consideration basic factors such as company earnings, balance sheet variables and management quality
which are used to predict the future value of an investment.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary
events that would be material to your evaluation of MFG Wealth Management, Inc. or the integrity of MFG
Wealth Management, Inc.’s management personnel. MFG Wealth Management, Inc. has no information
applicable to this Item.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Michael McCracken is engaged in professions other than providing financial planning and investment advice.
He sells insurance products for sales commissions. That profession takes up a small portion of his work
weeks.
3
Michael McCracken is licensed to sell, for sales commissions, insurance products through American General
Life Insurance Company, among others.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics
MFG Wealth Management, Inc. has adopted a Code of Ethics for all supervised persons of the firm
describing its high standard of business conduct, and fiduciary duty to its clients. The Code of Ethics includes
provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information, a prohibition on insider trading, a prohibition
of rumor mongering, restrictions on the acceptance of significant gifts, and personal securities trading
procedures, among other things. All supervised persons at MFG Wealth Management, Inc. must
acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or as amended.
On occasion, Michael McCracken, Jeffrey Gardner and Terri Kontney may buy or sell securities that they
recommend to clients. There is no conflict of interest as the securities are widely held and publicly traded and
they are too small advisors/investors to affect the market. In addition, they always place clients’ interests
before their own interests.
MFG Wealth Management, Inc. anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’
investment objectives, it will cause accounts over which the adviser has management authority to effect the
purchase or sale of securities in which the adviser and/or clients, directly or indirectly, have a position of
interest. MFG Wealth Management, Inc.’s employees and persons associated with the adviser are required
to follow the adviser’s Code of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers and
employees of MFG Wealth Management, Inc. may trade for their own accounts in securities which are
recommended to and/or purchased for the adviser’s clients. The Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the
personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees of MFG Wealth Management, Inc.
will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii) implementing such
decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. Under the Code
certain classes of securities have been designated as exempt transactions, based upon a determination that
these would materially not interfere with the best interest of MFG Wealth Management, Inc.’s clients. In
addition, the Code requires pre-clearance of many transactions, and restricts trading in close proximity to
client trading activity. Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some circumstances would permit
employees to invest in the same securities as clients, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from
market activity by a client in a security held by an employee. Employee trading is continually monitored
under the Code of Ethics, and to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between MFG Wealth Management,
Inc. and its clients.
MFG Wealth Management, Inc.’s clients or prospective clients may request a copy of the firm's Code of
Ethics by contacting Terri Kontney.
It is MFG Wealth Management, Inc.’s policy that the firm will not affect any principal or agency cross
securities transactions for client accounts. MFG Wealth Management, Inc. will also not cross trades between
client accounts. Principal transactions are generally defined as transactions where an adviser, acting as
principal for its own account or the account of an affiliated broker-dealer, buys from or sells any security to
4
any advisory client. A principal transaction may also be deemed to have occurred if a security is crossed
between an affiliated hedge fund and another client account. An agency cross transaction is defined as a
transaction where a person acts as an investment adviser in relation to a transaction in which the investment
adviser, or any person controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser, acts as broker for
both the advisory client and for another person on the other side of the transaction. Agency cross
transactions may arise where an adviser is dually registered as a broker-dealer or has an affiliated broker-
dealer.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
MFG Wealth Management, Inc. has 2 types of clients--fee and commission. For fee clients: If clients want
MFG Wealth Management, Inc. to recommend a broker, they will get a recommendation based on the
broker's costs, skills, reputation, dependability and compatibility with the client, and not upon a financial
arrangement between MFG Wealth Management, Inc. and the recommended broker.
MFG Wealth Management, Inc. has selected Schwab as the primary custodian for our clients’ accounts.
Schwab Advisor Services, which includes the custody, trading and support services of Charles Schwab & Co.,
Inc. (“Schwab”), is the leading provider of those services to independent investment advisors.
Schwab Advisor Services serves independent investment advisory firms like ours and includes the custody,
trading and support services of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. By using Schwab as primary custodian, MFG
Wealth Management, Inc. has access to a wide range of products and services that help us serve our clients,

Item 13 – Review of Accounts

review process. Commissionable accounts and financial planning accounts are reviewed at the clients’
request.
Michael McCracken, Jeffrey Gardner and Terri Kontney review client accounts as a team. They review client
accounts on a portfolio analysis basis.

broker-dealers, mutual fund and other money managers, as appropriate.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
MFG Wealth Management, Inc. does not compensate anyone, either directly or indirectly for client referrals.
As previously discussed under Item 10, Michael McCracken sells insurance products for sales commissions.
Item 15 – Custody
Clients should receive at least quarterly statements from the broker, custodian, bank or other qualified
custodian that holds and maintains client’s investment assets. MFG Wealth Management, Inc. urges you to
carefully review such statements and compare such official custodial records to the account statements that
we may provide to you. Our statements may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures,
reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
MFG Wealth Management, Inc. manages client accounts on a discretionary basis. It limits its discretionary
authority by prohibiting itself and Michael McCracken, Jeffrey Gardner and Terri Kontney from withdrawing
funds and/or securities from client accounts. In addition, discretionary transactions are limited to general
securities, mutual funds, and options.
MFG Wealth Management, Inc. usually receives discretionary authority from the client at the outset of an
advisory relationship to select the identity and the amount of securities to be bought or sold. In all cases,
however, such discretion is to be exercised in a manner consistent with the stated investment objectives for
the particular client account.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities/Class Action Litigation
As a matter of firm policy and practice, MFG Wealth Management, Inc. does not have any authority to and
does not vote proxies on behalf of advisory clients. Clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting
proxies for any and all securities maintained in client portfolios. MFG Wealth Management, Inc. may
provide information to clients regarding the clients’ voting of proxies.
In addition, MFG Wealth Management, Inc. does not evaluate eligibility or submit claims to participate in
the proceeds of a securities class action settlement or verdict affecting securities owned by an advisory client.
