\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAs a fiduciary under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, we\u2019re obligated to act in your best interest and provide you with full and fair disclosure of material conflicts of interest. In an advisory account, we monitor your investment portfolio on an ongoing basis and continue to offer you advice as needed. These services may be provided on a discretionary basis, which means you don\u2019t need to direct us to make trades, rebalance your portfolio or make other investment decisions for your account. This discretionary trading capability in an advisory account gives us the ability to react on your behalf to changes in economic conditions.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBy virtue of using our advisory platforms, we can work under a fee-based model. Fee-based asset management allows us to share a common goal with you\u2014growing the value of your assets, and which ties our compensation directly to the performance of your account. Instead of commissions, we earn an annual fee based on the market value of the account. You succeed. We succeed. This allows us to concentrate on what matters most\u2014building an investment portfolio that seeks to address your specific needs.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Step 1<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t

Clarify your goals and timeline<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe first step in building your portfolio strategy is determining your financial goas and when you want to accomplish them. We will sit down with you to clarify what you hope to achieve from your investments, whether that\u2019s planning for retirement, income generation during retirement, estate planning for the next generation, charitable giving, saving for a child\u2019s college education, working toward a larger purchase and more. Together, we\u2019ll establish goals that will guide our strategy decisions.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Step 2<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Determine your risk tolerance<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOnce we know what you hope to accomplish, the next step is figuring out how you feel about investing. We will spend time working with you to determine if you prefer a more conservative or aggressive approach, or somewhere in between.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Step 3<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Identify an investment style<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Next, we will work with you to determine which investment style is wise for your specific goals and current market conditions. The two primary investment-style options are strategic and tactical.<\/p>

Strategic investing<\/strong> allows you to stay fully invested in a steady asset allocation model using a traditional buy-and-hold investment philosophy. Your asset allocation would be based on our market research long-term outlook and wouldn\u2019t change much due to market fluctuations.<\/p>

Tactical investing<\/strong> attempts to take advantage of short-term market fluctuations to find opportunities for larger gains. In this case, your asset allocation would be based on a shorter time frame and change more often as a result of the market\u2019s movements. Because more trading occurs in tactical investing, we\u2019d have to consider the tax impact of this type of strategy. There\u2019s a wide variety of tactical investment management styles, which we\u2019ll discuss when it\u2019s time to look at the models best suited for you.<\/p>

We can also choose to combine both Strategic and Tactical models if it makes sense for you and your objectives.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Step 4<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Select your investment theme<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The last major piece of the portfolio puzzle is your investment theme, which is the overall objective your portfolio will drive toward. Your goals, risk tolerance and preferred investment style will help our firm\u2019s advisors determine the appropriate theme for your portfolio.<\/p>

The following are a few examples of our investment themes:<\/p>

Core Strategies are for clients whose focus is to accumulate assets over time to meet a specific goal. For example, to save for retirement, send a child to college, acquire a home, etc.<\/p>

Income Generation Strategies are for clients whose primary objective is to withdraw assets from their portfolio to manage current expenses without depleting their initial investment. For example, to support your current living requirements.<\/p>

Risk Aware Strategies are for clients whose primary objective is the preservation of their accumulated assets. For example, if you get nervous about market volatility or would prefer to preserve what you have, rather than seeking higher returns.<\/p>

Complementary Strategies are for rounding out and supplementing your portfolio. For example, if we determine you need strategies to dial down or dial up the risk in your portfolio.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Once we\u2019re ready to bring your portfolio to life, we\u2019ll discuss your expectations and review what we want to accomplish through your customized strategy. To get your portfolio up and running, we\u2019ll:<\/p>

  • Transition your existing securities<\/li>
  • Determine the type of account ownership and beneficiaries<\/li>
  • Discuss the source of funds<\/li>
  • Complete and sign all paperwork<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Once your investments are in place, we\u2019ll continue to review and manage your portfolio on an ongoing basis. The ongoing management of your portfolio will include:<\/p>

    • Regular meetings and discussions so you can feel comfortable with your continued strategy<\/li>
