C. Services
NON-DISCRETIONARY ACCOUNTS. Our primary business consists of providing non-
discretionary advisory services to ultra-high net worth families residing in Latin America. The
services are tailored to the client’s needs. Clients are asked to provide the Firm with information
regarding their financial profile and any restrictions the client wishes to impose on the management
of the accounts. For these non-discretionary accounts, we will recommend an investment strategy,
allocation mix, or changes to the client's existing portfolio that we believe is suitable for that client.
The Firm has an ongoing responsibility to make recommendations to the client based upon the
client's financial and investment profile. We do not buy or sell securities in the account unless the
client approves of the recommendation. Upon approval of a recommendation, we will arrange for
effecting the securities transaction(s) recommended.
DISCRETIONARY ACCOUNTS. We offer discretionary investment management services to our
advisory clients. Clients will be asked to provide us with certain information with respect to their
current financial holdings, investment objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and time horizon.
We will also inquire as to the restrictions the client wishes to impose on the management of the
accounts. From the information that is supplied by the client, we will recommend an allocation
mix and investment strategy that we believe is suitable for that client. We will actively manage the
discretionary account on an ongoing basis in accordance with the account’s investment objective(s).
For a discretionary account, we would have the authority to buy and sell securities in the account
without having to obtain the client’s consent prior to each transaction.
INVESTMENT CONSULTING SERVICES. We provide investment advice and portfolio
analyses and/or recommendations to clients on an ongoing basis. Recommendations
may cover
not only the accounts owned directly by the client but also accounts of entities owned, beneficially
or otherwise, by the client. We will arrange for effecting the securities transaction(s) recommended
only upon the client’s request.
INVESTMENT PRODUCT TYPES. The primary investment vehicles in which client accounts
are invested are mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Occasionally, and based on the needs
and objectives of the client, we may also advise on:
▪ Exchange listed securities;
▪ Securities traded over-the-counter;
▪ Securities issued by foreign issuers, including foreign sovereign debt instruments;
▪ Corporate debt securities;
▪ U.S. government securities;
▪ Structured Products (including reverse convertibles);
▪ Options contracts on securities;
▪ Private placements;
▪ Private equity funds; and
▪ Hedge funds.
CONSULTING SERVICES. Valor offers to clients recommendations and advice regarding
mergers, acquisitions, restructuring, and other financial or business transactions or matters on a
one-time, non-discretionary basis. Valor also provides financial services and analysis and/or
recommendations in connection with client funds, liabilities, collateralized loans, and investments
on an ongoing basis where we prepare or assist in the preparation of various documents and consult
with third-party professionals, such as tax and accounting professionals, in the arranging of loans
and disbursements.
STATEMENT CONSOLIDATION SERVICES. We provide consolidation services where we
prepare and deliver to the client a report itemizing the value of the client’s holdings in each of the
accounts included in the agreement and their collective value on a particular date. The reports
contain information and data about accounts for which we do not provide investment management
services or advise the client. If the client chooses to also subscribe to our management services,
such services are provided through a separate agreement. The consolidation services may be
provided in conjunction with a consulting arrangement.
D. Assets Under Management

$229,653,000 on a discretionary basis and about $2,913,525,000 on a non-discretionary basis.
