Discretionary Services
A client, upon engaging Hood River as its discretionary investment manager, must select one of Hood
River’s investment strategies for their portfolio. The client can change the investment strategy upon
written request to Hood River. Hood River tailors its advisory services to the specific investment objectives
and restrictions of each client account and upon agreement with a client upon specific investment policies
or guidelines. Clients can impose restrictions on their account by discussing desired investment limitations
with Hood River and providing a list of such limitations in writing. Hood River manages its clients’ accounts
in accordance with the stated investment objectives, financial situation, risk tolerance, account
restrictions, and account guidelines identified in each client’s signed investment advisory agreement and
investment policy statement.
In addition, Hood River may manage taxable portfolios differently from tax-exempt portfolios that have
selected the same investment strategy unless directed otherwise by the client. Hood River does not
typically accept an account that has check writing privileges or margin accounts. However, Hood River has
the right to accept such accounts at its sole discretion.
Non-Discretionary Services
Under limited circumstances, Hood River may agree to advise clients on a non-discretionary basis. The
services that Hood River provides to non-discretionary accounts and the fee charged for such services are
individually negotiated with each client.
