General Description of Primary Advisory Services
The following are brief descriptions of RCM’s primary services. A detailed description of RCM’s services is provided in
Item
5 – Fees and Compensation so that clients and prospective clients can review the description of services and description
of fees in a side-by-side manner.
Financial Planning Services – RCM provides financial planning services. Financial planning services do not involve the
active management of client accounts, but instead focus on a client’s overall financial situation. Financial planning can be
described as helpi
ng individuals determine and set their
long-term financial goals, throug
h investments, tax planning, asset
allocation, risk management, retirement planning, an
d other areas. The
role of a financial planner is to find ways to help the
client understand his/her
overall financial situation and help th
e client set financial
objectives.
Outside Money Managers – RCM provides advisory services by referring clients to outside unaffiliated money managers
that are registered or exempt from registration as investment advisers. Third-party money managers are responsible for
continuously monitoring client accounts and making trades in client accounts when necessary. These money managers
typically are granted discretion by their clients, meaning that the managers can buy or sell securities without seeking or
obtaining the client’s permission.
Manager of Managers – RCM provides advisory services wherein it acts as “manager of managers.” Under this service
offering, RCM is granted investment discretion by the client and leverages its access to certain third-party sponsored
investment platforms to select unaffiliated third-party money managers to implement investment strategies and model
portfolios which best fit the client’s investment objectives, needs, and limitations. The third-party money managers will have
discretionary trading authority and be responsible for all research, day-to-day trading decisions, and the overall
implementation of the investment strategies and models selected by RCM for the client’s account. RCM’s role is to monitor
the client’s accounts on an ongoing basis and to use its investment discretion to allocate and re-allocate the client’s funds
between money managers, strategies, and models available on the platform as necessary and appropriate, acting as the
client’s fiduciary. At present, RCM has entered into co-advisory or sub-advisory arrangements to utilize the investment
management platforms sponsored by AE Wealth Management, LLC (“AEWM” and the “AEWM Platform”) and Verity Asset
Management, LLC (“VAM” and the “VAM Platform”) to implement these services. AEWM and VAM are independent SEC
registered investment advisor firms. We may enter into similar arrangements with other investment platform providers in the
future.
Investment Management – RCM may also offer direct discretionary management by one or more of RCM’s investment
adviser representatives. Clients who select this service grant discretion to RCM to invest, allocate, re-invest and re-allocate
their designated investment account(s) held in the custody of an independent qualified custodian (i.e., a licensed broker-
dealer, bank, or trust company) in one or more securities. This service may also be provided on a non-discretionary basis,
meaning that RCM makes recommendations and receives client permission before executing transactions.
