Discretionary Investment Management Services
Our Firm provides continuous advice to a client regarding the investment of client funds based on the
individual needs of the client. Primarily, discretionary asset management services are provided by our one
Florida-based office. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on a client's particular
circumstances are established, we develop a client's personal target asset allocation and create and manage
a portfolio based on that target.
During our data-gathering process, we determine the client’s individual objectives, time horizons, risk
tolerance, and liquidity needs. As appropriate, we also review and discuss a client's prior investment history,
as well as family composition and background.
While we principally manage these advisory accounts on a discretionary basis, we retain the
unrestricted authority to accept select accounts on a non-discretionary basis as a concession to certain
advisory clients, friends, and family relationships. Account supervision is guided by the client's stated
investment objectives (i.e., aggressive growth, enhanced growth, growth, growth and income, enhanced
4 | P a g e
income or income), as well as tax considerations. Atlantic Edge creates and manages a diversified portfolio,
allocating the client's assets among various investments taking into consideration the investment objective
selected by the client.
Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a broker-dealer or
insurance company and will generally include advice regarding the following securities:
• Exchange‐listed securities • Securities traded over‐the-counter
• Warrants • Commercial paper
• Mutual fund shares • Exchange-Traded funds
• Municipal securities • U. S. governmental securities
• Certificates of deposit • Options contracts on securities
• Variable life insurance • Variable annuities
• Structured Notes • Corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper)
• Private Funds (alternative investments)
Although recommendations for new investments will typically be limited to these items, we may render
investment advice on other types of investments held by a client at the start of the advisory relationship.
Furthermore, clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of securities, or
industry sectors, or markets.
Exchange‐traded funds and/or no‐load mutual funds are selected on the basis of any or all of the following
criteria: the fund's performance history, the industry sector in which the fund invests, the track record of the fund's
manager, the fund's investment objectives, the fund's management style and philosophy, and the fund's
management fee structure. Portfolio weighting between funds and market sectors are determined on a per
account basis pursuant to each client's individual needs and circumstances. Clients retain individual ownership
of all securities.
Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only be implemented
when consistent with the client's stated investment objectives.
In addition to managing the client’s investment portfolio, Atlantic Edge may provide certain financial planning
services to clients on various financial areas including income and estate tax planning, college financial planning,
retirement planning, insurance analysis and personal cash flow analysis,
among other things. This office,
however, will not charge a separate fee for this service.
IRA Rollover Recommendations
For the purpose of complying with the DOL's Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 ("PTE 2020-02"),
when applicable, we are providing the following acknowledgment to clients. When we provide investment
advice to clients regarding their retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are a fiduciary
within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue
Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates conflicts
with clients’ interests. We operate under an exemption that requires us to act in the clients’ best interest and
not put our or our employees’ interests ahead of the clients. Under this exemption, we must:
• meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent advice),
• never put our or our employees’ financial interests ahead of the clients when making recommendations (give
loyal advice),
• avoid making misleading statements about conflict of interests, fees, and investments,
• follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we and our employees give advice that is in the
clients’ best interest,
• charge no more than is reasonable for our services, and
5 | P a g e
• give the clients basic information about conflict of interests.
We benefit financially from the rollover of the clients’ assets from a retirement account to an account that we
manage because the clients’ assets increase the assets we manage and, consequently, our advisory fees. As
a fiduciary, we only recommend a rollover when we believe it is in the client’s best interest.
