Types of Advisory Services
ASSET MANAGEMENT
RPC offers comprehensive asset management services on a wrap fee basis described in
Appendix A.
FINANCIAL PLANNING and CONSULTING
A comprehensive evaluation of an investor's current and future financial state will be
provided by using currently known variables to predict future cash flows, asset values and
withdrawal plans. RPC will use current net worth, tax liabilities, asset allocation, and future
retirement and estate plans in developing financial plans.
Typical topics reviewed in a financial plan may include but are not limited to:
• Financial goals: Based on an individual's or a family's clearly defined financial
goals, including funding a college education for the children, buying a larger home,
starting a business, retiring on time or leaving a legacy. Financial goals should be
quantified and set to milestones for tracking.
• Personal net worth statement: A snapshot of assets and liabilities serves as a
benchmark for measuring progress towards financial goals.
• Cash flow analysis: An income and spending plan determines how much can be set
aside for debt repayment, savings and investing each month.
• Retirement strategy: A strategy for achieving retirement independent of other
financial priorities. Including a strategy for accumulating the required retirement
capital and its planned lifetime distribution.
• Comprehensive risk management plan: Identify all risk exposures and provide
the necessary coverage to protect the family and its assets against financial loss. The
risk management plan includes a full review of life and disability insurance,
personal liability coverage, property and casualty coverage, and catastrophic
coverage.
• Long-term investment plan: Include a customized asset allocation strategy based
on specific investment objectives and a risk profile. This investment plan sets
guidelines for selecting, buying and selling investments and establishing
benchmarks for performance review.
• Tax reduction strategy: Identify ways to minimize taxes on personal income to the
extent permissible by the tax code. The strategy should include identification of tax-
favored investment vehicles that can reduce taxation of investment income.
• Estate preservation: Help update accounts, review beneficiaries for retirement
accounts
and life insurance, provide a second look at your current estate planning
documents, and prompt you to update your plan when the legal environment
changes or you have major life events such as a marriage, death, or births.
If a conflict of interest exists between the interests of RPC and the interests of the Client,
the Client is under no obligation to act upon RPC’s recommendation. If the Client elects to
act on any of the recommendations, the Client is under no obligation to effect the
transaction through RPC. Financial plans will be completed and delivered inside of 30 days
contingent upon timely delivery of all required documentation.
THIRD PARTY MANAGERS
When deemed appropriate for the Client, we may recommend that Clients utilize the
services of a Third Party Manager (TPM) to manage a portion of, or your entire portfolio. All
TPMs that we recommend must either be registered as investment advisers with the
Securities and Exchange Commission or with the appropriate state authority(ies).
After gathering information about your financial situation and objectives, an investment
advisor representative of our firm will make recommendations regarding the suitability of
a TPM or investment style based on, but not limited to, your financial needs, investment
goals, tolerance for risk, and investment objectives. Upon selection of a TPM(s), we will
monitor the performance of the TPM(s) to ensure their performance and investment style
remains aligned with your investment goals and objectives.
In such circumstances, RPC receives referral fees from the TPM. We act as the liaison
between the Client and the TPM in return for an ongoing portion of the advisory fees
charged by the TPM. We help the Client complete the necessary paperwork of the TPM,
provides ongoing services to the Client. Ongoing services include but are not limited to:
1. Meet with the Client to discuss any changes in status, objectives, time horizon or
suitability;
2. Update the TPM with any changes in Client status which is provided to RPC by the
Client;
3. Review the statements provided by the TPM; and
4. Deliver the Form ADV Part 2, Privacy Notice and Referral Disclosure Statement of the
TPM to the Client.
RPC will provide the TPM with any changes in Client status as provided to us by the Client
and review the quarterly statements provided by the TPM. RPC will deliver the Form ADV
Part 2, Privacy Notice and Referral Disclosure Statement of the TPM. Clients placed with
TPM will be billed in accordance with the TPM’s Fee Schedule which will be disclosed to the
Client prior to signing an agreement. This is detailed in Item 10 of this brochure.
