Disclosure Brochure provides you with information regarding our qualifications, business

Please contact Mr. Maggio, if you have any questions about this Brochure.
Individuals associated with us will provide our investment advisory services. These individuals
are appropriately licensed and qualified to provide advisory services on our behalf. Such
individuals are known as Investment Advisor Representatives (“IARs”).
Below is a description of the investment advisory and financial planning services we offer. For
more detail on any product or service please reference the advisory agreement, wrap brochure (if
applicable), or speak with your PFP IAR.
Investment Advisory Services
Our IARs provide investment supervisory services to clients through an analysis of personal
financial planning objectives. The supervisory services emphasize providing adequate cash flow,
the minimizing of taxes, planning for retirement and other long-term objectives adopted and
coordinated with the client.
We offer investment advisory services primarily through our Elite Account Program and Premier
Account Program which are private managed accounts, affected through Schwab Institutional
Services (“Schwab”), a registered broker-dealer. Custody of funds and securities are maintained
by Schwab, not by us.
These programs strive to offer individualized continuous and regular investment advisory services
to you in connection with establishing and monitoring your investment objectives, risk tolerance,
asset allocation goals and time horizon. You have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions
or constraints on the way your account is managed; however, such restrictions may affect the
composition and performance of your portfolio. For these reasons, performance of the portfolio
may not be identical with our average client.
We use
a leading technology provider for portfolio management. We have substantially invested
our time and resources in the tools that best serve our clients, protect their assets, and keep our
business running seamlessly regardless of circumstances. The systems have enhanced rebalancing
applications with excellent reporting capabilities. All our technology data is secured and backed
up with multiple redundancies.
Furnishes Advice to Clients on Matters Not Involving Securities
Alternately, PFP offers financial planning services on an hourly or fixed fee basis. We offer
financial plans encompassing, but not limited to, the following:
- Personal Financial Planning;
- Insurance and Estate Planning;
- Capital Need Analysis;
- Tax & Cash Flow;
- Retirement Planning;
- Investment Analysis and Planning;
- Education Planning;
- Business Planning; and
- Performance Reports
Financial planning information will be obtained through personal interviews concerning your
current financial status, future goals and attitudes towards risk. Related documents that you
supplied are carefully reviewed, along with data gathered from you, and a written report is issued.
IRA Rollover Recommendations
For purposes of complying with the DOL's Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 ("PTE
2020-02") when applicable, PFP is providing the following acknowledgment to clients. When PFP
provides investment advice to clients regarding their retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, PFP is a fiduciary 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. The way PFP makes money creates some conflicts with your interests, so PFP
operates under an exemption that requires PFP to act in the clients’ best interest and not put PFP’s
interest ahead of the clients. Under this exemption, PFP must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
prudent advice),
• Never put PFP’s financial interests ahead of the clients when making recommendations
(give loyal advice),
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments,
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that PFP gives advice that is in the
clients’ best interest,
• Charge no more than is reasonable for PFP’s services, and
• Give the clients basic information about conflicts of interest.
PFP benefits financially from the rollover of the clients’ assets from a retirement account to an
account that PFP manages or provides investment advice, because the assets increase PFP’s assets
under management and, in turn, PFP’s advisory fees. As a fiduciary, PFP only recommends a
rollover when PFP believes it is in the clients’ best interest.
