We offer the following services to our clients:
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISORY SERVICES
Wingate Wealth Advisors, Inc. provides continuous advice regarding the investment of client
funds based on the individual needs of the client. During our data gathering process, we
determine the client's investment goals and objectives, including time horizons, risk tolerance,
and liquidity needs. We also review and discuss a client's prior investment experience, as well
as family composition and background. We then prepare a personal Investment Policy
Statement and create and manage a portfolio based on that Investment Policy Statement.
Wingate Wealth Advisors, Inc. primarily manages client accounts on a discretionary basis,
although we may accept non-discretionary accounts. Wingate Wealth Advisors, Inc. does not
have the authority to withdraw funds from client accounts, except to pay investment
management fees as authorized by the client.
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of
securities, or industry sectors.
Wingate Wealth Advisors, Inc. researches and selects third party money managers who are
primarily accessed through no-load mutual funds. Our investment recommendations will
generally include advice regarding the following securities:
Mutual fund shares
Exchange traded funds (ETF's)
Corporate securities
Municipal securities
United States government securities
Certificates of deposit
Because some types of investments involve additional degrees of risk, they will only be
implemented or recommended when consistent with the client's stated investment objectives,
tolerance for risk, liquidity and suitability.
In addition to investing in mutual funds and ETF's, Wingate Wealth Advisors, Inc. may also
place accounts with third party money managers, on a fully disclosed basis, either directly, or
through a registered investment adviser consultant firm. We select third party money
managers based on the client's individual needs as described in the client's Investment Policy
Statement and subject to the third party money manager's minimum account size
requirements. The fee for this service is as mutually agreed upon by the client, the third-party
investment manager, and Wingate Wealth Advisors, Inc..

$306,350,241 of clients' assets on a non-discretionary basis.
FINANCIAL
PLANNING SERVICES
Wingate Wealth Advisors, Inc. also provides financial planning services. Financial planning
typically includes a comprehensive evaluation of a client's current financial situation and
helping establish the client's goals and objectives. During a comprehensive Financial Planning
Review, we seek to identify and consider all of the factors that could impact the client's current
and future financial situation.
In general, the Financial Planning Review may address any or all of the following areas:
PERSONAL: We review the client's family situation and discuss financial goals and
objectives.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: We prepare a personal balance sheet, listing the client's
assets and liabilities.
CASH FLOW: We review the client's income and spending situation.
TAX PLANNING: We review the client's current and expected future tax situation with
the objective of identifying opportunities for tax savings.
ESTATE & DISABILITY FUNDING: We review the client's cash needs in the event of
disability or premature death.
INSURANCE: We review existing insurance policies for health, disability, life, long term
care, and property and casualty coverages.
ESTATE PLANNING: We assist the client in reviewing their estate plan, including, as
appropriate, revocable and irrevocable trusts, wills, estate tax planning, powers of
attorney, asset protection planning, assisted living and nursing home care, Medicaid
eligibility and elder law issues.
RETIREMENT PLANNING: We prepare a long term financial analysis projecting future
cash flows, asset values and withdrawal plans.
EDUCATION FUNDING: We assist the client in assessing and developing a strategy
and investment plan to meet education costs.
INVESTMENTS: We evaluate investment portfolios and their appropriateness for
meeting the client's goals and objectives.
We gather required information through in-depth personal interviews. Information gathered
includes the client's current financial status, tax status, future goals, return objectives and
attitudes towards risk. We carefully review documents supplied by the client, as well as
questionnaires and other financial information forms we provide to the client.
We will provide our financial planning recommendations to the client within six months of the
agreement date, provided that all information needed has been promptly provided. The client
will typically receive financial planning reports, schedules, and memoranda summarizing our
recommendations. Should the client choose to implement our recommendations, it is the
client's responsibility to work closely with his/her attorney, accountant, and insurance agent, as
appropriate. We are prepared to assist in the implementation of our recommendations, but
how this is carried out is entirely at the client's discretion.
Financial planning services are provided as requested by the client. A comprehensive
Financial Planning Review is recommended at the onset of the client engagement. The scope
of engagement and the topics to be covered will be discussed and agreed upon with the client.
The review may be comprehensive in nature, or focused on specific planning topics.
