A. Firm Information
Allos Investment Advisors, LLC (“Allos” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which was organized as a limited liability company in the State of
Kansas in October 2010. Allos is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Searcy Financial Services, Inc. (“Searcy”), a
registered investment advisor at the same business address. Searcy was formed in 1976.
As the parent to Allos, Searcy provides day-to-day investment management services and operational support to
Allos and its Clients.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Allos provides investment management services to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and
businesses (each referred to as the “Client”). Allos practices custom management of portfolios, on a
discretionary basis, according to the Client’s objectives, time horizon and tolerance for risk. In certain limited
circumstances, and within the sole discretion of Allos, Allos may provide non-discretionary investment
management services. Allos emphasizes a long-term investment time horizon, where appropriate.
Allos primarily recommends that its Clients allocate investment management assets among various exchange-
traded funds (“ETFs”) and mutual funds as appropriate to achieve the Client’s objectives. Allos may, at times,
include individual debt and equity securities in the construction of portfolios. Allos may also use other security
types and investments as appropriate to meet the objectives of a particular Client, as necessary.
Allos evaluates and selects ETFs and mutual funds for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying a
comprehensive due diligence process. As part of this analysis, Allos evaluates the style consistency, management
fees, overall expense ratios, fund performance, manager tenure, and several other factors of each investment.
Allos may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio in an effort to
reduce risk and increase performance. Allos may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class
weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market
movement, which may adversely affect the portfolio. Allos may recommend selling positions for reasons that
include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific
security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position(s) in the portfolio, change in risk
tolerance of Client, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
In addition, for those Clients that require an enhanced and/or specialized level of asset management services,
Allos shall also recommend that certain Clients authorize the active discretionary management of a portion of
their assets by and/or among certain independent investment manager[s] and/or investment programs (the
“Independent Manager[s]”), based upon the stated investment objectives of the Client. The terms and conditions
under which the Client will engage the Independent Manager[s] will be set forth in a separate written agreement
between the Client and the designated Independent Manager[s]. Allos will continue to render services to the
Client relative to the ongoing monitoring and review of account performance, asset allocation and Client
investment objectives. Factors which Allos shall consider in recommending Independent Manager[s] include the
Client’s stated investment objective[s], management style, performance, reputation, financial strength, reporting,
pricing, and research. The investment management fees charged by the designated Independent Manager[s],
together with the fees charged by the corresponding designated broker-dealer/custodian of the Client’s assets,
are exclusive of, and in addition to, Allos’ ongoing investment advisory fee as noted in Item 5 below.
Prior to rendering investment management services, Allos will ascertain,
in conjunction with the Client, the
Client’s financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment objective(s).
B. Advisory Services Offered - continued
Allos will provide investment advisory services and portfolio management services and will not provide
securities custodial or other administrative services. At no time will Allos accept or maintain custody of a
Client’s funds or securities. All Client assets will be managed within their designated brokerage account,
pursuant to the Client Investment Management Agreement.
C. Financial Planning Services Offered
If the Client chooses to engage Allos to provide financial planning, under an Allos+ financial planning and/or
consulting agreement, then Client will also receive assistance with identifying financial goals, budgeting and
cash flow planning, retirement income planning and educational planning. Prior to engaging Allos to provide
financial planning services, each Client is required to enter into a Financial Planning Agreement with the
Advisor that defines the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. Any
financial planning needs outside of the scope of the Allos+ subscription will be available on an hourly basis and
outlined in writing before the completion of any work.
D. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Allos to provide investment management services, each Client is required to enter into an
Investment Management Agreement with the Advisor that defines the terms, conditions, authority and
responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Policy Statement – Allos, in connection with the Client, will develop a
statement that summarizes the Client’s investment goals and objectives along with the broad
strategy[ies] to be employed to meet the objectives. An Investment Policy Statement will include specific
information on the Client’s stated goals, time horizon for achieving their goals, asset allocation
strategies, Client risk tolerance and any restrictions imposed by the Client.
• Determining Strategic Asset Allocation[s] – Allos will formulate a long-term strategic asset allocation for
each Client account, consistent with their investment goals. The strategic asset allocation will specify the
target percentages to be invested in various asset classes, including, but not limited to, domestic equity,
domestic fixed income, international equity, international fixed income, cash and equivalents and other
asset classes as appropriate for each Client’s account. Asset Allocation Accounts are re-balanced and re-
optimized when deemed necessary by the Advisor. Re-balancing is accomplished by reallocating assets
to original asset targets and re-optimizing involves setting new target asset category percentages.
• Portfolio Construction – Allos will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated
goals of the Client. The portfolio will typically be managed by Searcy, the parent firm to the Advisor. All
or a portion of the portfolio may also be managed by Independent Manager[s], if appropriate.
• Investment Management and Supervision – Allos will provide ongoing oversight of the Client’s portfolio
and overall account. Allos will delegate the day-to-day investment management activities to its parent,
Searcy or to Independent Manager[s].
E. Wrap Fee Programs
Allos does not place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are provided by
Allos and its parent firm, Searcy. For Clients in which investment management is performed by an Independent
Manager, Allos provides account supervision, asset allocation and Client account management.
