Overview
Description of Advisory Firm
Piedmont Capital Management, LLC (formerly Coco Enterprises, LLC and hereinafter Piedmont
Capital) is a registered investment adviser. We were founded in September 2009 and first
registered as an investment adviser directly with individual states in January of 2013. We grew
considerably and at the end of 2020 we became eligible to register with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). Our registration with the SEC became effective in May 2021. Prior
to February 1, 2024, Joe Coco was the principal owner of the firm. Effective February 1, 2024, Tom
Schuch and Drew Coco purchased Joe Coco’s interests in the company. We employ 3 investment
adviser representatives: Tom Schuch and Drew Coco, as the firm’s primary portfolio managers, and
Joe Coco remains to assist in navigating the ownership transition. You can learn more about these
individuals in the supplements provided at the end of this brochure. As of December 31, 2023, we
managed approximately $172 million of client investment assets all on a discretionary basis.
Types of Advisory Services
Piedmont Capital offers the following services:
Wealth Management Services We provide ongoing portfolio management services based on the
individual goals, objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. These services include,
but are not limited to, the following:
• Investment strategy
• Security selection
• Regular and/or continuous portfolio monitoring
We evaluate the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance levels and
time horizon. Risk tolerance levels will be documented in the Investor Profile Questionnaire, which
is completed by the client; or, completed by the advisor during the due diligence process.
Additionally, clients may impose reasonable restrictions on their accounts.
We will periodically review your investment portfolio and implement changes deemed appropriate.
We may change the target asset class allocation and/or the specific assets held in your investment
portfolio. Piedmont Capital provides this service on a discretionary basis and will not
give advance
notice or seek your consent for any changes made to the investment portfolio.
Our clients are responsible for informing Piedmont Capital of any changes in their financial
circumstances, investment objectives, and any other information provided. We encourage our
clients to notify us promptly of any transactions or holdings that appear to be in error or inconsistent
with their investment objectives.
Financial Planning Services Piedmont Capital also offers and provides financial planning services
for an hourly fee. We have found clients generally are seeking guidance on solving a specific
financial problem or issue such as: should I sell my rental property, is my family member’s
investment portfolio allocated or managed appropriately, how can I help pay my grandchild’s
college tuition, etc.? However, if requested, we can provide a comprehensive financial plan
designed to assist the client in evaluating their current financial status and recommendations to
achieve their stated financial goals and objectives.
Additional areas of concern we are often presented with are:
•
Personal: Family records, budgeting, personal liability, estate information and financial goals.
• Death & Disability: Cash needs at death, income needs of surviving dependents, estate
planning and disability income analysis.
•
Retirement: Analysis of current strategies and investment plans to help the client achieve his or her
retirement goals.
•
Investments: Analysis of investment alternatives and their effect on a client’s portfolio.
•
Insurance: Review of existing policies to ensure proper coverage for life, health, disability, long-
term care, liability, home, and automobile.
In delivering this service our clients may or may not receive written recommendations or a detailed
plan. What we deliver will depend upon the complexity of the problem or issue presented and the
specific requests of the client.
Educational Seminars We present various educational seminars on various topics, including both
investment and non-investment subjects. The seminars are generally open to the public.
