You may see the term Associated Person throughout this Brochure. As used in this Brochure, this term refers to
anyone from our firm who is an officer, employee, and all individuals providing investment advice on behalf of
our firm. Where required, such persons are properly registered as investment adviser representatives.
Currently, we offer the following investment advisory services, personalized to each individual client:
• Portfolio Management Services
• Recommendation of Sub-Advisers
• Financial Planning Services
• Pension Consulting Services
• General Consulting Services
• Family Office Services
Portfolio Management Services
Our firm offers discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management services to our clients. Discretionary
portfolio management means we will make investment decisions and place buy or sell orders in your account
without contacting you. These decisions would be made based on your stated investment objectives. Non-
discretionary portfolio management service means that we must obtain your approval prior to making any
transactions in your account.
Our investment advice is tailored to meet our clients’ needs and investment objectives. If you decide to hire our
firm to manage your portfolio, we will meet with you to gather your financial information, determine your
goals, and decide how much risk you should take in your investments. The information we gather will help us
implement an asset allocation strategy that will be specific to your goals, whether we are actively investing for
you or simply providing you with advice.
Drive Wealth Advisers provides advice on various types of securities, such as exchange listed equities, over-the-
counter equities, foreign issues, American depository receipts, corporate debt securities, commercial paper,
certificates of deposit, municipal securities, investment company securities (including mutual funds and
exchange traded funds), US Government securities, options contracts on securities, private equity instruments,
return enhanced notes, and interests in partnership investing in real estate. Additionally, we will provide advice
on existing investments you may hold at the inception of the advisory relationship or on other types of
investments for which you ask advice. Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of
risk, they will only be implemented/recommended when consistent with the client's stated investment
objectives, tolerance for risk, liquidity, and suitability.
Recommendation of External Investment Managers
As part of our overall portfolio management strategy, we may engage the discretionary management services
of unaffiliated investment managers (External Investment Managers) to manage all or a portion of your
account. All External Investment Managers recommended by our firm must either be registered as investment
advisers or exempt from registration requirements. These External Investment Managers may specialize in
traditional investment management or alternative strategies like private equity investments, private credit
markets, hedge funds, or others. Factors that we take into consideration when making our recommendations
include, but are not limited to, the following: the investment managers’ performance, methods of analysis, fees,
your financial needs, investment goals, risk tolerance, and investment objectives. We will periodically monitor the
External Investment Managers’ performance to ensure its management and investment style remain aligned with
your investment goals and objectives.
Investments and allocations are determined based on the clients’ predefined objectives, risk tolerance, time
horizons, financial horizons, financial information, and other various suitability factors. Further restrictions and
guidelines imposed by clients may affect the composition and performance of a client’s portfolio. As such,
different clients of our firm may have significant differences in their asset allocation. For these reasons, the
performance of one client’s portfolio might not be identical to another client’s even if both clients have similar
risk parameters. We review the clients’ financial circumstances and investment objectives regularly and make
adjustments to clients’ portfolios or allocation models as may be necessary to achieve the desired results. At all
times, our firm requires each Associated Person to uphold their fiduciary duty by providing advice that in our
judgment is in the client’s best interest. However, as we construct your investment portfolio, we will monitor
your portfolio’s performance on a continuous basis, and rebalance the portfolio whenever necessary, as
changes occur in market conditions, your financial circumstances, or both.
We will also contact clients at least annually or more often to review their financial situation and objectives.
Please notify us of any changes in your financial situation, investment objectives, or account restrictions.
Management of Held Away Assets
We use Pontera’s third-party platform to facilitate management of held away assets such as defined
contribution plan participant accounts, with discretion. The platform allows us to avoid being considered to
have custody of Client funds since we do not have direct access to Client log-in credentials to affect trades. We
are not affiliated with the platform in any way and receive no compensation from them for using their
platform. A link will be provided to the Client allowing them to connect an account(s) to the platform. Once
Client account(s) is connected to the platform, Adviser will review the current account allocations. When
deemed necessary, Adviser will rebalance the account considering client investment goals and risk tolerance,
and any change in allocations will consider current economic and market trends. The goal is to improve account
performance over time, minimize loss during difficult markets, and manage internal fees that harm account
performance. Client account(s) will be reviewed at least quarterly and allocation changes will be made as
deemed necessary.
Financial Planning Services
We offer broad-based financial planning services regarding the management of financial resources. Such
management is based upon an analysis of the client’s individual needs and begins with an initial
complementary consultation. Once we collect and analyze all documentation, we provide a written financial
plan designed to achieve the client’s financial goals and objectives. In this way, Drive Wealth Advisers assists
the client in developing a strategy for the successful management of income, assets, and liabilities. In general,
financial planning services may include any one or all of the following:
• Cash Flow Analysis – Assessment of a client’s present financial situation by collecting information
regarding net worth and cash flow statements, tax returns, insurance policies, investment portfolios,
pension plans, employee benefit statements, etc. The Firm advises on ways to reduce risk, coordinate,
and organize records, and estate information.
• Retirement Analysis – Identification of a client’s long-term financial and personal goals and objectives
including advice for accumulating wealth for retirement income or appropriate distribution of assets
following retirement. Tax consequences and implications are identified and evaluated.
• Portfolio Analysis/Investment Planning – We provide investment alternatives, including asset
allocation, and effect on a client’s portfolio. We evaluate the economic and tax characteristics of
existing investments as well as their suitability for a client’s objectives. We identify and evaluate tax
consequences and their implications.
• Education Savings Analysis – Alternatives and strategies with respect to the complete or partial
funding of college or other post-secondary education.
• Estate Analysis – We provide advice with respect to property ownership, distribution strategies, estate
tax reduction, and tax payment techniques.
The recommendations and solutions are designed to achieve the client’s desired goals, subject to periodic
evaluation of the financial plan, which may require revision to meet changing circumstances. Financial plans are
based on a client’s financial situation based on the information provided to the Firm. We should be notified
promptly of any change to a client’s financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs.
Clients can also request financial planning services that cover a specific area, such as retirement or estate
planning, asset allocation analysis, manager due diligence, and 401(k) platform due diligence. We offer
consultative services where we set an appointment to meet with you for financial planning advice for an hourly
fee.
You may choose to accept or reject our recommendations. If you decide to proceed with our
recommendations, you may do so either through our investment advisory services or by using the
advisory/brokerage firm of your choice.
In some cases, our recommendations may involve the purchase of insurance products. Drive Wealth Advisers is
affiliated with Drive Insurance Services, an insurance agency licensed in the State of Utah, through common
ownership. Investment Adviser Representatives of Drive Wealth Advisers may also be licensed insurance
agents. Drive Insurance Services and our dually licensed Investment Adviser Representatives can effect
transactions in insurance products and earn commission-based compensation for these activities. Clients
should be aware that a conflict of interest is inherent in such an arrangement. Clients are instructed that the
fees paid to the firm for advisory services are separate and distinct from the commissions earned by Drive
Insurance Services and our dually licensed Investment Adviser Representatives. Clients of Drive Wealth Advisers
are not required to purchase insurance products from Drive Insurance Services or the firm’s dually licensed
Investment Adviser Representatives and can purchase insurance products from any insurance agency and agent
of their choice.
Note: Information related to legal consequences that are provided as part of the financial plan is for
informative purposes only. Clients are instructed
to contact their attorneys for legal advice.
Pension Consulting Services
Drive Wealth Advisers provides several Defined Contributions and Defined Benefit consulting services
separately or in combination. While the primary clients for these services will be pension, profit sharing, and
401(k) plans, Drive Wealth Advisers will also offer these services, where appropriate, to businesses, individuals,
trusts, estates, and charitable organizations. Defined Contributions and Defined Benefit Consulting Services are
comprised of four distinct services. Clients may choose to use any or all of these services.
Investment Policy Statement Preparation
Drive Wealth Advisers will meet with the client (in person or over the telephone) to determine the client's
investment needs and goals. Drive Wealth Advisers will then prepare a written Investment Policy Statement
(“IPS”) stating those needs and goals and creating a policy to help achieve these goals. The IPS will also list the
criteria for the selection of investment vehicles and the procedures and timing intervals for monitoring
investment performance.
Selection of Investment Vehicles
Drive Wealth Advisers will review various investments, consisting of one or all of the following: individual
equities, bonds, other investment products, and mutual funds (both index and managed) to determine which of
these investments are appropriate to implement the client's Investment Policy Statement. The number of
investments to be recommended will be determined by the client, based on the client’s Investment Policy
Statement.
Monitoring of Investment Performance
Client investments will be monitored continuously based on the procedures and timing intervals outlined in the
Investment Policy Statement. Although Drive Wealth Advisers will not be involved in any way in the purchase or
sale of these investments, Drive Wealth Advisers will supervise the client's portfolio and will make
recommendations to the client as market factors and the client's needs dictate.
Employee Communications
For pension, profit sharing and 401(k) plans where the individual account participant exercises control over
assets in his/her own account (hereinafter ''self-directed plans''), Drive Wealth Advisers also provides
educational support and investment workshops designed for the Plan participants. The nature of the topics to
be covered will be determined by Drive Wealth Advisers and the client under the guidelines established in
ERISA Section 404(c).
Other pension consulting services are available on request. All of our pension consulting services, whether
general or customized, will be outlined in an Agreement that shows the services that will be provided and the
fees that will be charged for those services.
General Consulting Services
We also offer general consulting services primarily involving advising clients on specific financial-related topics.
The topics we address may include but are not limited to, risk assessment/management, investment planning,
financial organization, or financial decision-making/negotiation, among others.
Our advice is based on your financial situation and the financial information you provide to our firm at that
time. You may choose to accept or reject our recommendations. If you decide to proceed with our
recommendations, you may do so either through our firm or by using the advisory/brokerage firm of your
choice.
Note: Information related to legal consequences that are provided as part of a plan is for informative purposes
only. Clients are instructed to contact their attorneys for legal advice.

mutually agreed to in advance.
• Asset Protection Planning and Review – Includes review and discussion of strategies that may avoid or
minimize a portion of a family’s balance sheet at risk. These strategies will be evaluated on the

strategies including the use of special purpose entities, trusts, and/or various insurance tools. We will
