Types of Advisory Services
ASSET MANAGEMENT
CSA offers discretionary and non-discretionary direct asset management services to
advisory clients. CSA will offer clients ongoing portfolio management services through
determining individual investment goals, time horizons, objectives, and risk tolerance.
Investment strategies, investment selection, asset allocation, portfolio monitoring and the
overall investment program will be based on the above factors.
Discretionary
When the client provides CSA discretionary authority the client will sign a limited trading
authorization or equivalent. CSA will have the authority to execute transactions in the
account without seeking client approval on each transaction.
Non-discretionary
When the client elects to use CSA on a non-discretionary basis, CSA will determine the
securities to be bought or sold and the amount of the securities to be bought or sold.
However, CSA will obtain prior client approval on each and every transaction before
executing any transactions.
As part of the recommendations provided, the Client may have a financial plan completed.
This may include but is not limited to Asset Preservation, Wills, Estate Plans and Trusts,
Investments, Taxes, Qualified Plans, Insurance, Retirement Income, Social Security, College
Planning, and Divorce Planning will be reviewed. If a conflict of interest exists between the
interests of CSA and the interests of the Client, the Client is under no obligation to act upon
CSA’s recommendation. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations, the Client
is under no obligation to effect the transaction through CSA.
SEI Managed Accounts Solutions
CSA offers discretionary management services through a program sponsored by SEI
Investments Management
Corp (SIMC). SIMC has developed a standard managed account
solutions (“MAS”), which program includes SEI’s distribution focused strategies, an
integrated managed account solutions providing a tax overlay service (“Tax Management”)
and a Goals Based Investing managed account solutions, consisting of MAS and Tax
Management portfolios invested in accordance with SEI’s goals-based investment solutions
and, may, in the future, develop additional managed account solutions (collectively, the
“Managed Account Solutions”). Under this program, SIMC acts as a co-investment advisor to
the Investor, along with CSA. For each Managed Account Solutions, SIMC is responsible for
developing managed account portfolios designed to be invested in accordance with a stated
investment objective (the “Managed Account Portfolios”). For each Managed Account
Portfolio, other than the Managed Account Portfolios implementing distribution-focused
strategies (the “DFS Portfolios”), SIMC is solely responsible for screening, reviewing and
selecting the various money managers and/or individual mutual funds and Other Assets
available for selection by Advisors and their Investors designed to meet the specific Managed
Account Portfolio’s stated investment objective or goal. For each DFS Portfolio, SIMC is
responsible for selecting the SEI Funds and/or Other Assets underlying each DFS Portfolio
and actively managing each Investor Account invested in a DFS Portfolio in accordance with
the portfolio’s investment objectives.
SEI Mutual Fund Models Program and SEI Funds
CSA offers discretionary management services through a program sponsored by SEI
Investments Management Corp (SIMC). SIMC has developed various model mutual fund
asset allocation portfolios (the "Mutual Fund Models") designed to be invested in accordance
with a stated investment objective or goal (the "Mutual Fund Models Program"). SIMC
currently develops its Mutual Fund Models through two underlying programs, described in
various SEI literature as either SEI's Institutional Mutual Fund models or SEI's Goals Based
Investing models and, may in the future, develop additional mutual fund model programs.
Each Mutual Fund Model's underlying portfolio allocation is generally comprised exclusively
of mutual funds in the SEI family of funds ("SEI Funds"), which are each advised by SIMC.
Pursuant to the Mutual Fund Models Program, SEI will make available its various Mutual
Fund Models to CSA who, in turn, may assist Investors in determining into which Mutual
Fund Models to invest their assets.

Taxes, Qualified Plans, Insurance, Retirement Income, Social Security, College Planning, and

recommendation. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations, the Client is
under no obligation to effect the transaction through CSA. Financial plans will be completed
and delivered inside of six months (6) months.
