Types of Advisory Services
Financial Planning
The firm provides fee-based financial planning on a component basis, which includes Investment Allocation
Planning, Retirement Planning, Net Worth, Income/Expenditures, Insurance, Investment, and Cash Flow
Analysis for Individuals. For small business, we provide a fee-based Management & Financial Consulting
service.
The principals of the firm will first meet with the client for the purpose of an interview. During such interview,
financial information about the client such as financial needs, goals, objectives, risk tolerance and time
horizons, will be elicited. Then once such financial information has been received and reviewed, it will be
used by the firm to produce a financial plan. Such financial plan will then be presented to the client.
Investment Management Services
We are in the business of managing individually tailored investment portfolios on both a discretionary and
non-discretionary basis. Our firm provides continuous advice to a client regarding the investment of client
funds based on the individual needs of the client. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives
based on a client's particular circumstances are established, we develop a client's personal investment policy
or an investment plan with an asset allocation target and create and manage a portfolio based on that policy
and allocation target. During our data-gathering process, we determine the client’s individual objectives, time
horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. We may also review and discuss a client’s prior investment
history, as well as family composition and background.
Account
supervision is guided by the stated objectives of the client (i.e., maximum capital appreciation,
growth, income, or growth and income), as well as tax considerations. Clients may impose reasonable
restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of securities, or industry sectors. Fees pertaining to this
service are outlined in Item 5 of this brochure.
Pension Consulting Services
We provide pension consulting services to employer plan sponsors. 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 the services
provided by this Agreement. This section applies to an Account that is a pension or other employee benefit
plan (a “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 Section 3(21) of ERISA (but only with respect
to the provision of services described in section 1 of the Pension Consulting Agreement).
Pontera Service
We provide an additional service for accounts not directly held in our custody, but where we do have
discretion, and may leverage an Order Management System to implement tax-efficient asset location and
opportunistic rebalancing strategies on behalf of the client. These are primarily 401(k) accounts, HSAs, and
other assets we do not custody. We regularly review the available investment options in these accounts,
monitor them, and rebalance and implement our strategies in the same way we do other accounts, though
using different tools as necessary.
Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
We offer the same suite of services to all of our clients. However, specific client financial plans and their
implementation are dependent upon a client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels)
and is used to construct a client specific plan to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches restrictions,
needs, and targets.
Wrap Fee Programs
We do not participate in wrap fee programs.
