(a) Portfolio Management Services
GPS provides continuous advice to you regarding the investment of your funds based on
your individual needs.
Through personal discussions with you, we establish your goals and objectives based on
your unique circumstances. We help you develop your personal investment strategy and
manage your portfolio based on the agreed upon strategy.
When we select the investments for your portfolio, we are guided by your specifications,
which may include capital appreciation, growth and income, income, or sector rotation.
You may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of
securities. GPS requires that such restrictions be included in a written authority statement
(generally as part of your Investment Management Contract with us and as amended from
time‐to‐time in writing). You may change/amend these restrictions as desired with such
amendments submitted in writing.
Knowing Your Client
GPS gathers required information through in‐depth personal interviews. GPS may ask you
about your current financial status, future goals and attitudes towards risk. GPS carefully
reviews any appropriate documentation that
you provide.
In general, financial planning discussions may address any or all of the following areas that
may be of concern to you:
Personal: Family records, budgeting, personal liability, estate information, and financial
goals.
Education: Education IRA’s, financial aid, state savings plans, grants and general assistance
in preparing to meet our dependents continuing educational needs through development of
an education plan.
Tax and Cash Flow: Income tax planning and spending analysis. For example, we may
illustrate the impact of various investments on your current income tax and future tax
liability.
Death and Disability: Cash needs at death, income needs of surviving dependents, estate
planning and disability income analysis.
Retirement: Analysis of current strategies and investment plans to help you achieve your
retirement goals.
Investments: Analysis of investment alternatives and their effect on your portfolio.
If you choose to implement the recommendations discussed in the financial planning
consultation, GPS suggests that you work closely with your attorney, accountant, insurance
agent and/or stockbroker. Implementation of financial planning recommendations is
entirely at your discretion.
GPS’s portfolio recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered
by a broker dealer or insurance company. All recommendations are of a generic nature.
GPS does not charge you any fees for financial planning consultations. “Item 5 – Fees
and Compensation” provides additional information regarding how and when
management fees are assessed.
