A. Description of the Advisory Firm
Networth Advisors, LLC (hereinafter “NAL”) is a Limited Liability Company organized in the
State of Pennsylvania. The firm became registered as an investment adviser under the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 2021 and transitioned to an SEC registered Investment
Adviser in 2023. The principal owner is Beth Andrews.
B. Types of Advisory Services
Portfolio Management Services
NAL offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals, objectives,
time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. NAL creates an Investment Policy Statement for
each client, which outlines the client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance
levels) and then constructs a plan to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches each client's
specific situation. 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
NAL evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance levels
and time horizon. Risk tolerance levels are documented in the Investment Policy Statement,
which is given to each client.
NAL seeks to provide that investment decisions are made in accordance with the fiduciary duties
owed to its accounts and without consideration of NAL’s economic, investment or other financial
interests. To meet its fiduciary obligations, NAL attempts to avoid, among other things,
investment or trading practices that systematically advantage or disadvantage certain client
portfolios, and accordingly, NAL’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 NAL’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.
Selection of Other Advisers
Using a platform offered by AE Wealth Management, LLC, a registered investment adviser, NAL
may select model portfolios managed by third-party investment advisers for all or a portion of
the client's assets. Before selecting model portfolios, NAL will always ensure those other advisers
are properly licensed or registered as an investment adviser.
Financial Planning
Financial plans and financial planning may include, but are not limited to: investment planning;
life insurance; tax concerns; retirement planning; education planning; health care; legacy and
debt/credit planning.
Workshops and Educational Seminars

NAL does not offer individualized advice during seminars. Examples of topics covered include
the objectives of retirement planning and wealth management. NAL does not charge fees to

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
NAL will tailor a program for each individual client. This will include an interview session to get
to know the client’s specific needs and requirements as well as a plan that will be executed by
NAL on behalf of the client. NAL may use model allocations together with a specific set of
recommendations for each client based on their personal restrictions, needs, and targets. Clients
may not impose restrictions in investing in certain securities or types of securities in accordance
with their values or beliefs.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
NAL acts as portfolio manager in a wrap fee program sponsored by AE Wealth Management,
LLC. A wrap fee program is an investment program where the client pays one stated fee that
includes management fees and transaction costs. Clients with accounts in the wrap fee program
will receive AE Wealth Management, LLC’s separate Wrap Fee Program Brochure. NAL 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.
