ITEM 2 - MATERIAL CHANGES
We have updated our wrap fee program brochure. The following changes occurred to the Firm’s business
practices since our last annual brochure update dated March 2025.
•
Item 9 – Additional Information, Code of Ethics has been updated to address Allegheny’s blocked orders to
trade the same security for multiple client accounts on a single day. This item has been updated to describe
the impact this practice has on Allegheny’s employee trading procedures. More specifically, Allegheny has
adopted procedures restricting supervised persons’ ability to personally purchase or sell a security by
participating in a blocked order alongside Allegheny clients, unless the participating account is managed by
Allegheny on a fully discretionary basis. Such employee “managed” accounts are treated as Allegheny client
accounts and are subject to the same aggregation and allocation policies and procedures as other clients.
Employee accounts that are managed by the firm do not receive preferential treatment in the trade
allocation process.
Other minor modifications have been made throughout the Brochure.
We will provide you with a new Brochure as necessary based on changes or new information, at any time, without
charge. Our Brochure may be requested by contacting us at (412) 367-3880.

Services
We provide the following types of services, which are tailored to the individual needs of our clients. Financial plans
are based on your financial situation at the time we present the plan to you, and on the financial information you
provide us. You must promptly notify our firm if your financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs change during our
engagement. You have the right to impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of
securities, or industry sectors. All such restrictions must be provided to us in writing. Account supervision over
investment management accounts is guided by your stated goals, objectives, risk tolerance, as well as tax
considerations. We provide investment management services on both a discretionary and non-discretionary basis.
COMBINED INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT & FINANCIAL PLANNING
Comprehensive Portfolio Management (“PMA”)
When we provide comprehensive investment management and financial planning services, we will work with you to
develop a financial plan and provide you with continuous advice regarding the investment of your funds based on
your individual needs. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on your particular
circumstances are established, we develop your personal investment strategy and create and manage a portfolio
based on that strategy. During our data gathering process, we determine your individual objectives, time horizons,
risk tolerance and liquidity needs. As appropriate, we also review and discuss your prior investment history, as well as
family composition and background. You will receive reports reflecting the value and status of their uniquely designed
portfolio.
In cases where the client has selected non-discretionary management, the implementation of any or all
recommendations is solely at the discretion of the client. Additionally, clients may place unsolicited trades in
their account.
Investment Management Services (“IMA”)
Allegheny offers IMA services for clients who do not require full financial planning services but want a professionally
managed portfolio and regular performance updates. These accounts include personal accounts, retirement plans and
Simple IRA’s. The following services are included:

controlling risk through diversification of assets and perform ongoing monitoring of the strategy in relation to
the criteria provided by you.

managing your accounts, assisting with distributions and other assistance as required.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR SERVICES
Custodian and Brokerage Services
Wrap fee program accounts are held at Fidelity Brokerage Services (“Fidelity”), a FINRA registered broker- dealer,
member SIPC. Fidelity acts as custodian and executing broker-dealer for transactions placed in program accounts
and provides other administrative services as described throughout this brochure. You cannot request that your
orders be executed through another broker-dealer as part of the wrap fee program. You should understand that
not all advisors require their clients to select a certain broker. By selecting Fidelity as the broker, you may may
not receive the most favorable execution of client transactions. Therefore, this practice may cost you more
money. You will be subject to separate fees and expenses charged by Fidelity. Allegheny receives support
services and/or products from Fidelity, many of which assist Allegheny to better monitor and service program
accounts maintained at Fidelity however, some of the services and products benefit Allegheny and not client
accounts.
Recommendations of Independent Managers
When you engage us to provide investment management services, you will typically empower us to recommend
and/or select third-party Independent Managers to manage a portion of your assets, based upon your stated
investment objectives. The terms and conditions under which you engage the Independent Managers are set forth in
a written agreement between Allegheny or you and each designated Independent Manager. Typically, the
Independent Manager is engaged to manage the designated assets on a discretionary basis. Allegheny also monitors
and reviews the account performance and your investment objectives. Allegheny receives an annual advisory fee
which corresponds with the services Allegheny is engaged to provide and is based upon a percentage of the market
value of the assets being managed by the designated Independent Managers.
When recommending or selecting an Independent Manager for a client, Allegheny reviews information about the
Independent Manager such as its disclosure statement and/or material supplied by the Independent Manager or
independent third parties for a description of the Independent Manager’s investment strategies, past performance,
and risk results to the extent available. Factors that Allegheny considers in recommending an Independent Manager
to you include your stated investment objectives, management style, performance, reputation, financial strength,
5
reporting, pricing, and research. The advisory fees charged by the designated Independent Managers, together with
the fees charged by your designated broker-dealer/custodian, are exclusive of, and in addition to, our investment
advisory fee described in Item 5. As discussed above, you may incur additional fees than those charged by Allegheny,
the designated Independent Managers, and corresponding broker-dealer and custodian.
In addition to Allegheny’s disclosure documents, you will also receive the disclosure documents of any designated
Independent Managers. Certain Independent Managers may impose more restrictive account requirements or
employ different billing practices than Allegheny. In such instances, we may alter our corresponding account
requirements and/or billing practices to accommodate those of an Independent Manager.
Fees & Compensation
In the Allegheny Investments Wrap Fee Program, clients pay us a single advisory fee for advisory services and
execution of transactions. Clients do not pay brokerage commissions, markups or transaction charges for
execution of transactions in addition to the advisory fee. The advisory fee is negotiable between you and
Allegheny and is set out in your investment management agreement. We do not accept performance-based
fees for wrap fee program accounts.
The advisory fee is deducted from the account by Fidelity and paid to Allegheny based on a written authorization
from the client. Allegheny calculates the advisory fee in advance and provides the debit instruction to the
custodian based on the billing frequency stated in the advisory agreement; typically, semi- annually or annually.
In limited circumstances, clients are invoiced for their fees. If the advisory agreement is terminated before the
end of the period, client is entitled to a pro-rated refund of any pre-paid advisory fee based on the number of
days remaining in the billing period after the termination date.
COMBINED INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL PLANNING
Comprehensive Portfolio Management (“PMA”)
Our advisory fees for PMA accounts are calculated as a percentage of billable assets under management and generally
billed at least semi-annually. The following are the advisory fees you will pay to Allegheny:
• 1.00% on the first $2,500,000 of assets under management, per annum
• 0.65% on the amount from $2,500,000 to $5,000,000
• 0.50% on the amount from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000
• 0.45% on the amount from $10,000,000 to $25,000,000
• 0.40% on the amount from $25,000,000 to $50,000,000
• 0.35% on the amount of assets over $50,000,000
Allegheny, in its sole discretion, has the right to deviate from this schedule. Your total fee may exceed the schedule
above when flat or hourly fees apply. We permit existing clients to continue to be billed according to previously
published ADV schedules in cases where the relationship was established under the then published ADV terms.
Previously established fee schedules will be calculated differently than the schedule stated above, in accordance with
that client’s investment management agreement. Allegheny retains the right to negotiate fees on a client-by- client
basis. Your facts, circumstances, and needs are considered in determining the advisory fee. Allegheny considers the
complexity of the relationship, amount and types of assets managed, related accounts and other factors. For the
purpose of advisory fee calculations, we reserve the right to combine the advisory accounts of immediate family
members or other related accounts. Allegheny and your Advisor may include additional accounts.
Investment Management Fees (“IMA”)
Our advisory fee for IMA accounts is calculated as a percentage of the value of billable assets under
management listed on the investment management agreement and will be billed semi–annually, quarterly, or
annually. With your authorization, the advisory fee will be deducted directly from your accounts by a Third-
6
Party Payor or deducted from your account and paid to Allegheny as outlined in your investment management
agreement. Alternatively, you may choose to receive a bill for services provided in limited circumstances. When
a Third-Party Payor deducts your fee, the advisory fee for assets on its platform will be calculated in arrears. By
comparison, when your fee is deducted from your account or invoiced by Allegheny, the advisory fee for those
assets will be calculated and applied in advance. Your investment management agreement contains additional
information about this practice. The advisory fee for IMA accounts ranges from 0%-1% per annum.
STAND-ALONE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES
Streamlined Account Management Fees (“SAM”)
Our advisory fee for SAM relationships is calculated as a percentage of the value of billable assets under management
listed on the investment management agreement and will be billed quarterly or semi-annually in advance. With your
authorization, Instructions will be provided to your custodian to deduct the advisory fees from your account as
outlined in the investment management agreement. The advisory fee for SAM accounts is 0.75% per annum.
WRAP FEE PROGRAM TRANSACTION CHARGES DISCLOSURE
In the Allegheny Investments Wrap Fee Program, the transaction costs are borne by Allegheny. We have agreed
to pay a transaction-based fee to Fidelity to cover clearing and execution services. As a result, we have a conflict
of interest because we have a financial incentive to trade less frequently. In addition, because transactions
charges vary by security type, there is a conflict of interest for Allegheny because we have an incentive to select
securities for your Account that cost us less than other types of securities. Clients should discuss these conflicts
with their advisor. In the case of mutual funds, the transaction charges vary. Funds identified in the Fidelity
published directory as being subject to mutual fund transaction surcharges will be assessed a $10 mutual fund
transaction surcharge on buys, sells, exchanges-round trip and share class conversions. The list of fund families
and/or CUSIPs that are subject to the surcharge is subject to change by Fidelity without notice. Allegheny is
responsible for paying these transaction surcharges. Therefore, we have an incentive to use funds that are not
assessed the extra transaction fee.
Fidelity currently has arranged for all funds in the No Transaction Fee Program (referenced with a fee status of
“NTF”) in the published directory to be free of clearing charges for wrap fee program accounts. Fidelity receives
compensation from the fund families based on the average daily net assets in the funds that are identified as
NTF. While NTF funds have no transaction charge, they tend to have a higher expense ratio than the same fund
traded with a transaction fee, and this expense ratio is borne by the client.
In limited cases, Fidelity charges a transaction fee for fixed income securities (e.g., bonds). In addition, Fidelity
acts as principal on fixed income security transactions and receives a mark-up/down on the transaction or
applies a flat transaction fee. These charges are subject to change.
Certain share classes of funds traded as part of Fidelity’s NTF Program can be purchased in non-wrap accounts
without a transaction charge. In order to participate in the NTF Program, mutual funds pay Fidelity
recordkeeping and/or revenue-sharing fees in the form of asset-based or transaction-based fees. A complete list
of mutual fund sponsors participating in the NTF Program can be found by visiting
https://fundresearch.fidelity.com/mutual-funds/fund-families-no-transaction-fee. You should understand that
the cost to Allegheny of transaction charges is a factor we consider when deciding which mutual funds to select
for your account(s) and whether or not to place transactions in your account(s). We have a financial incentive to
select certain funds in order to reduce or eliminate the transaction charges, including but not limited to funds
participating in the NTF Program.
Other Types of Fees and Charges
Wrap fee program accounts will incur additional fees and charges from parties other than Allegheny as noted
below. These fees and charges are in addition to the advisory fee paid to Allegheny. We do not share in any
7
portion of these third-party fees.
Fidelity, as the custodian and broker-dealer providing brokerage and execution services on program accounts,
will impose certain fees and charges that are not part of the bundled platform fee. Fidelity notifies you of these
charges at account opening. Fidelity will deduct these fees and charges, as applicable, directly from your
program account(s).
There are other fees and charges that are imposed by other third parties that apply to investments in program
accounts. Some of these fees and charges are described below.
•
If your assets are invested in mutual funds or other pooled investment products, you should be aware
that there will be two layers of advisory fees and expenses for those assets. You will pay an advisory fee to
the fund manager and other expenses as a shareholder of the fund. You will also pay Allegheny the
advisory fee with respect to those assets. Most of the mutual funds available in the program may be
purchased directly. Therefore, you could generally avoid the second layer of fees by not using the
management services of Allegheny and by making your own investment decisions.
• Certain mutual funds impose fees and charges such as contingent deferred sales charges, early
redemption fees and charges for frequent trading. These charges may apply if client transfers into or
purchases such a fund with the applicable charges in a program account.
• Although Allegheny requires that no-load and load-waived mutual funds be purchased in a program
account when available, you should understand that some mutual funds pay asset-based sales charges or
service fees (e.g., 12b-1 fees) to the custodian with respect to account holdings.
•
If you hold a variable annuity as part of an account, there are mortality, expense, and administrative charges,
fees for additional riders on the contract, and charges for excessive transfers within a calendar year imposed by
the variable annuity sponsor.
• Our affiliated investment adviser, Allegheny Financial Group (“AFG”) serves as the investment advisor to certain
private funds (“the Funds”). It receives advisory fees for its services, which are detailed in each Fund’s offering
documents. Certain Funds also charge performance-based fees (described in Item 6). If you choose to invest in
these private funds, you will pay the private fund fees; however, we do not charge an advisory fee on any such
funds. Instead, we exclude those fund assets when we calculate your advisory fees.
• Additional information regarding fees assessed by a mutual fund, or variable annuity is available in the
appropriate prospectus, which is available upon request from Allegheny or from the product sponsor
directly.
Other Important Considerations
• The advisory fee is an ongoing wrap fee for investment management services, the execution of
transactions and other administrative and custodial services. The advisory fee may cost you more than
purchasing the program services separately, for example, paying an advisory fee plus commissions for
each transaction in your account. Factors that bear upon the cost of the account in relation to the cost of
the same services purchased separately include the type and size of the account, historical and or
expected size or number of trades for the account, and number and range of supplementary advisory and
client-related services provided to you.
• The advisory fee also may cost you more than if assets were held in a traditional brokerage account. In a
8
brokerage account, a client is charged a commission for each transaction, and the representative has no
duty to provide ongoing advice with respect to the account. If you plan to follow a buy and hold strategy
for your account or do not wish to purchase ongoing investment advice or management services, you
should consider opening a brokerage account rather than a program account.
• When we recommend the Program to you, we receive compensation as a result of your participation in
the program. The amount of this compensation may be more or less than what we would receive if the
client participated in other Allegheny programs, programs of other investment advisors or paid separately
for investment advice, brokerage and other client services. Therefore, we have a financial incentive to
recommend the program over other programs and services.
• The investment products available to be purchased in the program can be purchased by clients outside of
a program account, through broker-dealers or other investment firms not affiliated with Allegheny.
ITEM 5 - ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS AND TYPES OF CLIENTS
There are no minimum account values for the Allegheny Investments Wrap Fee Program accounts.
The program is available for individuals, IRAs, banks and thrift institutions, pension and profit-sharing plans,

business entities.
ITEM 6 - PORTFOLIO MANAGER SELECTION AND EVALUATION
In the Allegheny Investments Wrap Fee Program, Allegheny is the wrap fee program portfolio manager.
Allegheny, through its associated persons, is responsible for the investment advice and management offered to
clients. We require that individuals involved in determining or giving investment advice have sufficient training
and experience to provide such advice, including the successful completion of industry exams and certifications.
For more information about the associated person of Allegheny managing the account, refer to the Brochure
Supplement for your Advisor, which you should have received along with this Brochure at the time your account
was opened.
Fidelity performs certain administrative services for us, including generation of quarterly statements for
program accounts.
Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
We provide comprehensive portfolio management for clients who select these services. In providing these
services, we provide you with continuous advice regarding the investment of your funds based on your
individual needs. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on your particular
circumstances are established, we will develop your personal investment strategy and create and manage a
portfolio based on that strategy. Your portfolio will typically and primarily be comprised of mutual fund
positions, and we seek to control risk through diversification of assets and by performing ongoing monitoring of
the strategy in relation to the criteria you provide to us. When we invest in mutual funds, we use original and
proprietary investment research conducted by our research department and investment committee. Your
Advisor may also invest your accounts in other types of securities, subject to your investment strategy and any
related guidelines as determined with you during the planning process described above. These other types of
securities may include, but may not be limited to, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), stocks, bonds, and in certain
cases, private funds as described herein).
9
Allegheny advisors place a strong emphasis on the financial planning process. Clients who receive financial
planning services generally go through the following process. Not all clients receive financial planning.
A. DEFINE CLIENT OBJECTIVES. Our Allegheny Advisors ask questions and discover key client issues and
concerns, based upon their extensive experience, to build a meaningful evaluation of our clients’
finances. These questions include determining risk tolerance, education needs, retirement objectives,
long and short-term goals and objectives.
B. DEVELOP A FINANCIAL PLAN. Allegheny Advisors analyze assets and liabilities and evaluate risk
tolerances to develop a clear picture of our clients’ financial status. This enables us to build a plan to
meet each client’s objectives. The financial plan may contain programs to enhance cash flow, decrease
tax liabilities, enhance the funding of educational goals or a comfortable retirement, or meet a business
or organization’s financial goals. Our planning tools enable Allegheny Advisors to chart detailed
projections to account for factors that impact our clients’ finances and anticipate changing needs. At the
end of the process, Allegheny Advisors provide a very specific set of recommendations. Clients then
decide whether to implement these recommendations.
C.
IMPLEMENT THE FINANCIAL PLAN. Allegheny Advisors work with a team of specialists to select the most
appropriate fund managers, insurance providers, and risk managers to ensure consistent portfolio
performance.
D. MONITOR AND REFINE THE FINANCIAL PLAN. Allegheny Advisors support our clients’ portfolio with
ongoing and original research to measure performance. Allegheny Advisors report to clients through
detailed reports and updates and one-on-one meetings.
Risk of Loss
Allegheny primarily uses mutual funds in its investment strategy. Each mutual fund, in turn, invests in various
underlying securities. Allegheny may also invest directly in similar types of securities. Primary risks include, but
are not limited to:
General Risks
Investing in securities involves the risk of loss – Depending on the different types of investments selected, there
are varying degrees of risk. Prices of publicly traded securities, including mutual funds, fluctuate daily, sometimes
dramatically. Furthermore, it is possible that the value of a security could become worthless. Clients should be
prepared to bear this risk. Your investment in a fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency, entity, or person. If you receive our non-
discretionary services, you should consider how the fund fits into your overall investment program.
Allocation Risks - Investment performance in client portfolios will depend largely on Allegheny’s decisions
regarding strategic asset allocation and tactical adjustments made to the asset allocation in each client’s portfolio.
At times, Allegheny’s judgments as to the asset classes in which clients should invest may prove to be wrong, as
some asset classes may perform worse than others or the equity markets generally from time to time or for
extended periods of time.
Use of Independent Managers - Allegheny is typically authorized by clients to select or recommend Independent
Managers to manage a portion of client assets. We conduct due diligence of such Independent Managers, but
our selections or recommendations rely to a great extent on the Independent Managers’ ability to successfully
implement their investment strategies. In addition, we generally do not have the ability to supervise the
Independent Managers on a day-to-day basis. As a result, there can be no assurance that every Independent
Managers will invest on the basis expected by the firm. Furthermore, because Allegheny will have no control
over any Independent Managers’ day-to-day operations, clients may experience losses due to the fraud, poor
10
risk management, or recklessness of the Independent Managers.
Risks of Investments
Investing in mutual funds: The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible
loss of principal. The price of mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up
the funds. The price of a mutual fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the
day will typically have the same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Investing in exchange traded funds (ETFs): The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the
possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make
up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded
actively and a liquidity risk if an ETF has a large bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF
fluctuates based upon the market movements and may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the
price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price
than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.
Market conditions- The prices of, and the income generated by, the common stocks, bonds and other
securities held by a fund (or directly in your account) may decline due to market conditions and other factors,
including those directly involving the issuers of securities.
Investing in growth-oriented stocks- Growth-oriented stocks may involve larger price swings and greater
potential for loss than other types of investments.
Investing in income-oriented stocks- Income provided by income-oriented stocks may be reduced by
changes in the dividend policies of, and the capital resources available at, the issuers of such securities.
Investing in bonds- Rising interest rates will generally cause the prices of bonds and other debt securities
to fall. In addition, falling interest rates may cause an issuer to redeem, call or refinance a security before its
stated maturity, which may result in the fund having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities.
Longer maturity debt securities may be subject to greater price fluctuations than shorter maturity debt
securities. Bonds and other debt securities are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that the credit
strength of an issuer will weaken and/or an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of
principal or interest, and the security will go into default. Lower quality debt securities generally have higher
rates of interest and may be subject to greater price fluctuations than higher quality debt securities.
Investing in securities backed by the U.S. government- Securities backed by the U.S. government are
guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the U.S. government are guaranteed only as to
the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. Accordingly, the current market values for
these securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Securities issued by government sponsored
entities and federal agencies and instrumentalities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. government.
Investing in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities- Many types of bonds and other debt securities,
including mortgage-back securities, are subject to prepayment risk, as well as the risks associated with investing
in debt securities in general. If interest rates fall and the loans underlying these securities are prepaid principal
in lower yielding securities, thus reducing the fund’s income. Conversely, if interest rates increase and the loans
underlying the securities are prepaid more slowly than expected, the expected duration of the securities may be
extended. This reduces the potential for the fund (or your portfolio directly) to invest the principal in higher
yielding securities.
Thinly traded securities- There is little trading in the secondary market for particular bonds or other debt
securities, which makes them more difficult to value or sell.
11
Investing outside the United States- Securities of issuers domiciled outside the United States, or with significant
operations outside the United States, may lose value because of political, social, or economic developments in the
country or region in which the issuer operates. These securities may also lose value due to changes in the exchange
rate of currencies which are more volatile and/or less liquid than those in the United States. Investments outside the
United States may also be subject to different settlement and accounting practices and different regulatory, legal, and
reporting standards than those in the United States. These risks are heightened in connection with investments in
developing countries.
Management- The investment advisor to a fund actively or passively manages the fund’s investments.
Consequently, the fund is subject to the risk that the methods and analyses employed by the investment adviser
do not produce the desired results. This could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant
benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.
Equity Market Risk- Overall stock market risks may affect the value of the investments in equity strategies.
Factors such as U.S. economic growth and market conditions, interest rates, and political events affect the
equity markets.
Investment Selection Risk- There is no guarantee that our judgments about the attractiveness, value and
potential appreciation of a particular asset class or individual security are correct and that individual securities
will perform as anticipated. The value of an individual security can be more volatile than the market as a whole
or our intrinsic value approach may fail to produce the intended results. Our estimate of intrinsic value may be
wrong or even if our estimate of intrinsic value is correct, it may take a long period of time before the price and
intrinsic value converge.
Investing in Private Funds - Refer to the Fund offering documents for a complete description of the
investment strategies employed by Private Funds and related risks.
Additional Risks
Catastrophic & Market Event Risk - The value of securities may decline as a result of various catastrophic and
other market events, public health emergencies, natural disasters or climate events and other economic, political, and
global macro forces, such as trade wars, wars, and terrorism. Losses resulting from these events can be substantial
and could have a material adverse effect on Allegheny’s business and client accounts.
Cybersecurity Risk - Cyber incidents affecting Allegheny and its service providers have the ability to
disrupt and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with an advisor’s
ability to value its client’s securities or other investments, impediments to trading, the inability to transact
business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage,
reimbursement or other compensation costs, or additional compliance costs. The use of artificial intelligence by
the Adviser, third-party service providers, or counterparties, could amplify cybersecurity risks. Similar adverse
consequences could result from cyber incidents affecting issuers of invested securities, counterparties to
transactions, governmental and other regulatory authorities, exchange and other financial market operators,
banks, brokers, dealers, insurance companies, and other financial institutions and other parties. In addition,
substantial costs may be incurred to prevent cyber incidents in the future. While business continuity plans and
risk management systems are designed to prevent and mitigate cyber incidents and other disasters, there are
inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been
identified.
Voting Client Securities
12
As a matter of firm policy and practice, we do not have any authority to, and do not, vote proxies on behalf of
advisory clients. You retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for any and all securities maintained
in your portfolios. You will receive proxies or other solicitations directly from your custodian or transfer agent. We
will provide you with assistance regarding proxy issues upon request
ITEM 7 - CLIENT INFORMATION PROVIDED TO PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
In the Allegheny Investments Wrap Fee Program, the Advisor is responsible for account management; there is no
separate portfolio manager involved. The Advisor obtains the necessary financial data from the client and assists
the client in setting an appropriate investment objective for the account. The Advisor obtains this information by
having the client complete an advisory agreement and other documentation. Clients are encouraged to contact
their Advisor if there have been any changes in the client’s financial situation or investment objectives or if they
wish to impose any reasonable restrictions on the management of the account or reasonably modify existing
restrictions.
ITEM 8 - CLIENT CONTACT WITH PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
Clients should contact their Advisor at any time with questions regarding program account.
ITEM 9 - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Insurance Broker
Allegheny is also a licensed insurance broker, and certain members of Allegheny management and other Allegheny
Advisors are licensed insurance agents. As a result, Allegheny, and licensed insurance agents receive additional
compensation for the recommendation or purchase of insurance products for Allegheny clients. Allegheny
endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of
economic benefits by Allegheny and an Advisor who is also a licensed insurance agent creates a conflict of interest
because there is an incentive for your Advisor to recommend an insurance product based on the compensation
received. Please see the individual Part 2B Brochure Supplement for information concerning your Advisor.
Affiliated Investment Adviser
Allegheny’s affiliate, AFG, is a registered investment adviser. AFG is under common control with AI and the
directors of AFG are also the directors of AI.
Private Funds
AFG provides investment advisory services to certain private funds (“Funds”). Some members of management are
shareholders and/or general partners or managing members of the Funds. Certain advisory clients are solicited to
invest in these Funds. Funds are only available to accredited investors and involve certain additional risks. General
Partners and other related entities are compensated in accordance with the partnership offering documents.
Other Professional Services
Some Allegheny Advisors are involved in other business activities including accounting services and other
professional services. Please see the individual Part 2B supplement for information concerning your Advisor.

Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Allegheny has adopted a Code of Ethics for all supervised persons describing its high standard of business conduct and
fiduciary duty to its clients. The Code of Ethics requires Allegheny and its supervised persons to act in clients’ best
interests, abide by all applicable regulations, avoid even the appearance of insider trading, and pre-clear and report
on many types of personal securities transactions, among other things. All supervised persons at Allegheny must
acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics upon hire, annually, and as amended. Allegheny’s clients or prospective
clients may request a copy of the firm's Code of Ethics by contacting Allegheny Compliance at the number listed on
the cover page.
In appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’ investment objectives, Allegheny will purchase or sell or
recommend the purchase or sale of securities in which Allegheny, its affiliates and/or employees, directly or
indirectly, have a position of interest. Allegheny’s supervised persons are required to follow Allegheny’s Code of
Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers, directors and employees of Allegheny and its
affiliates trade for their own accounts in securities and investments which are recommended to and/or purchased for
Allegheny’s clients. Additionally, supervised persons may not personally purchase or sell a security by participating in
a blocked order alongside Allegheny clients, unless the participating employee account is managed by Allegheny on a
fully discretionary basis. Such employee “managed” accounts are treated as Allegheny client accounts and are subject
to the same aggregation and allocation policies and procedures as other clients. Employee accounts that are
managed by the firm do not receive preferential treatment in the trade allocation process.
The Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the
employees of Allegheny will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii)
implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. The Code
of Ethics permits employees to invest in the same securities as clients, and while there is a possibility that employees
might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by an employee, employee trading is monitored under
the Code of Ethics to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between Allegheny and its clients.
Review of Accounts
Your Advisor will monitor your investment management accounts ongoing, in conjunction with our compliance team.
Advisors typically contact PMA clients at least semi-annually and offer to schedule meetings with clients at least
annually to review account performance and discuss any changes in client finances, financial goals, or profile.
Allegheny relies in part on technology but also reviews and audits other information. The frequency of review
meetings with other investment management clients is determined between the Advisor and each client. Each
financial plan or report is reviewed by at least one Allegheny Advisor in addition to the Advisor preparing the plan.
We typically provide reports to clients annually; however, the frequency and content of reports provided may differ
as determined by you with your Advisor and indicated in your investment management agreement. Allegheny
Advisors and home office personnel are available during normal business hours to answer questions or other
inquiries you may have.
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
We do not accept or allow supervised persons to accept any form of compensation, including cash, sales awards, or
other prizes, from a non-client in conjunction with the advisory services we provide to our clients. From time to time,
Allegheny may compensate others for client referrals. When compensating others, Allegheny will follow the
requirements of Rule 206(4)-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and any corresponding securities law
requirements. At the time of the referral Allegheny will disclose the nature of the relationship. Promoter
arrangements will not result in any additional fees to clients.
