General Description of Primary Advisory Services
The advisory services we provide are investment advisory (asset management) services, financial
planning services, and qualified retirement plan services (which we refer to as “Fiduciary Services”).
Following are brief descriptions of our primary services:
Financial Planning Services - We provide advisory services in the form of financial planning services.
Financial planning services do not involve the active management of client accounts, but instead focus on
a client’s overall financial situation. Financial planning can be described as helpin
g individuals determine
and set their
long-term financial goals through
investments, tax planning, asset allocation, risk
management, retirement planning, and
other areas. The
role of a financial planner is to find ways to help
the client understand his/he
r overall financial situation and help the
client set financia
l objectives.
Asset Management Services - We provide advisory services in the form of asset management
services, which we refer to as “investment advisory services”. Asset management services involve
providing continuous and on-going supervision over client accounts. This means that we will
continuously monitor a client’s account and make trades in client accounts when necessary.
More detailed descriptions of each of our advisory services is provided in Item 5 – Fees and
Compensation so that clients and prospective clients can review the description of services and
description of fees in a side-by-side manner. Overall,
the services we provide utilize no-load passively
managed mutual funds and ETFs with an emphasis on fee transparency and cost minimization to our
clients.

securities traded over-the-counter), variable annuities, corporate debt securities (other than commercial
paper), certificates of deposit, municipal securities, investment company securities, and United States
government securities. All other items listed above represent types of investments for which we do not
regularly render advice; however, from time to time we may be required to evaluate investments of these
types acquired by our clients prior to establishing a relationship for services with us. We generally do not
recommend that clients invest in options and futures programs.
The primary vehicles we use for investing are no-load mutual funds and ETFs (exchange traded funds).
Portfolios generally include funds managed by Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA), which are passive asset
class funds.
With respect to partnerships we do not recommend purchase of public programs due to their illiquidity
and the fee structures. Occasionally, we recommend public real estate investment trusts (REITS) for
certain clients who desire to include real estate in their asset allocation strategy.
We also evaluate insurance products such as annuities and various types of life insurance products.
