Asset Management Services
SPI offers discretionary and non-discretionary continuous asset management services. Our investment
advice is tailored to meet the needs and investment objectives of SPI's client. SPI offers initial
consultations and request pertinent information about a client's personal and financial circumstances to
determine the best suitable investment objectives.
Where SPI enters into a discretionary asset management agreement with a client, SPI is granted
discretion and authority to manage a client's account subject to any client specific written guidelines.
Accordingly, SPI is authorized to perform various functions without further approval from the client.
Such functions may include the determination and amount of securities and/or mutual funds to be
purchased and/or sold. Once a portfolio is constructed, SPI provides ongoing portfolio supervision and
rebalancing as changes in market conditions and client circumstances may require. For non-
discretionary asset management services, SPI monitors a client's assets and provides
recommendations as to a client's asset allocation. A client is free at all times to accept or reject any
investment recommendations and SPI shall implement its recommendations only upon obtaining client
approval.
All employees providing investment advisory services & advice to clients must have passed the Series
65 or Series 7 and 66 securities examination administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority. Equivalent Professional Designations such as CFP, CFA will also be considered.
IRA Rollover Recommendations
Effective December 20, 2021 (or such later date as the US Department of Labor ("DOL") Field
Assistance Bulletin 2018-02 ceases to be in effect), for purposes of complying with the DOL's
Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 ("PTE 2020-02"). 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;
4
•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.
We benefit financially from the rollover of your assets from a retirement account to an account that we
manage or provide investment advice, because the assets increase our assets under management
and, in turn, our advisory fees. As a fiduciary, we only recommend a rollover when we believe it is in
your best interest.
As of 12/31/2023, total discretionary accounts equal 822 with assets under management of
approximately $163,149,923. Secure Planning, LLC currently has no non-discretionary accounts.

Financial Planning Services
SPI offers financial planning and consulting services for a fee. SPI's services are advisory in nature,
with respect to the management of client's financial resources. Financial plans are based on the
client's financial situation at the time the plan is presented and on financial information disclosed by a
client to SPI.
Clients are advised that certain assumptions may be made with respect to interest and inflation rates
and use of past trends and performance of the market and economy.
Past performance is in no way an indication of future performance. SPI cannot offer any guarantees or
promises that the client's financial goals and objectives will be met.
Should a client's financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs change, the client must notify SPI
promptly.
Financial planning and consulting arrangements may provide, but not limited to, the following:
•After an individual client analysis is conducted and a client approves SPI for its financial
planning services, an IAR will conduct follow up meetings to collect additional information about
the client's financial circumstances and objectives;
•Once client suitability and financial objectives information is reviewed and analyzed, a financial
plan may be presented to the client;
•A client may act on SPI's recommendations by placing securities transactions with any
brokerage firm the client determines and is under no obligation to act on SPI's financial
planning recommendations; and
•Should a client act on any of SPI's recommendations, there is no obligation to implement the
financial plan through SPI.
