5 It takes meaningful dialogue, not just a series of check boxes, to develop individualized strategies and efficient solutions. Lynette Blakeway has more than 40 years of wealth management experience. It takes time and patience to bring your financial vision into focus, but it s time well spent. At our first substantial meeting together, we create a snapshot of where you are in your life. We find out where you want to be. We probe. We listen. What s important to you? Are your expectations realistic in view of changing family or professional circumstances, or as investment markets fluctuate? Will you have reliable income to sustain your lifestyle in retirement? What about your children and their futures? Are elderly parents in the picture? Are testamentary wills yours and your spouse s up to date? See an attorney. Will your family be taken care of if you were to die unexpectedly? Helping you find the answers is what our relationship with you is all about. We ask key questions to develop a meaningful understanding of you. And we help you identify the things you most passionately want to achieve or avoid. That s an important part of our process.

12 Investing involves risk. There is always the potential of losing money when you invest in securities. Asset allocation, diversification and rebalancing do not ensure a profit or protect against a loss in declining markets. Merrill Lynch offers a broad range of brokerage, investment advisory (including financial planning) and other services. There are important differences between brokerage and investment advisory services, including the type of advice and assistance provided, the fees charged, and the rights and obligations of the parties. It is important to understand the differences, particularly when determining a service or services to select.
