SERVICES
We offer portfolio management services that involve assisting with the ongoing management of
a client’s investment accounts. We work with the client to understand his or her investment
objectives, time frame, risk tolerance and other considerations. Once we have this information,
we create an individualized portfolio based on our model portfolios. We regularly monitor the
client’s portfolio and adjust it as determined by the financial markets, world events and client's
needs.
We may, from time to time and based upon information received from the client, utilize the
services a Sub-Advisor to manage some or all of a client’s assets on a discretionary basis and in
accordance with the client’s stated investment objectives. In these situations, we offer consulting
and advisory services in overseeing such Sub-Advisors. We make recommendations regarding the
use of a Sub-Advisor and its investment style based on, but not limited to, the client’s financial
needs, long-term goals, and investment objectives.
Sub-Advisors selected by us offer multiple strategies. Once a Sub-Advisor is selected, we continue
to monitor the chosen firm to ensure that it adheres to the philosophy and investment style for
which it was selected and to ensure that its performance, portfolio strategies, and management
remain aligned with the client’s overall investment goals and objectives. We will retain
discretionary authority to hire and
fire Sub-Advisors and reallocate the client’s assets to other
Sub-Advisors, where such action is deemed to be in the best interest of the client. Our ongoing
review includes, but is not limited to, assessment of the Sub-Advisor’s disclosure brochure,
performance information, materials, personnel turnover, and regulatory events.
