Our firm manages assets for many different types of clients to help meet their financial goals while
remaining sensitive to risk tolerance and time horizons. As a fiduciary, it is our duty to always act in
the client’s best interest. This is accomplished in part by knowing the client. Our firm has established
a service-oriented advisory practice with open lines of communication. Working with clients to
understand their investment objectives while educating them about our process, facilitates the kind
of working relationship we value.
Our firm sponsors and offers a wrap fee program, which allows clients to pay a single fee for
investment advisory services and associated custodial transaction costs. Transaction fees will be paid
by our firm via individual transaction charges. Because our firm absorbs client transaction fees, an
incentive exists to limit trading activities in client accounts.
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. recently eliminated transaction fees for U.S. listed equities and exchange
traded funds. Since we pay the transaction fees charged by Schwab to clients participating in our
wrap fee program, we are incentivized to recommend equities and exchange traded funds over other
types of securities in order to reduce our costs. To mitigate this potential conflict, our firm will act in
the client’s best interest.
Our Wrap Advisory Services
Wrap Asset Management:
As part of our Wrap 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.
Fee Schedule
The maximum annual fee charged for this service will not exceed 1.50%. Fees to be assessed will
be outlined in the advisory agreement to be signed by the client. Annualized fees are billed on a
pro-rata basis monthly in arrears based on the time-weighted daily average of the month. Fees
are negotiable and will be deducted from client account(s). Adjustments will be made for deposits
and withdrawals during the quarter. In rare cases, our firm will agree to directly invoice. Unless
otherwise noted in writing, our firm bills on cash. As part of this process, Clients understand the
following:
a) The client’s independent custodian sends statements at least quarterly showing the
market values for each security included in the Assets and all account disbursements,
including the amount of the advisory fees paid to our firm;
