Our firm offers the following investment advisory services:
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Our firm provides investment supervisory services in the form of continuous advice to a client regarding the
investment of client funds based on the individual needs of the client.
WSCM provides discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management advisory services. Through personal
discussions with clients, goals and objectives based on a client's particular circumstances are established. During
our data-gathering process, we have discussions with the client to obtain the client’s individual objectives, time
horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. WSCM then develops the client's personal investment guidelines
and creates and manages a portfolio based on those guidelines. Account supervision is guided by the stated
objectives of the client. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of
securities, or industry sectors.
In order to ensure that our initial determination of an appropriate portfolio continues to be suitable and that the
client's account continues to be managed in a manner suitable to the client's financial circumstances, we will
maintain client suitability information in the client's file. It is the client’s responsibility to let us know whether
there have been any changes in the client's financial situation and investment objectives and whether the client
wishes to impose investment restrictions or modify existing restrictions.
Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a broker dealer or
insurance company. Client portfolio holdings may also include exchange-listed and over-the-counter securities,
option contracts on securities, no-load or load-waived mutual funds, exchange traded funds, unit investment
trusts, corporate debt securities, United States governmental and agency (e.g. U.S. treasuries, GNMA, etc.)
securities, certificates of deposit, warrants, commercial paper, and municipal securities.
WSCM is the sponsor of a wrap-fee program (the “Wrap-Fee Program”), which is a program that provides Clients
with advisory and brokerage execution services for one all-inclusive fee (the “Fee”). This means that the cost of
WSCM’s investment advisory services, the cost of executing brokerage transactions and custodial fees are
“wrapped” into a single annual fee based on the value of the Client’s portfolio. Investments offered through the
Wrap-Fee Program include equity, balanced and fixed income mandates. The Investment Advisor Representative
(“IAR”) continuously manages equity, balanced & fixed-income portfolios, where appropriate, based on the
individual needs of a Client. Clients may refer to the WSCM wrap-fee program brochure for more information.
Our firm will conduct appropriate due diligence on all independent third-party managers, making reasonable
inquiries into their performance calculations, policies and procedures, Code of Ethics, and other operational and
compliance matters deemed important to account performance and risk management.
Occasional fundamental and/or technical research reports may be prepared and circulated to clients, without
charge.
