B. Types of Advisory Services
Terra Wealth provides holistic and personalized financial planning and discretionary and non-
discretionary investment advisory services to individuals, including high net worth individuals,
and entities, including, but not limited to, family offices, trusts, estates, private foundations, and
qualified retirement plans.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
Terra Wealth may provide a variety of comprehensive financial planning and consulting
services to clients. Such engagements may be part of the investment advisory engagement
or pursuant to a separate engagement. Generally, such financial planning services will
involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial consultation based on the
client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one
or more areas of need, including, but not limited to cash flow analysis, investment
planning, retirement planning, estate planning, personal savings, educational savings, and
other areas of a client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for or financial consultation rendered to the client will
typically include general recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to
be taken by the client. For example, recommendations may be made that the client start
or revise their investment programs, commence or alter retirement savings, establish
education savings and/or charitable giving programs. Terra Wealth may recommend the
services of itself and/or other professionals to implement its recommendations. Clients
are advised that a conflict of interest exists if Terra Wealth recommends its own services,
as such a recommendation may increase the advisory fees paid to Terra Wealth. The
client is under no obligation to act upon any of the recommendations made by Terra
Wealth under a financial planning or consulting engagement to engage the services of any
such recommended professional, including Terra Wealth itself.
Investment Management Services
In designing and implementing customized models and portfolio strategies, Terra Wealth can
manage, on a discretionary or nondiscretionary basis, a range of investment strategies and vehicles.
Terra Wealth primarily allocates client assets among various collective investment vehicles such
mutual
funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), variable and fixed annuities in accordance with
clients’ stated investment objectives.
Terra Wealth may further recommend to clients that all or a portion of their investment portfolio
be managed on a discretionary basis by one or more unaffiliated money managers or investment
platforms (“External Managers”). The client may be required to enter into a separate agreement
with the External Manager(s), which will set forth the terms and conditions of the client’s
engagement of the External Manager or will receive a Statement of Investment Selection in a single
contract relationship. Terra Wealth generally renders services to the client relative to the
discretionary selection of External Managers. Certain External Managers also provides option
overlay strategy solutions with exposure in marketable securities and/or ETFs, in order to provide
additional income potential while seeking to minimize volatility. The investment management fees
charged by the designated External Managers, together with the fees charged by the corresponding
designated broker-dealer/custodian of the client’s assets, may be exclusive of, and in addition to,
the annual advisory fee charged by Terra Wealth. The Advisor will perform initial and ongoing
oversight and due diligence over the selected External Manager[s] to ensure the External
Managers’ strategies and target allocations remain aligned with its clients’ investment objectives
and overall best interests. The Client, prior to entering into an agreement with unaffiliated
investment manager[s] or investment platform[s], will be provided with the External Manager's
Form ADV 2A and Form CRS (or a brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures).
C. Client-Tailored Advisory Services
Client portfolios are managed on the basis of individual clients’ financial situation and
investment objectives. Terra Wealth consults with clients on an initial and ongoing basis
to assess their specific risk tolerances, time horizon, liquidity constraints and other related
factors relevant to the management of their portfolios. If clients’ financial situations
change, or if their investment objectives or risk tolerances change, clients are advised to
promptly notify Terra Wealth of such changes. Clients may impose reasonable
restrictions on the management of their accounts if Terra Wealth determines, in its sole
discretion, that the conditions would not materially impact the performance of a
management strategy or prove overly burdensome for Terra Wealth ’s management
efforts.
D. Wrap Fee Program
Terra Wealth does not place Client assets in a wrap fee program.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2023, Terra Wealth manages $250,086,346 in assets under management, all
