General Description of Primary Advisory Services
We offer personalized investment advisory services including asset management and financial planning
services (review and action services, newsletters). The following are brief descriptions of our primary
services. A detailed description is provided in Item 5, Fees and Compensation, so that clients and
prospective clients (“client” or “you”) can review the services and description of fees in a side-by-side
manner.
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement
accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a
special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interests ahead of yours.
Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
Asset Management
We offer asset management services providing clients with continuous and on-going supervision over
their accounts. This means that we will continuously monitor a client’s account and make trades in that
account when necessary.
Financial Planning
We offer review and action services to clients also contracting for personalized wealth management
services. We gather information and documentation to assess a client’s current financial situation,
objectives and goals. Clients receive an oral and/or written action report that includes an analysis of the
client’s assets and high-level action items to help them meet their objectives and goals.
Pension Plan Consulting
We offer pension consulting services to employee benefit plans based upon an analysis of the needs of
the plan. These services may include an existing plan review, formation of the investment policy
statement, asset allocation advice, investment performance monitoring, and/or communication and
education
services where we assist the client in providing meaningful information regarding the
retirement plan to its participants. However, we do not have discretion over the administration of the
plan or the plan assets. Advice to plan participants is limited to general, impersonal advice.
The scope of these services, the fees, and the terms of the agreement for these services are negotiated
on a case-by-case basis with each client depending upon the on the complexity of the plan and the
agreement with the client. The terms regarding payment of fees, termination, and refund will be clearly
set forth in the agreement executed between our firm and the client.
These accounts are regulated under the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA"). We
provide consulting services to the client as described above. The client must make the ultimate decision
as to retaining the services of such investment advisers as we recommend. The client is free to seek

Tailor Advisor Services to Individual Needs of Clients
Our services are always provided based on your specific needs. You are given the ability to impose
restrictions on your accounts, including specific investment selections and sectors. However, we will not
