4b: Types of Advisory Services
Investment Management
Hollingsworth Avent Averre & Purvis, P.A. offers a variety of investment advisory services to our clients. We
work with our clients to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance in order to
create an initial portfolio allocation designed to complement their clients’ financial goals and objectives. We
may create a portfolio, consisting of, but not limited to individual stocks or bonds, exchange traded funds,
no-load funds and/or load-waived funds (front-end commissions will not be charged).
Each portfolio will be initially designed to meet a particular investment goal, which HAA&P has determined
to be suitable to our client’s circumstances. Once the appropriate portfolio has been determined, we will
review the portfolio and rebalance the account based upon our client’s individual needs, stated goals and
objectives. HAA&P’s strategy, generally, will be to seek to meet client investment objectives while providing
clients with access to personal advisory services.
401(k) and Retirement Consulting
Hollingsworth Avent Averre & Purvis, P.A. offers 401(k) and retirement plan advisory services and
consulting, many of which may be subject to ERISA requirements. If we make recommendations or provide
advice related to a retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the
meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") and/or the Internal Revenue
Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts.
The levels of these services vary widely depending on the needs of the plan sponsor or plan advisor.
Typically, we work in concert with other pension related investment, administrative and design
professionals. Our expertise is that of analyst, strategist and consultant. Our job is to analyze plan structures
and to recommend unique design enhancements that improve participant results, minimizes fiduciary risk
exposure while optimizing
plan costs.
In the event we recommend a client rollover their retirement plan assets into an account to be managed by
our firm or (where applicable) recommend the purchase of a retail investment product, such a
recommendation creates a conflict of interest because we will be compensated if you follow our
recommendation.
To manage this conflict, we operate under a special ERISA rule relating to retirement assets that requires us
to act in your best interest and not put our interests ahead of yours.
Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.

While not always the case, a client or prospective client leaving an employer typically has the below four
options regarding an existing retirement plan:
1. Retain the assets in the former employer’s plan;
2. Rollover the assets to a Traditional IRA or Roth IRA;
3. Rollover the assets to the plan of a new employer; or
4. Receive a cash distribution.
Deciding which of the above options are right for you can be a complex process. For that reason, we will
discuss each option after we conduct a careful analysis. Additionally, we provide a written "Retirement
