Item 4: Advisory Business
Description of Services and Fees
We are a registered investment adviser based in Smithfield, Rhode Island. We are organized as
a corporation under the laws of the State of Rhode Island, and we have been providing
investment advisory services since 1994. We are owned by Scott G. Everly, Kevin R. Worthley,
Todd M. Casazza, Arthur C. Everly, and Marissa L. Duckworth. Currently, we offer Portfolio
Management Services via our Custom Account Program, through Charles Schwab & Co, Inc.
(Schwab) and through a third-party adviser, SEI Investment Management Corporation, as well
as financial planning services, 529 College Savings Plan Asset Allocation Services, 401(k) Plan
Advisory Services and seminars. We are also registered as an insurance agency in the State of
Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
The following paragraphs describe our fees and services. Please refer to the description of each
investment advisory service listed below for information on how we tailor advisory services to
your individual needs. You may see the term Associated Person throughout this Brochure. As
used in this Brochure, our Associated Persons are our officers, employees, and all individuals
providing investment advice on behalf of our Firm.
Financial Planning Services
We offer broad-based, modular, and consultative financial planning services. Financial planning
will typically involve providing a variety of advisory services to clients regarding the
management of their financial resources based upon an analysis of their individual needs. If you
retain us for financial planning services, we will meet with you to gather information about your
financial circumstances and objectives. Once we review and analyze the information you
provide to us, we will deliver a written and/or online plan to you, designed to help you achieve
your stated financial goals and objectives.
If you require advice on a single aspect of the management of your financial resources, we offer
financial plans in a modular format and/or general consulting services that address only those
specific areas of concern. These areas may include, but are not limited to, retirement planning,
education planning, insurance and risk management, income tax planning, business planning,
portfolio review and asset allocation, and/or financial decision making/negotiation.
Financial plans are based on your financial situation at the time we present the plan to you, and
on the financial information you provide to us. You should promptly notify us if your financial
situation, goals, objectives, or needs change.
You are under no obligation to act on our financial planning recommendations. Should you
choose to act on any of our recommendations, you are not obligated to implement the financial
plan with us or use any of the other financial services or products we offer. Moreover, you may
act on our recommendations through any other brokerage firm, investment advisor, or provider
of investment or insurance products, or other financial services.
4
We are compensated either by an hourly rate of $200 or by a fixed fee, which generally ranges
between $250 and $3,000. The type and amount of fees charged to you, subject to negotiation,
will be based on your financial situation and the services requested. An estimate of the total
cost will be determined at the start of the advisory relationship. The final fee shall be directly
dependent upon the facts and circumstances of your financial situation and the complexity of
the financial plan or service(s) requested. In limited circumstances, the cost/time could
potentially exceed the initial estimate. In such cases, we will notify you and may request that
you pay an additional fee.
We will require that you pay an initial retainer equal to one-half of the estimated financial
planning fees in advance of any services rendered. The remaining balance shall be due and
payable upon completion of the contracted services. Under no circumstances will we require
prepayment of a fee more than six months in advance or in excess of $1,200.
We may, in our discretion, offset up to one-half of the financial planning fees should you
choose to implement the investment management recommendations through us. Where we
determine that we will offset fees, the scope and complexity of the financial planning services
that were provided will determine the offset of the fee.
Upon the initial presentation of a written or online financial plan to you, our objective is that
you are satisfied with the plan as it is delivered. However, it may be the case that you are not
satisfied with the plan upon initial presentation, and, under these circumstances, we will
amend the plan as needed at no additional charge to you. You may terminate the financial
planning agreement by providing written notice. You will incur a pro rata charge for services
rendered prior to the termination of the agreement. If you have pre-paid advisory fees that we
have not yet earned, you will receive a prorated refund of those fees. We offer an annual
review of your plan at your discretion. A one-time review fee may be requested for each annual
review at our discretion.
Portfolio Management Services
Custom Account Program
We offer discretionary portfolio management services using our Custom Account Program
("Custom Account") whereby our investment advice is tailored to meet your needs and
investment objectives. If you retain our portfolio management services, we will meet with you
to determine your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and other relevant information (the
"suitability information") at the beginning of our advisory relationship. We will use the
suitability information we gather to develop a strategy that enables us to provide you with
continuous and focused investment advice and to make investments on your behalf. As part of
our portfolio management services, we may customize an investment portfolio for you in
accordance with your risk tolerance and investing objectives. We may also invest your assets
according to one or more model portfolios we have developed. Once we construct an
investment portfolio for you, or select a model portfolio, we will monitor your portfolio's
5
performance on an ongoing basis and will rebalance the portfolio as needed by changes in
market conditions and in your financial circumstances.
In the Custom Account, we invest your assets primarily in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and
such portfolios are comprised of a mix of asset classes which may be based on one or more
model portfolios. However, you may wish to transact in other types of securities, (such as
mutual funds, equities, and fixed-income securities), through this account.
Under these circumstances, we will invest in these types of securities only upon specific
direction from you. Moreover, choosing to purchase/sell these types of securities in the Custom
Account may cause the portfolio's percentage weightings in certain assets classes to be over- or
under-weighted. As a result, you may be exposed to more (or less) risk and may experience
larger (or smaller) performance returns in your account.
If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant
us discretionary authority to manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow us to
determine the specific securities, and the number of securities, to be purchased or sold for your
account without your approval prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority is typically
granted by the investment advisory agreement, a limited power of attorney, or trading
authorization forms you will be asked to sign. You may limit our discretionary authority (for
example, limiting the types of securities that can be purchased for your account) by providing
us with your restrictions and guidelines in writing.
We provide our Custom Account Program portfolio management and investment advisory
services though Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. ("CS&Co"). We are independent of and not owned
by, affiliated with, or sponsored or supervised by SWIA, CS&Co or their affiliates (together,
"Schwab"). Schwab services are provided through and disclosed in their Schwab Wealth
Investment Advisory, Inc. Disclosure Brochure (the "Program Disclosure Brochure"), which is
delivered to clients by SWIA during the account opening process.
Upon accepting our services in our Custom Account Program, we will assist you in completing
the appropriate forms to open account(s) with Schwab along with other forms as required by
Schwab and our internal Policies and Procedures for new accounts, including an Investment
Advisory Agreement that governs your and our business relationship.
We, and not Schwab, are the client's investment advisor and primary point of contact with
respect to the Program. We are solely responsible, and Schwab is not responsible, for
determining the appropriateness of the Program for the client, choosing a suitable investment
strategy and portfolio for the client's investment needs and goals, and managing that portfolio
on an ongoing basis. SWIA's role is limited to delivering the Program Disclosure Brochure to
clients and administering the Program so that it operates as described in the Program
Disclosure Brochure.
We have contracted with SWIA to provide us with the technology platform and related trading
and account management services for the Program. This platform enables us to make the
6
Program available to clients online.
Clients do not pay fees to SWIA in connection with the Program, but we charge clients as per
our fee schedule (see below). Our Program fees are not set or supervised by Schwab. Clients do
not pay brokerage commissions or any other fees to CS&Co as part of the Program. Schwab
does receive other revenues in connection with the Program, as described in the Program
Disclosure Brochure.
We do not pay SWIA fees for its services in the Program so long as we maintain $100 million in
client assets in accounts at CS&Co .
Our fee for portfolio management services is based on a percentage of your assets we manage
and is set forth in the following fee schedule:
Assets Under Management
Maximum
Annualized Fee**
1.00%
Assets less than or equal to
$500,000
Next $1,000,000
Over $1,500,000
0.67%
0.33%
For the Custom Account , Program, our annual portfolio management fee is calculated and
deducted from your account prorated quarterly in arrears based on the value of your account
on the last day of the quarter. Clients who prefer to be billed directly for their management
fees may submit a written request for this service. For these clients we generate and mail your
bill on the same schedule. The fee schedules listed above reflect the fees charged for the
management of the assets held in your account. This fee does not include any transaction
charges or other fees imposed by the account's custodian, or any of the expense charges by the
mutual funds or the ETFs purchased for your account. Upon your request, we will provide a fee
schedule that provides more information on the transaction charges and maintenance fees (if
any) imposed by the account custodian. Fund expenses are fully disclosed in the prospectus for
the fund provided to you by the custodian. We do not charge advisory fees for individual
common stock, individual bonds or other such securities held in a client's account at their
direction.
If you execute the Investment Advisory Agreement at any time other than the first day of a
calendar quarter, our fees will apply on a pro-rate basis, which means that the advisory fee is
payable in proportion to the number of days in the quarter for which your account is funded. If
you withdraw more than 20% of the account balance from your account prior to the end of the
calendar quarter, we will be entitled to pro-rata fees on such withdrawal. Our advisory fee is
negotiable, depending on individual client circumstances.
At our discretion, we may combine the account values of family members living in the same
7
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
you paying a reduced advisory fee based on the available breakpoints in our fee schedule
stated above.
The qualified custodian (Schwab) holding your funds and securities will debit your account
directly for the advisory fees. Where your account is debited directly for the advisory fee, you
will provide written authorization permitting the fees to be paid directly from your account
held by the qualified custodian. We will not have access to your funds for payment of fees
without your consent in writing. Further, the qualified custodian agrees to deliver at least a
quarterly account statement directly to you. You are encouraged to review your account
statements for accuracy.
You may terminate the investment advisory agreement upon 30 days’ written notice. You will
incur a pro rata charge for services rendered prior to the termination of the agreement, which
means you will incur advisory fees only in proportion to the number of days in the quarter for
which you are a client. If you have pre-paid advisory fees that we have not yet earned, you will
receive a prorated refund of those fees.
SEI Asset Management Program
We also service clients who have accounts in the SEI Asset Management Program (the
"Program") The SEI Asset Management Program is a program whereby an independent
investment adviser can make the SEI family of mutual funds available to clients. SEI is not an
investment adviser in this instance and does not have an investment adviser relationship with
you. The Program is designed as follows:
• First, we will determine your risk profile and investment objectives. We will help you set
appropriate investment objectives as well as determine your investment time horizon
and risk profile.
• Next, we will set a relevant asset allocation policy for you. With our assistance, you will
choose one of many mutual fund asset allocation models made available through the
Program.
• We will diversify the accounts among different asset classes and styles. SEI selects the
investment managers of the underlying mutual funds and utilizes various outside
institutional investment management firms. The managers are monitored by SEI to
ensure that their investment styles and performance remain consistent with the
objectives of the mutual funds.
• We will supervise the account and take action in the account using our discretionary
authority where we deem appropriate. Such action will be based upon
recommendations provided by SEI based on the asset allocation model you chose.
• SEI Trust Company (a subsidiary of SEI Investments Company) acts as the transfer agent
and custodian for your account. SEI Trust Company provides reporting services including
consolidated monthly or quarterly statements (as selected by you), quarterly
8
performance reports, and year-end tax reports.
We charge an investment advisory fee as stated below. SEI charges an expense ratio to the
fund; all expense ratios are disclosed in the prospectuses of the funds. SEI Private Trust
Company, a subsidiary of SEI Investments Co. acts as the transfer agent and custodian for your
account. SEI Private Trust Company, on our behalf and your behalf, debits the advisory fee from
your account. SEI does not participate in the advisory fee. SEI Private Trust Company then
forwards the fee to us.

SEI Trust Company will calculate and debit your account on a quarterly basis for the above-
mentioned fees and charges. The charges to the account will be on an arrears basis and will be
remitted quarterly net of any applicable account and performance reporting charges not
charged to you. Upon written notification, either party may terminate the agreement. Prorated
fees will be charged based on market value on the date notice is received.
You sign an advisory contract with us and account opening documentation with SEI. We provide
our Firm Brochure to you and SEI provides a prospectus for the mutual funds utilized in the fee-
based account. As custodian, SEI Private Trust Company provides all reporting functions for the
account and supplies you with a statement on at least a quarterly basis. SEI does not act in the
capacity of an investment adviser to you and therefore does not provide a solicitor's
agreement, or their Brochure. The fee schedule that we charge for our advisory services in
connection with the SEI Asset Management Program is included herein and in the SEI Advisory
Agreement for client disclosure.
SEI Managed Account Program
We are also presently participating in the SEI Managed Accounts Program (the "Program"). To
participate in the Program, we, SEI Investments Management Corporation ("SIMC") and you
execute a tri-party agreement ("Managed Account Agreement") providing for the management
of certain assets in accordance with the terms thereof.
Pursuant to a Managed Account Agreement, you appoint us as your investment adviser to
assist you in selecting an asset allocation strategy, which includes the percentage of assets
allocated to designated portfolios of separate securities (each, a "Managed Account Portfolio")
and may include the percentage of assets allocated to a portfolio of mutual funds advised by
SIMC or an affiliate of SIMC. You appoint SIMC to manage the assets in each Managed Account
Portfolio in accordance with an agreed upon strategy. SIMC may delegate its responsibility for
9
selecting particular securities to one or more portfolio managers.
The fees payable to us are as follows:
Assets Under Management
Maximum
Annualized Fee
1.00%
Assets less than or equal to
$500,000
Next $1,000,000
Over $1,500,000
0.67%
0.33%
SIMC may impose minimum account balances ranging from $50,000 to $1,000,000 depending
upon the Managed Account Portfolio chosen and whether you select the tax management
feature.
Advisory fees charged by SIMC are separate and apart from our advisory fees. Assets managed
by SIMC will be included in calculating our advisory fee. Advisory fees that you pay to the SIMC
are established and payable in accordance with the brochure provided by SIMC. These fees may
or may not be negotiable. You should review SIMC's brochure and take into consideration
SIMC's fees along with our fees to determine the total amount of fees associated with this
program.
Under this Program, you receive investment advisory services, the execution of securities
brokerage transactions, custody services and reporting services for a single specified fee.
Participation in the Program may cost you more or less than purchasing such services
separately.
Additionally, the Program offers a feature called Integrated Managed Accounts ("IMAP"), which
is an enhancement to the standard Program. In IMAP, SIMC selects one sub-adviser to serve as
a tax manager for the entire Managed Account Portfolio. Other sub-advisers recommend
securities using buy/sell lists for their specific asset class to which you have selected. An
integration fee will be charged to your account when you select the IMAP feature. The fee will
cover the integration of the equity managers, which will help result in increased coordination
across the equity account, increased tax efficiency and additional features such as wash sale
prevention. These additional fees only apply to the equity portion of your account that is
allocated to the integrated equities portfolio; the fees do not apply to the fixed income or funds
portion of your account (if applicable). A selection of your assets may receive a fee discount.
529 College Savings Plan Asset Allocation Services
We offer discretionary asset allocation services to 529 College Savings Plans whereby our
investment advice is tailored to meet your needs and investment objectives. If you retain our
529 College Savings Plan Asset Allocation services, we will meet with you to determine your
investment objectives, risk tolerance, and other relevant information (the "suitability
10
information") at the beginning of our advisory relationship. We will assist you in setting up a
529 Plan Account. With respect to this account, we will use the suitability information we
gather to develop a strategy that enables us to give you asset allocation advice and to make
investments on your behalf. Once we construct an investment portfolio for you, we will review
your 529 Plan holdings on at least an annual basis and will rebalance the holdings as required
by changes in market conditions, your financial circumstances, and the circumstances of the
account's named beneficiary regarding the proximity of requiring distributions for qualified
expenses, (e.g., qualified educational expenses in the near future).
If you participate in our discretionary asset allocation services, we require you to grant us
discretionary authority to manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow us to
determine the specific securities, and the number of securities, to be purchased or sold for your
account without your approval prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority is typically
granted by the investment advisory agreement you sign with us, a limited power of attorney, or
trading authorization forms. You may limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the
types of securities that can be purchased for your account) by providing us with your
restrictions and guidelines in writing.
Our fee for the Services provided is an initial set-up fee of $150 when the account is opened. In
the following calendar year and annually thereafter, an investment advisory fee of $150 per
year will be billed to you for our continued services. The annual advisory fee shall be billed
directly to the owner listed on the account and shall be payable to Wealth Management
Resources, Inc. within 30 days of receipt. Our advisory fee is negotiable, depending on
individual client circumstances. This fee does not include any transaction charges or other fees
imposed by the plan’s sponsor, or any of the expense charges by the municipal fund securities
purchased for your account. For clients who already have a relationship with us, we may, at our
discretion, waive our normal fees for advising on these accounts in respect of this established
relationship.
Fund expenses are fully disclosed in the Program Description for the 529 College Savings Plan
provided to you by us. Statements will be delivered directly to you on at least a quarterly basis
from the 529 College Savings Plan sponsor. You are encouraged to review your account
statements for accuracy.
You may terminate the investment advisory agreement upon 30 days’ written notice.
401K Plan Advisory Services (Participant-Directed Plans)
We offer Advisory Services to 401(k) plans and their fiduciaries based upon the needs of the
plan and the services requested by the plan sponsor or named fiduciary. In general, these
services may include plan level investment advice regarding fund selection and investment
options, development of an investment policy statement, performance reporting and advice on
qualified default investment alternatives. These services will generally be non-discretionary and
advisory in nature. The ultimate decision to act on behalf of the plan shall remain with the plan
sponsor or other named fiduciary.
11
We also assist with participant enrollment meetings and provide investment-related
educational seminars to plan participants on such topics as:
• Diversification
• Asset allocation
• Risk tolerance
• Time horizon
Our educational seminars may include other investment-related topics specific to the particular
plan.
We may also provide additional types of 401k Plan Advisory Services on an individually
negotiated basis. All services, whether discussed above or customized for the plan based upon
requirements from the plan fiduciaries shall be detailed in a written advisory agreement and be
consistent with the parameters set forth in plan documents.
Our fee for 401k Plan Advisory Services is based on the following tiered fee schedule:
Value of Plan Assets
Under $1,000,000
$1,000,001 to $3,500,000
$3,500,001 to $5,500,000
Over $5,500,000
Annualized Fee
0.50%
0.40%
0.30%
0.20%
Our annual fee is billed and payable quarterly in arrears based on either the plan's asset value
on the last day of the billing quarter or based upon the plan's average asset value during the
billing quarter. If the advisory agreement is executed at any time other than the first day of a
calendar quarter, our fees will apply on a pro rata basis, which means that the advisory fee is
payable in proportion to the number of days in the quarter for which you are a client. The
custodian of the Plan's assets will calculate our fee based on our fee schedule above, deduct
the fee from the Plan's account and remit the fee to us.
The Plan Sponsor may terminate the advisory agreement upon 30 days written notice and the
Plan will incur a pro rata charge for services rendered prior to the termination of the
agreement, which means the Plan will incur advisory fees only in proportion to the number of
days in the quarter for which the Plan is under our management.
As disclosed above, we offer various levels of advisory services to 401k Plans ("Plan") and to the
participants of such plans (“Participants”). The services are designed to assist plan sponsors in
meeting their management and fiduciary obligations to Participants under the Employee
Retirement Income Securities Act (“ERISA”). Pursuant to adopted regulations of the U.S.
Department of Labor under ERISA Section 408(b)(2), we are required to provide the Plan's
12
responsible plan fiduciary (the person who has the authority to engage us as an investment
adviser to the Plan) with a written statement of the services we provide to the Plan, the
compensation we receive for providing those services, and our status (which is described
below).
The services we provide to your Plan are described above, and in the advisory agreement that
you have signed. Our compensation for these services is described above and in the advisory
agreement. We may, with the consent of the Plan, and in accordance with Plan documents, bill
out-of-pocket expenses (such as overnight mailings, messenger, translation fees, etc.) at cost.
We do not expect to receive any other compensation, direct or indirect, for the services we
provide to the Plan or Participants.
In providing services to the Plan and Participants, our status is that of an investment adviser
registered under the Investment Adviser Act of 1940, and we are not subject to any
disqualifications under Section 411 of ERISA. In performing ERISA fiduciary services, we are
acting as a non-discretionary fiduciary of the Plan as defined in ERISA Section 3(21).
SIMPLE IRA Plus Plan Advisory Services (Participant-Directed Plans)
The SIMPLE IRA Plus Plan is an employer-sponsored retirement savings program designed for
smaller employers under 100 employees. This program combines many of the attributes of
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA’s) within a payroll-deduction retirement savings plan that
may be offered by employers to assist their employees in saving for their financial future, but
without many of the costs and regulatory obligations required of ERISA-qualified 401(k)
programs and other plans.
We provide Non-Fiduciary Advisory Services to SIMPLE IRA plans, their Plan Sponsors, and their
Participants. Currently, we only offer SIMPLE IRA services via the SIMPLE IRA Plus Plan program
offered through the American Funds Mutual Fund Company.
We will assist Plan Sponsors to establish and maintain a SIMPLE IRA Plus Plan through the
American Funds Mutual Fund Company. Once a SIMPLE IRA Plus Plan has been established, we
will offer enrollment meetings to introduce the plan to participants (employees) and assist
participants (employees) with the set-up of their individual accounts. Plan participants
(employees) will be establishing their accounts directly with the American Funds Mutual Fund
Company, making their own investment selections from the available investment option
offered in the program.
Because the American Funds Mutual Fund Company SIMPLE IRA Plus Plan provides a
predetermined list of investment options, our services will generally be non-discretionary in
nature. The ultimate decision to utilize the program shall remain with the Plan Sponsor or other
named fiduciary.
At the request of the Plan Sponsor, we may, from time to time, also assist with new participant
enrollment and provide investment-related educational seminars to plan participants on such
13
topics as:
• Retirement Planning
• Asset allocation
• Risk tolerance
• Time horizon
Educational seminars may include other investment-related topics that will be general in nature
but may include information on investments specific to the program.
All services, whether discussed above or customized for the plan based upon requirements
from the plan fiduciaries, shall be detailed in a written advisory agreement and be consistent
with the parameters set forth in plan documents.
Fees for the SIMPLE IRA Plus Plan are based on the following tiered fee schedule based upon
the aggregate value of the SIMPLE IRA Plus Plan accounts:
Value of Assets
Under $1,000,000
$1,000,001 to $3,000,000
$3,000,001 to $5,000,000
Over $5,000,000
Annualized Fee
0.50%
0.40%
0.30%
0.20%
The adjusted quarterly fees are payable in arrears based upon the aggregate value of all
participant accounts within the SIMPLE IRA Plus Plan on the last day of the billing quarter or
based upon the plan's average daily balance as determined by the American Funds Mutual Fund
Company’s recordkeeping system during the calendar quarter. American Funds Mutual Fund
Company will calculate the aggregate fee for the previous calendar quarter. The resulting
amount will be divided proportionately among participants in the plan on their account
balances on the day the fees are processed. American Funds Mutual Fund Company will remit
the quarterly fee to us in March, June, September, and December as applicable.
The Plan Sponsor may terminate the advisory agreement upon 30 days written notice and the
Plan will incur a pro rata charge for services rendered prior to the termination of the
agreement, which means the Plan will incur advisory fees only in proportion to the number of
days in the quarter for which the Plan is under our management.
Seminars
We may also provide seminars to retirement plan participants on topics which may include but
may not be limited to education and enrollment. We will not render specific investment advice
to anyone individual at such seminars and the information provided will be of a general nature.
The fee and fee-paying arrangements for seminars (if any) are negotiable and will vary on a
case-by-case basis.
14
Wrap Fee Programs
A “wrap-fee” program is one that provides the client with advisory and brokerage execution
services for an all-inclusive fee. The client is not charged separate fees for the respective
components of the total service. We do not sponsor, manage, or participate in a Wrap Fee
Program.
Fiduciary Statement
We are fiduciaries under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”) and when we
provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are also fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act, (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code, (“IRC”), as
applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts.
We have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time,
the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. We must take into
consideration each client’s objectives and act in the best interests of the client. We are
prohibited from engaging in any activity that conflicts with the interests of the client. We have
the following responsibilities when working with a client:
• To render impartial advice;
• To make appropriate recommendations based on the client’s needs, financial
circumstances, and investment objectives;
• To exercise a high degree of care and diligence to ensure that information is presented
in an accurate manner and not in a way to mislead;
• To have a reasonable basis, information, and understanding of the facts in order to
provide appropriate recommendations and representations;
• Disclose any material conflict of interest in writing; and
• Treat clients fairly and equitably.
Regulations prohibit us from:
• Employing any device, scheme, or artifice to defraud a client;
• Making any untrue statement of a material fact to a client or omitting to state a material
fact when communicating with a client;
• Engaging in any act, practice, or course of business which operates or would operate as
fraud or deceit upon a client; or
• Engaging in any manipulative act or practice with a client.
We will act with competence, dignity, integrity, and in an ethical manner, when working with
clients. We will use reasonable care and exercise independent professional judgement when
conducting investment analysis, making investment recommendations, trading, promoting our
services, and engaging in other professional activities.

Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, we manage $385,218,918 in client assets; $358,362,079 is managed
on a discretionary basis and $26,856,839 on a non-discretionary basis.
16
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Additional Fees and Expenses
As part of our investment advisory services to you, we will invest, or recommend that you
invest, in exchange traded funds. The fees that you pay to us for investment advisory services
are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by exchange traded funds or
mutual funds within your account (as described in each fund's prospectus) to their
shareholders. These fees will generally include a management fee and other fund expenses.
With respect to accounts where Schwab is the custodian, we attempt to limit purchases to
funds available through the Schwab OneSource service (including Schwab Funds) as well as
certain other funds that are available without transaction fees. For funds not available through
the Schwab Funds OneSource service you will also incur transaction charges and/or brokerage
fees when purchasing or selling securities. These charges and fees are typically imposed by the
broker-dealer or custodian through whom your account transactions are executed. We do not
share in any portion of the brokerage fees/transaction charges imposed by the broker-dealer or
custodian. To fully understand the total cost you will incur, you should review all the fees
charged by mutual funds, exchange traded funds, us, and others.
Compensation for the Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products
In addition, we are also licensed as an insurance producer and advisors providing investment
advice on our behalf are also licensed as insurance agents. We will earn commission-based
compensation for selling insurance products, such as life, disability, long-term care insurance,
and annuities to you. Insurance commissions are separate and in addition to our advisory fees.
The sale of insurance products and annuities presents a conflict of interest because advisors
providing investment advice on our behalf who are insurance agents have an incentive to
recommend insurance products to you for the purpose of generating commissions rather than
solely based on your needs. You are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to
purchase any insurance product through us or any of our affiliates.
Cash Balances
Some of your assets may be held as cash and remain uninvested. Holding a portion of your
assets in cash and cash alternatives, i.e., money market fund shares, may be based on your
desire to have an allocation to cash as an asset class, to support a phased market entrance
strategy, to facilitate transaction execution, to have available funds for withdrawal needs or to
pay fees or to provide for asset protection during periods of volatile market conditions. Your
cash and cash equivalents will be subject to our investment advisory fees unless otherwise
agreed upon. You may experience negative performance on the cash portion of your portfolio if
the investment advisory fees charged are higher than the returns you receive from your cash.
Retirement Plan Rollover Recommendations
As part of our investment advisory services to our clients, we may recommend that clients roll
assets from their employer’s retirement plan, such as a 401(k), 457, or ERISA 403(b) account
(collectively, a “Plan Account”), to an individual retirement account, such as a SIMPLE IRA, SEP
17
IRA, Traditional IRA, or Roth IRA (collectively, an “IRA Account”) that we will advise on the
client’s behalf. We may also recommend rollovers from IRA Accounts to Plan Accounts, from
Plan Accounts to Plan Accounts, and from IRA Accounts to IRA Accounts.
If the client elects to roll the assets to an IRA that is subject to our advisement, we will charge
the client an asset-based fee as set forth in the advisory agreement the client executed with our
Firm. This creates a conflict of interest because it creates a financial incentive for our Firm to
recommend the rollover to the client (i.e., receipt of additional fee-based compensation).
Clients are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to complete the rollover. Moreover,
if clients do complete the rollover, clients are under no obligation to have the assets in an IRA
advised on by our Firm. Due to the foregoing conflict of interest, when we make rollover
recommendations, we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in our clients’ best
interests and not put our interests ahead of our clients’.
Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
prudent advice);
• never put our financial interests ahead of our clients’ when making recommendations
(give loyal advice);
• avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
•
follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in our
clients’ best interests;
• charge no more than a reasonable fee for our services; and
• give clients basic information about conflicts of interest.
Many employers permit former employees to keep their retirement assets in their company
plan. Also, current employees can sometimes move assets out of their company plan before
they retire or change jobs. In determining whether to complete the rollover to an IRA, and to
the extent the following options are available, clients should consider the costs and benefits of
a rollover. Note that an employee will typically have four options in this situation:
1. leaving the funds in the employer’s (former employer’s) plan;
2. moving the funds to a new employer’s retirement plan;
3. cashing out and taking a taxable distribution from the plan; or
4. rolling the funds into an IRA rollover account.
Each of these options has positives and negatives. Because of that, along with the importance
of understanding the differences between these types of accounts, we will provide clients with
an explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of both account types and document the
basis for our belief that the rollover transaction we recommend is in your best interests.
General Information on Compensation and Other Fees
18
In certain circumstances, fees, account minimums and payment terms are negotiable
depending on client’s unique situation – such as the size of the aggregate related party
portfolio size, family holdings, low-cost basis securities, or certain passively advised investments
and pre-existing relationships with clients.
Our 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 our fees, and we shall
not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
All fees paid to us for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and
expenses charged by mutual funds to their shareholders. These fees and expenses are
described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee, other
expenses, and a possible distribution fee.
A client could invest in a mutual fund directly, without our services. In that case, the client
would not receive our services, which are designed, among other things, to assist the client in
determining which mutual funds are most appropriate to each client’s financial condition and
objectives. Accordingly, the client should review both the fees charged by the funds and the
fees charged by us to fully understand the total amount of fees to be paid by the client and to
thereby evaluate the advisory services being provided. Clients should note that similar advisory
services may (or may not) be available from other registered investment advisers for similar or
lower fees.
Mutual Fund Share Class Selection
Similar investment management services may (or may not) be available from other investment
advisers for a lower fee. Investment management fees, which include investment management
and transaction costs, may be more or less costly than paying for the services separately,
depending upon the investment advisory fees charged, the number of transactions for the
account, the mutual fund share class you purchase, and the underlying 12(b)-1 fee, and the
level of brokerage and other fees that would be payable if you obtained the services available
under the program individually.
19
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
“Performance-based fees” are fees based on the capital gains or capital appreciation in an
account. We do not charge performance-based fees. “Side-by-side management” refers to the
practice of managing both accounts that are charged a performance-based fee and accounts
that are charged other types of fees, such as asset-based fees and hourly fees. Because we do
not charge performance-based fees, we do not engage in side-by-side management.
20
Item 7: Types of Clients
We offer investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, pension and
profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, and other business
entities.
In general, we require a minimum of $150,000 to open and maintain an advisory account.
Additionally, we require that any subsequent investment into the Custom Account be in an
amount of $250 or more. At our discretion, we may waive these minimums. For example, we
may waive the minimum account size if you appear to have significant potential for increasing
your assets under our management or are referred by an existing client. We may also combine
account values for you and your minor children, joint accounts with your spouse, and other
types of related accounts to meet the stated minimum size.
SIMC may impose minimum account balances ranging from $50,000 to $1,000,000 depending
upon the Managed Account Portfolio chosen and whether the investor selects the tax
management feature.
21
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Our Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
We may use one or more of the following methods of analysis or investment strategies when
providing investment advice to you:
• Fundamental Analysis - Fundamental analysis involves analyzing individual companies
and their industry groups, such as a company's financial statements, details regarding
the company's product line, the experience, and expertise of the company's
management, and the outlook for the company's industry. The resulting data is used to
measure the true value of the company's stock compared to the current market value.
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.
• Long Term Purchases - securities purchased with the expectation that the value of those
securities will grow over a relatively long period of time, generally greater than one
year.
Our investment strategies and advice may vary depending upon each client's specific financial
situation. As such, we determine investments and allocations based upon your predefined
objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, financial horizon, financial information, liquidity needs,
and other various suitability factors. Your restrictions and guidelines may affect the
composition of your portfolio.
Our strategies and investments will impact your tax situation. However, unless we specifically
agree otherwise, and in writing, tax efficiency is not our primary consideration in the
management of your account. Regardless of your account size or any other factors, we strongly
recommend that you continuously consult with a tax professional prior to and throughout the
investing of your assets.
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
All investments involve the risk of loss, including (among other things) loss of principal, a
reduction in earnings (including interest, dividends, and other distributions), and the loss of
future earnings. Although we manage assets in a manner consistent with your investment
objectives and risk tolerance, there can be no guarantee that our efforts will be successful. You
should be prepared to bear the following risks of loss:
•
Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to
fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less
attractive, causing their market values to decline.
22
• Market Risk: The price of a security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in reaction to
•
tangible and intangible events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by external
factors independent of a security’s particular underlying circumstances. For example,
political, economic, and social conditions may trigger market events.
Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar next year will not buy as
much as a dollar today, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
• Currency Risk: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the
dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also referred
to as exchange rate risk.
• Reinvestment Risk: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have to
be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e., interest rate). This primarily
relates to fixed income securities.
• Business Risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a particular
company within an industry. For example, oil-drilling companies depend on finding oil
and then refining it, a lengthy process, before they can generate a profit. They carry a
higher risk of profitability than an electric company, which generates its income from a
steady stream of customers who buy electricity no matter what the economic
environment is like.
• Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash.
Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized
product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties (i.e.,
non-traded REITs and other alternative investments) are not.
• Financial Risk: Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations increases the risk
of profitability, because the company must meet the terms of its obligations in good
times and bad. During periods of financial stress, the inability to meet loan obligations
may result in bankruptcy and/or a declining market value.
• Cybersecurity Risk: A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and
unintentional events that may cause an account to lose proprietary information, suffer
data corruption, or lose operational capacity. This in turn could cause an account to
incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and additional compliance costs
associated with corrective measures, and/or financial loss.
• Pandemic Risk: Large-scale outbreaks of infectious disease can greatly increase
morbidity and mortality over a wide geographic area, crossing international boundaries,
and causing significant economic, social, and political disruption.
• Custodial Risk: This risk is the probability that a party to a transaction will be unable or
unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligations either due to technological errors, control
failures, malfeasance, or potential regulatory liabilities.
Recommendation of Particular Types of Securities
We primarily recommend mutual funds, exchange traded funds, and equities; however, we may
recommend other types of investments as appropriate for you since each client has different
needs and a different tolerance for risk. Each type of security has its own unique set of risks
associated with it and it would not be possible to list here all of the specific risks of every type
23
of investment. Even within the same type of investment, risks can vary widely. However, in very
general terms, the higher the anticipated return of an investment, the higher the risk of loss
associated with it.
• Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds: Mutual funds and exchange traded funds
("ETF") are professionally managed collective investment systems that pool money from
many investors and invest in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments,
other mutual funds, other securities, or any combination thereof. The fund will have a
manager that trades the fund's investments in accordance with the fund's investment
objective. While mutual funds and ETFs generally provide diversification, risks can be
significantly increased if the fund is concentrated in a particular sector of the market,
primarily invests in small cap or speculative companies, uses leverage (i.e., borrows
money) to a significant degree, or concentrates in a particular type of security (i.e.,
equities) rather than balancing the fund with different types of securities. ETFs differ
from mutual funds since they can be bought and sold throughout the day like stock and
their price can fluctuate throughout the day. The returns on mutual funds and ETFs can
be reduced by the costs of managing the funds. Also, while some mutual funds are "no
load" and charge no fee to buy into, or sell out of, the fund, other types of mutual funds
do charge such fees which can also reduce returns. Mutual funds can also be "closed
end" or "open end". So-called "open end" mutual funds continue to allow in new
investors indefinitely whereas "closed end" funds have a fixed number of shares to sell
which can limit their availability to new investors.
ETFs may have tracking error risks. For example, the ETF investment adviser may not be
able to cause the ETF’s performance to match that of its Underlying Index or other
benchmark, which may negatively affect the ETF's performance. In addition, for
leveraged and inverse ETFs that seek to track the performance of their Underlying
Indices or benchmarks on a daily basis, mathematical compounding may prevent the
ETF from correlating with performance of its benchmark. In addition, an ETF may not
have investment exposure to all of the securities included in its Underlying Index, or its
weighting of investment exposure to such securities may vary from that of the
Underlying Index. Some ETFs may invest in securities or financial instruments that are
not included in the Underlying Index, but which are expected to yield similar
performance.
• Equities: There are numerous ways of measuring the risk of equity securities (also
known simply as "equities" or "stock"). In very broad terms, the value of a stock
depends on the financial health of the company issuing it. However, stock prices can be
affected by many other factors including, but not limited to, the class of stock (for
example, preferred or common); the health of the market sector of the issuing
company; and the overall health of the economy. In general, larger, more well-
established companies ("large cap") tend to be safer than smaller start-up companies
("small cap") but the mere size of an issuer is not, by itself, an indicator of the safety of
the investment.
24
Adviser Liability
With respect to the provision of investment advisory services that are within the scope of
services, as outlined in our Agreement with you, we will be held to the standard of conduct
imposed by the Advisers Act. We will not be liable for acts or omissions of other professionals
or third-party service providers, including but not limited to: a broker-dealer, custodian,
attorney, accountant, or insurance agent, except to the extent that such act and/or omission is
the direct result of our breach of fiduciary duty or negligence. A person who is not a party to an
executed Agreement with you has no rights to enforce any term of that Agreement and that
Agreement shall not be deemed to create any third-party beneficiary rights. If your account
contains only a portion of your total assets, we shall only be responsible for those assets that
you have designated to be the subject of our services under the Agreement. If we purchase
specific individual securities for your Account(s) at your direction, or you transfer into the
Account(s) securities you purchased prior to or independent of us or our advice, you shall
maintain responsibility for monitoring such securities. We shall not sell any such securities
without your prior direction to do so. You, and not us, are exclusively responsible for the
investment performance of any assets or accounts managed by other investment professionals
or maintained at custodians for which we do not have trading authority. You further
acknowledge and agree that we shall not be liable for any losses or charges incurred during the
transfer of the assets from your prior advisors, broker-dealers or account custodians. This
includes, but is not limited to, any losses or charges resulting from: (a) securities purchased by
your predecessor advisors; (b) the failure to be protected or benefit from any market-related
events, including market corrections or advances; or (c) any account transfer, closing or
administrative charges or fees imposed by the previous broker-dealer or account custodian.
Federal and state securities laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances, and therefore
nothing in the Agreement shall constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights you may expressly
have under any federal or state securities laws, including our fiduciary obligations that cannot
be limited or waived, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as amended
(“ERISA”), or under the rules promulgated by the Employee Benefits Security Administration or
the Department of Labor.
Types of Investments
We primarily offer advice on mutual funds, exchange traded funds, and equities.
Additionally, we may advise you on any type of investment that we deem appropriate based on
your stated goals and objectives. We may also provide advice on any type of investment held in
your portfolio at the inception of our advisory relationship.
25
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
We are required to disclose all pertinent facts regarding any legal, regulatory, or disciplinary
events that would be material to your evaluation of the Firm or the integrity of our
management.
We do not have any required disclosures under this item.
26
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Financial Industry Activities – Broker-Dealers
We are not registered as a broker-dealer. Two of our supervised persons are Registered
Representatives of a broker-dealer, Purshe Kaplan Sterling (PKS) member FINRA/SIPC, as
described below.
Financial Industry Activities – Futures and Commodities
Neither we nor any of our management persons are registered as (or associated with) a futures
commissions merchant, commodity pool operator, or a commodity trading advisor.
Broker-Dealer Registered Representatives
In addition to our investment advisory activities, we offer retail brokerage services through our
Registered Representatives who are affiliated with Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments (“PKS”).
Products may include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, 529 plans, retirement plans, and other
investments. We generally conduct our investment advisory activities separate and apart from
the advisory activities of PKS. Status Our position as a branch of PKS necessitates that PKS keeps
and maintains certain records and performs other compliance functions in relation to our
advisory activities. These obligations require PKS to coordinate with and have the cooperation
of certain custodians and/or broker-dealers. Accordingly, PKS has established a list of custodian
or brokerage firms in which our client assets may be placed, and our client custodial choices will
be limited to that list. IARs spend less than 10% of their time on Registered Representative
activities.
Insurance Company or Agency
We are a licensed insurance producer with the States of Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and
Connecticut. Our IARs may be appointed with several insurance companies and may be able to
receive separate compensation for transactions implemented through various insurance
companies. Clients are not obligated to use any company for insurance product purchases and
may work with any insurance agent they choose. Insurance compensation will be separate and
distinct from investment advisory and financial planning fees we charge.
Other Investment Advisors
We recommend or select other investment advisors for clients, see Item 4 above.
27
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics
Our employees must comply with a Code of Ethics and Statement for Insider Trading (the
“Code”). The Code describes our high standard of business conduct, and fiduciary duty to our
clients. The Code’s key provisions include:
• Statement of General Principles
• Policy on and reporting of Personal Securities Transactions
• A prohibition on Insider Trading
• Restrictions on the acceptance of significant gifts
• Procedures to detect and deter misconduct and violations
• Requirement to maintain confidentiality of client information
Our employees must acknowledge the terms of the Code at least annually, and any employee
not in compliance with the Code may be subject to termination. We will provide a copy of our
Code upon request.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions – Personal Securities Transactions
Both the Firm and our employees may buy or sell securities identical to those recommended to
clients for their personal accounts. The Code, described above, is designed to assure that the
personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees of the Firm will not
interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of 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, primarily mutual funds, have been designated as exempt
transactions, based upon a determination that these would materially not interfere with the
best interest of our clients. In addition, the Code requires pre-clearance of many transactions.
Nonetheless, because the Code in some circumstances would permit employees to invest in the
same securities as clients, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from market
activity by a client in a security held by an employee. The Firm may maintain a list of restricted
securities that employees may not purchase or sell based upon having (or possibly having)
access to inside information. Employee trading is continually monitored under the Code and
designed to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between the Firm and our clients.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Principal/Agency Cross Trades
We do not recommend any securities to our clients in which we have a material financial
interest. We do not affect any principal or agency cross securities transactions for client
accounts. We also do not cross trade between client accounts.
Personal Trading Practices
We or advisors associated with us may buy or sell securities for you at the same time we or our
associated persons buy or sell such securities for our own account. A conflict of interest exists
28
in such cases because we have the ability to trade ahead of you and potentially receive more
favorable prices than you will receive. To mitigate this conflict of interest, it is our policy that
we shall not have priority over your account in the purchase or sale of securities.
29
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
We do not receive formal soft dollar benefits other than execution from broker/dealers in
connection with client securities transactions. See disclosure below in “Brokerage – Other
Economic Benefits.”
Brokerage for Client Referrals
We do not receive client referrals from broker/dealers.
Client Directed Brokerage
While not routine, the client may direct us to use a particular broker dealer to execute some or
all transactions for the client. This brokerage direction must be requested by the client in
writing. In that case, the client will negotiate terms and arrangements for the account with that
broker-dealer, and we will not seek better execution services or prices from other broker-
dealers or be able to “batch” client transactions for execution through other broker-dealers
with orders for other accounts managed by us. By directing brokerage, the client may pay
higher commissions or other transaction costs or greater spreads, or receive less favorable net
prices, on transactions for the account than would otherwise be the case. Not all advisers
require or allow their clients to direct brokerage. Subject to our duty of best execution, we may
decline a client’s request to direct brokerage if, in our sole discretion, such directed brokerage
arrangements would result in additional operational difficulties.
If the client requests us to arrange for the execution of securities brokerage transactions for the
client’s account, we shall direct such transactions through broker-dealers that we reasonably
believe will provide best execution. We shall periodically and systematically review our policies
and procedures regarding recommending broker-dealers to our client considering our duty to
obtain best execution.
Directed Brokerage (Schwab)
We generally recommend Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a member FINRA/SIPC, an
independent and unaffiliated broker-dealer. Schwab provides us with access to its institutional
trading and custody services, which are typically not available to Schwab retail investors. These
services generally are available to independent investment advisors on an unsolicited basis and
are not otherwise contingent upon our commitment to Schwab for any specific amount of
business (assets in custody or trading). Schwab’s services include the execution of securities
transactions, custody, research, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are
otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or require a significantly higher
minimum initial investment.
For our client accounts maintained there, Schwab is compensated through commissions or
other transaction-related fees for securities trades that are executed through Schwab or that
settle into Schwab accounts. The brokerage commissions and/or transaction fees charged by
30
Schwab, or any other designated broker-dealer are exclusive of and in addition to our fees.
Directed Brokerage – Other Economic Benefits (Schwab)
We may receive from Schwab, at no cost to us, professional services, computer software and
related systems support, enabling us to better monitor client accounts maintained at Schwab.
We may receive this support without cost because of the portfolio management services
rendered to clients that maintain assets at Schwab. The support provided may benefit us, but
not our clients directly. In fulfilling our duties to our clients, we always endeavor to put the
interests of our clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that our receipt of economic
benefits from a broker-dealer may create a conflict of interest since these benefits may
influence our choice of broker-dealer over another broker-dealer that does not furnish similar
services, software, and systems support.
Schwab also makes available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not
directly benefit our clients’ accounts. Many of these products and services may be used to
service all or some substantial number of our accounts, including accounts not maintained at
Schwab.
Schwab’s products and services that assist us in managing and administering clients’ accounts
include software and other technology that (i) provide access to client account data (such as
trade confirmations and account statements); (ii) facilitate trade execution and allocate
aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts; (iii) provide research, pricing and other
market data; (iv) facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts; and (v) assist with
back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting.
Trade Aggregation
We do not aggregate or execute block trades. Trade aggregation is the act of trading a large
block of a security in a single order. Shares of a purchased security are then allocated to the
appropriate accounts in the appropriate proportion. The main purposes of order aggregation
are (i) for ease of trading and (ii) to obtain a lower transaction cost associated with trading a
larger quantity.
As a result, clients purchasing securities around the same time may receive a less favorable
price than other clients. In addition, not aggregating trades may result in higher transaction
costs, as a client will not benefit from lower transaction costs which might be achieved if the
trade was aggregated.
Trade Errors
Our trade error policy is as follows:
For accounts maintained at Schwab Institutional, if an investment gain results from the
correcting trade, the gain will remain in the client’s account unless the same error involved
other client account(s) that should have received the gain, or, if it is not permissible for the
31
client to retain the gain, or the Firm confers with the client and the client decides to forego the
gain (e.g., due to tax reasons).
If the gain does not remain in the client’s account, Schwab will donate the amount of any gain
$100 and over to charity.
If the gain is under $100, Schwab will maintain the gain (if such gain is not retained in the
client's account) to offset its administrative time and expense. If a loss occurs as a result of a
trade error, the Firm will pay for the loss. Generally, if related trade errors result in both gains
and losses in a client's account they may be netted.
32
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Custom Accounts and SEI Accounts
All the advisors at the Firm are members of the Investment Committee and collectively will
monitor your Custom Accounts, and SEI Accounts on a continuous basis. Additionally, we offer
account reviews to clients at least annually. Additional reviews may be conducted based on
various circumstances, including, but not limited to:
• contributions and withdrawals,
• year-end tax planning,
• market moving events,
• security specific events, and/or,
• changes in your risk/return objectives.
We will provide Custom Accounts with a quarterly performance report. We will also, at your
specific request, provide you with annual tax reports. You will receive trade confirmations and
monthly or quarterly statements from your account custodian(s).
529 Accounts
All the advisors at the Firm will conduct a review of 529 accounts under their supervision on at
least an annual basis. You will receive trade confirmations and monthly or quarterly statements
from your account custodian(s).
401K Plan Accounts
We offer and provide 401(k) Plan Sponsors with the opportunity to review reports detailing the
performance of the Plan’s fund investments on at least an annual basis.
Financial Planning
We will provide, upon your request and for no additional charge, a review and update to a
financial plan if you have engaged us for implementation services. If you have only engaged us
for financial planning services, we will provide a review and update to the plan upon your
request and for an additional fee.

Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Please refer to the Brokerage Practices section above for disclosures on research and other
benefits we may receive resulting from our relationship with Schwab and SEI.
Compensation – Client Referrals
We have been fortunate to receive many client referrals over the years. The referrals came
from current clients, estate planning attorneys, accountants, employees, personal friends of
employees, and other similar sources. We do not compensate referring parties for these
referrals.
34
Item 15: Custody
Custody – Fee Debiting
Clients may authorize us (in the client agreement) to debit fees directly from their account at
the broker dealer, bank, or other qualified custodian (“custodian”). The custodian is advised in
writing of the limitation of our access to the account. The custodian sends a statement to the
client, at least quarterly, indicating all amounts disbursed from the account including the
amount of advisory fees paid directly to the Firm.
Custody – Account Statements
Clients receive at least quarterly statements from the custodian that holds and maintains
client’s investment assets. Clients are urged to carefully review such statements and compare
such official custodial records to the reports that we provide. Our reports may vary from
custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation
methodologies of certain securities.
35
Item 16: Investment Discretion
We may accept limited power of attorney to act on a discretionary basis on behalf of clients. A
limited power of attorney allows us to execute trades on behalf of clients. When such limited
powers exist between the Firm and the client, we have the authority to determine, without
obtaining specific client consent, both the amount and type of securities to be bought to satisfy
client account objectives.
If we have not been given discretionary authority, we consult with the client prior to each
trade.
36
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Proxy Voting
We do not have any authority to and do not vote proxies on behalf of clients, nor do we make
any express or implied recommendation with respect to voting proxies. Clients retain the sole
responsibility for receiving and voting proxies that they receive directly from either their
custodian or transfer agents. Clients may contact us for information about proxy voting.
37
Item 18: Financial Information
We are not required to provide financial information to our clients because we do not:
•
require the prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees and six or more months in advance,
or take custody of client funds or securities, or
• have a financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet our
commitments to you.
We have never filed a bankruptcy petition.
