As a registered investment adviser subject to Section 206 of the Advisers Act, Members’ Wealth

Wealth has an obligation to act in the best interest of its clients guided by the core fiduciary duties

Advisory Services
Investment Management Services
Clients can engage Members’ Wealth to provide investment management services for all or a
portion of their assets on a discretionary basis.
Members’ Wealth offers asset management services based on the individual needs of the Client
by providing ongoing investment advice and management on assets in the Client’s account.
Members’ Wealth will conduct in-depth interviews with wealth management clients in order to
evaluate topics such as investments and other assets, business/career situation, insurance, risk
management, retirement, education, estate planning, debt management, tax, and cash flow
needs of the client. Members’ Wealth will then discuss the results of the evaluation with the
client to determine how Members’ Wealth can help the client take action to address the client’s
goals and objectives. Members’ Wealth will purchase and sell various types of investments, such
as mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), equities, options, and fixed income securities.
Clients can impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or groups of securities by
indicating in the written advisory agreement with Members’ Wealth.
IRA Rollovers
Investors considering rolling over assets from a qualified employer-sponsored retirement plan
(“Employer Plan”) to an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”) should review and consider the
advantages and disadvantages of an IRA rollover from their Employer Plan. A plan participant
leaving an employer typically has four options (and can engage in a combination of these
options):
(1) Leave the money in the former employer’s plan, if permitted;
(2) Rollover the assets to a new employer’s
plan (if available and rollovers are permitted);
(3) Rollover Employer Plan assets to an IRA; or,
(4) Cash out the Employer Plan assets and pay the required taxes on the distribution.
At a minimum, Investors should consider fees and expenses, investment options, services,
penalty-free withdrawals, protection from creditors and legal judgments, required minimum
distributions, and employer stock. Members’ Wealth encourages you to discuss your options and
review the above-listed considerations with an accountant, third-party administrator, investment
adviser to your Employer Plan (if available), or legal counsel, to the extent you consider necessary.
By recommending that you rollover your Employer Plan assets to an IRA advised by Members’
Wealth, we will earn fees as a result. In contrast, leaving assets in your Employer Plan or rolling
the assets to a plan sponsored by your new employer likely results in little or no compensation
to Members’ Wealth. Members’ Wealth has an economic incentive to encourage investors to
rollover Employer Plan assets into an IRA managed by Members’ Wealth. Investors can face
increased fees when they move retirement assets from an Employer Plan to a Rollover IRA
account. Even if there are no costs associated with the IRA rollover itself, there will be costs
associated with account administration, investment management, or both. In addition to the
fees charged by Members’ Wealth, the underlying investment (mutual fund, ETF, annuity, or
other investment) can also include fees. Custodial and trading fees also apply. Investing in an
IRA with Members’ Wealth will typically be more expensive than an Employer Plan.
As of October 25, 2023, Members’ Wealth had $103,135,298 in regulatory assets under
management.
Employer Benefits
We offer consulting services to employers as a benefit to their employees. These services are
based upon the needs of the employees and the services requested by the employer. In general,
these services will include advice regarding fund selection, investment options, and financial
plans. These services will generally be non-discretionary and advisory in nature. Should any
employee of a company to whom we offer these services decide to become a client, that
employee would need to complete an investment management agreement with Members’
Wealth.
