Adviser Managed Account
We work with you to identify your investment goals and objectives, as well as risk tolerance, in
order to create an initial portfolio allocation designed to complement your financial situation and
personal circumstances. The investment strategies utilized, and portfolios constructed and
managed depend on your investment objectives and goals as provided to the investment adviser
representative (“IAR”) and the management style of the IAR.
The IAR may purchase, sell, and/or exchange securities including, but not limited to, mutual funds,
equities, options, fixed income instruments, closed-end mutual funds, exchange traded funds, and
variable life and annuity subaccounts. Model portfolios and margin may be used as a part of this
strategy. However, you have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the type of
investments to be held in the portfolio. The IAR may periodically rebalance your account to
maintain the initially agreed upon strategic and tactical asset allocation. However, no changes are
made to the agreed-upon asset allocation in non-discretionary accounts without your prior review
and consent.
Other Third-Party Investment Advisory Services
In addition to the aforementioned advisory services, we have also entered into agreements with
various other third-party investment advisers (“Third Party Advisory Service”) for the provision
of certain investment advisory services. We will provide individualized advisory services to you
through the selection of a suitable third-party investment manager. Factors considered in the
selection of a Third-Party Advisory Service include but may not be limited to: each individual
IAR’s preference for a particular third-party investment manager; your risk tolerance, goals and
objectives, as well as investment experience; and, the amount of your assets available for
investment.
Whenever a client selects the services of a third-party manager, the client will receive a disclosure
brochure similar to this one describing the manager and the services it provides. The client may
also receive a disclosure brochure or a brochure supplement describing each individual portfolio
manager selected. Clients should read these disclosure brochures carefully before deciding
whether to select a particular portfolio manager.
In order to assist you in the selection of a third-party investment manager, we will typically gather
information from you about your financial situation and investment objectives.
Adviser does not sponsor or participate in any wrap fee programs.
Private (Alternative) Investments
We give certain clients the option of investing in private investments. Specifically, some clients
may be invested in Kelly Mine Investment, LLC (“Kelly Mine”), a private company in California
which is involved in gold mining exploration and development, and may invest in B & N Mining
Properties, LLC (“B & N Properties”), also a private company in California which is involved in
gold mining exploration and development and the sister company of Kelly Mine. Robert Binkele,
an IAR of our firm, is a majority owner, shareholder, director and officer of B & N Mining, Inc.,
which is the Manager and parent company of both Kelly Mine and B & N Properties. Both Kelly
Mine and B & N Properties are a private investments recommended by Mr. Binkele to some of our
clients depending on their goals and investment objectives. B & N Mining, Inc. is Manager and
majority owner of both Kelly Mine and B & N Properties, and as such, has full control over the
management of the investment. While Mr. Binkele will not receive any direct selling
compensation for these investments nor any fees for managing either or these
assets for our clients
who choose to invest in these investments, a conflict of interest could still arise with respect to Mr.
Binkele’s fiduciary duty to his clients. Any investment by Mr. Binkele’s clients in Kelly Mine or
B & N Properties would benefit Mr. Binkele personally because it would increase the prospective
value of his ownership of B & N Mining, Inc. Additionally, Mr. Binkele may be conflicted when
exercising his judgment as an owner of B & N vis a vis providing advice and acting in the best
interests of his investment advisory clients. Mr. Binkele may make a decision that is more
advantageous to the investors in Kelly Mine and/or B & N Properties or B & N Mining, Inc. and
less advantageous to his investment advisory clients.
Due to strict regulatory requirements, only certain clients may invest in private investments. Prior
to recommending private investments, we are required to have a reasonable belief that the client
is, at a minimum, an “accredited investor.” An “accredited investor” is a client who primarily has
over $1 million in total net worth exclusive of their primary residence, or individual income of
greater than $200,000 the previous two years with a reasonable expectation of the same in the
current year, or the client and spouse had a combined income of $300,000 per year the previous 2
years and expect to do the same the current year. An accredited investor may meet additional
criteria as stated by the SEC. Please read the Risk and Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statements
to Prospective Investors in Preferred Membership Interests of Kelly Mine and B & N Properties,
as applicable, which accompany the Private Placement Memorandums of Kelly Mine and B & N
Properties prior to making an investment decision.
Clients of the Adviser are in no way obligated to invest in Kelly Mine or B & N Properties. If,
after reviewing both the Risk and Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement to Prospective
Investors in Preferred Membership Interests of Kelly Mine and/or B & N Properties, as applicable,
and the Private Placement Memorandum of Kelly Mine and/or B & N Properties, as applicable,
clients of the Adviser decide to invest in Kelly Mine and/or B & N Properties, those clients will
not be charged any transaction fee nor the standard percentage of assets under management as
stated below under Item 5 – Fees and Compensation. Investment funds will be held in an escrow
account and our firm will not have physical custody of these assets.
Mr. Binkele is also a shareholder and 1.9% owner of AscentX Medical, Inc. Mr. Binkele may
recommend AscentX Medical, Inc., a non-traded offering, as an investment to accredited investors.
Recommending an investment in which Mr. Binkele has a financial interest presents a conflict of
interest because it creates an incentive to make that recommendation based on his financial interest
in the investment and the amount of compensation he will receive rather than based upon your
needs.
Mr. Binkele will explain the specific conflicts and costs associated with any investment in AscentX
Medical, Inc. You are under no obligation to purchase or sell any investments in which Mr. Binkele
has a financial interest.
Needs and Restrictions
In managing your investment portfolio, we consider your: financial situation, risk tolerance,
investment horizon, liquidity needs, tax considerations, investment objectives, and any other issues
important to your state of affairs. You should notify us promptly of any changes in your financial
situation or investment objectives or if you wish to impose any reasonable restrictions upon the
management of your account.
