Investment Management
The Adviser provides continuous investment supervisory services to high net worth individuals, trusts,
estates, charitable organizations and corporations, limited liability companies and other business

circumstances, the Adviser may also provide advice with respect to investments (regardless of type)
held in a client’s portfolio at the beginning of the advisory relationship
Subadvisory Services
Riverbend may act as a subadviser to another adviser’s clients, particularly as to the construction and
management of bond portfolios. In general, Riverbend enters into a contract with the adviser and
tailors its services according to the information provided by the hiring adviser.
Financial Consulting
We also provide financial consulting services to high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, charitable
organizations and corporations, financial institutions, limited liability companies and other business
entities. In accordance with the client’s goals and objectives, and based upon an analysis of the client’s
existing portfolio, assets, or other investments, the Adviser offers financial consulting services with
respect to several types of investments, including but not limited to municipal bonds, fixed-income
securities, corporate debt securities, commercial paper, mutual funds, and U.S. government securities.
Financial consultations rendered to clients usually include general observations regarding the structure
and credit quality of the client’s existing portfolio and recommendations regarding a course of action
with respect to the client’s future investments and/or reinvestments of assets. Financial consultations
are typically completed on an “as needed” basis. Implementation of the recommendations will be at
the discretion of the client.
Riverbend does not provide financial planning services.
Tailoring of Advisory Services to Client Needs and Discretionary Authority:
Investment Management Clients
Riverbend offers individualized investment advice to its investment management clients. The Adviser
accepts discretionary authority over its investment management client accounts. For clients who elect
to give the Adviser discretion over their investment advisory accounts, the Adviser will make all
investment decisions, including determinations with respect to purchasing, holding or selling
individual securities, as well as investment decisions regarding portfolio asset allocation and
rebalancing, and otherwise have full discretionary authority over the client’s investment portfolio
pursuant to a written investment advisory agreement between the client and the Adviser
Clients are advised to promptly notify the Adviser if there are any changes in their financial situation
or investment objectives, or if they wish to impose any reasonable restrictions upon the Adviser’s
management services. Each client has the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of
investments to be held in their portfolio. Restrictions on investments in certain securities or types of
securities may not be possible in certain instances. Moreover, investment restriction would be limited
to Riverbend’s investment management services. Riverbend does not manage assets through its
financial consulting services.
Financial Consulting Clients
Riverbend offers general investment advice to its financial consulting clients. Implementation of the
Adviser’s investment advice remains at the discretion of the client, as Riverbend does not manage
assets through its financial consulting services.

The Adviser does not offer any wrap fee programs.
Assets Under Management:
As of December 31, 2023, Riverbend had $662,349,241 assets under management on a discretionary
