Item 4: Advisory Business
Description of our Advisory Business and Services Offered
EGI Financial, Inc. is an Ohio corporation established in 1992 as an investment advisory
business. EGI Financial, Inc. is registered with the state of Ohio and regulated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission as a Registered Investment Advisory Firm. Principal owner(s) of
EGI Financial, Inc., (defined as 25% or more ownership) include Jeffrey C. Thomas who is also
President and Chief Compliance Officer.
EGI Financial, Inc. is affiliated with American Heritage Securities, Inc., (AHS) a FINRA
member broker-dealer as well as JCT Investment Counsel Inc., dba Alpha Asset Management,
an affiliated registered investment advisory firm. Affiliation is based upon all three companies
being owned by Jeffrey C. Thomas. Additionally, American Heritage Securities shares office
space and shares employees and EGI provides investment advisory services to certain clients
of AHS under the Private Investment Management (PIM) program provided by AHS custodian
Wells Fargo Clearing LLC (WFC). All Investment Advisor Representatives (IAR) of EGI are also
licensed as Series 7 Registered Representatives with FINRA under employment by AHS.
In May 2014, EGI Financial, Inc. and American Heritage Securities registered with the State of
Ohio to operate under trade name American Heritage Financial. The name American Heritage
Financial is for simplifying marketing purposes and all legal documents and agreements used by
both firms will continue to reflect their legal names.
EGI Financial Inc. provides investment advisory services, primarily in the form of Money
Management Services, to individuals, high-net worth individuals, businesses, retirement plans,
trusts, estates, and charitable organizations. Investment programs are developed to meet each
client’s specific needs. Investment portfolios consist of publicly traded securities; including
equities (stocks), government, corporate and municipal debt, certificates of deposit, investment
company securities (mutual funds, including exchange traded funds), and options.
EGI Financial Inc. also provides Retirement Plan Services which is, primarily, service to the
sponsors of “participant-directed” retirement plans established by the sponsors pursuant to
Section 404(c) of ERISA that permits a Plan participant to exercise control over the assets
contained in their individual retirement account (normally 401K accounts). EGI provides the Plan
sponsors with advice relative to choices of investment alternatives available to Plan participants.
These choices may include model portfolios designed and maintained by EGI. In addition, if
requested by the sponsor, EGI may provide Plan participants with general impersonal
informational seminars and/or materials that describe or explain the various investment options
available under the Plan. Seminars may include: participant education, enrollment meetings,
risk tolerance assessment, investment option selection, model portfolio creation, and
recommending and coordinating with outside service providers such as Record Keepers and
Third Party Administrators (TPAs). EGI does not receive, nor accept any compensation from
outside service providers.
In 2015, EGI Financial, Inc. began performing Investment Advisory services for clients of AHS
through an advisory platform provided by AHS custodian, Wells Fargo Clearing LLC (WFC). The

under management. The fee covers the costs of investment advisory services provided by EGI
and custodial services, transaction costs, statements, performance reporting and other
administrative services provided by FC. Fees are established by FC but are negotiable within
limits identified in the FC fee schedule. FC calculates and bills all fees to clients and FC retains
a portion of such fees to cover the cost of FC services with the remainder of the fee is paid to
AHS. No PIM fees, nor any other compensation, are paid to EGI for the PIM program.

Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies
and Risk of Loss
All investments involve risk of loss of principal and/or unexpected results. Investing in
securities involves a risk of loss that investors must be prepared to bear. We do not
represent or guarantee our strategies or methods can or will predict future results
successfully, nor do we guarantee against loss.
Money Management Services
While many money managers define their investment process as an Investment Strategy, we
believe that, as a result of the strong values, beliefs and principals built into our process, our
investment strategy is better defined as our Money Management Philosophy.
At EGI Financial we believe the primary value we add to the client relationship is our ability to
help clients attain the investment results required to achieve their individual financial
objectives. We have extensive investment experience, state of the art analytical tools and
professional networks which we use to develop and implement our Money Management
Philosophy.
There are three key aspects to our Money Management Philosophy.
o Portfolio Management: The overall process of achieving financial objectives while
managing risk.
Investment Philosophy: The disciplines that guide our investment decisions.
Investment Selection: The process of selecting and monitoring the specific
o
o
investments needed to achieve the client’s financial and risk
objectives.

Form ADV, February 6
Following is a discussion of the primary strategies, methods and analysis that are the basis of
our Money Management Philosophy.
Portfolio Management:
Portfolio management refers to our overall strategy to achieve objectives and manage risk.
The primary objectives we seek to achieve are growth, income and/or stability. Risk
management includes efforts to reduce volatility, loss of principal and loss of purchasing power.
After identifying a client’s risk and reward parameters in their Investment Policy Statement, we
use the following tools to manage risk and achieve their objectives.
Suitability: Suitability is the characteristic that determines if an investment is appropriate for
a given investor. Investments must have reasonable risk and reward characteristics relative
to the objectives of the client.
Diversification: The most effective investment tool to reduce risk and achieve consistent
returns is diversification. Portfolios are diversified among asset classes, industries and
market capitalization using a proprietary asset allocation model dependent on client
objectives and risk parameters as well as market conditions.
Proprietary Asset Allocation Model: Our proprietary asset allocation model provides better
defined diversification by identifying investments by “expectations.” Traditional allocation
models diversify through a mix of characteristics such as industry group, market
capitalization, asset class, etc. While such models provide diversification, they do little to
identify what the investment might provide to the investor or what the investor might expect
from owning the investment. Our proprietary asset allocation model identifies characteristics
such as growth, income, stability, speculation, market correlation or non-correlation. While
use of this model, along with traditional portfolio diversification strategies, does not guarantee
achievement of portfolio risk and reward objectives, our experience shows it improves
diversification, reduces risk and helps clients better understand the purpose each investment
is expected to provide toward the overall objectives of their investment plan.
Investment Philosophy:
Quality, Growth, Value, Diversification and a Long-Term Outlook are the disciplines that guide
our investment decisions or our Investment Philosophy.
Quality is a multi-faceted characteristic. We use fundamental analysis along with a thorough
study of a company’s business strategy and management to evaluate Quality in investment
opportunities. Growth companies can also be value investments. Growth at an attractive
price in relation to the rate, stability and reliability of growth equates to value.
While Quality, Growth and Value are critical, we strongly emphasize Diversification and a
Long-Term Outlook. By prudently investing among investment styles, we reduce risk and
enhance long-term performance. Investments are typically held a minimum of three years.
Investment Selection:
We use fundamental statistics, technical indicators and intangible characteristics to identify
investments which will provide attractive Quality, Growth and Value traits. For equities,
fundamental statistics used for investment selection include, but are not limited to,
price/earnings ratios, book value, debt ratios, market capitalization, discounted cash flows,
earnings growth, dividend growth and price to earnings growth ratios. Technical indicators
include moving averages, volume, and chart patterns. Intangible characteristics include quality
and consistency of management, business strategy, patents, competition, technology issues,
barriers to entry and general economic conditions. Fixed income investments are selected
8
EGI FINANCIAL, INC.
2026
Form ADV, February 6
primarily based on quality, safety and yield to maturity while also considering maturity dates,
duration, call features, current yield, the yield curve and the general interest rate cycle.
Client assets are invested primarily in domestic and international equities (stocks), fixed income
(debt instruments or bonds), and money markets (money funds and short-term fixed income
instruments). To a lesser extent, assets may be invested in commodities, master limited
partnerships (MLP’s), Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT’s), or options. Investments in
commodities are made only through Exchange Traded Funds (ETF’s) or mutual funds.
Investments are restricted to publicly traded securities which normally have daily published
market values. All investments are subject to risk of loss of principal and fluctuation of market
value. We attempt to limit risk through fundamental analysis, diversification and use of our
proprietary asset allocation model.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services:
• Provide non-discretionary investment advice to the Client (Plan Sponsor) about asset
classes and investment alternatives available for the Plan in accordance with the Plan’s
investment policies and objectives. The Client shall have the final decision-making authority

• Assist the client with the selection of a broad range of investment options consistent with
ERISA section 404(c) and the regulations thereunder.

document investment performance and conformances to the guidelines set forth in the
IPS and make recommendations to maintain or remove and replace investment options.

• The Client retains the sole responsibility to provide all notices to participants required under
ERISA section 404(c)(5).
Retirement Plan “Excluded Assets”: Client acknowledges that Adviser has no responsibility
to provide any services related to “Excluded Assets,” should such assets be included in the
Plan. “Excluded Assets are defined as: employer securities; real estate (except for real estate
funds and publicly traded REITs selected by the Advisor); participant loans; non-publicly traded
partnership interests; non-publicly traded securities or property; or other hard-to-value or illiquid
securities or property. Excluded Assets shall be disregarded in determining the Fees payable to
Adviser under this Agreement, and the Fees shall be calculated only on the remaining assets
(the “Included Assets”).

the personal securities accounts of certain personnel of the Company for evidence of
manipulative trading, trading ahead of clients, and/or insider trading.

are:
• No employee is to engage in any activity that is not in the best interests of clients or may

Investment Policy, which reflects the client’s financial situation, investment objectives
and risk parameters.

its employees trade the same security as being traded for a client the client’s order will
be placed and filled first or the EGI related trade may be included in “block” orders done
for groups of clients, as long the size of the transaction is not significant enough to affect
the transaction.

Item 12: Brokerage Practices
EGI Financial, Inc. recommends clients use Charles Schwab and Company as the third party
broker/dealer custodian for accounts managed by our firm; however, clients may use another
custodian if acceptable to EGI Financial, Inc. Clients will incur brokerage commissions and other
standard brokerage expenses from Charles Schwab and Company and such services may be
available through other brokers at lower cost. EGI Financial, Inc. has a non-affiliated, non-
compensational arrangement with Charles Schwab and Company as a result of having client
11
EGI FINANCIAL, INC.
2026
Form ADV, February 6
accounts held in custody with Charles Schwab and Company. No compensation is exchanged
between Charles Schwab and Company Charles Schwab and Company and EGI Financial, Inc.
as a result of this referral relationship. Charles Schwab and Company benefits from this
relationship in that they receive standard institutional brokerage commissions and other income
as a result of the clients’ brokerage activities. EGI Financial, Inc. benefits from this relationship
through services provided by Charles Schwab and Company which enable account
management, trading and access to non-proprietary research including Thomson Reuters Stock
Reports, Standard & Poor's Stock Reports, Vickers Insider Trading Chronologies, Argus
Company Reports, The Street Ratings Reports and Jaywalk Consensus Reports. This research
is not a “soft-dollar arrangement.”
EGI Financial, Inc. recommends clients use Charles Schwab and Company as custodian due to
their size, financial security and national reputation as well as low and competitive brokerage
commissions and the benefits EGI Financial, Inc. receives, as discussed above. EGI Financial,
Inc. does not receive client referrals from Charles Schwab and Company.
Retirement Plan assets are held in custody at mutual fund companies selected by the IAR and
client (Plan Sponsor).
Private Investment Management (PIM) assets are held in custody at Wells Fargo Clearing LLP
(WFC), the clearing firm for EGI Financial affiliate American Heritage Securities, Inc., a FINRA
registered broker/dealer. PIM is a program provided by FC specifically for use by advisory
clients receiving discretionary money management services from a Registered Investment
Advisor firm.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Client portfolios are reviewed a minimum of once per quarter by the Investment Advisor
Representative (IAR) assigned to the account. Additional reviews may be triggered by material
market, economic or political events or a change in client objectives or financial situation.
Reviews consist of an analysis of portfolio allocation compared to the portfolio’s objectives as
well as investment performance and investment fundamentals. Securities prices are reviewed a
minimum of once per week to monitor for unusual price activity. Investment Advisor
Representatives are: Edgar G. Ingraham, Michael D. Prescott, Brian D. Vincelette, Brian K.

Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
EGI Financial, Inc. does not have referral or other compensation arrangements with outside
parties.
Item 15: Custody
EGI Financial, Inc. does not have custody of client assets as defined by SEC Rule 206(4)-2
under the Advisors Act. Because EGI Financial, upon authority of the client and with notification
to the client, deducts advisory fees from client accounts as described in Item 5, Fees &
Compensation, we take what is defined as “limited” custody of client assets. All client funds or
securities are held with an independent “qualified” custodian who sends quarterly, or more
frequent, account statements directly to the client. Clients should carefully review statements
received from the custodian and compare them with any report or statement received directly
from EGI Financial, Inc. or its representatives.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
EGI Financial, Inc. manages assets on discretionary and non-discretionary basis. Managed on a
discretionary basis, means we buy and sell securities on the client’s behalf without prior consent
by the client. EGI’s discretionary management is dependent on the clients’ objectives and risk
parameters as identified in their Investment Policy Statement. Clients provide EGI Financial,
Inc. with the authority to manage their portfolios on a discretionary basis by signing a limited
Power of Attorney with the qualified custodian holding the client’s account and through signing
an Investment Advisory Contract. Clients may provide investment input or impose restrictions on
investing in certain securities or types of securities.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
EGI Financial, Inc. does not have authority to vote client securities. Clients receive proxies or
other solicitations directly from the custodian or a transfer agent and must vote themselves.
Clients are encouraged to contact their IAR with questions about voting their securities.
Item 18: Financial Information
EGI Financial, Inc. is not required to disclose a balance sheet based on prepaid fee rules or
custody of asset rules. EGI Financial, Inc. does have contractual agreements with clients
permitting discretionary managing of client assets. No financial condition exists that is
reasonably likely to impair EGI’s ability to meet its contractual commitments to clients. Should
EGI become aware of any such financial condition, this brochure will be updated and clients will
be notified.
