Here are two of the three front page versions (all in a matter of 4 days lol). I have them saved.

Version number one


Whether it relates to investment planning, insurance planning, retirement planning, tax planning, or estate planning, it is our first principle that simpler plans are, more often than not, the more efficient.

Fairchild Holdings & Advisory Firm do believe in market timing. We believe that investors make money by participating in the markets, not by trying to outguess them.

Our Firm subscribes to what is known as the "efficient market hypothesis" which leads to the conclusion, also confirmed by overwhelming evidence, that neither laymen investors nor professional money managers, no matter how smart they are, how much they are paid, or how hard they try, can make determinations, on any absolute scale, as to whether a security is under priced or over priced with a reliability greater than that of random chance. Our earnings depend on your success. We use a methodology that selects investments based upon a criterion personally overseen by our firm and its network of analysts.

We do believe, however, that useful judgments can be made concerning the fundamentals of an underlying company which can, in turn, lead to useful judgments about the company's outlook for future growth, and so the prospects for its common stock. Additionally, we believe that useful judgments can be made about the price level of a common stock or Regulation D stock relative to a client's tolerance for risk.

We sometimes think we can better communicate the kinds of investments we encourage by listing the investments we do not encourage. In particular, we do not encourage investments in mutual funds, managed accounts, initial public offerings, real estate investment trusts, foreign stocks, limited partnerships, options, commodities, deferred annuities, cash value life insurance, convertible bonds, long-term bonds, utility stocks, or any of the myriad of "special products" that financial institutions create for their clients.

In a more positive vein, for most investors, we advocate what we call a "barbell" approach to portfolio design. We suggest a balance between two classes of investments, depending upon the client's tolerance for volatility. One class of investments is simply cash - in the form of U. S. Treasury bills, bank CDs, or a money market account. The other class consists of a broadly diversified list of the common stocks of high-quality, growth companies. Somewhere on the spectrum between 50% cash, 30% common stocks and 20% in small cap stocks. Back in 1957 Fairchild Semi Conductor Company, Micro Soft, British Petroleum and Google started as a small cap Companies. There is usually an asset allocation that can be appropriately tailored to suit each individual investor.

We also work with a universe of common stocks which we classify as "aggressive" growth companies, as opposed to "high-quality" growth companies, which we make available to our more venturesome clients.


Version number three

A Letter from the President

Welcome to our website,

The Fairchild family has been active in the worldwide financial markets for over 50 years. Back in the early 50's, my grandfather, Prinston Fairchild, opened his first financial analyst firm in the United States. He represented early stage publicly traded small-cap companies that at the time were shunned by Wall Street. His firm primarily provided industry research reports, equity evaluations, financial viability reports and scenario analysis reports.

In late 1957, my father, Forbes Fairchild started a private independent financial research firm called Fairchild Holdings & Advisory Firm (FHAF), initially based in Chicago and later moved to New York. He contracted with various Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA's) to provide due-diligence services on companies FHAF and its private clients invested in. My father believed in investing money with professionals to ensure all of the information provided on companies where verified, true and correct and signed off by a licensed entity.

Over the last 50 years, FHAF has evolved in to a private international investment firm, with a portfolio in excess of $2.6 billion dollars. FHAF is part of a global network of some of the leading international banks and financial institutions in the world.

In 2008, at the age of 81, my father, Mr. Forbes Fairchild is retiring and a 3rd generation Fairchild, namely, yours truly, will be carrying on a long legacy of family success.

During the better part of 2007 our analysts have been researching Fundacion Pan America (FPA) and the PDR Exchange. After a thorough due-diligence on the liquid and fixed assets of FPA had been completed, FHAF agreed to provide management services for the PDR Exchange and represent the assets of FPA.

It has been determined by our analyst that participating in the economic development of Latin America with FPA will serve the better interests of our clients and FHAF.

Through the years, FHAF has participated financially with developing countries around the world and this has proven to be a safe and profitable strategy for the clients we serve and FHAF.

At this time, our offices are moving to Central America. With our legal and banking providers located there and several large scale construction projects and real estate developments in process within Central and South America, we have made a decision to relocate our offices to Panama and Costa Rica.

A tremendous effort on the part of FHAF and FPA is under way. A solid plan moving forward has been initiated and the face of the current organization will be measurably different very soon.

Please visit our site regularly for updates and new developments.

Sincerely,

David P. Fairchild
