Investment Management Services:
Kaufman Rossin Wealth manages investment portfolios for individuals, trusts, charitable organizations,
businesses and qualified retirement plans. Kaufman Rossin Wealth will work with a client to determine
the client’s investment objectives and investor risk profile and will design a written investment policy
statement. Kaufman Rossin Wealth works with new clients to develop a plan to transition from the
client’s existing portfolio, as applicable, to the portfolio recommended by Kaufman Rossin Wealth.
Kaufman Rossin Wealth will then continuously monitor the client’s portfolio holdings and the overall
asset allocation strategy and hold review meetings with the client regarding the account as necessary.
Client assets are generally invested in mutual funds, exchange‐traded funds (ETFs), listed equity and
fixed‐income securities (such as stocks, bonds, and options), hedge funds, as well as private equity,
private debt, and other pooled investment vehicles. Some of these funds will be managed by other
advisors.
Kaufman Rossin Wealth may recommend non‐affiliated private fund investment vehicles to certain
“qualified clients” as an investment option. Private fund investments will only be recommended when
appropriate based on a client’s risk appetite. Investors in private funds should refer to the offering
documents for a full description of the fees to be charged, which may include performance‐based fee
arrangements. Clients that invest in a private fund will be required to sign the limited placement
agreement directly with the sponsoring entity.
Client portfolios may also include some individual equity securities in situations where disposition of
these securities would present an overriding tax implication, or the client specifically requests they be
retained for a personal reason. These situations will be specifically identified in the client’s Investment
Policy Statement (IPS).
Kaufman Rossin Wealth manages portfolios on a discretionary or non‐discretionary basis according to
the investment policy selected by the client. A client may impose any reasonable restrictions on
Kaufman Rossin Wealth’s discretionary authority, including restrictions on the types of securities in
which Kaufman Rossin Wealth may invest client’s assets and on specific securities, which the client may
believe to be appropriate.
Kaufman Rossin Wealth has retained Buckingham Strategic Partners to act as a sub‐advisor for certain
client accounts. Buckingham Strategic Partners shall provide various model asset allocation portfolios
(each a “Portfolio”, collectively “Portfolios”) for selection by Kaufman Rossin Wealth. Each Portfolio
strives to achieve long‐term risk and return objectives through diversification. Each Portfolio is designed
to meet a particular investment goal which Kaufman Rossin Wealth has determined is suitable based on
the client's circumstances. The Portfolio will continuously be managed based on the portfolio’s goal and
Buckingham Strategic Partners will have discretionary authority to manage the Portfolio(s), including
periodic rebalancing. Kaufman Rossin Wealth, on behalf of its client, will have the opportunity to place
reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in the portfolio. Should material life
events occur, clients should immediately contact Kaufman Rossin Wealth to determine if changes to an
account and the allocation of the assets held in the account are necessary.
For client portfolios managed on a non‐discretionary basis, client should be aware that the authority for
Kaufman Rossin Wealth to retain a sub‐advisor is provided in the signed advisory agreement and is
provided on a discretionary basis.
For fixed income positions, the sub‐advisor will monitor the account for changes in credit ratings,
security call provisions, and tax loss harvesting opportunities (to the extent that the manager is provided
with cost basis information).
On an ongoing basis, Kaufman Rossin Wealth will answer clients’ inquiries regarding their accounts and
review periodically with clients the performance of their accounts. Kaufman Rossin Wealth will
periodically, and at least annually, review clients’ investment policy, risk profile and discuss the re‐
balancing of each client’s accounts to the extent appropriate. Kaufman Rossin Wealth will provide to
sub‐advisor any updated client financial information or account restrictions necessary for sub‐advisor to
provide their services.
In addition to managing the client’s investment portfolio, Kaufman Rossin Wealth may consult with
clients on various financial areas including income and estate tax planning, business sale structures,
college financial planning, retirement planning, insurance analysis, personal cash flow analysis,
establishment and design of retirement plans and trust designs, among other things.
Additionally, Kaufman Rossin Wealth may allocate a portion of a portfolio to an independent third‐party
investment advisor (“Independent Manager”) for separate account management based upon individual
client circumstances and objectives, including, but not limited to, client account size and tax
circumstances. Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory agreement, Kaufman Rossin Wealth
shall have the discretion to appoint and terminate these third‐party advisers. The specific terms and
conditions under which a client engages an Independent Manager may also be set forth in a separate
written agreement with the designated Independent Manager. However, not all Independent Managers
require a separate advisory agreement with the designated Independent Manager. Disclosure of the use
of an Independent Manager and their additional fees will be provided to clients. Independent Managers
utilized by Kaufman Rossin Wealth include BSP and Dimensional Funds Advisors.
Kaufman Rossin Wealth does not participate in or sponsor any wrap fee programs.
Financial Planning Services:
Kaufman Rossin Wealth also provides advice in the form of Financial Planning. Clients purchasing this
service may receive various written financial reports, providing the client with detailed financial
information designed to achieve their stated financial goals and objectives.
In general, the financial plan will address any or all of the following areas of concern:

term care, liability, home, and automobile.

retirement goals.
INVESTMENTS: Analysis of all investment holdings and costs, examining the potential long‐term effects
on a client’s portfolio, recommending appropriate investment options, allocations, or adjustments.
Kaufman Rossin Wealth gathers required information through in‐depth personal interviews and
questionnaires. Information gathered includes a client’s current financial status, future goals and
attitudes towards risk. Related documents supplied by the client are carefully reviewed and a written
report is typically prepared. Should a client choose to implement the recommendations in the plan,
Kaufman Rossin Wealth suggests the client work closely with his/her attorney, accountant or insurance
agent. Implementation of financial plan recommendations is entirely at the client’s discretion. Clients
are encouraged to review their plan on a regular basis, especially if there are any changes in their
financial situation, goals, needs, or investment objectives.
Employee Benefit Retirement Plan Services:
Kaufman Rossin Wealth also provides advisory services to participant‐directed employee retirement
benefit plans through third‐party administration services, which are online bundled service providers
offering an opportunity for plan sponsors to provide their participants with daily account access,
valuation, and investment education.
Kaufman Rossin Wealth will analyze the plan's current investment platform and assist the plan in
creating an investment policy statement defining the types of investments to be offered and the
restrictions that may be imposed. Kaufman Rossin Wealth will recommend investment options to
achieve the plan's objectives, provide participant education meetings, and monitor the performance of
the plan's investment vehicles.
Kaufman Rossin Wealth will recommend changes in the plan's investment vehicles as may be
appropriate from time to time. Kaufman Rossin Wealth generally will review the plan's investment
vehicles and investment policy as necessary.
For certain retirement plans, Kaufman Rossin Wealth also works in coordination and support with
Buckingham Strategic Partners (“BSP”). Retirement plan clients will engage both Kaufman Rossin Wealth
and BSP. BSP will provide to the client additional discretionary investment management services and
will exercise discretionary authority to select the plan investments made available to the plans’
participants by selecting and maintain the plans’ investments according to the goals and investment
objectives of the plan.
Kaufman Rossin Wealth will continue to work with plans to monitor plan investments, provide fiduciary
plan advice including regular considerations of the goals and objectives of the plan, and provide
participant education services to the plan.
