TL Private Wealth (hereinafter “TLPW”) offers the following services to advisory
clients: Investment Supervisory Services
TLPW offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals,
objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. TLPW creates an
Investment Policy Statement for each client, which outlines the client’s current
situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels) and then constructs a plan
to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches each client’s specific situation.
Investment Supervisory Services include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Investment Strategy
• Asset Allocation
• Risk Tolerance
• Personal Investment Policy
• Asset Selection
• Regular Portfolio Monitoring
TLPW evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk
tolerance levels and time horizon. TLPW will request discretionary authority from
clients in order to select securities and execute transactions without permission
from the client prior to each transaction. Risk tolerance levels are documented in
the Investment Policy Statement, which is given to each client.
Financial Planning
Financial plans and financial planning may include, but are not limited to
investment planning, life insurance; tax planning; retirement planning; college
planning; and debt/credit planning. These services are included in the annual
investment advisory fee paid by the client.

Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments
TLPW limits its investment advice and/or money management to mutual funds,
equities, bonds, fixed income, debt securities, ETFs, REITs, insurance products
including annuities, and government securities. TLPW may use other securities as
well to help diversify a portfolio when applicable. Additionally, TLPW may
recommend the services of third-party managers to provide investment
management on a separately managed account (SMAs). TLPW carefully reviews
and researches any SMA managers to ensure they are appropriate for each client's
goals and objectives.
Retirement Plan Rollovers and IRA Transfers
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. We
may recommend an investor rollover retirement plan assets to an Individual
Retirement Account (IRA) managed by TLPW. As a result, TLPW may earn an
asset-based fee on those assets. This 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.

C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
TLPW offers the same suite of services to all its clients. However, specific client
investment strategies and their implementation are dependent upon the client
Investment Policy Statement which outlines each client’s current situation
(income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels) and is used to construct a client
specific plan to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches restrictions, needs,
and targets.
Clients may impose restrictions in investing in certain securities or types of
securities in accordance with their values or beliefs. However, if the restrictions
prevent TLPW from properly servicing the client account, or if the restrictions
would require TLPW to deviate from its standard suite of services, TLPW reserves
the right to end the relationship.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
A wrap fee program is an investment program where the investor pays one stated
fee that includes management fees, transaction costs, fund expenses, and any
other administrative fees. TLPW does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
E. Amounts Under Management
As of the date of this brochure, TLPW had a total of $311,139,891 in regulatory assets
under management. Of the total regulatory assets under management, $311,139,891
is managed on a discretionary basis while $0 is managed on a non-discretionary
basis.
