Company organized in the State of Louisiana. The firm was formed in April 1996, and the

B. Types of Advisory Services
Portfolio Management Services
LOWM offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals,
objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. LOWM creates an Investment
Policy Statement for each client, which outlines the client’s current situation (income, tax
levels, and risk tolerance levels). Portfolio management services include, but are not
limited to, the following:
• Investment strategy • Personal investment policy
• Asset allocation • Asset selection
• Risk tolerance • Regular portfolio monitoring
LOWM evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance
levels and time horizon. All portfolio management services are provided on a
discretionary basis only. LOWM will request discretionary authority from clients in order
to select securities and execute transactions without permission from the client prior to
each transaction. Risk tolerance levels are documented in the Investment Policy
Statement, which is given to each client.
LOWM seeks to provide that investment decisions are made in accordance with the
fiduciary duties owed to its accounts and without consideration of LOWM’s economic,
investment or other financial interests. To meet its fiduciary obligations, LOWM attempts
to avoid, among other things, investment or trading practices that systematically
advantage or disadvantage certain client portfolios, and accordingly, LOWM’s policy is
to seek fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities/transactions among its
clients to avoid favoring one client over another over time. It is LOWM’s policy to allocate
investment opportunities and transactions it identifies as being appropriate and prudent
among its clients on a fair and equitable basis over time.
