Firm Description
Statherόs Financial Solutions, Inc., (“the Advisor”) was founded in 2019 and is an SEC registered investment
advisor.
Statherόs Financial Solutions, Inc. is succeeding to the business of a registered investment adviser due to a
change in the ownership structure of our predecessor investment advisory firm, PGR Solutions, LLC.
The Advisor provides personalized investment management and financial planning to individuals, pension
and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and small businesses. Advice is provided
through consultation with the client and may include: determination of financial objectives, identification of
financial problems, cash flow management, tax planning, insurance review, investment management,
education funding, retirement planning, and estate planning. In additions to investment management the
Advisor provides administrative and portfolio support services to other third-party investment managers
and/or registered representatives of broker dealers and also provides retirement plan advisory and consulting
services to qualified retirement plan sponsors.
The Advisor is a fee-only investment management firm and does not sell securities on a commission basis.
However, there may be some associated persons who are in other fields where they receive commissions as
compensation. In addition, some associates may serve at the pleasure of their client as a trustee, board
member, or in a similar capacity. All such relationships are fully disclosed and subject to the review of
management.
The firm is not affiliated with entities that sell financial products or securities.
Investment advice is provided, with the client making the final decision on investment selection. The Advisor
does not act as a custodian of client assets and the client always maintains asset control.
Other professionals (e.g., lawyers, accountants, insurance agents, etc.) are engaged directly by the client on
an as-needed basis. Any conflicts of interest arising out of the Advisor or its associated persons are disclosed
in this brochure.

Types of Agreements
The following agreements define the typical client relationships. Agreements may not be assigned without
client consent.
Retirement Plan Services Agreement
The Advisor provides retirement plan advisory services to qualified retirement plan sponsors. These
Advisory services generally include employee education and enrollment meetings and investment
management and discretionary advisory services to the Plan Sponsor and/or its employees in accordance with
the Plans’ Investment Policy Statements. Additional services include but are not limited to file maintenance,
and access to model allocations.
Asset Management
Assets are invested primarily in no-load or low-load mutual funds and exchange traded funds (“ETFs"),
usually through Qualified Custodians (“Custodians”) and/or fund companies. Fund companies charge each
fund shareholder an investment management fee that is disclosed in the fund prospectus. Custodians may
charge a transaction fee for the purchase of some funds.
Stocks and bonds transferred to Advisor will be sold through a brokerage account as needed, usually as an
accommodation or when transacting legacy securities. The brokerage firm charges a fee for stock and bond
trades.
The Advisor does not receive any compensation, in any form, from fund companies.
Initial public offerings (IPOs) are not available through the Advisor.
Termination of Agreement
The client may terminate immediately Advisor's investment management services within five (5) days of
signing the agreement and will not be charged a fee provided no assets have transferred to the account. After
then, the investment management agreement may be terminated at any time by mutual consent of the parties,
or without such consent, by either party giving to the other party written notice of termination concurrent with
or in advance of the termination date. If the agreement is terminated, client will only be charged a pro-rated
fee up through the date assets are transferred out of the account managed by Advisor.
The third-party investment management services may be terminated by either party with written or verbal
notice concurrent with or in advance of the effective termination date. Prepaid investment management fees,
if any, will be returned to the third party.
The retirement plan consulting and administrative services may be terminated by either party with written
notice 30 days prior to the effective termination date.
The Advisor reserves the right to stop work on any account that is more than 30 days overdue. In addition,
the Advisor reserves the right to terminate any financial planning engagement where a client has willfully
concealed or has refused to provide pertinent information about financial situations when necessary and
appropriate, in the Advisor’s judgment, to providing proper financial advice.
