Portfolio Management Services: IFS provides ongoing advice to clients regarding investment of client funds based on the individual needs for the client.

We work with each client on a one-on-one basis through interviews and questionnaires. Clients will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments which will be made on the client's behalf. A portfolio is created and managed based on the investment policy. IFS manages accounts either on a discretionary of non-discretionary basis. Account supervision is guided by the stated objectives of the client. With discretionary authority, we will determine the securities to be bought and sold, the amount of securities to be bought and sold and when the securities will be bought and sold for a client’s account. If the adviser does not have discretionary authority to place trade orders with a broker-dealer, pursuant to a third party trading agreement, Adviser must secure client permission prior to effecting securities transactions for the client’s broker-dealer account(s). IFS/RIA is authorized to use “at the market” orders for discretionary and non-discretionary accounts. IFS will allocate the client's assets among various investments taking into consideration the overall management style selected by the client.. We may modify our investment strategy to accommodate special situations like: low basis stock, legacy holdings, inheritances, closely held businesses, collectibles, or special tax situations.

Types of Investments Portfolios will consist of one or more of any of the following: individual equities, government and corporate debt securities, municipal securities, no-load (i.e. no trading fee) and load-waived (i.e. trading fee waived) mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETF). IFS allocates the client's assets among various investments taking into consideration the overall management style selected by the client. The mutual funds will be selected on the basis of any or all of the following criteria: the fund's performance history, the industry sector in which the fund invests, the track record of the fund's manager, the fund's investment objectives, the fund's management style and philosophy, and the fund's management fee structure. Portfolio weighting between funds and market sectors will be determined by each client's individual needs and circumstances.
