MANAGEMENT
Our firm provides investment management services to clients based on their individual needs.
Through personal discussions in which a client’s goals and objectives are determined based on
a client's particular circumstances, we develop a client's personal investment policy and create
and manage a portfolio based on that policy. During our data gathering process, we determine
the client’s individual objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. As
appropriate, we also review and discuss a client's prior investment history, as well as family
composition and background. This allows us to better determine the appropriate asset
allocation for each individual client, be it a focus on growth, income, growth and income,
capital preservation and the like.
Our investment management services are offered on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis.
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of
