Types of Advisory Services
Asset Management
The mission of Lighthouse Financial is to preserve and grow client assets by investing in a
combination of stocks, bonds, mutual funds and exchange traded funds. We monitor the
portfolios and provide ongoing investment management and financial planning guidance. The
investment process begins with a written financial plan, and an Investment policy statement
detailing the new clients’ goals, risk tolerance and primary objectives. The portfolios are
reviewed daily and each asset management client receives a written portfolio update with
performance reports every three months. It is our goal to review a clients’ financial plan and
Investment Policy Statement annually for any material changes. To remain focused on our
client’s financial needs the minimum asset requirement for Asset Management Supervisory
services is $500,000, but this requirement may be waived in some circumstances. Lighthouse
Financial may request discretionary authority from clients in order to select securities and
execute transactions without permission from the client prior to each transaction.
Advisory/Consulting Services
Lighthouse Financial offers hourly consulting and financial planning services that
may include,
but are not limited to, financial plans, portfolio reviews, and investment analysis. These services
may be “one time only” or periodic engagements depending on what you want but in no
circumstances do they include management of any of your investments. Under this arrangement,
you are free to implement our advice with any broker of your choice. There is no minimum asset
requirement for one-time consulting services and clients are billed an hourly fee of $120.
Client Tailored Services or Client Imposed Restrictions
All of our services are tailored to clients’ needs, based on our assessment of your needs, goals,
risk tolerances, time horizon. These goals and objectives are detailed in each advisory client’s
investment policy statement and guided by a financial plan. The plan and policy statement will
be based on your current investments, financial condition, tax rate and your investment
experience. We will recommend a portfolio strategy and investments suited to your goals and
based on current market conditions.
Clients may impose restrictions in investing in certain securities, types of securities or broad
industries in accordance with their values and beliefs. However, if the restrictions prevent
Lighthouse Financial from serving the clients’ needs or if the restrictions would put an undue
burden on the firm, Lighthouse Financial reserves the right to end the relationship.

A wrap fee program is an investment program where the investor pays one stated fee that
includes management fees, transaction costs, fund expenses and any administrative fees.
Lighthouse Financial does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
