VISION2020 Wealth Management Platform – Advisor Managed Portfolios
The Wealth Management Platform – Advisor Managed Portfolios (“Program”) is sponsored by
VISION2020 Wealth Management Corp., an SEC-Registered Investment Adviser. The Program provides
comprehensive investment management of our client’s assets. Osaic Wealth, Inc.
(“Osaic Wealth”) a securities broker-dealer, serves as introducing broker for accounts established through
the Program. Pershing, LLC (“Pershing”) serves as the executing broker, clearing firm and qualified
custodian for accounts maintained through Osaic Wealth. Acumen offers the Program, sponsored by
VISION2020 Wealth Management Corp., through the application of asset allocation planning, as well as the
provision of execution, clearing and custodial services through Pershing.
The Program provides risk tolerance assessment, efficient frontier plotting, fund profiling and performance
data, as well as portfolio optimization and re-balancing tools. Investment Advisory Representatives work
with clients to identify their investment goals and objectives, as well as risk tolerance, in order to design and
initial portfolio allocation to complement each client’s financial situation and personal circumstances.
Investment Advisory Representatives construct a portfolio consisting of various securities that may include
stocks, fixed income/debt securities, options, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, variable life, and
variable annuities. The investment strategies recommended under the Program depend upon each client’s
specific needs and goals. Model portfolios, option trading and/or margin may be employed as a part of the
chosen strategy. Portfolios are constructed along basic investment objective categories. Each client has the
opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their portfolio.
Investment Advisory Representatives may periodically rebalance client accounts in order to maintain the
agreed upon asset allocation. However, no changes are made to the agreed upon asset allocation in non-
discretionary accounts without
prior client consent. In non-discretionary accounts, Investment Advisory
Representatives will only purchase or sell securities that have been approved by the client, in advance of
execution.
For further Program details, please see the VISION2020 Wealth Management Platform, Advisor
Managed Portfolio, Part 2A, Appendix 1, Program Brochure. We provide this brochure to you prior
to or concurrent with your enrollment in Advisor Managed Portfolios. Please read it thoroughly
before investing.
Comprehensive Financial Planning
Investment Advisory Representatives offer Comprehensive Financial Planning services that define each
client’s personal financial goals and objectives in the areas of business planning, children’s education,
retirement planning, insurance protection, estate planning, tax planning and investments. Financial Plans
consist of analyses and recommendations as to the actions and investment strategies necessary to attain
these financial goals and objectives. Financial Plans also consist of recommendations for the allocation
of present financial resources among different types of assets including investments, savings and
insurance, with a view toward better correlating the assets with each client’s financial objectives.
Clients should understand the value and usefulness of Comprehensive Financial Planning services will
be dependent upon information that the client provides and the client’s active participation in the
formulation of the financial objectives and the implementation of the Financial Plan to attain those
objectives. Clients may be asked to complete a detailed questionnaire provided by Acumen. In addition,
clients may be asked to provide copies of insurance policies, wills, tax returns and other documents that
Acumen may deem necessary in order to prepare a complete and comprehensive Financial Plan.
Throughout the entire planning process, clients are entirely at liberty to follow or disregard, wholly or in
part, the information, recommendations and advice received from Investment Advisory Representatives.
Additionally, clients may, in their sole discretion, make and be responsible for all decisions relating to the
advice given. Because the recommendations made by Investment Advisory Representatives may be
interrelated, if only part of the recommendations are carried out, the client’s objectives may not be
fulfilled or could have unintended consequences and/or results. Clients are encouraged to consult other
professional advisors (tax, legal, accounting, etc.) in their particular area of expertise.
As of December 31, 2023, Acumen managed $390,064,960 in assets under management on a non-
discretionary basis.
