Part II. MATERIAL INFORMATION
RELATIVE TO THE PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP:
A. Basic Philosophy of the
CFP Designee in Working With Clients:
My approach to personal financial
planning is to obtain from our clients significant financial and
other information including your attitudes, goals, and objectives;
to analyze the information obtained in order to develop alternatives
for your consideration; to educate our clients about the implications
of selecting a particular alternative; to implement the alternative
selected by the client; and to periodically update the plan adopted.
It is my goal to become your chief financial adviser and to coordinate
the efforts of your other advisers in your best interests. I want
you to be educated about your own financial affairs and to take
an active role in managing them.

B. Philosophy, Theory and/or
Principles of Financial Planning Which Will be Utilized:
My philosophy of financial planning
is to gather adequate reliable information about a client's personal
financial situation; to determine the client's goals and objectives,
time horizon, and risk tolerance; to analyze all of the foregoing
information in an objective manner and to develop recommendations
for our clients based upon this thorough analysis and in the interest
of rendering disinterested advice. In a personal financial planning
engagement, I endeavor to consistently act in the interest of my
client and to place his or her interest ahead my own. Moreover,
I believe that a client should be both informed and proactively
involved in his or her personal financial affairs.
