Types of Advisory Services Offered
Comprehensive Portfolio Management:
As part of our Comprehensive Portfolio Management service clients will be provided asset management
and financial planning or consulting services. This service is designed to assist clients in meeting their
financial goals through the use of a financial plan or consultation. Our firm conducts client meetings to
understand their current financial situation, existing resources, financial goals, and tolerance for risk. Based
on what is learned, an investment approach is presented to the client, consisting of individual stocks, bonds,
ETFs, options, mutual funds and other public and private securities or investments. Once the appropriate
portfolio has been determined, portfolios are continuously and regularly monitored, and if necessary,
rebalanced based upon the client’s individual needs, stated goals and objectives. Upon client request, our
firm provides a summary of observations and recommendations for the planning or consulting aspects of
this service.
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. If 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.

parameters of a
plan held with outside custodians. Our firm will evaluate the securities offered and advise clients on
suggested allocations based on their wholistic financial picture. This service is solely consultative in nature
and involves no on-going supervision, trading, or discretion with respect to securities transactions. Clients

manage.
