It also results in a written guide or plan for Taber Asset Management to make investment decisions on your behalf. In addition, we complete an Investment Policy Statement in which your investment strategies are outlined. We adhere to the Investment Policy Statement and continually maintain contact with the client. Security Analysis Our security analysis method is fundamental analysis which involves analyzing businesses: financial statements and health, management and competitive advantages, and competitors and markets. Sources of Information In conducting security analysis, we utilize a broad spectrum of information, including financial publications, third-party research materials, annual reports, prospectuses, regulatory filings, company press releases, and corporate rating services. Investment Strategies We employ a range of investment strategies to implement the advice we give to clients including: long-term purchases, short-term purchases, margin transactions, and option strategies including writing covered options. Risk Although we work hard to preserve your capital and achieve real growth of client wealth, investing in securities involves risk of loss that each client should be prepared to bear. Stock markets and bond markets fluctuate substantially over time. In addition, as recent global and domestic economic events have indicated, performance of any investment is not guaranteed. Certain strategies can impose more risk than others. Depending upon the client need and investment mandate, we will endeavor to thoroughly explain the rules applicable and address them in the investment management agreement as well. Additional risks are listed below: Lack of Diversification: There are no limits with respect to position sizes. Any assets or combination of assets that can be held in a securities account can be purchased or sold. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Accounts may maintain significant cash positions from time to time and the client will pay the Investment Management Fee based on the net asset value of the Account, including cash and cash equivalents. Furthermore, the Account may forego investment opportunities to hold cash positions if we consider it in the best interests of the Accounts. 7 Analysis: Like any other investment strategy or technique, fundamental analysis is not always successful. The fact that fundamentals show a stock to be undervalued does not guarantee that its shares will rise to intrinsic value any time soon. In reality, real price behavior is influenced by a myriad of factors that may undermine fundamental analysis. Long term Purchases (securities held at least a year) Liquidity: The portfolio may be invested in liquid securities. You should be aware that liquid securities may become less liquid during the holding period. Market Risks: The success of a significant portion of the program will depend, to a great extent, upon correctly assessing the future course of the price movements of the securities traded. Additionally, over time, the effectiveness of the trading program may decline, including due to other market participants developing similar programs or techniques. There are risks that are involved in trading and owning securities. Options and Other Derivatives: We may purchase or sell options (covered calls and the purchase of puts and calls and spreads) Both the purchasing and selling of call and put options entail risks. An investment in an option may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying securities. Cash Management Each client custodian “sweeps” non-invested cash balances in client accounts every day into a money market account selected by the client and offered as a service by the custodian. At client request, we will recommend the sweep vehicle among the choices offered by the custodian. In that case, we make a recommendation based on our understanding of the client’s tax status and risk preferences. Money market sweeps generally fall into four categories: government money market funds, prime rated money market funds, tax-exempt money market funds, and bank deposit sweep accounts. Our core expertise is active fixed income management (including corporate, government, and municipal bonds), risk-managed equity management (primarily common stocks) and customized balanced portfolios. Services include the management of a wide range of fixed income, balanced and equity portfolios. In addition to the types of securities described above, we can invest in preferred stocks, government agency obligations, money market instruments and such other securities that we select, unless expressly limited by written direction or client guidelines. Item 9 - Disciplinary Information Taber Asset Management and its employees do not have reportable disciplinary history. 8 Item 10 - Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations The Firm does not have any external Financial Industry Activities or Affiliations to report. Please see Form ADV Part 2B supplements for advisory representatives outside business activity. Item 11 - Code of Ethics, Participation in Client Transactions and Personal Trading We have imposed restrictions upon ourselves, or any person associated with us in connection with the purchase or sale, directly or indirectly, for their own account or accounts controlled by them, of securities recommended to or purchased for clients. We maintain strict guidelines and a Code of Ethics for all our employees designed to assure that we, or persons associated with us, may not benefit, directly or indirectly, from transactions made for the accounts of clients and that no other conflict of interest exists. We, our officers, employees or directors, are required to pre-clear securities trades in order to avoid a conflict of interest between individual and client interests. Our Code of Ethics contains various exemptions for personal securities trades that we believe do not involve potential conflicts, such as Treasury Securities, open-end mutual funds and stock of companies that we will not purchase for clients. A copy of our “Code of Ethics” is available upon request. Participation or Interest in Client Transactions Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers, directors and employees of our firm can trade for their own accounts in securities which are recommended to and/or purchased for our clients. The Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of our employees will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. Under the Code 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 our clients. Personal Trading The Code of Ethics permits employees to invest in the same securities as clients, resulting in a possibility that employees might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by an employee. Employee trading is continually monitored under the Code of Ethics to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between the firm and its clients. Trades will be aggregated, if possible, and diligence will be maintained to insure that any trades made in an employee account does not have a better price than the clients’ accounts. Our employees and persons are required to follow our Code of Ethics. Prohibition on Use of Insider Information 9 We have also adopted policies and procedures to prevent the misuse of “insider” information (material, non-public information). A copy of such policies and procedures is available to any person upon request. You may request a complete copy of our Code, free of charge, by contacting us at the address, telephone or email on the cover page of this Part 2. Item 12 - Brokerage Practices We recommend that our clients use Charles Schwab. (Schwab), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, as the qualified custodian. We are independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Schwab. Schwab will hold your assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell securities when we/you instruct them to. While we recommend that you use Schwab as a custodian/broker, you will decide whether to do so and open your account with Schwab by entering into an account agreement directly with them. Research Services / Soft Dollars Products and Services Available to Us from Schwab Schwab provides us and our clients with access to its trading, custody, reporting and related services – many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes available various support services. Some of those services help us manage or administer our clients’ accounts while others help us manage and grow our business. Schwab’s support services are generally available on an unsolicited basis (we do not have to request them) and at no charge to us as long as we keep our clients’ assets in accounts at Schwab. Here is a more detailed description of Schwab’s support services: Services that Benefit You Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of client assets. The investment products available through Schwab include some to which we might not otherwise have access or that would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment by our clients. Schwab’s services described in this paragraph generally benefit you and your account. Services that May Not Directly Benefit You Schwab also makes available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not directly benefit you or your account. These products and services assist us in managing and administering our clients’ accounts. They include investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of third parties. We may use this research to service all or some substantial number of our clients’ accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab. In addition to investment research, Schwab also makes available software and other technology that: • 10 • • provide access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account statements); facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts; provide pricing and other market data; • • facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts; and assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting. Services that Generally Benefit Only Us Schwab also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business enterprise. These services include: • • • • educational conferences and events technology, compliance, legal, and business consulting; publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; and access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers. Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party vendors to provide the services to us. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for some of these services or pay all or a part of a third party’s fees. Schwab may also provide us with other benefits such as occasional business entertainment of our personnel. Our Interest in Schwab’s Services The availability of these services from Schwab benefits us because we do not have to produce or purchase them. We do not have to pay for Schwab’s services so long as we keep client assets in accounts at Schwab. This may give us an incentive to recommend that you maintain your account with Schwab based on our interest in receiving Schwab’s services that benefit our business rather than based on your interest in receiving the best value in custody services and the most favorable execution of your transactions. This is a potential conflict of interest. We believe, however, that our selection of Schwab as custodian and broker is in the best interests of our clients. It is primarily supported by the scope, quality and price of Schwab’s services and not Schwab’s services that benefit only us. Benefits Received from Schwab Schwab will provide the following: i) services to support the transition and opening of accounts to and from the Firm, and ii) technology, marketing, research, and compliance-related expenses. The Adviser has no obligation to deal with any broker or group of brokers in executing transactions in portfolio securities. We do not participate in Brokerage for Client referrals. Directed Brokerage Not all Advisers require their clients to direct brokerage. Upon request, we may place all or a portion of the transactions with a broker with whom the client has a special advisory or consulting relationship. Such transactions are placed with a broker who may have provided manager selection services, performance measurement services, asset allocation services, or a variety of other consulting or monitoring assistance, all with the specific knowledge and full approval of the client. 11 With regard to client directed brokerage, we are required to disclose that we may be unable to negotiate commissions, block or batch client orders or otherwise achieve the benefits described above, including best execution, if you limit our brokerage discretion. Directed brokerage commission rates may be higher than the rates we might pay for transactions in non-directed accounts. Broker Analysis In an effort to achieve best execution, we consider the following factors in selecting brokers: • • • • • • • • • • • • • Execution capability Order size and market depth Availability of competing markets Trading characteristics of the security Availability of accurate information comparing markets Quantity and quality of research received from the broker dealer Financial responsibility of the broker-dealer Confidentiality Responsiveness Ability and willingness to commit capital Availability of accurate information comparing markets The technology to process such data Other factors that bear on the overall evaluation of best price and execution We monitor and evaluate the performance and execution capabilities of brokers that transact orders for our client accounts to ensure consistent quality executions. While our policy is to seek best execution, we may occasionally select a broker with relatively higher transaction costs than competitors if we determine in good faith that the cost is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided. We believe that we are able to negotiate costs on client transactions that are competitive and consistent with our policy to seek best execution. In addition, we periodically review our transaction costs in light of current market circumstances, available published statistical analysis as well as other relevant information. Trading Aggregation Practices When we trade the same security in more than one client account, we batch or “bunch” the trades in order to create a “block transaction.” whenever possible. Buying and selling in blocks helps create trading efficiencies, prompt attention and desired price execution. Whenever possible, we will attempt to batch or aggregate trades for clients who use the same directed brokers in order to create a “block transaction.” Where a block trade is completely filled, each participating Client Account will receive the average share/security price for the block trade order on the same day and transaction costs shall be shared among participating Client Accounts pro rata based on the level of participation in the block trade. The commission amount and per share commission rate will differ between our clients with directed brokerage relationships due to the dollar value and the size (number of shares) of the trade for each account and the total relationship between the client and their broker. Because each client differs in 12 portfolio size, investment objective, equity exposure and the extent of the relationship with their broker, we do not negotiate commission discounts on the block transaction itself. The client may receive a higher or lower price for a specific security depending upon the amount of time it takes for us to review and take action in all of our accounts. Item 13 – Review of Accounts William E. Taber, President and CCO reviews the managed accounts. General reviews such as a review of the clients’ holdings are made at least quarterly. A thorough review of the client’s portfolio and investment objectives are made at least annually. Financial planning accounts are reviewed annually. The calendar is the triggering factor. Unscheduled reviews can occur more often if additional trigger factors occur such as major market fluctuations, political or economic shifts and/or a change in the client’s goals or objectives occurs. Accounts at other money managers are reviewed when Taber Asset Management receives their statement- usually quarterly. We do not have a limitation on the number of client accounts assigned to any particular account officer, nor is there a precise sequence or review schedule. All portfolios are reviewed by William E. Taber. We prepare portfolio evaluations for the managed accounts. Client can choose to receive the portfolio evaluations monthly, quarterly or semi-annually. Portfolio evaluations are produced via Advent/Axys software in the form of a report(s) (including the following: Unrealized P&L, Realized P&L, Appraisal with Income, Performance Results -Individual) You will receive quarterly statements from your broker/dealers and custodians, mutual funds and other money managers, as appropriate. Those contracting only for preparation for a financial plan will not receive regular reports on their accounts as their agreement expires upon completion of the analysis and payment of the invoice. Item 14 - Client Referrals and Other Compensation Taber Asset Management has solicitation agreements pursuant to which it compensates third-party intermediaries (Smart Asset) for client leads that result in the provision of investment advisory services by Taber Asset Management. Solicitors introducing clients to Taber Asset Management will receive compensation from Taber Asset Management, in the form of a flat fee per lead. Leads may or not result in the client(s) becoming a client of Taber Asset Management. Such compensation will be paid pursuant to a written agreement with the solicitor. The cost of any such fees/leads will be borne entirely by Taber Asset Management and not by any affected client.” Employees of the company are eligible to receive additional compensation, such as bonuses, based on recurring revenue. Schwab provides Taber Asset Management, and our clients with access to its trading, custody, reporting and related services. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for details. 13 Item 15 - Custody We do not have actual custody of client assets. Taber Asset Management offers the service of having the advisory fee(s) deducted directly from the client’s custodial account as a matter of convenience, so the client does not have to write a check to the adviser each quarter. This is custody, but some relief from the additional books and records and net capital requirements is available, if the adviser complies with the following: (1) client authorizes the deduction in writing and (2) statements are forwarded from the custodian to the client reflecting the fee deduction at least quarterly or as often as fees are deducted. The custodian maintains actual custody of Client assets. Therefore, each client must select a custodian and can be required to pay custodian fees. Also, clients will incur brokerage and other transaction costs in the course of our management of their accounts. Clients will receive account statement from one or more qualified custodians covering the funds and securities in their account(s). We urge Clients to carefully review such statements and compare such official custodial records to the account statements that we may provide to you. Our statements may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities. Item 16 - Investment Discretion We have discretionary authority to make determinations regarding the securities that are to be bought and sold, as well as the quantities of such securities, for most clients. Such authority is provided in our contract with each client. This discretion is subject to mutually agreed upon investment guidelines relative to the client’s portfolio. We have model portfolio guidelines available for clients to adopt, in whole or in part, if they do not have their own. Client investment guidelines may or may not limit the scope of potential investments. As a result, clients can impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities. Within client guidelines and instructions, we make decisions as to the nature and quantity of securities to be bought or sold. Item 17 - Voting Client Securities As a matter of firm policy and practice, Taber Asset Management does not have any authority to and does not vote proxies on behalf of advisory clients. Clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for any and all securities maintained in client portfolios. If requested by the client, Taber Asset Management can provide advice to clients regarding the clients’ voting of proxies. Clients can contact us at the number listed on the ADV if they have questions about proxies.
