During this time our focus and commitment have remained unchanged to provide a highly personalized service dedicated to maintaining and improving our clients' financial well-being. We presently manage over $900 million in client assets, consisting of individual accounts ranging from several hundred thousand to tens of millions of dollars. We accept new clients having minimum total investable assets of $1,000,000.

Our firm serves individual investors and family groups as well as the trustees of endowment, estate and charitable funds.

Our team of investment professionals provides our clients with a deep pool of expertise based on the many years of experience and education we believe is necessary to achieve our client's goals. Together with our knowledgeable support staff, we are able to provide a high level of personalized service to each of our clients.

The measure of our firm's success over the years has been twofold. First, we use strategies

designed to protect capital and preserve its true purchasing power. Second, through the

continuity of our personnel and commitment to service, we have built long- term client

relationships based on confidence and trust which, in many cases, span decades

and several generations.
