Related documents supplied by the client are carefully reviewed, including a questionnaire completed by the client.

Implementation of the financial plan recommendations

is entirely at the client’s discretion. SIM may, at times, evaluate private placement offerings, such as private funds, hedge funds, private equity funds, etc., which are brought to us by the client We will not make a specific recommendation as to whether to investment or not invest in these private placements.

These services are limited to education only, and SIM will not charge a separate fee for such services related to private offerings that clients are independently considering. Representatives of SIM may also invest in these same private placements, which creates a conflict of interest as such representatives stand to benefit from any client’s investment in the same fund. Accordingly, clients should understand that SIM will only provide informational and educational consultation with clients as to private offerings that they are independently considering for their portfolios.
