services, which are personalized to each individual client:
• Portfolio Management Services
• Financial Planning Services
• Selection of Other Advisers
• Pension Consulting Services
The following paragraphs describe our services and fees. Please refer to the description of each
investment advisory service listed below for information on how we tailor our advisory services to your
individual needs. As used in this brochure, the words "we", "our" and "us" refer to Landmark Wealth
Advisors, LLC and the words "you", "your" and "client" refer to you as either a client or prospective
client of our firm.
When we provide investment advice or recommendations to clients regarding their retirement plan
account or individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with
our clients' interests, so we at times operate under a special rule, Prohibited Transaction Exemption
("PTE") 2020-02, that requires us to act in their best interest and not put our interests ahead of theirs.
Under this special rule's provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of our 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 we give advice that is in the client’s
best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give clients basic information about conflicts of interest.
Portfolio Management Services
We offer discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management services. Our investment advice is
tailored to meet our clients' needs and investment objectives. If you retain our firm for portfolio
management services, we will meet with you to determine your investment objectives, risk tolerance,
and other relevant information at the beginning of our advisory relationship. We will use the information
we gather to develop a strategy that enables our firm to give you continuous and focused investment
advice and/or to make investments on your behalf. As part of our portfolio management services, we
may customize an investment portfolio for you according to your risk tolerance and investing
objectives. We may also invest your assets using a predefined strategy, or we may invest your assets
according to one or more model portfolios developed by our firm. Once we construct an investment
portfolio for you, or select a model portfolio, we will monitor your portfolio's performance on an ongoing
basis, and will rebalance the portfolio as required by changes in market conditions and in your financial
circumstances.
If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant our firm
discretionary authority to manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow us to determine
the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold for your account without
your approval prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority is typically granted by the investment
advisory agreement you sign with our firm and the appropriate trading authorization forms. If you enter
into non-discretionary arrangements with our firm, we must obtain your approval prior to executing any
transactions on behalf of your account.
Financial Planning Services
We offer financial planning services which typically involve providing a variety of advisory services to
clients regarding the management of their financial resources based upon an analysis of their
individual needs. These services can range from broad, comprehensive, financial planning to
consultative or single subject planning. If you retain our firm for financial planning services, we will
meet with you to gather information about your financial circumstances and objectives. We may also
use financial planning software to determine your current financial position and to define and quantify
your long-term goals and objectives. Once we specify those long-term objectives (both financial and
non-financial), we will develop shorter-term, targeted objectives. Once we review and analyze the
information you provide to our firm and the data derived from our financial planning software, we will
deliver a written plan to you, designed to help you achieve your stated financial goals and objectives.
Financial plans are based on your financial situation at the time we present the plan to you, and on the
financial information you provide to us. You must promptly notify our firm if your financial situation,
goals, objectives, or needs change.
You are under no obligation to act on our financial planning recommendations. Should you choose to
act on any of our recommendations, you are not obligated to implement the financial plan through any
of our other investment advisory services. Moreover, you may act on our recommendations by placing
securities transactions with any brokerage firm.
Selection of Other Advisers
As part of our investment advisory services, we may recommend that you use the services of a third
party money manager ("MM") to manage all, or a portion of, your investment portfolio. After gathering
information about your financial situation and objectives, we will recommend that you engage a specific
MM or investment program. Factors that we take into consideration when making our
recommendation(s) include, but are not limited to, the following: the MM's performance, methods of
analysis, fees, your financial needs, investment goals, risk tolerance, and investment objectives. We
will periodically monitor the MM(s)' performance to ensure its management and investment style
remains aligned with your investment goals and objectives.
Pension Consulting Services
We offer pension consulting services to employee benefit plans and their fiduciaries based upon the
needs of the plan and the services requested by the plan sponsor or named fiduciary. In general, these
services may include an existing plan review and analysis, plan-level advice regarding fund selection
and investment options, education services to plan participants, investment performance monitoring,
and/or ongoing consulting. These pension consulting services will generally be non-discretionary and
advisory in nature. The ultimate decision to act on behalf of the plan shall remain with the plan sponsor
or other named fiduciary.
We may also assist with participant enrollment meetings and provide investment-related educational
seminars to plan participants on such topics as:
• Diversification
• Asset allocation
• Risk tolerance
• Time horizon
Our educational seminars may include other investment-related topics specific to the particular plan.
We may also provide additional types of pension consulting services to plans on an individually
negotiated basis. All services, whether discussed above or customized for the plan based upon
requirements from the plan fiduciaries (which may include additional plan-level or participant-level
services) shall be detailed in a written agreement and be consistent with the parameters set forth in the
plan documents.
Either party to the pension consulting agreement may terminate the agreement upon 30-days' written
notice to the other party. The pension consulting fees will be prorated for the quarter in which the
termination notice is given and any unearned fees will be refunded to the client.
Advisory Services to Retirement Plans
As disclosed above, we offer various levels of advisory and consulting services to employee benefit
plans ("Plan") and to the participants of such plans (“Participants”). The services are designed to assist
plan sponsors in meeting their management and fiduciary obligations to Participants under the
Employee Retirement Income Securities Act (“ERISA”). Pursuant to adopted regulations of the U.S.
Department of Labor under ERISA Section 408(b)(2), we are required to provide the Plan's responsible
plan fiduciary (the person who has the authority to engage us as an investment adviser to
the Plan) with a written statement of the services we provide to the Plan, the compensation we receive
for providing those services, and our status (which is described below).
The services we provide to your Plan are described above, and in the service agreement that you have
previously signed with our firm. Our compensation for these services is described below, at Item 5, and
also in the service agreement. We may, with consent of the Plan, and in accordance with Plan
documents, bill out-of pocket expenses (such as overnight mailings, messenger, translation fees, etc.)
at cost. We do not reasonably expect to receive any other compensation, direct or indirect, for the
services we provide to the Plan or Participants. Nonetheless, since some Associated Persons of our
firm are registered representative and/or licensed insurance agents, these individuals may receive 12b-
1 fees, revenue sharing or other forms of indirect compensation in connection with mutual fund
investments allowable under applicable authority through Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments, LLC.
("Purshe Kaplan"), (refer to Items 5, 12, and 14 for additional disclosures). If we receive any other
compensation for such services, we will (i) offset the compensation against our stated fees, and (ii) we
will promptly disclose the amount of such compensation, the services rendered for such compensation
and the payer of such compensation to you.
In providing services to the Plan and Participants, our status is that of an investment adviser registered
with the State of Utah and such other state securities authorities as required by law, and we are not
subject to any disqualifications under Section 411 of ERISA. In performing fiduciary services, we are
acting as a non-discretionary fiduciary of the Plan as defined in Section 3(21) under ERISA.
Wrap Fee Program(s)
We are not a portfolio manager to, nor sponsor of, any wrap fee program
Types of Investments
We primarily offer advice on equity securities, corporate debt securities, municipal securities,
investment company securities such as mutual funds, exchange traded funds ("ETFs") and variable
annuities, and US Government securities.
Additionally, we may advise you on any type of investment that we deem appropriate based on your
stated goals and objectives. We may also provide advice on any type of investment held in your
portfolio at the inception of our advisory relationship.
You may request that we refrain from investing in particular securities or certain types of securities.
You must provide these restrictions to our firm in writing.
