Item 4: Services, Fees & Compensation
Our firm manages assets for many different types of clients to help meet their financial goals while
remaining sensitive to risk tolerance and time horizons. As a fiduciary it is our duty to always act in
the client’s best interest. This is accomplished in part by knowing the client. Our firm has established
a service-oriented advisory practice with open lines of communication. Working with clients to
understand their investment objectives while educating them about our process, facilitates the kind
of working relationship we value.
Our firm sponsors a wrap fee program, which allows clients to pay a single fee for investment
advisory services and associated custodial transaction costs. Transaction fees will be paid by our firm
based on a percentage of the dollar amount of assets in the account(s). Because our firm absorbs
client transaction fees, an incentive exists to limit trading activities in client accounts.
Our recommended custodians, TD Ameritrade, Inc. (“TD Ameritrade”) and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
(“Schwab”) collectively known as (“the custodians”) do not charge transaction fees for U.S. listed
equities and exchange traded funds. Since we pay the transaction fees charged by the custodian to
clients participating in our wrap fee program, our firm’s expenses have decreased. This presents a
conflict of interest because we are incentivized to recommend equities and exchange traded funds
over other types of securities in order to reduce our costs.
Our Wrap Advisory Services
Wrap Portfolio Management:
As part of our Wrap Portfolio Management service, a portfolio is created, consisting of individual stocks,
bonds, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), options, mutual funds and other public and private securities or
investments. The client’s individual investment strategy is tailored to their specific needs and may
include some or all of the previously mentioned securities. Portfolios will be designed to meet a
particular investment goal, determined to be suitable to the client’s circumstances. Once the appropriate
portfolio has been determined, portfolios are continuously and regularly monitored, and if necessary,
rebalanced based upon the client’s individual needs, stated goals and objectives.

Fees to be assessed will be outlined in the advisory agreement to be signed by the Client. Annualized
fees are billed on a pro-rata basis monthly in advance based on the value of the account(s) using the
Average Balance from the previous month. The calculation of Average Balance considers both the
market changes over the course of the billing period in addition to the time-weighted inflows and
outflows. Additional information regarding the calculation of a Client’s Average Balance, including
the formula for that calculation, is available upon the Client’s request.
ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure

For purposes of determining the threshold fee level reached by clients, our firm aggregates individual
client account assets as well as accounts within the same client household. Our firm will bill on cash
unless otherwise agreed to in writing. Fees are negotiable and will be deducted from client
account(s). Adjustments will be made for deposits and withdrawals during the month. In rare cases,
our firm will agree to directly invoice. As part of this process, Clients understand the following:
a) The client’s independent custodian sends statements at least quarterly showing the
market values for each security included in the Assets and all account disbursements,
including the amount of the advisory fees paid to our firm;
b) Clients will provide authorization permitting our firm to be directly paid by these terms.
c)
Our firm will send an invoice directly to the custodian; and
If our firm sends a copy of our invoice to the client, legend urging the comparison of
information provided in our statement with those from the qualified custodian will be
included.
Wrap Comprehensive Portfolio Management:
As part of our Wrap Comprehensive Portfolio Management service clients will be provided asset
management and financial planning or consulting services. This service is designed to assist clients
in meeting their financial goals through the use of a financial plan or consultation. Our firm conducts
client meetings to understand their current financial situation, existing resources, financial goals, and
tolerance for risk. Based on what is learned, an investment approach is presented to the client,
consisting of individual stocks, bonds, ETFs, options, mutual funds and other public and private
securities or investments. Once the appropriate portfolio has been determined, portfolios are
continuously and regularly monitored, and if necessary, rebalanced based upon the client’s individual
needs, stated goals and objectives. Upon client request, our firm provides a summary of observations
and recommendations for the planning or consulting aspects of this service.

-Continued on Next Page-
ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure

True Financial Group
Item 6: Portfolio Manager Selection & Evaluation
Selection of Portfolio Managers
Our firm’s investment adviser representatives (“IARs”) act as portfolio manager(s) for this wrap fee
program. A conflict arises in that other investment advisory firms may charge the same or lower fees
than our firm for similar services. Our IARs are subject to individual licensing requirements as
imposed by state securities boards. Our firm is required to confirm or update each IAR’s Form U4 on
an annual basis. IAR supervision is conducted by our Chief Compliance Officer or management
personnel.
Our firm does not utilize outside portfolio managers. All accounts are managed by our in-house
licensed investment adviser representatives (“IARs”) of our firm. Prior to becoming licensed with our
firm, each IARs industry experience, licensure, outside business activities, client complaints (if any),
disciplinary or regulatory history (if any) and financial well-being will be reviewed. Each IAR will
then have a Form U4 and ADV Part 2B on file with our firm.
Performance returns of wrap portfolios are reviewed at least quarterly. The nature of these reviews
is to learn whether client accounts are in line with their investment objectives and appropriately
positioned based on market conditions. If these standards fall below the client objectives, our firm
will discuss the review with the portfolio manager for proactive action to realign the investment
strategy.
Advisory Business:
Information about our wrap fee services can be found in Item 4 of this brochure. Our firm offers
individualized investment advice to our Wrap Portfolio Management and Wrap Comprehensive
Portfolio Management clients. Each Wrap Portfolio Management Wrap Comprehensive Portfolio
Management client may place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in the
portfolio. Restrictions on investments in certain securities or types of securities may not be possible
due to the level of difficulty this would entail in managing the account.
Participation in Wrap Fee Programs:
Our firm only offers wrap fee accounts to our clients, which are managed on an individualized basis
according to the client’s investment objectives, financial goals, risk tolerance, etc.
Performance-Based Fees & Side-By-Side Management:
Our firm does not charge performance-based fees.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies & Risk of Loss:
The following methods of analysis are utilized by our firm when formulating investment advice
and/or managing client assets:
ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure
Page 7
True Financial Group
Fundamental Analysis:
Fundamental analysis considers the economic, financial, and other
qualitative/quantitative factors that may impact the price of a security. Fundamental analysis
attempts to measure its intrinsic value as compared to its current price. Risks may include using
incorrect assumptions, financial misreporting and/or failure by management to disclose key,
material events, and unforeseen micro/macroeconomic factors that may cause the price of a security
to diverge from its intrinsic value.
Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) and Mutual Fund Analysis:
In executing our asset allocation
strategies, we analyze and then select the exchange traded funds and mutual funds that form the
basis of our portfolios. Our analysis and selection process is based on a range of criteria, including
but not limited to each fund’s investment objective, process for executing on its investment objective,
magnitude of fund expenses, and track record versus asset class benchmarks. We engage in ongoing
analysis of the funds being used in our portfolios as well as new and existing offerings in the
marketplace, and we update our portfolios as appropriate to reflect our updated analysis. A risk of
fund analysis is that future performance of a given fund does not reflect the past performance
documented as part of the analysis. In addition, there is a risk that a fund’s investment objective
and/or ability to execute on its objective may change over time.
The following investment strategies are used managing client accounts, provided that such strategies
are appropriate to the needs of the client and consistent with the client's investment objectives, risk
tolerance, and time horizons, among other considerations:
Asset Allocation:
We generally focus on identifying an appropriate allocation of securities,
maturities, and market sectors suitable for the client’s investment goals and risk tolerance. While
asset allocation is recognized by professional investment advisers as a prudent approach, a risk of
asset allocation is that the client may not participate in sharp increases in a particular security,
industry or market sector. Another risk is that the allocation will change over time due to market
movements in the various sectors, which, if not corrected, may no longer be appropriate for the
client’s goals.
Cash & Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents generally refer to either United States dollars
or highly liquid short-term debt instruments such as, but not limited to, treasury bills, bank CD’s and
commercial papers. Generally, these assets are considered nonproductive and will be exposed to
inflation risk and considerable opportunity cost risk. Investments in cash and cash equivalents will
generally return less than the advisory fee charged by our firm. Our firm may recommend cash and
cash equivalents as part of our clients’ asset allocation when deemed appropriate and in their best
interest. Our firm considers cash and cash equivalents to be an asset class. Therefore, our firm assess
an advisory fee on cash and cash equivalents unless indicated otherwise in writing.
Exchange Traded Funds:
An ETF is a type of Investment Company (usually, a closed-end fund or unit
investment trust) whose primary objective is to achieve the same return as a particular market index.
An ETF is similar to an index fund in that it will primarily invest in securities of companies that are
included in a selected market index. Unlike traditional mutual funds, which can only be redeemed at
the end of a trading day, ETFs trade throughout the day on an exchange. Like stock mutual funds, the
prices of the underlying securities and the overall market may affect ETF prices. Similarly, factors
affecting a particular industry segment may affect ETF prices that track that particular sector.
Individual Stocks:
A common stock is a security that represents ownership in a corporation. Holders
of common stock exercise control by electing a board of directors and voting on corporate policy.
Investing in individual common stocks provides us with more control of what you are invested in and
ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure
Page 8
True Financial Group
when that investment is made. Having the ability to decide when to buy or sell helps us time the
taking of gains or losses. Common stocks, however, bear a greater amount of risk when compared to
certificate of deposits, preferred stock and bonds. It is typically more difficult to achieve
diversification when investing in individual common stocks. Additionally, common stockholders are
on the bottom of the priority ladder for ownership structure; if a company goes bankrupt, the
common stockholders do not receive their money until the creditors and preferred shareholders
have received their respective share of the leftover assets.
Long-Term Purchases:
We may buy securities for your account and hold them for a relatively long
time (more than a year) in anticipation that the security’s value will appreciate over a long horizon.
The risk of this strategy is that we could miss out on potential short-term gains that could have been
profitable to your account. Moreover, if our predictions are incorrect, it’s possible that the security’s
value may decline sharply before we make a decision to sell.
Mutual Funds:
A mutual fund is a company that pools money from many investors and invests the
money in a variety of differing security types based the objectives of the fund. The portfolio of the
fund consists of the combined holdings it owns. Each share represents an investor’s proportionate
ownership of the fund’s holdings and the income those holdings generate. The price that investors
pay for mutual fund shares is the fund’s per share net asset value (NAV) plus any shareholder fees
that the fund imposes at the time of purchase (such as sales loads). Investors typically cannot
ascertain the exact make-up of a fund’s portfolio at any given time, nor can they directly influence
which securities the fund manager buys and sells or the timing of those trades. With an individual
stock, investors can obtain real-time (or close to real-time) pricing information with relative ease by
checking financial websites or by calling a broker or your investment adviser. Investors can also
monitor how a stock’s price changes from hour to hour—or even second to second. By contrast, with
a mutual fund, the price at which an investor purchases or redeems shares will typically depend on
the fund’s NAV, which is calculated daily after market close.
Short-Term Purchases:
We may buy securities for your account and decide to sell them within a
relatively short time horizon (less than a year) in order to capitalize on short-term price fluctuations.
There’s no guarantee, however, that this strategy will be able to produce gains.
Proprietary Models:
We develop proprietary asset allocation models and investment strategies as
part of our investment process. The purpose of these models and strategies is to create a foundation
for clients’ investment portfolios based on their individual risk tolerance, investment timeframe, and
specific investment goals. Our proprietary models provide recommended percentage allocation
ranges to specific asset classes based on risk tolerance. Our risk tolerance models typically range
from aggressive to conservative, with several levels in between. We then tailor our investment model
to fit clients’ individual investment needs and goals. The following are general descriptions of the
composition of our model portfolios:
Ultra-Aggressive
: Client is willing at accept the highest fluctuation in account value in exchange for
the highest return potential. Client is comfortable with an exposure of up to 100% in equities.
Very Aggressive
: Client is willing at accept a very high fluctuation in account value in exchange for a
very high return potential. Client is comfortable with an exposure of up to 95% in equities.
Aggressive
: Client is willing at accept a high fluctuation in account value in exchange for a high return
potential. Client is comfortable with an exposure of up to 85% in equities.
ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure
Page 9
True Financial Group
Moderately Aggressive
: Client is willing at accept a relatively high fluctuation in account value in
exchange for a relatively high return potential. Client is comfortable with an exposure of up to 75%
in equities.
Moderate
: Client is willing at accept a moderate fluctuation in account value in exchange for a
moderate return potential. Client is comfortable with an exposure of up to 65% in equities.
Moderately Conservative
: Client is willing at accept a relatively low fluctuation in account value in
exchange for a relatively low return potential. Client is comfortable with an exposure of up to 55% in
equities.
Conservative
: Client is willing at accept a low fluctuation in account value in exchange for a low
return potential. Client is comfortable with an exposure of up to 45% in equities.
Very Conservative
: Client is willing at accept a very low fluctuation in account value in exchange for
a very low return potential. Client is comfortable with an exposure of up to 35% in equities.
The risks associated with our proprietary models reflect risks similar to that of asset allocation
strategies. This includes that a client may not participate in sharp increases in a particular security,
industry or market sector. Another risk is that a client’s actual holdings may deviate from the model
over time and if not corrected, may no longer be appropriate for the client’s goals.
Please Note:
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
While the stock market may increase and your account(s) could enjoy a gain, it is also possible that
the stock market may decrease, and your account(s) could suffer a loss. It is important that you
understand the risks associated with investing in the stock market, are appropriately diversified in
your investments, and ask any questions you may have.
Voting Client Securities:
Our firm does not accept the proxy authority to vote client securities. Clients will receive proxies or
other solicitations directly from their custodian or a transfer agent. In the event that proxies are sent
to our firm, our firm will forward them to the appropriate client and ask the party who sent them to
mail them directly to the client in the future. Clients may call, write or email us to discuss questions
they may have about particular proxy votes or other solicitations.
Item 7: Client Information Provided to Portfolio Manager(s)
All accounts are managed by our in-house licensed IARs. The IAR selected to manage the client’s
account(s) or portfolio(s) will be privy to the client’s investment goals and objectives, risk tolerance,
restrictions placed on the management of the account(s) or portfolio(s) and relevant client notes
taken by our firm. Please see our firm’s Privacy Policy for more information on how our firm utilizes
client information.

Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions & Personal Trading
As a fiduciary, it is an investment adviser’s responsibility to provide fair and full disclosure of all material
facts and to act solely in the best interest of each of our clients at all times. Our fiduciary duty is the
underlying principle for our firm’s Code of Ethics, which includes procedures for personal securities
transaction and insider trading. Our firm requires all representatives to conduct business with the
highest level of ethical standards and to comply with all federal and state securities laws at all times.
Upon employment with our firm, and at least annually thereafter, all representatives of our firm will
acknowledge receipt, understanding and compliance with our firm’s Code of Ethics. Our firm and
representatives must conduct business in an honest, ethical, and fair manner and avoid all circumstances
that might negatively affect or appear to affect our duty of complete loyalty to all clients. This disclosure
is provided to give all clients a summary of our Code of Ethics. If a client or a potential client wishes to
review our Code of Ethics in its entirety, a copy will be provided promptly upon request.
Our firm recognizes that the personal investment transactions of our representatives demands the
application of a Code of Ethics with high standards and requires that all such transactions be carried out
in a way that does not endanger the interest of any client. At the same time, our firm also believes that if
investment goals are similar for clients and for our representatives, it is logical, and even desirable, that
there be common ownership of some securities.

In order to prevent conflicts of interest, our firm has established procedures for transactions effected by
. In order to monitor compliance with our personal
our representatives for their personal accounts
trading policy, our firm has pre-clearance requirements and a quarterly securities transaction reporting
system for all of our representatives.

his/her minor children or other dependents residing in the same household, (b) for which our associate is a trustee or executor, or (c) which our
associate controls, including our client accounts which our associate controls and/or a member of his/her household has a direct or indirect
beneficial interest in.

Neither our firm nor a related person recommends, buys or sells for client accounts, securities in
which our firm or a related person has a material financial interest without prior disclosure to the
client.
Related persons of our firm may buy or sell securities and other investments that are also
recommended to clients. In order to minimize this conflict of interest, our related persons will place
client interests ahead of their own interests and adhere to our firm’s Code of Ethics, a copy of which
is available upon request.
Likewise, related persons of our firm buy or sell securities for themselves at or about the same time they
buy or sell the same securities for client accounts. In order to minimize this conflict of interest, our
related persons will place client interests ahead of their own interests and adhere to our firm’s Code of
Ethics, a copy of which is available upon request. Further, our related persons will refrain from buying
or selling the same securities prior to buying or selling for our clients in the same day. If related persons’
accounts are included in a block trade, our related persons will always trade personal accounts last.
Review of Accounts
Our management personnel review accounts on at least an annual basis for our Wrap Portfolio
Management and Wrap Comprehensive Portfolio Management clients. The nature of these reviews is
to learn whether clients’ accounts are in line with their investment objectives, appropriately
positioned based on market conditions, and investment policies, if applicable. Our firm may review
client accounts more frequently than described above. Among the factors which may trigger an off-
cycle review are major market or economic events, the client’s life events, requests by the client, etc.
Our firm does not provide written reports to clients, unless asked to do so. Verbal reports to clients
take place on at least an annual basis when our Wrap Portfolio Management and Wrap
Comprehensive Portfolio Management clients are contacted.
Other Compensation
Our firm may recommend TD Ameritrade to clients for custody and brokerage services. There is no
direct link between our firm’s participation in the program and the investment advice given to clients,

not available to TD Ameritrade retail investors. These benefits include the following products and
services (provided without cost or at a discount): receipt of duplicate client statements and
confirmations; research related products and tools; consulting services; access to a trading desk
serving our firm’s participants; access to block trading (which provides the ability to aggregate
securities transactions for execution and then allocate the appropriate shares to client accounts); the
ability to have advisory fees deducted directly from client accounts; access to an electronic
communications network for client order entry and account information; access to mutual funds with
no transaction fees and to certain institutional money managers; and discounts on compliance,

endeavor at all times to put the interests of our clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that

brokerage services.
