Item 5 Fees and Compensation
Portfolio Management Services
Our fee for portfolio management services is either a flat fee or based on a percentage of the assets in
your account. Your fee schedule is outlined in your investment advisory agreement. Clients that pay a
flat fee are billed quarterly in advance. The following annual fee schedule is for clients that are billed
as a percentage of the market value of assets under management:
4
Fee Schedule
Market Value of Portfolio % of Assets
1.0%
$0-$1,000,000
$1,000,000+
1.0% on first $1.0 million .75% on amounts over
$1 million
The specific manner in which fees are charged by Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. is established
in a client's written agreement with Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. Pasnau Investment
Management, Inc. will generally bill its fees on a quarterly basis. Clients are billed in advance each
quarter, based upon the market value of the assets on the last business day of the previous quarter.
Clients may also elect to be billed directly for fees or to authorize Pasnau Investment Management,
Inc. to directly debit fees from client accounts. In the event that the client elects to be billed directly,
payment is due upon the receipt of Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.'s invoice. Management fees
shall not be prorated for each capital contribution and withdrawal made during the applicable quarter.
Accounts initiated or terminated during a quarter will be charged a prorated fee. Termination is by
notice in writing 30 days in advance. Upon termination of any account, any prepaid, unearned fees will
be promptly refunded, and any earned, unpaid fees will be due and payable. The Firm's fees are
generally negotiable.
At our discretion, we may combine the account values of family members living in the same household
to determine the applicable advisory fee. For example, we may combine account values for you and
your minor children, joint accounts with your spouse, and other types of related accounts. Combining
account values may increase the asset total, which may result in your paying a reduced advisory fee
based on the available breakpoints in our fee schedule stated above.
Unless the client directs otherwise, or a client's circumstances require, Pasnau Investment
Management, Inc. will generally recommend that Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC serve as the broker-
dealer/custodian for client assets under management. The broker-dealer/custodian charge brokerage
commissions and/or transaction fees for effecting securities transactions. In addition, clients may also
incur, relative to all mutual fund and exchange traded fund purchases, charges imposed at the fund
level (i.e. management fees and other fund expenses). Individual fixed income and/or equity
transactions may be effected through David Burleson of Crews and Associates, a broker/dealer with
whom Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. has entered into an arrangement for prime brokerage
clearing services.
Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.'s fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction
fees, and other related costs and expenses which shall be incurred by the client. Clients may incur
certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, third party investment and other third parties such as
fees charged by managers, custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes,
wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities
transactions. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal management fees, which
are disclosed in a fund's prospectus.
Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to Pasnau Investment
Management, Inc.'s fee, and Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. shall not receive any portion of
these commissions, fees, and costs.
Item 12 further describes the factors that Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. considers in selecting
or recommending broker-dealers for client transactions and determining the reasonableness of their
compensation (e.g., commissions).
5
Item 6 Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a
share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client).
Item 7 Types of Clients
Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. provides investment advisory services to individuals and high
net worth individuals and does not require a minimum asset level for investment advisory services.
Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
An important note about Investment Risk: Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients
should be prepared to bear. Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and it
should not be assumed that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will
be profitable or equal any specific performance level.
At Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. all investment strategies are client based, relying upon
information developed through discussions with each client about their investment goals and investing
characteristics; risk tolerance, time horizon and overall resources and sophistication.
Security Analysis
Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. may use the following fundamental strategic methods of security
analysis when recommending investments for a portfolio:
(1) Fundamental Analysis which involves analyzing a company's financial statements and health, its
management and competitive advantages, and its competitors and markets.
Risk: The risk of fundamental analysis is that information obtained may be incorrect and the analysis
may not provide an accurate estimate of earnings, which may be the basis for a stock's value. If
securities prices adjust rapidly to new information, utilizing fundamental analysis may not result in
favorable performance.
(2) Technical Analysis which involves an analysis for forecasting the direction of prices through the
study of past market data, primarily price and volume and other market information.
Risk: The risk of market timing based on technical analysis is that our analysis may not accurately
detect anomalies or predict future price movements. Current prices of securities may reflect all
information known about the security and day-to-day changes in market prices of securities may follow
random patterns and may not be predictable with any reliable degree of accuracy.
(3) Cyclical Analysis is a form of fundamental analysis involving the process of making investment
decisions based on the different stages of market and economic cycles. The type of position taken will
depend on specific investment characteristics within the industry and the industry's relative position in
the cycle.
Risk: The lengths of economic cycles may be difficult to predict with accuracy and therefore the risk of
cyclical analysis is the difficulty in predicting economic trends and consequently the changing value of
securities that would be affected by these changing trends.
6
Investment Strategies
(1) Buy and Hold is an investment strategy in which stocks are bought and then held for a long period,
regardless of the market's fluctuations. Additional benefits to the buy and hold strategy are that trading
commissions can be reduced and taxes can be reduced or deferred by buying and selling less often
and holding longer.
(2) Asset Allocation is the process of dividing investments among different kinds of assets, such as
stocks, bonds, real estate and cash, to optimize the risk/reward tradeoff based on a client's specific
situation and goals.
Individual securities are then selected based upon Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.'s
assessment of these fundamental strategic objectives. Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.'s goal is
to minimize risk or manage the risk in the account, knowing that ultimately, this risk is borne by the
client, including the loss of some or all principal value both in the individual security or in the entire
portfolio. Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.'s methods of analysis and investment strategies do not
present any significant or unusual risks. However, every method of analysis has its own inherent risks.
Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. primarily allocates client investment assets among various
individual stocks, debt and fixed income securities, and in certain instances, mutual funds and
exchange traded funds in accordance with the client's investment objectives.
Item 9 Disciplinary Information
Registered Investment Advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.
or the integrity of Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.'s management. Pasnau Investment
Management, Inc. has no information applicable to this Item and neither Pasnau Investment
Management, Inc., nor its management, has ever been the subject of any disciplinary actions.
Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Neither Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. nor its management receives, directly or indirectly, any
cash or other forms of compensation or economic benefit from any investment advisers or financial
planners in connection with providing advice to clients, nor does Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.
or its management directly or indirectly compensate any person for client referrals.
Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. maintains long standing investment and research relationships
with the following broker-dealer/custodians and/or their registered representatives:
(a) Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC;
(b) David Burleson of Crews and Associates for prime brokerage services.
These relationships are all on a non-contractual and non-exclusive basis.
Item 11 Code of Ethics
Although the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act (CUSA) and its Regulations do not require that state-
registered investment advisers prepare a separate code of ethics, ethical concerns should be
integrated into a state-registered investment advisers' supervisory and compliance procedures as well
as its business operations as more fully discussed in this policy statement. As such, Pasnau
Investment Management, Inc. has adopted a Code of Ethics for all supervised persons of the firm
7
describing its high standard of business conduct, and fiduciary duty to its clients. The Code of Ethics
includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information, a prohibition on insider trading, a
prohibition of rumor mongering, restrictions on the acceptance of significant gifts and the reporting of
certain gifts and business entertainment items, and personal securities trading procedures, among
other things. All supervised persons at Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. must acknowledge the
terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or as amended.
Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with
clients' investment objectives, it will cause accounts over which Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.
has management authority to effect, and will recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective
clients, the purchase or sale of securities in which Pasnau Investment Management Inc., its affiliates
and/or clients, directly or indirectly, have a position of interest. Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.'s
supervised and related persons are required to follow Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.'s Code of
Ethics. Officers, directors and employees of Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates
may trade for their own accounts in securities which are recommended to and/or purchased for
Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.'s clients. The Code of Ethics is designed to ensure that the
personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees of Pasnau Investment
Management, Inc. will not interfere with making decisions in the best interest of its clients and
implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own
accounts. Under the Code of Ethics, certain classes of securities have been designated as exempt
transactions, based upon a determination that these would materially not interfere with the best interest
of Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.'s clients. In addition, the Code of Ethics requires pre-
clearance of many transactions, and restricts trading in close proximity to client trading activity.
Because the Code of Ethics in some circumstances would permit officers, directors and employees of
Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates to invest in the same securities as clients, there
is a possibility that Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. and its management and related persons
might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by Pasnau Investment Management,
Inc. or its management. This disclosure addresses this potential conflict of interest. Trading is
continually monitored under the Code of Ethics to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between
Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. and its clients.
It is Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.'s policy that the firm will not affect any cross securities
transactions for client accounts. Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. will also not cross trades
between client accounts. Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. does not recommend, buy or sell
securities in which Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. or any related person has a material financial
interest.
Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.'s clients or prospective clients may request a copy of the firm's
Code of Ethics by contacting Janet A. Silano, Operations Manager at (860) 354-9903.
Item 12 Brokerage Practices
Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. generally recommends that investment management accounts
be maintained at Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC. The client is required to enter into a formal
Investment Advisory Agreement with Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. setting forth the terms and
conditions under which the client's assets shall be managed. The client enters into a separate custodial
agreement with the designated broker-dealer/custodian.
Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. considers the following factors before
recommending Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC to its clients: financial strength, reputation, execution
capabilities, pricing, research and service. Although Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. will seek
competitive rates, it may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rate for client account
8
transactions. A client may pay a commission that is higher than another qualified broker-dealer might
charge to effect the same transaction, but Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. has determined that
the commission fee is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services
received. Pasnau Investment Management, Inc., in seeking the most favorable execution, also takes
into consideration the full range of broker-dealer services, including the value of the research provided,
execution capability, commission rates and responsiveness.
Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. may receive from Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC, or another
broker- dealer/custodian, without cost or at a discount, support services and products (soft dollar
benefits) which assist Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. to better monitor and service client
accounts maintained at such institutions. These support services include investment related research,
pricing information and market data, software and other technology that provides access to client data,
compliance and practice management related publications, discounted educational services, marketing
support and discounted marketing products used in furtherance of Pasnau Investment Management,
Inc.'s advisory business operations. Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.'s clients do not pay more
for commissions or transaction fees as a result of these arrangements and there is no commitment
made to Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC or any other institution to invest any specific amount or
percentage of client assets in any investment product as a result of these arrangements.
Soft dollar benefits are not limited to those clients who may have generated a particular benefit
although certain soft dollar allocations are connected to particular clients or groups of clients. Soft
dollar benefits are not proportionally allocated to any accounts that may generate different amounts of
the soft dollar benefits.
Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. does not receive referrals from broker-dealers/custodians.
Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. does not generally accept directed brokerage arrangements. If a
client requires that account transactions be placed through a specific broker-dealer/custodian, the
client will negotiate the terms and arrangements for their account with the broker-dealer/custodian. The
client may pay higher commissions and other transaction costs and fees, greater spreads, or receive
less favorable net asset prices on transactions for this account than Pasnau Investment Management,
Inc. might be able to obtain from other broker-dealers.
Transactions placed in each client's account will generally be effected independently. However, there
may be occasions where Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. decides to purchase or sell the same
securities for several clients at the same time. These transactions may be combined to obtain the best
execution, to negotiate more favorable commission rates or to allocate equitably the differences in
prices and commissions or other transaction costs that might have been obtained had such orders
been placed independently. Transactions would then be averaged as to price and allocated among
clients in proportion to the purchase and or sale orders placed for each client on a given day. Pasnau
Investment Management, Inc. shall not receive any compensation as a result of this.
Item 13 Review of Accounts
In addition to monthly Account statements provided directly from the broker-dealer/custodian, quarterly
statements generated by Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. are provided to all clients who request
them. These statements are not intended to replace the statements provided by the broker-dealer
custodian, but they are intended to supplement and or consolidate the information provided by the
broker-dealer/ custodian. Clients are urged to compare all statements with the statements they receive
from the broker-dealer custodian and contact Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. in the event of any
discrepancies.
9
Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. will provide a detailed written quarterly investment summary and
review containing an analysis of all activity that has taken place in the account during the period under
review. These quarterly written reviews will be provided to all clients for all accounts and will include
income, current yields, and yields on cost.
Pasnau Investment Management Inc.'s William Charles Pasnau, President or Benjamin Edmund,
Account Manager, will perform appraisals of each account.
Each account will be supervised on a daily basis by the President of the firm, William Charles Pasnau
or Account Manager, Benjamin Edmund, if required, clients will be contacted.
As required, additional reports will be sent to clients on their accounts. Account reviews may also be
conducted upon the occurrence of a triggering event, such as a change in client investment objectives
and/or financial situation, market correction or at a client's request.
Clients are encouraged to review financial planning issues, investment objectives and account
performance with Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. on an annual basis either in person or by
telephone.
Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Neither Pasnau Investment Management Inc., nor its management, either directly or indirectly,
compensates any non-supervised person for client referrals.
As fully explained in Item 12, Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. receives indirect economic benefit
from Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC. Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. receives support services
and products from Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC without cost or at a discount. Pasnau Investment
Management Inc.'s clients do not pay more for investment transactions effected and or assets
maintained at Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC.
Item 15 Custody
Your independent custodian will directly debit your account(s) for the payment of our advisory fees.
This ability to deduct our advisory fees from your accounts causes our firm to exercise limited custody
over your funds or securities. We do not have physical custody of any of your funds and/or securities.
Your funds and securities will be held with a bank, broker-dealer, or other qualified custodian. You will
receive account statements from the qualified custodian(s) holding your funds and securities at least
quarterly. The account statements from your custodian(s) will indicate the amount of our advisory fees
deducted from your account(s) each billing period. You should carefully review account statements for
accuracy.
Item 16 Investment Discretion
Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.receives discretionary authority from the client at the outset of an
advisory relationship to select the identity and amount of securities to be bought or sold and is
considered to exercise investment discretion over a client's account if it can effect transactions for the
client without first having to seek the client's consent. Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. is given
this authority through a power-of-attorney included in the agreement between Pasnau Investment
Management, Inc. and the client. Clients may request a limitation on this authority (such as certain
securities not to be bought or sold). In all cases, however, such discretion is to be exercised in a
manner consistent with the stated investment objectives for the particular client account.
10
When selecting securities and determining amounts, Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. observes
the investment policies, limitations and restrictions of the clients for which it advises.
In acting as Investment Advisor and in exercising its discretion, Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.
shall use its best judgment and shall not be liable for any loss or damage sustained or incurred in any
manner, except if due to gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Pasnau Investment
Management, Inc. or its management.
Investment guidelines and restrictions must be provided to Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. in
writing.
Item 17 Voting Client Securities
We will not vote proxies on behalf of your advisory accounts. At your request, we may offer you advice
regarding corporate actions and the exercise of your proxy voting rights. If you own shares of
applicable securities, you are responsible for exercising your right to vote as a shareholder.
In most cases, you will receive proxy materials directly from the account custodian. However, in the
event we were to receive any written or electronic proxy materials, we would forward them directly to
you by mail, unless you have authorized our firm to contact you by electronic mail, in which case, we
would forward any electronic solicitations to vote proxies.
Item 18 Financial Information
Registered Investment Advisers are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial
information or disclosures about Pasnau Investment Management, Inc.'s financial condition. Pasnau
Investment Management Inc. does not solicit fees of more than $1200 per client six months or more in
advance. Pasnau Investment Management, Inc. has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to
meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients, and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy
proceeding.
Item 19 Additional Information
Trade Errors
In the event a trading error occurs in your account, our policy is to restore your account to the position
it should have been in had the trading error not occurred. Depending on the circumstances, corrective
actions may include canceling the trade, adjusting an allocation, and/or reimbursing the account.
Class Action Lawsuits
We do not determine if securities held by you are the subject of a class action lawsuit or whether you
are eligible to participate in class action settlements or litigation nor do we initiate or participate in
litigation to recover damages on your behalf for injuries as a result of actions, misconduct, or
negligence by issuers of securities held by you.
