Financial Planning Services:
Schorn Wealth provides its clients with financial planning and consultation services (e.g., review of
goals and objectives, analysis and recommendations for cash flow planning, asset
allocation/investment planning, income tax planning, insurance planning, estate planning, retirement
planning, education planning, real estate/mortgage planning, etc.).
Wealth Management Services:
Schorn Wealth provides investment management services on a discretionary basis according to the
investment objectives of the client and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Investment
Advisory Agreement between the Schorn Wealth and the client. Based upon the client’s stated
investment objectives, Schorn Wealth’s investment management focuses on the use of Portfolio
Models in order to provide investment returns consistent with clients’ investment goals and objectives.
Based upon a particular Model Portfolio, Schorn Wealth will invest client’s accounts in certain
percentages amongst numerous asset classes (e.g., stocks, corporate and government bonds, ETFs,
mutual funds, and alternate investments) in order to maximize client’s investment returns while
achieving lower volatility within pre-determined risk parameters.
Use of Sub - Advisors
Schorn Wealth may provide investment advice, recommendations and utilize the investment strategies
of Outside Investment Managers (“Managers”) through a
sub-adviser relationship. Selected Managers
are evaluated by us for use in a client’s account. Factors we will consider in recommending a particular
sub-advisor include, but are not limited to, the client’s stated investment objectives, management style,
independence, stature of the custodian utilized by the sub-advisor, performance, philosophy, financial
strength, continuation of management, client service, reporting, commitment to a particular
investment mandate, fees, trading efficiency, and research.
Managers selected by us may offer multiple strategies. Our Firm will monitor Managers to ensure that
it adheres to the philosophy and investment style for which it was selected and to ensure that its
performance, portfolio strategies, and management remain aligned with the client’s overall investment
goals and objectives. We will retain discretionary authority to hire and fire the Manager. Our ongoing
review includes, but is not limited to, assessment of the Manager’s disclosure brochure, performance
information, materials, personnel turnover, and regulatory events.
When we engage a Manager to invest a separately managed account (“SMA”), the SMA will be traded
by either the Manager (externally-traded) or by our Firm (internally-traded). In both cases, all research,
investment selections and portfolio decisions are the responsibility of the Manager, not our Firm.
Performance reporting may be the provided by the Manager.
. All third-party Managers to whom we will refer or engage for clients will be licensed as registered
investment advisors by their resident state and any applicable jurisdictions or registered investment
advisors with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Through our Discretionary Investment Management Agreement, the Client grants Schorn Wealth
authority to utilize a sub-advisor. Our Firm, in conjunction with the Manager, will continue to provide
advisory services to the Client for the ongoing monitoring, review, and reporting of the overall account
performance.
Third-party managed programs generally have account minimum requirements that will vary from
investment advisor to investment advisor. A complete description of the Manager’s services, fee
schedules and account minimums will be disclosed in the Manager’s Form ADV or similar Disclosure
Brochure which will be provided to clients at the time an agreement for services is executed and
account is established.
