Description of Firm
Green Ridge Wealth Planning LLC is a registered investment adviser primarily based in Montville,
NJ. We are organized as a limited liability company ("LLC") under the laws of the State of New Jersey.
We are primarily owned by Robert James Mascia and Jordan Charles Kaufman.
The following paragraphs describe our services and fees. Refer to the description of each investment
advisory service listed below for information on how we tailor our advisory services to your individual
needs. As used in this brochure, the words "we," "our," and "us" refer to Green Ridge Wealth Planning
LLC and the words "you," "your," and "client" refer to you as either a client or prospective client of our
firm.
Portfolio Management Services
We offer discretionary portfolio management services. Our investment advice is tailored to meet our
clients' needs and investment objectives.
If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant our firm
discretionary authority to manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow us to determine
the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold for your account without
your approval prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority is typically granted by the investment
advisory agreement you sign with our firm and the appropriate trading authorization forms.
You may limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities that can be
purchased or sold for your account) by providing our firm with your restrictions and guidelines in
writing.
Our portfolio management services are designed to assist clients in meeting their financial goals
through the use of a financial plan or consultation. Our firm conducts client meetings to understand
their current financial situation, existing resources, financial goals, and tolerance for risk. Based on
what is learned, an investment approach is presented to the client, consisting of one or more of several
model portfolios developed and maintained by our firm, which may consist of individual stocks, bonds,
exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), and mutual funds. Once the appropriate portfolio has been
determined, portfolios are continuously and regularly monitored, and if necessary, rebalanced based
upon the client’s individual needs, stated goals and objectives. Upon client request, our firm provides a
summary of observations and recommendations for the planning or consulting aspects of this service.
As part of our portfolio management services, in addition to other types of investments (see
disclosures below in this section), we may invest your assets according to one or more
model portfolios developed by our firm. These models are designed for investors with varying degrees
of risk tolerance ranging from a more aggressive investment strategy to a more conservative
investment approach. Clients whose assets are invested in model portfolios may not set restrictions on
the specific holdings or allocations within the model, nor the types of securities that can be purchased
in the model. Nonetheless, clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of
securities in their account. In such cases, this may prevent a client from investing in certain models
that are managed by our firm.
Financial Planning Services
We also offer financial planning services as a stand alone service which typically involve providing a
variety of advisory services to clients regarding the management of their financial resources based
upon an analysis of their individual needs. These services can range from broad-based financial
planning to consultative or single subject planning. If you retain our firm for financial planning services,
we will meet with you to gather information about your financial circumstances and objectives. We may
also use financial planning software to determine your current financial position and to define and
quantify your long-term goals and objectives. Once we specify those long-term objectives (both
financial and non-financial), we will develop shorter-term, targeted objectives. Once we review and
analyze the information you provide to our firm and the data derived from our financial planning
software, we will deliver a written plan to you, designed to help you achieve
your stated financial goals
and objectives.
Financial plans are based on your financial situation at the time we present the plan to you, and on the
financial information you provide to us. You must promptly notify our firm if your financial situation,
goals, objectives, or needs change.
You are under no obligation to act on our financial planning recommendations. Should you choose to
act on any of our recommendations, you are not obligated to implement the financial plan through any
of our other investment advisory services. Moreover, you may act on our recommendations by placing
securities transactions with any brokerage firm.
Selection of Other Advisers
We may recommend that you use the services of a third party money manager ("TPMM") to manage
all, or a portion of, your investment portfolio. After gathering information about your financial situation
and objectives, we may recommend that you engage a specific TPMM or investment program. Factors
that we take into consideration when making our recommendation(s) include, but are not limited to, the
following: the TPMM's performance, methods of analysis, fees, your financial needs, investment goals,
risk tolerance, and investment objectives. We will monitor the TPMM(s)' performance to ensure its
management and investment style remains aligned with your investment goals and objectives. The
TPMM(s) will actively manage your portfolio and will assume discretionary investment authority over
your account.
Pension Consulting Services
We offer pension consulting services to employee benefit plans and their fiduciaries based upon the
needs of the plan and the services requested by the plan sponsor or named fiduciary. In general, these
services may include an existing plan review and analysis, plan-level advice regarding fund selection
and investment options, education services to plan participants, investment performance monitoring,
and/or ongoing consulting. These pension consulting services will generally be non-discretionary and
advisory in nature. The ultimate decision to act on behalf of the plan shall remain with the plan sponsor
or other named fiduciary.
We may also assist with participant enrollment meetings and provide investment-related educational
seminars to plan participants on such topics as:
• Diversification;
• Asset allocation;
• Risk tolerance; and
• Time horizon
Our educational seminars may include other investment-related topics specific to the particular plan.
We may also provide additional types of pension consulting services to plans on an individually
negotiated basis. All services, whether discussed above or customized for the plan based upon
requirements from the plan fiduciaries (which may include additional plan-level or participant-level
services) shall be detailed in a written agreement and be consistent with the parameters set forth in the
plan documents.
Either party to the pension consulting agreement may terminate the agreement upon written notice to
the other party in accordance with the terms of the agreement for services. The pension consulting
fees will be prorated for the quarter in which the termination notice is given and any unearned fees will
be refunded to the client.
Wrap Fee Programs
We do not participate in any wrap fee program.
Types of Investments
We primarily offer advice on ETFs. Refer to the Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk
of Loss below for additional disclosures on this topic.
Additionally, we may advise you on various types of investments based on your stated goals and
objectives. We may also provide advice on any type of investment held in your portfolio at the inception
of our advisory relationship.
Since our investment strategies and advice are based on each client’s specific financial situation, the
investment advice we provide to you may be different or conflicting with the advice we give to other
clients regarding the same security or investment.
