B. Advisory Services Offered
Perennial provides wealth advisory and investment management services for Clients. Clients may elect to receive
wealth advisory services, investment management services or a combination of both.
Wealth Advisory – Investment Advisory Services
Perennial’s wealth advisory philosophy is predicated on understanding our Clients’ financial situation and providing
customized advice to address their circumstances and goals. For Clients seeking investment advisory services,
Perennial strives to achieve their investment objectives through an appropriate asset allocation that reflects their
risk parameters. Perennial takes a customized approach to advising Clients, using an iterative, analytical process to
design practical investment plans and specific strategies to support Clients’ goals and investment objectives.
Wealth Advisory – Financial Advisory Services
Perennial provides a variety of financial advisory services, including financial planning (education, retirement and
estate), investment-related tax minimization strategies (income deferral, charitable planning and gain/loss
harvesting) and coordination with Clients’ tax, accounting and legal advisors as needed. Typically, these services
encompass one or more areas of need. Depending on a particular Client’s financial situation, Perennial will usually
include general recommendations for a course
of action to be considered and/or taken by the Client.
Financial planning recommendations may pose a potential conflict between our interests and the interests of the
Client. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made by Perennial or maintain an ongoing
relationship with us.
Investment Management – Portfolio Management Services
Portfolio management services are primarily provided on a discretionary basis but may also be provided on a non-
discretionary basis. For Clients who grant Perennial discretionary investment authority, Perennial will determine
which securities are bought and sold in a Client’s account using general guidelines set up at the inception of our
relationship with the Client. These general guidelines include, but are not limited to, the relative proportions of
cash, fixed income and equity securities; the degree of risk that the Client wishes to assume; and the types and
amounts of securities that constitute an investment portfolio. Individual, separately managed Client accounts may
have different asset allocations, different securities and/or different amounts of specific securities to reflect Clients’
specific objectives and risk parameters. Clients may impose restrictions on Perennial’s investment discretion with
respect to certain securities, asset classes or industry sectors; however, this may affect their investment results.
For Clients who request that Perennial provide portfolio management services on a non-discretionary basis,
Perennial will obtain the Client’s consent before executing any trade on the Client’s behalf.
Investment Management - Alternative Investment Services
Perennial offers investment advice to some Clients with respect to partnerships and other private entities engaging
in investment strategies including, but not limited to, private equity, venture capital, real estate, structured credit
and specialized segments of publicly traded securities markets.
C. Wrap Fee Programs
Perennial does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program.
