Alexander Read Investment Management, Inc. is an independent and privately owned investment advisor providing specialized investment management services to high net worth individuals and institutions. We do not use model portfolios, but instead develop thoughtful, customized financial programs suited to the specific needs of each client.

Founded in 1997. With over 50 years of combined experience, each member of Alexander Read Investment Management, Inc. strives to provide its clients with the very best investment management at the highest level of service, trust and enthusiasm.

The Company's current investment methodology is based on four premises:

1. There are various restraining forces which will keep the market in a sideways pattern for the foreseeable future.
• Demand for equity investments will decline as retiring baby boomers pull assets from 401(k) and move to income producing assets.
• Rising interest rates will make other asset classes more attractive.
2. While there is a bear market in equities, a continued strong bull market in commodities is predicted as Asia maintains high GDP growth equating to strong demand for energy and materials.
3. Although there will certainly be another long term equity bull market in the future, we believe a buy and hold approach is not a strategy that will generate laudable returns in the current environment.
4. Using the sideways market of 1966 - 1981 as a model, a sideways trending market could persist for another decade.
