Portfolio Management Services
Our firm provides investment advisory services in the form of continuous advice to a client
regarding the investment of client funds based on the individual needs of the client. Osprey
provides investment management through individually managed accounts.
Osprey provides discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management advisory services.
Through personal discussions with clients, goals and objectives based on a client's particular
circumstances are established. Investment advisory services are based on the needs and objectives
of the client. Identifying clients' needs and priorities is the first step in the process of designing a
portfolio. Whether a client's objective is growth of capital, income, liquidity, or conservation of
capital in large part determines the investment strategy that will be selected. A client's parameters
such as risk tolerance, marginal tax rate, and/or account restrictions, also figure prominently into
portfolio construction. Osprey
then develops a client's personal investment guidelines and creates
and manages a portfolio based on that policy. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on
investing in certain securities, types of securities, or industry sectors.
Osprey also provides clients with wealth management services including financial planning. and
ongoing investment management. Financial planning includes advice on goal setting, determining
risk tolerance, retirement planning, IRA/qualified plan distributions, college funding, cash flow
planning, estate and tax planning, insurance analysis, stock options, and charitable giving. On
occasion.
Depending on the client's goals, portfolios can be invested entirely in equities, fixed income, or a
combination of both. The firm invests primarily in liquid securities including (a) stocks issued by
companies with market capitalizations typically above $1 billion, (b) U.S. Treasury fixed income
securities, and (c) corporate and municipal bonds. The firm also invests in exchange-traded funds
(“ETFs”) and selected mutual funds. We may also employ the use of options, typically to sell
options on underlying shares, to increase income. It is possible that we may use other types of
options, such as puts to hedge individual positions. Our use of options will be fairly limited and
used mostly to write covered call options. Our investment recommendations are not limited to any
specific product or service offered by a broker-dealer or insurance company.
Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only be
implemented/recommended when consistent with the client's stated investment objectives,
tolerance for risk, liquidity and suitability.
