Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Erickson Financial Group, LLC (“Erickson Financial” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor
registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a limited
liability company (“LLC”) under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania. Erickson Financial was founded in
December 2013 and became a registered investment advisor in February 2019. Erickson Financial is owned and
operated by Kerry D. Erickson (Managing Partner) and Timothy J. Erickson (Partner and Chief Compliance
Officer). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the
advisory services provided by Erickson Financial.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Erickson Financial offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
businesses and retirement plans (each referred to as a “Client”).
Erickson Financial serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a
fiduciary, the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate
potential conflicts of interest. Erickson Financial’s fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code
of Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation
or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Investment Management Services
Erickson Financial provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through
continuous personal Client contact and interaction while typically providing discretionary investment management
and related advisory services. Erickson Financial works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals
and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. Erickson
Financial typically constructs investment portfolios utilizing exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), low-cost mutual
funds and individual equity securities. The Advisor may, at times, advise upon or utilize other types of
investments, to meet the needs of particular Clients. The Advisor may retain other types of investments from the
Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as
identified between the Advisor and the Client.
Erickson Financial’s investment approach is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-
allocate positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market
conditions. Erickson Financial will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals,
objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to
place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to
acceptance by the Advisor.
Erickson Financial evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its
internal due diligence process. Erickson Financial may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment
allocations to diversify the portfolio. Erickson Financial may recommend specific positions to increase sector or
asset class weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against
market movement. Erickson Financial may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not
limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of
securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of Client,
generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement
accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will
provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over
the assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to

https://www.ericksonfinancialgroup.com
Page 4
another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based
account to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a
new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll
over a retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
At no time will Erickson Financial accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the
limited authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within their designated
account[s] at the Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage
Practices.
Financial Planning Services
Erickson Financial will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients, either as
a component of investment management or pursuant to a written financial planning agreement. Services are
offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals and objectives.
Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific
financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may
encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement planning,
personal savings, education savings, insurance needs and other areas of a Client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.
Erickson Financial may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their
unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the
Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the
Advisor may not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six months of
contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor
for investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would
increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any
recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects
to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the
transaction through the Advisor.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Erickson Financial provides retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans (each a “Plan”)
and the company/sponsor (the “Plan Sponsor”) The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to
assist the Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Each
engagement is customized to the needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services generally include:
Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
•
•
Investment Oversight Services (ERISA 3(21))
• Plan Participant Enrollment and Education Tracking
• Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
• Performance Reporting
• Benchmarking Services
These services are provided by Erickson Financial serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2),

the Plan Sponsor is provided with a written description of Erickson Financial’s fiduciary status, the specific
services to be rendered and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the
engagement.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Erickson Financial to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into
one or more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the
Advisor and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – Erickson Financial, in connection with the Client, will develop a
strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and destinations.
• Asset Allocation – Erickson Financial will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – Erickson Financial will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet
the stated goals and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – Erickson Financial will provide investment management and
ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Erickson Financial does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management
services are provided directly by Erickson Financial.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, Erickson Financial manages $169,212,484 in Client assets, $166,326,100 of which
are managed on a discretionary basis and $2,886,384 on a non-discretionary basis. Clients may request more
current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into one or
more written agreements with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees are paid monthly, at the end of each month, pursuant to the terms of the agreement.
Investment advisory fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of each month.
Investment advisory fees are based on the following schedule:
Assets Under Management ($)
First $250,000
Next $250,000
Next $500,000
Next $1,000,000
Next $1,000,000

Certain legacy Clients may have fee schedules that differ from the above. The investment advisory fee in the first
month of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the end of the first month. Fees may be
negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets
under management with Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by Erickson Financial will be

independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuation to
ensure accurate billing.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable transaction and custody fees, and other related
costs and expenses described in Item 5.C. below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor shall
not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Financial Planning Services
Erickson Financial may include financial planning services as part of the overall investment advisory fee or offer
services separately. Standalone engagements are offered either on an hourly basis or for a fixed fee. The hourly
fee is $300 per hour. Fixed fee engagements are based on the expected number of hours to complete the
engagement at the Advisor’s hourly rate and range from $600 to $9,000. An estimate for total hours and/or costs
will be provided prior to engaging for these services. Fees may be negotiable based on the scope of services, the
complexity of the services to be provided, the experience of the Advisory Person delivering the services, and the
overall relationship with the Advisor.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual asset-based fee up to 0.50%, billed monthly in
arrears, pursuant to the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement. Retirement plan advisory fees are based
on the market value of assets under management at the end of each month. Fees may be negotiable depending on
the size and complexity of the Plan.
B. Fee Billing
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at
the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted
from the Client’s account[s] at the end of each month. The amount due is calculated by applying the monthly rate
(annual rate divided by 12) to the total assets under management with Erickson Financial at the end of the month.
Clients will be provided with a statement, generally monthly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the
investment advisory fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify the accuracy of these fees as listed on the
Custodian’s brokerage statement as the Custodian does not assume this responsibility. Clients provide written
authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Erickson Financial to be paid directly from their account[s]
held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate account forms provided by the
Custodian.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning fees may be invoiced up to fifty percent (50%) of the expected total fee upon execution of the
financial planning agreement. The balance shall be invoiced upon completion of the agreed upon deliverable[s].
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement plan advisory fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the assets of the
Plan, depending on the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Erickson Financial, in connection
with investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and
securities execution fees charged by the Custodian, if applicable. The Advisor's recommended Custodian does
not charge securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in a Client’s account, provided that the account
meets the terms and conditions of the Custodian’s brokerage requirements. However, the Custodian typically
charges for mutual funds and other types of investments. The fees charged by Erickson Financial are separate
and distinct from these custody and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to Erickson Financial for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the
expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are

described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees
for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and
a possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the service provided
by Erickson Financial, but would not receive the services provided by Erickson Financial, which are designed,
among other things, to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each
Client’s financial situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the
fund[s] and the fees charged by Erickson Financial to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Investment Management Services
Erickson Financial may be compensated for its services at the end of the month after investment management
services are rendered. Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing
advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment advisory agreement within
five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the
Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be
due and payable by the Client. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable
without the Client’s prior consent.
Financial Planning Services
Erickson Financial may be partially compensated for its services at the start of a planning engagement. Either party
may terminate the financial planning agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party.
The Client may also terminate the financial planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing the
Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide
advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon
termination, the Client shall be billed for actual hours logged on the planning project times the contractual hourly
rate or in the case of a fixed fee engagement, the percentage of the engagement scope completed by the Advisor.
The Advisor will promptly refund any unearned, prepaid fees. The Client’s financial planning agreement with the
Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Erickson Financial is compensated for its services at the end of the month after retirement plan advisory services
are rendered. Either party may terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by providing
advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement
within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period,
the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will
be due and payable by the Client. The Client’s retirement plan advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-
transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Erickson Financial does not buy or sell securities and does not receive any compensation for securities
transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Certain Advisory Persons are also licensed as independent insurance professionals. These persons will earn
commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance products they sell to Clients.
Insurance commissions earned by these persons are separate and in addition to advisory fees. This practice
presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice on behalf of the Advisor who are
insurance agents have an incentive to recommend insurance products to Clients for the purpose of generating
commissions rather than solely based on Client needs. However, Clients are under no obligation, contractually or
otherwise, to purchase insurance products through any person affiliated with the Advisor. Please see Item 10 –
Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations.

Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Erickson Financial does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees
charged by Erickson Financial are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation
of the funds or securities held by any Client.
Erickson Financial does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a
mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to
its Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Erickson Financial offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
businesses and retirement plans. Erickson Financial does not require a minimum size to establish an advisory
relationship.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Erickson Financial primarily employs fundamental analysis in developing investment strategies for its Clients.
Research and analysis from Erickson Financial are derived from numerous sources, including financial media
companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities, including annual
reports, prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. These criteria
are generally ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being
analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment
with a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps 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 the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The
Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate.
More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
As noted above, Erickson Financial generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as
consistent with their financial goals. Erickson Financial will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more
than a year, but may hold for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs
of Clients. At times, Erickson Financial may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature,
depending on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Erickson Financial 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. The Advisor monitors these economic
indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s
review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
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[s]. 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 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. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment approach:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading
risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a large
bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and
may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF
purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a
short time later.
Leveraged ETF Risks
Leveraged ETFs seek to deliver multiples of the performance of the index or benchmark they track. These ETFs
attempt to deliver some multiple of an index's daily returns (positive or negative). Please consider the
implications to both the upside and the downside of multipliers. While it may seem that a 2x multiplier is a benefit
in an up-market cycle' it is important to remember that the same multiplier applies when the ETF moves against
the market. This could potentially result in significant losses, and highlights the additional risk associated with
Leveraged ETFs.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of
the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a
mutual fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the
same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. 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.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving Erickson Financial or its management
person[s]. Erickson Financial values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to
perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds
of the Advisor and its Advisory Persons are on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at
www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 299818.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Insurance Agency Affiliations
Certain Advisory Persons are also licensed insurance professionals. Implementations of insurance
recommendations are separate and apart from one’s role with Erickson Financial. As an insurance professional,

Page 10
Advisory Persons will receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the various insurance
companies whose products are sold. Advisory Persons are not required to offer the products of any particular
insurance company. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset regular advisory fees. This
practice presents a conflict of interest in recommending certain products of the insurance companies. Clients are
under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to implement any recommendations made by the Advisory
Persons or the Advisor.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Erickson Financial has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary
commitment to each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with Erickson Financial (“Supervised
Persons”). The Code was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the
Advisor’s duties to the Client. Erickson Financial and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and
good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of Erickson Financial’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 the Code, please
contact the Advisor at (484) 209-5270.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Erickson Financial allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended
to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Erickson Financial does not act as principal in any transactions. In
addition, the Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. Erickson
Financial does not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Erickson Financial allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended
to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to
Clients presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through
policies and procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material
non-public information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities
reporting. When trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the
same securities. The fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are
made with more advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information.
This risk is mitigated by requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review by
the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. The Advisor has also adopted written policies and procedures
to detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While Erickson Financial allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be
recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or
traded afterward. At no time will Erickson Financial, or any Supervised Person of Erickson Financial,
transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Erickson Financial does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and
execution services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard
Client assets and authorize Erickson Financial to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed in the investment
advisory agreement. Further, Erickson Financial does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate
commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.

https://www.ericksonfinancialgroup.com
Page 11
Where Erickson Financial does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend
the Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended
Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a custodian not
recommended by Erickson Financial. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the
recommended Custodian is not engaged. Erickson Financial may recommend the Custodian based on criteria
such as, but not limited to, the reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to
the Client, its reputation, and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices.
Erickson Financial will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
(“Schwab”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Schwab will serve as the Client’s “qualified
custodian”. Erickson Financial maintains an institutional relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives
economic benefits from Schwab (Please see Item 14 below.)
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor
enters into an agreement to place security trades with the broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and
other services. Erickson Financial does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by
any broker-dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from Schwab.
Please see Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - Erickson Financial does not receive any compensation from any third party in
connection with the recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where Erickson Financial will
place trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client
accounts are traded within their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions
(i.e., trade of any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts
(i.e., purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). In selecting the Custodian,
Erickson Financial will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have
an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian.
B. 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 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of
execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. Erickson Financial will execute its transactions
through the Custodian as authorized by the Client.
Erickson Financial may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold
through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading day. If a block trade cannot be
executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business
day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This
must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any particular Clients’ accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Advisory Persons of Erickson
Financial. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more or less frequently depending on the
needs of the Client.

Phone: (484) 209-5270 | Fax (484) 450-8712
https://www.ericksonfinancialgroup.com
Page 12
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. Reviews may be conducted more or less frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may 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[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify Erickson Financial 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.
C. Review Reports
The Client 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 may also establish electronic access to
the Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may
also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by Erickson Financial
Erickson Financial may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g. attorneys, accountants,
estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients. Likewise, Erickson
Financial may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
Erickson Financial has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor
Services” unit, a division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like Erickson Financial. As a
registered investment advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, Erickson Financial receives
access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management
services to Clients that maintain assets at Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the
Advisor and many, but not all services provided by Schwab will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients,
the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that
the receipt of economic benefits from a custodian creates a potential conflict of interest since these benefits may
influence the Advisor's recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software,
systems support, or services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of
investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through
Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be
able to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds
and other investments without having to adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the Client were
to directly access the investments.
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to
technology, research, discounts and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for
Client accounts, the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back office support services as part of its
relationship with Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for
its Clients, but may not directly benefit all Clients.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services to Erickson Financial that may
not benefit the Client, including educational conferences and events, consulting services, and discounts for
various service providers. Access to these services creates a financial incentive for the Advisor to recommend
Schwab, which results in a potential conflict of interest. Erickson Financial believes, however, that the selection
of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.

B. Compensation for Client Referrals
The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for
Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
Erickson Financial does not accept or maintain custody of Client accounts, except for the limited circumstances
outlined below:
Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction
of advisory fees, all Clients for whom Erickson Financial exercises discretionary authority must hold their assets
with a "qualified custodian." Clients are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to safeguard their funds
and securities and must instruct Erickson Financial to utilize that Custodian for securities transactions on their
behalf. Clients are encouraged to review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any reports
provided by Erickson Financial to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review.
Money Movement Authorization - For instances where Clients authorize Erickson Financial to move funds
between their accounts, Erickson Financial and the Custodian have implemented safeguards to ensure that all
money movement activities are conducted strictly in accordance with the Client’s documented instructions.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Erickson Financial generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in
Client accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales
may be subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and
agreed to by Erickson Financial. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client.
The granting of such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory agreement
containing all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Erickson Financial will be
in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Erickson Financial does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy
statements directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies,
however, the Client retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Erickson Financial nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably
impair the ability of Erickson Financial to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Erickson Financial, nor any of
its Advisory Persons, has been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Erickson Financial is not
required to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance
fees of $1,200 or more for services to be performed six months or more in the future.
