As used in this Brochure, our Associated Persons are our firm's officers, employees, and all individuals

Portfolio Management Services
We offer our portfolio management services on a discretionary basis. If you participate in our
discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant our firm discretionary authority to
manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow our firm to determine the specific
securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold for your account without your
approval prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority is typically granted by the investment
advisory agreement you sign with our firm, a power of attorney, or trading authorization forms. In our
sole discretion, you may limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities
that can be purchased for your account) by providing our firm with your restrictions and guidelines in
writing.
These services include an initial consultation along with follow up consultations, as may be agreed,
to discuss your unique investment objectives, time horizon, risk tolerance, tax circumstances, and
various other financial factors. We will ask that you complete certain investor questionnaires,
onboarding forms, and other documents to assist us in gathering information about your financial
needs and circumstances. Based on our evaluation of the foregoing factors, we will use the information
we gather to develop a strategy that enables our firm to give you continuous and focused investment
advice and/or to make investments on your behalf. Once we establish an investment portfolio for you,
we will monitor your portfolio's performance on an ongoing basis, and will rebalance the portfolio as
required by changes in market conditions and/or in your financial circumstances.
We offer advisory clients access to our "e-Money" aggregation platform (no additional fee). This
service enables users to access secure online vaults capable of storing a myriad of documents,
including financial statements and legal documents, and also enable users to view up-to-date account
balances for linked accounts.
We manage our clients’ investments within the larger context of the client’s overall wealth management
and financial planning process. Specifically, we offer complimentary advice, at no additional charge, on
a range of wealth management issues that complement the management of the client’s investment
portfolio, including: estate planning, retirement planning, education planning, income tax planning,
liability planning, and insurance planning, among other areas. We do not prepare tax returns, practice
law, or make loans. However, we offer our objective, unbiased advice to our clients on the full range of
wealth management topics in order to better serve our clients and help them manage their overall
financial affairs.
In addition, for those clients that require an enhanced and/or specialized level of asset management
service, we may also recommend that you authorize the active discretionary
management of your
assets by and/or among certain independent investment manager(s) and/or investment programs (the
"Independent Manager(s)"), based upon your stated objectives. We shall also provide you with a copy
of the written disclosure statement of the Independent Manager(s). Additionally, we shall continue to
render investment supervisory services to you relative to the ongoing monitoring and review of account
performance, asset allocation and your investment objectives. Factors which we shall consider in
recommending Independent Manager(s) include your designated investment objectives, manager
investment style, distinct investment discipline, consistency and predictability of results, reputation,
financial strength, reporting, pricing and research.
Financial Consulting Services
Some clients may only require advice on a single aspect of the management of their financial
resources. In these cases, we offer financial plans in a modular format and/or general consulting
services that address only those specific areas of concern, depending on your unique circumstances.
These services are based on your financial situation at the time we present our recommendations to
you, and on the financial information you provide to our firm. You must promptly notify our firm if your
financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs change.
You are under no obligation to act on our recommendations. Should you choose to act on any of our
recommendations, you are not obligated to implement our advice through any of our other investment
advisory services. Moreover, you may act on our recommendations by placing securities transactions
with any brokerage firm.
Types of Investments
We primarily offer advice on mutual funds, exchange traded funds, annuities, real estate investment
trusts and leveraged ETFs. Additionally, we may advise you on any type of investment that we deem
appropriate based on your stated goals and objectives. We may also provide advice on any type of
investment held in your portfolio at the inception of our advisory relationship. Please review Item 8 of
this Brochure for more information on our investment strategies and associated risks.
You may request that we refrain from investing in particular securities or certain types of securities.
You must provide these restrictions to our firm in writing.
IRA Rollover Recommendations
For purposes of complying with the DOL’s Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 (“PTE 2020-02”)
where applicable, we are providing the following acknowledgment to you.
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement
accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a
special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under
this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
We benefit financially from the rollover of your assets from a retirement account to an account that we
manage or provide investment advice, because the assets increase our assets under management
and, in turn, our advisory fees. As a fiduciary, we only recommend a rollover when we believe it is in
your best interest.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2023, we provide continuous management services for approximately
$295,878,716 in client assets on a discretionary basis.
