Item 4 - Advisory Business
Review Services, Inc. (“RSI”) is an investment adviser registered with the U. S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”). RSI has been providing investment advisory services since 1991 and does not
engage in any other business. RSI provides both consulting and asset management services to a wide
variety of clients. RSI is owned by Tim Konicke and Patricia Kiefer and does not control any other firm.
The advisory services of RSI are described in detail below. RSI is a fiduciary and is required to act in a
client’s best interest at all times.
Consulting Services
RSI provides Consulting Services which include, but are not limited to, estate planning, financial and
retirement planning, insurance, taxes, investment strategies, and analysis of a client's financial assets with
recommendations for the selection and positioning of assets. The nature and scope of services are
decided at contract signing. As services are provided, consideration is given to each client's risk
tolerance, income needs and short and long term financial objectives and restrictions. Consulting
Services result in a report being provided to a client which may be in writing if requested by the client.
While services are being provided, clients are free to meet with their RSI adviser at any time.
After Consultation Services are provided, Clients decide which investment recommendations to accept
and implement. Clients are also free to select any brokerage, insurance or other product provider to
purchase (or sell) the investments, insurance, or other products discussed with RSI. RSI does not
guarantee results, and losses can occur from receiving Consulting Services.
Changes in client's financial condition, personal circumstances, goals, or general economic conditions
may trigger changes to the advice provided by RSI. To the extent that material changes have occurred to
a client's circumstances or goals, or to the extent a client requests RSI address a new project, the client
will be asked to sign a new Services Agreement.
All Consulting Services advice is based on information provided by the client. It is the client's
responsibility to be certain that RSI has current and accurate information.
Asset Management Services
RSI also offers Asset Management Service on a non-discretionary basis. This service begins with a RSI
representative assisting each new client in defining the client's investment objectives. RSI then manages
the client's assets in a manner consistent with those objectives. Asset Management Services usually
include ongoing supervision of investment assets such as mutual funds, stocks, bonds, exchange-traded
funds, warrants, municipal securities, government bonds, and cash and cash equivalents. Clients receive a
written report of securities in their managed portfolio each quarter.
The initial investment and asset allocation recommendations are based on the financial information
gathered from each client including net worth, risk tolerance, financial goals and objectives, investment
restrictions requested by the client and overall financial conditions. Based on this information, each client
is provided with initial investment recommendations designed to provide an appropriate asset mix
consistent with the client’s objectives and restrictions. The client’s portfolio and its performance are
monitored by the client’s RSI Representative in light of the client’s stated objectives and restrictions. The
frequency of these reviews and transactions made for a client’s account are determined by the RSI
Representative. RSI Representatives typically meet with the client on an as-needed or as-requested basis
to discuss the portfolio and other aspects of the service. Clients are free to contact and/or meet with their
RSI Representative at any time if they have questions about their accounts.
4
As a general rule, RSI believes that investing is best suited to those who believe in a long-term buy-and-
hold policy. Therefore, clients should not expect frequent investment changes in the portfolio. However,
as a result of monitoring the account, investment purchases and sales will be made. RSI is authorized to
manage the cash balances by transacting in a money market fund, if necessary.
Investments are not held by RSI. Instead, all investments managed by RSI are usually held at the
brokerage firm ("Custodian") through which transactions are placed.
RSI does not assure or guarantee the results of its Asset Management Services; thus, losses can occur
from following RSI’s advice pertaining to any investment or investment approach, including using
conservative investment strategies.
All advisory services are tailored specifically to the individual needs of the clients as described within
each service above. Clients may impose restrictions on investment in certain securities or types of
securities.
RSI shall never have physical custody of any client funds or securities, as the services of a qualified and
independent custodian will be utilized for these asset management services.
RSI does not offer or participate in a wrap fee program.
As of March 31, 2025, RSI had assets under non-discretionary management of $189,210,196.
Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
Fees paid to RSI are for RSI advisory services only. The fees do not include, for example, the fees
charged by third parties such as third-party managers, or accountants and attorneys assisting with
providing the client with accounting and legal advice. Commissions on transactions and other account
fees will also be charged by brokerage firms in accordance with the account’s brokerage firm’s normal
commission schedule. See Item 12, Brokerage Practices. Customary commissions on insurance are also
not included.
Prospective clients should be aware that in addition to RSI's advisory fees, each mutual fund in which a
client's assets are invested also pays its own advisory fees and other internal expenses which already have
been deducted from the fund's reported performance. Depending on the fund, a client may be able to
invest directly in the shares issued by the fund with or without incurring any sales or third-party
management fees. Account maintenance fees are also deducted by the custodian.
In addition, there are tax effects pertaining to fund share redemptions, and other sales, made by RSI on
behalf of clients. Redemptions and sales are taxable events which may accelerate the recognition of
capital gains, and losses, and frequent redemptions and sales may result in short-term, rather than long-
term, capital gains and losses.
Clients should also be aware of the fact that different clients are charged different negotiated fees, thus
some clients pay more or less than others for similar services. Family members and employees of those
who work for RSI receive substantial fee discounts due to the family relationship. Client fees for specific
services may be charged in advance as described below.
5
Consulting Services Fee
RSI charges a flat fee for Consulting Services which varies from client to client. Fees are quoted in
advance and based upon the complexity of advisory services requested, number of anticipated meetings
and written reports, number of staff persons needed to complete a project and other factors. Prior to
engagement, each client signs an agreement with RSI which sets forth the total fee for services. A
negotiated down payment is due upon signing the Consulting Agreement with the balance due after
services are provided.
RSI may also charge an hourly rate which will vary from $100 to $300 per hour. A negotiated down
payment based upon the estimated number of hours per project is determined in advance of services being
provided.
After an initial analysis of the client's financial situation and needs is performed and an initial plan
provided to a client, RSI makes available continuing asset management services, on an asset-based fee
basis, designed to continue the advisory relationship to implement and monitor advice initially provided.
The agreement between RSI and a client for Consulting Services may be terminated by either party at any
time by written notice to the other. Any fee due, but not yet paid by a client, is due promptly after
termination of the agreement and is based upon the hourly rate used for the estimate.
The decision to accept any recommendation or advice provided from consultations and all decisions
regarding implementation thereof are left to the client. Clients are free to implement recommended
transactions through broker-dealers and other service providers other than those recommended by RSI.
RSI does not guarantee the results of its recommendations and losses can occur from the recommended
investments.
Asset Management Services Fee
The annual fee for nondiscretionary Asset Management Services is calculated as a percentage of assets
under management. Fees may vary from client to client and are negotiable in isolated circumstances.
The firm's range of fees follows:
Value of Assets
Under Management
First $1,000,000
Next $1,000,000
Over $2,000,000
Annual Fee
Percentages
1.00 %
0.75 %
0.50 %
Fees shall be paid quarterly in arrears based on the asset value of the Account as of the last business day of each
calendar quarter equal to one-fourth of the annual rates specified in Schedule A attached hereto and made a part
hereof. For purposes of the calculation of the fee, the value of the Account shall be determined as of the last
business day of each quarter. RSI may amend the fees shown on Schedule A in its sole discretion, provided that no
such amendment shall be effective unless and until RSI provides at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such
amendment to Client. There is a minimum fee of $1,000 per quarter or $4,000 annually. RSI may negotiate or
waive its fee or minimum at its discretion.
If this Agreement is terminated by either RSI or Client, Client agrees to pay RSI fees due but not yet paid RSI, prorated
to date of termination.
6
In addition, there may be an annual financial planning fee of $500 to cover financial planning reviews, tax planning
meetings and other financial issues that arise throughout the year.
RSI's Asset Management fee does not include transaction execution costs, custodial fees or other costs.
Although RSI believes its management fee is competitive, clients may be able to find similar services at
higher or lower costs. Also, there can be no assurance that transactions effected through RSI
representatives result in the lowest per transaction cost possible to a client.
Fees payable to RSI for Asset Management Services are, with the client’s prior permission, automatically
deducted from the client's account when due. The client will receive an invoice from RSI, as well as
reports from the account's custodian, showing the fee calculation and fee amounts debited. RSI will
liquidate money market shares to pay the fee and, if money market shares or cash value are not available,
other investments will be liquidated. Authorization for the deduction of fees from the managed account is
contained in the Services Agreement. The client may terminate the authorization for automatic deduction
at any time by notifying RSI in writing.
In the event of trading errors caused by RSI employees, it is RSI’s policy to make its clients whole and to
document errors in its trade error file. Any RSI created trade errors that result in a loss to a client will be
debited against RSI’s error account and the client made whole. Any RSI created trade errors that result in
a gain to a client, and the gain can be attributed to a client, the client is entitled to keep the gain. If RSI
makes a trade error that results in a gain to a client and the gain cannot be attributable to a particular
client, Schwab, and not RSI, keeps the gain. In that case, if the gain is more than $100, Schwab will
donate the gain to charity. If the gain is less than $100, Schwab will keep the gain to offset its
administrative time and expense.
Item 6 - Performance Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
RSI does not charge any performance-based fees. All fees are disclosed above.
Item 7 - Types of Clients/Minimum Account Size
RSI makes its' advisory services available to a wide variety of clients including. but not limited to,
individuals, pension and profit sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and
other business entities.
RSI usually does not require a minimum account size before accepting accounts for its various
management services. However, it does require a negotiated down payment prior to beginning
Consulting Services.
Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
RSI's security analysis methods include, but are not limited to, fundamental analysis (evaluating securities
based upon its historical and projected financial performance); and technical analysis (examining
technical moves in the price of an issue based upon peer securities or comparisons to an investment sector
or index). All securities analysis methods and strategies, even those used by RSI may involve a high
degree of risk and losses can occur.
RSI's main sources of information include, but are not limited to, financial newspapers and magazines,
research materials prepared by others, corporate rating services, timing services, annual reports,
prospectuses, public filings and company press releases.
7
RSI does not guarantee the results of the advice given. Thus, significant losses can occur by investing in
any security, or by following any strategy, including those recommended or applied by RSI.
RSI may recommend traditional exchange-traded funds ("ETF"). ETF shares are bought and sold at
market price unlike mutual funds. ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of stocks.
Item 9 - Disciplinary Information
RSI does not have any disciplinary information to report regarding itself or any of its counselors or other
related persons.
Item 10 - Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
RSI is not involved in any other financial industry activities nor does it have any financial industry
affiliations that are material to its advisory business.
Item 11 - Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal
Trading
RSI and its employees may buy and sell securities that they recommend to advisory clients for purchase
and sale. To the extent possible, the firm and its employees will process securities transactions for client
accounts ahead of similar transactions contemplated for their own accounts. To ensure employee
transactions are supervised, RSI has established a Code of Ethics designed to prevent conflicts of interest.
Under the requirements of the Code, each RSI employee is required to file personal transaction reports
regularly for transactions in accounts in which they have a beneficial interest. In addition, certain types of
transactions for employee personal accounts require preapproval and certain types of transactions are
prohibited. A complete copy of RSI’s Code of Ethics is available upon request.
Item 12 - Brokerage Practices
RSI does not maintain physical custody of client assets that it manages, although RSI may be deemed
to have custody of client assets if clients give RSI authority to withdraw assets from client accounts.
Client assets must be maintained in an account at a “qualified custodian”, generally a broker-dealer. RSI
recommends that clients use Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), a registered broker-dealer, member
SIPC, as the qualified custodian.
RSI is independently owned and operated and is not affiliated with any third-party broker-dealers. Client’s
broker-dealer will hold client assets in an account and buy and sell securities when RSI or client instructs
them to do so. While RSI may require that clients use Schwab as their custodian, clients will decide whether
to do so and will open their account with Schwab by entering into an account agreement directly with
Schwab. RSI does not open the account for the client, although RSI may assist the client in doing so.
How Adviser Recommends Brokers/Custodians
RSI seeks to recommend a custodian/broker who will hold client assets and execute transactions on terms
that are, overall, most advantageous when compared to other available providers and their services. RSI
considers a wide range of factors, including, among others:
• Combination of transaction execution services and asset custody services
• Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for client accounts)
8
• Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers, check requests,
etc.)
• Breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds,
etc.)
• Availability of investment research and tools that assist in making investment decisions
• Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, margin interest rates, other fees,
etc.) and willingness to negotiate the prices
• Quality of services and prior experience with other clients
• Reputation, financial strength, and stability
• Availability of other products and services that benefit RSI, as discussed below
Client Brokerage and Custody Costs
For client accounts that Schwab maintains, Schwab generally does not charge clients separately for custody
services but is compensated by charging commissions or fees on trades that it executes or that settle into
client Schwab accounts. In addition to transaction-related fees, Schwab charges clients a flat dollar amount
as a “prime broker” or “trade away” fee for each trade that RSI has executed by a different broker-dealer
but where the securities bought or the funds from the securities sold are deposited (settled) into client
Schwab accounts. These fees are in addition to the transaction-related fees or other compensation clients
pay the executing broker-dealer. Because of this, in order to minimize client trading costs, RSI has Schwab
execute most trades in client accounts. RSI has determined that having Schwab execute most trades is
consistent with RSI’s duty to seek “best execution” of client trades. Best execution means the most
favorable terms for a transaction based on all relevant factors.
Products and Services Available From Schwab
Schwab Advisor ServicesTM is Schwab’s business serving independent investment advisory firms like RSI.
Schwab provides RSI and its clients with access to its institutional brokerage – trading, custody, reporting,
and related services – many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers. Schwab also
makes available various support services to RSI that may help RSI manage or administer its client accounts.
Schwab’s support services generally are available on an unsolicited basis (RSI does not have to request
them) and at no charge to RSI. The availability of these services from Schwab benefits RSI because RSI
does not have to produce or purchase them. It also is a benefit to RSI because it is operationally more
efficient for RSI to have clients at one custodian.
Schwab also offers other services to RSI intended to help manage and further develop its business
enterprise. These services generally only benefit RSI and include:
• Educational conferences and events
• Consulting on technology and business needs
• Consulting on legal and related compliance needs
• Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession
• Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers
• Marketing consulting and support
Schwab provides some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party vendors to
provide the services to RSI. Schwab also discounts or waives its fees for some of these services or pays all
or a part of a third party’s fees. Schwab also provides RSI with other benefits, such as occasional business
entertainment of our personnel. If clients did not maintain their accounts with Schwab, RSI would be
required to pay for these services from its own resources. This is a conflict of interest. RSI believes,
9
however, that taken in the aggregate, its recommendation of Schwab as custodian and broker is in the best
interest of clients.
When placing orders for more than one client account, RSI may decide to aggregate similar purchase or
sale orders in the same security for several accounts resulting in an average price being applied to each
client account participating in the aggregate order. RSI does not exercise discretionary authority when
placing orders for customer accounts, except as discussed above regarding cash balances, if necessary.
In the event of trading errors caused by RSI employees, it is RSI’s policy to make its clients whole and to
document errors in its trade error file. Any RSI created trade errors that result in a loss to a client will be
debited against RSI’s error account and the client made whole. Any RSI created trade errors that result in
a gain to a client, and the gain can be attributed to a client, the client is entitled to keep the gain. If RSI
makes a trade error that results in a gain to a client and the gain cannot be attributable to a particular client,
Schwab, and not RSI, keeps the gain. In that case, if the gain is more than $100, Schwab will donate the
gain to charity. If the gain is less than $100, Schwab will keep the gain to offset its administrative time and
expense.
Item 13 - Review of Accounts and Reports
Managed accounts are reviewed on a day-to-day basis as deemed necessary by the client's account
manager. Managers supervise and manage approximately 150 accounts each. Quarterly managed
account reports prepared by RSI are not reviewed by any third party but are reviewed for accuracy by the
firm's account consultants, using RSI's records, transaction reports and custodian reports as a basis for
review.
Clients receiving Management Services receive a quarterly report from RSI identifying the securities in
their portfolio and the value of those securities. The firm's consultants and managers will review any
aspect of a client's account when asked to do so.
Client's receiving Consulting Services usually receive advice verbally, but the firm will prepare a written
report if asked to do so.
There are no restrictions on the ability of clients to contact and consult with the firm's managers and
counselors any time they wish regarding the content of any RSI report or any aspect of their account.
Item 14 - Client Referrals and Other Compensation
RSI does not currently have any client referral relationships. Thus, it does not pay any fee to a third party
for making client referrals to it. Also, as indicated above, the firm does not direct brokerage transactions
to any third party, including Schwab, in return for client referrals. See Item 12 Brokerage Practices for a
discussion of economic benefits received from Schwab.
Item 15 - Custody
RSI does not take physical custody of client funds or securities. These safekeeping services are typically
provided to managed accounts only by the brokerage firm processing the securities transactions ordered
by RSI.
To the extent a client receives any account or other investment ownership statement from RSI, RSI
recommends the client carefully compare the information in the report to the information in the
custodian’s statements. Clients may have standing letters of authorization on their accounts. RSI has
10
reviewed those relationships and determined that they meet the IAA no action letter seven conditions and
do not trigger the surprise custody audit. RSI does have access to some client passwords to enter trades
on their behalf, which triggers a surprise audit by an independent CPA.
Item 16 - Investment Discretion
RSI does not exercise discretionary authority when placing orders for customer accounts, except as
discussed above regarding cash balances, if necessary.
Item 17 - Voting Client Securities
RSI and its Representatives do not vote proxies on behalf of clients who will receive such notices from
their account’s custodian.
RSI also does not take any action on legal notices it or a client may receive from issuers of securities held
in a client’s managed account. However, it is available to answer questions regarding such notices.
Item 18 - Financial Information
RSI does not receive fees of more than $1,200 six months or more in advance. As an advisory firm that is
deemed to have custody, we are also required to disclose any financial condition that is reasonably likely
to impair our ability to meet our contractual obligations. RSI has no additional financial circumstances to
report.
