in the client’s name that is managed by Zuckerman Investment Group.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
The firm’s broader team of advisors and investment professionals meet on a recurring basis to create customized investment strategies that aim to
maximize
wealth preservation while taking advantage of wealth creation opportunities. We also use our investment philosophy and internal
research team to support our investment decisions. We primarily invest in exchange traded individual equity securities, fixed income securities,
exchange traded funds and mutual funds. On a limited basis, we may recommend that our clients invest in alternative assets including private equity
funds, real estate funds and other alternative funds.
In order to understand our clients’ goals and objectives, we have an initial assessment meeting as well as ongoing communication with the
clients. At the onset of a client relationship, we set an asset allocation based on the clients’ objectives. Our separately managed accounts generally
follow a model portfolio that invests in the same securities as our other investors. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities
or types of securities or limits on their weightings.
