A. Description of the Advisory Firm
Broadway Advisor Group, LLC dba Sgroi Wealth (hereinafter “BAG”) is a Limited
Liability Company organized in the State of New York. The firm was formed in October
2022, and the principal owners are Jason Michael Sgroi and Michael Anthony Sgroi.
B. Types of Advisory Services
Portfolio Management Services
BAG offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals,
objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. BAG creates an Investment
Policy Statement for each client, which outlines the client’s current situation (income, tax
levels, and risk tolerance levels). Portfolio management services include, but are not
limited to, the following:
• Investment strategy • Personal investment policy
• Asset allocation • Asset selection
• Risk tolerance • Regular portfolio monitoring
BAG evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance
levels and time horizon. BAG will request discretionary authority from clients in order to
select securities and execute transactions without permission from the client prior to each
transaction. Risk tolerance levels are documented in the Investment Policy Statement,
which is given to each client.
BAG seeks to provide that investment decisions are made in accordance with the fiduciary
duties owed to its accounts and without consideration of BAG’s economic, investment or
other financial interests. To meet its fiduciary obligations, BAG attempts to avoid, among
other things, investment or trading practices that systematically advantage or
disadvantage certain client portfolios, and accordingly, BAG’s policy is to seek fair and
equitable allocation of investment opportunities/transactions among its clients to avoid
favoring one client over another over time. It is BAG’s policy to allocate investment
opportunities and transactions it identifies as being appropriate and prudent, including
initial public offerings ("IPOs") and other investment opportunities that might have a
limited supply, among its clients on a fair and equitable basis over time.
BAG has discretion to choose third-party investment advisers to manage all or a portion
of the client's assets. Before selecting other advisers for clients, BAG will always ensure
those other advisers are properly licensed or registered as an investment adviser. BAG
conducts due diligence on any third-party investment adviser, which may involve one or
more of the following: phone calls, meetings and review of the third-party adviser's
performance and investment strategy. BAG then makes investments with a third-party
investment adviser by investing with the third-party adviser. These investments may be
allocated either through the third-party adviser's fund or through a separately managed
account managed by such third party adviser on behalf of BAG's client. BAG may also
allocate among one or more private equity funds or private equity fund advisers. BAG
will review the ongoing performance of the third-party adviser as a portion of the client's
portfolio.
Pension Consulting Services
BAG offers consulting services to pension or other employee benefit plans (including but
not limited to 401(k) plans). Pension consulting may include, but is not limited to:
• identifying investment objectives and restrictions
• providing guidance on various assets classes and investment options
• recommending money managers to manage plan assets in ways designed
to achieve objectives
• monitoring performance of money managers and investment options and
making recommendations for changes
• recommending other service providers, such as custodians, administrators
and
broker-dealers
• creating a written pension consulting plan
These services are based on the goals, objectives, demographics, time horizon, and/or risk
tolerance of the plan and its participants.
Financial Planning
Financial plans and financial planning may include but are not limited to: investment
planning; life insurance; tax concerns; retirement planning; college planning; and
debt/credit planning.
Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments
BAG generally limits its investment advice to mutual funds, fixed income securities, real
estate funds (including REITs), insurance products including annuities, equities, hedge
funds, private equity funds, ETFs (including ETFs in the gold and precious metal sectors),
treasury inflation protected/inflation linked bonds, commodities, non-U.S. securities,
venture capital funds and private placements. BAG may use other securities as well to
help diversify a portfolio when applicable.
Written Acknowledgement of Fiduciary Status
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
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue 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:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations
(give prudent advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations
(give loyal advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in
your best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
BAG offers the same suite of services to all of its clients. However, specific client
investment strategies and their implementation are dependent upon the client Investment
Policy Statement which outlines each client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk
tolerance levels). Clients may impose restrictions in investing in certain securities or types
of securities in accordance with their values or beliefs. However, if the restrictions prevent
BAG from properly servicing the client account, or if the restrictions would require BAG
to deviate from its standard suite of services, BAG reserves the right to end the
relationship.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
BAG acts as portfolio manager for and sponsor of a wrap fee program, which is an
investment program where the client pays one stated fee that includes management fees,
transaction costs, and certain other administrative fees. However, this brochure describes
BAG’s non-wrap fee advisory services; clients utilizing BAG’s wrap fee portfolio
management should see BAG’s separate Wrap Fee Program Brochure. BAG manages the
investments in the wrap fee program, but does not manage those wrap fee accounts any
differently than it would manage non-wrap fee accounts. BAG receives the advisory fee
set forth in Item 5 below as a management fee under the wrap fee program. Please also
see Item 5 and Item 12 of this brochure.
E. Assets Under Management
BAG has the following assets under management:
