Our Firm provides asset management and investment consulting services for many different types of clients to
help meet their financial goals while remaining sensitive to individual risk tolerance and time horizons. As a
fiduciary it is our duty to always act in the client’s best interest. This is accomplished in large part by knowing
the client. Our Firm has established a service-oriented advisory practice with open lines of communication.
Working with clients to understand their investment objectives while educating them about our process,
facilitates the kind of working relationship we value.
Financial Advisors who give investment advice on behalf of CAPSTONE have, at a minimum, demonstrated
industry experience or its equivalent experience in business and/or have passed the FINRA (Formerly NASD)
exam for Investment Adviser Financial Advisors (Series 65 or 66) and/or hold a professional designation, CFP

Types of Advisory Services Offered
Financial Advisors provide investment management services, portfolio management and/or furnish investment
advice. These services involve discretionary, daily oversight and selection of investment securities through
fundamental and technical research, analyzing investment holdings to assist in managing client risk exposure
while focusing on investor objectives. Portfolio Managers make daily decisions on a discretionary basis
whereby our clients’ needs are maintained ahead of the firms’.
Additionally, Financial Advisors may provide financial planning services, pension consulting, or offer selection
of other financial services. Financial Advisors can tailor advisory services through a formal interview, risk
tolerance questionnaire, or through other means such as a financial plan. Specific restrictions can be made for
investing in certain types of securities by noting the same on the CAPSTONE Advisory Agreement or by
notifying your Financial Advisor. Non-discretionary services are also available.
CAPSTONE may provide ERISA fiduciary and non-fiduciary services to retirement plans and their participants
when the client executes a Retirement Plan Advisory Agreement. In rendering fiduciary services, CAPSTONE is
a “fiduciary” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940. The following is a summary of the Services provided and more specific terms and
conditions are contained in the Retirement Plan Advisory Agreement.

Financial Planning & Consulting:
Our Firm provides a variety of standalone financial planning and consulting services to clients for the
management of financial resources based upon an analysis of current situation, goals, and objectives. Financial
planning services will typically involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial consultation for clients
based on the client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass Investment
Planning, Retirement Planning, Estate Planning, Charitable Planning, Education Planning, Corporate and
Personal Tax Planning, Cost Segregation Study, Corporate Structure, Real Estate Analysis, Mortgage/Debt
Analysis, Insurance Analysis, Lines of Credit Evaluation, or Business and Personal Financial Planning.
Written financial plans or financial consultations rendered to clients usually include general recommendations
for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the clients. Implementation of the recommendations
will be at the discretion of the client. Our firm provides clients with a summary of their financial situation, and
observations for financial planning engagements. Financial consultations are not typically accompanied by a
written summary of observations and recommendations, as the process is less formal than the planning
service. Assuming that all the information and documents requested from the client are provided promptly,
plans or consultations are typically completed within 6 months of the client signing a contract with our
Firm.
Tailoring of Advisory Services
Our Firm offers individualized investment advice to our Comprehensive Portfolio Management clients. General
investment advice will be offered to our Financial Planning & Consulting and Retirement Plan Consulting
clients. Each Comprehensive Portfolio Management client has the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions
on the types of investments to be held in the portfolio. Restrictions on investments in certain securities or
types of securities may not be possible due to the level of difficulty this would entail in managing the account.
Participation in Wrap Fee Programs
Our Firm does not offer or sponsor a wrap fee program.
