Types of services
Latash offers investment advisory services to our clients on both a discretionary
and non-discretionary basis.
Tailoring services to client needs
Our firm provides continuous advice to a client regarding the investment of client
funds based on the individual needs of the client. Through personal discussions
in which goals and objectives based on a client's particular circumstances are
established, we create and manage a portfolio based on those discussions.
During our data-gathering process, we typically determine the client’s 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 in the case of individuals. In the case of an institutional client, other
factors such as regulatory requirements and unique needs and circumstances
are discussed and incorporated into planning of investment strategy.
Account supervision is guided by the client's objectives, unique needs and
circumstances, as well as tax considerations.
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities,
types of securities, or industry sectors.
Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or
service offered by a broker-dealer or insurance company and will generally
include advice regarding the following securities:
Exchange-listed securities
Securities traded over-the-counter
Foreign issuers
Warrants
Corporate debt securities (other than commercial
paper)
Commercial paper
Certificates of deposit
Municipal securities
Mutual fund shares
United States governmental securities
Options contracts on securities
Interests in partnerships investing in real estate
Interests in partnerships investing in oil and gas interests
Interests in partnerships investing in areas such as venture capital, distressed
debt, leveraged buyout (LBO funds) and other areas
Other alternative investments such as hedge funds in a variety of strategies
may also be utilized
Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk,
they will only be implemented or recommended when consistent with the client's
investment objectives, tolerance for risk, liquidity and suitability. Many
partnership and other alternative investments involve a substantial amount of risk
and are also illiquid; meaning an investor’s money can be tied up for substantial
periods of time as well as potentially losing money. It is also common for the
general partner or managers in the alternatives arena to charge substantial
management fees as well as performance fees if certain ‘hurdle rates” are met.
These types of investments will require that an investor have really substantial
means and, typically, a long-term time horizon. Such investors are often termed
“high net worth”, “accredited” or “qualified” investors. Since inception of Latash,
our clients have generally met at least one of these types of criteria. While Latash
has no stated minimum account, we may not be a suitable advisor for investors
who could not participate in these types of investments. Historically, such
investments have been an important part of portfolio strategy for a majority of our
clients. Much of the work Latash performs for clients involves using third party
investment managers as sub-advisers to implement various strategies. Latash
does not offer wrap fee programs.
