Financial Planning Services
We offer broad-based financial planning services regarding management of financial resources based upon an
analysis of the client’s individual needs. We will meet with you to gather information about your financial
circumstances and objectives. Once we collect and analyse the documentation and information you provide, we
work with you to develop a financial plan designed to help you achieve your financial goals and objectives. In this
way, AMG assists the client in developing a strategy for the management of income, assets, and liabilities. In
general, financial planning services may include any one or all of the following:
• Cash Flow Analysis – Assessment of a client’s present financial situation by collecting information
regarding net worth and cash flow statements, tax returns, insurance policies, investment portfolios,
pension plans, employee benefit statements, etc. The firm advises on ways to reduce risk, coordinate, and
organize records and estate information.
• Tax Analysis and Planning - The goal of tax planning is to arrange your financial affairs so as to minimize
your taxes. There are three basic ways to reduce your taxes, and each basic method might have several
variations. You can reduce your income, increase your deductions, and take advantage of tax credits.
• Retirement Analysis – Identification of a client’s long-term financial and personal goals and objectives
includes advice for accumulating wealth for retirement income or appropriate distribution of assets
following retirement. Tax consequences and implications are identified and evaluated.
• Portfolio Analysis/Investment Planning – We provide investment alternatives, including asset allocation,
and effect on a client’s portfolio. We evaluate economic and tax characteristics of existing investments as
well as their suitability for a client’s objectives. We identify and evaluate tax consequences and their
implications.
• Insurance Analysis – Includes risk management associated with advisory recommendations based on a
combination of insurance types to meet a client’s needs, e.g., life, health, disability, and long-term care
insurance. This will necessitate an analysis of cash needs of family at death, income needs of surviving
dependents, and disability income analysis.
• Education Savings Analysis – Alternatives and strategies with respect to the complete or partial funding of
college or other post-secondary education.
• Estate Analysis – Advising Clients with respect to property ownership, distribution strategies, estate tax
reduction, and tax payment techniques.
Financial plans are based on a client’s financial situation based on the information provided to the firm. The
recommendations and solutions are designed to achieve the client’s desired goals, subject to periodic evaluation
of the financial plan, which may require revision to meet changing circumstances. Clients are advised to notify us
promptly of any change to a client’s financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs.
You may choose to accept or reject our recommendations. If you decide to proceed with our recommendations,
you may do so either through our investment advisory services or by using the advisory/brokerage firm of your
choice.
In some cases, our recommendations will involve the purchase of insurance products. AMG is affiliated with
Andrew Nida, LLC and Senior Care Solutions, LLC through common ownership and control. Both firms are licensed
insurance agencies. Additionally, Associated Persons of AMG are licensed insurance agents. Andrew Nida, LLC,
Senior Care Solutions, LLC, and our dually licensed Associated Persons can effect transactions in insurance
products and earn commission based compensation for these activities. Clients should be aware that a conflict of
interest is inherent in such an arrangement. Clients are instructed that the fees paid to the firm for advisory
services are separate and distinct from the commissions earned by our affiliates and our dually licensed Associated
Persons. Clients of AMG are not required to purchase insurance products from Andrew Nida, LLC, Senior Care
Solutions, LLC, or the firm’s dually licensed Associated Persons, and can purchase insurance products from any
insurance agency and agent they choose.
Note: Information related legal consequences that is provided as part of the financial plan is for informative
purposes only. Clients are instructed to contact their legal advisers for personalized advice.
Portfolio Management Services
Our firm offers discretionary portfolio management services to our clients. Discretionary portfolio management
means we will make investment decisions and place buy or sell orders in your account without contacting you prior
to each transaction. These decisions would be made based upon your stated investment objectives. If you wish,
you may limit our discretionary authority by, for example, setting a limit on the type of securities that can be
purchased for your portfolio. Simply provide us with your restrictions or guidelines in writing.
Our investment advice is
tailored to meet our clients’ needs and investment objectives. If you decide to hire our
firm to assist you with the management of your portfolio, an Associated Person of AMG will meet with you and
gather information about your financial situation, investment objectives, and any reasonable restrictions you
would like to impose on the management of the account. The information we gather will help us implement an
asset allocation strategy that will be specific to your needs and goals.
Currently, our asset allocation and advisory services are offered in conjunction with a sub adviser. The sub adviser
assists our firm with back-office support, trading, report preparation, and billing. We use model portfolios
developed by the sub adviser and/or other registered investment advisers. These other investment advisers are
responsible for the research and security selection within model portfolios, day-to-day trading, billing calculation,
and other back-office operations. AMG is responsible for the supervision of the account, portfolio reallocations
and rebalancing, and ongoing client interaction and servicing. At this time, AMG uses the following sub advisers:
Foundations Investment Advisors LLC (CRD# 175083): Foundations Investment Advisors LLC gives us access to its
proprietary portfolio models, along with models provided or managed by Cabana Asset Management, Frontier
Wealth Management, Morningstar Investment Management, BlackRock Solutions, among others. All disclosure
information about these entities is available on the SEC’s public disclosure site
, www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. All clients
will be provided with a current copy of Foundations Investment Advisors LLC’s Form ADV Part 2 Brochure at the
inception of service. This document provides important disclosures about Foundations Investment Advisors LLC’s
services, portfolio models, fees, conflicts of interest, disciplinary history (if any), and other important information
that would help clients understand the scope of sub advisory services provided by Foundations Investment
Advisors LLC.
Orion Portfolio Solutions, LLC (CRD# 107975): Orion Portfolio Solutions, LLC (“Orion”) offers advisory services to us
that consist of access to asset allocation models designed and developed by Orion Portfolio Solutions, LLC or third
party investment managers (Strategists). The Strategists manage the models and are responsible for trading the
portfolios. Orion Portfolio Solutions, LLC will manage the assets according to the selected portfolio strategy.
Ultimately, AMG is responsible for determining the specific model, allocation, and/or manager selection, as well as
the regular monitoring and supervision of the account. Clients are provided with a current copy of Orion Portfolio
Solutions, LLC’s Form ADV Part 2 Wrap Fee Brochure at the inception of service.
All accounts are managed in accordance with the client’s investment needs. Investments may include various types
of securities such as equity securities, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), mutual funds, corporate debt securities,
commercial paper, certificates of deposit, municipal securities, and U.S. Government securities. Other types of
investments may also be recommended where such investments are appropriate based on the client’s stated goals
and objectives.
Investments and allocations are determined and based upon the client’s predefined objectives, risk tolerance, time
horizon, financial horizon, financial information, and other various suitability factors. Further restrictions and
guidelines imposed by the client may affect the composition and performance of a client’s portfolio. For these
reasons, performance of the portfolio may not be identical to other clients of AMG. On an ongoing basis, AMG
reviews the client’s financial circumstances and investment objectives, and instructs the sub adviser to make the
necessary adjustments to the client’s portfolio.
Clients are advised to provide the firm with prompt notice of any changes in their personal financial circumstances,
investment objectives, goals, and tolerance for risk. However, AMG will contact the client at least annually to
determine whether there have been any changes in the client's personal financial circumstances, investment
objectives, and tolerance for risk.
Wrap Fee Programs
A wrap fee program combines asset management, advisory services, and trade execution for a single fee. We do
not sponsor or manage any wrap fee programs. Our portfolio management fees are exclusive of, and in addition
to, brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses, which will be incurred by the
client. However, we will not receive any portion of the commissions, fees, and costs. Please see Item 5 below for
information regarding additional fees and Item 12 below for further information on brokerage practices, fees, and
