Montrusco Bolton offers the following advisory services to our clients.
Portfolio Management Services
Montrusco Bolton offers Portfolio Management Services to clients defined as the provision of
continuous advice to a client, or making investment decisions for a client, regarding
investment of the client's assets, based on the individual needs of the client.
Through a specific mandate or personal discussions, Montrusco Bolton develops (or obtains)
a client's personal investment policy and creates and manages a portfolio based on that
policy. Montrusco Bolton manages US-based advisory client accounts on a discretionary or
non-discretionary basis. Account supervision is guided by the stated objectives of the client
(e.g., maximum capital appreciation, growth, income, or growth and income).
Montrusco Bolton offers clients a variety of investment strategies in the equity, fixed income,
balanced and alternative asset classes. Equity strategies offered include US, Canadian, and
global equity.
Depending on the size of their investment, clients may choose to either invest through a
separate account structure or utilize the firm’s commingled private investment funds
(collectively, “Montrusco Bolton Funds” or "the Funds") to achieve their stated objectives.
Separate accounts are generally invested in one of specific equity or fixed income strategies
offered by firm. Portfolios consisting primarily of interests in one or more of the Montrusco
Bolton Funds (described below), may also include:
• individual equities,
• exchange traded funds (ETFs),
• bonds, and
• cash or cash equivalents.
Montrusco Bolton will allocate the client's assets among the Funds and other investments, as
appropriate, taking into consideration the overall management style selected by the client.
The Funds will be selected on the basis of investment objectives and strategy. Portfolio
weighting among Funds and other investments will be determined by each client's individual
needs and circumstances. Investment in any of the Funds will be permitted only after the
client has been pre-screened to determine eligibility, has received the Fund’s offering
memorandum and disclosures, has had ample opportunity to review such documentation
and to ask questions, if necessary, and has submitted the requisite subscription documents
which Montrusco Bolton has determined to accept. Based on client needs or preferences,
and subject to Montrusco Bolton's sole discretion, the firm may construct a portfolio or a
portion of a portfolio modeled after one or more of the Funds without investing in the Funds
themselves. Under these circumstances, the client will retain an undivided, individual
ownership interest in all portfolio securities.
When appropriate to the needs of the client, Montrusco Bolton at times recommends the use
of short sales, margin transactions or option writing. Because these investment strategies
involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only be recommended when consistent
with the client's stated tolerance for risk.

Securities Act of 1933, in reliance upon certain exemptions available to funds whose
securities are not publicly offered. Montrusco Bolton manages the Funds in accordance with
the terms and conditions of each Fund's offering and organizational documents.
