Johnson & White Wealth Management, LLC (“JWWM”) has been in business since May 2014. Timothy
P. White, Christopher L. Johnson and Robert W. Allan are the firm’s principal owners.
JWWM provides personalized financial planning and/or investment management services. Clients
advised may include individuals, trusts, foundations, pensions, and corporations.
Financial Planning
In most cases, the client will supply to JWWM information including income, investments, savings,
insurance, age and many other items that are helpful to the firm in assessing your financial goals. The
information is typically provided during personal interviews and supplemented with written information.
Once the information is received, we will discuss your financial needs and goals with you and compare
your current financial situation with the goals you state. Once these are compared, we will create a
financial and/or investment plan to help you meet your goals.
The plan is intended to be a suggested blueprint of how to meet your goals. Plans will not be the same
for every client. Each one is specific to the client who requested it. Because the plan is based on
information supplied by you, it is very important that you accurately and completely communicate to us
the information we need. We determine these objectives by reviewing new client questionnaires and then
interviewing the client for additional background and clarity so we can gather a more complete picture of
a client’s needs. It is very important that you continually update us with any changes so that if the updates
require changes to your plan, we can make those changes. Otherwise, your plan may no longer be
accurate.
If you request, JWWM may recommend the services of other professionals for implementation purposes.
You are under no obligation to engage the services of any such recommended professional. You retain
absolute discretion over all such implementation decisions and are free to accept or reject any
recommendation from JWWM. If you engage any professional recommended by JWWM, and a dispute
arises thereafter relative to such engagement, you agree to seek recourse exclusively from and against the
engaged professional.
Asset Management
JWWM requires each client to place at least $250,000 with the firm. This minimum may be waived in
the discretion of JWWM.
Asset management services may be provided on a “discretionary” or on a “non-discretionary” basis.
When JWWM is engaged to provide asset management services on a discretionary basis, we will monitor
your accounts to ensure that they are meeting your asset allocation requirements. If any changes are
needed to your investments, we will make the changes. These changes may involve selling a security or
group of investments and buying others or keeping the proceeds in cash. You may at any time place
restrictions on the types of investments we may use on your behalf, or on the allocations to each security
type. You will receive written or electronic confirmations from your account custodian after any changes
are made to your account. You will also receive statements at least quarterly from your account custodian.
Clients engaging us on a discretionary basis will be asked to execute a Limited Power of Attorney
(granting us the discretionary authority over the client
accounts) as well as an Investment Management
Agreement that outlines the responsibilities of both the client and JWWM.
When a client engages us to provide investment management services on a non-discretionary basis, we
monitor the accounts in the same way as for discretionary services. The difference is that changes to your
account will not be made until we have confirmed with you (either verbally or in writing) that our
proposed change is acceptable to you.
Wrap Program
For some clients, JWWM may include certain transactional costs in the client’s management fee. This
arrangement is referred to a “Wrap Program”. For accounts in the Wrap Program, JWWM pays the cost
of each client transaction, thus taking on many of the clients’ transactions cost. Fees included in the wrap
fee include transaction fees for the purchase or sale of securities, but do not include expenses related to
the use of margin, wire transfer fees, the fees charged to shareholders of mutual funds or ETFs, mark-ups
and mark-downs, spreads, odd-lot differentials, fees charged by regulatory agencies, and any transaction
fees for securities trades executed by a broker-dealer other than Schwab Advisor Services. Expenses for
the management fees of third-party managers are also not included in the Wrap Program, and to the extent
utilized, you will be responsible for such fees. Because JWWM will be managing the assets of wrap fee
program clients the same way as other non-wrap fee program clients, the use of external portfolio
managers within the wrap program is expected to be limited. To the extent a third-party manager is
utilized, the fees payable to such managers will not be included in the wrap program. Therefore, there is
no difference between how JWWM manages wrap free accounts and how JWWM manages other
accounts.
Because of the nature of a wrap fee program, where wrap fees are not tied to an account’s frequency of
trading and apply to generally all assets in the account, the wrap fee program client may pay more or less
than if the client had compensated JWWM outside of the wrap fee program. For example, if a client’s
account is rarely traded, the transaction fees the client would have paid would be minimal, thus limiting
the benefits of “wrapping” management fees and transaction fees. Clients whose accounts will be rarely
traded should carefully consider whether the Wrap Program is appropriate. Clients are not required to
participate in the Wrap Program.
JWWM does not engage other portfolio managers to manage assets within the wrap fee program. To the
extent a third-party manager is utilized, the fees payable to such managers will not be included in the wrap
program. JWWM is the sole portfolio manager in the wrap program, which means that JWWM receives
a portion of the wrap fee for our services. Transaction fees are paid to various broker-dealers, mutual
funds and ETFs. The remainder of the wrap fee is the management fee payable to JWWM.
JWWM will receive no additional compensation for offering the wrap fee program.
Please see the separate Wrap Fee Brochure for a more complete description of the Wrap Program.
