INVESTMENT SUPERVISORY SERVICES ("ISS") INDIVIDUAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Our �irm 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 create and manage a portfolio based on
that policy. During our data-gathering process, we determine the client’s 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.
We manage these advisory accounts on a discretionary basis. Account supervision is guided by the
client's stated objectives (i.e., maximum capital appreciation, growth, income, or growth, and
income), 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 speci�ic product or service offered by a
broker-dealer or insurance company and will include advice regarding the following securities:
• Exchange-listed securities
• Securities traded over the counter
• Foreign issuers
• Warrants
• Corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper)
• Commercial paper
• Certi�icates of deposit
• Municipal securities
• Variable life insurance
• Variable annuities
• Mutual fund shares
• United States government securities
• Options contracts on securities
• Interests in partnerships investing in real estate
• Interests in partnerships investing in oil and gas interests
Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only be
implemented/recommended when consistent with the client's stated investment objectives,
tolerance for risk, liquidity, and suitability.
FINANCIAL PLANNING
We provide �inancial planning services. Financial planning is a comprehensive evaluation of a
client’s current and future �inancial state by using currently known variables to predict future cash
�lows, asset values, and withdrawal plans. Through the �inancial planning process, all questions,
information, and analysis are considered as they impact and are impacted by the entire �inancial
and life situation of the client. Clients purchasing this service receive a written report which
provides the client with a detailed �inancial plan designed to assist the client to achieve his or her
�inancial goals and objectives.
In general, the �inancial plan can address any or all the following areas:
• PERSONAL: We review family records, budgeting, personal liability, estate information, and
�inancial goals.
• TAX & CASH FLOW: We analyze the client’s income tax and spending and planning for past,
current, and future years; then illustrate the impact of various investments on the client's
current income tax and future tax liability.
• INVESTMENTS: We analyze investment alternatives and their effect on the client's portfolio.
• INSURANCE: We review existing policies to
ensure proper coverage for life, health,
disability, long-term care, liability, home, and automobile.
• RETIREMENT: We analyze current strategies and investment plans to help the client achieve
his or her retirement goals.
• DEATH & DISABILITY: We review the client’s cash needs at death, income needs of surviving
dependents, estate planning, and disability income.
• ESTATE: We assist the client in assessing and developing long-term strategies, including as
appropriate, living trusts, wills, review estate tax, powers of attorney and asset protection
plans.
We gather the required information through in-depth personal interviews. Information gathered
includes the client's current �inancial status, tax status, future goals, returns objectives and
attitudes towards risk. We carefully review documents supplied by the client, including a
questionnaire completed by the client, and prepare a written �inancial plan. Should the client
choose to implement the recommendations contained in the plan, we suggest the client work
closely with his/her attorney, accountant, insurance agent, and/or stockbroker. The
implementation of �inancial plan recommendations is entirely at the client's discretion.
We also provide general non-securities advice on topics that may include tax and budgetary
planning, estate planning and business planning.
Typically, the �inancial plan is presented to the client within six months of the contract date,
provided that all information needed to prepare the �inancial plan has been promptly provided.
Financial Planning recommendations are not limited to any speci�ic product or service offered by a
broker-dealer or insurance company. All recommendations are generic.
In offering �inancial planning, a con�lict exists between the interests of the investment adviser and
the interests of the client. The client is under no obligation to act upon the investment adviser’s
recommendation, and, if the client elects to act on any of the recommendations, the client is under
no obligation to affect the transaction through the investment adviser.

IRA Rollover Recommendations
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are �iduciaries 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 con�licts with your interests, so we operate under a
special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under
this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
prudent advice).
• Never put our �inancial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice).
• Avoid misleading statements about con�licts 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 con�licts of interest.
