SERVICES OFFERED At the outset of our relationship, SHWM spends time with you asking questions, discussing your investment experience and financial circumstances, and broadly identifying your major goals. You may elect to retain us to prepare a full financial plan. This plan is presented to you for consideration. In most cases, clients subsequently retain us to manage their investment portfolio on an ongoing basis. For those financial planning clients making this election, and for other clients who do not need financial planning but retain us for portfolio management services, based on all the information initially gathered, we generally develop with you:
• a financial outline for you based on your financial circumstances and goals, and your risk tolerance level (the “Financial Profile” or “Profile”);
• your investment objectives and guidelines (the “Investment Plan” or “Plan”). The Financial Profile is a reflection of your current financial picture and a look to your future goals. The Investment Plan outlines the types of investments we will make on your behalf to meet those goals. The Profile and the Plan are discussed regularly with you, but are not necessarily written documents. Finally, where we provide only limited financial planning or general consulting services, we will work with you to prepare an appropriate summary of the specific project(s) to the extent necessary or advisable under the circumstances. Financial Planning One of the services offered by us is financial planning, as described below. This service may be provided as a stand-alone service, or may be coupled with ongoing portfolio management. Financial planning may include advice that addresses one or more areas of your financial situation, such as estate planning, risk management, budgeting and cash flow controls, retirement planning, education funding, and investment portfolio design. Depending on your particular situation, financial planning may include some or all of the following:
• Gathering factual information concerning your personal and financial situation;
• Assisting you in establishing financial goals and objectives;
• Analyzing your present situation and anticipated future activities in light of your financial goals and objectives;
• Identifying problems foreseen in the accomplishment of these financial goals and objectives and offering alternative solutions to the problems;
• Making recommendations to help achieve retirement plan goals and objectives;
• Designing an investment portfolio to help meet your goals and objectives;
• Providing estate planning;
• Assessing risk and reviewing basic health, life and disability insurance needs; or
• Reviewing goals and objectives and measuring progress toward these goals. Once Financial Planning advice is given, you may choose to have us implement your financial plan and manage your investment portfolio on an ongoing basis. However, you are under no obligation to act upon any of the recommendations made by us under a Financial Planning engagement and/or engage the services of any recommended professional. Portfolio Management As described above, at the beginning of our relationship, we meet with you, gather information, and perform research and analysis as necessary to develop your Investment Plan. Your Investment Plan will be updated from time to time when requested by you, or when determined to be necessary or advisable by us based on updates to your financial or other circumstances. To implement your Investment Plan, we will manage your investment portfolio on a discretionary basis. As a discretionary investment adviser, we will have the authority to supervise and direct your portfolio without prior consultation with you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may impose certain written restrictions on us in the management of your investment portfolio, such as prohibiting the inclusion of certain types of investments in your investment portfolio or prohibiting the sale of certain investments held in your account at the commencement of our relationship. You should note, however, that restrictions imposed by you may adversely affect the composition

and performance of your investment portfolio. You should also note that your investment portfolio is treated individually by giving consideration to each purchase or sale for your account. For these and other reasons, performance of your investment portfolio within the same investment objectives, goals and/or risk tolerance may differ and you should not expect that the composition or performance of your investment portfolio would necessarily be consistent with similar clients of ours. Separate Account Managers When appropriate and in accordance with your Investment Plan, we may recommend the use of one or more Separate Account Managers, each a “Manager”. Having access to various Managers offers a wide variety of manager styles, and offers you the opportunity to utilize more than one Manager if necessary to meet your needs and investment objectives. We will recommend the Manager(s) we deem most appropriate for you. Factors that we consider in selecting Managers generally include your stated investment objective(s), management style, performance, risk level, reputation, reporting, pricing, and research. The Manager(s) will generally be granted discretionary trading authority to provide investment supervisory services for your portfolio, but we retain the authority to terminate the Manager’s relationship or to add new Managers without your specific consent. With respect to assets managed by a Manager, our role will be to monitor your overall financial situation, to monitor the investment approach and performance of the Manager (s), and to assist you in understanding the investments of your portfolio. In instances where the services of one or more Managers are utilized, the Manager’s fee will be charged in addition to our fee. Additionally, certain Managers may impose more restrictive account requirements than us, billing practices may vary. In such instances, we may be required to alter our corresponding account requirements and/or billing practices to accommodate those of the Manager(s). Retirement Plan Advisory Services Establishing a sound fiduciary governance process is vital to good decision-making and to ensuring that prudent procedural steps are followed in making investment decisions. We will provide Retirement Plan consulting services to Plans and Plan Fiduciaries as described below. The particular services provided will be detailed in the consulting agreement. The appropriate Plan Fiduciary(ies) designated in the Plan documents (e.g., the Plan sponsor or named fiduciary) will (i) make the decision to retain our firm; (ii) agree to the scope of the services that we will provide; and (iii) make the ultimate decision as to accepting any of the recommendations that we may provide. The Plan Fiduciaries are free to seek independent advice about the appropriateness of any recommended services for the Plan. Retirement Plan consulting services may be offered individually or as part of a comprehensive suite of services. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) sets forth rules under which Plan Fiduciaries may retain investment advisers for various types of services with respect to Plan assets. For certain services, we will be considered a fiduciary under ERISA. For example, we will act as an ERISA § 3(21) fiduciary when providing non-discretionary investment advice to the Plan Fiduciaries by recommending a suite of investments as choices among which Plan Participants may select. Also, to the extent that the Plan Fiduciaries retain us to act as an investment manager within the meaning of ERISA § 3(38), we will provide discretionary investment management services to the Plan. When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interests ahead of yours. Additional disclosure may be found elsewhere in this Brochure or in the written agreement between you and SHWM. Fiduciary Consulting Services
• Investment Selection Services We will provide Plan Fiduciaries with recommendations of investment options consistent with ERISA section 404(c). Plan Fiduciaries retain responsibility for the final determination of investment options and for compliance with ERISA section 404(c).
• Non-Discretionary Investment Advice We provide Plan Fiduciaries and Plan Participants general, non-discretionary investment advice regarding asset classes and investments.
• Investment Monitoring We will assist in monitoring the plan’s investment options by preparing periodic investment reports that document investment performance, consistency of fund management and conformation to the guidelines set forth in the investment policy statement and we will make recommendations to maintain or remove and replace investment options. The details of this aspect of service will be enumerated in the engagement agreement between the parties.
