We can coordinate with them your investment management needs. <br /> <br /> Please see Revelation Financial Planning registered investment advisor compliance information under sections 1 and 4 of <a href="Completed ADV Part IIupdated21607.pdf"> ADV Part II</a> about our approach. </li> </ul> </ul> <div> &nbsp; <div class="prevPage"><a href="custom_solutions.htm">&lt;&lt; Previous</a></div> <div class="nextPage"><a href="forms.htm">Next &gt;&gt;</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="navbar"> <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="about_menu.htm">ABOUT US</a> <ul> <li><a href="what_we_do.htm">What&nbsp;We&nbsp;Do</a></li> <li><a href="who_we_are.htm">Who&nbsp;We&nbsp;Are</a></li> <li><a href="current_ADV.htm">Current&nbsp;ADV</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="services_menu.htm">SERVICES</a> <ul> <li><a href="comprehensive_financial_planning.htm">Comprehensive&nbsp;Financial&nbsp;Planning</a></li> <li><a href="segmented.htm">Segmented&nbsp;(Goal&nbsp;Specific)</a></li> <li><a href="second_option.htm">Second&nbsp;Opinion</a></li> <li><a href="custom_solutions.htm">Custom&nbsp;Solutions</a></li> <li><a href="training.htm">Training&nbsp;on&nbsp;investing&nbsp;and&nbsp;cash&nbsp;flow</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="resources_menu.htm">RESOURCES</a> <ul> <li><a href="forms.htm">Forms</a></li> <li><a href="articles.htm">What's New/Articles</a></li> <li><a href="http://revelationfp.blogspot.com/">Comments</a></li> <li><a href="recommended_reading.htm">Recommended&nbsp;Reading</a></li> <li><a href="sitesandcalculators.htm">Websites&nbsp;and&nbsp;Calculators</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="mailto:info@revelationfp.com">email us</a> <ul> <li><a href="mailto:info@revelationfp.com">info@revelationfp.com</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <div id="fpalogo"> <img alt="Member of the Financial Planning Association" src="images/FPALogo.gif" /> </div> </div> <div id="rightbar"> </div> <div id="footer-wrapper"> <div id="footer"> Tested on <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/ie/">IE 6.0 SP2</a>, <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/">Firefox 1.5.0.1</a> </div> </div> </body> </html>
