Types of Advisory Services
Investment Management Services
Investor's Advantage provides investment management services on a
discretionary basis. Such services are provided within guidelines formulated
with each client, based upon defined investment objectives. Stewardship, not
salesmanship, is the foundation of our relationship with our clients. From our
beginnings, we embraced the fiduciary rule and standards. The firm is not paid
any commissions.
During initial conferences with prospective clients, investment objectives are
identified, and the firm's advisory fee structure is discussed. If clients elect to
retain Investor’s Advantage as a portfolio manager, clients are asked to execute
an advisory contract and are provided a copy of this brochure and the
applicable Part 2B supplements. The client designates a broker/custodian
which will execute transactions to be effected on their behalf by Investor's
Advantage.
Investor's Advantage manages clients' accounts on an individual basis.
Investor's Advantage normally exercises investment discretion for each
account, and so individual portfolios within the same objective will, at any
given time differ as to funds, industries and cash levels. Further restrictions
and guidelines imposed by clients affect the composition and performance of
portfolios. For these reasons, performance of portfolios will differ within the
same investment objective. The Firm has access to institutional quality funds
which may not be available to the retail investor except when purchased
through the advisor.
The above gives us the impetus to the use of lower-cost, broadly diversified,
market-cap weighted index funds in our equity selections. We do not receive
compensation from mutual funds, custodians, trustees or brokerage firms.
Investor’s Advantage is strictly a fee-only registered
investment advisory firm.
The firm does not sell annuities, insurance, stocks, bonds, mutual funds,
limited partnerships, or other commissioned products. No commissions in any
form are accepted. In addition, no finder’s fees are accepted. The firm's single
source of revenue is a fixed fee against the value of our client’s portfolio. The
firm focuses on advice and active management in the selection, asset allocation
and rebalancing of low cost exchange traded and actively managed bond funds.
Active management is focused on our fixed income selections where we believe
the most value is generated on behalf of our clients. This is because features of
the bond markets tend to favor active fixed income managers.
* Please note that pursuant to the investment advisory agreement you are
obligated to notify us promptly when your financial situation, goals, objectives,
or needs change. *
You will be responsible for all tax consequences resulting from the sale of any
security, rebalancing or reallocation of the account. You are responsible for
any taxable events in these instances. We are not tax professionals and do not
give tax advice. However, we will work with your tax professionals to assist you
with tax planning.
You will be notified of any purchases or sales through trade confirmations and
statements that are provided by the custodian. These statements list the total
value of the account, itemize all transaction activity, and list the types,
amounts, and total value of securities held. You will at all times maintain full
and complete ownership rights to all assets held in your account, including the
right to withdraw securities or cash, proxy voting and receiving transaction
confirmations.
