SERVICES PROVIDED
At the outset of each client relationship, we spend time with you, asking questions, discussing your
investment experience and financial circumstances, and reviewing options for you. Based on our
review, we generally develop:
• a financial outline for you based on your financial circumstances and goals and your risk
tolerance level (the “Financial Profile” or “Profile”); and
• your investment objectives and guidelines (the “Investment Plan” or “Plan”).
The Financial Profile is a reflection of your current financial picture and a look to your future goals.
The Investment Plan outlines the types of investments we will make on your behalf to meet those
goals. The Profile and the Plan are discussed regularly with you but are not necessarily written
documents.
Portfolio Management
As described above, at the beginning of a client relationship, we meet with you, gather information,
and perform research and analysis as necessary to develop your Investment Plan. We also discuss
the investment strategies that we use, to help ensure the management styles are commensurate with
your needs.
Through detailed discussions with you, we provide the following services: 1) analyze existing assets;
2) analyze current asset allocation strategy; 3) make recommendations for changes in asset
allocation and specific investments; and 4) implement the recommendations. The Investment Plan
will be updated from time to time when requested by you or when determined to be necessary or
advisable by us based on updates to your financial or other circumstances.
To implement your Investment Plan, we will manage your investment portfolio on a discretionary
basis. As a discretionary investment adviser, we will have the authority to supervise, direct, and make
changes to your portfolio without prior consultation with you.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may impose certain written restrictions on us in the management
of your investment portfolio, such as prohibiting the inclusion of certain types of investments in
your
investment portfolio or prohibiting the sale of certain investments held in your account at the
commencement of the relationship. You should note, however, that restrictions imposed by you may
adversely affect the composition and performance of your investment portfolio. You should also note
that your investment portfolio is treated individually by giving consideration to each purchase or sale
for your account. For these and other reasons, such restrictions can cause the composition and
performance of your investment portfolio to differ from that of portfolios of similarly-situated clients
with the same investment objectives, goals and/or risk tolerance.
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 of 1974 (“ERISA”) 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 interests ahead of yours. Additional disclosure may be found elsewhere in this Brochure or in
the written agreement between you and MIM.
Financial Planning
From time to time we offer financial planning services to clients on a limited basis, usually in
conjunction with Portfolio Management services and not as a stand-alone service. Our financial
planning services normally address areas such as general cash flow planning, retirement planning,
estate planning and insurance analysis. The goal of this service is to assess your financial
circumstances in order to more effectively manage your investment portfolio.
Portfolio Manager in Wrap Programs
We serve as a portfolio manager for certain clients of unaffiliated investment advisors (each a
“Primary Advisor”) in connection with wrap fee programs. Clients of the Primary Advisors, after
consulting with the Primary Advisors, have selected us to manage a portion of their assets. The
Primary Advisors work with the client to develop, and keep current, investment guidelines and to
determine the amount to be allocated to their client’s account managed by us.
Investment management that we provide to wrap fee clients is substantially the same as that
provided to non-wrap fee clients. However, practical restraints to the management of wrap fee
accounts can exist. Most notably, the smaller asset value of certain wrap fee accounts can result in
slightly different returns due to investment limitations imposed by investment restrictions,
administrative restrictions, and the wrap fees imposed by wrap fee sponsors.
