Wealth Management Services
Wealth management services consist of ongoing financial planning and discretionary investment management
services where we manage our clients’ investments within the larger context of the client’s overall wealth
management and planning process.
These services include an initial consultation along with follow up consultations, as may be agreed, to discuss
your unique investment objectives, time horizon, risk tolerance, tax circumstances, and various other financial
factors. Based on our evaluation of the foregoing factors, 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 wealth management services, we will customize an investment
portfolio for you in accordance with the comprehensive financial plan that we create as part of our onboarding
process. Once we construct an investment portfolio for you, we will monitor your portfolio's performance on an
ongoing basis, and will periodically rebalance the portfolio as required by, among other things, changes in
market conditions and in your financial circumstances. Clients are required to notify our firm immediately if
their financial circumstances and/or investment objectives change from what has already been disclosed to our
firm.
If you engage our firm for wealth management services, you must grant our firm discretion over the selection
and number of securities to be purchased or sold for your account(s). Discretionary authority enables our firm
to execute transactions within your account without obtaining your consent or approval prior to each
transaction. In limited circumstances and in our sole discretion, we may accept instructions from you that limit
our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities that can be purchased or sold for your
account). Such requests must be presented to our firm in writing. Please refer to Item 16 of this Brochure for
more information on how we manage your account(s) with discretion. We do not sponsor, manage, or
participate in any wrap fee programs.
Our wealth management services include complimentary ongoing tax preparation and filing services.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
We offer financial planning and consulting services where we provide a variety of advisory services to clients
regarding the management of their financial assets based upon an analysis of their individual needs. These
services can range from broad-based financial planning with investment recommendations to consultative or
single subject planning.
Financial planning and consulting services are
based on your financial situation at the time we present our
recommendations to you, and on the financial information you provide to us. You must promptly notify our firm
if your financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs change. You are under no obligation to act on our financial
consulting recommendations. Should you choose to act on any of our recommendations you are not obligated
to implement such recommendations through any of our other investment advisory services, and you may act
on our recommendations by placing securities transactions with any brokerage firm.
Tax Preparation and Filing Services
As part of our financial planning and consulting services, we also provide stand-alone tax preparation and filing
services.
Retirement Plan Consulting Services
We offer retirement plan consulting services to employee benefit plans and their fiduciaries based upon the
needs of the plan and the services requested by the plan sponsor or named fiduciary. In general, these services
may include an existing plan review and analysis, plan-level advice regarding fund selection and investment
options, investment management, education services to plan participants, investment performance monitoring,
and/or ongoing consulting. The ultimate decision to act on behalf of the plan shall remain with the plan sponsor
or other named fiduciary.
We may assist with participant enrollment meetings and provide investment-related educational seminars to
plan participants on such topics as: Diversification; Asset allocation; Risk tolerance; and Time horizon. Our
educational seminars may include other investment-related topics specific to the particular plan. We may also
provide additional types of consulting services to plans on an individually negotiated basis. All services, whether
discussed above or customized for the plan based upon requirements from the plan fiduciaries (which may
include additional plan-level or participant-level services) shall be detailed in a written agreement and be
consistent with the parameters set forth in the plan documents.
Sub-Advisory Management Services
We offer sub-advisory portfolio management services to unaffiliated third-party investment advisers (the
"Primary Investment Adviser") and their clients where we manage assets on a discretionary basis as a sub-
advisor using specific portfolio strategies developed by our firm. Discretionary authorization will allow us to
determine the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold within our investment
strategies. The Primary Investment Adviser will have the initial and ongoing responsibility to collect client
suitability.
Types of Investments
We may advise you on any type of investment that we deem appropriate based on your stated goals and
objectives. We may also provide advice on any type of investment held in your portfolio at the inception of our
advisory relationship. Since our investment strategies and advice are based on each client’s specific financial
situation, the investment advice we provide to you may be different or conflicting with the advice we give to
other clients regarding the same security or investment. We do not participate in a wrap fee program.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2023, we manage approximately $110,717,196 in client assets on a discretionary basis.
