CONSERVATIVE FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS IS PROUD

TO INVITE YOU AND YOUR GUEST(S) TO ATTEND

OUR CLIENT EDUCATION FORUM

One of the principle goals at CFS is to achieve the desired

rate of return, while having as little risk as possible. This

has been part of our vision from day one. Even though,

the vision hasn’t changed, the way we work to achieve this

desired rate of return is forever evolving

due to different financial climates.

In this newsletter we have dedicated

a section to Global Financial Private

Capital (GFPC). GFPC has developed

a strategic plan resulting in a clear

vision for staying ahead of future

financial curves. In developing this vision, it is even more

important to make sure that we are aligned with the most

experienced in the industry —not only to ensure stability—

but to continue to grow to the next level. GFPC’s plan

includes strengthening their management team, making

additions to their Board of Directors, and continuing to

have talented Money Managers, Chris Bertelsen and Mike

Sorrentino on their team. This has taken place, and many of

our clients received a letter about this addition in late July.

fiduciaries, and will continue to put our clients’

interest first.

fiduciary ruling that was signed into law this May by

President Obama. This ruling focuses primarily on advisors

and their fiduciary responsibility. This fiduciary standard

requires that a financial advisor act solely in the client’s

best interest when offering personalized financial advice.

Rest assured, at CFS we have always worked as fiduciaries,

and will continue to put our clients’ interest first. This rule

isn’t a change for us at CFS. However, there are other

sections of this rule in which it is hard to predict all of the

regulatory changes that will stem from it. I will continue

to work closely with GFPC, our Investment Advisors, in

upholding the highest standards for CFS and our clients.

In conclusion, as we are living through one of the most

interesting financial climates, we will continue to keep

you informed. With the election for the President of

the United States, you can be sure that we will see yet

another financial climate shift. I cannot stress enough

the importance of diversification, staying with the plan

and not bringing emotions into investment decisions. As

Mike Sorrentino, Chief Strategist at GFPC stated, “Keep in

mind that any market reaction to the winner in November,

whether good or bad, will be short lived because emotions

don’t fuel economies.“ Until next issue, we will continue to

keep you up to date with weekly emails.

CFS would like to thank all of our Client Families who

joined us at our 7th Annual Client Appreciation Event

at Stricker’s Grove! Smiles and giggles were everywhere

as over 1,200 individuals came out to the action-packed

Stricker’s Grove Amusement Park. This annual event is

the Ford family way of giving back to the community

while thanking clients and helping them to create lasting

memories with their children and grandchildren.

Again this year, CFS partnered with Christ’s Loving Hands,

a local charity which partners with churches, businesses,

and community agencies to make a difference in the

Harrison community. CFS Clients and their families were

asked to consider those in need by filling Roger’s truck

with non-perishable food and supplies and/or purchasing

tickets to win a prize basket for this worthy organization.

This year, local business partners including Harrison Tax

Advisors, Darren R. Bowman, CPA, Circling Hills, Market

Street Grille, The Coffee Peddler, Abra Auto Body & Glass,

and Kreimer’s Bier Haus also contributed to the baskets.

In total, 2 truckloads of nonperishable items were delivered

to Christ’s Loving Hands and a check for $4,200, bringing

the grand total over the past few years to over $12,000 and

8 truckloads.

The Ford family truly enjoyed sponsoring this event which

highlights their deep appreciation for their community and

cherished clients. They hope everyone had a remarkable

evening with their families.

7th Annual Client Appreciation Event at Stricker’s Grove.

This spring, Conservative Financial Solutions shared “Flat Roger”. Since

one of Roger’s passions is travel, and we know a lot of our clients

share this passion with him, it was a perfect fit! To date, many of our

clients have been traveling and have taken Flat Roger with them.

Each month, we have been featuring the Flat Roger travel

stories submitted by our clients in our weekly emails, on our

Facebook page, and in the

office. The response to

the Flat Roger travels has

been fantastic!

We have heard from

many of our client families and their travels with

Flat Roger, and we know Flat Roger is traveling

as you read this newsletter! If you would like a

“Flat Roger” packet, email us at [email protected],

and we’ll send you all the specifics in the mail.

Happy Travels!

Cincinnati Reds GameOn Friday, July 22nd, a great evening was had by all who attended the CFS Client

Referral Event at the Great American Ballpark! It was a fun time cheering on the

Cincinnati Reds from our suite on the 3rd baseline. This event is Roger and the CFS

team’s way of saying “thanks” to those who shared the value of our business with

others who became a qualified client of CFS. It was a great time being together on

such a beautiful night at the ballpark!

We invite you to join us next summer at the ballpark! Invitations are mailed to those

who share the value of CFS to an individual who becomes a qualified client from May

2016 - April 2017.

In July, Sue

Martinovich,

Account

Specialist, was

recognized by

Global Financial Private Capital as the

Assistant of the Quarter!
