TWA provides discretionary management, non discretionary management, and advisory
services to its wealth management clients. Investment management services may be
provided directly by TWA, through a sub-advisory agreement with Financial Counselors,
Inc., a separately owned SEC registered investment advisory firm located in Overland Park,
KS, or with the assistance of another subadvisor. TWA also makes investment
management services available for small accounts on automated “robo” investment
platforms (under a sub-advisory agreement with the applicable platform provider) or on
other third party investment platforms (under an investment platform agreement with the
applicable third party investment provider).
The firm does not provide a “wrap fee” program, although sub-advisors or third party
managers recommended by the firm may do so. For information regarding such programs
provided by outside managers, please refer to the applicable outside manager’s
ADV Part 2
Disclosure Brochure which is available upon request.
Additionally, TWA provides financial planning and consulting services, which may include
reviewing financial objectives, asset allocation, cash flow management, tax preparation and
planning, accounting services, insurance, investment management, strategies for education
funding, retirement planning, and estate planning. TWA may provide some financial
planning and consulting services directly or may delegate some services to outside “family
office” or other service providers.
Because TWA is a registered investment adviser, we are required to meet certain fiduciary
standards when providing investment advice to clients. Additionally, when we provide
investment advice related to a retirement plan account or an individual retirement account,
we are considered fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws
governing retirement accounts. As such, we are required to act in your best interest and
not put our interest ahead of yours, even though our compensation creates some conflicts
with your interests in that the more you have us manage, the more we can earn. Our clients
however are under no obligation to use services recommended by our associated persons.
Furthermore, we believe that our recommendations are in the best interests of our clients
and are consistent with our clients’ needs.
The firm also provides discretionary management, advisory and consulting services to
institutional clients under its Institutional Division.
