Brochure Summary

Overview

A. Firm Information Mayflower Financial Advisors, LLC (“Mayflower Advisors” 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 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Mayflower Advisors filed for registration as an investment advisor in March 2020 and is owned and operated by Steven Dimitriou (Managing Partner), Lawrence Glazer (Managing Partner) and Lloyd Glazer (Managing Partner). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by Mayflower Advisors. For additional information on Mayflower Advisors or this Disclosure Brochure, please contact Vinson Brod, Chief Compliance Officer. B. Advisory Services Offered Mayflower Advisors offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, businesses, charitable organizations, retirement plans and pooled investment vehicles (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. Mayflower Advisors' 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. Wealth Management Services Mayflower Advisors provides customized wealth management services for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary and non-discretionary investment management and related advisory services. Investment Management Services – Mayflower Advisors 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. Mayflower Advisors primarily allocates client assets among various mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), individual debt and equity securities, independent investment managers (“Independent Managers”) and private investment vehicles in accordance with their stated investment objectives. The Advisor may retain certain types of investments based on a Client’s legacy investments based on portfolio fit and/or tax considerations. Mayflower Advisors’ investment strategies are 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. Mayflower Advisors 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. Mayflower Advisors evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence process. Mayflower Advisors may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. Mayflower Advisors 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. Mayflower Advisors 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 the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance. Under certain circumstances, Mayflower Advisors may accept or maintain custody of Client’s funds or securities. Please see Item 15 – Custody for more information. 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 Page 5 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. Use of Independent Managers – As noted above, Mayflower Advisors may select certain Independent Managers to actively manage a portion of some Clients’ assets. The specific terms and conditions under which a Client engages an Independent Manager may be set forth in a separate written agreement with the designated Independent Manager. In addition to this brochure, Clients may also receive the written disclosure documents of the respective Independent Managers engaged to manage their assets. Mayflower Advisors evaluates a variety of information about Independent Managers, which includes the Independent Managers’ public disclosure documents, materials supplied by the Independent Managers themselves and other third-party analyses it believes are reputable. To the extent possible, Mayflower Advisors seeks to assess the Independent Managers’ investment strategies, past performance and risk results in relation to its Clients’ individual portfolio allocations and risk exposure. Mayflower Advisors also takes into consideration each Independent Manager’s management style, returns, reputation, financial strength, reporting, pricing and research capabilities, among other factors. On an ongoing basis, Mayflower Advisors monitors the performance of those accounts being managed by Independent Managers. Mayflower Advisors seeks to ensure the Independent Managers’ strategies and target allocations remain aligned with its Clients’ investment objectives and overall best interests. Participant Account Management - As part of the Advisor’s Investment Management Services, when appropriate, the Advisor will use a third-party platform, Pontera Solutions, Inc., to facilitate management of held away assets such as defined contribution plan participant accounts, with investment discretion. The platform enables the Advisor to gain access to Client account without having access through the Client’s credentials. This independent advisor access ensures that the Advisor will not have custody of Client funds or securities when implementing trades for the Client. The Advisor is not affiliated with the platform in any way and receives no compensation from the platform. A link will be provided to the Client allowing them to connect their account[s] to the platform for the Advisor’s secure access. Donor Advised Fund Services - The Advisor provides the Pershing Donor Advised Fund (“DAF”) to Clients via the American Endowment Foundation, a solution for charitable giving to philanthropic vehicle, for the purpose of managing charitable donations contributed by or on behalf of donor clients. The DAF allows the Advisor to actively manage assets that have been donated,
while charging an investment management fee. The Advisor to operates as an advisory manager on the platform. The American Endowment Foundation is an independent company and unaffiliated with the Advisor. Financial Planning Services – Mayflower Advisors will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients, either as a component of wealth management services or 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, insurance needs 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. Page 6 Mayflower Advisors 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. Retirement Plan Advisory Services Mayflower Advisors provides advisory services to company retirement plans (each a “Plan”) and the company/sponsor (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
• Employee Enrollment and Education Tracking
• Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
• Investment Management (ERISA 3(38))
• Investment Recommendation and Assistance (ERISA 3(21))
• Performance Reporting
• Plan Committee Consultation
• Executive Planning and Benefits
• Plan fee and Cost Analysis These services are provided by Mayflower Advisors 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 Mayflower Advisors’ fiduciary status, the specific services to be rendered and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement. Private Fund Advisor Services The Advisor serves as the investment manager to pooled investment vehicles (each a “Private Fund” and collectively the “Private Funds”). These services are detailed in the offering documents for each Fund, which include as applicable, operating agreements, private placement memorandum and/or term sheets, subscription agreements, separate disclosure documents, and all amendments thereto (“Offering Documents”). The Advisor manages each Fund based on the investment objectives, policies and guidelines as set forth in the respective Offering Documents and not in accordance with the individual needs or objectives of any particular investor therein. Each prospective investor interested in investing in a Fund is required to complete a subscription agreement in which the prospective investor attests as to whether or not such prospective investor meets the qualifications to invest in the Fund and further acknowledges and accepts the various risk factors associated with such an investment. In general, investors in the Private Funds are not permitted to impose restrictions or limitations. However, the Advisor may enter into side letter agreements with one or more investors that may alter, modify, or change the terms of interest held by investors. Certain types of side letters create a conflict of interest between the Advisor and the investors in the Fund, and/or between investors themselves. For more detailed information on investment objectives, policies and guidelines, please refer to the respective Fund’s Offering Documents. Page 7 C. Client Account Management Prior to engaging Mayflower Advisors to provide investment 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 – Mayflower Advisors, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Mayflower Advisors 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 – Mayflower Advisors will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client.
• Investment Management and Supervision – Mayflower Advisors will provide investment management and ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio. D. Wrap Fee Programs Mayflower Advisors does not sponsor a wrap fee program in connection with their investment management services. However, certain Independent Managers sponsor a wrap fee program. A wrap fee program is defined as any advisory program under which a specified fee or fees not based directly upon transactions in a Client’s account is charged for investment advisory services (which may include portfolio management or advice concerning the selection of other investment advisers) and the execution of Client transactions. Whenever a fee is charged to a Client for services described in this brochure (whether wrap fee or non-wrap fee), the Advisor will receive all or a portion of the fee charged. A complete description of these programs and related fees, charges, when due and termination procedures are described in the respective managers disclosure brochures, which you receive at or prior to the time a third-party managed account is established. E. Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2023, Mayflower Advisors manages $4,688,875,503 in Client assets, $1,147,308,334 of which are managed on a discretionary basis and $3,541,567,169 on a non-discretionary basis.
