Services
TWA provides several investment advisory services to clients. A description of these services is provided
in the following sections.
TWA’s Asset Management Services
TWA offers asset management services and advice to clients. TWA will obtain pertinent information
concerning each client such as financial condition, investment objectives, tax status, and general risk
characteristics. The information may be collected by TWA through questionnaires, account forms
completed by the client, and/or through communication with the client. TWA will utilize the information
provided by the client in recommending securities and monitoring existing investments.
TWA will tailor the client’s portfolio to the needs of the client. Ever client reserves the right to impose
restrictions or guidelines on the management of his or her assets, including any limitations on the purchase
or sale of a particular security or types of securities. Assets managed by TWA may be invested in a wide
variety of securities, including but not limited to equities, fixed income, mutual funds, exchange- traded
funds, and various retirement vehicles.
TWA will manage the assets on a non-discretionary basis. TWA will provide recommendations to the client,
who has ultimate authority for the approval of such transactions. The client reserves the right to select the
broker/dealer and/or custodian to be utilized in maintaining the client’s assets. There is no minimum
investment amount required by TWA to be a client.
Clients will receive account statements from the custodian no less than quarterly concerning all
transactions (including fees charged by TWA), balances and portfolio holdings within their account.
Third-party Asset Management Services
TWA may utilize the services of third-party managers to offer asset management services to clients.
Prior to entering into an agreement with third-party managers to provide asset management services,
TWA has conducted due diligence as to the background, reputation, performance, investment styles, and
other determining criteria. After such due diligence has been conducted, TWA determines whether to
enter into an agreement whereby clients will have access to the investment program(s) offered by such
third-party managers.
Based on the needs and desires of the client, TWA will assist the client in the selection of a third-party
manager. The client may be required complete various questionnaires and forms to help the client
determine which manager(s) or strategies
to utilize and more clearly gauge what type of portfolio services
they are seeking. TWA will continue to monitor the performance of the third-party manager as it relates to
the client’s assets.
As the type and nature of services offered by the third-party manager will often vary between different
third-party managers, it is important for the client to carefully review a copy of the Form ADV of such third-
party manager as well as any promotional materials provided to gain a complete and full understanding
of the third-party manager’s services and any requirements that they impose. The client should be aware
that the third-party manager may or may not require assets to be managed on a discretionary basis, may
limit the types of securities to be used, may not tailor assets to the needs of the client, and may have
minimum dollar requirements to participate in such services.
Plan Design
TWA offers plan design services to clients seeking advice and direction on various aspects of financial
planning. The level and extent of such financial planning services is dependent upon the level of services
desired by the client and is tailored to their needs and desires.
TWA may work directly with the client or with the help of their other advisors (i.e. attorney, accountant,
broker, insurance representatives). The financial planning approach encompasses six basic areas:
1. Risk
Management
2. Investment
Management
3. Educational

4. Retirement

5. Tax planning 6. Estate planning
TWA will develop and provide the client a written plan pursuant to agreed-upon services. It is the
responsibility of the client to indicate to TWA what plan design services the client seeks information and
potential recommendations. In determining or selecting to receive plan design services, TWA is informing
the client that they are under no obligation to act upon the recommendations or utilize TWA or any of its
agent(s) or affiliates in executing any action or recommendation offered by TWA. Services will be rendered
to the client within 6 months of entering into an agreement for plan design services.
Hourly Consultation
TWA offers a client the opportunity to receive hourly consultations on various topics or questions of
importance to them. These consultations may involve specific questions about planning approaches,
investment strategies, or opinions on the economy or market outlook. TWA reserves the right, based on
the information obtained through such consultation, to provide advice, recommendations, and/or opinions
at a time other than the consultation, as additional time may be necessary to provide quality advice,
opinions, and recommendations. To that extent possible and applicable, TWA will tailor any advice
rendered to the client. Any advice, opinions, or recommendations are only as good as the adequacy and
accuracy of information provided by the client.
