Description of the Types of Advisory Services We Offer
Asset Management:
As part of our Asset Management service, we provide investment management and financial planning
or consulting services to clients. Our Asset Management service is designed to assist clients in meeting
their financial goals through the use of financial investments. We conduct at least one, but sometimes
more than one meeting (in person if possible, otherwise via telephone conference) with clients in order
to understand their current financial situation, existing resources, financial goals, and tolerance for risk.
Based on what we learn, we propose an investment approach to the client. We may propose an
investment portfolio, consisting of exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds, individual stocks or
bonds, or other securities. Upon the client’s agreement to the proposed investment plan, we work with
the client to establish or transfer investment accounts so that we can manage the client’s portfolio. Once
the relevant accounts are under our management, we review such accounts on a regular basis and at
least quarterly. We systematically rebalance on a quarterly basis or adjust client accounts under our
management. If the client experiences any significant changes to his/her financial or personal
circumstances, the client must notify us so that we can consider such information in managing the
client’s investments.
Individual Consultations:
We also provide advisory or consulting services not involving the other services already described
herein but still pertaining to investments or investment-related matters. As part of these services, we
may or may not provide any written documentation or other work product. Such services may include,
but would not be limited to, the following:
• Insurance-related services and planning;
• One-time analysis of investment accounts/portfolios;
• Telephonic, electronic, or in-person consultations/communications regarding investments or
investment-related matters;
• Serving as an expert witness in judicial or arbitration proceedings;
• Conferring with other professionals or services providers (i.e. accountants, CPAs, attorneys, etc.)
regarding investments or investment-related matters on your behalf; and/or
• Other service as may be specifically requested.
If you wish to engage us for some type of service not specifically mentioned or referred to in the services
noted above, you may provide us with guidance as to the scope of the engagement. Regardless of the

services ultimately requested, the specific services and corresponding fees will be set forth in a written
agreement.
Financial Planning:
We may prepare a written
financial plan for our clients. Our financial planning services may involve
consultation, analysis, and recommendations in the eight areas of financial planning, which include (1)
asset management; (2) tax strategies; (3) liquidity event planning; (4) banking consultation; (5) cash
flow planning; (6) charitable planning (7) wealth transfer and estate planning; and (8) generational
wealth management.
In order to determine a suitable course of action for an individual client, we will perform a review of the
variables that are presented. This review may include, but would not necessarily be limited to,
investment objectives, consideration of your overall financial condition, income and tax status, personal
and business assets, risk profile, and other factors unique to your particular circumstances.
We will review your present financial situation and issue a written analysis and report of
recommendations in accordance with your goals and objectives. This service may include an initial
consultation and subsequent follow-up visits. The services provided in this regard may include but
would not be limited to the following:
• Prepare an annual net worth statement;
• Create a cash flow statement;
• Review current investments and make recommendations thereon;
• Review client’s most recent tax returns and provide tax planning advice;
• Review client’s life insurance and make recommendations thereon;
• Review client’s estate plan and make recommendations thereon; and
• Provide education planning advice.
Tailoring of Advisory Services
To the fullest extent possible, we will endeavor to tailor our advisory services to meet the specific
needs of each and every client. In order to determine a suitable course of action for an individual
client, we will perform a review of our clients’ financial circumstances. Such review may include, but
would not necessarily be limited to, investment objectives, consideration of a client’s overall financial
condition, income and tax status, personal and business assets, risk profile, and other factors unique
to a client’s particular circumstances.
In making investment recommendations on behalf of a client, we will rely on a data gathering
document or other questionnaire, which would be completed based on information provided by a
client.
Our clients are free to impose any restrictions or other conditions with regard to how we provide our
advisory services. If we agree to such restrictions and/or conditions, please be advised that
restrictions and guidelines imposed by a client may affect the composition and performance of
custom portfolios (as a result, performance of custom portfolios within the same investment
objective may differ and a client should not expect that the performance of a custom portfolio will be
identical to any other individual’s portfolio performance) as well as any recommendations provided
to the client.
