A. SERVICES
PINVEST offers discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisory services for domestic
and foreign individuals, trusts, family offices and institutions through separately managed
accounts (each a “Client” and collectively the “Clients”). Every Client signs an investment
advisory agreement (“Agreement”), setting forth the relevant terms and conditions of the
advisory relationship with us. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain
securities, types of securities or industry sectors. PINVEST customizes the nature and scope of
its services based on a particular Client’s current and anticipated financial condition, risk
tolerance and goals, and these services may include consulting on portfolio construction,
investment opportunities, hedging of existing assets and/or such other advisory services as
PINVEST and such Client may agree. Information provided by the Client is also collected during
meetings, interviews and/or by completing questionnaires. PINVEST will work with each Client
to establish an appropriate investment profile. After defining the Client’s appropriate
investment profile, the investment strategy is implemented through a combination of
investment products.
For non-discretionary Clients, we provide research, advice and recommendations. However,
you must provide specific consent prior to each transaction. If we enter into a non-discretionary
arrangement with you, you have an unrestricted right
to decline to implement any advice
provided by our Firm.
Within the discretionary portfolio management, PINVEST will define the Client’s appropriate
investment strategy, based on the Client’s investment profile and objectives and delegate the
discretionary investment management process to a Third-Party Portfolio Manager. More
information about the investment strategies is found in Item 8.
In accordance with the Agreement, the Client grants the Adviser full discretionary authority to
invest, reinvest and otherwise deal with the allocated assets in their discretion, including
without limitation the authority to select, allocate and reallocate the assets in your account,
when the Adviser deems it appropriate and without prior consultation with you to buy, sell,
convert and otherwise trade in any security for the allocated assets. The Adviser works with a
disciplined and systematic investment decision process. The approach is built upon financial
market analysis and an economic scenario defined by the Adviser. Fundamental and technical
analysis is used to identify investments for recommendations that are suitable and have a
reasonable basis for recommendations.
The Agreement entered by PINVEST shall be in accordance with the requirements of the
Advisers Act and other applicable federal and state law.
Additional services may include implementation of investment recommendations, quarterly
portfolio evaluations, consultation, and assistance with the implementation of suggested
planning strategies.
In conjunction with the implementation of your financial plan and/or the management of your
portfolio, we may manage your assets on a discretionary basis or non-discretionary basis
through our managed account program and/or we may refer you to use the services of
unaffiliated, Third Party Money Managers ("TPMMs"), whose services are described in their
respective Form ADV Disclosure Brochures (only for US-based advisors registered with the SEC
and or the appropriate State(s)). We will determine which programs and strategies are most
appropriate for you, based upon your individual circumstances, needs, and investment
objectives, and, as described below, may exercise discretion in hiring and firing TPMMs for the
management of your account's assets. You will also be provided with the TPMM's Form ADV
Disclosure brochure (if applicable).
