Investment Management Services
The client pays a fee to FDW and ticket or transaction charges on each transaction executed in the account. The
exception is that there may be a select listing of securities (typically reserved to mutual funds) for which no transaction
fees will be assessed. However, the security may be subject to a holding period to avoid early liquidation fees. For
securities with holding periods, clients are not prevented from liquidating during the holding periods, however, there is
a fee associated with liquidations during the holding period.
Clients’ portfolios may consist of stocks, bonds, no-load and/or load mutual funds and cash or cash equivalents, or other
securities deemed appropriate and suitable for the client by FDW IAR.
Accounts are managed on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis as agreed to between the Client and the IAR. Non-
discretionary accounts require the IAR to discuss any and all changes in the client’s portfolio with the Client, and receiving Client
approval, prior to execution of the transactions. For discretionary accounts, IAR will make changes within the Client’s portfolio
as deemed appropriate by IAR without delay and without contacting the Client prior to the transaction. Clients will receive
confirmations and statements from LPL Financial reflecting all transactions in their account. However, in no circumstances shall
FDW or IAR have the discretionary authority to close the account or withdraw funds or securities, with the exception of FDW’s
advisory fees on a quarterly basis.
FDW provides asset management services on an ongoing basis based on the individual needs of the client. The
management program through FDW offers clients flexibility among payment structures, custodians, and management
styles. Management will be on an active basis. Thus, FDW IARs will actively monitor the assets in the account and make
changes or recommendations deemed appropriate in light of the circumstances in the market, based upon the expertise
of IAR.
Clients’ portfolios may consist of stocks, bonds, ETF/ETNs, no-load and/or load mutual funds and cash or cash
equivalents, or other securities deemed appropriate and suitable to the client by FDW.
