INDIVIDUAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Our firm provides continuous and ongoing supervisory services to a client regarding the investment of client funds
based on the individual needs of the client. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on a
client's particular circumstances are established, we develop a client's personal investment policy and create and
manage a portfolio based on that policy. During our data-gathering process, we determine the client's individual
objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. As appropriate, we also review and discuss a client's
prior investment history, as well as family composition and background.
We manage these advisory accounts on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis. Account supervision is guided by
the client's stated objectives (i.e., maximum capital appreciation, growth, income, or growth and income), as well
as tax considerations. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of
securities, or industry sectors.
Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a broker-dealer or
insurance company. We will generally include advice regarding exchange-listed securities, securities traded over-
the-counter, foreign issuers, warrants, corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper), commercial paper,
certificates of deposit, municipal securities, mutual fund shares, United States governmental securities, and options
contracts on securities. 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.

client with a detailed financial plan designed to assist the client achieve his or her financial goals and objectives.
We gather required information through in-depth personal interviews. Information gathered includes the client's
current financial status, tax status, future goals, returns objectives and attitudes towards risk. We carefully review
documents supplied by the client, including a questionnaire completed by the client, and prepare a written report.
Implementation of financial plan recommendations is entirely at the client's discretion.
