Starlight Portfolios
Starlight Portfolios is a division of TLG Advisors that provides web-based advisory services direct to
consumer and through solicitors. The portfolios are composed of passive and active mutual funds.
Portfolio recommendations are made based upon answers to a risk tolerance questionnaire, with the
investment objectives falling into capital appreciation, capital preservation or income. Starlight Portfolios
manages its portfolios across six to 12 risk classes depending on custodian, and three fund management
styles (active, passive, or a blend). The portfolio a client invests in is contingent on their answers to the
risk questionnaire and their preferences, if any, to active or passive management with respect to the fund
managers. The portfolios themselves are reviewed and may be updated quarterly based on changes in
investment research and fund performance. The research used to determine the allocations is based on
strategic allocations with tactical moves as prescribed by market conditions.
Each fund chosen for the
portfolio is screened for several factors including expense ratio, standard deviation, fiduciary score, sharp
ratio, alpha, and return.
Types of Investments
The programs used by TLG Advisors, Inc. advisors include asset management programs, using primarily
mutual funds, collective trust funds, exchange traded funds, exchange-listed securities, over-the-counter
securities, private equity, United States government securities, Municipal securities, variable and fixed
life insurance and variable and fixed annuities, but is certainly capable of providing advice on a host of
other investment types as well. Advisors may prepare written financial plans for Clients for a fee.
Client Assets
The Firm advises approximately $1,660,000,000 in client assets as of December 31, 2023. All of that
amount is discretionary at the advisor or sub-advisor level, meaning each client gives permission for the
advisor or sub-advisor to make purchase and sell decisions.
Non-managed courtesy account services
In some circumstances, TLGA may enter into a relationship with the Client to facilitate the custody of
Client assets at a TLGA-approved custodian without providing investment management services or
advice. Such accounts are referred to as Non-Managed Courtesy Accounts. In these cases, TLGA and its
IARs help facilitate the opening and maintenance of the Client’s account, including transfers of securities
and cash or cash equivalents, as directed by Client. Advisor will not direct the investment or reinvestment
of the assets in Client’s account, nor exercise any discretion on the account. Any trades placed by Advisor
in the Account will be solely on a non-solicited, non-discretionary basis, as requested by Client.
Because of Advisor’s limited role, Advisor is not responsible for ensuring that the investments made in
the Account conform to the Client’s financial circumstances, investment objectives, investment time
horizon, and risk tolerance, even if such information is available to Advisor within the TLGA New
Account Form. However, the Advisor may assist Client procedurally in imposing guidelines and/or
restrictions (if any) that have been provided by the Client below. Such guidelines and restrictions may be
amended or supplemented from time to time by agreement of the parties and in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement.
