A. Firm Information
Litvak Wealth, LLC (“Litvak” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commision and is organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) under the laws of the State of
Delaware. Litvak was founded in May 2014 and is primarily owned by Litvak & Company LLC. Ricardo Litvak
(Founder and Chief Executive Officer) is the majority owner of Litvak & Company LLC. Litvak is operated by Mr.
Litvak, Juliana Fajardo (Chief Operating Officer and Chief Compliance Officer) and Jeffrey Boris (Chief
Investment Officer and Head of Investments and Research) (collectively the “Principal Officers”). This Disclosure
Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services
provided by the Advisor.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Litvak offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, personal trusts and estates
(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. Litvak’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
Litvak provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous
personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary and non-discretionary investment
management and consulting services. Litvak works with each Client to identify their investment goals and
objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. Litvak will then
construct a customized portfolio, consisting of low-cost, diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds
(“ETFs”), individual equity securities, fixed income products and alternative investments to achieve the Client’s
investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize individual stocks, bonds and other investment vehicles to meet
the needs of its Clients.
Litvak’s investment approach is 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. Litvak
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.
Litvak evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. Litvak may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the
portfolio. Litvak 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. Litvak 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, 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.
Limited Scope - Litvak may also provide customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients in a limited
scope capacity, where Litvak does not have access and authority to execute trades on behalf of the Client. In
these relationships, Litvak will provide regular and continuous oversight and make recommendations on how to
manage Client assets as described above, reporting services, and assist with administrative changes in the
account by coordinating with the related Custodian. Litvak
would also provide feedback to the Client should any
expected transactions or updates not reconcile to the expectations of Litvak or the Client and coordinate with the
Custodian to resolve any issues that arise.

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.
At no time will Litvak 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 their designated account[s] at the
Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the Client investment advisory agreement, please see Item 12 – Brokerage
Practices.
Use of Independent Managers
When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, Litvak will recommend that a Client utilize one or more
unaffiliated investment managers or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a
portion of a Client’s investment portfolio, based on the Client’s needs and objectives. In such instances, the
Client may be required to authorize and enter into an investment management agreement with the Independent
Manager[s] that defines the terms in which the Independent Manager[s] will provide its services. The Advisor will
perform initial and ongoing oversight and due diligence over each Independent Manager to ensure the strategy
remains aligned with the Clients investment objectives and overall best interests. The Advisor will also assist the
Client in the development of the initial policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship.
The Client, prior to entering into an agreement with an Independent Manager, will be provided with the
Independent Manager's Form ADV 2A (or a brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures).
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Litvak to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into an
investment advisory agreement with the Advisor that defines the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities
of the Advisor and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – Litvak, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that
seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Litvak 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 – Litvak will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated
goals and objectives of the Client.
• Investment Management and Supervision – Litvak will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Litvak does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are
provided directly by Litvak.
