gathering session to obtain a complete picture of your financial situation, goals, objectives,
concerns and risk profile. The information gathered by LifeCourse will assist LifeCourse to
provide you with the requested services and customize the services to your financial
situation. Depending on the services you have requested, LifeCourse will gather various
financial information and history from you including, but not limited to:
•Retirement and financial goals

E. As of December 31, 2023 we have $124,457,007 of client assets under our
discretionary management and $1,970,975 of client assets under non-discretionary
management. LifeCourse does not have non-discretionary assets under management.
Investment Management Services
LifeCourse offers a model portfolio management platform. We have designed four model
portfolios. Generally, clients’ accounts are managed based on the model(s) selected for the client.
Therefore, you are advised that your account will be similarly managed and potentially identical to
another client’s account in the same model. If a change is made to the model, the change will be
applied across all clients’ accounts invested like the model.
The model portfolio platform consists of four models that are passively managed.
a)Conservative
b)Moderate
c)Growth
d)Aggressive
The four passively managed portfolios are reviewed and monitored on a quarterly
basis. Rebalancing and reallocation are done on a quarterly or annual basis or more
frequently if deemed appropriate by LifeCourse.
The conservative portfolio is designed for clients primarily seeking current income and low to
moderate capital growth. The moderate portfolio is designed for clients primarily seeking capital
growth and some current income. The growth portfolio is designed for clients primarily seeking
capital growth without any need for income. The aggressive portfolio is designed for clients with a
long-term horizon who are primarily seeking to maximize their long-term returns rather than
minimizing short-term fluctuation.
LifeCourse will provide continuous and ongoing management of your account. Unless otherwise
expressly requested by you, we will manage the account on a discretionary basis and will make
changes to the allocation as we deem appropriate. LifeCourse will determine the securities to be
purchased and sold in the account and will alter the securities holdings from
time to time, without
prior consultation with you. We may actively trade securities and hold such holdings for periods of
30 days or less or maintain positions for longer or shorter-term periods.
If you elect to have your accounts managed on a nondiscretionary basis, no changes will be made
to the allocation of your account without prior consultation with you and your expressed
agreement. Non-discretionary accounts carry risks including the risk of missing market
opportunities since transactions cannot be implemented without your expressed authorization.
Additionally, costs may be higher since your transactions may not participate in block or aggregated
orders.
You are advised that transactions in the account, account reallocations and rebalancing may trigger
a taxable event for you, with the exception of IRA accounts, 403(b) accounts and other qualified
retirement accounts. Since accounts are managed based on the model, LifeCourse does not take
into consideration each client’s individual tax situation when conducting transactions in client
accounts. Therefore, you are advised that the managed account platforms may not be tax efficient.
Qualified Plan Asset Allocation
Clients who want asset allocation recommendations for their individual company retirement
accounts can engage our firm for asset allocation recommendations. However, we will not
participate in the execution of the transactions and will not have access to our clients’ qualified
plan accounts. Implementation is solely at the client’s discretion.
Our firm will provide our clients with suggested allocation changes to their qualified plan account
via email. Our allocation advice will be limited to the options available within the client’s qualified
plan options.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
LifeCourse may provide financial planning and consulting in conjunction with investment
management services. This may include general non-securities advice on topics that may include
insurance, tax and budgetary planning, estate planning and business planning. These services do
not generate a separate fee.
Plans are based on your financial situation at the time and are based on financial information
disclosed by you to LifeCourse. You are advised that certain assumptions may be made with
respect to interest and inflation rates and use of past trends and performance of the market and
economy. However, past performance is not an indication of future performance. LifeCourse
cannot offer any guarantees or promises that your financial goals and objectives will be met.
Further, you must continue to review the plan and update the plan based upon changes in your
financial situation, goals, or objectives or changes in the economy. Should your financial situation
or investment goals or objectives change, you must notify us promptly of the changes. You are
advised that the advice offered by LifeCourse may be limited and is not meant to be
comprehensive. Therefore, you may need to seek the services of other professionals such as an
insurance adviser, attorney and/or accountant.
You are not obligated to implement advice through LifeCourse or our investment advisory
representatives. Should you implement the plan with LifeCourse’s investment advisory
representatives, commissions or other compensation may be received in addition to the advisory
fee paid to LifeCourse.
General Information
You are advised the investment recommendations and advice offered by LifeCourse are not legal
advice or accounting advice. You should coordinate and discuss the impact of financial advice with
your attorney and/or accountant. You are advised that it is necessary to inform LifeCourse
promptly with respect to any changes in your financial situation and investment goals and
objectives. Failure to notify LifeCourse of any such changes could result in investment
recommendations not meeting your needs.
