CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™
The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP® and federally registered CFP (with flame design) marks
(collectively, the “CFP® marks”) are professional certification marks granted in the United States by Certified
Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP Board”).
The CFP® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or regulation requires financial
planners to hold CFP® certification. It is recognized in the United States and a number of other countries for its
(1) high standard of professional education; (2) stringent code of conduct and standards of practice; and (3)
ethical requirements that govern professional engagements with clients. Currently, more than 62,000
individuals have obtained CFP® certification in the United States.
To attain the right to use the CFP® marks, an individual must satisfactorily fulfill the following requirements:
• Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study addressing the financial planning
subject areas that CFP Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the competent and
professional delivery of financial planning services, and attain a Bachelor’s Degree from a regionally
accredited United States college or university (or its equivalent from a foreign university). CFP
Board’s financial planning subject areas include insurance planning and risk management, employee
benefits planning, investment planning, income tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning;
• Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination,
administered in 10 hours over a two-day period, includes case studies and client scenarios designed to
test one’s ability to correctly diagnose financial planning issues and apply one’s knowledge of financial
planning to real world circumstances;
• Experience – Complete at least three years of full-time financial planning-related experience (or the
equivalent, measured as 2,000 hours per year); and
• Ethics – Agree to be bound by CFP Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct, a set of documents
outlining the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements in
order to maintain the right to continue to use the CFP® marks:

two hours on the Code of Ethics and other parts of the Standards of Professional Conduct, to maintain
competence and keep up with developments in the financial planning field; and
• Ethics – Renew an agreement to be bound by the Standards of Professional Conduct. The Standards
prominently require that CFP® professionals provide financial planning services at a fiduciary standard
of care. This means CFP® professionals must provide financial planning services in the best interests
of their clients.
CFP® professionals who fail to comply with the above standards and requirements may be subject to CFP
Board’s enforcement process, which could result in suspension or permanent revocation of their CFP®
certification.
Disciplinary Information
Form ADV Part 2B, Item 3
There are no legal or disciplinary events material to a client’s or prospective client’s evaluation of Michael T.
Carey.
Other Business Activities
Form ADV Part 2B, Item 4
Michael T. Carey is a registered representative of RJFS.
The registered representatives of RJFS may recommend RJFS to advisory clients for brokerage services.
Registered representatives of RJFS are subject to FINRA rules that restrict them from conducting securities
transactions away from RJFS. This creates a possible conflict of interests. Clients may utilize the broker
dealer of their choice and have no obligation to purchase or sell securities through RJFS. It may be the case
that RJFS charges a higher or a lower fee that another broker charges for a particular type of service such as
transaction fees. If the client does not use RJFS, Michael T. Carey reserves the right to not accept the
account.
As a registered FINRA broker dealer, RJFS routes order flow through its affiliated broker dealer Raymond
James & Associates, Inc. (RJA). RJA is obligated to seek best execution for all trades executed, but better
executions may be available via another broker dealer based on a number of factors including volume, order
flow and market timing activity.
Michael T. Carey is also a licensed insurance agent with several insurance companies and conducts his
insurance and annuity business through Raymond James Insurance Group (RJIG). If a client chooses to use
Michael T. Carey in his individual capacity as an insurance agent, he will receive a commission. In certain
circumstances this practice gives him an incentive to recommend investment products based on the
compensation received, rather than on the client’s needs.

Additional Compensation
Form ADV Part 2B, Item 5
Michael T. Carey may receive compensation in the form of sponsorship fees for seminars, meetings or
conferences from RJFS and from product sponsors such as limited partnerships, mutual fund companies,
insurance companies and annuity sponsors. In the case of product sponsors, such fees generally entitle the
sponsor to an allotted presentation to him. While this creates a potential conflict of interest, the providers of
such benefits are given to understand that this creates no obligation on his part.
Supervision
Form ADV Part 2B, Item 6
David Kahn supervises Michael T. Carey through regular review of plans prepared for clients and potential
clients and reviews his clients’ investments at least on a yearly basis. Discussions occur regularly as to which
specific investments have a high likelihood of being of benefit to clients and only investments approved by
David Kahn are used. David Kahn also ensures that the training required by RJFS, FINRA, the Florida
Department of Insurance and the CFP Board are completed in a timely fashion as well as any other educational
program that would assist him in competently assisting his clients. David Kahn is the President of Kahn
Financial Group and can be reached at 727-797-5551.

Form ADV Part 2A, Item 4
Kahn Financial Group (KFG) offers a range of investment advisory services. These services are based on an
initial gathering of client information in order to understand the client’s current circumstances and future goals.
KFG has been in business since 1999 and is owned by David Kahn.
We offer comprehensive financial planning with a focus on retirement and estate planning. We provide
portfolio management for individuals and/or small businesses. We request of the client the appropriate
financial information, such as current income, assets and liabilities, tax information, etc. We then provide a
concise written financial plan that analyzes whether or not the client is on target to reach his/her retirement
goals, based on agreed upon assumptions regarding rates of return, inflation, etc.
We believe in customizing our advisory services based on the goals of each client, as well as the time frame in
which we are operating and the risk tolerance of each individual. While we attempt to achieve an acceptable
rate of return for each client, our strategies put a priority on staying within the risk tolerance of each client. We
primarily limit our advice to mutual funds.
The Ambassador Program is an all-inclusive wrap fee investment advisory account offered by Kahn Financial
Group (KFG) and administered by Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (RJA), in which the client is provided
with ongoing investment advice and monitoring of securities holdings. This type of account offers clients the
ability to pay an asset-based advisory wrap fee in lieu of a transaction fee for each investment transaction
within the account. There are no separate transaction fees in Ambassador Program accounts for any type of
security. Kahn Financial Group receives the majority of the advisory fee. RJA, as the sponsor of the program,
receives a portion of the fee. Charges for other account services provided by Raymond James, not directly
related to the advisory, execution, and clearing services provided as part of the wrap fee program may be
incurred. Some of these additional expenses could include but are not limited to, safekeeping fees, interest
charges on margin loans, and fees for legal or courtesy transfers of securities. The Ambassador Program is
offered as both a Discretionary and Non-Discretionary Program. However, KFG chooses to exclusively use the
non-discretionary program. For Ambassador Non-Discretionary Program accounts, the IAR will make
recommendations to the client, according to their investment objectives, but the client is responsible for all
trading decisions. This type of account can be utilized to buy, sell, or otherwise trade stocks, bonds, mutual
funds (at net asset value), exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), options, preferred stocks and structured notes and
CDs. The client is provided with quarterly portfolio summaries and performance analyses. The overall cost
you will incur if you participate in the Ambassador wrap fee program may be higher or lower than you might
incur by separately purchasing the types of securities available in the program. You authorize and direct RJA
as custodian to deduct asset-based fees from your account and further authorize and direct the custodian to
send a quarterly statement to you which shows all amounts disbursed from your account, including fees paid
to Kahn Financial Group. Your Ambassador agreement may be terminated by you or us at any time upon
providing notice pursuant to the provisions of the agreement. In the event of termination of your agreement,
we will refund to you the prorated portion of the fee for the quarter of termination. There is no penalty for
terminating your agreement.
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 4
KFG chooses not to manage any assets on a discretionary basis. As of December 2025, assets totaling
$122,622,407.00 were being managed on a non-discretionary basis.
Advisory Business
Fees and Compensation
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 5
The fees KFG will charge for financial planning services are dependent on the anticipated time and complexity
of the plan. The fees will be determined in advance and will be disclosed to the client before executing the
Investment Advisory Agreement. Fees will rarely depart from the established fee schedule but may do so in
exceptional circumstances. It is possible a client will pay more or less for similar services than another client. If
a client retains KFG on an hourly basis for plan development or consultation, the rate will range between $100
to $200 per hour (a lesser hourly fee may be charged for administrative and staff functions). If the client retains
KFG to create a financial plan on a fixed fee basis, that fee will range between $500 and $4,000, depending on
the complexity and comprehensiveness on the plan.
If the cash balance exceeds 20% of the Account Value as of the last business day of the quarter (“the valuation
date”) for three (3) consecutive quarterly valuation dates, the amount in excess of 20% is excluded from billing.
For those investors who meet the legally mandated net worth requirements to purchase it, private placement
life insurance and/or variable annuity policies may be employed, if deemed of benefit to the investor based on
the financial planning process. The fee schedule, based on the amount of dollars that are to be placed in such
policies are as follows:
1.5% for the first $10,000,000
1.0% for the next $15,000,000
½% for the next $25,000,000
¼% for any additional dollars
The minimum contribution to such a policy is $1,000,000. Compensation is due in part upon the signing of a
separate planning agreement specific to PPLI and/or PPVA and part at the acceptance of the financial plan.
The time of payment and the fee itself are negotiable.
The annual asset-based fee is paid quarterly in arrears or in advance at the choice of the client. For accounts
billed in arrears, the asset-based fee is calculated on the account asset value on the last business day of the
quarter for the previous quarter. KFG has the option to bill any management fees on a pro-rata basis for
deposits made during a quarter. For accounts billed in advance, the asset-based fee is billed when the account
is opened for the remainder of the current billing period based on the initial contribution. Thereafter, the
quarterly asset-based fee is paid in advance based on the account asset value on the last business day of the
previous quarter and is due the following business day. The client authorizes and directs Raymond James &
Associates (RJA) member NYSE/SIPC as Custodian, to deduct asset-based fees from the client’s account. If
the client prefers, he may choose to be billed each quarter for the fees due. If paid in a timely fashion, the fees
will not be deducted from the client’s account.
Clients may incur a nominal charge per transaction for handling and postage. The client may also incur
charges for other account services provided by Raymond James Financial Services , member FINRA/SIPC
through RJA not deduction related to the execution and clearing of transactions including, but not limited to,
IRA custodial fees, safekeeping fees, interest charges on margin loans and fees for legal or courtesy transfers
of securities. KFG does not share in any of these additional charges paid to Raymond James Financial
Services .
Clients should be aware that all mutual funds and insurance products available under the Ambassador program
have their own separate management fees and operating expenses, which are disclosed in their respective
prospectuses.
KFG works primarily with individuals and high net worth individuals as well as pension and profit sharing
plans.
If fees have been paid in advance and the Investment Management agreement is terminated by providing
written notice, the client will receive a refund of the portion of the prepaid asset-based fee which has not been
utilized. If a client terminates the agreement within the first five (5) business days of entering into the
agreement, all prepaid fees will refunded. The written notice of termination should be sent to:

While in most cases the investment advisor representative (IAR) invests the majority of client assets in mutual
funds on a fee basis as described above, there are occasions when it is deemed appropriate to use other
products that may pay a commission. The different types and amounts of compensation create a conflict of
interest.
.
When making cost comparisons, clients should be aware that the combination of multiple mutual fund
investments, advisory services, custodial and brokerage services available through each program may not be
available separately or may require multiple accounts, documentation and fees. If an account is actively traded
or the client otherwise may not qualify for reduced sale charges for fund purchases, the fees may be less
expensive than separately paying the sales charges and fees. If an account is not actively traded or the client
otherwise would qualify for reduced sales charges, the fees in these programs may be more expensive than if
utilized separately.
IARs do not receive a financial incentive to recommend and sell proprietary mutual funds versus non-
proprietary funds. However, because compensation structures vary by product type, IARs may receive higher
compensation for certain product types.
KFG believes the charges and fees offered within the fee-based program are competitive with alternative
programs available through other firms and/or investment sources yet makes no guarantee that the aggregate
cost of a particular program is lower than that which may be available elsewhere.
Clients are free to execute any investment recommendations received from KFG at the broker of their choice
and are not required to do so through KFG’s broker RJFS.
Far less than 50% of the revenue of KFG is derived from commissions.
In certain instances, with certain products a commission is paid initially and for the first year after that the
normally applicable fee is waived.
Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 6
KFG does not accept performance-based fees.
©2010 National Compliance Services 800-800-3204
Types of Clients
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 7
KFG works primarily with individuals, as well as with high net worth individuals. There is a $25,000 minimum
account value which can be waived by the firm.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 8
KFG believes that there is no investment without risk. Even a FDIC insured CD may have the risk of the loss of
purchasing power over time. Mutual funds, stocks, bonds, alternative investments, etc., can all potentially lose
some or all of the client’s investment. As each client has a different tolerance for these risks, the first step in
formulating investment advice or in managing assets is determining their specific risk tolerance as well as the
time frame for the investment and the goal or goals for the investment. We use a basic risk tolerance
questionnaire and follow that up with discussing the above points. We then align the various investments to the
result of that analysis.
Mutual Funds: Investing in mutual funds carries the risk of capital loss and thus you may lose money investing
in mutual funds. All mutual funds have costs that lower investment returns. The funds can be of bond (fixed
income) nature or stock (equity) nature, or a mix of multiple underlying security types.
We believe that mutual funds generally provide an appropriate balance between risk and reward. We analyze
each fund we recommend to clients using the data available through subscribing to Morningstar and also using
the proprietary mutual fund research of RJFS, as well as by attending various conferences and meeting with
fund representatives. We attempt to locate funds with managers that over a period of years often out-perform
their peers and their respective indexes. We also believe that a portfolio that is broadly diversified may lower
the overall level of risk. To that end, in addition to a core holding of mutual funds, we believe that using
alternative investments, for those clients meeting the minimum net worth requirements, will add to the
diversification of an investment portfolio.
As it is very true that past performance is no guarantee whatsoever of future results, a mutual fund can lose a
significant percentage of the funds being managed even if it has not happened in the past. Some alternative
investments have varying levels of risk, some quite high with others moderate.
We do not engage in frequent trading. We are looking to achieve long term results while primarily avoiding
speculative investments.
As mentioned above, we believe that while there is still significant risk in using mutual funds as the core
holding, especially over a short period of time, the level of risk is moderated through diversification within each
fund and through the use of several different funds with different investment objectives. Investing in securities
involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear.

Disciplinary Information
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 9
There are not currently nor have there been in the past any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to
a client’s or prospective client’s evaluation of the KFG advisory business or the integrity of our management.
©2010 National Compliance Services 800-800-3204
Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 10
The Investment Adviser Representatives of KFG are registered representatives of RJFS.
Registered representatives of RJFS are subject to FINRA rules that restrict them from conducting securities
transactions away from RJFS. This creates a conflict of interests. It may be the case that RJFS charges a
higher or a lower fee that another broker charges for a particular type of service such as transaction fees. If
the client does not use RJFS, KFG reserves the right to not accept the account.
As a registered FINRA broker dealer, RJFS routes order flow through its affiliated broker dealer Raymond
James & Associates, Inc. (RJA). RJA is obligated to seek best execution for all trades executed, but better
executions may be available via another broker dealer based on a number of factors including volume, order
flow and market timing activity.
The IARs of KFG are also licensed insurance agents with several insurance companies and conduct their
insurance and annuity business through Raymond James Insurance Group (RJIG). If a client chooses to use
an IAR in his individual capacity as an insurance agent, the individual IAR will receive a commission.
KFG does not recommend or select other investment advisers from which we receive compensation
either directly or indirectly.
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 11
KFG has a Code of Ethics, which amongst other points, monitors the personal securities transactions of its
employees, officers, directors and IARs. It sets forth standards of conduct and addresses potential conflicts of
interest among Kahn Financial Group, its personnel and its advisory clients. Any client may request a copy of
the KFG Code of Ethics. This may be done either by phone at 727-797-5551 or by mail at 1700 McMullen
Booth RD. Suite A-5 Clearwater, FL 33759.
KFG does not have any material interest in any of the securities recommended to clients.
The IARs of KFG may invest in the same securities or related securities that they recommend to clients and
may recommend securities at the same time that they are buying or selling the same securities. This could
create a conflict of interest; however, that is handled by giving priority to client accounts. In the case of mutual
funds, the most common security being used for the clients of KFG, all trade prices are determined at the end
of the day. Thus, this would not create a conflict of interest.
©2010 National Compliance Services 800-800-3204
Brokerage Practices
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 12
KFG receives proprietary RJFS research and third-party research from RJFS. This research is received as a
benefit to KFG at no additional cost to KFG.
KFG does not have an incentive to recommend RJFS for the purpose of receiving this research.
Clients do not pay higher commissions for the purpose of KFG receiving this research.
KFG does not consider the receipt of client referrals in recommending RJFS.
The IARs of KFG are registered representatives of RJFS, a registered broker-dealer with FINRA, and may
recommend RJFS to advisory clients for brokerage services. Registered representatives of RJFS are subject
to FINRA Rule 3280 that restricts them from conducting securities transactions away from RJFS. Therefore,
clients are advised that such IARs are limited to conducting securities transactions through RJFS. It may be the
case that RJFS charges a higher or lower fee than another broker charges for a particular type of service, such
as transaction fees.
As a registered FINRA broker dealer, RJFS routes order flow through its affiliated broker dealer Raymond
James & Associates, Inc. (RJA). RJA is obligated to seek best execution pursuant to FINRA Rule 5310 for all
trades executed, however, better executions may be available via another broker dealer based on a number of
factors including volume, order flow and market making activity.
KFG does not aggregate trades as we do not manage clients’ accounts on a discretionary basis. Each
individual is contacted prior to any trade being executed.
Review of Accounts
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 13
Client accounts are reviewed at least annually to determine if the current investments are performing in an
acceptable way, taking into account market conditions at that time. David Kahn, as the principal of KFG, will
perform the annual reviews of his personal clients as well as oversee those of any other IAR at KFG.
Reviews will also be carried out if we become aware of any significant changes in any clients’ situation or if the
economic or investment environment changes significantly in any manner that could necessitate a more timely
review.
A monthly statement of all client accounts, including asset allocation, performance information and account
gains, losses and balances will be sent out by Raymond James & Associates, Inc (RJA).
©2010 National Compliance Services 800-800-3204
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 14
KFG may receive compensation in the form of sponsorship fees for seminars, meetings or conferences from
RJFS and from product sponsors such as limited partnerships, mutual fund companies, insurance companies
and annuity sponsors. In the case of product sponsors, such fees generally entitle the sponsor to an allotted
presentation to the IARs of KFG. While this creates a potential conflict of interest, the providers of such
benefits are given to understand that this creates no obligation on the part of KFG.
KFG does not compensate anyone for client referrals.
Custody
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 15
KFG does not have custody of client funds. It does instruct Raymond James & Associates, Inc (RJA) as to the
current fees to be debited from client accounts. KFG follows the safeguarding rules of appropriate
jurisdictions.
Investment Discretion
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 16
KFG does not accept discretionary authority to manage securities on behalf of clients. You are urged to carefully
review and compare your account statements that you have received directly from your service provider with any
reports you receive from our firm or online services.
Voting Client Securities
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 17
KFG does not have nor will accept authority to vote client securities.
