Types of Advisory Services
Portfolio Management and Investment Advice
We provide ongoing investment advice and management of client assets. We work with each client to ensure that
we understand the client’s situation, including the client’s specific financial goals, investment objectives, income
and expenses, assets and debts, risk tolerance, family circumstances that could impact expenses going forward,
and time horizon. We review the client’s current asset allocation, if any, and prepare an asset allocation for an
investment portfolio based on the client’s objectives. We identify suitable investments for the portfolio and will
recommend or invest your funds accordingly. We monitor the performance of the portfolio created and rebalance
assets as necessary in line with the client’s objectives.
The types of investments we employ in implementing your investment strategy are mutual funds, exchange-
traded funds (“ETFs”), listed securities, and annuities. Clients may request in writing that we not invest in certain
securities or types of securities. We will honor clients’ requests if reasonably feasible; if not, we will discuss it
with the client.
Financial Planning Services
We offer comprehensive reviews and assessments of the client’s present financial condition based on information
provided by the client and prepare a summary of our recommendations. The recommendation report takes into
account the
client’s goals, objectives, and risk parameters. A financial plan can include all or some of the
following areas.
• Net worth and cash flow evaluation
• Investment management
• Education planning
• Income tax and insurance planning
• Retirement planning and projections
• Estate planning issues
Financial plans are not limited to products or services provided by any particular company. In general, however,
we recommend only products and services that we are able to provide through the custodians we use. (For more
information about the custodians, see Item 12, below.) Unless the client engages us to provide portfolio
management, the implementation of financial plan recommendations is entirely at the discretion of the client.
