BLRS offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals, objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client.

Investment supervisory services include, but are not limited to, investment strategy, personal investment plan, asset allocation, asset selection, risk tolerance and regular portfolio monitoring. BLRS evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance levels and time horizon. BLRS does not have discretion over client accounts and clients make the ultimate decision whether to purchase or sell an investment which are generally limited to mutual funds. Generally, the minimum opening account is $250,000. Financial plans and financial planning may include, but are not limited to: investment planning, life insurance; tax concerns; retirement planning; college planning; and debt/credit planning.

Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my investments. If I give you $10,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs, and how much will be invested for me?
When we act as your investment adviser, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the investment advice we provide you. Here are some examples to help you understand what this means. BLRS has an incentive to increase the assets in your account as a larger account will result in larger investment management fees to BLRS.
How might your conflicts of interest affect me, and how will you address them?
