Ferguson-Johnson Wealth Management provides continuous investment management services and financial planning services to clients. The service of investment management or financial planning may be engaged in exclusion of the other or as a combined service. Investment Management The firm specializes in creating process-driven investment strategies to satisfy different risk levels. The investment management of client accounts is based on development of a personalized Investment Policy Statement (IPS). The IPS is developed based on a discussion and review of each client’s objectives and performance goals. The investment advisor will mutually determine with the client what the client “needs” to achieve their stated goals. Allocations for each portfolio are then based on the risk levels dictated by these goals and target allocations are detailed in the IPS. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities types or market sectors and such restrictions are outlined in the IPS. Financial Planning The firm provides financial planning services to clients based on their specific needs. This may involve, but are not limited to: a review of the client’s assets, liabilities, cash-flow, insurance, and estate documents. Typically, the analysis and recommendation of the firm take the form of a financial plan. A financial plan may include, but is not limited to a review and recommendations concerning: net-worth statements, cash flow analysis, investment accounts and holdings, retirement accounts and holdings, insurance policies, benefits of employment, and estate planning documents and plans. The scope of any financial planning engagement is subject to change based on the nature of a client’s specific circumstances. The client must approve any changes to the scope of the services provided before additional work is performed when a fee increase is necessary. Retirement Rollovers-No Obligation/Conflict of Interest: A client leaving an employer typically has four options (and may engage in a combination of these options): 1) leave the money in his former employer’s plan, if permitted, 2) roll over the assets to his/her new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, 3) rollover to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), or 4) cash out the account value

(which could, depending upon the client’s age, result in adverse tax consequences). Ferguson-Johnson Wealth Management may recommend an investor roll over plan assets to an IRA managed by Ferguson-Johnson Wealth Management. As a result, Ferguson-Johnson Wealth Management may earn an asset-based fee; however, a recommendation that a client or prospective client leave their plan assets with their old employer will result in no compensation. Ferguson-Johnson Wealth Management has an economic incentive to encourage an investor to roll plan assets into an IRA that Ferguson-Johnson Wealth Management will manage. There are various factors that Ferguson-Johnson Wealth Management may consider before recommending a rollover, including but not limited to: i) the investment options available in the plan versus the investment options available in an IRA, ii) fees and expenses in the plan versus the fees and expenses in an IRA, iii) the services and responsiveness of the plan’s investment professionals versus those of Ferguson-Johnson Wealth Management , iv) required minimum distributions and age considerations, and vi) employer stock tax consequences, if any. No client is under any obligation to roll over plan assets to an IRA managed by Ferguson-Johnson Wealth Management. Ferguson-Johnson Wealth Management does not participate in, or manage, any wrap fee programs or accounts. Most client accounts are managed on a discretionary basis, using a Trading Authorization Agreement which each client signs and approves when the account is opened.
