Brochure Summary

Overview

A. Firm Information CIC Wealth, LLC (“CIC Wealth” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) under the laws of the State of Delaware. CIC Wealth was founded in 2017 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CIC Wealth Holdings, LLC. The majority owners of CIC Wealth Holdings, LLC are Michael Fein and Ryan Wibberley. This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by CIC Wealth. B. Advisory Services Offered CIC Wealth offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, businesses, retirement plans, and charitable organizations (each referred to as a “Client”). The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary, the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential conflicts of interest. CIC Wealth’s fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading. Investment Management Services CIC Wealth provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary and non-discretionary investment management and related advisory services. CIC Wealth works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. CIC Wealth will then construct an investment portfolio, consisting of low-cost, diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize individual stocks or bonds contracts to meet the needs of its Clients. The Advisor may retain certain legacy investments based on portfolio fit and/or tax considerations. CIC Wealth will select, recommend and/or retain mutual funds on a fund by fund basis. Due to specific custodial and/or mutual fund company constraints, material tax consideration, and/or systematic investment plans, CIC Wealth will select, recommend and/or retain a mutual fund share class that does not have trading costs, but do have higher internal expense ratios than institutional share classes. CIC Wealth will seek to select the lowest cost share class available that is in the best interest of each Client and will ensure the selection aligns with the Client’s financial objectives and stated investment guidelines. CIC Wealth’s investment approach is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. CIC Wealth will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Advisor. CIC Wealth evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence process. CIC Wealth may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. CIC Wealth may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement. CIC Wealth may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance. Page 5 At no time will CIC Wealth accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited authority as outline in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement, please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices. Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor. Financial Planning Services CIC Wealth will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients, pursuant to a written financial planning agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance needs, and other areas of a Client’s financial situation. A financial plan developed for,
or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example, recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs. CIC Wealth may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly. Financial planning and consulting recommendations poses a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through the Advisor. Retirement Plan Advisory Services CIC Wealth provides retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans (each a “Plan”) and the company (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Each engagement is customized to the needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services generally include: ● Plan Participant Enrollment and Education Tracking ● Investment Oversight Services (ERISA 3(21)) Page 6 These services are provided by CIC Wealth serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2), the Plan Sponsor is provided with a written description of CIC Wealth’s fiduciary status, the specific services to be rendered and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement. Use of Independent Managers CIC Wealth may recommend that a Client utilize one or more unaffiliated investment managers or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio. In such instances, the Client may be required to authorize and enter into an investment management agreement with the Independent Manager that defines the terms in which the Independent Manager will provide its services. The Advisor will perform initial and ongoing oversight and due diligence over each Independent Manager to ensure the strategy remains aligned with its Clients’ investment objectives and overall best interests. The Advisor will also assist in the development of the initial policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. The Client, prior to entering into an agreement with an Independent Manager, will be provided with the Independent Manager's Form ADV 2A (or a brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures). Private Fund Advisor CIC Wealth also serves as the investment advisor to the CIC Private Credit Fund, a series of the Glide Fund Series, LLC. These services are detailed in the offering documents for the Fund, which include as applicable, operating agreements, private placement memorandum and/or term sheets, subscription agreements, separate disclosure documents, series supplements and all amendments thereto (“Offering Documents”). The Advisor manages the Fund based on the investment objectives, policies and guidelines as set forth in the respective Offering Documents and not in accordance with the individual needs or objectives of any particular investor therein. Each prospective investor interested in investing in the Fund is required to complete a subscription agreement in which the prospective investor attests as to whether such prospective investor meets the qualifications to invest in the Fund and further acknowledges and accepts the various risk factors associated with such an investment. CIC Wealth may recommend that certain Clients who meet certain qualifications invest into the Funds. The Advisor does not receive a separate advisory fee for its Investment Advisory services to the Funds, nor any other type of compensation from the Funds. Rather, the Advisor’s only compensation is the advisory fee that it receives from the Client as discussed in Item 5 below. C. Client Account Management Prior to engaging CIC Wealth to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These services may include: ● Establishing an Investment Strategy – CIC Wealth, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives. ● Asset Allocation – CIC Wealth will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client. ● Portfolio Construction – CIC Wealth will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client. ● Investment Management and Supervision – CIC Wealth will provide investment management and ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio. D. Wrap Fee Programs CIC Wealth does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are provided directly by CIC Wealth. Page 7 E.
