Types of Advisory Services Investment Management Services (Ransom Advisory manages accounts) We are in the business of managing individually tailored investment portfolios. Our firm provides continuous advice to a Client regarding the investment of Client funds based on the individual needs of the Client. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on a Client's particular circumstances are established, we develop a Client's personal investment policy or an investment plan with an asset allocation target and create and manage a portfolio based on that policy and allocation targets. We will also review and discuss a Client’s prior investment history,risk tolerance, growth expectations, and overall financial goals.Ransom Advisory meets with Clients at least 2 times a year. During these meetings portfolio performance is reviewed as well as how their performance measures against an applicable index. Changes to the client's individual holdings are discussed, why the changes were made, and how the different investments will meet their overall investment objective. The general market conditions, the economy, and appropriate investments for the coming economic cycle are impactful to these changes.
Account supervision is guided by the stated objectives of the Client (e.g., capital appreciation,conservative growth, income, or growth and income), as well as tax

considerations. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of securities, or industry sectors. Fees pertaining to this service are outlined in Item 5 of this brochure.
Use of Third Party Managers, Outside Managers, or Sub-Advisors (TAMPs) We do not offer the use of Third Party Managers, Outside Managers, or Sub-Advisors (TAMPs) for portfolio management services.
Employee Benefit Plan Services Our firm provides employee benefit plan services to employer plan sponsors on an ongoing basis. Generally, such services consist of assisting employer plan sponsors in establishing, monitoring and reviewing their company's participant-directed retirement plan. As the needs of the plan sponsor dictate, areas of advising could include: investment options, plan structure, and participant education.
In providing employee benefit plan services, our firm does not provide any advisory services with respect to the following types of assets: employer securities, real estate (excluding real estate funds and publicly traded REITS), participant loans, non-publicly traded securities or assets, other illiquid investments, or brokerage window programs (collectively, “Excluded Assets”).
Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions We offer the same suite of services to all of our Clients. However, specific Client financial plans and their implementation are dependent upon the Client Investment Policy Statement which outlines each Client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels) and is used to construct a Client specific plan to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches restrictions, needs, and targets.
