A. Premier Wealth Advisors LLC (“Adviser”) is an investment adviser founded in 2018, registered
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and notice filed in applicable states, and is
principally owned by Josh Koehnen, Ari Crandall, and Joe LeBlanc through their respective
individual corporations.
B. Adviser offers the following types of advisory services:
i.Wealth Management: Adviser provides ongoing non-discretionary wealth management
services to its clients based upon each client’s current financial condition, goals, risk
tolerance, income, liquidity requirements, investment time horizon, and other information
that is relevant to the management of clients’ account(s). Adviser generally recommends
that clients fulfill their investment objectives by allocating their assets across a diversified
risk-based portfolio of no-load mutual funds or exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). This
portfolio is rebalanced periodically to remain in-line with the client’s agreed-upon asset
allocation, though the asset allocation may be changed from time to time based on
changes to a client’s specific situation.
In connection with providing wealth management services, Adviser generally
recommends or selects an independently-registered and unaffiliated investment adviser
(a “Third-Party Adviser”) to manage its clients’ accounts. Adviser currently has such an
arrangement with Buckingham Strategic Partners, LLC (doing business as
“Buckingham”). Buckingham is a turnkey asset management provider, and is
compensated directly by clients for the services it provides, including model portfolio
construction, transaction processing, custodial engagement, back-office support,
quarterly reporting, fee-debiting, and educational conference hosting. Both Adviser and
Buckingham share responsibility for managing and administering client accounts.
ii.Financial Planning: Adviser alternatively offers to provide a one-time financial plan and/or
ongoing financial planning advice that clients will be responsible for implementing at their
discretion. Financial Planning services will typically include analyses and
recommendations with respect to retirement planning, estate planning, investment
planning, charitable planning, education planning, insurance and risk management, and
small business planning (among other related topics as applicable). Such analyses and
recommendations are memorialized in either a one-time financial plan, and/or are
delivered over a series of meetings to allow Adviser to coach clients through
implementation.
iii.Income Tax Preparation: Adviser may also be separately retained by clients to assist with
income tax return preparation, and to analyze clients’ specific
tax situation for
opportunities to minimize federal and state income tax liability. Income tax preparation
fees are billed separately from wealth management or financial planning fees.
Adviser typically provides investment advice with respect to limited types of investments, which
include mutual funds, ETFs, stocks, bonds, and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”).
C. Adviser tailors its advisory services to the individual needs of its clients by taking the time to
understand clients’ current financial condition, goals, risk tolerance, income, liquidity
requirements, investment time horizon, and other information that is relevant to the management
of clients’ account(s). This information will then be used to make investment recommendations
that reflect clients’ individual needs and objectives on an initial and ongoing basis. Adviser’s
recommendations will allocate portions of clients’ account(s) to various asset classes classified
according to historical and projected risks and rates of return. Adviser will review all such
recommendations with clients, and clients will have the opportunity to accept or reject any
recommendations. Clients are under no obligation to accept or implement any recommendation
made by Adviser. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of
securities so long as such restrictions may reasonably be implemented by Adviser.
D. Adviser does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
