C. Explanation of whether we tailor our advisory services to the individual needs of clients and
whether clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities:
Each client has the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in
the portfolio. Restrictions on investments in certain securities or types of securities may not be possible
due to the level of difficulty this would entail in managing the account.
D. Wrap Fee Programs:
We do not sponsor any wrap fee programs.
