Arthur Bautis.
B. Types of Advisory Services
Bautis Financial, LLC (hereinafte
r “BF”) offers the following services to advisory clients:
Investment Supervisory Services
BF offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals,
objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client.
BF creates an Investment
Policy Statement for each client, which outlines the client’s current situation (income, tax
levels, and risk tolerance levels) and then constructs a plan (the Investment Policy
Statement) to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches each client’s specific
situation. Investment Supervisory Services include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Investment strategy • Personal investment policy
• Asset allocation • Asset selection
• Risk tolerance • Regular portfolio monitoring
BF evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance
levels and time horizon. BF will request discretionary authority from clients in order to
select securities and execute transactions without permission from the client prior to
each transaction. Risk tolerance levels are documented in the Investment Policy
Statement, which is given to each client.

REITs, and private placements.
BF may use other securities as well to help diversify a
portfolio when applicable.
C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
BF offers the same suite of services to all of its clients. However, specific client financial
plans and their implementation are dependent upon the client Investment Policy
Statement which outlines each client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk
tolerance levels) and is used to construct a client specific plan to aid in the selection of a
portfolio that matches restrictions, needs, and targets.
Clients may impose restrictions in investing in certain securities or types of securities in
accordance with their values or beliefs. However, if the restrictions prevent
BF from
properly servicing the client account, or if the restrictions would requir
e BF to deviate
from its standard suite of services
, BF reserves the right to end the relationship.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
BF does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
E. Amounts Under Management
