B. Types of Advisory Services
Portfolio Management Services
AXIUS Advisors offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual
goals, objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. AXIUS Advisors creates
an Investment Policy Statement for each client, which outlines the client’s current
situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels). Portfolio management services
include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Investment strategy • Personal investment policy
• Asset allocation • Asset selection
• Risk tolerance • Regular portfolio monitoring
AXIUS Advisors evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk
tolerance levels and time horizon. Risk tolerance levels are documented in the Investment
Policy Statement, which is given to each client.
AXIUS Advisors seeks to provide that investment decisions are made in accordance with
the fiduciary duties owed to its accounts and without consideration of AXIUS Advisors’
economic, investment or other financial interests. To meet its fiduciary obligations, AXIUS
Advisors attempts to avoid, among other things, investment or trading practices that
systematically advantage or disadvantage certain client portfolios, and accordingly,
AXIUS Advisors’ policy is to seek fair and equitable allocation of investment
opportunities/transactions among its clients to avoid favoring one client over another
over time. It is AXIUS Advisors’ policy to allocate investment opportunities and
transactions it identifies as being appropriate and prudent among its clients on a fair and
equitable basis over time.
Financial Planning
Financial plans and financial planning may include, but are not limited to: investment
planning; life insurance; tax concerns; retirement planning; college planning; and
debt/credit planning.
Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments
AXIUS Advisors generally limits its investment advice to mutual funds, fixed income
securities, insurance products including annuities, equities, ETFs (including ETFs in the
gold and precious metal sectors)
and treasury inflation protected/inflation linked bonds.
AXIUS Advisors may use other securities as well to help diversify a portfolio when
applicable.
Written Acknowledgement of Fiduciary Status
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your 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. The way we make money
creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that
requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under
this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations
(give prudent advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations
(give loyal advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in
your best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
AXIUS Advisors offers the same suite of services to all of its clients. However, specific
client investment strategies 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). 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 AXIUS Advisors from properly servicing the client account, or if the
restrictions would require AXIUS Advisors to deviate from its standard suite of services,
AXIUS Advisors reserves the right to end the relationship.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
A wrap fee program is an investment program where the investor pays one stated fee that
includes management fees and transaction costs. AXIUS Advisors does not participate in
wrap fee programs.
E. Assets Under Management
