Portfolio Management Services - Wrap Fee Program
AGH Wealth is the portfolio manager and sponsor of the AGH Wealth Wrap Fee Program. A wrap fee program
combines portfolio management, advisory services, and trade execution for a single fee. AGH Wealth, as portfolio
manager is responsible for the research, security selection, and implementation of transaction orders in the
Client's account. The transactions in the Client's account will be executed by and custodied at LPL Financial, LLC
(“LPL”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer, member SIPC. The Client pays AGH Wealth an all inclusive Wrap fee.
AGH Wealth pays LPL a portion of this fee for trade execution expenses. Detailed information about the AGH
Wealth Wrap Fee Program and program fees is provided in the Form ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 (Wrap Brochure)
that is attached to this Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure.
General Consulting Services
AGH Wealth provides general consulting services that focus on the specific needs and concerns of the client.
Advisory consulting services may include giving advice on investment and investment related matters. These
services include the identification of financial goals and objectives, collection and assessment of all relevant data,
identification of financial problems and formulation of solutions, and the preparation of a financial plan in the
form of specific written recommendations. The services we provide will typically focus on one or more of the
following areas:
Retirement Planning
Retirement Planning is a process of determining retirement income goals and the actions and decisions necessary
to achieve those goals. Retirement planning includes identifying sources of income, estimating expenses,
implementing a savings program and managing assets. Future cash flows are estimated to determine if the
retirement income goal will be achieved.
Tax Planning
The goal of tax planning is to arrange your financial affairs so as to minimize your taxes. There are three basic
ways to reduce your taxes, and each basic method might have several variations. You can reduce your income,
increase your deductions, and take advantage of tax credits.
Investment Planning
The goal of investment planning is to determine the investment mix and policy, matching investments to
objectives, asset allocation for individuals and institutions, and balancing risk against performance. The process
realizes strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks in the choice of debt vs. equity, domestic vs. international,
growth vs. safety, and many other tradeoffs encountered in the attempt to maximize return at a given risk.
Financial plans are based on your financial situation and the financial information you provide to our firm. If your
financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs change, you must notify us promptly.
You may choose to accept or reject our recommendations. If you decide to proceed with our recommendations,
you may do so either through our firm or by using the advisory/brokerage firm of your choice.
Retirement Plan Consulting Services
AGH Wealth provides several advisory services separately or in combination. While the primary clients for these
services will be pension, profit sharing and 401(k) plans, AGH Wealth will also offer these services, where
appropriate, to individuals and trusts, estates and charitable organizations. Retirement Plan consulting services
are comprised of four distinct services. Clients may choose to use any or all of these services.
Investment Policy Statement Preparation
AGH Wealth will meet with the client to determine investment needs and goals. AGH Wealth will prepare a
written Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) stating those needs and goals and creating a policy to help achieve
these goals. The IPS will also list the criteria for selection of investment vehicles and the procedures and timing
interval for monitoring of investment performance.
Selection of Investments
AGH Wealth will review various investments, consisting of one or all of the following: individual equities, bonds,
other investment products and mutual funds (both index and managed) to determine which of these investments
are appropriate to implement
the client's IPS. The number of investments to be recommended will be determined
by the client, based on the IPS.
Investment Performance Monitoring
Client investments will be monitored continuously based on the procedures and timing intervals outlined in the
IPS. Although AGH Wealth will not be involved in any way in the purchase or sale of these investments, AGH
Wealth will supervise the client's portfolio and will make recommendations to the client as market factors and
the client's needs dictate.
Employee Communications
For pension, profit sharing and 401(k) plans where the individual account participant exercises control over assets
in his/her own account (''self-directed plans''), AGH Wealth also provides educational support and investment
workshops designed for the Plan participants. The nature of the topics to be covered will be determined by AGH
Wealth and the client under the guidelines established in ERISA Section 404(c).
The educational support and investment workshops will also provide Plan participants with individualized,
tailored investment advice or individualized, tailored asset allocation recommendations.
Other retirement plan consulting services are available on request. All of our retirement plan consulting services,
whether general or customized, will be outlined in an agreement that shows exactly which services will be
provided and at what fee for those services.
All client retirement plans are regulated under the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act (“ERISA”). AGH
Wealth will provide consulting services to the plan fiduciaries as described above. Typically, the named plan
fiduciary must make the ultimate decision as to retaining the services of such investment advisers as the firm
recommends. The plan fiduciary is free to seek independent advice about the appropriateness of any
recommended services for the plan.
Selection of Third Party Investment Advisers
AGH Wealth has entered into agreements with various third party investment advisers for the provision of certain
investment advisory services. Factors considered in the selection of a third party advisor include but may not be
limited to: i) AGH Wealth’s preference for a particular third party advisor; ii) the client’s risk tolerance, goals and
objectives, as well as investment experience; and, iii) the amount of client assets available for investment. In order
to assist clients in the selection of a third party advisor, an Associated Person of AGH Wealth will typically gather
information from the client about the client’s financial situation, investment objectives, and reasonable
restrictions the client wants imposed on the management of the account.
Generally, securities transactions will be decided upon and executed by the third party advisor on a discretionary
basis. This means that the manager selected will have the ability to buy and sell securities in your account without
obtaining your approval. AGH Wealth and its Associated Persons will not manage, or obtain discretionary
authority over the assets in accounts participating in these programs; however, clients may grant AGH Wealth the
discretionary authority to hire and fire such third party managers. Generally, clients may not impose restrictions
on investing in certain securities or types of securities in accounts managed by a third party advisor.
Associated Persons of AGH Wealth will periodically review reports provided to the client. An Associated Person
of AGH Wealth will contact the client at least annually, or more often as agreed upon with each client, to review
the client’s financial situation and objectives, communicate information to the third party advisor managing the
account as necessary, and to assist the client in understanding and evaluating the services provided by the third
party advisor. Clients will be expected to notify AGH Wealth of any changes in their financial situation, investment
objectives, or account restrictions.
The third party advisor may offer wrapped or non-wrapped pricing options. Wrap pricing structures allow the
client to pay an all-inclusive fee for management, brokerage, clearance, custody and administrative services. In a
non-wrap pricing structure, the third party advisor’s fee may be separated from the advisory fee charged by AGH
Wealth. Transaction costs may also be charged for the execution and clearance of advisory transactions directed
by such Third Party Advisory Services. A complete description of the programs and services provided, the amount
of total fees, the payment structure, termination provisions and other aspects of each program are detailed and
disclosed in: i) the third party advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A; ii) the program wrap brochure (if applicable) or other
applicable disclosure documents; iii) the disclosure documents of the portfolio manager(s) selected; or, iv) the
third party advisor’s account opening documents. A copy of all relevant disclosure documents of the third party
advisor and of the individual portfolio manager(s) will be provided to anyone interested in these
programs/managers.
