A. Description of the Advisory Firm
Alta Wealth Advisors LLC (hereinafter “AWA LLC”) is a Limited Liability Company organized in the
State of Massachusetts. The firm was formed in February 2018, and the principal owners are
Vincenzo Stuto, Bryan John Parks, Paul Michael Brissenden and Michael Dominic Viti.
B. Types of Advisory Services
Portfolio Management Services and Selection of Other Advisers
AWA LLC offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals, objectives,
time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. Portfolio management services include, but are not
limited to, the following:
• Investment strategy • Personal investment policy
• Asset allocation • Asset selection
• Risk tolerance • Regular portfolio monitoring
AWA LLC evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance levels
and time horizon. AWA LLC will require 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 and given to each client. AWA LLC may recommend third
party advisers to manage all or a portion of a client’s account. In this case, the client will enter into
a separate advisory agreement with the third-party adviser. Before selecting other advisers for
clients, AWA will verify that all recommended advisers are properly licensed, notice filed, or exempt
in the states where AWA is recommending the adviser to clients.
AWA LLC seeks to provide that investment decisions are made in accordance with the fiduciary
duties owed to its accounts and without consideration of AWA LLC’s economic, investment or other
financial interests. To meet its fiduciary obligations, AWA LLC attempts to avoid, among other
things, investment or trading practices that systematically advantage or disadvantage certain client
portfolios, and accordingly, AWA LLC’s policy is to seek fair and equitable allocation of investment
opportunities/transactions among its clients to avoid favoring one client over another over time. It
is AWA LLC’s policy to allocate investment opportunities and transactions it identifies as being
appropriate and prudent, including initial public offerings ("IPOs") and other investment
opportunities that might have a limited supply, among its clients on a fair and equitable basis over
time.

limited to 401(k) plans). Pension consulting may include, but is not limited to:
• identifying investment objectives and restrictions

• recommending money managers to manage plan assets in ways designed to
achieve objectives
• monitoring performance of money managers and investment options and making
recommendations for changes
• recommending other service providers, such as custodians, administrators and
broker-dealers
• creating a written pension consulting plan
These services are based on the goals, objectives, demographics, time horizon, and/or risk
tolerance of the plan and its participants.
Financial Planning

insurance; tax concerns; retirement planning; college planning; and debt/credit planning.

Written Acknowledgement of Fiduciary Status
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
C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
AWA LLC will tailor a program for each individual client. This will include an interview session to get
to know the client’s specific needs and requirements as well as a plan that will be executed by AWA
LLC on behalf of the client. AWA LLC may use model allocations together with a specific set of
recommendations for each client based on their personal 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 AWA LLC from properly servicing the
client account, or if the restrictions would require AWA LLC to deviate from its standard suite of
services, AWA LLC reserves the right to end the relationship.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
AWA LLC acts as portfolio manager for and sponsor of a wrap fee program, which is an investment
program where the client pays one stated fee that includes management fees, transaction costs,
fund expenses, and other administrative fees. However, this brochure describes AWA LLC’s non-
wrap fee advisory services; clients utilizing AWA LLC’s wrap fee portfolio management should see
the separate Wrap Fee Program Brochure. AWA LLC manages the investments in the wrap fee
program but does not manage those wrap fee accounts any differently than it would manage non-
wrap fee accounts. Fees paid under the wrap fee program will be given to AWA LLC as a
management fee. Please also see Item 5 and Item 12 of this brochure.

AWA LLC has the following assets under management:
