Deterministic Model

Asset Protection

Charitable Planning

Investment Policy Statement

What is an "Investment Policy Statement?"

"...(IPS) Written policies are instruments routinely used for institutional clients.

I believe the same policies should be written for individual accounts.

An IPS is a road-map that defines objectives, the expected returns over time, the variability of those returns, time horizons, asset allocation percentages and limitations imposed on investment managers.   It also defines the monitoring process and the benchmarks for gauging success or deviation from objectives.

These are working documents that can change over time, just as a client's needs, objectives and economic conditions change over time..."

Managed Asset Program

A Comprehensive Approach

A Managed Asset Program is similar to traditional Portfolio Management, but does differ in scope. The Client has access to additional Advisor’s services, which may include not only Portfolio Management with Discretionary Authority, but also Non-Discretionary Authority in monitoring and reporting of the performance of certain investments outside of assets normally held at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.

In this capacity, the Advisor may recommend changes, provide the Client with reports or other information, and periodically review the suitability of the investment(s) for the Client in these outside accounts. Except as otherwise instructed by the Client, custodian will provide the Client a list of all assets held in the Account, asset values, and all transactions affecting the Account assets, including any additions or withdrawals at least quarterly.

Ongoing Financial Planning

Under the Managed Asset Program the Client also has the availability of financial planning at no additional charge. These services include:

    •   Asset Allocation encompassing all Client Assets
    •   Periodic Retirement Planning Analysis
    •   Tax Planning & Stock Options
    •   Real Estate Issues
    •   Cash Flow Planning
    •   College Planning
    •   Insurance Planning
    •   Estate Planning Issues
    •   Liability Planning

Holistic Approach

The total effect of the Managed Asset Program is to apply a structured portfolio for ‘total assets’ to achieve long term objectives. This effect provides for lower expenses using passive investments, if available, diversification across many different accounts and a better handle on the total assets and liabilities of the client. This holistic approach coordinates the Client’s total assets and liabilities towards their goals and objectives.
