Womack Wealth Management, Inc. (“WWM”, “the Firm”, “we”, or “us”) is a corporation
formed under the laws of the State of New Mexico and registered as an investment adviser
with the SEC. The Firm has been in business since 2008 and is headquartered in Manhattan
Beach, California.
Womack Wealth Management, Inc. is 100% owned by Scott H. Womack. He holds the titles of
President and Chief Compliance Officer of the firm and has held these titles since January of 2008
when WWM was incorporated in New Mexico. He currently holds a FINRA Series 65 license.
Womack Wealth Management provides the following types of advisory services:
1. Investment Management and Consulting: Providing guidance to help clients articulate their
goals, financial circumstances and risk parameters then developing appropriately designed
and managed investment portfolios. Services may include:
• Review of current investments
• Overall asset allocation consulting
• Assist in opening account(s) for asset custody through brokerages, trust
companies, and/or banks
• Development of an Investment Policy Statement (IPS), outlining risk
tolerance, risk capacity, investment objectives, allowable investment
classes, and other investment criteria
• Periodic review and rebalancing
• Quarterly performance reporting
WWM portfolio design is based in part on the tenets of Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) and,
in part, on Efficient Markets Hypothesis (EMH). Portfolios consist predominantly of
structured asset class no-load mutual funds, ETFs, individual stocks, bonds (and other fixed
income investments), real estate/REITs, commodity asset class exposure (generally within
ETF’s, mutual funds, and other investment vehicles), and alternative investments. The
minimum account size accepted for the Investment Management and Consulting Services is
$250,000.
Use of Third-Party Money Managers
WWM may refer clients to other investment advisers for money management services.
WWM does not accept any referral fees from third party money managers. In addition to
the Advisory agreement between WWM and the client, the client will also receive and sign a
management agreement with the third-party managers. Any fees charged by third-party
managers to the client will be in addition to the WWM advisory fees.
Employee Benefit Retirement Plan Services
WWM provides advisory services to pensions and profit sharing plans for the design,
implementation, and/or investment management of the plans. WWM will recommend
investment options to be included in the retirement plan, monitor performance, provide
participant enrollment/education meetings if requested by the client, and recommend
changes as needed. For existing retirement/benefits plans, WWM will review the overall
design, current investment options, administrative platforms, TPA providers, expenses,
investment policy statements (IPS), etc. and will provide recommendations for any areas of
improvement.
Institutional Investment Consulting
Available to foundations, endowments, Native American tribes, and qualified retirement
ERISA plans, WWM will provide counsel on overall investment plan design, asset allocation
modeling, investment advisor searches, and due diligence on mutual funds, ETF’s, money
managers, and individual holdings. Investment consulting, for the purpose of this
description, does NOT involve management of the underlying securities but involves
assisting in the selection on a non-discretionary basis of separate advisors, mutual funds,
and others, who may manage the actual assets/investments.
2. Wealth Planning and Management: Design and guidance in the implementation of
coordinated strategies involving comprehensive financial planning, estate
and tax planning
advice, risk management/insurance planning, and investment management, in a holistic
"family office"-style team structure. While stand-alone Financial Planning Services (see
description below) emphasizes plan design with less concentration on guiding the
implementation, Wealth Planning and Management services are ongoing advisory
relationships with a focus on both the planning aspects and the implementation and
management. Wealth Planning and Management integrates WWM's Investment
Management and Consulting services with WWM's Financial Planning Services.
Wealth Planning and Management services are typically available to clients with at least
$1,000,000 in liquid assets. For clients requiring more complex "family office" level wealth
management, assets should typically be in excess of $20,000,000.
3. Financial Planning Services: Financial Planning is available as an integral part of WWM's
Wealth Planning and Management services or as a stand-alone service. When engaged as a
stand-alone service, a client may also separately engage WWM Investment Management
and Consulting services but is under no obligation to do so. Fees for the separate
services will be independent of one another. Financial Planning Services may include
the following:
• Assisting clients assess and define their goals, concerns, and priorities
then designing a plan, integrating these items with their state of finances
and risk tolerance
• Review of assets, debt, cash flow, net worth, projected earnings, and
expenses
• Risk management including a review of ownership structures (trusts, LLC’s,
LLP’s, family limited partnerships, corporations, etc.), insurance analysis
(health, long-term care, life, disability, property and casualty, umbrella,
business continuity, etc.), and consulting for concentrated stock positions,
and closely held businesses
• Retirement income planning
• Education expense and investment planning
• Analysis of employee benefits provided by client's employer
• Design of employer benefits program for client business owners
(managed under separate engagement)
• Estate planning advice
4. Turn-Key Asset Management Services for Advisors: Turn-key services for advisors who
wish to outsource back-office functions of their practice. Two service levels are
available: Level One, in which WWM provides back office administrative support but
does not handle direct portfolio management for the advisors; and, Level Two, in which
WWM provides back office administrative support AND portfolio management (through
"Sub-Advisory Investment Management Services", separately engaged by an advisor with
WWM - see below for description).
5. Sub-Advisory Investment Management Services for Advisors: WWM offers investment
sub-advisory services to unaffiliated investment advisers. Unaffiliated RIAs may choose to
engage WWM's Sub-Advisory Services for investment management of some or all of their
clients' assets. WWM shall have day-to-day responsibility for the active discretionary
management of the allocated assets through a limited power of attorney from the
unaffiliated advisor's client. The unaffiliated advisor RIA shall continue to render
investment advisory services to the client relative to the ongoing monitoring and review
of account performance, asset allocation and client investment objectives.
