Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on the client's particular circumstances are established, we develop the client's personal investment policy. We 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. Account supervision is guided by the client's stated objectives (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. Once the client's portfolio has been established, we review the portfolio quarterly, and if necessary, rebalance the portfolio on an annual basis, based on the client's individual needs. Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a broker-dealer or insurance company and will generally include advice regarding the following securities:

• Certificates of deposit
• Municipal securities

WRAP FEE PROGRAMS A “wrap fee” program is one that provides the client with advisory and brokerage execution services for an all-inclusive fee (the client is not charged separate fees for the respective components of the total service). Read & Powell Financial Services, LLC actively solicits advisory clients for the program. In evaluating the program, clients should consider that, depending upon the level of the wrap fee charged, the amount of portfolio activity in the client’s account, the broker dealer's usual commission rates, and other factors, the wrap fee may be more or less than the aggregate cost of such services if they were to be provided separately and if Read & Powell Financial Services, LLC were to negotiate commissions and seek best price and execution of transactions for the client's account. Further, clients should be aware that the person recommending the program to the client may receive compensation as a result of the client’s participation in the program; that the amount of this compensation may be more than what the person would receive if the client participated in other programs of the sponsor or paid separately for investment advice, brokerage, and other services; and that the person may therefore have a financial incentive to recommend the wrap fee program over other programs or services.
