Overview
A. Description of the Advisory Firm

organized in the State of South Carolina. The firm was formed in December 2016,
registered as an investment adviser in January 2019 and the principal owner is Bruce
Brenner Wood.
B. Types of Advisory Services
Portfolio Management Services
HHCP offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals,
objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. HHCP creates an Investment
Policy Statement for each client, which outlines the client’s current situation (income, tax
levels, and risk tolerance levels) and then constructs a plan to aid in the selection of a
portfolio that matches each client's specific situation. Portfolio management services
include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Investment strategy • Personal investment policy
• Asset allocation • Asset selection
• Risk tolerance • Regular portfolio monitoring
HHCP evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance
levels and time horizon. As accepted in each client agreement, HHCP will 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, which is given to each client.
HHCP seeks to provide that investment decisions are made in accordance with the
fiduciary duties owed to its accounts and without consideration of HHCP’s economic,
investment or other financial interests. To meet its fiduciary obligations, HHCP attempts
to avoid, among other things, investment or trading practices that systematically
advantage or disadvantage certain client portfolios, and accordingly, HHCP’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 HHCP’s policy to allocate
investment opportunities and transactions it identifies as being appropriate and prudent
among its clients on a fair and equitable basis over time.
HHCP will charge each account an administration fee which includes but is not limited to
accounting and fee processing, enhanced reporting, and other administrative services.
Consulting Services
HHCP will offer clients an ongoing consulting relationship where the representative will
provide advice and guidance on a client’s overall financial situation. This service can
include
investment advice, financial planning, or other service agreed upon between the
client and HHCP. This service is available to existing Portfolio Management clients as an
added service, or as a standalone service to new clients. The scope of each engagement
will be detailed in a separate Consulting Services agreement between the client and
HHCP.
Selection of Other Advisers Services
HHCP will direct clients to third-party investment advisers to manage all or a portion of
the client's assets. The decision to use a third-party investment adviser will be determined
by HHCP and is dependent on each client’s unique goals and objectives. Before selecting
other advisers for clients, HHCP will always ensure those other advisers are properly
licensed or registered as an investment adviser. HHCP conducts due diligence on any
third-party investment adviser, which will involve one or more of the following: phone
calls, meetings and review of the third-party adviser's performance and investment
strategy. HHCP then makes investments with a third-party investment adviser by
referring the client to the third-party adviser. HHCP will review the ongoing performance
of the third-party adviser as a portion of the client's portfolio.
Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments
HHCP generally limits its investment advice to mutual funds, fixed income securities,
equities, ETFs and treasury inflation protected/inflation linked bonds, although HHCP
primarily recommends equities. HHCP will use other securities as well to help diversify
a portfolio when applicable.
C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
HHCP 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 HHCP on behalf of the client. HHCP will use model allocations
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.
