4b: Types of Advisory Services
Investment Management
Stangier Wealth Management offers a variety of investment advisory services to our clients. We work with our clients
to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance in order to create an initial portfolio allocation
designed to complement their financial goals and objectives. We may create a portfolio or suitability profile, consisting
of, but not limited to individual stocks or bonds, exchange traded funds, no-load funds and/or load-waived funds (front-
end commissions will not be charged). Stangier Wealth Management’s strategy, generally, will be to seek to meet
client investment objectives while providing clients with access to personal advisory services.
Stangier Wealth Management generally uses third party portfolio managers and sub-advisors for assets under
management. In certain cases, like bonds or other fixed capital, we may elect to manage those assets internally.
Currently, we use Matson Money, Inc. as a third-party portfolio manager. As business requirements or needs change,
we may use other third-party portfolio manager and sub-advisors, which we will always disclose. In hiring third party
managers and sub-advisors, we take into account many factors, including their performance, methods of analysis, fees,
your financial needs and suitability, goals, and objectives. We periodically monitor the third-party managers to ensure
that their management meets your goals, risks, and objectives. Third-party money manager fees are described in the
following section, Item 5: Fees and Compensation.
As part of our investment management services, Stangier Wealth Management offers basic financial planning services
for our clients. Financial plans are based on your financial situation at the time the plan is presented and are based on
financial information disclosed by you to us. You are advised that certain assumptions may be made with
respect to
interest and inflation rates and the use of past trends and performance of the market and economy. Past performance
is in no way an indication of future performance. We cannot offer any guarantees or promises that your financial goals
and objectives will be met. As your financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs change, you must notify us promptly.
At any time, you are free to contact us to discuss your account, financial situation, or investment needs. You are
encouraged to review your plans on a regular basis.
Financial Planning and Consulting
Stangier Wealth Management also provides standalone financial planning and consulting that may include the
preparation of a financial plan by us, including potential state or tax planning recommendations, an annual or periodic
review of a financial plan, the management and/or monitoring of a client's investments under a financial plan, a
provision of information and/or advice to a client regarding the purchase and/or sale of securities, real estate, insurance
contracts, annuities contracts, or any types of real or personal property under a financial plan. However, unless
specifically stated, standalone financial plans do not include any ongoing services.
4c: Client Tailored Relationships and Restrictions
As a fiduciary, Stangier Wealth Management always acts solely in your best interests. We do not allow client
restrictions regarding the investments made in your portfolio. Restrictions on trading which, in our opinion, are not in
your best interest cannot be honored and if forced may result in the termination of our agreement.
Similarly, you are under no obligation to act upon Stangier Wealth Management's or associated person's
recommendations. If you elect to act on any of the recommendations, you are under no obligation to effect the
transaction through Stangier Wealth Management or its associated person when the person is an agent with a licensed
broker-dealer or through any associate or affiliate of such person.
