Portfolio Management Services
Rehmann Capital Advisory Group, LLC has relationships with multiple custodians (i.e. Fidelity
Institutional Wealth Services ("Fidelity"), TD Ameritrade, and National Trust Advisory Company
(“NATC”). This allows our Advisors to design a program or plan matched to your stated objectives and
needs. The investment advisory services offered may vary from each of our Advisors. We do not have
any proprietary products or funds. Rather, each Advisor provides you with their unique approach to your
needs.
Some of our Advisors manage their own portfolios. They will have discussions with you regarding,
among other things: your investment objectives, risk tolerance, investment time horizon, account
restrictions, and overall financial situation. Based on this information, your Advisor will either construct a
customized portfolio for you or utilize one of the models they have constructed and manage. These
portfolios may consist of mutual funds, exchange traded funds, equities, options, debt securities, variable
life, variable annuity sub-accounts (certain restrictions may apply) and/or other investments.
Our Advisors also work with Rehmann Capital Management Group (RCMG), our in-house investment
team of managers that construct and monitor managed asset allocation models. These models are
diversified across various investment styles and strategies. The portfolios typically consist of mutual
funds, exchange-traded funds, equities, options, and/or debt securities.
We offer both discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management services to our clients. Please
reference Item 16: Investment Discretion for more information pertaining to this subject.
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of securities, or
industry sectors. For example, some clients have asked that we not purchase tobacco or alcohol securities
in their accounts. Just provide us with a written request and, if possible, we will accommodate your
request.
We recommend that all our clients work with a qualified attorney and/or tax professional. With your
written permission, we will be glad to work with your current legal adviser or tax professional with
respect to any estate planning and tax planning recommendations that we make to you.
We are not qualified to, and do not provide legal, tax or accounting advice. We also do not prepare legal
documents for you. The only exception to this would be if your Advisor is also a dually licensed attorney
or accountant in the state where you live. Your personal attorney will be solely responsible for providing
legal advice, legal opinions, legal determinations, and legal documents. Your personal tax adviser or
accountant will be solely responsible for any tax or accounting services provided to you.
We do not participate in wrap fee programs.
ERISA Plan Consulting and Advising
Rehmann Capital Advisory Group, LLC provides consulting and advisory services for employer-
sponsored retirement plans in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”).
Rehmann Capital Advisory Group, LLC 5 March 15, 2024
The services provided are ERISA 3(21) and 3(38) fiduciary services depending on the desires of the plan
sponsor.
Both 3(21) and 3(38) advisors accept fiduciary responsibility and adhere to ERISA 404(a)’s duty to act
in good faith and with
the degree of diligence, care, and skill that a prudent person rendering similar
services would exercise under similar circumstances. Plan sponsors retain the responsibility to select
and monitor the advisor, regardless of their advisor’s fiduciary status. These services are provided on
a discretionary basis for ERISA 3(38) services and a non-discretionary basis for ERISA 3(21) services.
Under a 3(21) fiduciary advisory arrangement we will assist in the drafting of the investment policy
statement (IPS), help design initial fund menu, monitor the selected investments, provide participant
education, and provide guidance throughout the fiduciary process. As an ERISA Section 3(21)
fiduciary, we do not have authority to make and implement fiduciary decisions for the plan. The plan
sponsor is responsible for the selection and monitoring of the 3(21) investment manager and
implementation of any of the 3(21) investment manager’s investment recommendations, and assumes
responsibility and liability for any overriding decisions made by the plan sponsor.
Plan Sponsors or trustees may also elect to appoint Rehmann Capital Advisory Group, LLC as a 3(38)
fiduciary investment manager. Under this arrangement, we draft the IPS, accept discretion over plan
assets, and assume full responsibility and liability for fiduciary functions related to the investment options
available to plan participants and the ongoing monitoring and documentation requirements under ERISA.
Access to Third Party Managers
Some of the programs we offer will use the services of third-party money managers as sub-advisors. If
your Advisor chooses this option, they will select a manager whose style and talent best fit your
individual needs and objectives. Your agreement with us gives us the authority to hire or fire these
managers on your behalf. Once a manager is selected, your Advisor will continue to monitor their
performance. If our services to you include the use of these managers, you will typically sign an
agreement with them in addition to the advisory agreement you will sign with us.
If you are interested in learning more about any of these third-party managers and their services, a
complete description of their programs, services, fees, payment structure and termination features are
found in their service disclosure brochures, investment advisory contracts, and account opening
documents.
Our advisory responsibility is to select and monitor any third-party manager that provides services to us.
Factors that we consider in their selection include:
• Their size
• How long they have been in business
• The experience level and turnover of their portfolio managers
• A review of their historical performance and risk measurements
• A review of their disclosure documents
Rehmann Capital Advisory Group, LLC 6 March 15, 2024
In deciding to use a third party to manage your assets, we consider your risk tolerance, goals, objectives,
time horizons, and general financial situation. We also consider your level of investment experience and
the assets you have available for investment.
If you were to go to these third-party managers on your own, the fees they charge you may be more or
less than going through us. However, when using their services directly, you will not receive our expertise
in developing an investment strategy, selecting the managers to use, monitoring the performance of your
account, and changing managers if needed.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning and consulting services may include tax-related and other non-investment related
matters, including educational services. The plan we develop for you will likely include general and
specific recommendations for courses of action.
We provide one-time financial planning services that include a review of your financial circumstances,
financial goals, and a written report of recommendations. A full financial plan normally covers:
• Present and anticipated assets and liabilities
• Insurance needs
• Savings needs
• Investments
• Anticipated retirement resources and needs
• Other employee benefits
We also offer modular financial plans. For example, if all you are looking for are college funding
projections or a cash flow analysis, we will prepare a modular financial plan for you specific to these
topics.

some of these non-discretionary investment advisory services.
