Item 4 Services, Fees, and Compensation
Global Retirement Partners, LLC (“GRP” or “The Firm”) is an investment advisor registered with the Securities &
Exchange Commission (“SEC.”) GRP is wholly owned entity of HUB International, Inc. The GRP Senior
Management Team consists of Scott Hauptmann, President, Melissa Rodriguez-Kirk: Chief Operating Officer and
Cosmo Gould, Chief Compliance Officer.
The Firm offers a variety of services to meet the needs of its clients. Compensation also takes a variety of forms as
described as follows:
Asset Management Services
GRP will structure account portfolios to meet specific client objectives and needs and, on an ongoing basis, will
provide asset allocation and buy and sell recommendations.
Investment Advisory Representatives provide asset management services through a variety of custodial
broker-dealers, including, but not limited to LPL Financial, Charles Schwab, and Fidelity. Investment Advisory
Representatives may maintain a limited power of attorney in these managed accounts. The limited power of
attorney authorizes the Investment Advisory Representatives to execute transactions in client accounts without
contacting the client immediately preceding the trade. All transactions are made in accordance with the client’s
stated investment objectives and have been previously discussed and agreed upon by the client and the Investment
Advisory Representative.
Fees for this service will be charged on a percentage of assets under management basis not to exceed a 3% per
annum. The fees will be discussed and agreed upon in advance by the Investment Advisory Representative and the
client. Fees will be charged in advance or in arrears and will be billed on a monthly or quarterly basis.
Either GRP, or the client, can terminate the Asset Management Agreement by written notice to the other party
without penalty within five business days of its signing and any prepaid fees will be returned. The asset management
agreement may be terminated by either party at any time thereafter on thirty days written notice to the other party.
In certain instances, the client may receive a pro-rated refund, based on the fee calculation method being used and
the amount of work already completed.
Third Party Asset Managers
Investment Advisory Representatives may recommend the use of other independent investment advisors or asset
management program sponsors that provide specialized investment advisory services. These advisors will charge
advisory fees, independent of GRP. A portion of the advisory fee will be paid to GRP.
Each advisory client will receive documentation including a third-party asset management agreement and disclosure
of compensation and will receive Part IIA of form ADV from GRP and the third-party asset manager. Accounts
managed by third party asset managers will be subject to the cancellation policy of the particular third-party asset
manager.
GRP may enter into a sub-advisory agreement relationship with other advisory firms in which GRP will be acting as
dual advisor or as a solicitor. Fees will be received by GRP from the sub-advisor. The Client will be informed that
the advisory fee will be split between GRP and the designated sub-advisor. The fee disclosure “Disclosure of
Compensation” will be detailed in the GRP Asset Management Agreement and in information received from the
other advisory firm.

Wrap Fee Programs
GRP has established wrap fee programs in order to provide clients with an “all- in-one pricing model. Clients
participating in wrap programs will be charged one all-inclusive fee that includes trade execution, custody, and asset
management fees. Wrap assets are held at third party custodians, including LPL Financial, Charles Schwab, and
Fidelity. Generally, there are no differences between how GRP manages wrap fee accounts and how GRP manages
other accounts. GRP receives a portion of the wrap fee from the sponsor for its services.
At no time will Global Retirement Partners, LLC accept or maintain custody of a client’s funds or securities except
for authorized fee deduction. GRP intends to cover fees associated with execution, clearance and other costs
related to trading, including paying custodial and securities execution and clearance fees out of its Management Fee
(except for short-term trading, redemption fees or executing transactions away from the designated custodians, that
will be paid by clients). Certain miscellaneous fees are charged to the client account by the custodian, such as wire
fees and overnight check fees, margin interest, odd-lot differentials, early termination fees, short-term redemption
fees, etc. However, GRP may reimburse clients for these miscellaneous fees either by direct reimbursement or
through adjustment of the Management Fee. This method of treating transaction fees is typically characterized as a
“wrap fee,” where the Management Fee includes the investment advisory services as well as all transaction costs and
the client pays only that Management Fee and no other costs concerning the trading and maintaining of the account.
Clients in wrap fee accounts, with the transaction and custody costs included, will pay a higher Management Fee
than those clients of Global Retirement Partners, LLC that are not managed with a wrap fee (see GRP Form ADV
Part 2A Brochure). The specific arrangement for each client will be negotiated and defined in the investment
advisory contract signed by each client. GRP generally does not use outside investment managers to provide
services to its wrap fee clients. The inclusive fee may cost the client more or less than purchasing such services
separately depending on the number of transactions that occur in the account. As noted above, GRP pays for all of
the transaction charges for transactions in a client wrap fee account. The transaction charges paid by GRP vary
based on the type of transactions (e.g., mutual fund, equity, or fixed income security), and for mutual funds based on
whether or not the funds participate in the custodian’s no-transaction-fee program. A conflict of interest exists
because GRP pays the transaction charges for the client account. Clients should understand that the cost of
transaction charges to GRP may be a factor that the GRP considers when deciding which securities to select and
how frequently to place transactions in a client account.
All fees paid to GRP for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the expenses charged by mutual
funds and ETFs to their shareholders and the product sponsor in the case of variable insurance products. Clients
should be aware that there will be two layers of advisory fees and expenses for those assets. Clients will pay an
advisory fee to the fund manager and other expenses as a shareholder of the fund. In the case of mutual funds that
are fund of funds, there could be an additional layer of fees, including performance fees that may vary depending on
the performance of the fund. These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s, ETFs, or variable product’s
prospectus. Client will also pay GRP the Management Fee with respect to those assets.
A client could invest in these products directly, without the services of GRP therefore, clients could generally avoid
the second layer of fees by not using the advisory services of Global Retirement Partners, LLC and by making their
own decisions regarding the investment. In that case, the client would not receive the services provided by GRP
which are designed, among other things, to assist the client in determining which products or services are most
appropriate to each client’s financial condition and objectives. Accordingly, the client should review both the fees
charged by the product sponsor and the fees charged by GRP to fully understand the total fees to be paid.

Investment advisor representatives are not compensated differently for clients that choose the inclusive fee
arrangement versus the non-inclusive fee and therefore they do not have a financial incentive to recommend one
method over the other.
Item 5 Account Requirements and Types of Clients
GRP provides investment advisory services to individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates,
corporations, and other business entities.
Certain third-party asset managers and Investment Advisory Representatives may require a minimum investment in
order to open a managed account. The specific amounts are detailed in the third-party asset managers’ agreements
or in the GRP Asset Management Agreement, as negotiated by the Client and Investment Advisory Representative.
Accounts below the stated minimums may be accepted on an individual basis at the discretion of GRP and the
platform sponsor.
Item 6 Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation
Global Retirement Partners, LLC offers the wrap fee alternative to clients as a pricing option and does not utilize
unaffiliated money managers to serve the needs of wrap fee clients.
Generally, the Investment Advisory Representative will be the individual who introduces the client to the firm. Each
Investment Advisory Representative is responsible for managing the investment accounts of their clients. The
Investment Advisory Representative will monitor the client account on an ongoing basis to ensure that the client
needs, goals and objectives are being met.
GRP may utilize fundamental or technical analysis techniques in formulating investment advice or managing assets for
clients.
Fundamental analysis of businesses involves analyzing its financial statements and health, its management and
competitive advantages and its competitors and markets. Fundamental analysis is performed on historical and
present data but with the goal of making financial forecasts. There are several possible objectives; to conduct a
company stock valuation and predict its probable price evolution; to make a projection on its business performance;
to evaluate its management and make internal business decisions and to calculate its credit risk.
Technical analysis is a method of evaluating securities by relying on the assumption that market data, such as charts
of price, volume and open interest can help predict future (usually short-term) market trends. Technical analysis
assumes that market psychology influences trading in a way that enables predicting when a stock will rise or fall.
Clients need to be aware that investing in securities involves risk of loss that the client needs to be prepared to
bear. Global Retirement Partners, LLC will tailor its advisory services to its client’s individual needs based on
meetings and completion of a client profile. If clients wish to impose certain restrictions on investing in certain
securities or types of securities, GRP will address those restrictions with the client to have a clear understanding of
the client’s requirements. GRP does not charge performance-based fees.
GRP will not vote, or advise clients how to vote, proxies for securities held in client accounts. The client clearly
keeps the authority and responsibility for the voting of these proxies. Also, GRP cannot give any advice or take any
action with respect to the voting of these proxies.

Item 7 Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers
In accordance with GRP’s Privacy Policy, GRP does not communicate any non-public financial information to
unaffiliated entities.
Item 8 Client Contact with Portfolio Managers
GRP does not place any restriction on the client’s ability to contact and consult with their Investment Advisory
Representatives and encourages clients to communicate with their Investment Advisory Representatives whenever
their circumstances change that may cause a change to their investor profile.
Item 9 Additional Information
Neither GRP nor any of its management persons are registered, or have an application pending to register, as a
futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or a commodity trading advisor. GRP does not currently
have any relationships or arrangements that are material to its advisory business or clients with either a
broker-dealer, municipal securities dealer, or government securities dealer or broker, investment company or other
pooled investment vehicle (including a mutual fund, closed-end investment company, unit investment trust, private
investment company or “hedge fund” or offshore fund), futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator,
or commodity trading advisor, banking or thrift institution, accountant or accounting firm, lawyer or law firm,
insurance company or agency, pension consultant, real estate broker or dealer or sponsor of syndicator of limited
partnerships.
GRP does not select other investment advisors for wrap fee clients. GRP participates in the institutional programs of
multiple custodians that are unaffiliated SEC registered broker-dealers. These custodians offer independent
investment advisors services which include custody of securities, trade execution, clearance, and settlement of
transactions. GRP receives some benefits from the custodian through its participation in the programs.
GRP participates in institutional programs of its custodians, and GRP may recommend these custodians to Clients
for custody and brokerage services. There is no direct link between GRP’s participation in the programs and the
investment advice it gives to its Clients, although GRP receives economic benefits through its participation in the
programs that are typically not available to the custodians’ retail investors. These benefits include the products and
services (provided without cost or at a discount): receipt of duplicate Client statements and confirmations; research
related products and tools; consulting services; access to a trading desk serving GRP participants; access to block
trading (which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions for execution and then allocate the
appropriate shares to Client accounts); the ability to have advisory fees deducted directly from Client accounts;
access to an electronic communications network for Client order entry and account information; access to mutual
funds with no transaction fees and to certain institutional money managers; and discounts on compliance, marketing,
research, technology, and practice management products or services provided to GRP by third party vendors. The
custodians may also have paid for business consulting and professional services received by GRP’s related persons.
Some of the products and services made available by the custodians through the programs may benefit GRP but may
not benefit its Client accounts. These products or services may assist GRP in managing and administering Client
accounts, including accounts not maintained at these custodians. Other services made available by the custodians are
intended to help GRP manage and further develop its business enterprise. The benefits received by GRP or its
personnel through participation in the programs do not depend on the amount of brokerage transactions directed
to the custodians. As part of its fiduciary duties to clients, GRP endeavors at all times to put the interests of its
clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits by GRP or its related persons

in and of itself creates a potential conflict of interest and may indirectly influence GRP’s choice of the custodians for
custody and brokerage services.
Item 10 Requirements for State-Registered Advisors
Neither the GRP nor any of its Investment Advisor Representatives have any relationship or arrangement with any
issuer of securities that is not otherwise disclosed in this wrap brochure.
