Our firm manages assets for many different types of clients to help meet their financial goals while
remaining sensitive to risk tolerance and time horizons. As a fiduciary, it is our duty to always act
in the client’s best interest. This is accomplished in part by knowing the client. Our firm has
established a service-oriented advisory practice with open lines of communication. Working with
clients to understand their investment objectives while educating them about our process,
facilitates the kind of working relationship we value.
based on individual transaction charges.
We emphasize continuous and regular account supervision. As part of our asset management
service, we generally create a portfolio, consisting of individual stocks or bonds, exchange
traded funds (“ETFs”), options, mutual funds, Variable Annuities and other public and private
securities or investments. The client’s individual investment strategy is tailored to their specific
needs and may include some or all of the previously mentioned securities. Each portfolio will
be initially designed to meet a particular investment goal, which we determine to be suitable to
the client’s circumstances. Once the appropriate portfolio has been determined, we review the
portfolio at least annually and if necessary, rebalance the portfolio based upon the client’s
individual needs, stated goals, and objectives. Each client has the opportunity to place
reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in the portfolio.

Our comprehensive portfolio management service encompasses asset management as well as
providing financial planning/financial consulting to clients. It is designed to assist clients in
meeting their financial goals through the use of financial investments. We conduct at least one,
but sometimes
more than one meeting (in person if possible, otherwise via telephone or
videoconference) with clients in order to understand their current financial situation, existing
resources, financial goals, and tolerance for risk. Based on what we learn, we propose an
investment approach to the client. We may propose an investment portfolio, consisting of ETFs,
mutual funds, individual stocks or bonds, or other securities. Upon the client’s agreement to the
proposed investment plan, we work with the client to establish or transfer investment accounts
so that we can manage the client’s portfolio. Once the relevant accounts are under our
management, we review such accounts on a regular basis and at least annually. We may
periodically rebalance or adjust client accounts under our management. If the client
experiences any significant changes to his/her financial or personal circumstances, the client
must notify us so that we can consider such information in managing the client’s investments.
