Comprehensive Investment Consulting

The Firm provides comprehensive investment consulting services on a non-discretionary basis to assist each client in reaching its own investment decisions. While the Firm does make investment recommendations, clients retain all authority and discretion over investment decisions. Clients also retain full responsibility for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of all documents and communications they submit to investment managers and other service providers and authority to direct the transfer or movement of assets within their accounts. Clients are responsible for informing us of any changes in information in the clients circumstances that may affect the services we provide.

Outsourced Investment Solutions

Prime Buchholzs flexible Outsourced Investment Solutions can be tailored to meet a clients oversight/decision making needs. Functioning as an outsourced investment staff, Prime Buchholz streamlines the investment decision-making and implementation processes to reduce the burden on our clients. Our Outsourced Investment Solutions are available on either a discretionary or non-discretionary basis. Our clients objectives are paramount and we seek to fully understand each clients full financial picture in an effort to meaningfully develop a top-tier investment program.

Performance Reporting and Portfolio Analytics

Prime Buchholz offers performance monitoring and reporting and portfolio analytic services to clients through PrimePlus, our proprietary online platform. Access to PrimePlus is generally included in the Comprehensive Investment Consulting and Outsourced Investment Solutions services provided to clients and can be purchased separately by institutional, pension, and family office clients seeking solely performance monitoring and reporting and portfolio analytics services either directly from Prime Buchholz or through distribution partners.

Other customized services are mutually agreed upon by Prime Buchholz and the client in the investment advisory agreement and, in some instances, Prime Buchholz also provides performance reporting only services to clients. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain types of investments. Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a broker-dealer or insurance company. Prime Buchholz generally provides investment recommendations and/or management to its clients with respect to products managed by other investment managers. Recommendations and management of assets may relate to and include investments in mutual funds, hedge funds, private equity vehicles, commingled trusts, separate accounts, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and interests in partnerships that invest in real estate, gas, oil, and other commodities. At times, we may also invest client assets in U.S. Treasury bonds when directed to do so.

Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only be implemented/recommended when consistent with the clients stated investment objectives, tolerance for risk, liquidity needs, and suitability.

Since Prime Buchholz clients assets under advisement are primarily invested with other investment managers, clients should refer to the selected investment managers firm brochure or other disclosure document for a full description of the services offered. If a clients assets are invested with an investment manager in a separate account, we provide the selected manager(s) with the clients Investment Policy Statement (IPS) or guidelines. The manager(s) creates and manages the clients portfolio based on the clients individual needs as defined in the IPS or guidelines. Prime Buchholz monitors the managers compliance with the clients investment guidelines.

We have established practice areas designed to share best practices, implementation strategies, and current trends to better serve our clients. Our practice areas focus on the needs of distinct client groups including, but not limited to, educational, community foundation, private foundation, private wealth, healthcare and insurance, mission-aligned investing, and retirement plan clients.

We also partner with clients to align their investment programs with their missions. We work with these clients to, among other things, provide organizational and donor education, recommend mission-aligned strategies across asset classes, create investment policy statements that incorporate their missions and philosophies, develop socially responsible guidelines, quantify portfolio exposure to products or industries, set priorities for implementation, and create monitoring tools to track progress toward meeting mission-aligned goals.
