Discretionary Investment Portfolio Management

Discretionary portfolio management is an arrangement in which you authorize an investment adviser to make portfolio decisions on your behalf within an agreed investment strategy. The adviser may select, buy, sell, and adjust investments without requesting approval for every transaction. The management approach should still reflect your objectives, risk considerations, account circumstances, and ongoing communication preferences.

With discretionary management, the adviser has authority to make investment decisions and implement portfolio changes within the agreed mandate. With non-discretionary management, the adviser provides recommendations, but you approve each investment decision before it is executed. Discretionary management can provide more responsive ongoing oversight, while non-discretionary management keeps transaction approval directly with the client.

Lewis & Associates Capital Advisors, LLC provides individual securities advisory focused on stocks and bonds. Portfolio construction may also involve allocation planning and other investment selections appropriate to the agreed strategy. The specific investments used depend on your objectives, account circumstances, risk considerations, and the adviser’s research. Investments involve risk, including the possible loss of principal.

The firm describes a risk-management approach that includes sector rotation, macro-aware positioning, technical overlays, disciplined trading, and ongoing portfolio monitoring. Its stated investment-management services also include reviewing performance, recommending changes, and adjusting strategies as client circumstances evolve. These methods do not eliminate investment risk or assure that a strategy will achieve its objectives.

The service catalog states that advisory clients are charged a monthly fee for assets under management. Specific pricing is not provided in the available service information, so the applicable fee structure should be reviewed with the adviser before engaging. The firm also notes that insurance products pay a commission, which may create a compensation conflict for those activities.

Discretionary management may suit individuals, families, trusts, and organizations that want professional oversight of accumulated assets and do not want to direct every portfolio transaction. It can also be relevant to hands-on investors seeking researched individual stocks and bonds, or to clients who want investment decisions connected to broader retirement and wealth-planning priorities.

Portfolio management includes monitoring the portfolio, measuring performance, managing risk, reviewing results, and recommending changes or revisions to the strategy. The available information does not specify a fixed review schedule. Review frequency and communication expectations should therefore be established as part of the advisory relationship and adjusted when objectives, financial circumstances, or market conditions change.
