4.A. ADVISORY FIRM DESCRIPTION
Integrity is a Registered Investment Advisor and consulting practice founded in 2004. Kristofer R.
Gray is the Principal and 100% owner. Integrity provides financial planning, asset management,
retirement plan consulting, and investment advice to individuals, high net worth individuals, business
owners and corporate pension and profit-sharing plans. Our service lines include wealth management,
business financial planning, and legacy planning. Integrity’s primary investment focus is asset
allocation, with the unique needs of each client being met through custom-tailored investment advice
and financial planning solutions.
4.B. TYPES OF ADVISORY SERVICES
Wealth Management
Wealth management services are provided in the context of several different offerings: the first is the
standard wealth management, which is a boutique, high-service level package.
At the core, the company’s wealth management services include a portfolio of index and/or actively
managed instruments (funds and exchange-traded funds) across a range of asset classes to create a
low-cost, tax-efficient macro-diversified portfolio managed in line with client goals and risk tolerance.
Portfolios are rebalanced to maintain the target asset allocation and impose discipline with regard to
buying and selling of securities. In addition to an investment portfolio, alternative investment
strategies may be implemented to complement core holdings to create a holistic approach to asset
management and assist in meeting longer-term financial planning goals.
In addition to the core strategies provided, Integrity assists clients with the implementation of
alternative investment strategies when Accredited Investor, Qualified Client and Qualified Purchaser
definitions are met. These strategies include but are not limited to investments in fund of funds and
direct private equity, private credit, and private real estate investment trusts. These strategies are
applied to a portion of the portfolio managed toward longer-term trends and economic views where
all factors of the client’s suitability and liquidity have been met. In some instances, Integrity
recommends investment in a private investment fund.
Family Office / Investment Consulting
Integrity provides investment consulting services to family office clients. Our approach to investment
consulting emphasizes risk management and assisting our clients in identifying their investment
objectives and designing risk-managed strategies that seek to achieve these objectives. The steps in
our investment consulting process include:
• Identification of client goals and cash needs
• Identification of risks to goal-attainment
• Adoption of a written Investment Policy Statement
• Design of asset allocation and other investment strategies, guidelines and policies
• Selection of risk and performance benchmarks for ongoing monitoring
• Recommendation of investment managers or funds
• Ongoing monitoring of risk management and performance
Our investment consulting clients often have multiple investment pools, each of which has its own
goals and needs. Examples are capital reserves, endowment funds, and pension assets. Distinct
policies, strategies, and monitoring processes are usually required for each situation. Our investment
consulting services differ from investment management services in that our consulting services do not
include the day-to-day selection of securities or trading.
Financial Planning
Integrity offers Financial Planning services in conjunction with ongoing investment management.
Using data provided by the client, along with information we maintain, our team will prepare a plan
for clients that covers preservation and transfer of wealth, tax mitigation, financial objectives, and
philanthropic goals.
Betterment for Advisors
Integrity utilizes Betterment for Advisors, a digital wealth management platform generally serving
independent investment advisory firms. Betterment LLC (“Betterment”), a registered investment
advisor, serves as sub-advisor. MTG LLC, dba Betterment Securities (“Betterment Securities”), a
registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and the SIPC, serves as broker-dealer and custodian.
The services provided by Betterment include:
• Goal-Based Investment Management: Betterment’s goal-based investment platform
allows advisors and Clients to identify multiple investment goals for each Client, each with
specific portfolio allocations;
• Portfolio Construction Tools: Advisors and Clients have access to a set of portfolio
strategies, each of which is comprised of low-cost, index-tracking exchange-traded funds or
mutual funds (the latter only for advisors who are approved to construct portfolios with
Dimensional Fund Advisors mutual funds), and are able to customize the risk-level for each
investment goal;
• Automated Investment Management Services: Betterment’s algorithms automate back-
office tasks such as trading, portfolio management, tax loss harvesting, and account
rebalancing;
• Website and Mobile Application: Betterment’s website and mobile application provide a
platform for account access and monitoring and delivery of account documentation and
notices; and
• Advisor Dashboard: Advisors have access to a dashboard for purposes of monitoring and
managing Client accounts.
401(k) Plan Management
As a boutique consulting firm, we distinguish ourselves by simplifying the complex financial needs of
business owners into intentional and well-articulated goals.
Integrity also works with business owners to design a qualified retirement plan to meet the unique
needs of their employees. Services include plan design, recommended lineup of investment offerings,
ongoing investment monitoring, and onsite employee education. The firm may act in either a 3(21)
or a 3(38)-fiduciary role pursuant to The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).
Implementing a 401(k) plan is an important decision that should incorporate a thoughtful process.
Designing a plan that meets the unique needs of owners is equally as important as providing a plan
that incentivizes employee retention and participation. As a fee-based, independent Registered
Investment Advisor, Integrity specializes in providing business owners and plan sponsors with holistic
strategies and a dedicated support team to simplify the complex process of qualified retirement plans.
Amidst a heightened and more scrutinized legal environment, Integrity can act as a co-fiduciary
guiding the design, implementation, and ongoing management of the plan in order to reduce the
burden on plan sponsors. Our personalized employee education program includes group enrollment
meetings and one-on-one financial planning ensuring each participant understands the benefit being
offered and receives custom-tailored investment advice.
It has become more important than ever to consider various types of investments and account types
to diversify future taxable income in light of the political uncertainty and increasing national debt. Our
team may assist clients in diversifying their tax strategies.
Legacy Planning
Additionally, we believe that leaving a financial legacy to one’s family and charitable causes requires
a thoughtful approach. It is never too early to begin planning for the eventual transition of wealth.
Our advisors are available to work with the client’s attorney, CPAs, and/or other representatives
regarding matters related to the client’s assets managed by Integrity.
Holistic financial planning includes tax planning, insurance planning, retirement planning and estate
planning. Financial planning services may include consultations and/or written plans, which analyze
a client’s financial situation and include appropriate recommendations for strategies and methods of
implementation.
Sub-Advisory Services to a Private Fund
Integrity serves as discretionary investment subadvisor to the Integrity Diversified Private Equity
Insurance Dedicated Fund (IDF), a Series of the SALI Multi-Series Fund, L.P. (the “Integrity Series”).
SALI and SALI Fund Partners, LLC are the investment manager and general partner, respectively, of
the SALI Multi-Series Fund, L.P. Interests in the Integrity Series are only offered to insurance company
investors on behalf of certain of their segregated separate accounts that fund certain variable life
insurance contracts.
4.C. CLIENT INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES/RESTRICTIONS
Advisors at Integrity Financial work to create a customized plan for clients that weaves together the
areas of income planning, asset management, tax diversification, risk management, legacy planning,
and charitable giving. Our team of advisors strives to provide clients with a holistic solution to the
client’s financial planning. Our advisors work with clients to create an accurate personal balance sheet
by consolidating scattered investment accounts and thereby streamlining the management of those
funds.
Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities by providing
such restrictions in writing to Integrity. In addition to an investment portfolio, alternative investment
strategies may be implemented to complement core holdings to create a holistic approach to asset
management and assist in meeting longer-term financial planning goals.
