issues. Additionally, our advisory services can be specifically tailored to include any restrictions
that you may have regarding securities to be included or excluded in the management of your
portfolio. Restrictions could include length of maturities, specific social or industry issues,
investment quality, style or class, and many other issues that are meaningful to you. With this
information, we will provide continuous and regular supervisory and management services to
