Fee-Based Approach
Fee-based asset management allows you and your financial advisor to share a common goal –
to grow the value of your assets. Instead of commissions based solely on transactions, you have
the option of paying an annual fee that includes advisory services and execution of transactions,
or paying an annual advisory fee plus a transaction fee for each transaction separately.*
An integral piece of the process is developing a personalized strategy with your financial advisor
that you feel comfortable with. You will build a blueprint through one-on-one, in-depth,
thought-ful conversations, supplemented with tools such as risk tolerance questionnaires, discussions of
your financial objectives, and an extensive review of those objectives. This blueprint will serve
as a guide to assist you in creating your recommended portfolio in order to help you reach
your objectives. In addition, you can trust that the appropriate adjustments to your strategy and
portfolio will be made based on your discussions with your financial advisor about your:

The Case for Diversification
**
Diversification involves incorporating different investment styles such as large-cap growth,
small-cap growth, international securities and even exposure to bonds into your portfolio.
The goal of diversification is to mitigate the risk associated with holding a single type of
security in your portfolio. Diversification adds “balance” to your portfolio, since investment
styles act differently depending on market conditions.
Simplicity
One account, one fee, one statement. WMS makes it easy for you to review your account
as you will receive a quarterly performance report that will keep you informed on how your
investments are performing. You’ll also meet with your financial advisor who will help you
stay on track. It’s a partnership and a strategic solution personalized to your needs.
