Item 4 – Advisory Business
Firm Information
The firm was organized as an LLC in 2010 and registered as an investment advisor with the SEC in 2021.
Buchanan Wealth Management was built on the foundation of integrity and the strength of relationship. It strives
to serve and advise its clients in a manner that is objective. This disclosure brochure provides information
regarding the qualifications, business practices and details of the advisory services and the applicable fees.
Principal Owner
Matthew S. Buchanan, CFP®
CEO, Founder and Chief Compliance Officer
Matt has been a financial advisor since 2003. He serves as the company’s founder
and Chief Executive Officer, and specializes in wealth management and insurance
planning. He is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certificant and has his

Advisory Services Offered
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC provides financial planning and fee-based investment advisory services
primarily to individual Clients and high-net worth individuals with a focus on retirement. Services are also
available to businesses and financial institutions. Accounts are managed based on the individual goals,
objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each Client.
Assets are managed on a discretionary basis where the client grants Buchanan Wealth Management ongoing and
continuous discretionary authority to execute its investment recommendations without prior approval of each
transaction. Investment strategies and recommendations are tailored to the individual needs of each Client but
generally consist of an asset allocation consistent with:
• Income with Capital Preservation. Designed as a longer-term accumulation account, this investment
objective is considered generally the most conservative. Emphasis is placed on generation of current
income with minimal risk of capital loss. Lowering the risk generally means lowering the potential
income and overall return.
• Income with Moderate Growth. This investment objective emphasizes generation of current income
with a secondary focus on moderate capital growth.
Page 4 of 41
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
• Growth with Income. This investment objective emphasizes modest capital growth with some focus on
generation of current income.
• Growth. This investment objective emphasizes achieving high long-term growth and capital
appreciation.
• Aggressive Growth. This investment objective emphasizes aggressive growth and maximum capital
appreciation, with no focus on generation of current income. This objective has an extremely high level
of risk and is for investors with a longer timer horizon.
At no time will Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities.
All Client assets will be managed within their designated brokerage account or pension account, pursuant to the
Client investment advisory agreement on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis.
• Investment advice is not limited to certain investment types.
• A minimum total investment amount of $500,000 is generally required.
• Advisory services are tailored to the individual need of each Client.
LPL Financial Sponsored Platforms
Strategic Wealth Management
Strategic Wealth Management is the name of the custodial account offered through LPL to support investment
advisory services provided by Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC. Within a SWM account, Investment
Advisor Representatives provide advice on the purchase and sale of various types of investments, such as mutual
funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), and equities. The advice is tailored to the individual needs of the Client
based on the investment objective chosen by the Client to help assist Clients in attempting to meet their financial
goals. Accounts are reviewed on a regular basis and rebalanced as necessary according to each Client’s
investment profile. More specific account information and acknowledgements are further detailed in the account
opening documents. Investment Advisor Representatives can offer SWM as a wrap or a non-wrap account. The
accounts offer the same investment choices and are managed in the same manner, but the fee structure is
different. For non-wrap fee accounts, Clients are charged transaction fees in addition to the advisory fee whereas
for a wrap fee account, the transactions fees are sponsored (paid) by Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC.
LPL Sponsored Wrap Fee Programs
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC also offers a wrap fee program where LPL serves as the sponsor and
portfolio manager. While LPL serves as the wrap fee sponsor and portfolio manager, Buchanan Wealth
Management, LLC manages the allocation of funds between the different portfolios and available fund selections.

ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
Optimum Market Portfolios Program (OMP)
The Optimum Market Portfolios (OMP) program offers clients the ability to participate in a
professionally managed asset allocation program designed by LPL Financial. There are up to six
Optimum Funds that may be purchased within an OMP account:
1. Optimum Large Cap Growth Fund
2. Optimum Large Cap Value Fund
3. Optimum Small Cap Growth Fund
4. Optimum Small Cap Value Fund
5. Optimum International Fund
6. Optimum Fixed Income Fund
Buchanan Wealth Management will obtain the necessary financial data from each client and then select
the proper fund portfolio program. While Buchanan Wealth Management selects the proper portfolio
program, LPL Financial will manage the underlying Optimum Funds on a discretionary basis consistent
with the portfolio program objectives. LPL Financial does not directly manage fund assets on behalf of
any particular client. LPL Financial follows an asset allocation investment style in constructing portfolios
for the Program. Asset allocation methodology is implemented by combining investments representing
various asset classes that react differently to varying market conditions. Thus, if one asset class reacts
negatively to certain market events, the potential exists for another asset class to react positively. As with
any investment strategy, there is no guarantee that the use of an asset allocation strategy will produce
favorable results. Buchanan Wealth Management is responsible for educating the client about this
investment style in advance of opening the Account by explaining the various asset classes (e.g., large
cap growth, large cap value, etc.) being used within the selected portfolio. This educational process
continues throughout the time that the client maintains the account.
OMP is one of several portfolio platforms centrally managed by LPL Financial. OMP enables advisors
of Buchanan Wealth Management to manage client assets through diversified asset allocation models,
professional money management, automatic rebalancing, and online marketing and sales support. A
minimum account value of $1,000 is required for OMP.
Model Wealth Portfolios Program (MWP)
MWP offers Clients a professionally managed mutual fund asset allocation program. Buchanan Wealth
Management, LLC will obtain the necessary financial data from the Client, assist the Client in
determining the suitability of the MWP program and assist the Client in setting an appropriate investment
objective. Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC will initiate the steps necessary to open an MWP account
and have discretion to select a model portfolio designed by LPL’s Research Department consistent with
the Client’s stated investment objective. LPL’s Research Department, a third-party
Page 6 of 41
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
portfolio strategist and/or Advisor, through its Investment Advisor Representative, may act as a portfolio
strategist responsible for selecting the mutual funds or ETFs within a model portfolio and for making
changes to the mutual funds or ETFs selected.
The Client will authorize LPL to act on a discretionary basis to purchase and sell mutual funds and ETFs
and to liquidate previously purchased securities. The Client will also authorize LPL to effect rebalancing
for MWP accounts. MWP requires a minimum asset value for a program account to be managed. The
minimums vary depending on the portfolio(s) selected and the account’s allocation amongst portfolios.
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC Wrap Fee Program
Strategic Wealth Management – is a comprehensive, open-architecture, fee-based investment platform created by
LPL Financial (LPL) to allow Independent Investment Advisors such as Buchanan Wealth Management to offer
Clients customized advice and service. The platform provides a foundation to develop long-term financial goals
and provide potential solutions. With this platform, multiple investments can be in a single account with one
consolidated statement. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities.
SWM can be offered as a wrap fee program where Buchanan Wealth Management acts as the sponsor and
portfolio manager. As the sponsor, Buchanan Wealth Management provides regular and continuous management
and advice to clients regarding the allocation of assets. The assets typically consist of mutual funds and ETFs.
The cost to manage an account, advisory fees and transaction expenses are “wrapped” into a single fee.
• Please see Appendix 1 –Wrap Fee Program Brochure, which is included as a supplement to this Disclosure
Brochure for additional details.

Retirement Plan Rollovers
An employee generally has four (4) options for their retirement plan when they leave an employer:
1. Leave the money in his/her former employer’s plan, if permitted
2. Rollover the assets to his/her new employer’s plan if one is available and permitted
3. Rollover to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), or
4. Cash out the account value, which has significant tax considerations
Each of these options has advantages and disadvantages and before making a change we encourage you to speak
with your CPA and/or tax attorney. If you are considering rolling over your retirement funds to an IRA for us
to manage here are a few points to consider before you do so:
• Determine whether the investment options in your employer's retirement plan address your needs or
whether you might want to consider other types of investments.
• Employer retirement plans generally have a more limited investment menu than IRAs.
• Employer retirement plans may have unique investment options not available to the public such as
employer securities, or previously closed funds.
• Your current plan may have lower fees than our fees.
If you elect to roll the assets to an IRA that is subject to our management, we will charge you an asset-based fee
as set forth in the agreement you executed with our firm. This practice presents a conflict of interest because
Investment Advisor Representatives have an incentive to recommend a rollover to you for the purpose of
generating fee-based compensation rather than solely based on your needs. You are under no obligation,
contractually or otherwise, to complete the rollover. Moreover, if you do complete the rollover, you are under
no obligation to have the assets in an IRA managed by our firm.
Many employers permit former employees to keep their retirement assets in their company plan. Also, current
employees can sometimes move assets out of their company plan before they retire or change jobs. In
determining whether to complete the rollover to an IRA, and to the extent the following options are available,
you should consider the costs and benefits of each. An employee will typically be investing only in mutual
funds, you should understand the cost structure of the share classes, available in your employer's retirement plan
and how the costs of those share classes compare with those available in an IRA. Clients should understand the
various products and services they might take advantage of at an IRA provider and the potential costs of those
products and services.
Page 8 of 41
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
• Our strategy may have higher risk than the option(s) provided to you in your plan.
• Your current plan may also offer financial advice.
• If you keep your assets titled in a 401k or retirement account, participants could potentially delay their
required minimum distribution age.
• A 401(k) may offer more liability protection than a rollover IRA; each state may vary.
• Participants may be able to take out a loan on your 401k, but not from an IRA.
• IRA assets can be accessed any time; however, distributions are subject to ordinary income tax and may
also be subject to a 10% early distribution penalty unless they qualify for an exception such as disability,
higher education expenses or the purchase of a home.
• If company stock is owned in a plan, participants may be able to liquidate those shares at a lower capital
gains tax rate.
• Plans may allow Advisor to be hired as the manager and keep the assets titled in the plan name.
Generally, federal law protects assets in qualified plans from creditors. Since 2005, IRA assets have been
generally protected from creditors in bankruptcies. However, there can be some exceptions to the general rules
so you should consult with an attorney if you are concerned about protecting your retirement plan assets from
creditors.
It is important to understand the differences between these types of accounts and to decide whether a rollover is
the best option. Prior to proceeding, if you have questions contact your Investment Adviser Representative, or
call our main number as listed on the cover page of this brochure.
When Buchanan Wealth Management provides 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);
Page 9 of 41
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
• 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
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
Buchanan Wealth Management also provides educational services to retirement plan participants with assets that
could potentially be rolled-over to an IRA advisory account. Education is based on a particular Client’s financial
circumstances and best interests. Again, Advisor has an incentive to recommend such a rollover based on the
compensation received, which is mitigated by the fiduciary duty to act in a Client’s best interest and acting
accordingly.
Retirement Plan Consulting to Institutional Retirement Plan Clients
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC provides fee-based retirement plan consulting services for compensation
to institutional retirement plan clients. Services include both discretionary and non-discretionary plan-level
fiduciary services as well as non-fiduciary, ministerial services to the plan to assist fiduciaries in meeting their
obligations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). Specifically, services include, but
are not limited to, the following:
Plan-level, Discretionary Fiduciary Services
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC may provide plan-level, discretionary fiduciary services to retirement plan

ensuring full integration of the retirement plan offering and its benefits
Participant-level, Non-fiduciary Services
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC can provide non-fiduciary, educational services to participants in the plan.
This includes but is not limited to assistances with on-site participant education or education over the web.
Unless otherwise agreed, if the Plan makes available employer stock or other securities; real estate (except for
real estate and other publicly traded REITs); individual annuities, life insurance or other individual contracts;
stock brokerage accounts or self-directed mutual fund windows, participant loans, non-publicly traded
partnership interests or other non-publicly traded securities or property (except for collective trusts); or any other
hard to value or illiquid securities or property (collectively, “Excluded Assets”), Buchanan Wealth Management,
LLC will not provide investment advice regarding these Excluded Assets and are not responsible for the decision
to offer Excluded assets as investment options.
From time-to-time Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC can make the Plan or Plan participants aware of and may
offer services available from IARs that are separate and apart from the services provided under Retirement Plan
Consulting. Such other services may include services to one or more Plan participants. In offering any such
services, the IAR is not acting as a fiduciary under ERISA and will act solely within the Department of Labor’s
Interpretive Bulletin 96-1 providing education only. If any such separate services are offered to a client, the client
will make an independent assessment of such services without reliance on the advice or judgment of the IAR.
Financial Planning Services
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC, through its Investment Advisor Representatives, generally provides
financial planning as part of a comprehensive asset management engagement. However, financial planning is
available separately for a separate fee. The type of planning can vary greatly depending on the scope and
complexity of an individual’s financial situation. Examples of the type of planning available include but are not
limited to the following:
Page 11 of 41
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure

• Tax Planning – Efficient tax planning to maximize gains. Buchanan Wealth Management can

of helping more of what you earn
• Education Planning – Planning to pay the future college/education expenses of a child or
grandchild.
• Insurance / Asset Protection Planning – Planning for the financial needs of survivors to satisfy
such financial obligations as housing, dependent child-care and spousal arrangements as well as
education.
• Estate Planning / Wealth Transfer – Planning that focuses on the most efficient and tax-friendly
option to pass on an estate to a spouse, other family members or a charity.
• Investment Planning – Planning an investment strategy consistent with objectives, time horizons
and risk tolerances.
• Small Business Planning – Planning to help ensure business success in such areas as:
Retirement Savings Plans
Business Tax Strategies
Defined Contribution Plans
Business Succession Planning
Defined Benefit Plans
Executive Compensation Plans
401(k) & 403(b) Plans
Group Long Term Care
Deferred Compensation Plans
Stock Ownership Plans
Prior to engaging the firm to provide stand-alone planning or consulting services, Clients are required to enter
into an Agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the engagement (including termination), describing
the scope of the services to be provided, and the portion of the fee that is due from the Client prior to the firm
commencing services.
Hourly Consulting Services
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC, through its Investment Adviser Representatives, can provide hourly
consulting services instead of a comprehensive financial planning when a narrower scope of services is
appropriate. Hourly consulting considers information collected from the client such as financial status,
investment objectives and tax status, among other data. The Investment Adviser Representatives may or may
not deliver a written analysis or report as part of the services. The engagement terminates upon final consultation
with the client.
Page 12 of 41
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Investment Management
Fees are paid quarterly in advance and will generally not exceed 1.35% of assets under management unless the
scope, complexity, amount of time or expertise required warrant a higher fee. The account custodian calculates
the advisory fee based on the prior quarter end value, multiplied by the advisory fee divided by 360 and then
multiplied by 90. The fee is deducted based on a separate written authorization between the custodian and the
Client. The advisory fee schedule is the same for wrap or non-wrap accounts.
Portfolio Size
Annual Tiered Advisory Fee
Additional Amounts over $5,000,000
0.80%
On the Next $3,000,000
0.95%
On the Next $1,000,000
On the Next $500,000
1.10%
1.20%
On the first $500,000
1.35%
• Clients will receive quarterly statements from the Custodian that provides details of the advisory fees.
• The investment advisory fee in the first period of service is pro-rated from the inception date of the
account[s] to the end of the first quarter.
• If the advisory agreement is terminated before the end of the quarterly period, Client is entitled to a pro-
rated refund of any pre-paid quarterly advisory fee based on the number of days remaining in the quarter
after the termination date.
• Asset management fees are exclusive of and in addition to, brokerage fees, transaction fees, and other
related costs and expenses.
• The firm will not have the authority or responsibility to value portfolio securities.
• Fees are generally not negotiable.
Mutual Fund Share Class Disclosures
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC strives to select the lowest cost share class available; however, certain
mutual fund share classes charge a 12b-1 fee that generally amounts to an additional .25% expense ratio or more.
The purpose of 12b-1 fees, as approved by the SEC, are to cover marketing expenses and shareholder services
such as support services and “other expenses” such as legal, accounting and the administrative functions of the
custodian. When selecting a mutual fund, Investment Advisor Representatives have a fiduciary duty to choose
the share class that helps manage the overall fee structure of the account. The entire fee structure
Page 13 of 41
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
includes such fees as the asset management fee, the expense ratio and ticket charges.
• Mutual funds typically offer multiple share classes, including lower-cost share classes that do not
charge 12b-1 fees and are therefore usually less expensive.
• Investment Advisor Representatives will consider investing Client funds in 12b-1 fee-paying share
classes even when a lower-cost share class is available as appropriate to account for the overall fee
structure and tax considerations as well as attributes of a fund not available for lesser fees.
Financial Planning
The fee for financial planning is based on an hourly rate of $300 a hour. Hourly fees are generally charged as they
are incurred.
• Comprehensive Financial Planning: $300 an hour.
The amount of time required is based on the scope and complexity of a particular Client’s financial situation as
well as the amount of expertise required. In some cases, a fee greater or lesser then the typical fee range may be
warranted.
Hourly Consulting Services
The fee for hourly consulting is generally $300 an hour based on the scope and complexity as well as the amount
of time and/or expertise required.
Retirement Plan Consulting
The fee for Retirement Plan Consulting will generally not exceed 0.50% of plan assets under management plus
a flat $500 fee per quarter. The total estimated fee, as well as the ultimate fee charged is based on the scope and
complexity of the engagement. The fee-paying arrangement for Retirement Plan Consulting will be outlined in a
separate agreement.
Compensation for Sales of Securities
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC does not receive commission compensation for advisory services.
Other Fees and Expenses
Clients will incur transaction charges for trades executed in a non-Wrap Fee account. These transaction fees are
separate from our fees. Also, Clients will pay the following separately incurred expenses, which we do not
receive any part of: charges imposed directly by a mutual fund, index fund, or exchange traded fund which shall
be disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (i.e., fund management fees and other fund expenses). If a Client’s assets
are invested in mutual funds or other pooled investment products, Clients should be aware that there will be two
Page 14 of 41
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
layers of advisory fees and expenses for those assets. Client will pay an advisory fee to the fund manager and
other expenses as a shareholder of the fund. Client will also pay Advisor the advisory fee with respect to those
assets. Most of the mutual funds available in the program may be purchased directly. Therefore, Clients could
generally avoid the second layer of fees by not using the management services of Buchanan Wealth Management,
LLC and by making their own investment decisions. Further information regarding fees assessed by a mutual
fund is available in the appropriate prospectus.
Termination
A contract between Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC and a Client may be cancelled at any time and billing
will be stopped as soon as reasonable efforts allow. Clients will be given this brochure form ADV Part 2A,
forty-eight hours in advance of signing an agreement or they will have five business days to unconditionally
cancel the agreement.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC does not accept performance-based fees, fees based on a share of capital gains
on or capital appreciation of the assets of a Client (such as a Client that is a hedge fund or other pooled investment
vehicle).
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC also does not participate in side-by-side management, where an advisor
manages accounts that are both charged a performance-based fee and accounts that are charged another type of
fee, such as an hourly or flat fee or an asset-based fee.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
The advisory services offered by Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC are available for individuals, individual
retirement accounts (“IRAs”), and profit-sharing plans, including plans subject to Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and other business entities or trusts.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC emphasizes continuous and regular account supervision. As part of our
asset management service, we generally create a portfolio, consisting of mutual funds and equities. The Client’s
individual investment strategy is tailored to their specific needs and may include some or all of the previously
mentioned securities. Each portfolio will be initially designed to meet a particular investment goal, which we
determine to be suitable to the Client’s circumstances. Once the appropriate portfolio has been determined, it is
subject to review and if necessary, rebalanced based upon the Client’s individual needs, stated goals and
objectives. Each Client can place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in the portfolio.
Page 15 of 41
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC uses multiple forms of research to analyze financial data and market
conditions such as the general financial health of a company, and/or the analysis of management or competitive
advantages, past market data (primarily price and volume), business cycles as well as patterns and trends. The
firm also conducts the following types of analysis to make investment decisions.
• The Science of Investing - Rather than relying on futile forecasting or trying to outguess others, we
draw information about expected returns from the market itself—letting the collective knowledge of
its millions of buyers and sellers set security prices. Letting markets do what they do best—drive
information into prices—frees us to spend time where we believe we have an advantage, namely in
how we interpret the market to inform our clients, how we design and manage portfolios, and how
we service our clients. It means we take a less subjective, more systematic approach to investing—an
approach we can implement consistently and investors can understand and stick with, even in
challenging market environments.
• Efficient Market Strategies - Individual equity investments designed to selectively mirror the
positions of an index while actively reallocating as market conditions change.
• Quantitative & Qualitative Strategies - Investing based on a quantitative measure of less tangible
qualitative factors such as regulatory structure, track-record, stability of management, asset size and
composition, expense ratio and performance.
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities can fluctuate in value or lose value up to the
entire principal amount invested. Clients should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Buchanan Wealth
Management, LLC will assist Clients in determining an appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and
other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals. While
the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the
investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis
may lose value and may have negative investment performance. Investment Advisor Representatives monitor
economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the
Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition,
goals or other factors that may affect this analysis. The risks associated with a particular strategy are
Page 16 of 41
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine
their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction process.
The firms’ methods of analysis and investment strategies do not represent any significant or unusual risks
however all strategies have inherent risks and performance limitations. However, Clients should be aware of
the following types of risks that apply to investing and are encouraged to discuss the specific risks applicable to
their account holdings:
• Business Risk – the measure of risk associated with a particular security. It is also known as
unsystematic risk and refers to the risk associated with a specific issuer of a security. Generally
speaking, all businesses in the same industry have similar types of business risk. More specifically,
business risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a particular company stock or a bond may go
bankrupt or be unable to pay the interest or principal in the case of bonds.
• Call Risk – the risk specific to bond issues and refers to the possibility that a debt security will be
called prior to maturity. Call risk usually goes hand in hand with reinvestment risk because the
bondholder must find an investment that provides the same level of income for equal risk. Call risk is
most prevalent when interest rates are falling, as companies trying to save money will usually redeem
bond issues with higher coupons and replace them on the bond market with issues with lower interest
rates.
• Credit Risk – the risk that an investor could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income
security is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations.
• Currency/Exchange Rate Risk – the risk of a change in the price of one currency against another.
• Exchange Traded Fund and Mutual Fund Risk – The risk of owning an ETF or mutual fund
generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities the ETF or mutual fund holds. Clients
may incur additional costs associated with ETFs and mutual funds. Consumer Discretionary ETF
Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and can be bought and sold on the secondary market at
market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of a Consumer Discretionary ETF Share
typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price and
the NAV vary significantly. Thus, the client may pay more or less than NAV when the Consumer
Discretionary ETF Shares are purchased on the secondary market, and the client may receive more or
less than NAV when you sell those shares. Although Consumer Discretionary ETF Shares are listed
for trading on NYSE Arca, it is possible that an active trading market may not be maintained and
Trading of Consumer Discretionary ETF Shares on NYSE Arca may be halted by the activation of
individual or market wide "circuit breakers" (which halt trading for a specific period of time when
Page 17 of 41
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
the price of a particular security or overall market prices decline by a specified percentage). Trading
of Consumer Discretionary ETF Shares may also be halted if the shares are delisted.
•
Inflationary Risk – the risk that future inflation will cause the purchasing power of cash flow from an
investment to decline.
•
Interest Rate Risk – the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase
in interest rates; a bond or a fixed income fund with a longer duration will be more sensitive to changes
in interest rates than a bond or bond fund with a shorter duration.
• Legislative Risk – the risk of a legislative ruling resulting in adverse consequences.
• Liquidity Risk – the possibility that an investor may not be able to buy or sell an investment as and
when desired or in sufficient quantities because opportunities are limited.
• Margin Risk – the risk of losing more money than initially invested due to the amplified effect of
losses when investing with borrowed money.
• Market Risk – the risk that the value of securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or
unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries.
• Pandemic Risk – Large-scale outbreaks of infectious disease that can greatly increase morbidity and
mortality over a wide geographic area, crossing international boundaries, and causing significant
economic, social, and political disruption.
• Reinvestment Risk – the risk that falling interest rates will lead to a decline in cash flow from an
investment when its principal and interest payments are reinvested at lower rates.
• Social/Political – the possibility of nationalization, unfavorable government action or social changes
resulting in a loss of value.
• Taxability Risk – the risk that a security that was issued with tax-exempt status could potentially lose
that status prior to maturity. Since municipal bonds carry a lower interest rate than fully taxable bonds,
the bond holders would end up with a lower after-tax yield than originally planned.
• Transparency Risk – the risk of not having ready access to required financial information about a
company, such as price levels, market depth, and audited financial reports.
Page 18 of 41
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
All investments involve varying degrees of risk, and it should not be assumed that future performance of any
specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable or equal any specific performance level(s). Investing
in securities and other investments involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to
bear. Clients are reminded to discuss these risks with the Advisor.
Types of Investments
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC generally manages Client portfolios that consist of mutual funds, Exchange
Traded Equities (ETFs) and limited individual securities.
• Mutual Funds – a pool of funds collected from many investors for the purpose of investing in securities
such as stocks, bonds, money market instruments and similar assets.
o Open-End Mutual Funds – a type of mutual fund that does not have restrictions on the amount of
shares the fund will issue and will buy back shares when investors wish to sell. Investing in mutual
funds carries the risk of capital loss and thus Clients may lose money investing in mutual funds.
All mutual funds have costs that lower investment returns. The funds can be of bond “fixed
income” nature (lower risk) or stock “equity” nature.
o Closed-End Mutual Funds – a type of mutual fund that raises a fixed amount of capital through
an initial public offering (IPO). The fund is then structured, listed, and traded like a stock on a
stock exchange. Clients should be aware that closed-end funds available within the program are
not readily marketable. In an effort to provide invest or liquidity, the funds may offer to repurchase
a certain percentage of shares at net asset value on a periodic basis. Thus, Clients may be unable to
liquidate all or a portion of their shares in these types of funds.
o Alternative Strategy Mutual Funds – Certain mutual funds available in the program invest
primarily in alternative investments and/or strategies. Investing in alternative investments and/or
strategies may not be suitable for all investors and involves special risks, such as risks associated
with commodities, real estate, leverage, selling securities short, the use of derivatives, potential
adverse market forces, regulatory changes, and potential illiquidity. There are special risks
associated with mutual funds that invest principally in real estate securities, such as sensitivity to
changes in real estate values and interest rates and price volatility because of the fund’s
concentration in the real estate industry.
• Equity – An investment that generally refers to buying shares of stocks in return for receiving a future
payment of dividends and/or capital gains if the value of the stock increases. The value of equity securities
may fluctuate in response to specific situations for each company, industry conditions and the general
economic environment.
Page 19 of 41
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
• Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) – An ETF is a portfolio of securities invested to track a market index
similar to an index mutual fund, but the shares are traded on an exchange like an equity. An ETF share
price fluctuates intraday depending on market conditions instead of having a net asset value (NAV) that
is calculated once at the end of the day. The shares may trade at a premium or discount; and as a result,
investors pay more or less when purchasing shares and receive more or less than when selling shares. The
supply of ETF shares is regulated through a mechanism known as creation and redemption that involves
large, specialized investors, known as authorized participants (APs). Authorized participants are large
financial institutions with a high degree of buying power, such as market makers, banks or investment
companies that provide market liquidity. When there is a shortage of shares in the market, the authorized
participant creates more (creation). Conversely, the authorized participant will reduce shares in circulation
(redemption) when supply falls short of demand. Multiple authorized participants help improve the
liquidity of a particular ETF and stabilize the share price. To the extent that authorized participants cannot
or are otherwise unwilling to engage in creation and redemption transactions, shares of an ETF tend to
trade at a significant discount or premium and may face trading halts and delisting from the exchange.
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the complete loss of principal. ETFs also
have a trading risk based on cost inefficiency if the ETFs are actively traded and a liquidity risk if the
ETFs has a large price spread and low trading volume. In addition, investors buying or selling shares in
the secondary market pay brokerage commissions, which may be a significant proportional cost not
incurred by mutual funds.
• Cash Positions – Based on perceived or anticipated market conditions and/or events, certain assets can
be taken out of the market and held in a defensive cash position. All cash may be included as assets
subject to the agreed upon advisory fee. Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC, generally invest Client’s
cash balances in money market funds, FDIC Insured Certificates of Deposit, high-grade commercial
paper and/or government backed debt instruments. Ultimately, the firm tries to achieve a reasonable
return on our Client’s cash balances through relatively low-risk conservative investments.
Cash balances invested in LPL’s multi-bank insured cash account (ICA) program are invested in Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured deposit accounts at one or more bank or other participating
depository institutions. However, clients receive the same interest rate across all ICA deposit accounts
taken in the aggregate based on a percentage of the average daily deposit balance. LPL receives a fee from
the institutions participating in the ICA program based on the value of advisory assets held in the ICA
program. This fee could be higher than the interest rate received by clients and/or could reduce the rate a
client could receive elsewhere.
Additional types of investments will be considered per Client for asset allocation and risk management purposes.

There are no legal, regulatory, or disciplinary events involving Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC or any of
its Supervised Persons.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Broker/Dealer Affiliation
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC does not have a broker/dealer affiliation.

Certain Advisory Persons are also a

recommendations are separate and apart from one’s role with Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC. As an insurance
professional, certain Advisory Persons receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the various
insurance companies whose products are sold. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset regular
advisory fees. This causes a conflict of interest in recommending certain products of the insurance companies.
Clients are under no obligation to implement any recommendations made by the Investment Advisor Representative
in their capacity as an insurance agent. Clients can choose to engage an Investment Advisor Representative of
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC in their capacity as a registered representative of the unaffiliated LPL Financial
broker/dealer, to implement investment recommendations on a commission basis.
This chart is intended to explain the potential capacity a Financial Advisor can serve, and the type of compensation
received.

Conflicts of interests exist because insurance sales create an incentive to recommend products based on the

Neither Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC nor any of the management persons are registered or has a registration
pending to register as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity trading advisor, or an
associated person of the foregoing entities.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines our fiduciary
commitment to each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with the firm (our “Supervised Persons”).
Page 21 of 41
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
The Code was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding our duties to
you, our Client. The firm and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith towards each
Client. It is the obligation of the firm’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the
Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address
employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of our Code, please contact us at (703) 956-2633 or
by email at matt@buchananwealth.com.
Personal Trading with Material Interest
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the firm does not
act as the general partner of a fund or advise an investment company. Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC does
not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC allows our Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may
be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities, we recommend (purchase or
sell) to you presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, we must disclose to you and mitigate through policies
and procedures. As noted above, we have adopted a Code of Ethics to address insider trading (material non-public
information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting.
Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
Supervised Persons may not purchase or sell any security immediately prior to or immediately after a transaction
being implemented for an advisory account, thereby preventing an employee from benefiting from transactions
placed on behalf of advisory accounts.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC recommends Clients establish a brokerage account with a qualified
custodian to maintain custody of assets and to effect trades. Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC recommends
Altruist and LPL Financial LLC as qualified custodians. These same custodians provide brokerage and custodial
services to other independent investment advisory firms, in addition to Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC.
Broker/dealers are compensated by Clients through commissions, trails, or other transaction-based fees for trades
that are executed or settled. For IRA accounts, custodians generally charge an account maintenance fee and
miscellaneous fees, such as account transfer fees. Clients should be aware that the firm is limited to offering only
the services and investments approved by the custodian.
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker/dealers whereby an advisor enters
into an agreement to place security trades with the broker in exchange for research and other services.
LPL Financial makes available various products and services designed to assist the firm in managing and
administering Client accounts. These services include software and other technology that provide access
to Client account data (such as trade confirmation and account statements); facilitation of trade execution
Page 22 of 41
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
(and research reports or other information about particular companies or industries; economic surveys,
data and analyses; financial publications; portfolio evaluation services; financial database software and
services; computerized news and pricing services; quotation equipment for use in running software used
in investment decision-making. These support services are provided based on the overall relationship
without a minimum production level or value of assets held with the custodian. Consequently, it is not
the result of soft dollar arrangements or any other express arrangements that involve the execution of
Client transactions as a condition to receive the services.
2. Brokerage Referrals - Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC does not receive any compensation from
any third party in connection with the recommendation for establishing a brokerage account.
3. Transaction Fees -The Custodian charges brokerage commissions and transaction fees for effecting
certain securities transactions (i.e., transaction fees are charged for certain no-load mutual funds,
commissions are charged for individual equity and debt securities transactions). The Custodian enables
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC to obtain many no-load mutual funds without transaction charges
and other no-load funds at nominal transaction charges. The Custodian’s commission rates are generally
discounted from customary retail commission rates. However, the commission and transaction fees
charged by the Custodians may be higher or lower than those charged by other custodians and
broker/dealers.
4. Best Execution - In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but
whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range
of a broker/dealer’s services, including the value of research provided, execution capability, commission
rates, and responsiveness. Accordingly, although we will seek competitive rates, to the benefit of all
Clients, we may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for specific Client account
transactions.
5. Aggregating and Allocating Trades - The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale
of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the most favorable net results taking into account such factors
as price, size of order and difficulty of execution. Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC does not
aggregate purchases and sales for various Client accounts, but orders can be aggregated by the custodian.
6. Cash Sweep Program - Investment portfolios often include a cash allocation to maintain liquidity,
manage risk, and provide funds for opportunistic investments. Cash allocations can serve as a buffer
against market volatility and ensure funds are readily available for future investment opportunities or
withdrawals. Sweep programs automatically transfer uninvested cash from a brokerage account into a
money market fund or other short-term investment vehicle at the custodian. This process is automated
and occurs regularly, often at the end of each business day. While the cash is held in the sweep account,
it earns interest. This ensures that even idle cash generates some return, albeit typically lower than other
investment options. By automating cash movement, sweep programs reduce the need for manual
transfers, saving time and minimizing the risk of human error in managing cash balances. Sweep
accounts provide quick access to cash for reinvestment or withdrawals, enhancing liquidity management
Page 23 of 41
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
within the portfolio. Minimizing manual cash management tasks reduces administrative burdens for
investors and advisors, allowing them to focus on strategic investment decisions. Sweep programs often
offer lower interest rates than short-term investments like high-yield savings accounts or CDs. This is
due to their liquidity and convenience. While convenient, the lower interest rates mean that investors can
miss out on higher returns if cash is kept in the sweep account for extended periods. The advisor uses
sweep programs strategically to manage cash flows within a portfolio, ensuring that cash is readily
available for investment opportunities without sacrificing significant returns. Sweep accounts can also
be used to facilitate regular transactions, such as automatic withdrawals for living expenses or periodic
investments in other asset classes. While sweep programs offer convenience and liquidity, they require
careful consideration as part of an overall investment strategy. Advisors and clients should weigh the
benefits of liquidity and automation against the potential for higher returns through alternative cash
management strategies.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
For those Clients to whom Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC provides investment advisory services, account
reviews are conducted on an ongoing basis by the Investment Advisor Representative. All Clients (in person or
via telephone) are encouraged to review financial planning issues (to the extent applicable), investment objectives
and account performance with their Investment Advisor Representative. In addition, each Client relationship
shall be reviewed at least annually. Reviews may be conducted more or less frequently at the Client’s request.
Accounts may also be reviewed as a result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the
Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account. The Client is encouraged
to notify Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC if changes occur in the Client’s personal financial situation that
might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews may be triggered by material market,
economic or political events. Clients will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian.
These brokerage statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client can also establish
electronic access to the Custodian’s website so they can view these reports and their account activity. Client
brokerage statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s].
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC is a fee-based advisory firm, that is compensated by its Clients to provide
investment advice and not from any investment product or someone other than the Client. Buchanan Wealth
Management, LLC does not receive commissions or other economic benefit or compensation from product
sponsors, broker/dealers or any un-related third party.
Compensation Client Referrals from Solicitors

Clients are then provided with a list of up to five individual SmartVestor Pros that are located within the specific
market assigned to the client’s zip code. Unless a client opts out of having their contact information shared, each
Pro will generally contact a referred client within one business day of receiving the contact information. Buchanan
Wealth Management pays a monthly membership fee plus a monthly advertising fee for being a SmartVestor Pro.
The fees paid by Buchanan Wealth Management are payable regardless of whether any client chooses to
communicate with or enter into an agreement with the firm.
Item 15 – Custody
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC does not accept or maintain actual custody of funds or securities. A qualified
custodian is responsible to provide Clients with trade confirmations, tax forms and quarterly statements that
include account balance(s). Clients are advised to carefully review the information provided by the custodian and
notify their Investment Advisor Representative with any questions or if such information is not received. Clients
authorize the custodian by separate agreement to deduct advisory fees on behalf of Buchanan Wealth
Management, LLC.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC provides investment advisory services on a discretionary basis. Prior to
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC assuming discretionary authority over a Client’s account, the Client shall
be required to execute an Investment Advisory Agreement, naming Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC as the
Client’s attorney and agent in fact, granting Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC full authority to buy, sell, or
otherwise effect investment transactions involving the assets in the Client’s name found in the discretionary
account.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will
receive proxy statements directly from the Custodian. Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC will assist in
answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions

Item 4 – Services, Fees and Compensation
Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC provides investment advisory services where the asset management fee
and ticket charges are "wrapped" into a single payment. This Wrap Fee Program Brochure is provided as a
supplement to the firm’s Disclosure Brochure (Form ADV 2A) to provide further details of the business practices
and fee structure. This Wrap Fee Program Brochure references back to the firm’s Form ADV 2A in which this
Wrap Fee Program Brochure serves as an Appendix. Please see Item 4 – Advisory Services of the Form ADV
2A for details on the firm’s investment philosophy and related services.
• Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC is the sponsor and portfolio manager of this Wrap Fee Program
and receives investment advisory fees paid by Clients and pays the Custodian for the costs associated
with the regular trading activity.
• Investment advisory fees will be calculated and deducted from the Client’s account by direct agreement
between the Client and LPL Financial. Client will receive independent statements from the Custodian.
The amount due is calculated based on the following formula: (Quarter End Value x Advisory Fee) / 360)
x 90 = Advance Billing.
Participation in this wrap fee program costs less than purchasing such services separately.
Other Fees and Expenses
Mutual funds and exchange-traded funds have separate operating costs that are described in each fund's
prospectus. These fees and costs will generally be used to pay management fees, account administration (e.g.,
custody, brokerage, and account reporting), and a possible distribution fee. Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC
does not receive any of the fees charged by a mutual fund or ETF. A Client could invest in these products directly,
without the services of Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC , but would not receive the advisory services to
assist in determining which products or features are most appropriate for their financial situation and objectives.
Accordingly, the Client should review the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by the firm to fully
understand the total costs. Only advisory fees are retained by Buchanan Wealth Management, LLC.
