PAM ACCOUNT — GROWTH PORTFOLIO
In this type of fee-based Premier Asset Management (PAM) account, Puplava Financial Services, Inc. (PFS), in its capacity as a Registered Investment Advisor, and its investment advisor representatives (IARs) direct and manage specified client assets according to their research, investment style and management philosophy.
Primary emphasis on achieving long-term growth and capital appreciation; generally little focus on generation of current income. Focus on moderate to aggressive equities and/or moderate to aggressive fixed-income instruments. Low to high exposure to interest rate risk; moderate to extremely high exposure to market risk. Exposure to foreign risk and/or currency risk highly likely.

This portfolio is likely to contain "penny stocks," which involve unique risks.
TIME HORIZON
Because we adhere to value investing, we believe two years is an appropriate period of time to allow us to build the portfolio mix and produce investment returns. Managed accounts terminated by the investor prior to the two-year mark will be subject to the penalty fee outlined in the management agreement governing the account.
Investors in the Premier Asset Management Growth Account, in particular, should be investors comfortable with a three- to five-year time horizon.
MAINTAINING INVESTMENT MINIMUM
Investment minimums apply primarily to the level of assets required to open a new account. As assets in the account fluctuate in price, investors are not required to add funds to maintain the minimum. However, should withdrawals from the managed account take the account balance significantly below the minimum, we may request that the managed account be closed and its assets be moved to a commission-based Standard Brokerage account.
