A. Types of Advisory Services:
The Firm offers the following types of advisory services.
1. Wealth Management
Wealth management services are provided on a discretionary basis. Clients will be asked
to grant discretionary authority to the Firm by signing our Investment Advisory Agreement.
“Discretionary authority” simply means we decide what securities to buy and sell for clients, and
the time and price at which they are bought and sold, without seeking or obtaining the client’s
approval of each transaction. Members of our investment team will meet with the client to
develop an understanding of the client’s financial objectives and goals. We will also discuss
concepts related to risk, as well as the client’s ability and willingness to take on risk in the client’s
overall investment portfolio. We will ask the client questions designed to determine the
appropriate investment horizon, risk profile, financial goals, income and other various items we
deem necessary.
Clients are given the ability to impose reasonable restrictions on their management of
their investments, including specific investment selections and sectors. However, the Firm will
not enter into an investment advisor relationship with a client whose investment objectives may
be considered incompatible with the Firm’s investment philosophy or strategies or where the
prospective client seeks to impose unduly restrictive investment guidelines.
After we meet with a client, we will develop a portfolio customized to the specific needs
of the client as we understand them based on our discussions with the client and review of the
client questionnaire. Each client will be asked to open one or more trading account (“Account(s)”)
at a “qualified custodian,” which is usually a securities broker-dealer, bank, or trust company (the
“Custodian”). We will implement transactions on the client’s behalf and according to the client’s
profile in the Account(s).
This portfolio may comprise, among other things, stocks, bonds, preferred securities,
publicly traded partnerships, ETFs, mutual funds, separately managed accounts, listed options on
ETFs and stocks, cash or cash equivalents and select alternative investments.
Unless otherwise agreed to,
We will also monitor the client’s Account(s) to ensure that they are meeting the client’s
investment objectives and other requirements. If any changes are needed to the client’s
investments, We will either make the changes or recommend the changes to the client. These
changes may involve selling a security or group of investments and/or buying others, or keeping
the proceeds in cash or some liquid alternative. The client will receive written
or electronic
confirmations from the Custodian after any changes are made in the client’s Account(s). The
client will also receive statements at least quarterly from the Custodian. Our Investment Advisory
Agreement outlines the responsibilities of both the client and the Firm.
2. Financial Planning
For those clients who select the service, the Firm provides stand-alone financial planning
based upon an analysis of each client’s current situation, goals, and objectives. Financial planning
services will typically involve preparing and delivering a financial plan after consultation with the
client and a review of relevant client records. Recommendations made in any financial plan are
based on the client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass
advice regarding real estate purchases, investment planning, retirement planning, estate
planning, charitable planning, education planning, corporate and personal tax planning,
corporate structure, mortgage/debt analysis, insurance analysis or business and personal
financial planning. Prior to engaging our Firm to provide planning services, clients are generally
required to enter into a Financial Planning Agreement with the Firm setting forth the terms and
conditions of the engagement and describing the scope of the services to be provided and the
fees charged.
Implementation of any recommendations contained in the financial plan will be at the
discretion of the client. Clients are free to implement recommendations through another
financial adviser of firm and are under no obligation to implement the recommendations through
us or within the Account(s)
3. Retirement Plan Rollovers
Sometimes we will recommend that a client “roll over” assets that are held in an existing
tax-qualified retirement account, such as a 401(K), to be managed by us in an Individual
Retirement Account (“IRA”) or other similar account.
A client or prospective client leaving an employer typically has four options regarding an
existing retirement plan, and may engage in a combination of these options: (i) leave the money
in the former employer’s plan, if permitted; (ii) roll over the assets to the new employer’s plan,
if one is available and rollovers are permitted; (iii) roll over to an IRA, or (iv) cash out the account
value.
When we provide investment advice to clients regarding their retirement plan account or
individual retirement account, we are “fiduciaries” 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. If we recommend that a client roll over their retirement assets
into an account to be managed by us, such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if we
will earn an advisory fee on the rolled-over assets. We address this conflict of interest by ensuring
any such recommendations are in the client’s best interest. No client is under any obligation to
roll over retirement assets to an account to be managed by us.
B. Regulatory Assets Under Management
As of April 30, 2024, Holos Integrated Wealth manages $167,000,000 in client assets. All assets
are managed on a discretionary basis.
