INVESTMENT ADVICE:
Our investment advising service usually begins with an analysis of a Client’s current (pre-
Perspective Wealth) investment portfolio to identify strengths, weaknesses, and recommended
areas of improvement – especially in the areas of risk, return, asset allocation, and cost structure.
Next, a tailored portfolio matching Client risk tolerance, return expectations, and time horizon
is developed and documented in the form of a written Investment Policy Statement (IPS). After
agreement on the IPS, the portfolio is then implemented.
Following implementation, the investment portfolio is monitored and rebalanced as
necessary. At the same time, we continuously evaluate new investments and investing strategies
for suitability and use within the investment portfolio.
An investment performance review is delivered quarterly to each Client. The review covers
performance against financial plan goals, and performance of individual investments against
their target benchmarks.
FINANCIAL PLANNING:
Perspective Wealth Partners, LLC also provides an optional financial planning service for our
Clients wishing to use our advisory services. At the onset of a professional relationship, we
work with each Client to better understand their objectives and concerns. Based on this
information, we will prepare a written financial plan for all financial planning Clients. The plan
includes gathering all information necessary to provide each Client with appropriate and agreed
upon services, which may include one or more of the following: Budgeting and cash flow
planning, disability planning and income protection, business succession planning, retirement
planning and investment planning. The plan considers all Client assets, liabilities, goals and
objectives.
ADVANCED FINANCIAL PLANNING:
Clients have a lot more at stake than just their investment portfolio. Advanced financial
planning covers the numerous and broad areas Clients will undoubtedly face at one time or
another. These areas most often encompass:
• Core financial planning (retirement and education funding goals)
• Wealth preservation (tax minimizing strategies)
• Wealth protection (asset protection and life insurance needs)
• Wealth transfer (estate structure and charitable or family gifting desires)
C Our advice and services are tailored to the stated objectives of each Client. Perspective Wealth
Partners develops a written Investment Policy Statement (IPS) for each Client. The IPS is
informed by the Client’s financial plan and emotional tolerance for risk. It serves as the
foundational roadmap for the investment portfolio. Developing and consistently adhering to
an investment policy allows our Clients to focus on the long term goals of their financial plan,
rather than become caught up in the short term movements of the equity markets. All
transactions in a Client’s account are made in accordance with the directions and preferences
provided to us by the Client.
In order to best serve their needs, we encourage our Clients to notify us of any life events or
financial changes that could affect their individual financial circumstances and needs.
D We do not participate in or sponsor any wrap-fee programs.
E When we recommend that you rollover retirement assets or transfer existing retirement assets
(such as a 401(k) or an IRA) to our management, we have a conflict of interest. This is because
we will generally earn additional revenue when we manage more assets. In making the
recommendation, however, we do so only after determining that the recommendation is in
your best interest. Further, in making any recommendation to transfer or rollover retirement
assets, we do so as a “fiduciary,” as that term is defined in ERISA or the Internal Revenue
Code, or both. We also acknowledge we are a fiduciary under ERISA or the Internal Revenue
Code with respect to our ongoing investment advisory recommendations and discretionary
asset management services, as described in the advisory agreement we execute with you. To
the extent we provide non-fiduciary services to you, those will be described in the advisory
agreement.
F As of December 31, 2023, Perspective Wealth Partners managed $576,578,068 of Client assets
on a non-discretionary basis and $0 Client assets on a discretionary basis.
