What We Do
We provide financial solutions designed to accomplish the financial goals you wish to achieve
while being mindful of the legacy you wish to leave behind. We do not subscribe to a “one-size-
fits-all” model. Instead, we take the time to learn about how you think and what is most
important to you and your family or business.
The focus of our advisory services begins with identifying your standards of living and quality of
lifestyle expectations. We will accomplish this through an initial Discovery and Goal Setting
meeting where we will review the financial documents we asked you to bring for discussion.
Together questions will be asked, information shared, and an evaluation made as to whether we
should move to the next step. During the meeting, we will:
Learn about your core values and guiding principles
Seek to understand your financial concerns and how you have been addressing them
Discover your financial objectives and what success looks like for you
Create an internal profile consisting of your current income and expenses, assets,
career objectives, investment goals, risk tolerance and investment time horizon,
targeted rate of return, and prior investment experience, along with personal
information about your relationships, your values, and interests
Moving forward, should you choose to engage us for our advisory services, we will begin the
process of identifying your life goals (i.e., core values, family, monetary needs, future plans,
etc.). We will make every effort to embrace these life goals and develop economic solutions
that reflect how you define true wealth -- not us. Our services include:
Portfolio Management
Our Core Investment Strategy invests primarily in mid- to large-cap U.S. based equities
(“stocks”) with a goal of providing long-term capital growth and steady income from a well-
diversified strategy4. We favor companies in the early stages of a long-term transformation
where the stock’s price has yet to reflect the improving fundamentals of the business.
The FBB Core Investment Strategy also provides clients with portfolio diversification through
ownership of international stocks and a range of fixed-income (“bond”) asset classes.
Information regarding our management fee structure is disclosed under “Portfolio Management
Fee” in Item 5, “Fees & Compensation” and further description of our investment strategies
under Item 8, “Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies & Risk of Loss”.
Financial Planning
In a world dominated by the news of how the market did (or didn’t) perform on any given day,
it is easy to lose sight of the forest through the trees. For most of our clients, investing is a
means to an end, the culmination of a lifetime of saving to achieve a personal or familial goal.
It’s our job to help our clients define those goals in greater detail including timing and financial
specificity as well.
Financial planning is the necessary, yet often overlooked, blocking and tackling of one’s holistic
financial well-being. It is an essential tool to help navigate unexpected events with the
ultimate goal of providing the confidence and security necessary during both the working years
(wealth accumulation) and retirement years (wealth distribution) of your life. However, such
4 You may, at any time,
impose restrictions in writing on the securities we may recommend (i.e., limit the types/amounts of particular
securities purchased for your account, etc.).
planning requires a lifetime commitment, not only from you but from us as well, your
financial planner.
Financial Planning Composition
All forms of financial planning are a mutually defined review, analysis and evaluation of your
personal financial needs and goals. In general, our financial planning may encompass one or
more of the following areas of financial need as communicated by you:
Identify and clarify personal and family core values, mission, vision, and goals.
Preparation of the financial plan, which encompasses your:
Current financial situation.
Liquidity and asset preservation needs.
Wealth accumulation and growth.
Wealth distribution and transfer.
More specifically planning may include, but is not limited to, the following
modules:
Financial Statements – Cash Flow and Balance Sheet.
Savings and Emergency Reserves.
Asset Allocation and Investment Portfolio Analysis.
Potential Income Tax consequences in collaboration with your tax advisor.
Risk Management and Insurance Analysis.
Retirement Income Analysis.
Long-Term Healthcare.
Estate and Family Legacy Planning.
Business Succession Planning.
Outline of recommendations, strategies, solutions and resources.
Prioritizing and implementing the written action plan.
Investment consultations that allow us to create and implement a customized
investment strategy tailored to your long-term investment goals.

Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”), if requested.
Facilitate meetings with you and/or other specialists within our network.
Coordinate and facilitate meetings with family members, business associates,
partners or other key individuals to assist with implementing your action plan.
Preparing the Financial Plan
We gather the necessary information to complete our analysis through personal interviews,
review of various documents supplied by you, and completion of one or more profile
questionnaires. Information gathered may include statements regarding your current
financial status, a list of assets, insurance, wills and/or trust documents, income and
expenses, Social Security eligibility, and other information5 based on your financial status
and future goals.
We rely upon information provided by you. We do not verify any information obtained from
you or your attorney, accountant or other professionals, including information from
custodial/investment statements. In the event that any such information provided is
inaccurate or incomplete, the corresponding results or recommendations will be inaccurate
or incomplete.
We are not a law firm, accounting firm or an insurance agency, and no portion of our services
should be construed as comprehensive financial planning or legal, insurance or accounting

advice. Rather, you should seek the advice of your attorney, insurance agent, accountant or
other corresponding professional advisor with respect to those issues. We do not prepare
estate planning documents or tax returns, nor do we sell insurance products.

Miscellaneous Disclosures
Retirement Clients
When it comes to your retirement account, you have four options to consider when
transitioning employment from one employer to another, or for when you are seeking full
retirement:
Leave the account assets in the former employer’s plan, if permitted;
Transfer the assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available and transfers are
permitted;
Transfer the account assets to an Individual Retirement Account (an “IRA”); or,
Cash out the retirement account assets (There will be tax consequences and/or IRS
penalties depending on your age.).
Should you approach us to advise you on which option would be the best for your particular
situation, we have an economic incentive to recommend you transfer your retirement account
to a managed IRA account with us where we would earn a management fee on the assets. This
can create a potential conflict of interest; the objectivity of the advice we render can be
subjective and a cost to you. Therefore, if we recommend you transfer your retirement
account to an IRA account, you are under no obligation to engage us to manage your assets.
You are free to take your account anywhere.
FBB is a fiduciary, as defined within the meaning of Title I of the Employer Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and/or as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
“Code”) for any asset management and financial planning services provided to a client who is:
(i) a plan participant or beneficiary of a retirement plan subject to ERISA or as described under
the Code; or (ii) the beneficial owner of an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”).
Cash Positions
We consider cash to be an asset class and will allocate a portion of your assets among various
cash and/or cash equivalent positions for liquidity management, defensive, or other purposes.
Therefore, we will include cash and cash equivalents as part of the aggregate fair market value
of your portfolio when calculating our portfolio management fee. When assets are invested in
cash and/or cash equivalents, our portfolio management fee could exceed the current yield on
such cash positions.
