Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
The Luts & Greenleigh Group, Inc. d/b/a LGG Financial (“LGG Financial” or the “Advisor”) is a registered
investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a
Corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. LGG Financial was founded in September 2012 and
launched as a registered investment advisor in October 2019. LGG Financial is owned and operated by Brian
Luts (Partner) and David Greenleigh (Partner and Chief Compliance Officer). This Disclosure Brochure provides
information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by LGG
Financial.
B. Advisory Services Offered
LGG Financial offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts and estates
(each referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor 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. LGG Financials’ fiduciary commitment is further described in 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.
Wealth Management Services
LGG Financial provides Clients with wealth management services, which generally includes a broad range of
comprehensive financial planning and consulting services in connection with discretionary management of
investment portfolios. These services are described below.
Investment Management Services – LGG Financial provides customized investment advisory solutions for its
Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while primarily providing
discretionary investment management and related advisory services. LGG Financial also provides non-
discretionary investment management for a single legacy client engagement. LGG Financial works closely with
each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in
order to determine a portfolio strategy. LGG Financial will then apply one of its model portfolios to achieve the
Client’s investment goals. LGG Financial may also utilize one or more Independent Managers to manage a
portion of Client assets. LGG Financial investment portfolios primarily consist of low-cost, diversified mutual
funds and individual bonds. The Advisor may also utilize individual stocks, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”),
and/or options contracts to meet the needs of the Client. 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.
LGG 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. LGG 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.
LGG Financial evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client model portfolios only after applying its
internal due diligence process. LGG Financial may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment
allocations to diversify the portfolio. LGG 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. LGG 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 the Client, generating
cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.

Page 4
At no time will LGG 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 the designated account[s] at
the Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
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
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.
Financial Planning Services – LGG Financial will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting
services to Clients. 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/or 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.
LGG 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.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations poses 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.
Use of Independent Managers – LGG Financial may recommend that a Client utilizes one or more unaffiliated
investment managers or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a portion of a
Client’s investment portfolio, based on the Client’s needs and objectives. In certain instances, the Client may be
required to authorize and enter into an investment management agreement with the Independent Manager[s] that
defines the terms in which the Independent Manager[s] will provide its services. The Advisor will perform initial
and ongoing oversight and due diligence over each Independent Manager to ensure the strategy remains aligned
with Clients’ investment objectives and overall best interests. The Advisor will also assist the Client in the
development of the initial policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. The Client will
be provided with the Independent Manager’s Form ADV Part 2A – Disclosure Brochure (of a brochure that
makes the appropriate disclosures).
Among other Independent Managers, the Firm may utilize the turn-key portfolio and practice management
software platform ("Platform") of Adhesion Wealth Advisor Solutions, Inc. ("Adhesion Wealth"). Adhesion Wealth
has developed a customized single-source managed account solution which it makes available to its clients and
the clients of third-party investment advisers such as the Firm. The Platform assists investment advisers with

highly intuitive tools to provide SMA and UMA portfolios, bringing an increased scale and flexible wealth
management solutions to assist in providing better outcomes. Adhesion Wealth will provide, as appropriate,
personalized portfolio management, ability to create low-cost, index-based portfolio solutions, trade order
management, order aggregation, and other administrative and operational services.
Schwab Bank Pledged Asset Line® – The Advisor may introduce certain Clients to a Pledged Asset Line®, a non-
purpose revolving line of credit made available through Charles Schwab Bank, secured by eligible assets held in
an account maintained at the Custodian. (“Lending Program”). In such instances, the Client’s assets in their
account[s] at the Custodian will be utilized as collateral for a non-purpose revolving line of credit. The
recommendation of a Lending Program presents a conflict of interest as the Advisor will continue to receive
investment advisory fees for managing the collateralized assets in the Client’s account[s]. Clients are not
obligated to engage the Advisor for the Lending Program. For additional information related to the risks involved
non-purpose loans and lines of credit, please see Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk
of Loss.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
LGG Financial provides retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans (each a “Plan”) and
the company (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))
• Vendor Analysis
• Plan Participant Enrollment and Education Tracking
•
•
• Performance Reporting
• Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
These services are provided by LGG 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 LGG 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 LGG Financial to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into an
agreement 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 – LGG Financial, in connection with the Client, will develop a
strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – LGG 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 – LGG 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 – LGG Financial will provide investment management and
ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
LGG Financial includes securities transaction fees, custody fees, commission fees, administrative fees, ACAT
fees, and wire fees, plus fees for certain independent managers (herein “Covered Costs”) together with its
investment advisory fees. Including these fees into a single asset-based fee is considered a “Wrap Fee
Program”. The Advisor customizes its investment management services for its Clients. The Advisor sponsors the
LGG Financial Wrap Fee Program solely as a supplemental disclosure regarding the combination of fees.

Depending on the level of trading required for the Client’s account[s] in a particular year, the Client may pay more
or less in total fees than if the Client paid its own transaction fees. Please see Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program
Brochure, which is included as a supplement to this Disclosure Brochure.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025 LGG Financial manages $563,886,399 in Client assets, all of which is managed on a
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 a written
agreement with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the
agreement. Wealth management fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of
the prior calendar quarter plus or minus the true up of any contributions or withdraws for prior quarter to the prior
quarter estimated advance fee. Wealth management fees range from 0.85% to 1.50% annually based on several
factors, including: the complexity of the services to be provided, the level of assets to be managed, the use of
independent managers, and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific
reporting requirements, portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee.
The wealth management fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the Account[s] to
the end of the first quarter. 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 the Advisor. All securities held in accounts
managed by LGG Financial will be independently valued by the Custodian. LGG Financial will conduct periodic
reviews of the Custodian’s valuations to ensure accurate billing.
Use of Independent Managers
As noted in Item 4, the Advisor may implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio utilizing one or
more Independent Managers. To eliminate any conflict of interest, the Advisor does not earn any compensation
from an Independent Manager. The Advisor will only earn its wealth management fee as described above. The
Client will pay a separate fee to the applicable Independent Manager. For clients who enter into contracts directly
with independent managers, the terms of such fee arrangements are included in the Independent Manager’s
disclosure brochure and applicable contract[s] with the Independent Manager. Independent Managers typically
do not offer any fee discounts but may have a breakpoint schedule which will reduce the fee with an increased
level of assets placed under management with an Independent Manager. The total blended fee, including the
Advisor’s fee and the Independent Manager’s fee, will not exceed 2.00% annually.
Adhesion Wealth—The Client will enter into a separate agreement with Adhesion Wealth regarding the assets
allocated to independent managers on their platform. The Client will pay a separate fee for their services based
on Adhesion Wealth’s disclosure brochure and applicable contract[s] with Adhesion Wealth. Services offered
through Adhesion Wealth are detailed in Item 4.B.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual asset-based fee of up to 1.50% and are billed
in advance, 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 the prior calendar quarter. Fees may be
negotiable depending on the size and complexity of the Plan.

B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management 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 beginning of the respective quarter. The amount due is calculated by
applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management with LGG Financial at
the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian
reflecting deduction of the wealth management 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 LGG 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.
Use of Independent Managers
For Client accounts implemented through an Independent Manager, the Client’s overall fees may include LGG
Financials’ wealth management fee (as noted above) plus investment management fees and/or platform fees
charged by the Independent Manager[s], as applicable. In certain instances, the Independent Manager or the
Advisor may assume responsibility for calculating the Client’s fees and deduct all fees from the Client’s
account[s]. Trading by independent managers on the Adhesion Wealth platform is executed through Charles
Schwab with no transaction costs as they are included in LGG’s wrap fee.
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 in connection with investments made on behalf
of the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor's recommended Custodian does not charge securities transaction fees for
ETF and equity trades in Client accounts, provided that the Client’s accounts meet the terms and conditions of
the Custodians brokerage requirements. However the Custodian typically charge for mutual funds and other
types of investments. LGG Financial includes Covered Costs as part of its overall wealth management fee
through the LGG Financial Wrap Fee Program. Securities transaction fees for Client-directed trades may be
charged back to the Client. Please see Item 4.D. above as well as Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program Brochure.
In addition, all fees paid to LGG 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 services of LGG
Financial, but would not receive the services provided by LGG 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 LGG 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
Wealth Management Services
LGG Financial may be compensated for its services in advance of the quarter in which advisory services are
rendered. Either party may terminate the wealth management agreement, at any time, by providing advance
written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the wealth management 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 Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid wealth management fees from the effective

Phone: (301) 312-6660 * Fax: (301) 560-8560
http://www.lggfinancial.com
Page 8
date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s wealth management agreement with the Advisor is non-
transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Use of Independent Managers
In the event that the Advisor has determined that an Independent Manager is no longer in the Client’s best
interest, or a Client should wish to terminate their relationship with the Independent Manager, the terms for
termination will be set forth in the respective agreements between the Client or the Advisor and the Independent
Manager. LGG Financial will assist the Client with the termination and transition as appropriate.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
LGG Financial is compensated for its services at the beginning of the quarter before advisory services are
rendered. Either party may request to terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement services with LGG
Financial LGG Financial in whole or in part, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Advisor
will refund any unearned, prepaid retirement plan advisory investment advisory fees from the effective date of
termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s retirement plan services agreement with the Advisor is non-
transferable without the Client’s written prior approval/consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
LGG Financial does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for
securities transactions in any Client account, other than the wealth management fees noted above.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
LGG Financial does not charge performance-based fees for its wealth management services. The fees charged
by LGG 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.
LGG 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
LGG Financial offers wealth management services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts and estates.
The amount of each type of Client is available on LGG Financials’ Form ADV Part 1A. These amounts may
change over time and are updated at least annually by the Advisor. LGG Financial generally does not impose a
minimum relationship size, however certain Independent Managers may impose a minimum fee.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
LGG Financial primarily employs fundamental and technical analysis methods in developing investment
strategies for its Clients. Research and analysis from LGG 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. This criteria
consists generally of 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

http://www.lggfinancial.com
Page 9
are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of
Accounts.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in determining the
recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts to identify market patterns
and trends, which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. The
primary risk in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the
future. Even if the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that LGG Financial will be able to
accurately predict such a reoccurrence.
As noted above, LGG Financial generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent
with their financial goals. LGG 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, LGG 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. LGG 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 certain components of 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.

Bond Risks
Bonds are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e. the risk that bond prices will
fall if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to maturity, and the
coupon rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e. the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower
rate than was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e. the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at
a rate that exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk,
i.e. the risk associated with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the company defaulting
on its repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e. the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of
the company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6)
Liquidity Risks, i.e. the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the
bond.
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.
Options Contracts
Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of time. Option contracts
are leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single contract to control many shares of an underlying
stock. This leverage can compound gains or losses.
Margin Borrowings
The use of short-term margin borrowings may result in certain additional risks to a Client. For example, if
securities pledged to brokers to secure a Client's margin accounts decline in value, the Client could be subject to
a "margin call", pursuant to which it must either deposit additional funds with the broker or be the subject of
mandatory liquidation of the pledged securities to compensate for the decline in value.
Short Sales
A short sale involves the sale of a security that the Client does not own in the hope of purchasing the same
security at a later date at a lower price. To make delivery to the buyer, the Client must borrow the security and is
obligated to return the security to the lender, which is accomplished by a later purchase of the security. The
Client realizes a profit or a loss as a result of a short sale if the price of the security decreases or increases
respectively between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Client covers its short position, i.e.,
purchases the security to replace the borrowed security. A short sale involves the theoretically unlimited risk of
an increase in the market price of the security that would result in a theoretically unlimited loss.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”)
Investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) involves certain distinct risks in addition to those risks
associated with investing in the real estate industry in general. For Example, equity REITs may be affected by
changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the REITs, while mortgage REITs may be affected by
the quality of credit extended. REITs are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers and self-
liquidation. REITs, especially mortgage REITs, are also subject to interest rate risk (i.e., as interest rates rise, the
value of the REIT may decline).
Non-Purpose Loans and Lines of Credit
Non-purpose loans and lines of credit carry a number of risks, including but not limited to the risk of a market
downturn, tax implications if collateralized securities are liquidated, and an increase in interest rates. A decline in
the market value of collateralized securities held in the account[s] at the Custodian, may result in a reduction in
the draw amount of the Client’s line of credit, a demand from the Lending Program that the Client deposit
additional funds or securities in the Client’s collateral account[s], or a forced sale of securities in the Client’s
collateral account[s].

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 LGG Financial or its management persons.
LGG 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 available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at
www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 305002.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
The sole business of LGG Financial and its Advisory Persons is to provide advisory services to its
Clients. Neither LGG Financial nor its Advisory Persons are involved in other business endeavors. LGG Financial
does not maintain any affiliations with other firms, other than contracted service providers to assist with the
servicing of its Client’s accounts.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
LGG 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 LGG Financial (“Supervised Persons”). The Code
was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to the
Client. LGG Financial and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each
Client. It is the obligation of LGG 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 (301) 312-
6660.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
LGG Financial allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. LGG 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. LGG Financial does not
have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
LGG 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 recommend (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 LGG Financial 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 LGG 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

Page 12
traded afterward. At no time will LGG Financial, or any Supervised Person of LGG Financial, transact in
any security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
LGG 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 LGG Financial to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the wealth
management agreement. Further, LGG Financial does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate
commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where LGG 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 LGG Financial. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the
recommended Custodian is not engaged. LGG Financial may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such
as, but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the
Client, and its reputation and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices.
LGG 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”. LGG 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 a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and
other services. LGG Financial does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any
broker-dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian.
Please see Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - LGG 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 LGG 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]). LGG 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. LGG Financial will execute its transactions
through the Custodian as authorized by the Client.
LGG 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.

http://www.lggfinancial.com
Page 13
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by David Greenleigh, Chief
Compliance Officer of LGG Financial. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more
frequently depending on the needs of the Client.
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 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 LGG 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 LGG Financial
LGG 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, LGG
Financial may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties. Clients are under no
obligations to engage these service providers.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
LGG 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 LGG Financial. As a registered
investment advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, LGG 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 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.

Phone: (301) 312-6660 * Fax: (301) 560-8560

Page 14
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services and financial support to LGG
Financial that may not benefit the Client, including: educational conferences and events, financial start-up
support, 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 conflict of interest. LGG Financial
believes, however, that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
LGG Financial does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any affiliated or unaffiliated parties
(“Promoters”) for Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
LGG Financial is authorized to deduct its fess from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Client must
place all assets with a "qualified custodian." The Client is required to engage the Custodian to retain funds and
securities and direct LGG Financial to utilize that Custodian for securities transactions in the account[s]. The
Client should review statements provided by the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For
more information about custoidans and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
If the Client gives the LGG Financial the authority to move funds from one account to another account, LGG
Financial may have custody of those assets. In order to avoid additional regulatory requirements, LGG Financial
and the Custodian have adopted safeguards to ensure that all money movement activities are conducted in
accordance with the Client’s documented instructions.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
LGG 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 LGG Financial. LGG Financial also has non-discretionary authority over assets of a single legacy client
engagement. 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 a wealth management agreement containing all
applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by LGG Financial will be in accordance with
each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
LGG 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 LGG Financial, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair
the ability of LGG Financial to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither LGG Financial, nor any of its Advisory
Persons, have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. LGG 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.

Item 4 – Services Fees and Compensation
A. Services
The Luts & Greenleigh Group, Inc. (“LGG Financial” or the “Advisor”) provides customized wealth management
services for its Clients. This Wrap Fee Program Brochure is provided as a supplement to the LGG Financial
Disclosure Brochure (Form ADV 2A). This Wrap Fee Program Brochure is provided along with the complete
Disclosure Brochure to provide full details of the business practices and fees when selecting LGG Financial as
your investment advisor.
As part of the investment advisory fees noted in Item 5 of the Disclosure Brochure, LGG Financial includes
securities transaction fees for mutual funds, custody fees and administrative fees and fees for certain
independent managers (herein “Covered Costs”) as part of the overall investment advisory fee. Securities
regulations often refer to this combined fee structure as a “Wrap Fee Program”. The Advisor sponsors the LGG
Financial Wrap Fee Program.
The sole purpose of this Wrap Fee Program Brochure is to provide additional disclosure relating the combination
of Covered Costs into the single “bundled” investment advisory fee. This Wrap Fee Program Brochure references
back to the LGG Financial Disclosure Brochure in which this Wrap Fee Program Brochure serves as an
Appendix. Please see Item 4 – Advisory Services of the Disclosure Brochure for details on LGG
Financial’s investment philosophy and related services.
B. Program Costs
Advisory services provided by LGG Financial are offered in a wrap fee structure whereby Covered Costs are
included in the overall investment advisory fee paid to LGG Financial. As the level of trading in a Client’s
account[s] may vary from year to year, the annual cost to the Client may be more or less than engaging for
advisory services where the Covered Costs are borne separately by the Client. The cost of the Wrap Fee
Program varies depending on services to be provided to each Client, however, the Client is not charged more if
there is higher trading activity or other Covered Costs in the Client’s account[s]. A Wrap Fee structure presents a
conflict of interest as the Advisor may have an incentive to limit the number of trades placed in the Client’s
account[s] or to utilize securities that do not have transaction fees. As noted above, the Advisor’s recommended
Custodian does not charge securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in Client accounts, provided the
Client’s accounts meet the terms and conditions of the Custodian’s brokerage requirements. However, the
Custodian typically charges for mutual funds and other types of investments. As such, the Advisor is incentivized
to utilize ETFs and other equity securities to limit the overall cost to the Advisor. The Advisor will only place Client
assets into a Wrap Fee Program when it is believed to be in the Client’s best interest. Please see Item 5 – Fees
and Compensation of the Disclosure Brochure for complete details on fees.
C. Fees
Wealth management fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the
agreement. Wealth management fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of
the prior calendar quarter. Wealth management fees range from 0.85% to 1.50% annually based on several factors,
including: the complexity of the services to be provided, the level of assets to be managed, the use of independent
managers, and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific reporting
requirements, portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee.
The wealth management fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the Account[s] to
the end of the first quarter. 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 the Advisor. All securities held in accounts
managed by LGG Financial will be independently valued by the Custodian. LGG Financial will conduct periodic
reviews of the Custodian’s valuations.
As noted above, the Wrap Fee Program includes Covered Costs incurred in connection with the discretionary
investment management services provided by LGG Financial.

In addition, all fees paid to LGG Financial for wealth management services or part of the Wrap Fee Program are
separate and distinct from the expenses charged by mutual funds and exchange-traded funds 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. Securities transaction fees for Client-
directed trades will be charged back to the Client. The Client may also incur other costs assessed by the
Custodian or other third parties other than the Covered Costs noted above, , such as wire transfer fees, fees for
trades executed away from the Custodian and other fees. The Advisor does not control nor share in these fees. The
Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by LGG Financial to fully
understand the total fees to be paid. Please see Item 5.C. – Other Fees and Expenses in the Disclosure Brochure
(included with this Wrap Fee Program Brochure).
D. Compensation
LGG Financial is the sponsor and portfolio manager of this Wrap Fee Program. LGG Financial receives
investment advisory fees paid by Clients for participating in the Wrap Fee Program and pays the Covered Costs
associated with the management of the Client’s account[s].
Item 5 – Account Requirements and Types of Clients
LGG Financial offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts and estates.
LGG Financial generally does not impose a minimum account size for establishing a relationship. Please see
Item 7 – Types of Clients in the Disclosure Brochure for additional information.
Item 6 – Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation
Portfolio Manager Selection
LGG Financial serves as sponsor and as portfolio manager for the services under this Wrap Fee Program.
Related Persons

Methods of Analysis
Please see Item 8 of the Disclosure Brochure (included with this Wrap Fee Program Brochure) for details on the
research and analysis methods employed by the Advisor.
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. LGG 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.
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

Page 19
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.
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. Please see Item 8.B – Risk of Loss in the Disclosure Brochure for
details on investment risks.
Proxy Voting
LGG Financial does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client.
Item 7 – Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers
LGG Financial is the sponsor and sole portfolio manager for the Program. A portion of assets may be managed
by an unaffiliated money manager, where Client information will be shared with other portfolio managers. Please
also see the LGG Financial Privacy Policy (included after this Wrap Fee Program Brochure).
Item 8 – Client Contact with Portfolio Managers
LGG Financial is a full-service investment management advisory firm. Clients always have direct access to the
Portfolio Managers at LGG Financial. Client’s also have the ability to reach out to Independent Managers for any
direct inquiries.

Please see Item 9 of the LGG Financial Disclosure Brochure as well as Item 3 of each Advisory Person’s

advisory firms like LGG Financial. As a registered investment advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor
Services platform, LGG 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 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 and financial support to LGG
Financial that may not benefit the Client, including: educational conferences and events, financial start-up
support, 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 conflict of interest. LGG Financial
believes, however, that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
Please see Item 14 – Other Compensation in the Form ADV Part 2A – Disclosure Brochure (included with this
Wrap Fee Program Brochure) for details on additional compensation that may be received by LGG Financial or
its Advisory Persons. Each Advisory Person’s Brochure Supplement (also included with this Wrap Fee Program
Brochure) provides details on any outside business activities and the associated compensation.
Compensation for Client Referrals
The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for
Client referrals.
Financial Information
Neither LGG Financial, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair
the ability of LGG Financial to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither LGG Financial, nor any of its Advisory
Persons, have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. LGG 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.
