SeaBridge does manage portfolios in other specialized styles. SeaBridge also customizes
portfolios for certain individual client criteria. Where appropriate, we may recommend the use
of an outside manager for certain client accounts under our management. Clients specify their
level of risk tolerance and account objectives and may impose
certain restrictions on the
account (including restricting individual securities or groups of securities from purchase and/or
sale).
SeaBridge offers:
• Discretionary management of individual client accounts
• Advice and recommendations to consultative clients
• Financial planning and consulting
For its discretionary management, SeaBridge manages the client portfolios according to the
client’s individual risk tolerance and objectives within the investment strategy chosen by the
client. SeaBridge makes decisions about trading in the account according to its conclusions
about what would be appropriate for the client account (subject to any account restrictions
specified by the client for the account or any specific instructions by the client, e.g. to raise cash
for a withdrawal). SeaBridge executes the trades for the client accounts, reviews custodian
actions and records for the clients, and votes proxies that SeaBridge receives for the securities
in the client accounts.
For its Financial Planning & Consulting service, SeaBridge provides a variety of standalone
financial planning and consulting services to clients for the management of financial resources
based upon an analysis of current situation, goals, and objectives. Financial planning services
will typically involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial consultation for clients
based on the client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass
Investment Planning, Retirement Planning, Estate Planning, Charitable Planning, Education
Planning, Corporate and Personal Tax Planning, Cost Segregation Study, Corporate Structure,
Real Estate Analysis, Mortgage/Debt Analysis, Insurance Analysis, Lines of Credit Evaluation, or
Business and Personal Financial Planning.
