Overview
Firm Description

is 100% owned by the SPGA Wealth Management Voting Trust whose Trustee is David T.
Lyons, Esquire.
Advisory Services
SPGA offers discretionary asset management services to advisory Clients. SPGA will offer
Clients ongoing portfolio management services through determining individual investment goals,
time horizons, objectives, and risk tolerance. Investment strategies, investment selection, asset
allocation, portfolio monitoring and the overall investment program will be based on the above
factors. The Client will authorize SPGA discretionary authority to execute the selected
investment program transactions as stated within the Investment Advisory Agreement.
SPGA’s services include financial consultation planning and investment advisory services.
Services include, but are not limited to, a thorough review of all applicable topics including
Wills/Estate Plans/Trusts, qualified plans, income analysis and planning, Social Security,
insurance policies, taxes, risk analysis, and asset recommendations
SPGA also offers financial planning and consulting services on a separate, standalone fee
basis.
SPGA does not sell insurance products, however, SPGA Investment Advisor Representatives
are also Insurance Agents of Sound Planning Group, Inc, an affiliated entity of SPGA, and
recommend insurance products as part of a Client’s financial plan when it is in the Client’s best
interest.
When recommending an insurance policy, a conflict of interest exists
between the interests of
the investment advisor and those of the Client because the investment advisor representative
may be an insurance agent and part of the financial plan may include a recommendation to
purchase commissioned insurance products. However, the Advisor Representatives have a
fiduciary obligation to place the best interest of the Client first and that the Client is under no
obligation to act upon SPGA’s recommendation or effect the transaction through SPGA any
other affiliated entity or person.
Most mutual funds and exchange traded funds are available directly to the public. Thus, a Client
can obtain many of the funds that may be utilized in the management of the Client’s account(s)
independent of engaging SPGA as an investment advisor. However, if a prospective Client
determines to do so, he/she will not receive SPGA’s initial and ongoing investment advisory
services.
Investment Strategies
Specific Client strategies are based upon the objectives stated by the Client during
consultations. The Client may change these objectives at any time. Each Client executes an
Investment Policy Statement, Risk Tolerance, or other similar type document that outlines their
objectives and their desired investment strategy. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in
certain securities or types of securities.
Amount of Assets Managed
As of December 31, 2023, SPGA had $393,416,022 of Client assets under management on a
discretionary basis and $7,536,492 on a non-discretionary basis, for a total of $400,952,514
assets under management.
