Item 4: Advisory Business
A. Conway Financial Group, LLC (the “Adviser,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an investment adviser
founded in 2001, registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and
principally owned by Patricia Conway and Dylan Camp.
B. Adviser offers the following types of advisory services:
i.
Annual Financial Planning & Investment Implementation Services. Annual Financial
Planning & Investment Implementation Services shall be inclusive of one meeting
between the client and Adviser per year during which Adviser shall assess the client’s
financial condition, cash flow, goals, risk tolerance, future income needs, liquidity
requirements, investment time horizon, and other information that is relevant to the
client’s financial life. This information will be used to deliver analyses and
recommendations with respect to various topics as mutually agreed between Adviser and
the client. Such topics could include, for example, retirement planning, education savings,
cash flow management, debt reduction, employee benefits analysis, estate planning,
insurance needs, investment allocations, risk mitigation, tax planning, financial goal
tracking, etc.
After the conclusion of the annual meeting between the client and Adviser described
above, the client may instruct Adviser to implement the investment transactions
discussed and agreed-to during such annual meeting in the client’s account(s). Pursuant
to a limited power of attorney signed by the client, Adviser shall execute such investment
transactions in the client’s account(s) at the client’s independent and unaffiliated
third-party custodial broker-dealer. Adviser shall not be granted any discretionary trading
authority in carrying out such transactions.
Except with respect to the client-directed investment transactions described above,
Adviser shall not be responsible for the actual implementation of its recommendations.
The responsibility to implement Adviser’s recommendations shall rest solely with the
client, and the client may accept or reject Adviser’s recommendations in its sole and
absolute discretion. If the client elects to act on any such recommendations, the client is
under no obligation to effect any transactions through Adviser or any of its investment
adviser representatives (“IARs”).
Financial planning topics and deliverables may include the following:
A Written Statement of Goals and Objectives
In the planning process, the client is encouraged to define his/her specific goals and to
answer such questions as “What do I hope to achieve with this process?” and “What are
my priorities, financially, for myself (spouse, children) and how can I achieve these
goals?”
A Risk Profile for Both the Client and the Spouse
You will be given a questionnaire to fill out independent of one another. This will help you
and us to better understand how you approach investment decisions and investment risk.
We will prepare your Investment Objectives and your Investment Risk Profile, which will
help determine how your investment portfolio should be distributed among various
investment asset classes.
Cash Flow and Tax Planning
You will be asked to provide, in great detail, information about your income and spending
habits, your investments, retirement funds, etc. This information will be held in the
strictest confidence. We will utilize this data in developing an investment distribution
Page 4 of 21
Date of Brochure: January 30, 2026
schedule, estimated taxable income report, and a cash flow projection. An income and
cash flow summary statement will help you understand how your funds are being
consumed and where you may have a shortfall, if any.
Investment Portfolio Allocation Implementation
A review of your investment portfolio, in conjunction with your goals and objectives, your
cash flow and your federal tax situation, will allow for the development of an investment
policy statement. This will summarize our portfolio target asset allocation, which
incorporates the client’s risk tolerance. A current investment distribution will be prepared
to show the client’s investment allocation mix utilizing fixed income, equities, and real
assets. Your investment plan will recommend changes, if any, which need to be made in
order to help achieve your stated objectives. Assistance in the implementation of the
recommendations will be provided.
Adviser generally implements its investments strategy by allocating clients’ investable
assets across a diversified risk-based portfolio of no-load mutual funds and/or exchange
traded funds (“ETFs”), as well as individual stocks and bonds. The asset allocation may
be changed from time to time based on changes to a client’s specific situation. Accounts
are held at the client’s Custodian and the Custodian may charge commissions for the
purchase or sale of a mutual fund, ETF, stock, or bond. The brokerage firm charges a fee
for stock and bond trades. Adviser does not receive any compensation, in any form, from
fund companies.
Investments may also include: corporate debt securities, certificates of deposit, municipal
securities, and investment company securities. Initial public offerings (IPOs) are not
available through Adviser.
Retirement Planning
A retirement needs analysis, based on your financial situation, may be prepared. This will
help to answer questions such as “Can I afford to retire?” and “Will I outlive my money?”.
Assumptions about income, social security, inflation, expectations, spending, and
longevity will all be written down and reviewed over time as needs and expectations
change.
Risk Management
A review of your current insurance coverage will provide assurance that you and your
family are adequately covered by financially stable insurance companies. This will
provide an opportunity to review your insurance with your agent and to make any
changes recommended.
Estate Planning
A review of your current estate plan, if appropriate, may be provided. An estate tax
analysis will show the possible tax implications on your estate with the first to die and the
subsequent death of the remaining spouse. This provides the opportunity to review, with
your estate planning attorney, your current documents and to make any additions or
changes to assure that your estate will pay the minimum in taxes and be distributed
according to your wishes.
Other Specific Client Needs
Other areas of concern such as education funding or disability needs, will be addressed
and will be included in your financial plan.
Special Project Plans
Projects may be undertaken that are not described in other types of agreements,
including the development and implementation of Investment Planning recommendations,
Page 5 of 21
Date of Brochure: January 30, 2026
periodic investment portfolio review, assistance with tax planning, or other services
specifically described in an engagement letter.
ii. Ongoing Investment Management. Adviser provides ongoing discretionary or
non-discretionary investment management services to its clients based upon each client’s
current financial condition, goals, risk tolerance, income, liquidity requirements,
investment time horizon, and other information that is relevant to the management of
clients’ account(s), and inclusive of ongoing financial planning advice and
recommendations over the course of the year. This information will then be used to make
investment decisions or recommendations that reflect clients’ individual needs and
objectives on an initial and ongoing basis. Adviser’s investment decisions and
recommendations will allocate portions of clients’ account(s) to various asset classes
classified according to historical and projected risks and rates of return. If a client grant’s
Adviser discretionary trading authority, Adviser will retain the discretion to buy, sell, or
otherwise transact in securities and other investments in a client’s accounts without first
receiving the client’s specific approval for each transaction. Such discretionary authority
is granted by a client in his or her investment management agreement with Adviser. If a
client does not grant Adviser non-discretionary trading authority, clients must first
authorize any such trading in their account(s). Clients may impose restrictions on
investing in certain securities or types of securities so long as such restrictions may
reasonably be implemented by Adviser.
C. Adviser generally implements its investments strategy by allocating clients’ investable assets
across a diversified risk-based portfolio of no-load mutual funds and/or exchange traded funds
(“ETFs”), stocks, and bonds. This portfolio is rebalanced periodically to remain in-line with the
client’s agreed-upon asset allocation, though the asset allocation may be changed from time to
time based on changes to a client’s specific situation.
D. Adviser does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
E. When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (the “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:
i. Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
ii.
iii.
iv.
prudent advice);
Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give
loyal advice);
Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your
best interest;
Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
v.
vi. Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.

Item 5: Fees and Compensation
A. Annual Financial Planning & Investment Implementation Fee. In consideration of the Annual
Financial Planning & Investment Implementation Services described above, the client shall pay
Adviser an annual flat fee that is due and payable by the client upon presentation of an invoice
after each annual meeting between the client and Adviser. Such fees will generally range from
$3,000 to $15,000, and the specific fee agreed-upon between Adviser and the client shall be set
forth in a written agreement and assessed annually.
B. Ongoing Investment Management Fee. In consideration of the Ongoing Investment Management
Services described above, the client shall pay Adviser an annual flat fee in three incremental
installments within 30 days of presentation of an invoice in February, June, and October. Adviser
generally imposes a minimum annual fee of $3,500 for Ongoing Investment Management, but
annual fees may range up to $50,000. The specific fee agreed-upon between Adviser and the
client shall be set forth in a written agreement and assessed annually.
C. The considerations taken into account for determining fees include the client’s investable assets,
the number of custodians/investment accounts, client’s income, a calculation of the estimated
hours to provide the services required, and the complexity of the client’s financial issues.
D. Fees may be payable by check, through a third-party payment processor, or deducted from the
client’s designated account at the client’s custodian broker-dealer.
Adviser reserves the right to stop work on any fee that is more than 60 days overdue. Any unused
portion of fees collected in advance will be refunded within 15 days. Any earned, unpaid fees will
be due and payable.
E.
In addition to the fees charged by Adviser, clients will incur brokerage and other transaction costs.
Please refer to Item 12: Brokerage Practices, for further information on such brokerage and other
transaction-related practices. Clients will also typically incur additional fees and expenses
imposed by independent and unaffiliated third-parties, which can include qualified custodian fees,
mutual fund or exchange traded fund fees and expenses, mark-ups and mark-downs, spreads
paid to market makers, wire transfer fees, check-writing fees, early-redemption charges, certain
deferred sales charges on previously-purchased mutual funds, margin fees, charges or interest,
IRA and qualified retirement plan fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and
securities transactions. These additional charges are separate and apart from the fees charged
by Adviser.
F. Neither Adviser nor any of its supervised persons accepts compensation for the sale of securities
or other investment products.

Item 6: Performance-Based Fees & Side-By-Side
Management
Neither Adviser nor any of its supervised persons accepts performance-based fees (fees based on a
share of capital gains or capital appreciation of the assets of a client).
Page 8 of 21
Date of Brochure: January 30, 2026
Item 7: Types of Clients
Adviser generally provides its services to individuals, trusts, and estates. Adviser does not require a
minimum account value to open or maintain an account, though we do require a minimum annual fee of
$3,500 for Ongoing Investment Management Services.
Page 9 of 21
Date of Brochure: January 30, 2026
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies & Risk
of Loss
A. The investment strategies used by Adviser when formulating investment advice or managing
assets include fundamental analysis and cyclical analysis. Investing in securities involves risk of
loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Past performance does not guarantee future returns.
The firm’s investment philosophy is built with the objective for long term capital appreciation
through the development of a well diversified investment allocation strategy. Our emphasis is
focused on capital preservation and minimizing overall portfolio volatility. We consider: no-
load mutual funds, ETFs, dividend paying stocks, individual municipal
bonds and corporate bonds, to create the portfolio. Portfolios are globally diversified to
control the risk associated with traditional markets.
A review of your investment portfolio, in conjunction with your goals and objectives, your cash
flow and your federal tax situation, will allow for the development of an investment policy
statement. This will summarize our portfolio target asset allocation, which incorporates the
client’s risk tolerance. A current investment distribution will be prepared to show the client’s
solid investment allocation mix utilizing fixed income, equities, and real assets. Your financial
plan will recommend changes, if any, which need to be made in order to help achieve your
stated goals. Assistance in the implementation of the recommendations will be provided.
B. Like any investment strategy, fundamental and cyclical analysis involve material risks. Such
material risks are described in further detail below:
i.
Investing for the long term means that a client’s account will be exposed to short-term
fluctuations in the market and the behavioral impulse to make trading decisions based on
such short-term market fluctuations. Adviser does not condone short-term trading in an
attempt to “time” the market, and instead coaches clients to remain committed to their
financial goals. However, investing for the long term can expose clients to risks borne out
of changes to interest rates, inflation, general economic conditions, market cycles,
geopolitical shifts, and regulatory changes.
ii.
Inflation risk is the risk that the value of a client’s portfolio will not appreciate at least in an
amount equal to inflation over time. General micro- and macro-economic conditions may
also affect the value of the securities held in a client’s portfolio, and general economic
downturns can trigger corresponding losses across various asset classes and security
types. Market cycles may cause overall volatility and fluctuations in a portfolio’s value,
and may increase the likelihood that securities are purchased when values are
comparatively high and/or that securities are sold when values are comparatively low.
Geopolitical shifts may result in market uncertainty, lowered expected returns, and
general volatility in both domestic and international securities. Regulatory changes may
have a negative impact on capital formation and increase the costs of doing business,
and therefore result in decreased corporate profits and corresponding market values of
securities.
iii.
Investing in mutual funds does not guarantee a return on investment, and shareholders of
a mutual fund may lose the principal that they’ve invested into a particular mutual fund.
Mutual funds invest into underlying securities that comprise the mutual fund, and as such
clients are exposed to the risks arising from such underlying securities. Mutual funds
charge internal expenses to their shareholders (which can include management fees,
administration fees, shareholder servicing fees, sales loads, redemption fees, and other
fund fees and expenses, e.g.), and such internal expenses subtract from its potential for
market appreciation. Shares of mutual funds may only be traded at their stated net asset
Page 10 of 21
Date of Brochure: January 30, 2026
value (“NAV”), calculated at the end of each day upon the market’s close.
Investing in ETFs bears similar risks and incurs similar costs to investing in mutual funds
as described above. However, shares of an ETF may be traded like stocks on the open
market and are not redeemable at an NAV. As such, the value of an ETF may fluctuate
throughout the day and investors will be subject to the cost associated with the bid-ask
spread (the difference between the price a buyer is willing to pay (bid) for an ETF and the
seller's offering (asking) price).
Clients are encouraged to carefully read the prospectus of any mutual fund or ETF to be
purchased for investment to obtain a full understanding of its respective risks and costs.
iv.
Investing in common stocks means that a client will be subject to the risks of the overall
market as well as risks associated with the particular company or companies whose
stock is owned. These risks can include, for example, changes in economic conditions,
growth rates, profits, interest rates and the market’s perception of these securities.
Common stocks tend to be more volatile and more risky than certain other forms of
investments, especially as compared to fixed income products like bonds.
v.
Investing in bonds means that a client will be subject to the market prices of such debt
securities, which typically fluctuate depending on interest rates, credit quality, and
maturity. In general, market prices of debt securities decline when interest rates rise and
rise when interest rates fall. The longer the time to a bond’s maturity, the greater its
interest rate risk. Bonds are also subject to inflation risk, reinvestment risk, redemption
risk, and valuation risk.

Item 9: Disciplinary Information
There are no legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client’s or prospective client’s evaluation of
Adviser’s advisory business or the integrity of Adviser’s management.
Page 12 of 21
Date of Brochure: January 30, 2026
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities & Affiliations
A. Neither Adviser nor any of its management persons are registered, or have an application
pending to register, as a broker-dealer or a registered representative of a broker-dealer.
B. Neither Adviser nor any of its management persons are registered, or have an application
pending to register, as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity
trading advisor, or an associated person of the foregoing entities.
C. Neither Adviser nor any of its management persons have any relationship or arrangement with
any related person below:

Page 13 of 21
Date of Brochure: January 30, 2026
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions & Personal Trading
A. Adviser has adopted a code of ethics that will be provided to any client or prospective client upon
request. Adviser’s code of ethics describes the standards of business conduct that Adviser
requires of its supervised persons, which is reflective of Adviser’s fiduciary obligations to act in
the best interests of its clients. The code of ethics also includes sections related to compliance
with securities laws, reporting of personal securities transactions and holdings, reporting of
violations of the code of ethics to Adviser’s Chief Compliance Officer, pre-approval of certain
investments by access persons, and the distribution of the code of ethics and any amendments to
all supervised persons followed by a written acknowledgement of their receipt.
B. Neither Adviser nor any of its related persons recommends to clients, or buys or sells for client
accounts, securities in which Adviser or any of its related persons has a material financial
interest.
C. From time to time, Adviser or its related persons will invest in the same securities (or related
securities such as warrants, options or futures) that Adviser or a related person recommends to
clients. This has the potential to create a conflict of interest because it affords Adviser or its
related persons the opportunity to profit from the investment recommendations made to clients.
Adviser’s policies and procedures and code of ethics address this potential conflict of interest by
prohibiting such trading by Adviser or its related persons if it would be to the detriment of any
client and by monitoring for compliance through the reporting and review of personal securities
transactions. In all instances Adviser will act in the best interests of its clients.
D. From time to time, Adviser or its related persons will buy or sell securities for client accounts at or
about the same time that Adviser or a related person buys or sells the same securities for its own
(or the related person’s own) account. This has the potential to create a conflict of interest
because it affords Adviser or its related persons the opportunity to trade either before or after the
trade is made in client accounts, and profit as a result. Adviser’s policies and procedures and
code of ethics address this potential conflict of interest by prohibiting such trading by Adviser or
its related persons if it would be to the detriment of any client and by monitoring for compliance
through the reporting and review of personal securities transactions. In all instances Adviser will
act in the best interests of its clients.
Page 14 of 21
Date of Brochure: January 30, 2026
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
A. Adviser considers several factors when recommending a custodial broker-dealer for client
transactions and determining the reasonableness of such custodial broker-dealer’s
compensation. Such factors include the custodial broker-dealer’s industry reputation and financial
stability, service quality and responsiveness, execution price, speed and accuracy, reporting
abilities, and general expertise. Assessing these factors as a whole allows Adviser to fulfill its duty
to seek best execution for its clients’ securities transactions. However, Adviser does not
guarantee that the custodial broker-dealer recommended for client transactions will necessarily
provide the best possible price, as price is not the sole factor considered when seeking best
execution. After considering the factors above, Adviser recommends Charles Schwab & Co, Inc.
(“Schwab”) as the custodial broker-dealer for client accounts.
i.
Adviser does not receive research and other soft dollar benefits in connection with client
securities transactions, which are known as “soft dollar benefits”. However, the custodial
broker-dealer(s) recommended by Adviser do provide certain products and services that
are intended to directly benefit Adviser, clients, or both. Such products and services
include (a) an online platform through which Adviser can monitor and review client
accounts, (b) access to proprietary technology that allows for order entry, (c) duplicate
statements for client accounts and confirmations for client transactions, (d) invitations to
the custodial broker-dealer(s)’ educational conferences, (e) practice management
consulting, and (f) occasional business meals and entertainment.
The receipt of these products and services creates a conflict of interest to the extent it
causes Adviser to recommend Schwab as opposed to a comparable custodial
broker-dealer. Adviser addresses this conflict of interest by fully disclosing it in this
brochure, evaluating Schwab based on the value and quality of its services as realized by
clients, and by periodically evaluating alternative broker-dealers to recommend.
ii.
Adviser does not consider, in selecting or recommending custodial broker-dealers,
whether Adviser or a related person receives client referrals from a custodial
broker-dealer or third-party.
iii.
Adviser does not routinely recommend, request, or require that a client direct Adviser to
execute transactions through a specified custodial broker-dealer.
B. Adviser retains the ability to aggregate the purchase and sale of securities for clients’ accounts
with the goal of seeking more efficient execution and more consistent results across accounts.
Aggregated trading instructions will not be placed if it would result in increased administrative and
other costs, custodial burdens, or other disadvantages. If client trades are aggregated by Adviser,
such aggregation will be done so as not to disadvantage any client and to treat all clients as fairly
and equally as possible.
Page 15 of 21
Date of Brochure: January 30, 2026
Item 13: Review of Accounts
A. The CCO of Adviser monitors client accounts on an ongoing basis, and typically reviews client
accounts on an annual basis. Such reviews are designed to ensure that the client is still on track
to achieve his or her financial goals, and that the investments remain appropriate given the
client’s risk tolerance, investment objectives, major life events, and other factors. Clients are
encouraged to proactively reach out to Adviser to discuss any changes to their personal or
financial situation.
B. Other factors that may trigger a review include, but are not limited to, material developments in
market conditions, material geopolitical events, and changes to a client’s personal or financial
situation (the birth of a child, preparing for a home purchase, plans to attend higher education, a
job transition, impending retirement, death or disability among family members, etc.).
C. The custodial broker-dealer will send account statements and reports directly to clients no less
frequently than quarterly. Such statements and reports will be mailed to clients at their address of
record or delivered electronically, depending on the client’s election. If agreed to by Adviser and
client, Adviser or a third-party report provider will also send clients reports to assist them in
understanding their account positions and performance, as well as the progress toward achieving
financial goals.
Page 16 of 21
Date of Brochure: January 30, 2026
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Nobody other than clients provides an economic benefit to Adviser for providing investment
advice or other advisory services to clients. However, as described above in Item 12, the
custodial broker-dealer(s) recommended for client accounts provides certain products and
services that are intended to directly benefit Adviser, clients, or both.
B. Neither Adviser nor a related person directly or indirectly compensates a person who is not
Adviser’s supervised person for client referrals.
Page 17 of 21
Date of Brochure: January 30, 2026
Item 15: Custody
For clients that do not have their fees deducted directly from their account(s), and have not provided
Adviser with any standing letters of authorization (“SLOAs”) to distribute funds from their account(s) to
third parties, Adviser will not have any custody of client funds or securities.
For clients that have their fees deducted directly from their account(s), or that have provided Adviser with
discretion as to amount and timing of disbursements pursuant to an SLOA to disburse funds from their
account(s) to third parties, Adviser will generally be deemed to have custody over such clients’ funds
pursuant to applicable custody rules and guidance thereto. At no time will Adviser accept custody of client
funds or securities in the capacity of a custodial broker-dealer or other qualified custodian, and at all times
client accounts will be held by a third-party qualified custodian as described in Item 12, above.
With respect to custody that is triggered by third party SLOAs, Adviser endeavors to comply with the
following seven conditions as listed in the 2017 SEC No Action Letter to the Investment Adviser
Association:
1. The client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that includes the client’s
signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or the third party’s account
number at a custodian to which the transfer should be directed.
2. The client authorizes the investment adviser, in writing, either on the qualified custodian’s form or
separately, to direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or from time to time.
3. The client’s qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction, such as a
signature review or other method to verify the client’s authorization, and provides a transfer of
funds notice to the client promptly after each transfer.
4. The client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the client’s qualified custodian.
5. The investment adviser has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third
party, the address, or any other information about the third party contained in the client’s
instruction.
6. The investment adviser maintains records showing that the third party is not a related party of the
investment adviser or located at the same address as the investment adviser.
7. The client’s qualified custodian sends the client, in writing, an initial notice confirming the
instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
If a client receives account statements from both the custodial broker-dealer and Adviser or a third-party
report provider, client is urged to compare such account statements and advise Adviser of any
discrepancies between them.

Date of Brochure: January 30, 2026
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Adviser accepts discretionary authority to manage designated accounts on behalf of clients only pursuant
to the mutual written agreement of Adviser and the client through a power-of-attorney, which is typically
contained in the advisory agreement signed by Adviser and the client. This includes the authority to buy,
sell, and otherwise transact in securities and other investment products in client’s account(s) without
necessarily consulting with clients in advance. Clients may place reasonable limitations on this
discretionary authority so long as it is contained in a written agreement and/or power-of-attorney.

Item 17: Voting Client Securities
A. Adviser does not have and will not accept authority to vote client securities.
B. Clients will receive their proxies or other solicitations directly from their custodial broker-dealer or
a transfer agent, as applicable, and should direct any inquiries regarding such proxies or other
solicitations directly to the sender.

commitments to clients.
