Business Description
AAS provides investment advisory services to clients who invest in Wrap Fee Programs offered by AIP. AAS shares the fees generated through these programs with AAS and uses AIC as the introducing broker dealer for execution of transactions. AAS has an incentive and conflict of interest in recommending the programs of AIP over other investment advisers due to the revenue AIC receives as a broker dealer for execution of transactions, fees AAS receives for assets placed in these programs, and common ownership by their parent company. AAS does not require its IARs to utilize the services of AIP and makes multiple advisory programs available such that the IAR may select the program that is most suitable for an individual client.
AIP offers other asset management services for larger accounts who are not interested in a Wrap Fee Program. These arrangements would be structured more like those described in the Institutional Account sections where AIC generally is not used as a broker. In recommending participation in a Wrap Fee Program, AAS, through its IARs, is recommending itself as broker. If a client chooses to implement securities transactions through one of these Programs, a conflict of interest exists since AAS and its associates might receive commissions or other compensation. A client is under no obligation to open a Wrap Fee Program Account and use AIC as their broker.
Investment Strategy
AIP employs various methods of investment analysis, primarily focusing on fundamental and technical analysis of data. They also consider charts, cyclical data, trend and statistical analysis, and utilize a variety of electronic databases and communication with company management. AIP seeks to identify investments that align with clients' investment objectives within established policies, restrictions, and limitations.
AIP provides quarterly performance evaluation reports using a time-weighted methodology programmed into their portfolio administration system. These reports compare portfolio performance to a customized benchmark and its components, informing clients about their investment performance over the current period and the long term.
