Portfolio Management Services
We offer discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management services. Our investment advice is
tailored to meet our clients' needs and investment objectives. If you retain our firm for portfolio
management services, we will meet with you to determine your investment objectives, risk tolerance,
and other relevant information at the beginning of our advisory relationship. We will use the information
we gather to develop a strategy that enables our firm to give you continuous and focused investment
advice and/or to make investments on your behalf. As part of our portfolio management services, we
may customize an investment portfolio for you according to your risk tolerance and investing
objectives. Once we construct an investment portfolio for you, we will monitor your portfolio's
performance on an ongoing basis, and will rebalance the portfolio as required by changes in market
conditions and in your financial circumstances.
If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant
our firm
discretionary authority to manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow us to determine
the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold for your account without
your approval prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority is typically granted by the investment
advisory agreement you sign with our firm and the appropriate trading authorization forms. You may
limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities that can be purchased for
your account) by providing our firm with your restrictions and guidelines in writing. If you enter into non-
discretionary arrangements with our firm, we must obtain your approval prior to executing any
transactions on behalf of your account.
Advisory Consulting Services
We offer consulting services which primarily involves advising clients on specific financial-related
topics or other extraordinary services beyond the normal scope of our Portfolio Management Services.
Wrap Fee Program(s)
