We are a registered investment adviser based in Charlottesville, Virginia. We are organized as a
corporation under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. We have been providing investment
advisory services since 1993. Our principal owners include Alan N. Culbertson and Sharon P.
Culbertson. We offer wealth management services including asset management and financial
planning.
As used in this brochure, the words "we," "our," and "us" refer to A. N. Culbertson & Company, Inc. and
the words "you," "your," and "client" refer to you as either a client or prospective client of our firm.
Our asset management services are tailored to meet our clients' needs. We will meet with you to
discuss your investment objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, liquidity needs, and other relevant
information. We will use the information we gather to develop a strategy for managing your investment
assets. We will monitor your portfolio's performance on an ongoing basis, and will rebalance the
portfolio in response to changing market conditions or financial circumstances.
For our financial planning services, we will assess your personal financial situation (i.e. assets and
debts, tax matters, estate planning issues, insurance, college funding, etc.), and then craft an action
plan to pursue your financial goals. We do not provide tax or legal advice, but we may make
recommendations regarding tax, estate, and insurance planning services, and can assist with
arranging a meeting with an appropriate expert. Financial plans are based on your personal situation at
the time we present the plan to you, and on financial information you provide to our firm. We cannot
offer any guarantees or promises that your financial goals and objectives will be met. 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 with our firm.
We
generally offer advice on individual stocks, individual bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds
(ETF's), money market funds, and certificates of deposit (CD's). We advise clients on other types of
securities or investment products as required or appropriate.
IRA Rollover Recommendations
Effective December 20, 2021 (or such later date as the US Department of Labor ("DOL") Field
Assistance Bulletin 2018-02 ceases to be in effect), for purposes of complying with the DOL's
Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 ("PTE 2020-02") where applicable, we are providing the
following acknowledgment to you.
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries 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 we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a
special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. 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 yours 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 your best
interest;
•Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
4
•Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
We benefit financially from the rollover of your assets from a retirement account to an account that we
manage or provide investment advice, because the assets increase our assets under management
and, in turn, our advisory fees. As a fiduciary, we only recommend a rollover when we believe it is in
your best interest.
Assets Under Management
We manage approximately $527,826,000 on a discretionary basis and $10,297,000 on a non-
discretionary basis as of December 31, 2022.
