Types of Advisory Services Offered
Comprehensive Portfolio Management:
As part of our Comprehensive Portfolio Management service clients will be provided asset
management and financial planning or consulting services. This service is designed to assist clients
in meeting their financial goals through the use of a financial plan or consultation. Our firm conducts
client meetings to understand their current financial situation, existing resources, financial goals, and
tolerance for risk. Based on what is learned, an investment approach is presented to the client,
consisting of individual stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds and other public investments. Once the
appropriate portfolio has been determined, portfolios are continuously and regularly monitored, and
if necessary, rebalanced based upon the client’s individual needs, stated goals and objectives. Upon
client request, our firm provides a summary of observations and recommendations for the planning
or consulting aspects of this service.
Financial Planning & Consulting:
Our firm provides a variety of standalone financial planning and consulting services to clients for the
management of financial resources based upon an analysis of current situation, goals, and objectives.
Financial planning services will typically involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial
consultation for clients based on the client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or
consulting may encompass Investment Planning, Retirement Planning, Estate Planning, Charitable
Planning, Education Planning, Corporate and Personal Tax Planning,
Cost Segregation Study,
Corporate Structure, Real Estate Analysis, Mortgage/Debt Analysis, Insurance Analysis, Lines of
Credit Evaluation, or Business and Personal Financial Planning.
Written financial plans or financial consultations rendered to clients usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the clients.
Implementation of the recommendations will be at the discretion of the client. Our firm provides
clients with a summary of their financial situation, and observations for financial planning
engagements. Financial consultations are not typically accompanied by a written summary of
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure Page 5 Dean Wealth Partners, LLC
observations and recommendations, as the process is less formal than the planning service.
Assuming that all the information and documents requested from the client are provided promptly,
plans or consultations are typically completed within 6 months of the client signing a contract with
our firm.
Asset Management:
As part of our Asset Management service, a portfolio is created, consisting of individual stocks, bonds,
exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), options, mutual funds and other public and private securities or
investments. The client’s individual investment strategy is tailored to their specific needs and may
include some or all of the previously mentioned securities. Portfolios will be designed to meet a
particular investment goal, determined to be suitable to the client’s circumstances. Once the appropriate
portfolio has been determined, portfolios are continuously and regularly monitored, and if necessary,
rebalanced based upon the client’s individual needs, stated goals and objectives.
Tailoring of Advisory Services
Our firm offers individualized investment advice to our Asset Management and Comprehensive
Portfolio Management clients. General investment advice will be offered to our Financial Planning &
Consulting clients.
Each Asset Management and Comprehensive Portfolio Management client has the opportunity to place
reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in the portfolio. Restrictions on
investments in certain securities or types of securities may not be possible due to the level of
difficulty this would entail in managing the account.
