A. Firm Information
New World Advisors, LLC (“New World” 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 Massachusetts. New World was founded in March 2018 and is owned by New World Advisors
Management, LLC. New World is operated by Christopher D. Cabral (Partner, Chief Investment Officer, and Chief
Compliance Officer), and John A. Fasciano (Partner). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding
the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by New World.
B. Advisory Services Offered
New World offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, 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. New World’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
New World provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous
personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and related advisory
services. New World 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. New World 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, bonds or options contracts
to meet the needs of its Clients. The Advisor may retain certain legacy investments based on portfolio fit and/or
tax considerations.
The Advisor may recommend speculative investments to certain Clients based on the Client’s risk tolerance and
goals. These speculative investments may include recommendations for alternative investments (limited
partnerships), Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), and/or oil and gas interests. The Advisor will provide the
specific risks that are associated with speculative investments to each Client in advance of investing Client
accounts. Please also see Item 8.B. – Risk of Loss for the risks associated with investments, including alternative
investments (limited partnerships), Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), and/or oil and gas interests.
New World’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. New World 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.
New World evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. New World may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the
portfolio. New World 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. New World 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 Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk
deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
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.
At no time will New World accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited
authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at
the Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Use of Independent Managers
New World 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 advisory agreement with the Independent
Manager[s] that defines the terms in which the Independent Manager[s] will provide investment management and
related services. The Advisor may also assist in the development of the initial policy recommendations and
managing the ongoing Client relationship. The Advisor will perform initial and ongoing oversight and due diligence
over the selected Independent Manager[s] to ensure the Independent Managers’ strategies and target allocations
remain aligned with its clients’ investment objectives and overall best interests. The Client, prior to entering into
an agreement with unaffiliated investment manager[s] or investment platform[s], will be provided with the
Independent Manager's Form ADV 2A (or a brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures).
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
New World provides 3(21) 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:
• Vendor Analysis
• Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
These services are provided by New World 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 New World’s fiduciary status, the specific services to be rendered
and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement.
Financial Planning Services
New World 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 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.
New World 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 pose 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.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging New World to provide 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 – New World, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy
that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – New World 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 – New World will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the
stated goals and objectives of the Client.
• Investment Management and Supervision – New World will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
New World does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services
are provided directly by New World.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2022 New World manages $453,163,222 in Client assets, of which $448,316,141 are
managed on a discretionary basis and $4,847,081 on a non-discretionary basis. Clients may request more current
information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
