Flying Point Financial, Inc. (“FPF” or the “firm”) is a registered investment adviser that offers
personalized investment management, financial planning and consulting services to its clients. Elaine
Morgillo founded the company in 1998. She and Kevin Kennedy are principal owners of the firm and
have been serving clients together since 2001.
Investment Management Services
FPF provides investment management services, defined as giving continuous advice or making
investments for clients based on the specific needs of each client. FPF tailors these advisory services to
the individual needs of each client. Through personal discussions in which goals, objectives, time
horizon, and risk tolerance are established based on a client’s particular circumstances, FPF develops a
client’s individual investment policy and creates and manages a portfolio based on that policy. FPF
manages advisory accounts on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis. FPF creates unique portfolios
designed to meet the needs, goals, objectives, and risk tolerances of its clients.
Clients retain individual ownership of all securities. They are advised to promptly notify FPF if there are
changes in their financial situation or investment objectives or if they wish to impose any reasonable
restrictions on the types of investments to be made on their behalf.
As part of its investment recommendations, FPF may use investment portfolios managed on a
discretionary basis by other registered investment advisers based upon the specific circumstances of an
account. FPF may participate in wrap fee programs and will receive a portion of the wrap fee for their
services. A wrap fee program generally involves an investment account where a client is charged a single,
bundled “wrap” fee for investment advice, brokerage services, administrative expenses and other fees and
expenses.
Financial Consulting Services
PERSONAL FINANCIAL CONSULTING SERVICES
As part of the firm’s comprehensive financial planning services, FPF provides clients with a range of
financial planning and consulting services that address a variety of client-specific matters. The financial
planning process is designed to organize financial data, identify needs and opportunities, and evaluate
alternative courses of action. It may include an analysis of current net worth, income taxes, cash flow and
budgeting, investments and asset allocation, retirement planning, employee benefit plan analysis, estate
and gift tax planning, education funding, estate planning, and risk management which
focuses on the cash
needs at death, income needs of surviving dependents, and health, disability, and long-term care analysis.
FPF also provides financial advice on a more limited basis to address specific issues such as retirement
planning, estate planning, education funding planning, asset allocation and/or other financial concerns.
FPF gathers required information through in-depth personal interviews. Information gathered includes a
client’s current financial status, future goals, time horizon and attitudes toward risk. Related documents
supplied by the client are carefully reviewed. FPF conducts a financial analysis and prepares a report that
describes the client’s current situation, identifies needs and opportunities, and makes suggestions
designed to help the client achieve stated goals. Should a client choose to implement the
recommendations contained in the analysis, FPF suggests that the client and FPF work closely with
his/her attorney, accountant, insurance agent, and/or other professional advisers as appropriate.
The client is under no obligation to act upon any of the recommendations made by FPF under a financial
planning or consulting engagement or to engage the services of any such recommended professional,
including FPF. The client retains absolute discretion over all such implementation decisions and is free to
accept or reject any of FPF’s recommendations. Recommendations made by FPF are not limited to any
specific product or service offered by a broker-dealer or insurance company.
BUSINESS CONSULTING SERVICES
FPF provides consulting services on a non-discretionary basis to business, pension, and qualified plan
clients. Services may include evaluation of existing asset performance, evaluation of employee benefits,
service providers and/or employee educational sessions.
In performing its services, FPF is not required to verify any information received from the client or from
the client’s other professionals and is expressly authorized to rely on such information. Clients are
responsible to promptly notify FPF if there is ever any change in the financial situation or investment
objectives for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating, or revising FPF’s previous recommendations and/or
services.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2023, FPF managed approximately $168,520,000 of client assets on a discretionary
basis.
