Client Risk Profile Assessment
In order to determine the right amount of risk a client’s asset allocation
Conservative can accept to meet their objectives, we make the time to listen.
Our discussions lead us to an agreement on the levels and types of risk
that are appropriate for a given client’s situation.
Each client’s portfolio is custom designed and assessing risk tolerance is
paramount to the investment process.
Moderate Conduct Cash Flow Analysis
Generating the cash flow to meet their lifestyle requirements allows our
clients to weather difficult investment climates.
We model cash sources and uses to ensure that assets are positioned to
meet any forecasted need.

35. Research
Equities
We evaluate hundreds of investment managers annually to focus only on
the select few that meet our criteria of attractive risk adjusted rates of
return, timeliness, and a focus on wealth preservation.
Our research team utilizes sophisticated software analysis to help find and
evaluate investment managers that meet multiple screening criteria. (left)
Fixed Income
Bonds are often an integral part of investment plans, particularly where
wealth preservation is a primary goal.
CWA is not captive to any one trading desk. As such, we are able to
search for bonds from multiple dealers to make the best selections for
our clients.
Alternatives
The risk/return and often non-correlated characteristics of alternative
investments can make them attractive additions to traditionally positioned
portfolios.
We may seek attractive investment opportunities among hedge funds, real
estate, and private equity offerings depending on market conditions.

36. Reporting
Personal Financial Reports
Wealth management is a dynamic as well as a visual process. Good decisions begin with accurate and
complete information and a logical way in which to view it.
We provide clients with regular, comprehensive and useful views of their finances.
Performance Reporting
CWA has created a proprietary report that provides clients a comprehensive performance evaluation of their
portfolios delivered with performance benchmarking quarterly.

firms had moved away from a truly client focused culture with the flexibility and
independent thinking required to address the complex needs of wealthy families.
• We are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as both a
Registered Investment Advisor and a Broker-Dealer.
