The Wrap Fee Program Services
The Wrap Fee Program (“Program”) offers individualized portfolio management, asset
allocation, portfolio monitoring, and consolidated reporting. Portfolios are not limited
to any specific product offered by a broker/dealer and will generally include mutual
funds, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), stocks, corporate debt securities, municipal
securities, United States governmental securities and certificates of deposit.
Your portfolio (“account” or “investment account”) and the investment strategies utilized
are determined based upon your specific individual investment objectives, goals and risk
tolerances. We may periodically adjust your account (a process referred to as
“rebalancing”) to help ensure that your investment account remains consistent with your
objectives, goals, and risk tolerances. Automatic rebalancing will only occur in
discretionary accounts. For non-discretionary accounts, we will obtain the client’s prior
approval before entering any rebalancing transaction.
We rely on you to notify us of any changes in your objectives, goals and risk tolerances,
as well as any other material changes in your personal circumstances (such as your
employment, marital status, financial condition, etc.). These changes may prompt
changes in your investment account and the investment strategies employed.
We manage these advisory accounts on either a discretionary (meaning that the client
authorizes us to make specific investment decisions on their behalf) and non-
discretionary basis (meaning that we must obtain the client’s specific prior approval
before each and every transaction can be affected for their investment account).
Whether we are authorized to exercise discretion with respect to the client’s investment
account is the client’s choice. When the client establishes an advisory relationship with
us, we will ask that the client advise us in writing how they would like us to handle their
account.
The scope of the discretionary authority that a client may grant to us is limited to
selecting specific investments for their account and deciding how to allocate their
assets among those investments. We may decide if and when to buy, hold, or sell
those investments. Once a client has granted discretionary authority to us, it is effective
until the client changes it or revokes it in writing.

Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of
securities, or industry sectors.
The annualized fee for Portfolio Management Services will be charged as a percentage
of assets under management, according to the following schedule:
Assets Managed by Medallion Wealth Advisors
Portfolio value under management Annual Fee
First $500,000 1.30%
Next $500,000 1.00%
Next $1,000,000 0.95%
Above $2,000,000 0.90%
Medallion Wealth Advisors' annual fee shall be prorated and charged quarterly, in
advance, based upon the market value of the assets on the last day of the previous
quarter. Fees are debited from client accounts, unless the client requests in writing to be
billed and paid separately.
Medallion Wealth Advisors, in its sole discretion, may negotiate to charge a lesser
management fee based upon certain criteria (i.e., anticipated future earning capacity,
anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed, related
accounts, account composition, pre-existing client, account retention, pro bono activities,
etc.).
Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty, for a full refund of MWA’s fees
within five business days of signing the advisory agreement. Thereafter a client
relationship may be cancelled at any time, by either party, for any reason upon receipt of
written notice. A client may receive a refund of a pre-paid fee if the advisory contract is
terminated before the end of the billing period. The refund will be calculated based on
the number of unused days of service.
No transaction fees (“ticket charges”) are assessed for trades in the Program Account,
except for nominal transaction charges that are not controlled by Medallion Wealth
Advisors or the custodian/broker-dealer, such as those that may be imposed by the SEC.
This wrap fee program may cost you more or less than purchasing these services
separately, depending on the amount of trading activity in your account, the value of
services that are provided to you under this program, and other factors. Therefore,
investment advisory representatives may have a financial incentive to recommend the
wrap fee program over other programs or services.
We do not charge our clients higher advisory fees based on their trading activity, but you
should be aware that we may have an incentive to limit our trading activities in your
account(s) because we are charged for executed trades. Generally, wrap programs may
result in higher overall costs to you in accounts that experience little trading activity.

Our fees may be higher or lower than the fees charged by other advisers for similar
services.
In addition to our fee, certain additional charges may be assessed. These fees are not
assessed by or paid to MWA, and may include:
• internal fees and expenses charged by mutual funds or ETFs;
• maintenance and termination fees for IRAs, certain retirement and qualified
accounts; and
• other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions.
All fees paid to us for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees
and expenses charged by mutual funds and/or ETFs to their shareholders. These fees
and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees will generally include
a management fee, other fund expenses, and a possible distribution fee. MWA will not
participate in the sharing of fees charged by the mutual fund.
Management personnel and other investment advisory representatives (“IAR”) of our firm
may also be registered representatives of American Portfolio Financial Services, Inc., a
broker-dealer that is a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and
the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). MWA is not affiliated with
American Portfolio Financial Services, Inc.
If a client chooses to effect securities transactions through an IAR in his/her capacity as
a registered representative of a broker-dealer, the IAR may receive commissions and
other compensation from those transactions. For example, the IAR may receive 12b-1
fees, which are fees paid by mutual fund companies for the on-going marketing of their
investment products.
Management personnel and other IARs of our firm may be licensed as insurance agents
or brokers through various insurance companies that are unaffiliated with MWA. As such,
they may receive commissions from any insurance products the client purchases through
them.
The arrangements described above may present a conflict of interest to the extent that
these individuals recommend that a client invest in a security which results in a
commission being paid to the individuals. We are nonetheless committed to acting in your
best interests at all times.
Clients are not under any obligation to engage these individuals when considering
implementation of advisory recommendations. The implementation of any or all
recommendations is solely at the discretion of the client.
