advisory and industry benchmarking. Clients are billed an hourly rate based upon the
level of professional who contributes to the overall project. Client signs an engagement
letter before any work is begun. Hourly rates range from $250.00 per hour to $500.00 per

Individual Investor Services (Individual Investor Services are a secondary business of
Reedmark Advisors. Reedmark’s primary business is providing services directly to retirement
plans).
Reedmark will assist individual clients with portfolio advisory services based on the
individual goals, objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. Reedmark will
create an Investment Policy Statement for each client which outlines the client’s current
situation including income, tax, and risk tolerance levels and then construct a plan to
aid selecting a portfolio matching each client's specific situation. Portfolio advisory
services include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Investment strategy • Personal investment policy
• Asset allocation • Asset/fund selection
• Risk tolerance • Regular portfolio monitoring
Reedmark evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to risk tolerance
and time horizon. Reedmark may request discretionary authority from clients in order to
select securities and execute transactions without permission from the client prior to each
transaction. Risk tolerance levels are documented in the Investment Policy Statement.
Each client must approve the Investment Policy Statement by
execution of a copy of said
statement.
Reedmark seeks to provide investment decisions that made in accordance with the
fiduciary duty owed to its clients without consideration of Reedmark’s economic,
investment or other financial interests. To meet its fiduciary obligations, Reedmark
attempts to avoid, among other things, investment or trading practices that systematically
advantage or disadvantage certain client portfolios, and accordingly, Reedmark’s policy
is to seek fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities/transactions among its
clients to avoid favoring one client over another over time. It is Reedmark’s policy to
allocate appropriate and prudent investment opportunities and transactions among its
clients on a fair and equitable basis over time.
Selection of Other Advisers
Reedmark may direct clients to third-party investment advisers to manage all or a portion
of the client's assets. Before selecting other advisers for clients, Reedmark will always
ensure those other advisers are properly licensed or registered as an investment adviser.
Reedmark then makes investments with a third-party investment adviser by referring the
client to the third-party adviser. These investments may be allocated either through the
third-party adviser's fund or through a separately managed account managed by such
third party adviser on behalf of Reedmark's client. Reedmark may also allocate among
one or more private equity funds or private equity fund advisers. Reedmark will not
review the ongoing performance of the third-party adviser as a portion of the client's
portfolio.
Reedmark will tailor a program for each individual client. This will include an interview
session to get to know the client’s specific needs and requirements as well as a plan that
will be executed by Reedmark on behalf of the client. Reedmark may use “model
portfolios” together with a specific set of recommendations for each client based on their
personal restrictions, needs, and targets. Clients may impose restrictions in investing in
certain securities or types of securities in accordance with their values or beliefs.
