LM Advisors, LLC offers the following advisory services to our clients:
Advisory Services
INVESTMENT SUPERVISORY SERVICES ("ISS")
INDIVIDUAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Our firm provides continuous advice to a client regarding the investment of client funds based on the
individual needs of the client. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on
a client's particular circumstances are established, we develop a client's personal investment policy
and create and manage a portfolio based on that policy. During our data gathering process, we
determine the client’s individual objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. As
appropriate, we also review and discuss a client's prior investment history, as well as family
composition and background.
In some instances, for a portion of the portfolio, we select a money manager (same firms as mutual
fund) to manage a specific strategy in a client’s account. In those instances, we monitor the portfolio
and performance of the strategy and make changes accordingly.
We manage these advisory accounts on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis. Account
supervision is guided by the client's stated objectives (i.e., capital preservation, cash flow / income
and growth), as well as tax considerations.
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of securities, or
industry sectors.
Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a
broker-dealer or insurance company and will generally include advice regarding the following
securities:
Exchange-listed securities
Securities traded over-the-counter
Foreign issuers
Certificates of deposit
Municipal securities
United States governmental securities
Options contracts on securities
Mutual Funds and ETFs
Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will be
implemented/recommended when consistent with the client's stated investment objectives, time
horizon, tolerance for risk, liquidity and suitability.
We offer non-discretionary services where we provide investment recommendations to a client. We
do not trade the recommended securities for you. You are responsible for deciding which securities
to trade in your account and executing the trade in your account.
LM Advisors provides investment advisory services to the LM Balanced Segregated Portfolio, a
pooled investment vehicle. LM Advisors invests client assets in LM Balanced Segregated Portfolio,
when we determine it is in the best interest of the client.
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing
retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we
operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interests
ahead of yours.
Under this special rule's provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations;
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations;
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
For more information about our conflicts of interest, please review items 5, 10, 11 and 14 or reach
