Prism Planning Partners offers a variety of investment advisory services to our clients with discretionary authority. Prism Planning Partners’ services include investment management, financial planning and consulting services. Prior to providing advisory services, clients are required to enter into a written agreement with Prism Planning Partners. Investment Management Services Prism manages investment portfolios for individuals, trusts, charitable organizations, businesses and qualified retirement plans. Prism will work with a client to determine the client's investment objectives and investor risk profile and will design a written investment policy statement. Prism uses investment and portfolio allocation software to evaluate alternative portfolio designs. Prism evaluates the client's existing investments with respect to the client's investment policy statement. Prism works with new clients to develop a plan to transition from the client's existing portfolio to the portfolio recommended by Prism. Prism will then continuously monitor the client's portfolio holdings and the overall asset allocation strategy and hold review meetings with the client regarding the account as necessary. Prism will typically create a portfolio of no-load mutual funds and may use model portfolios if the models match the client's investment policy. Prism will allocate the client's assets among various investments taking into consideration the overall management style selected by the client. Prism primarily recommends portfolios consisting of passively managed asset class and index mutual funds. Prism primarily recommends mutual funds that follow a passive asset class investment philosophy with low holdings turnover. Client portfolios may also include some individual equity securities in situations where disposition of these securities would present an overriding tax implication or the client specifically requests they be retained for a personal reason. These situations will be specifically identified in the client’s Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”). Prism manages mutual fund and equity portfolios on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis according to the investment policy selected by the client. A client may impose any reasonable restrictions on Prism’s discretionary authority, including restrictions on the types of securities in which Prism may invest client’s assets and on specific securities, which the client may believe to be appropriate. Prism has retained Buckingham Strategic Partners (“BSP”) to act as a discretionary sub-advisor. BSP shall provide various model asset allocation portfolios (each a “Portfolio”, collectively “Portfolios”) for selection by Prism. Each Portfolio strives to achieve long-term risk and return objectives through diversification among multiple asset classes using investment options available to BSP, which may include, but are not limited to, mutual funds and/or exchange traded funds from Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, Bridgeway Capital Management, Inc., AQR Capital Management, LLC, The Vanguard Group, Inc., Stoneridge Asset Management, LLC or other providers selected by Buckingham Strategic Partners. Each Portfolio is designed to meet a particular investment goal which Prism has determined is suitable based on the client's circumstances. Once the appropriate Portfolio(s) has been determined, the Portfolio will continuously be managed based on the portfolio’s goal and BSP will have the discretionary authority to manage the Portfolio(s), including periodically rebalancing. However, Prism, on behalf of its client, will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in the portfolio. Should material life events occur, clients should immediately contact Prism to determine if changes to an account and the allocation of the assets held in the account are necessary. On an ongoing basis, Prism will answer clients’ inquiries regarding their accounts and review periodically with clients the performance of their accounts. Prism will periodically, and at least annually, review clients’ investment policy and discuss the re-balancing of each client's accounts to the extent appropriate. Prism will provide to investment manager any updated client financial information or account restrictions necessary for investment manager to provide sub-advisory services. In addition to managing the client’s investment portfolio, Prism may consult with clients on various financial areas including income and estate tax planning, business sale structures, college financial planning, retirement planning, insurance analysis, personal cash flow analysis, establishment and design of retirement plans and trust designs, among other things.
