INVESTMENT SUPERVISORY SERVICES ("ISS")
Our Firm provides continuous advice 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 information 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 income, net worth, liquid net worth, prior investment history,
as well as family composition and background.
We manage these advisory accounts on a non-discretionary basis. Account supervision
is guided by the client's stated objectives (i.e., aggressive growth, growth, growth and
income, income, or capital preservation), 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 and will generally include advice regarding the
following securities:
• Exchange-listed securities
• Securities traded over-the-counter
• Foreign issuers
• Corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper)
• Commercial paper
• Certificates of deposit

• United States governmental securities
• Interests in partnerships investing in real estate
• Exchange traded funds
• Exchange traded notes

Since 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, past investment experience, income, net worth, liquid net worth, tolerance
for risk, liquidity, suitability, and market volatility.
INDIVIDUAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Our Firm provides continuous asset management of client funds based on the individual
needs of the client. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on
the client's particular circumstances are established, we develop the client's personal

information 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 income, net worth, liquid net worth, prior investment history, as well as family
composition and background.

guided by the client's stated objectives (i.e., aggressive growth, growth, growth and
income, income, or capital preservation), as well as tax considerations.
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities,
types of securities, or industry sectors.
Once the client's portfolio has been established, we review the portfolio quarterly, and if
necessary, rebalance the portfolio on an annual basis, based on the client's individual
needs.

FINANCIAL
PLANNING
We provide financial planning services. Financial planning services will typically involve
providing a variety of services, principally advisory in nature, to individuals regarding the
management of their financial resources based upon an analysis of individual client's
needs. We first conduct a complimentary initial consultation during which pertinent
information about the client's
financial circumstances and objectives is collected.
The financial planning process will involve the collection, organization, and assessment of
all relevant client data as well as identification of the client's financial concerns, goals and
objectives. Information gathered includes the client's current financial status (including
income, net worth, and liquid net worth), tax status, future goals, returns objectives and
attitudes towards risk. The primary objective of this process is to allow Aviso Wealth
Management to assist the client in developing a strategy for the successful management
of income, assets, and liabilities in meeting the client's financial goals and objectives.
Financial plans are based on the client's financial situation at the time the plan is
presented and are based on financial information disclosed to us by the client. Clients
will receive a written report which provides the client with a detailed financial plan
designed to assist the client in achieving his or her financial goals and objectives.
In general, the financial plan can address any or all of the following areas:
• PERSONAL: We review family records, determination of net worth, budgeting,
education planning, personal liability, estate information, employer benefits
and financial goals.
• CASH FLOW: We analyze the client’s income tax, and spending, and
planning for past, current, and future years; then illustrate the impact of
various investments while taking into consideration current and future

income tax implications.
• INVESTMENTS: We analyze currently held investments and
alternatives
• INSURANCE: We review existing policies to ensure proper coverage for life,
health, disability, long-term care, liability, home and automobile.
• RETIREMENT: We analyze current strategies and investment plans to help
the client achieve his or her retirement goals.
• DEATH & DISABILITY: We review the client’s cash needs at death, income
needs of surviving dependents, estate planning and disability income.
• ESTATE: We assist the client in assessing and developing long-term
strategies, including as appropriate, living trusts, wills, review estate tax,
powers of attorney, asset protection plans, charitable objectives and
planning, nursing homes, long term care, Medicaid and elder law.
We also provide general non-securities advice on other topics such as budgetary planning
and business planning.

provided.

service offered by a broker-dealer or insurance company.
P a g e | 8 03/27/2024
Implementation of final plan recommendations is entirely at the client’s discretion.
Should the client choose to implement the recommendations contained in the plan,
we suggest the client work closely with his/her attorney, accountant, and/or insurance
agent.
We cannot offer any guarantees or promises that the client's financial goals and
objectives will be met. Further, the client must continue to review any plan and update
the plan based upon changes in the client's financial situation, goals, or objectives, or
changes in the economy. As the client's financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs
change, the client must notify Aviso Wealth Management promptly.
