As stated in the above Firm Description, PWAMI offers consulting services on a non-discretionary basis to private clients with respect to asset allocation and asset management. PWAMI will advise its clients as to the optimal allocation of their assets (defined in the advisory agreement as the client’s Account) across different forms of investments and investment managers, including, without limitation, the designation of other investment advisers, who will invest and reinvest assets on behalf of the client. The Firm may give advice as to investments in categories of securities, such as corporate securities, government securities, municipal securities, alternative investments, real estate, etc. 2. PWAMI may offer to its clients the services of other investment advisors, as it identifies managers through due diligence that it believes to be the “best of breed” in the various asset classes. 3. PWAMI offers separately managed accounts to its high net worth and institutional clients that are managed on a discretionary basis by the Firm’s portfolio managers. PWAMI’s investment philosophy is based on the premise that superior long-term investment returns can be achieved by investing in high quality U.S. and overseas companies of sizeable market capitalizations that are financially sound industry leaders, whose earnings are expected to increase at above average rates over time. The hallmark of the strategy is buying leading growth stocks at reasonable valuations. Customized balanced portfolios catering to specific requirements are also available. 4. In terms of the Firm’s two private Funds, the PW Portfolio is a fund-of-funds managed by PWAMI. The Fund is a diversified multi-manager platform providing access to “best of breed” traditional and alternative investment managers. Its objective is to generate for investors absolute returns with low correlation to equity and fixed-income markets. Through a multi-manager strategy, the portfolio is diversified across several uncorrelated investment strategies designed for U.S. taxable investors. The PW Nordic Tech Fund is a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership managed by PWAMI. Its primary purpose is to acquire Class H Shares of TIN Fonder, an equity fund focused on Nordic technology companies whose products and/or services are characterized by a high degree of technological content and companies whose business is characterized by a high degree of research and development. March 30, 2024 - 3 - Tailored Relationships The nature of PWAMI’s primary advisory business is that it tailors its advisory services to the specific needs of the client. Based on suitability information gathered for a particular client, including financial condition, investment objectives, investment risk profile, and other factors that may be relevant to the proposed investments by a client, PWAMI will advise the client about the allocation of their assets across different forms of investments and investment managers, including, without limitation, designation of other portfolio managers, who will actually invest and reinvest within specified asset classes on behalf of the client. Where a client asks the Firm to do so, PWAMI will prepare an Asset Allocation Plan subject to the written approval of the client. PWAMI would then assist the client in the implementation of the Asset Allocation Plan and the reinvestment of cash and securities. On an ongoing basis, the Firm will monitor the performance in a client’s portfolio after the initial Asset Allocation Plan is implemented and report that performance to the client, whether monthly, quarterly, or at intervals requested by the client. PWAMI would also recommend from time to time modifications to the Plan. In the context of this asset allocation approach, PWAMI will tailor its services to the needs and desires of the client. In response to client requests and in addition to the private Funds, PWAMI offers separately managed account services whereby the Firm’s portfolio managers will manage on a discretionary basis a client’s account in accordance either with the Firm’s established investment philosophy of investing for the long term in superior growth stocks, or according to the requirements and restrictions of the client after consultation with a PWAMI adviser. Types of Agreements PWAMI does not conduct
Financial Planning; Hourly Planning; or Tax Preparation services. PWAMI’s traditional business model is to offer clients access to some of the top performing investment managers available across the various asset classes, including equities, fixed income, and alternative investments such as hedge funds, private equity funds, and real estate. The Firm also offers to clients the opportunity to invest in the Firm’s two private Funds, as described herein. In addition, PWAMI applies its fundamental bottom-up research driven investment process to the direct management on a discretionary basis of separate account equity portfolios. Accordingly, the agreements currently employed by the Firm include:  the Advisory Agreement for asset allocation advisory services described above, which do not include discretionary accounts or individual stock or bond selections; March 30, 2024 - 4 -  the Advisory Agreement for separately managed accounts, which include primarily individual equity portfolios based on the Firm’s investment philosophy, specific strategies, or customized to the requirements and restrictions of the client; and,  the Offering Memorandum and Subscription Documents relating to each of the two proprietary private funds managed by PWAMI, the PW Portfolio and the PW Nordic Tech Fund. Investment Advisory Agreements Each advisory client’s investable assets, to which PWAMI gives advice, are referred to in the Investment Advisory Agreements as the client’s “Account.” To clarify, if the client has more than one account with PWAMI for which an investment advisory fee is charged, then the fees computed, including fees charged on new assets and refunds given on withdrawn assets will be based on the combined value of all of the client’s accounts. Accordingly, the group of accounts, for which the advisory agreement is made and the fee is calculated, are referred to as the “Account.” There is no minimum account balance for new advisory or existing clients. Each advisory agreement is entered into at the volition of each party and able to be terminated by either party (see the Termination of Agreement section below). In terms of the Firm’s advisory fee schedule, current client relationships may exist where the fees are higher or lower than the fee schedule below due to a negotiated rate.
