Item 4 Advisory Business
Medallion Wealth Advisors, LLC (“MWA, we, us, our, ours”) is registered as an
investment advisor with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Our
principal place of business is located in Farmington, Connecticut. MWA maintains an
office of convenience in Sarasota, Florida. Medallion Wealth Advisors is a limited
liability company formed in 2010 under the laws of Connecticut. MWA began
conducting business in 2011. E. Thorson Cheyne is the Sole Member of the company.
Medallion Wealth Advisors offer the following investment advisory services to our
clients:
• Portfolio Management Services
• Pension Consulting Services
• Financial Planning
• Consulting
• Third-Party Advisory Services
• 403(b) Retirement Plans
Individual Portfolio Management Services
Our firm provides continuous advice to a client regarding the investment of client funds
based on the individual needs of the client. Through personal discussions in which
goals and objectives based on the client’s particular circumstances are established, we
develop the client’s personal investment policy. We create and manage a portfolio
based on that policy. During our data gathering process, we determine the client’s
individual objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. As appropriate,
we may also review and discuss a client’s prior investment history, as well as family
composition and background.
We manage these advisory accounts on either a discretionary (where the client
authorizes us to make specific investment decisions on their behalf) and non-
discretionary basis (where we must obtain the client’s specific prior approval before
each and every transaction can be executed for their investment account).
Whether we are authorized to exercise discretion with respect to the client’s investment
account is the client’s choice. When the client establishes an advisory relationship with
us, we will ask that the client advise us in writing how they would like us to handle their
account.
The scope of the discretionary authority that a client may grant to us is limited to
selecting specific investments for their account and deciding how to allocate their
assets among those investments. We may decide if and when to buy, hold, or sell those
investments. Once a client has granted discretionary authority to us, it is effective until
the client changes it or revokes it in writing.
5 | P a g e
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of
securities, or industry sectors.
Account supervision is guided by the client’s stated objectives (i.e., maximum capital
appreciation, growth, income, or growth and income), as well as tax considerations.
Once the client’s portfolio has been established, we review the portfolio quarterly, and
if necessary, rebalance the portfolio on an annual basis, based on the client’s individual
needs. Automatic rebalancing will only occur in discretionary accounts. For non-
discretionary accounts, we will obtain the client’s prior approval before entering any
rebalancing transaction. Market considerations are discussed and remain relevant in
the balancing discussion.
We rely upon the client to notify us of any changes in their objectives, goals and risk
tolerances, as well as any other material changes in their personal circumstances (such
as employment, marital status, financial condition, etc.). These changes may require
changes in your investment account and the investment strategies employed.
Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service
offered by a broker/dealer and will generally include advice regarding the following
securities:
• Exchange listed securities (Equities, exchange traded funds, preferred stock)
• Corporate debt securities
• Municipal debt securities
• United Sates governmental securities
• Certificates of deposit
• Mutual fund shares (Open end and closed end)
Since some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only
be recommended when consistent with the client’s stated investment objectives,
tolerance for risk, liquidity and suitability.
Wrap Fee Program
MWA offers a wrap fee program through which we provide portfolio management
services as outlined above for one fee. The wrap fee includes our advisory fee,
custodial and brokerage fees. The program is more fully described in our Medallion
Wealth Advisors, LLC Wrap Fee Program Brochure. This brochure will be provided to
clients utilizing our wrap fee program and free of charge to any client upon request.
Non-Wrap Fee Program
MWA also offers a non-wrap fee program through which we provide portfolio
management services as outlined above for one fee. The non-wrap fee only includes
6 | P a g e
our advisory fee. It does not include custodial and brokerage fees.
We do not manage wrap accounts differently from how we manage non-wrap accounts.
A wrap fee program may cost you more or less than purchasing these services separately
through a non-wrap program, depending on the amount of trading activity in your
account, the value of services that are provided to you under this program, and other
factors. Therefore, IARs may have a financial incentive to recommend the wrap fee
program over other programs or services. Generally, wrap programs may result in higher
overall costs to you in accounts that experience little trading activity. Please review the
costs carefully with your IAR to determine whether our wrap fee program vs. our non-
wrap fee is appropriate for your circumstances.
Pension Consulting Services
We also provide several advisory services separately or in combination. While the
primary clients for these services will be pension, profit sharing and 401(k) plans, we
offer these services, where appropriate, to individuals and trusts, estates and charitable
organizations. Pension consulting services are comprised of four distinct services.
Clients may choose to use any or all of these services.
Investment Policy Statement Preparation (IPS): We will offer to meet with the client to
determine an appropriate investment strategy that reflects the plan sponsor’s stated
investment objectives for management of the overall plan. Our firm then prepares a
written IPS detailing those needs and goals, including an encompassing policy under
which these goals are to be achieved. The IPS also lists the criteria for selection of
investment vehicles as well as the producers and timing interval for the monitoring of
investment performance.
Selection of Investment Vehicles: We assist plan sponsors in constructing appropriate
asset allocation models followed by assisting in the selection of investment vehicles;
i.e., mutual funds and electronic traded funds to complement the allocations. The
number of investments to be recommended will be determined by the client.
Monitoring of Investment Performance: We will monitor and supervise the client’s
portfolio and may make recommendations to the client as market factors and the client’s
needs dictate.
Employee Communications: For pension, profit sharing and 401(k) plan clients with
individual plan participants exercising control over assets in their own account (“self-
directed plans”), we may also provide quarterly educational support and investment
workshops designed for the plan participants. The nature of the topics to be covered
will be determined by us and the client under guidelines established in ERISA Section
404(c). The educational support and investment workshops may offer to provide plan
participants with individualized, tailored investment advice or individualized, tailored
asset allocation recommendations.
7 | P a g e
Financial Planning
We provide financial planning services. Financial planning is an evaluation of a
client’s current and future financial state by using currently known variables to
forecast future cash flows, asset values and withdrawal plans. Through the financial
planning process, questions, information and analysis are considered as they impact
and are impacted by the entire financial and life situation of the client.
In general, the financial plan can address any or all of the following areas:
Personal: We review family records, budgeting, personal liability and
financial goals.
Tax & Cash Flow: We analyze the client’s income tax, spending and
planning for past, current and future years, then illustrate the impact of
various investments on the client’s current income tax and future tax
liability.
Investments: We analyze investment alternatives and their effect on
the client’s portfolio.
Insurance: We review existing policies for life, health, disability, long term
care and liability.
Retirement: We analyze current strategies and investment plans to help
the client achieve his or her retirement goals.
Death & Disability: We review the client’s cash needs at death, income
need of surviving dependents, estate planning and elder estate preservation
planning.
Estate: We assist the client in assessing and developing long-term
strategies, including as appropriate, living trusts, wills, estate tax,
powers of attorney and asset protection plans.
During the financial planning process, we gather required information through in-
depth personal interviews. The information gathered includes the client’s current
financial status, tax status, future goals, return objectives and attitudes toward risk.
We carefully review documents supplied by the client, including a questionnaire
completed by the client. In performing its services, Medallion Wealth Advisors shall not
be required to verify any information received from the client or from the client's other
professionals (e.g., attorney, accountant, etc.).
Should the client choose to implement the recommendations contained in the plan,
we suggest the client work closely with her/his attorney, accountant, and insurance
agent. Implementation of financial plan recommendations is entirely at the client’s
discretion.
Consulting Services
Clients can also receive investment advice on a more focused basis. This may include
advice on only an isolated area(s) of concern such as estate planning, elder client
estate preservation, retirement planning, or any other specific topic. These services
are not considered financial planning services because we will not perform a
8 | P a g e
comprehensive analysis of the client’s financial position and may not prepare a written
report documenting our review.
Third-Party Investment Advisory Services
We may recommend that all or a portion of a client’s portfolio be allocated to
unaffiliated third-party investment managers. We have entered into agreements with
various third- party investment managers to provide investment management services
for our clients. We will use the information the client has provided about their
investment objectives, goals, and risk tolerances, as well as other relevant information
to identify a third-party investment manager(s) whose investment strategies appear
appropriate for the client.
Some of the other relevant information considered in recommending a third-party
investment manager include (but are not limited to):
the size and composition of the client’s investment account;
• client preference for certain types of investments or investment strategies;
• client investment time horizon;
•
• client tax considerations;
• our prior experience with and preferences for particular investment managers;
•
•
the fees charged by the investment manager; and
the experience and capabilities of the investment manager.
As noted above, regardless of the services the client chooses, we strongly encourage
the client to notify us if there are any changes in their personal circumstances, financial
situation, investment objectives or risk tolerances.
403(b) Retirement Plans
We may offer 403(b) retirement plans to educators and employees of schools,
hospitals and not-for-profit (501c) organizations. The IARs may offer Plan Sponsors
with customized investment advisory services, diversified investment menus,
consulting, reporting, and participant educational programs.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, we were actively managing approximately $ 491,030,168
of client assets on a discretionary basis (where we made all of the investment
decisions). Approximately $25,898,979 of client assets were managed on a non-
discretionary basis (where our clients made the investment decisions based upon
our recommendations).

Fees for Financial Planning Services
Our financial planning fee is waived for clients with assets under our management.
For all other clients, a fee will be determined based on the nature of the services being
provided and the complexity of each client’s circumstances. All fees are agreed upon
prior to entering into a contract or an engagement with any client. Comprehensive
financial planning fees are negotiable, but generally range from $1,000 to $5,000 on
a fixed fee basis. Financial planning fees are billed and due upon completion and
presentation of the financial plan.
If the client engages Medallion Wealth Advisors for additional investment advisory
11 | P a g e
services, Medallion Wealth Advisors may offset all or a portion of its fees for those
services based upon the amount paid for the financial planning.
Fees for Consulting Services
Our consulting services fee will be determined based on the nature of the services
being provided and the complexity of each client’s circumstances. All fees are agreed
upon prior to entering into a contract or an engagement with any client. Consulting
fees are negotiable, but generally range from $100 to $300 on an hourly rate basis,
depending upon the level and scope of the services. Consulting fees are billed and
due upon completion of the consulting service.
Compensation for the Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products
Management personnel and other investment advisory representatives (“IAR”) of our
firm may also be registered representatives of Osaic Wealth, LLC, a broker-dealer that
is a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the Securities
Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). MWA is not affiliated with Osaic Wealth,
LLC.
If a client chooses to affect securities transactions through an IAR in his/her capacity
as a registered representative of a broker-dealer, the IAR may receive commissions
and other compensation from those transactions. For example, the IAR may receive
12b-1 fees, which are fees paid by mutual fund companies for the on-going marketing
of their investment products.
Management personnel and other IARs of our firm may be licensed as insurance
agents or brokers through various insurance companies that are unaffiliated with MWA.
As such, they may receive commissions from any insurance products the client
purchases through them.
IAR will explain
The arrangements described above may present a conflict of interest to the extent
that these individuals recommend that a client invest in a security which results in a
commission being paid to the individuals. We are nonetheless committed to acting in
your best interests at all times. Compensation received by IARs acting in their
capacities as insurance agent or registered representative is separate and distinct
from advisory fees charged by MWA. MWA does not offset its asset management or
financial planning fees for IAR’s fees or commissions received as a registered
representative or insurance agent. Your
the costs of all
recommendations made to you.
Clients are not under any obligation to engage these individuals when considering the
implementation of advisory recommendations. The implementation of any or all
recommendations is solely at the discretion of the client.
12 | P a g e
General Information
Termination of the Advisory Relationship: Clients may terminate the agreement
without penalty, for a full refund of MWA’s fees within five business days of signing
the advisory agreement. Thereafter, client relationship may be cancelled at any time,
by either party, for any reason upon receipt of written notice. A client may receive a
refund if requested in writing of a pre-paid fee if the advisory contract is terminated
before the end of the billing period. The refund will be calculated based on the number
of unused days of service.
Mutual Funds Fees: All fees paid to us for investment advisory services are separate
and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds and/or ETFs to their
shareholders. These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus.
These fees will generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, and a
possible distribution fee. MWA will not participate in the sharing of fees charged by the
mutual fund.
Item 6 Performance-Based Fees
We do not charge performance-based fees for any of the services described in this
brochure. Performance-based fees are generally based on a percentage of the capital
gains on and/or appreciation of the client account assets.
Item 7 Types of Clients
We provide advisory services to individuals and families, including their trusts,
estates, and retirement accounts. We also provide services
to charitable
organizations, pension and profit-sharing plans, corporations or other entities. MWA
does not impose any requirements to open or maintain an account.
Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and
Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
We use the following methods of analysis in formulating our investment advice and/or
managing client assets:
Mutual Fund and/or ETF Analysis: We look at the experience and track record of the
manager of the mutual fund or ETF in an attempt to determine if that manager has
demonstrated an ability to invest over a period of time and in different economic
conditions. We also look at the underlying assets in a mutual fund or ETF in an attempt
to determine if there is significant overlap in the underlying investments held in
another funds(s) in the client’s portfolio. We also monitor the funds or ETFs in an
13 | P a g e
attempt to determine if they are continuing to follow their stated investment strategy.
A risk of mutual fund and/or ETF analysis is that, as in all securities investments, past
performance does not guarantee future results. A manager who has been successful
may not be able to replicate that success in the future. In addition, as we do not control
the underlying investments in a fund or ETF, managers of different funds held by the
client may purchase the same security, increasing the risk to the client if that security
were to fall in value. There is also a risk that a manager may deviate from the stated
investment mandate or strategy of the fund or ETF, which could make the holding(s)
less suitable for the client’s portfolio.
As previously noted, we may recommend the use of third-party investment managers
to implement our investment advice. We analyze individual investment managers
based upon their investment strategies, experience, performance track record,
reputations, and fee arrangements.
Risks for all forms of analysis: Our securities analysis methods rely on the assumption
that the companies whose securities we purchase and sell, the rating agencies that
review these securities, and other publicly available sources of information about
these securities, are providing accurate and unbiased data. While we are alert to
indications that data may be incorrect, there is always a risk that our analysis may be
compromised by inaccurate or misleading information.
Investment Strategies
We use the following strategy in managing client accounts, provided that such strategy
is appropriate to the needs of the client and consistent with the client’s investment
objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizons, among other considerations:
Long-term purchase: We purchase securities with the idea of holding them in the
client’s account for a year or longer. Typically, we employ this strategy when we want
exposure to a particular asset class over time, regardless of the current projection of
this class.
A risk in a long-term purchase strategy is that by holding the security for this length of
time, we may not take advantage of short-term gains that could be profitable to a
client. A security may decline sharply in value before we make the decision to sell.
Although we manage your account in a manner, we believe is consistent with your
specific investment objectives and risk tolerances, there can be no guarantee that our
efforts will be successful. General economic conditions, current interest rates, the
performance of a particular industry or a particular company, and any number of other
factors can affect investment performance.
You should be prepared to bear the risk of loss. All investments are subject to loss,
including (among other things) loss of principal, a reduction in earnings (including
interest, dividends and other distributions), and the loss of future earnings.
14 | P a g e
Item 9 Disciplinary Information
Our firm and our management personnel have not been the subject of any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of our business or the
integrity of our management.
Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
As previously noted, certain of our IARs may be registered representatives of broker-
dealers unaffiliated with us. They may be licensed to sell insurance products through
various insurance companies that are unaffiliated with us. Clients are under no
obligation to utilize the services of the IAR in the purchase or sales of securities or
insurance products through his/her association with a broker-dealer, insurance
company or Introducing Broker. However, any transactions a client may affect through
the IAR in conjunction with those relationships may result in the receipt of
commissions and other compensation in addition to any advisory fees that we charge.
Information about the IAR’s financial industry activities and affiliations is disclosed in
the IAR’s supplement which the client will receive with this brochure. Additional
information about the IAR is also available at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.
Recommendations of Other Advisers
for recommending you use
We may recommend that all or a portion of a client’s portfolio be allocated to
unaffiliated Third-Party investment managers (“TPM”). We receive compensation from
the TPM
their services. These compensation
arrangements present a conflict of interest because we have a financial incentive to
recommend the services of the TPM. The fees you pay the TPMM are the same as you
would pay had you obtained the services directly from the TPM. You are not obligated,
contractually or otherwise, to use the services of any TPM we recommend.
Item 11 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
Our firm has adopted a Code of Ethics which sets forth high ethical standards of
business conduct that we require of our employees, including compliance with
applicable federal laws. The Code includes our policies and procedures developed to
protect client interests in relation to the following:
•
•
the duty at all times to place client interests ahead of ours;
that all personal securities transactions of our IARs and employees be
15 | P a g e
conducted in a manner consistent with the Code and avoid any actual or
potential conflict of interest, or any abuse of an IAR’s or employee’s position
of trust and responsibility;
that IARs may not take inappropriate advantage of their positions;
•
•
that information concerning the identity of client security holdings and financial
circumstances are confidential; and that independence in the investment
decision-making process is paramount.
We will provide a copy of our Code of Ethics to advisory clients and prospective clients
upon request. You may request a copy by calling 860-967-3032.
We may buy or sell securities for our own account that we also recommend to clients.
Our IARs and employees are permitted to buy or sell the same securities for their
personal and family accounts that are bought or sold for client account.
A conflict of interest exists in such cases because we have the ability to trade ahead
of you and potentially receive more favorable prices than you will receive.
We have adopted policies and procedures that are intended to address these conflicts
of interest. These policies and procedures:
require our IARs and employees to act in the client’s best interest,
•
• prohibit favoring one client over another, and
• provide for the review of transactions to discover and correct any trade in an
IAR’s or employee’s account that is affected in a manner inconsistent with our
Code.
Our IARs and employees must follow our procedures when purchasing or selling the
same securities purchased or sold for a client’s account.
All Associated Persons of the Firm must comply with applicable federal securities
laws. In particular, it is unlawful for the Firm and any Associated Person, by use of the
mail or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce, directly or indirectly:
• To employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud any client or prospective
client of the Firm;
• To engage in any transaction, practice, or course of business which operates
or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon any client or prospective client of
the Firm; or
• To engage in any fraudulent, deceptive, or manipulative practice.
In addition, the Firm and its Associated Persons must comply with all applicable
federal securities laws, which shall generally be explained in the Firm’s Compliance
Manual. Associated Persons must report any violations of the Code of Ethics to the
Firm’s Chief Compliance Officer.

Item 12 Brokerage Practices
The Custodian We Use: We do not maintain custody of your assets, although we are
deemed to have custody of your assets because you give us authority to withdraw our
fees from your account. See the “Custody” section (Item 15). Your assets must be
maintained in an account at a “qualified custodian”, generally a broker/dealer or bank.
We will generally recommend our clients to use either Charles Schwab & Co. Inc.
(“Schwab”) or Pershing Advisor Solutions, LLC (“Pershing”), member SIPC, as the
qualified custodian (hereafter called “the Custodian”). We are independently owned
and operated and are not affiliated with either Schwab or Pershing. While we
recommend that you use either Schwab or Pershing as custodian, you decide whether
to do so, and will open your account with the Custodian by entering into an agreement
directly with them.
We do not participate in soft dollar arrangements with the possible exception(s):
Our recommendation of a specific custodian is based in part on our existing
relationships; the custodian’s financial strength; reputation; breadth of investment
products; and the cost and quality of custody and brokerage services provided to our
clients.
The determining factor in the selection of a particular custodian to execute
transactions for your accounts is not the lowest possible transaction cost, but whether
they can provide what is in our view the best qualitative execution for investment
transactions for the client’s account.
Medallion Wealth Advisors may receive the following benefits from the Custodian:
receipt of duplicate client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; access to
a trading desk that exclusively services its participants; access to block trading which
provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions and then allocate the
appropriate shares to client accounts; and access to an electronic communication
network for client order entry and account information.
Medallion Wealth Advisors may receive from the Custodian, without cost to MWA,
computer software and related systems support, which allow Medallion Wealth
Advisors to better monitor client accounts maintained at the Custodian. MWA may
receive the software and related support without cost because MWA renders
investment management services to clients that maintain assets at the Custodian.
The software and related systems support may benefit MWA, but not its clients directly.
In fulfilling its duties to its clients, MWA endeavors at all times to put the interests of its
clients first. Clients should be aware however, that MWA's receipt of economic
benefits from a broker-dealer creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may
influence MWA’s choice of broker- dealer over another broker-dealer that does not
furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
17 | P a g e
Consistent with obtaining best execution, brokerage transactions may be directed to
certain broker-dealers in return for investment research products and/or services
which assist Medallion Wealth Advisors in its investment decision-making process.
Such research generally will be used to service all of Medallion Wealth Advisors'
clients, but brokerage commissions paid by one client may be used to pay for research
that is not used in managing that client's portfolio. The receipt of investment research
products and/or services as well as the allocation of the benefit of such investment
research products and/or services poses a conflict of interest.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
We do not receive client referrals from broker-dealers in exchange for cash or other
compensation.
Directed Brokerage
You may direct us in writing to use a particular custodian to execute some or all of the
transactions for your account. If you do so, you may be responsible for negotiating
the terms and arrangements for the account with that custodian.
We may not be able to negotiate commissions, obtain volume discounts, or best
execution with custodians with whom we do not have a pre-existing relationship. A
difference in transaction fees and expenses may also exist between those charged to
clients who direct us to use a particular custodian and other clients who do not.
Block Trades
We may engage in block trading, which is the purchase or sale of a security for the
accounts of multiple clients in a single transaction. If a block trade is executed, each
participating client receives a price that represents the average of the prices at which
all of the transactions in a given bunch were executed.
Executing a bunched trade allows transaction costs to be shared equally and on a pro
rata basis among all of the participating clients. If the order is not completely filled,
the securities purchased or sold are distributed among participating clients on a pro rata
basis or in some other equitable manner.
Bunched trades are placed only when we reasonably believe that the combination of
the transactions provides better prices for clients than had individual transactions been
placed for clients.
Transactions for non-discretionary client accounts are generally not bunched with
transactions for discretionary client accounts. Transactions for the accounts of our
IARs and employees may be included in bunched trades. They will receive the same
average price and pay the same commissions and other transaction costs as clients.
Transactions for the accounts of our IARs or employees will not be prioritized over
transactions for client accounts.
We are not obligated to include any client transaction in a bunched trade. Bunched
trades will not be affected for any client’s account if doing so is prohibited or otherwise
18 | P a g e
inconsistent with that client’s investment advisory agreement. No client will be favored
over any other client
Item 13 Review of Accounts
Individual Portfolio Management Services
Reviews: While the underlying securities within Individual Portfolio Management
Services accounts are continually monitored, these accounts are reviewed quarterly.
Accounts are reviewed in the context of each client’s stated investment objectives and
guidelines. More frequent reviews may be triggered by material changes in variables
such as the client’s individual circumstances, or the market, political or economic
environment.
These accounts are reviewed by:
E. Thorson Cheyne – President, Investment Advisor Representative
Matthew Woods Weber, CFP® - Investment Advisor Representative
Reports: In addition to the monthly statements and confirmations of transactions that
clients receive from Pershing Advisor Solutions, Medallion Wealth Advisors will
provide quarterly reports summarizing account performance, balances and holdings.
Pension Consulting Services
Reviews: MWA will review the client’s account whenever the client advises us of a
change in circumstances regarding the needs of the plan. MWA will also review the
investment options of the plan according to the agreed upon time intervals. Such
reviews will generally occur quarterly.
These accounts are reviewed by:
E. Thorson Cheyne – President, Investment Advisor Representative
Matthew Woods Weber, CFP® - Investment Advisor Representative
Reports: These client accounts will receive reports in addition to the monthly or
quarterly statements and confirmations of transactions that clients receive from their
custodian. Medallion Wealth Advisors will provide reports as contracted for at the
inception of the advisory relationship.
Financial Planning Services
19 | P a g e
Reviews: While reviews may occur at different stages depending on the nature and
terms of the specific agreement, typically no formal reviews will be conducted for
Financial Planning Services clients unless otherwise contracted for.
Reports: Financial planning services clients will receive a completed financial plan.
Additional reports will not typically be provided unless otherwise contracted for.
Consulting Services
Reviews: While reviews may occur at different stages depending on the nature and
terms of the specific agreement, typically no formal reviews will be conducted for
Consulting Services clients unless otherwise contracted for.
Reports: Consulting services clients will not typically receive reports due to the nature
of the service.
Third-Party Investment Management Services
Our IARs will regularly review the reports provided to clients by any third-party
investment managers that are managing assets for their clients. The IAR will contact
the client at least annually (or more often as agreed upon with the client) to review the
client’s financial situation, investment goals and objectives and risk tolerances, and
the performance of the third-party investment manager to help monitor that the
account is being managed in a manner consistent with the client’s objectives.
Again, we strongly encourage clients to advise their IAR of any changes in their
personal circumstances, investment goals or objectives, and risk tolerances to help
ensure that their investments and investment strategies are appropriate.
Clients will receive statements on at least a quarterly basis from the custodian holding
their accounts. These statements will identify the current investment holdings, the
cost of each of those investments, and their current market values.
403(b) Retirement Plans
Reviews: While reviews may occur at different stages depending on the nature and
terms of the specific agreement, typically no formal reviews will be conducted for
403(b) Retirement Plan clients unless otherwise contracted for.
Reports: 403(b) Retirement Plan clients will receive a completed financial plan.
Additional reports will not typically be provided unless otherwise contracted for.
Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Our firm may pay referral fees to independent persons or firm (“Solicitors”) for
introducing clients to us. Whenever we pay a referral fee, we require the Solicitor to
provide the prospective client with a copy of this document (our Firm Brochure) and a
separate disclosure statement that includes the following information:
• The Solicitor’s name and relationship with our firm
20 | P a g e
• The fact that the Solicitor is being paid a referral fee
• The amount of the fee
As a matter of firm practice, the advisory fees paid to us by clients referred by
Solicitors are not increased as a result of any referral.
Our solicitation or referral arrangements will comply with applicable laws that govern:
the nature of the services provided;
the fees to be paid;
•
•
• disclosure of solicitor arrangements to clients; and
• client consents, as required.
We receive certain economic benefits as a result of our partnership in Pershing’s
institutional brokerage program. Those benefits are described in detail in the preceding
section entitled “Brokerage Practices” (Item 12).
As noted above in Item 5, we receive compensation by referring you to Third-Party
managers. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to
recommend those Third-Party managers based on the compensation we receive rather
than what’s in your best interest. We address this by disclosing it to you. Additionally,
as fiduciaries, we place your interests above our own in determining whether a referral
to a Third-Party manager is appropriate for you. You are under no obligation to use
the services of any Third-Party manager we may recommend.
Item 15 Custody
Client assets are maintained with a qualified custodian (“Custodian”). Medallion
Wealth Advisors shall generally recommend that clients utilize the brokerage and
clearing services of either Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) or Pershing
Advisors Solutions (“Pershing”) for investment management accounts.
We do not have physical custody of client assets but under the government
regulations, we may be deemed to have custody of your assets because you
authorize us to instruct your Custodian to deduct our advisory fees directly from your
account, or if you grant us authority to move your money to another person’s account.
Your Custodian will maintain actual custody of your assets. You will receive account
statements directly from your Custodian at least quarterly, most likely monthly. They
will be sent to the email or postal mailing address you provide. You should carefully
review those statements promptly when you receive them. We urge you to compare
Schwab or Pershing account statements to the period account statement you will
receive from us.
We previously disclosed in the “Fees and Compensation” section (Item 5) of this
brochure that our firm directly debits advisory fees from client accounts. As part of this
21 | P a g e
billing process, the client’s Custodian is advised of the amount of the fee to be
deducted from that client’s account. On at least a quarterly basis, the Custodian is
required to send to the client a statement showing all transactions within the account
during the reporting period.
It is important for clients to carefully review their custodial statements to verify the
accuracy of the calculation, among other things. Clients should contact us directly if
they believe that there may be an error in their statement.
In addition to the periodic statements that clients receive directly from their custodians,
we also send account statements directly to our clients on a quarterly basis. We urge our
clients to carefully compare the information provided on these statements to ensure that
all account transactions, holdings and values are correct and current. We also encourage
clients to contact MWA management or MWA IAR should they have any questions or
concerns regarding their account.
Item 16 Investments Discretion
As previously noted, we offer our advisory services on a discretionary basis (meaning
that we do not need advance approval from the client to determine the type and
amount of securities to be bought and sold for the client’s account) and on a non-
discretionary basis (meaning that we need advance approval from the client to
determine the type and amount of securities to be bought and sold for the client’s
accounts before each and every transaction). We may only exercise discretion if you
have provided that authority to us in writing. This authorization is typically included in
the investment advisory agreement you enter into with us.
The discretionary authority you grant to us does not provide us the ability to choose
the custodian through whom transactions for the client’s account will be executed or
to negotiate brokerage fees or expenses. Additionally, our discretionary authority
does not provide us the ability to withdraw funds from the client’s account (other than
to withdraw our advisory fees, which may only be done with the client’s prior written
authorization). We will exercise discretion in a manner consistent with the stated
investment objectives for your account.
Typically, under third-party investment management arrangements, the third-party
investment manager exercises discretion in the management of the client’s account.
All securities transactions are selected and executed by that manager. We do not
manage or obtain discretionary authority over the assets in those accounts.
Item 17 Voting Client Securities
We do not vote proxies except in limited cases; however, you always have the right
to vote proxies yourself. You may request our firm to vote your proxy for your account.
You can exercise this right by instructing us in writing to not vote proxies in your
22 | P a g e
account.
When voting proxies, we will vote in the best interests of our clients and in accordance
with our established policies and procedures. Our firm will retain all proxy voting books
and records for the requisite period of time, including a copy of each proxy statement
received, a record of each vote cast, a copy of any document created by us that was
material to making a decision how to vote proxies, and a copy of each written client
request for information on how the adviser voted proxies. If our firm has a conflict of
interest in voting a particular action, we will notify the client of the conflict and retain
an independent third- party to cast a vote. Clients may obtain a copy of our complete
proxy voting policies and procedures by contacting us by telephone, email, or in
writing.
Clients may request, in writing, information on how proxies for his/her shares were
voted. If any client requests a copy of our complete proxy policies and procedures or
how we voted proxies for his/her account(s), we will promptly provide such information
to the client.
We will neither advise nor act on behalf of the client in legal proceedings involving
companies whose securities are held in the client’s account(s), including, but not
limited to, the filing of “Proofs of Claim” in class action settlements. If desired, clients
may direct us to transmit copies of class action notices to the client or a third party.
Upon such direction, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to forward such
notices in a timely manner.
With respect to ERISA accounts, we will vote proxies for our advisory clients. To direct
us to vote a proxy in a particular manner, clients should contact us by telephone,
email, or in writing. You can instruct us to vote proxies according to particular criteria
(for example, to always vote with management, or to vote for or against a proposal to
allow a so-called “poison pill” defense against a possible takeover). These requests
must be made in writing. You can also instruct us on how to cast your vote in a
particular proxy contest by contacting us.
Item 18 Financial Information
We have no financial commitment that impairs our ability to meet contractual and
fiduciary commitments to clients. We have not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition
at any time during the past ten years.
Under no circumstances do we require or solicit payment of fees in advance of six
months or more for services rendered. Therefore, we are not required to include a
financial statement.

Item 2 Material Changes
Medallion Wealth Advisors, LLC (“MWA, we, our, ours”) will provide our disclosure brochure
(“brochure”) to you when we enter into an advisory agreement with you. Our brochure will
be updated no less than annually. Within 120 days of our fiscal year end we will deliver a

the broker dealer previously used, American Portfolios Financial Services, Inc. This
change may impact certain trading and execution practices, and clients are encouraged to

Item 4 Services, Fees and Compensation
Medallion Wealth Advisors, LLC (“MWA, we, us, our, ours”) is registered as an
investment advisor with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Our
principal place of business is located in Farmington, Connecticut. Medallion Wealth
Advisors is a limited liability company formed in 2010 under the laws of Connecticut.
MWA began conducting business in 2011. E. Thorson Cheyne is the Sole Member of
the company.
The Wrap Fee Program Services
The Wrap Fee Program (“Program”) offers individualized portfolio management, asset
allocation, portfolio monitoring, and consolidated reporting. Portfolios are not limited
to any specific product offered by a broker/dealer and will generally include mutual
funds, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), stocks, corporate debt securities, municipal
securities, United States governmental securities and certificates of deposit.
Your portfolio (“account” or “investment account”) and the investment strategies utilized
are determined based upon your specific individual investment objectives, goals and risk
tolerances. We may periodically adjust your account (a process referred to as
“rebalancing”) to help ensure that your investment account remains consistent with your
objectives, goals, and risk tolerances. Automatic rebalancing will only occur in
discretionary accounts. For non-discretionary accounts, we will obtain the client’s prior
approval before entering any rebalancing transaction.
We rely on you to notify us of any changes in your objectives, goals and risk tolerances,
as well as any other material changes in your personal circumstances (such as your
employment, marital status, financial condition, etc.). These changes may prompt
changes in your investment account and the investment strategies employed.
We manage these advisory accounts on either a discretionary (where the client
authorizes us to make specific investment decisions on their behalf) and non-
discretionary basis (where we must obtain the client’s specific prior approval before
each and every transaction can be executed for their investment account).
Whether we are authorized to exercise discretion with respect to the client’s investment
account is the client’s choice. When the client establishes an advisory relationship with
us, we will ask that the client advise us in writing how they would like us to handle their
account.
The scope of the discretionary authority that a client may grant to us is limited to
selecting specific investments for their account and deciding how to allocate their
assets among those investments. We may decide if and when to buy, hold, or sell those
investments. Once a client has granted discretionary authority to us, it is effective until
the client changes it or revokes it in writing.
4 | P a g e
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of
securities, or industry sectors.
The annualized fee for Portfolio Management Services will be charged as a percentage
of assets under management, according to the following schedule:
Assets Managed by Medallion Wealth Advisors
Portfolio value under management
First $500,000
Next $500,000
Next $1,000,000
Above $2,000,000
Annual Fee
1.30%
1.00%
0.95%
0.90%
Medallion Wealth Advisors' annual fee shall be prorated and charged quarterly, in
advance, based upon the market value of the assets on the last day of the previous
quarter. Fees are debited from client accounts, unless the client requests in writing to be
billed and paid separately.
Medallion Wealth Advisors, in its sole discretion, may negotiate to charge a lesser
management fee based upon certain criteria (i.e., anticipated future earning capacity,
anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed, related
accounts, account composition, pre-existing client, account retention, pro bono activities,
etc.).
Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty, for a full refund of MWA’s fees
within five business days of signing the advisory agreement. Thereafter a client
relationship may be cancelled at any time, by either party, for any reason upon receipt of
written notice. A client may receive a refund of a pre-paid fee if the advisory contract is
terminated before the end of the billing period. The refund will be calculated based on the
number of unused days of service.
No transaction fees (“ticket charges”) are assessed for trades in the Program Account,
except for nominal transaction charges that are not controlled by Medallion Wealth
Advisors or the custodian/broker-dealer, such as those that may be imposed by the SEC.
This wrap fee program may cost you more or less than purchasing these services
separately, depending on the amount of trading activity in your account, the value of
services that are provided to you under this program, and other factors. Therefore,
investment advisory representatives may have a financial incentive to recommend the
wrap fee program over other programs or services.
We do not charge our clients higher advisory fees based on their trading activity, but you
should be aware that we may have an incentive to limit our trading activities in your
account(s) because we are charged for executed trades. Generally, wrap programs may
result in higher overall costs to you in accounts that experience little trading activity.
5 | P a g e
Our fees may be higher or lower than the fees charged by other advisers for similar
services.
In addition to our fee, certain additional charges may be assessed. These fees are not
assessed by or paid to MWA, and may include:
internal fees and expenses charged by mutual funds or ETFs;
•
• maintenance and termination fees for IRAs, certain retirement and qualified
accounts; and
• other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions.
All fees paid to us for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees
and expenses charged by mutual funds and/or ETFs to their shareholders. These fees
and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees will generally include
a management fee, other fund expenses, and a possible distribution fee. MWA will not
participate in the sharing of fees charged by the mutual fund.
Management personnel and other investment advisory representatives (“IAR”) of our firm
may also be registered representatives of Osaic Wealth, Inc., a broker-dealer that is a
member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the Securities Investor
Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). MWA is not affiliated with Osaic Wealth, Inc.
If a client chooses to affect securities transactions through an IAR in his/her capacity as
a registered representative of a broker-dealer, the IAR may receive commissions and
other compensation from those transactions. For example, the IAR may receive 12b-1
fees, which are fees paid by mutual fund companies for the on-going marketing of their
investment products.
Management personnel and other IARs of our firm may be licensed as insurance agents
or brokers through various insurance companies that are unaffiliated with MWA. As such,
they may receive commissions from any insurance products the client purchases through
them.
The arrangements described above may present a conflict of interest to the extent that
these individuals recommend that a client invest in a security which results in a
commission being paid to the individuals. We are nonetheless committed to acting in your
best interests at all times.
Clients are not under any obligation to engage these individuals when considering the
implementation of advisory recommendations. The implementation of any or all
recommendations is solely at the discretion of the client.
6 | P a g e
Item 5 Account Requirements and Types of Clients
We provide advisory services to individuals and families, including their trusts, estates,
and retirement accounts. We also provide services to charitable organizations, pension
and profit-sharing plans, corporations or other entities.
MWA does not impose any requirements to open or maintain a Wrap Fee Program
Account.
Item 6 Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation
Your IAR is the sole portfolio manager for your account in this Program. Please refer to
your IAR’s Supplement to this brochure for information about his or her education,
business experience, and disciplinary information.
Your IAR will design and recommend an investment portfolio based on the information
he/she has received from you, as described more fully in Item 4 of this brochure. IARs will
use their own methodologies and strategies to create and manage portfolios. IARs may
also use unaffiliated service providers and/or specialized software to develop asset
allocation models for your account.
You may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain types of securities in your
account.
Your IAR will manage your portfolio on a discretionary basis or non-discretionary basis,
as specified by you in writing. Your IAR will exercise discretion in a manner consistent
with your stated investment objective for your account.
As mentioned above, the fee you pay for participation in the Program may be more than
the costs associated with purchasing the securities outside the Program. This could
create an incentive for the IAR to recommend the Program.
Advisory Services
In addition to asset management, we offer financial planning and investment consulting
services tailored to your needs and objectives. We will recommend and select unaffiliated
third-party asset managers to manage all or a portion of your portfolios. And we also offer
asset management on a non-wrap fee basis. We do not manage wrap fee accounts
differently from how we manage non-wrap accounts.
These services and the associated fees are more fully described in the Medallion Wealth
Advisors, LLC Disclosure Brochure, which is available upon request.
7 | P a g e
Selection of Other Advisers
We may recommend that all or a portion of a client’s portfolio be allocated to unaffiliated
third-party investment managers. We have entered into agreements with various third-
party investment managers to provide investment management services for our clients.
We will use the information the client has provided about their investment objectives,
goals, and risk tolerances, as well as other relevant information to identify a third-party
investment manager(s) whose investment strategies appear appropriate for the client.
Some of the other relevant information considered in recommending a third-party
investment manager include (but are not limited to):
the size and composition of the client’s investment account;
• client preference for certain types of investments or investment strategies;
• client investment time horizon;
•
• client tax considerations;
• our prior experience with and preferences for particular investment managers;
•
•
the fees charged by the investment manager; and
the experience and capabilities of the investment manager.
As noted above, regardless of the services the client chooses, we strongly encourage the
client to notify us if there are any changes in their personal circumstances, financial
situation, investment objectives or risk tolerances.
Types of Investments
Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service
offered by a broker/dealer and will generally include advice regarding the following
securities:
• Exchange listed securities (Equities, exchange traded funds, preferred stock)
• Corporate debt securities
• Municipal debt securities
• United Sates governmental securities
• Certificates of deposit
• Mutual fund shares (Open end and closed end)
Since some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only
be recommended when consistent with the client’s stated investment objectives,
tolerance for risk, liquidity and suitability.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, we were actively managing approximately $491,030,168 of
client assets on a discretionary basis (where we made all of the investment decisions).
Approximately $25,898,979 of client assets were managed on a non-discretionary basis
(where our clients made the investment decisions based upon our recommendations).
8 | P a g e
Performance-Based Fees
We do not charge performance-based fees for any of the services described in this
brochure. Performance-based fees are generally based on a percentage of the capital
gains on and/or appreciation of the client account assets.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss
We use the following methods of analysis in formulating our investment advice and/or
managing client assets:
Mutual Fund and/or ETF Analysis: We look at the experience and track record of the
manager of the mutual fund or ETF in an attempt to determine if that manager has
demonstrated an ability to invest over a period of time and in different economic
conditions. We also look at the underlying assets in a mutual fund or ETF in an attempt
to determine if there is significant overlap in the underlying investments held in another
funds(s) in the client’s portfolio. We also monitor the funds or ETFs in an attempt to
determine if they are continuing to follow their stated investment strategy.
A risk of mutual fund and/or ETF analysis is that, as in all securities investments, past
performance does not guarantee future results. A manager who has been successful may
not be able to replicate that success in the future. In addition, as we do not control the
underlying investments in a fund or ETF, managers of different funds held by the client
may purchase the same security, increasing the risk to the client if that security were to
fall in value. There is also a risk that a manager may deviate from the stated investment
mandate or strategy of the fund or ETF, which could make the holding(s) less suitable for
the client’s portfolio.
As previously noted, we may recommend the use of third-party investment managers to
implement our investment advice. We analyze individual investment managers based
upon their investment strategies, experience, performance track record, reputations, and
fee arrangements.
Risks for all forms of analysis: Our securities analysis methods rely on the assumption
that the companies whose securities we purchase and sell, the rating agencies that review
these securities, and other publicly available sources of information about these
securities, are providing accurate and unbiased data. While we are alert to indications
that data may be incorrect, there is always a risk that our analysis may be compromised
by inaccurate or misleading information.
We use the following strategy in managing client accounts, provided that such strategy is
appropriate to the needs of the client and consistent with the client’s investment
objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizons, among other considerations:
Long-term purchase: We purchase securities with the idea of holding them in the client’s
account for a year or longer. Typically, we employ this strategy when we want exposure
9 | P a g e
to a particular asset class over time, regardless of the current projection of this class.
A risk in a long-term purchase strategy is that by holding the security for this length of
time, we may not take advantage of short-term gains that could be profitable to a client.
A security may decline sharply in value before we make the decision to sell.
Although we manage your account in a manner, we believe is consistent with your specific
investment objectives and risk tolerances, there can be no guarantee that our efforts will
be successful. General economic conditions, current interest rates, the performance of a
particular industry or a particular company, and any number of other factors can affect
investment performance.
You should be prepared to bear the risk of loss. All investments are subject to loss,
including (among other things) loss of principal, a reduction in earnings (including interest,
dividends and other distributions), and the loss of future earnings.
We manage wrap fee accounts and non-wrap fee accounts in the same manner.
Voting Client Securities
We do not vote proxies except in limited cases; however, you always have the right to vote
proxies yourself. You may request our firm to vote your proxy for your account. You can
exercise this right by instructing us in writing to not vote proxies in your account.
We will vote proxies in the best interests of our clients and in accordance with our
established policies and procedures. Our firm will retain all proxy voting books and records
for the requisite period of time, including a copy of each proxy statement received, a record
of each vote cast, a copy of any document created by us that was material to making a
decision how to vote proxies, and a copy of each written client request for information on
how the adviser voted proxies. If our firm has a conflict of interest in voting a particular
action, we will notify the client of the conflict and retain an independent third- party to cast
a vote. Clients may obtain a copy of our complete proxy voting policies and procedures by
contacting us by telephone, email, or in writing.
Clients may request, in writing, information on how proxies for his/her shares were voted.
If any client requests a copy of our complete proxy policies and procedures or how we
voted proxies for his/her account(s), we will promptly provide such information to the
client.
We will neither advise nor act on behalf of the client in legal proceedings involving
companies whose securities are held in the client’s account(s), including, but not limited
to, the filing of “Proofs of Claim” in class action settlements. If desired, clients may direct
us to transmit copies of class action notices to the client or a third party. Upon such
direction, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to forward such notices in a timely
manner.
With respect to ERISA accounts, we will vote proxies for our advisory clients. To direct us
to vote a proxy in a particular manner, clients should contact us by telephone, email,
10 | P a g e
or in writing. You can instruct us to vote proxies according to particular criteria (for
example, to always vote with management, or to vote for or against a proposal to allow a
so-called “poison pill” defense against a possible takeover). These requests must be
made in writing. You can also instruct us on how to cast your vote in a particular proxy
contest by contacting us.

Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
As previously noted, certain of our IARs may be registered representatives of broker-
dealers unaffiliated with us. They may be licensed to sell insurance products through
various insurance companies that are unaffiliated with us. Clients are not obligated to utilize
the services of the IAR in the purchase or sale of securities or insurance products through
their association with a broker-dealer, insurance company or Introducing Broker.
However, any transactions a client may affect through the IAR in conjunction with those
relationships may result in the receipt of commissions and other compensation in addition
to any advisory fees that we charge.
Information about the IAR’s financial industry activities and affiliations is disclosed in the
IAR’s supplement which the client will receive with this brochure. Additional information
about the IAR is also available at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.
Code of Ethics; Participation or Interests in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
Our firm has adopted a Code of Ethics which sets forth high ethical standards of business
conduct that we require of our employees, including compliance with applicable federal
laws. The Code includes our policies and procedures developed to protect client interests
in relation to the following:
•
•
•
•
•
the duty at all times to place client interests ahead of ours;
that all personal securities transactions of our IARs and employees be conducted
in a manner consistent with the Code and avoid any actual or potential conflict of
interest, or any abuse of an IAR’s or employee’s position of trust and responsibility;
that IARs may not take inappropriate advantage of their positions;
that information concerning the identity of client security holdings and financial
circumstances are confidential; and
that independence in the investment decision-making process is paramount.
We will provide a copy of our Code of Ethics to advisory clients and prospective clients
upon request. You may request a copy by calling 860-967-3032.
We do not buy or sell securities for our own account that we also recommend to clients.
Our IARs and employees are permitted to buy or sell the same securities for their personal
and family accounts that are bought or sold for client account.
The personal securities transactions of our IARs and employees may raise potential
conflicts of interest when they trade in a security that is owned by clients or is being
considered for purchase or sale for a client account.
We have adopted policies and procedures that are intended to address these conflicts of
interest. These policies and procedures:
•
require our IARs and employees to act in the client’s best interest,
12 | P a g e
• prohibit favoring one client over another, and
• provide for the review of transactions to discover and correct any trade in an
IAR’s or employee’s account that is affected in a manner inconsistent with our
Code.
Our IARs and employees must follow our procedures when purchasing or selling the
same securities purchased or sold for a client’s account.
All Associated Persons of the Firm must comply with applicable federal securities laws. It
is unlawful for the Firm and any Associated Person, by use of the mail or any means or
instrumentality of interstate commerce, directly or indirectly:
• To employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud any client or prospective client
of the Firm;
• To engage in any transaction, practice, or course of business which operates or
would operate as a fraud or deceit upon any client or prospective client of the Firm;
or
• To engage in any fraudulent, deceptive, or manipulative practice.
•
In addition, the Firm and its Associated Persons must comply with all applicable federal
securities laws, which shall generally be explained in the Firm’s Compliance Manual.
Associated Persons must report any violations of the Code of Ethics to the Firm’s Chief
Compliance Officer.
Review of Accounts
While the underlying securities within Individual Portfolio Management Services accounts
are continually monitored, these accounts are reviewed quarterly. Accounts are reviewed
in the context of each client’s stated investment objectives and guidelines. More frequent
reviews may be triggered by material changes in variables such as the client’s individual
circumstances, or the market, political or economic environment.
These accounts are reviewed by:
E. Thorson Cheyne – President, Investment Advisor Representative
Matthew Woods Weber, CFP® - Investment Advisor Representative
In addition to the monthly statements and confirmations of transactions that clients receive
from their custodian, Medallion Wealth Advisors will provide quarterly reports summarizing
account performance, balances and holdings.
