A. Aligne Wealth Preservation & Insurance Services, LLC, doing business as Aligne Wealth Advisors Investment Management (“AWAIM”) (the “Adviser,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an investment adviser first registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in 2022, and principally owned by Ivan Illan.
B. Adviser primarily offers a suite of four (4) model portfolio solutions (each, a “Model Portfolio”) that strategically allocate towards equities, fixed income, and cash, as determined by its proprietary global, macroeconomic research and outlook.
More specifically, Adviser offers the following types of advisory services: i.Discretionary Investment Management. Adviser provides ongoing discretionary investment management services to its clients based upon each client’s current financial condition, goals, risk tolerance, income, liquidity requirements, investment time horizon, and other information that is relevant to the management of clients’ account(s). This information will then be used to make investment and Model Portfolio allocation decisions that reflect clients’ individual needs and objectives on an initial and ongoing basis.
Adviser’s investment decisions, through its Model Portfolios, will allocate portions of clients’ account(s) to various asset classes classified according to historical and projected risks and rates of return. Adviser will retain the discretion to buy, sell, or otherwise transact in securities and other investments in a client’s accounts without first receiving the client’s specific approval for each transaction. Such discretionary authority is granted by a client in his or her investment management agreement with Adviser. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities so long as such restrictions may reasonably be implemented by Adviser.
Adviser generally implements its investments strategy by allocating clients’ investable assets across a diversified risk-based portfolio of mutual funds and/or exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), but its Model Portfolios may include additional types of investments as well. The Model Portfolios are rebalanced periodically to remain in-line with the client’s agreed-upon asset allocation, though the asset allocation may be changed from time to time based on changes to a client’s specific situation.
ii.Financial Planning. When rendering financial planning services (which are provided in connection with investment management services), Adviser will evaluate and make recommendations with respect to various financial planning topics that are relevant to a particular client. Such topics can include, for example, retirement planning, education savings, cash flow management, debt reduction, estate planning, insurance needs, risk mitigation, tax planning, charitable giving strategies, and/or financial goal tracking.
Implementation of Adviser’s recommendations will be at the discretion of the client.
When rendering financial planning services, a conflict exists between Adviser’s interests and the interests of its clients; clients are under no obligation

to act upon Adviser’s financial planning recommendations. If a client elects to act on any of the recommendations made by Adviser, the client is under no obligation to effect the transaction through Adviser or any of its personnel.
iii.Pension Consulting Services. To the extent Adviser is retained by a pension or profit sharing plan (a “Plan”), Adviser shall review the Plan’s investment objectives, risk tolerance, and goals, and shall work in partnership with applicable third-parties (such as the Plan’s recordkeeper, third-party administrator, and/or discretionary investment manager) to establish an appropriate investment policy statement and deploy applicable investment options into the Plan’s account. Adviser shall periodically review the investment options available to the Plan and, if applicable, will make recommendations to assist the Plan with respect to the selection of the Plan’s qualified default investment alternative (“QDIA”). Adviser will provide reports, information and recommendations, on a reasonably requested basis, to assist the Plan in monitoring the selected investments. If elected by the Plan, Adviser may also provide various services related to the Plan’s governance, the education of Plan participants, and the review of other service providers to the Plan.
Adviser typically provides investment advice with respect to limited types of investments, which include mutual funds and ETFs.
C. Adviser does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
D. In connection with Plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) Adviser acknowledges that it is a fiduciary under ERISA and the Code, shall render prudent investment advice that is in Plan’s best interest, shall avoid making misleading statements, and shall receive no more than reasonable compensation. 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 ERISA and/or the 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: i.Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent advice); ii.Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice); iii.Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments; iv.Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest; v.Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and vi.Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
