Description Of The Berkshire Advisors’ Asset Management Account Program
The Berkshire Advisors Asset Management Account Program offers clients an asset management account
(hereinafter referred to as “Advisory Account”) in which Berkshire Advisors, in its capacity as a
registered investment advisor, assists clients in developing a personalized asset allocation program.
Advisory Accounts are designed primarily to assist clients in developing a custom-tailored portfolio of
mutual fund shares (including no-load mutual funds and/or loaded funds purchased at net asset value),
variable annuities, individual equity securities, individual fixed income securities or a combination of
mutual fund shares, variable annuities (including no-load or low-load variable annuity contracts),
Berkshire Advisors will
offer the Advisory Account to interested clients. Berkshire Advisors shall obtain
the necessary financial data from the client, assist the client in determining the suitability of the Advisory
Account and help the client set the appropriate investment objectives and strategies. Each client’s
Advisory Account will be opened pursuant to a written investment contract in which the client will
authorize Berkshire Advisors to purchase and sell various financial instruments that includes no- load and
load-waived mutual funds; variable annuity contract sub-accounts (hereinafter referred to collectively as
“mutual funds”); individual equities; and individual fixed income securities on a discretionary basis.
Berkshire Advisors can liquidate previously purchased mutual funds and other securities pursuant to the
investment objectives chosen by the client. In addition, the Firm manages 401k accts that we cover (there
is no discretion over participant accounts.)
Each client’s Advisory Account will consist of a percentage mix of asset classes to assist the client in
meeting their needs may be and or not limited to the Berkshire Select Equity Portfolio. The percentage
weightings within the asset classes will be based on the client’s risk profile, investment objectives,
individual preferences, and availability. The portfolio can consist of individual equity securities,
individual fixed income securities, and alternative investments including but not limited to: hedge funds,
private equity funds, mezzanine funds, venture funds, REITs, REMICs, and privately placed debt and/or
equity to achieve their investment objectives. The IARs manage accounts, which may include mutual
fund shares, variable annuities, individual equity securities, individual fixed-income securities, or a
combination thereof.
