Description of Firm
Hudson Portfolio Management LLC is a fee-only registered investment advisor based in Garrison, NY. We are
organized as a limited liability company ("LLC") under the laws of the State of New York. We have been
providing investment advisory services since the beginning of 2004. We manage client portfolios and provide
related investment advice. The principal owner and managing member is Byron S. Stinson. ToyKen Yee is a
Partner of our firm.
The sole business of Hudson Portfolio Management LLC (HPM) is the management of client portfolios and the
provision of related investment advice. HPM does not sell products or services other than portfolio management
and related investment advice to clients.
Portfolio Management Services
Specifically, we offer discretionary portfolio management services to private individuals – including couples and
families – and to related trusts, estates, family or small businesses, and charitable funds. We also provide such
services to unrelated public non-profit or charitable organizations.
We try to structure portfolios to respond to specific client needs and objectives, and to reflect specific client
circumstances such as risk tolerance, and liquidity and cash needs. We do not use target portfolios though it is
possible that clients' portfolios may hold similar investment holdings.
If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant our firm
discretionary authority to manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow us to determine the
specific securities and the amount of securities to be purchased or sold for your account, without seeking your
approval prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority is typically granted by the investment advisory
agreement you sign with our firm and the appropriate brokerage account application and trading authorization
forms.
In providing discretionary portfolio management services, we rarely accept client restrictions on the specific
securities or the types of securities that may be held in your account. But in a very few cases, clients have
requested that certain securities not be purchased or that certain holdings not be sold. If you wish to limit HPM's
discretionary authority, you must provide us with a written list of securities not to be traded.
For certain clients, e.g., top executive of listed companies, investment bankers and certain attorneys, we may
need to obtain "clearance" from the employer's compliance department before we can make certain purchases or
sales.
Investment Advisory and Consulting Services
We
may also furnish investment advice through consultations that are not a part of the portfolio management
services described above. These consulting services primarily involve advising clients on specific investments or
investment-related topics outside of the portfolios we manage. HPM does not provide tax or any other non-
investment financial advice.

Types of Investments
We offer advice on equity securities, warrants, corporate debt securities (including commercial paper),
certificates of deposit, municipal securities, mutual fund shares, United States government securities, options
contracts on securities or commodities, money market funds, REITs, PIPEs, derivatives, structured notes, ETFs,
interests in private partnerships and interests in publicly traded partnerships (PTP).
Additionally, we may advise you on various types of investments based on your stated goals and objectives. We
may also provide advice on any type of investment held in your portfolio at the inception of our advisory
relationship.
IRA Rollover Recommendations
For purposes of complying with the DOL's Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 ("PTE 2020-02") where
applicable, we are providing the following acknowledgment to you. 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 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 interest ahead of yours.
Under this special rule's provisions, we must:
•Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent advice);
•Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice);
•Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
•Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest;
•Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
•Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
We benefit financially from the rollover of your assets from a retirement account to an account that we manage
or provide investment advice, because the assets increase our assets under management and, in turn, our advisory
fees. As a fiduciary, we only recommend a rollover when we believe it is in your best interest, which may occur
because there are far greater investment opportunities in an unrestricted investment account compared with
retirement plans in which the investment opportunities are restricted to a limited menus of mutual funds.
Wrap Fee Programs
We are not the sponsor or manager of a wrap fee program.
Assets Under Management
