TYPES OF ADVISORY SERVICES OFFERED
Investment Management
Adviser offers discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisory services to individuals,
high net worth individuals, families, and retirement plan accounts. The Adviser uses a time-tested,
disciplined approach to investing. The Adviser is a “total portfolio” manager using an active,
diversified investment approach. The Adviser believes that a portfolio should be diversified, and
excess returns can be achieved by overweighting undervalued asset classes and investment
styles. Typically, the Adviser tailors the portfolios to the individual needs of our clients by
developing an investment policy statement with each client. The written investment policy
statement sets forth the client’s investment guidelines and objectives, which the Adviser uses to
guide us in making investment decisions for each client. For discretionary accounts, we are
authorized to perform various functions without further approval from the client, such as the
determination of securities to be purchased or to be sold for the client’s account without
permission from the client prior to each transaction. For non-discretionary investment advisory
services, Adviser will obtain client approval prior to taking any action in the account, including but
not limited to, executing trades. We do not act as custodian of client assets, and the client will
always maintain control of their assets.
Financial Planning, Consulting Services, & Financial Education Services
The Adviser provides financial planning, consulting and plan update services to individuals and
businesses consistent with the clients’ financial and tax status, in addition to their risk profile and
return objectives.
The Adviser starts the financial planning process by gathering information through a personal
interview and taking a financial inventory. This generally involves gathering enough data to
perform an analysis of client liabilities, cash flow, net worth and tax assessments. The Adviser’s
next step typically involves assisting clients with formalizing their goals and plotting their
investment timeline as part of the financial planning process.
Written financial plans or financial consultations rendered to clients usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the client begin or revise investment programs, create or
revise wills or trusts, obtain or revise insurance coverage, commence or alter retirement savings,
or establish education or charitable giving programs. The Adviser may also provide non-securities
advice on topics that may include but are not limited to, business, retirement, estate, budgetary,
college, personal, and tax planning. It should be noted that the Adviser refers clients to
accountants, attorneys or other specialists, as necessary for non-advisory related services.
We help both clients and their legal teams better understand the impact of the financial decisions
they make today and how that can impact the client’s financial future through divorce consulting.
We do not provide legal advice or draft legal documents, but recommend clients seek the counsel
of an attorney as needed.
The Adviser also provides education services about general investment principles. Some
education services are provided as presentations to employees at the request of an employer, or
during a classroom environment. Education presentations will not take into account the individual
circumstances of the attendees and individualized recommendations will not be provided unless
otherwise agreed upon.
Financial Planning & Consulting Conflicts of Interest
There is a conflict of interest because there is an incentive for the Adviser when offering financial
planning services to recommend products or services for which the Adviser or an associated
person may receive compensation. However, financial planning clients are under no obligation to
act upon any recommendations of the Adviser or to execute any transactions through the Adviser
or an associated person if they decide to follow the recommendations.
Retirement Plan Services
The Advisor offers services to both plan sponsors and participants of retirement plans. Such
services many consist of assisting employer plan sponsors in establishing, monitoring and
reviewing their company’s participant-directed retirement plan. In providing employee benefit
plan services, Advisor does not provide any advisory services with respect to the following type
of assets: employer securities, real estate (excluding real estate funds and publicly trade REITS),
participant loans, non-publicly traded securities or assets, other illiquid investments (collectively
“Excluded Assets”).
Advisor offers assistance in creating and establishing a plan’s asset allocation and in evaluating,
and monitoring investment options. This may include reviewing appropriate investment options
for the plan, asset classes and investment styles, evaluating and recommending investment
managers, types and selection of investment options.
We may also conduct periodic reviews of
the plan’s investments to evaluate performance, risk characteristics and expenses and
recommend changes where appropriate.
In addition, we may also work directly with plan participants to help them evaluate their
retirement savings goals, determine appropriate investments for their specific retirement
accounts, and implement appropriate contribution amounts and investments available in the plan.
Advisor services plan participants on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis, pursuant to the
plan documents and the plan participants preference.
All pension consulting services follow the applicable state law(s) regulating pension consulting
services. This applies to client accounts that are pension or other employee benefit plans (“Plan”)
governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). If
the client accounts are part of a Plan, and the Adviser accepts appointments to provide our
services to such accounts, the Adviser acknowledges that we are a fiduciary within the meaning
of Section 3(21) of ERISA (but only with respect to the provision of services described Advisor’s
401K Investment Management Agreement).
The Firm does not act as custodian for any client account.

Third Party Money Managers
The Adviser has established relationships with other investment advisers that offer a variety of
investment advisory programs and services that include separate account portfolio management
programs, asset allocation programs, wrap fee programs, and financial planning services. These
other investment advisers are registered investment advisers or exempt from registration as
investment advisers. The Adviser’s Investment Adviser Representatives (“IARs”) may recommend
these other investment advisers to clients based on clients’ financial needs.
Clients should understand that referral fees paid by these other investment advisers to the Adviser
and the Adviser IARs may differ from one investment adviser to another investment adviser. Such
conflicts may affect the independent judgment of the Adviser’s IARs in the selection of other
investment advisers that they recommend to clients. Establishing and terminating accounts with
other investment advisers is dependent on the other investment advisers’ termination policies
and procedures. A complete description of these other investment adviser programs, services,
termination provisions, and related fees and charges are described in these investment advisers’
agreements and their Form ADV Part 2 Disclosure Brochures.
The Adviser’s referrals to other investment adviser services are tailored to the individual needs of
each client. The Adviser obtains financial information from prospective clients to determine the
suitability of the Adviser’s referrals to other investment adviser services. Each client may impose
restrictions on the types of referrals provided by the Adviser. The Adviser’s IARs will be
continuously available to meet with clients who are referred to these other investment advisers
and open investment advisory accounts or establish financial planning services with these other
investment advisers.
TAILORED RELATIONSHIPS
Advisor offers the same suite of services to all of its clients. The management services and
recommendations offered by the Advisor are based on the individual needs of our clients and the
suitability of products and services. Specific client financial plans and their implementation are
dependent upon each client’s current situation (income, objectives, and risk tolerance levels) and
is used to construct a client specific plan to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches
restrictions, needs, and targets.
Clients have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be
held in their portfolio. However, restrictions on investments in certain securities or types of
securities may not be possible due to the level of difficulty this would entail in managing the
account.
WRAP FEE PROGRAMS
The Adviser does not offer a wrap fee program.
