A. Firm Information
NestEgg Advisors, Inc. (“NestEgg” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a Corporation under the laws
of the State of New York. NestEgg was founded in March 1996 and is owned and operated by Buddy
Levy (President and Chief Compliance Officer). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding
the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by NestEgg.
B. Advisory Services Offered
NestEgg offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
businesses, and retirement plans (each referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a
fiduciary, the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to
mitigate potential conflicts of interest. NestEgg's fiduciary commitment is further described in the
Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code
of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Investment Management Services
NestEgg provides customized investment management services for its Clients. This is achieved through
continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management
and related advisory services. NestEgg works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals,
objectives, risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. NestEgg will then
construct an investment portfolio, consisting of mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to
achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize individual stocks, bonds or options
contracts to meet the needs of its Clients. The Advisor may retain other types of investments based on
portfolio fit and/or tax considerations.
NestEgg’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or
re-allocate positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due
to market conditions. NestEgg will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the
goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the
opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective
portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Advisor.
NestEgg evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its
internal due diligence process. NestEgg may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment
allocations to diversify the portfolio. NestEgg may recommend specific positions to increase sector or
asset class weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge
against market movement.
NestEgg may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting
capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities,
Page 4
overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client,
generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
At no time will NestEgg accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited
authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated
account[s] at the Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 –
Brokerage Practices.
Retirement Accounts– When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA
retirement accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the
meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal
Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be
in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution
from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar
transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to another, one IRA to another IRA, or
from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account to fee-based account). Such
a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn
a new (or increase its current)
advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a retirement
account to an account managed by the Advisor.
Financial Planning Services
NestEgg will provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients as part of its
investment management services. NestEgg may also provide standalone financial planning services
pursuant to a written financial planning agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s
financial situation, depending on their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services
involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific 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, investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education
savings, insurance needs and other areas of a Client’s financial situation. NestEgg may also conduct
educational courses and workshops on financial planning.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually 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.
NestEgg may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their
unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary
of the Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc
engagements, the Advisor may not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically
completed within six (6) months of contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are
provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor
and the interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients
Page 5
engage the Advisor for investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with
the Advisor, as it would increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not
obligated to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship
with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the
Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through the Advisor.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging NestEgg to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into
one or more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities
of the Advisor and the Client. These services may include:
●Establishing an Investment Strategy – NestEgg, in connection with the Client, will develop a
strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
●Asset Allocation – NestEgg will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
●Portfolio Construction – NestEgg will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet
the stated goals and objectives of the Client.
●Investment Management and Supervision – NestEgg will provide investment management and
ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
NestEgg includes securities transaction fees together with its investment advisory fees. Including these
fees into a single asset-based fee is considered a “Wrap Fee Program”. The Advisor customizes its
investment management services for its Clients. The Advisor sponsors the NestEgg Wrap Fee Program
solely as a supplemental disclosure regarding the combination of fees. Depending on the level of trading
required for the Client’s account[s] in a particular year, the Client may pay more or less in total fees than
if the Client paid its own securities transaction fees. Please see Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program
Brochure, which is included as a supplement to this Disclosure Brochure.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2023, NestEgg manages $183,551,000 in Client assets, all of which is managed on a
discretionary basis. Clients may request current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
