SERVICES OFFERED
At the outset of each client relationship, we spend time with you, asking questions, discussing your
investment experience and financial circumstances, and reviewing options for you. Based on our
review, we generally develop:
• a financial outline for you based on your financial circumstances and goals, and your risk
tolerance level (the “Financial Profile” or “Profile”); and
• your investment objectives and guidelines (the “Investment Plan” or “Plan”).
The Financial Profile is a reflection of your current financial picture and a look to your future goals.
The Investment Plan outlines the types of investments we will make or recommend on your behalf
to meet those goals. The Profile and the Plan are discussed regularly with you, but are not necessarily
written documents.
Where we provide general consulting services, we will work with you to prepare an appropriate
summary of the specific project(s) to the extent necessary or advisable under the circumstances.
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are
laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your
interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put
our interests ahead of yours. Additional disclosure may be found elsewhere in this Brochure or in
the written agreement between OWA and the Client.
Portfolio Management
As described above, at the beginning of a
client relationship, we meet with you, gather information,
and perform research and analysis as necessary to develop your Investment Plan. The Investment
Plan will be updated from time to time when requested by you, or when determined to be necessary
or advisable by us based on updates to your financial or other circumstances.
To implement your Investment Plan, we will manage your investment portfolio on a discretionary
basis or a non-discretionary basis, whichever you prefer. As a discretionary investment adviser, we
will have the authority to supervise and direct the portfolio without prior consultation with you.
Under a non-discretionary arrangement, you must be contacted prior to the execution of any trade
in your account(s) under management. This can result in a delay in executing recommended trades,
which could adversely affect the performance of your portfolio. This delay also normally means the
affected account(s) will not be able to participate in block trades, a practice designed to enhance the
execution quality, timing and/or cost for all accounts included in the block. In a non-discretionary
arrangement, you retain the responsibility for the final decision on all actions taken with respect to
your portfolio.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may impose certain written restrictions on us in the management
of your investment portfolio, such as prohibiting the inclusion of certain types of investments in an
investment portfolio or prohibiting the sale of certain investments held in the account at the
commencement of the relationship. You should note, however, that restrictions imposed by you may
adversely affect the composition and performance of your investment portfolio. You should also note
that your investment portfolio is treated individually by giving consideration to each purchase or sale
for your account. For these and other reasons, performance of your investment portfolio within the
same investment objectives, goals and/or risk tolerance may differ and you should not expect that
the composition or performance of your investment portfolio would necessarily be consistent with
similar clients of ours.
