the following advisory services to our clients:
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
Our firm provides continuous advice to a client regarding the investment of client funds based
on the individual needs of the client. Through personal discussions in which goals and
objectives based on a client's particular circumstances are established, we develop a client's
personal investment policy and 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 and non-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.
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:
• Exchange-listed securities
• Securities traded over-the-counter
• Foreign issuers
• Warrants
• Corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper)
• Commercial paper
• Certificates of deposit

Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only be
implemented/recommended when consistent with the client's stated investment objectives,
tolerance for risk, liquidity and suitability.
FINANCIAL PLANNING
We provide financial planning services. Financial planning is a comprehensive evaluation of a
client’s current and future financial state by using currently known variables to predict future
cash flows, asset values and withdrawal plans. Through the financial planning process, all
questions, information and analysis are considered as they impact and are impacted by the
entire financial and life situation of the client. Clients purchasing this service receive a written
report which provides the client with a detailed financial plan designed to assist the client
achieve his or her financial goals and objectives.
In general, the financial plan can address any or all of the following areas:
• PERSONAL: We review family records, budgeting, personal liability, estate information
and financial goals.
• TAX & CASH FLOW: We analyze the client’s income tax and spending and planning for
past, current and future years; then illustrate the impact of various investments on the
client's current income tax and future tax liability.
• INVESTMENTS: We analyze investment alternatives and their effect on the client's
portfolio.
• INSURANCE: We review existing policies to ensure proper coverage for life, health,
disability, long-term care, liability, home and automobile.
• RETIREMENT: We analyze current strategies and investment plans to help the client
achieve his or her retirement goals.
• DEATH & DISABILITY: We review the client’s cash needs at death, income needs of
surviving dependents, estate planning and disability income.
• ESTATE: We assist the client in assessing and developing long-term strategies, including
as appropriate, living trusts, wills,
review estate tax, powers of attorney, asset
protection plans, nursing homes, Medicaid and elder law.
We gather required information through in-depth personal interviews. Information gathered
includes the client's current financial status, tax status, future goals, returns objectives and
attitudes towards risk. We carefully review documents supplied by the client, including a
questionnaire completed by the client, and prepare a written report. Should the client choose
to implement the recommendations contained in the plan, we suggest the client work closely
with his/her attorney, accountant, insurance agent, and/or stockbroker. Implementation of
financial plan recommendations is entirely at the client's discretion.
We also provide general non-securities advice on topics that may include tax and budgetary
planning, estate planning and business planning.
Typically, the financial plan is presented to the client within 2 weeks of the contract date,
provided that all information needed to prepare the financial plan has been promptly provided.
Financial Planning recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered
by a broker-dealer or insurance company. All recommendations are of a generic nature.
CONSULTING SERVICES
Clients can also receive investment advice on a more focused basis. This may include advice on
only an isolated area of concern such as estate planning, retirement planning, or any other
specific topic. We also provide specific consultation and administrative services regarding
investment and financial concerns of the client.
Consulting recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a
broker-dealer or insurance company. All recommendations are of a generic nature.
PENSION CONSULTING SERVICES
We also provide several advisory services separately or in combination. While the primary
clients for these services will be pension, profit sharing and 401(k) plans, we offer these
services, where appropriate, to individuals and trusts, estates and charitable organizations.
Pension Consulting Services are comprised of four distinct services. Clients may choose to use
any or all of these services.
Investment Policy Statement Preparation (hereinafter referred to as ''IPS''):
We will meet with the client (in person or over the telephone) to determine an appropriate
investment strategy that reflects the plan sponsor's stated investment objectives for
management of the overall plan. Our firm then prepares a written IPS detailing those needs
and goals, including an encompassing policy under which these goals are to be achieved. The
IPS also lists the criteria for selection of investment vehicles as well as the procedures and
timing interval for monitoring of investment performance.
Selection of Investment Vehicles:
We assist plan sponsors in constructing appropriate asset allocation models. We will then
review various mutual funds (both index and managed) to determine which investments are
appropriate to implement the client's IPS. The number of investments to be recommended will
be determined by the client, based on the IPS.
Monitoring of Investment Performance:
We monitor client investments continually, based on the procedures and timing intervals
delineated in the Investment Policy Statement. Although our firm is not involved in any way in
the purchase or sale of these investments, we supervise the client's portfolio and will make
recommendations to the client as market factors and the client's needs dictate.
Employee Communications:
For pension, profit sharing and 401(k) plan clients with individual plan participants exercising
control over assets in their own account (''self-directed plans''), we also provide quarterly
educational support and investment workshops designed for the plan participants when the
plan sponsor engages our firm to provide these services. The nature of the topics to be covered
will be determined by us and the client under the guidelines established in ERISA Section
404(c). The educational support and investment workshops will NOT provide plan participants
with individualized, tailored investment advice or individualized, tailored asset allocation
recommendations.
