EGFS Advisory Services:
ASSET MANAGEMENT
Our firm provides continuous asset management 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 the client’s personal
investment policy. We create and manage client portfolios based on that unique 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 or non-discretionary basis. Account
supervision is guided by the client's objectives, the Investment Advisory Agreement
executed by the client as part of our investment advisory agreement (in which the client
chooses an asset allocation model).
Once the client’s portfolio has been established, we review the portfolio on a regular basis;
and, if necessary, rebalance the portfolio based on the client’s individual needs and/or as
economic market conditions dictate.
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
• ADRs
• Warrants
• Corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper)
• Certificates of deposit
• Municipal
securities
• Variable life insurance
• Variable annuities
• Mutual funds and exchange traded funds
• United States governmental securities
Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will
only be implemented and/or recommended when consistent with the client's investment
objectives, their Investment Advisory Agreement, tolerance for risk, liquidity and
suitability.
Clients are free to impose restrictions of investing in certain types of securities; however,
that may inhibit our ability to offer our services.
FINANCIAL PLANNING CONSULTATION SERVICES
Clients can also receive investment advice on a more focused basis. This may include
advice on only an isolated area(s) 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.
MUTUAL FUND ACCOUNT SERVICING
Clients can assign mutual fund accounts to us to service. We will provide annual
performance reports for those accounts and assist clients on any administrative matters
related to them. We will provide investment advice concerning any purchases, redemptions
and fund exchanges for these types of accounts.
BROKERAGE ACCOUNT SERVICING
Clients can assign brokerage accounts to us to service. We will provide annual performance
reports for these accounts and assist clients on any administrative matters related to them.
We do not actively provide investment advice concerning any purchases, redemptions and
exchanges in those accounts. We offer brokerage account services as an accommodation
and do not charge a management fee on the assets. We no longer charge a flat processing
fee of $30.00. We only assist on the implementation of transactions based on client
direction.
WRAP FEE PROGRAMS
We do not offer wrap fee programs.
