Advisory Services
FIS is dedicated to providing individuals and other types of clients with a wide array of investment
advisory services. We specialize in asset management, retirement plan consulting, and financial planning
and consulting.
As of December 31, 2023, FIS has assets under management of $158,794,352 managed on a discretionary
basis and $12,037,596 managed on a non-discretionary basis.
Asset Management:
We emphasize continuous and regular account supervision. As part of our asset management service, we
generally create a portfolio, consisting of individual stocks or bonds, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”),
and mutual funds. At client’s request, FIS may include options.
The client’s individual investment strategy is tailored to their specific needs and may include some or all
of the previously mentioned securities. Each portfolio will be initially designed to meet a particular
investment goal, which we determine to be suitable to the client’s circumstances. Once the appropriate
portfolio has been determined, we review the portfolio at least quarterly and if necessary, rebalance the
portfolio based upon the client’s individual needs, stated goals and objectives. Each client has the
opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in the portfolio.
It is the client's responsibility to notify FIS at any time there are changes. Clients may call in at any time
during normal business hours to discuss directly with FIS about the client's account, financial situation, or
investment needs. Clients will receive from the custodian/brokerage firm timely confirmations and at
least quarterly statements containing a description of all transactions and all account activity. The client
will retain rights of ownership of all securities and funds in the account to the same extent as if the client
held the securities and funds outside the program. In addition to custodial statements, FIS sends quarterly
reports to the client.
Retirement Plan Consulting:
We provide retirement plan consulting services to employer plan sponsors on an ongoing basis.
Generally, such 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 retirement plan consulting services shall be in compliance with the applicable state laws regulating
pension consulting services. This applies to client accounts that are retirement or other employee benefit
plans (“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) or 3(38) of
ERISA as designated by the Retirement Plan Consulting Agreement with respect to the provision of
services described therein.
Financial Planning and Consulting:
We provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to individuals, families and other
clients regarding the management of their financial resources based upon an analysis of client’s current
situation, goals, and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services will involve preparing a
financial plan or rendering a financial consultation for clients based on the client’s financial goals and
objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more of the following areas: Investment
Planning, Retirement Planning, Estate Planning, Charitable Planning, Education Planning, Corporate and
Personal Tax Planning, Cost Segregation Study, Corporate Structure, Real Estate Analysis,
Mortgage/Debt Analysis, Insurance Analysis, Lines of Credit Evaluation, Business and Personal Financial
Planning.
Our written financial plans or financial consultations rendered to clients usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the clients. For example,
recommendations may be made that the clients begin or revise investment programs, create or revise wills
or trusts, obtain or revise insurance coverage, commence or alter retirement savings, or establish
education or charitable giving programs. It should also be noted that we refer clients to an accountant,
attorney or other specialist, as necessary for non-advisory related services. For written financial planning
engagements, we provide our clients with a written summary of their financial situation, observations, and
recommendations. For financial consulting engagements, we usually do not provide our clients with a
written summary of our observations and recommendations as the process is less formal than our planning
service. Plans or consultations are completed within six (6) months of the client signing a contract with
us, assuming that all the information and documents we request from the client are provided to us
promptly. Implementation of the recommendations will be at the discretion of the client.
Clients should be aware that a conflict of interest may exist between our firm and the client, as some
recommendations may result in the compensation of our representatives. Clients are under no obligation
to act upon our recommendation and if the client elects to act on any of the recommendations, the client is
under no obligation to affect the transaction through our firm.
