A. FIRM DESCRIPTION
THE ESTATE PLANNERS GROUP, LLC (“EPG”) is an investment management firm
established in 2001, organized as a New Jersey Limited Liability Company in 2002, now
domesticated in Pennsylvania as of 2020. Its primary place of business is at 37 S.
Delaware Avenue, Suite 1, Yardley, PA 19067, with additional offices located at 5660
Strand Court, Naples, FL 34110 and 155 E. Boardwalk Drive #516, Fort Collins, CO
80525. EPG became a SEC registered investment adviser in 2017.
EPG currently provides personal portfolio management services, financial planning
services and investment advisory services to individuals.
1. Principal Owner
David Wayne Loesser owns 100% of EPG. In addition to serving as Managing Member,
David Loesser is an Investment Adviser Representative and its Chief Compliance Officer.
B. TYPES OF ADVISORY SERVICES
EPG provides investment management services to individuals, including high net worth
individuals, whose primary objective is to preserve and enhance capital. EPG’s approach
is to help each client individually establish and meet specific goals, while staying within
the client’s indicated risk tolerance level. EPG accomplishes this by spending focused
time with each client, asking questions and discussing a variety of ideas with clients.
1. Investment Supervisory Services
EPG develops a personal investment policy for each client through discussions with the
client concerning his or her individual goals and objectives. EPG creates and manages
a portfolio based on that policy which is in the client’s best interests and takes into
consideration the client's objectives
(e.g., maximum capital preservation, growth, income,
growth and income) and risk tolerance. This portfolio will typically include, but will not
necessarily be limited to, investments in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. EPG will have
discretionary authority to manage such advisory accounts and will not obtain approval
prior to placing trades or the purchase or sale of assets. EPG will discuss and reach
agreement with the client for selection (or termination) of a broker-dealer and/or third-
party investment manager. EPG does not receive a commission on the purchase or sale
of any security and consults with the client on the selection of a broker-dealer whose fee
schedule and execution policies best suit the client's needs. EPG requires a written
Investment Management Agreement (“the Agreement”) to be signed by the client to
engage EPG’s services. The Agreement outlines the services rendered by EPG and the
fees clients will be charged. The Agreement cannot be assigned or transferred by either
party without the prior consent of the other. EPG delivers a Form ADV Part 2 Brochure
containing supplements describing each investment adviser representative that will be
providing advisory services to the client, and Part 3 Customer Relationship Summary, at
or before the time when the Agreement is signed. The client has a right to terminate the
contract without penalty within 5 business days after signature.
2. Financial Consulting Services
In some instances, upon meeting with a client, EPG may determine it is appropriate to
recommend a program to a client where an unrelated third-party investment adviser
manages the investments. Only third-party investment advisors who are registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission are recommended to clients. In such cases,
EPG will continue to advise the client, monitor the third-party investment advisers, and
annually review the client's portfolio in light of the client's stated objectives. EPG will
supply clients and potential clients with a copy of the third-party investment advisor's Form
ADV Part 2 Brochure and Part 3 Customer Relationship Summary.
3. Financial Planning
EPG also offers financial planning services to its clients, including consideration of a
client's needs with respect to trust and estate plans, long term care and insurance. EPG
will advise clients whether such products are appropriate for the client through individual
consultations with clients for which no fee is charged. In instances when EPG believes a
client may benefit from establishing a will or trust, the client is referred to a third-party law
firm qualified to create such documents. EPG does not receive any form of compensation
for referring clients to law firms.
For clients who purchase an insurance product through EPG, David Loesser, the
Managing Member of EPG, and/or Michael Sullivan will receive a commission from the
insurance carrier, with whom they are licensed. Such commissions are based on the
amount of premium charged to the client by the insurance carrier. David Loesser and
Michael Sullivan are licensed to sell insurance products in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
4. Informational Seminars
EPG also provides financial and retirement planning classes on college campuses that
are open to the general public. These classes consist of providing generalized
information with respect to risk management (long term care, life and disability insurance),
social security planning, investments (taxable v. non-taxable) and estate management
(wills, trusts, estate taxes).
C. TAILORED SERVICES
The portfolio management advisory programs offered by EPG are based on the individual
needs of our clients and the suitability of products and services. Our advice is based on
thorough assessment of each client’s goals, objectives, investment horizon, and risk
tolerance.
D. WRAP FEE PROGRAMS
EPG does not participate in nor is it a sponsor of any Wrap Fee Program.
E. ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
EPG determines its regulatory assets under management based on the market value
within 90 days prior to the date of filing Form ADV. As of March 28, 2024, EPG has
$328,600,000 in regulatory assets under management, over which we have continuous
and regular supervisory oversight and discretionary authority. In addition, EPG has
approximately $3,600,000 of non-discretionary assets, over which it does not have
continuous and regular supervisory oversight.
