INVESTMENT SUPERVISORY SERVICES ("ISS")
INDIVIDUAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
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 and create and manage a portfolio based on that policy. During
our data-gathering process, we determine the client’s individual objectives, time horizons, risk
tolerance, and liquidity needs. As appropriate, we also review and discuss a client's prior
investment history, as well as family composition and background.
We manage these advisory accounts on a discretionary basis (except in special circumstances
which prohibit or make it less desirable to assign discretionary authority). Account
supervision is guided by the client's stated objectives (i.e., Growth, Balanced: Growth
Emphasis, Balanced: Income Emphasis, and Income), as well as tax considerations.
Clients
may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of
securities, or industry sectors.
Our investment recommendations will generally include advice regarding the following
securities:
• Exchange-listed securities
• Securities traded over-the-counter
• Foreign issuers
• Corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper)
• Certificates of deposit
• Municipal securities
• Mutual fund shares
• United States governmental securities
Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only be
implemented/recommended when consistent with the client's stated investment objectives,
tolerance for risk, liquidity and suitability.
