Doyenne Wealth Advisors LLC (Doyenne) was established in 2021 to provide customized wealth advisory
services for high-net-worth individuals and families. The Firm is owned and controlled by four owners
(Managing Directors) who are experienced in delivering custom advisory services to high-net-worth
clients:
Mary Claire Allvine
Kristin Balon
Katherine Donaldson
Anne Petty
All four owners have worked together since 2015, while two out of the four have worked together more
than 20 years as principals in another registered investment advisory firm.
Advisory Services
We provide personalized financial counseling and non-discretionary investment advisory services on a
fee-only basis to individuals, high net worth individuals, senior corporate executives and their trusts,
estates, private foundations, and endowments. In addition, we may provide an ad-hoc or project-based
consultation to clients for an additional fee if such consultation is appropriate under the circumstances.
We do not receive commissions, finders’ fees, or remuneration from the sales of securities or other
financial products, including but not limited to annuities, insurance, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and
limited partnerships. Furthermore, we are not affiliated with entities that sell financial products or
securities. Other professionals (e.g., lawyers, accountants, insurance agents) will be engaged directly by
you on an as-needed basis.
Our financial counsel and investment advice are provided through consultation with the client. The
terms of our services will be memorialized in a Financial Consulting Agreement between you and the
Firm. Services typically include one or more of the following: providing ongoing investment
recommendations, determination of financial objectives, identification of financial obstacles, cash flow
analysis, tax planning, insurance review, education funding, family governance, charitable giving,
comprehensive reporting, and retirement and estate counseling. Your primary advisor will provide you
with investment recommendations and you will make the final decision whether to accept that
recommendation. Doyenne as a non-discretionary advisor does not execute recommended trades in
your account. However, upon your approval, Doyenne has the ability to execute trades, only once
written authorization has been granted for the recommended trades.
Tailored Relationships
Our financial counsel and investment advice is customized and tailored to your unique goals, objectives,
and needs. Our initial meeting with a prospective client, which may be conducted by telephone or video,
is free of charge and is considered an exploratory interview to determine the extent to which our
financial counseling and investment advisory services provided may be beneficial to the prospective
client.

At the outset of the Firm-client relationship, we will conduct an in-depth discovery of your goals,
objectives, and attitudes based on information provided by you. Your advisor will then generate a
written evaluation of your current financial situation, often with an accompanying net worth statement.
Our written evaluation also includes your stated objectives and specifications, which reflect your overall
recommended financial and investment program. We will personalize this investment program for each
client, incorporating and adapting to any applicable client-imposed restrictions.
Wrap Fee Program
We do not participate in wrap fee programs.
IRA Rollover Recommendations
For purposes of complying with the US Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02
(“PTE 2020-02”) where applicable, we are providing the following acknowledgment to you.
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement
accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a
special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under
this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
We may benefit financially from the rollover of your assets from a retirement account that we do not
manage on your behalf to an account that we manage or provide investment advice, because the assets
increase our advised assets and, in turn, our advisory fees. As a fiduciary, we only recommend a rollover
when we believe it is in your best interest. Additional resources about IRA Rollovers are available to
investors through FINRA’s web site at www.finra.org.
