Advisory Services Offered
Painted Porch offers comprehensive wealth management services to our clients. Our investment
management, financial planning, and all other related services are offered on an integrated basis and all
are included in our typical client engagement.
Investment Management Services
Painted Porch offers advice to clients regarding asset allocation and the selection of investments.
Investment management services include designing, implementing, and continued monitoring of the
client’s account. Painted Porch will invest the account on a fully discretionary basis, limited only by the
client’s individual needs and any restrictions imposed on the account.
We will typically allocate client portfolios among traditional marketable securities (money market
instruments, bonds, preferred stocks, common stocks, and real estate investment trusts). We also utilize
exchange traded funds and mutual funds where appropriate for diversification needs.
Painted Porch may also occasionally offer advice regarding additional types of investments if they are
appropriate to address the individual needs, goals, and objectives of the client or in response to client
inquiry. Painted Porch may offer investment advice on any investment held by the client at the start of
the advisory relationship or acquired by the client during the relationship. We describe the material
investment risks for many of the securities that we recommend under the heading Specific Security
Risks in Item 8 below.
We discuss our discretionary authority below under Item 16 - Investment Discretion. For more
information about the restrictions clients can put on their accounts, see Tailored Services and Client
Imposed Restrictions in this item below.
We describe the Fees charged for investment management services below under Item 5 - Fees and
Compensation.
Non-Discretionary Accounts
Painted Porch also offers investment advisory services to clients on a non-discretionary basis. For these
clients Painted Porch will contact the client before making recommendations it deems appropriate for
the client. See also Item 16 – Investment Discretion below.

Financial Planning Services
Painted Porch offers a range of financial planning services, from broad planning to custom planning
focused on specific areas requested by the client. Painted Porch prefers to conduct a long-term cash
flow analysis to help clients determine an appropriate asset allocation. Generally, Painted Porch will
deliver a plan to each client. Painted Porch offers to update the plan annually at no charge. There may
be circumstances when a financial plan is not necessary.
As part of the financial planning process, Painted Porch typically requests information from the client
about the client’s financial situation and needs, including: net worth, income, expenses, taxes,
investments, retirement plans, life insurance, disability insurance, health insurance, long term care
insurance, business agreements, divorce papers, pre-nuptial agreements, estate documents, and any
other documents that pertain to their overall financial picture. In addition, Painted Porch asks the client
about their future goals, financial circumstances and objectives. Painted Porch then assists clients with
developing a personalized plan. Typically, we develop the plan with the client over several in-person or
video conference meetings.
Painted Porch may also work with the client to provide advice regarding a particular aspect of the
client’s financial situation. Areas of focus might include:
1. Preparing for or living in retirement
2. Investment strategies
3. Estate planning strategies
4. Income tax planning
5. Stock option analysis and planning
6. Insurance: life, disability, medical, long-term care insurance
7. Family savings and cash flow planning
8. Education planning and funding
9. Charitable gifting
10. Debt management
11. Employee benefit usage
12. Other, as determined between Painted Porch and the client
Our financial planning services do not include preparation of any kind of income tax or estate tax returns
or preparation of any legal documents, including wills or trusts.
We provide financial planning services as a component of our integrated wealth management services.
We describe our fees for investment management and retainer services below under Item 5 - Fees and
Compensation.
Retainer Services
In certain selective situations, we offer retainer services to clients
who desire continuing financial
planning services or investment management services for portfolios which contain dissimilar assets
requiring varying amounts of time for supervision and management. For example, dissimilar assets may
include low cost basis stock. Upon client request, we will monitor dissimilar assets on an ongoing basis.
We describe the fees charged for retainer services below under Item 5 - Fees and Compensation.

Limitations on Investments
In some circumstances, Painted Porch’s advice may be limited to certain types of securities.
Limitation by Plan Sponsor/Employer
In the event Painted Porch is managing assets within a retirement plan such as 401(k) or other employer
plan, Painted Porch is limited to those investment providers and investment options chosen by the plan
administrator. Similarly, when we provide services to participants in an employer-sponsored plan, the
participant may be limited to investing in securities included in the plan’s investment options. Therefore,
Painted Porch can only make recommendations to the client from among the available options and will
not recommend or invest the client’s account in other securities, even if there may be better options
elsewhere.
Mutual Fund Limitations
No Load Mutual Funds
Painted Porch generally limits recommendations of mutual funds to no load funds or equivalent
investment products.
Limitation by Custodian
There may also be limitations on the mutual funds that we recommend. Clients establish brokerage
accounts with Schwab Institutional®, a division of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), registered
broker-dealer, Member SIPC.
Limitation by Client
Painted Porch may also limit advice based on certain client-imposed restrictions. For more information
about the restrictions clients can put on their accounts, see Tailored Services and Client Imposed
Restrictions in this Item below.
Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
Painted Porch manages client accounts based on the asset allocation the client chooses, as discussed
below under Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss. Painted Porch
applies the strategy for each client, based on the client’s individual circumstances and financial situation.
We make investment decisions for clients based on information the client supplies about their financial
situation, goals, and risk tolerance. Our recommendations may be limited if the client does not provide
us with accurate and complete information. It is the client’s responsibility to keep Painted Porch
informed of any changes to their investment objectives or restrictions.
Clients may also request other restrictions on the account, such as when a client needs to keep a
minimum level of cash in the account or does not want Painted Porch to buy or sell certain specific
securities or security types in the account. If a client requests restrictions on certain categories of
securities (for socially conscious reasons, for example), Painted Porch may replace that portion of the
portfolio with a broad-based exchange traded fund or mutual fund as an asset class substitute. Painted
Porch reserves the right not to accept, or the right to terminate, management of a client’s account if we
feel that the client-imposed restrictions would limit or prevent us from meeting or maintaining the
client’s investment strategy.
