INVESTMENT SUPERVISORY SERVICES
1) INDIVIDUAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Our firm provides continuous advice to clients regarding the investment of their
funds based on their individual needs. Through personal discussions in which
goals and objectives based on a client's particular circumstances are established,
we develop a client's personal investment risk tolerance and create and manage
a portfolio based on that risk. 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 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 and will generally
include advice regarding the following securities:
• Exchange-listed securities
• Securities traded over the counter
• Certificates of deposit
• Municipal securities
• Variable annuities
• Mutual fund shares
• United States governmental securities
• Options contracts on securities
2) MODEL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Our firm provides portfolio management services to clients using our model asset
allocation portfolios. Each model portfolio is designed to meet a particular
investment goal and risk tolerance. Russell Capital Management’s Modular
Portfolio Construction (MPC) method of investment diversification is utilized in
the Select Account and Advanced Strategy portfolios. MPC is an investment
process which requires several investments in each module.
Select Account Model Portfolio
The Select Account Model is specially designed to suit the unique needs of
individual clients through a 5-step investment process.
1) Risk Determination
The amount of risk and volatility that the client is willing to accept in their
investments is determined
in consultation with the client. RCM assists our
clients with this study; among other things, it should include analysis of
distribution needs, client's financial situation, anticipated principal withdrawals
and additions, and age of the client.
2) Investment Module Design
Investment Modules are designed using Exchange Traded Funds “ETFs”
which represent diversified portfolios of securities to track specific indexes;
each module contains several ETFs, which creates diversification in style and

investment returns. Modules may consist of Growth, Aggressive Growth,
Value, Global and Fixed Income. Modules may be designed especially for the
client’s allocations and requirements.
3) Investment Allocation
After the client’s level of risk tolerance is agreed upon and the investment
module design is completed, investment allocations are formulated to target
risk tolerance with investment allocation mix.
4) Investment Implementation
RCM’s experienced staff works with each client to obtain the appropriate
account opening and transfer documents for their account at custodian.
Transfers are expedited by the professional staff at RCM.
5) Long-Term Monitoring
Account modules may be rebalanced to maintain the appropriate balance
between investments. All investments are continually monitored to assure that
they are maintaining their quality of performance.
Advanced Strategies Model Portfolio
The Advanced Strategies portfolio of alternative no-load mutual funds and
Exchange Traded Funds should be considered a separate asset class from Fixed
Income, Equities, Real Estate, Futures, Metals, Commodities and other
investments.
The Advanced Strategy portfolio consists of several independent modules, each
of which follows a different investment strategy. There is a maximum of twenty-
four alternative investment funds included in the portfolio. Periodic rebalancing of
the portfolio is necessary for smoother returns.
The Advanced Strategies portfolio consists of liquid mutual funds and ETFs which
attempt to replicate various “hedge fund” strategies and not correlate to the stock,
bond, real estate, or commodity markets. The managers of these funds are
attempting to provide positive returns in their own strategic models. There are a
limited number of mutual funds which fall into the category of alternative funds.
Through diligent research we have assembled the funds that are included in our
modules. Constant vigilance keeps our portfolio current and the investments
suitable for the various modules.
