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. Fee Schedule Assets Under Management Annual Percentage of Assets Charge $0 to $499,999.99.99 $500,000 to $999,999.99 $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 Over $2,000,000 1.00% 0.80% 0.60% 0.40% 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 Page 4 True Financial Group 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.

Wrap Fee Program Recommendations Our firm does not recommend or offer the wrap program services of other providers. Item 5: Account Requirements & Types of Clients Our firm does not impose requirements for opening and maintaining accounts or otherwise engaging us. Our firm has the following types of clients: • • Individuals and High Net Worth Individuals; & Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans -Continued on Next Page- ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure Page 6 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. ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure Page 10 True Financial Group Item 8: Client Contact with Portfolio Manager(s) Clients are always free to directly contact their portfolio manager(s) with any questions or concerns about their portfolios or other matters.
