Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Palumbo Wealth Management, LLC (“PWM” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). PWM is organized as a Limited Liability Company under the laws
of New York. PWM was founded in November 2019 and became a registered investment advisor in January 2020.
PWM is owned by Philip G. Palumbo, CFP® (CEO, Founder, and Chief Investment Officer).
This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory
services provided by PWM. For information regarding this Disclosure Brochure, please contact Killana Williams
(Chief Compliance Officer) at (516) 629-7536.
B. Advisory Services Offered
PWM offers investment advisory services to high-net-worth individuals, families, trusts, estates, businesses, and
retirement plans (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 toward each Client and seeks to mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. PWM’s fiduciary commitment is further described 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
PWM provides wealth management services for its Clients. These services generally include discretionary
investment management services in connection with a broad range of financial planning services. These services
are described below.
Investment Management Services – PWM offers investment management services either as a component of
wealth management or pursuant to a standalone investment management agreement. PWM provides customized
investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal Client contact and
interaction while providing discretionary investment management and related advisory services. PWM works with
each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation to create an
investment strategy. PWM will then design an investment strategy that may include the Advisor’s internal
investment management and/or the use of independent managers and/or internal investment management.
PWM will construct Client portfolios utilizing mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds,
individual equities, and individual bonds. The Advisor may also utilize options, private investments, and other
types of investments, as appropriate, to meet certain clients' needs. 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.
PWM will select, recommend and/or retain mutual funds on a fund-by-fund basis. Due to specific custodial and/or
mutual fund company constraints, material tax considerations, and/or systematic investment plans, PWM will
select, recommend and/or retain a mutual fund share class that does not have trading costs but does have a
higher internal expense ratio than institutional share classes. PWM will seek to select the lowest cost share class
available in the best interest of each Client and ensure the selection aligns with the Client’s financial objectives
and stated investment guidelines.
PWM’s investment approach is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell, or re-allocate
investments held for less than one year to meet the Client's objectives or due to market conditions. PWM will
construct, implement, and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the Client’s 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.
PWM evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. PWM may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the

www.palumbowm.com
portfolio. PWM 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. PWM 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, changes in risk tolerance of Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed
unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
Use of Independent Managers – PWM may recommend that a Client utilize 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. The Advisor will assist in the development of
investment policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. The Advisor will perform initial
and ongoing oversight and due diligence over the selected Independent Manager[s] to ensure the Independent
Managers’ strategies and target allocations remain aligned with the Clients’ investment objectives and overall best
interests. The Client will be provided with the Independent Manager's Form ADV 2A (or a brochure that makes
the appropriate disclosures).
At no time will PWM accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited authority
as detailed in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within their designated account [s] pursuant
to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Participant Account Management – As part of the Advisor’s Investment Management Services, when appropriate,
the Advisor will use a third-party platform, Pontera Solutions, Inc. (“Pontera”), to facilitate management of held
away assets such as defined contribution plan participant accounts, with investment discretion. The platform
enables the Advisor to gain access to Client account without having access through the Client’s credentials. This
independent advisor access ensures that the Advisor will not have custody of Client funds or securities when
implementing trades for the Client. The Advisor is not affiliated with the platform in any way and receives no
compensation from the platform. A link will be provided to the Client allowing them to connect their account[s] to
the platform for the Advisor’s secure access.
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 the 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 earns a new (or
increases 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 – PWM will typically provide a variety of financial planning services to Clients.
Services may be provided as part of an overall wealth management engagement or pursuant to a separate written
financial planning agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on
their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services will involve preparing a financial plan or
rendering a 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,
estate planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance needs, and 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. PWM 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. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may not provide a written summary.

Phone: (516) 629-7073 | Fax: (516) 829-0731
Page 5
www.palumbowm.com
Plans or consultations are typically completed within six months of the contract date, assuming all information and
documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose 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.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
PWM 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 Oversight Service (ERISA 3(21))
Investment Management Services (ERISA 3(38))
•
•
• Performance Reporting
• Ongoing Investment Recommendations and Assistance
• ERISA 404(c) Assistance
These services are provided by PWM serving in the capacity of 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 PWM’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 PWM to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or more
advisory agreements 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 – PWM, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that
seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – PWM will develop a strategic asset allocation targeted to meet the investment
objectives, time horizon, financial situation, and tolerance for risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – PWM will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated
goals and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – PWM will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
PWM does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are
provided directly by PWM.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, PWM manages $542,198,478 in Client assets, all of which are 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 shall sign one or more agreements that detail the responsibilities of PWM and the Client.

A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services / Investment Management Services
Wealth management and investment management (herein “Advisory”) fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each
calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the Advisory agreement. Advisory fees are based on the market value of
assets under management at the end of the prior quarter. Advisory fees range from 0.15% to 1.75% annually based
on several factors, including, but not limited to: the services offered to the Client, the complexity of the services to be
provided, the level of Client assets managed by the Advisor, and/or the overall relationship with the Advisor. Advisory
fees for Clients selecting standalone investment management may be discounted compared to the fees charged for
wealth management services. The complexity of the Client relationship and the Client’s overall needs will determine
the investment management fee rate determined by the Advisor.
The Advisory 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 Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by PWM will be
independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuation to
ensure accurate billing.
Clients may make additions to and withdrawals from their account[s] at any time, subject to PWM’s right to terminate
an account. Additions may be in cash or securities provided that PWM reserves the right to liquidate any transferred
securities or decline to accept particular securities into a Client’s account[s]. Clients may withdraw account assets
on notice to PWM, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. However, PWM designs its
portfolios as long-term investments, and the withdrawal of assets may impair the achievement of a Client’s
investment objectives. PWM may consult with its Clients about the options and ramifications of transferring securities.
However, Clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated, they are subject to transaction fees,
fees assessed at the mutual fund level (i.e., contingent deferred sales charge), and/or tax ramifications.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees and other
related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C. below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor
shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
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 Advisory fee as described above. The Advisor will allocate a
portion of the Advisory fee collected to the Independent Manager pursuant to the terms of the executed agreement
between the Advisor and the Independent Manager. The total blended fee, including the Advisor’s fee and the
Independent Manager’s fee, will not exceed 2.00% annually.
Financial Planning Services
PWM will typically include financial planning services in an overall wealth management engagement. For clients
who choose to contract for these services separately, the Advisor offers its services as a separate fixed project fee
ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. The Advisor’s fee is based on the complexity of the services to be provided and the
overall relationship with the Advisor. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. An estimate for
total costs will be provided to the Client prior to engaging in these services.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual asset-based fee ranging from 0.30% to 1.00% and
are billed quarterly in advance, pursuant to the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement. Retirement plan
fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of the prior quarter. Fees may be
negotiable depending on the size and complexity of the Plan.
B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management Services / Investment Management Services
Advisory fees will be 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 fees to be deducted from the Client’s
account[s] at the respective quarter-end date. The amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual
rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management with PWM at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be

Phone: (516) 629-7073 | Fax: (516) 829-0731

www.palumbowm.com
provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting the Advisory fee deduction. 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 PWM to be paid directly from their accounts held by the Custodian as part of the 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 PWM’s
Advisory 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].
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning engagements may require an advance payment of fees up to 50% of the expected total cost of
the engagement. Upon completion of the engagement deliverable[s], the remaining balance of the engagement fees
shall be invoiced by the Advisor and are due upon receipt of the invoice. The Advisor does not collect advance fees
of $1,200 or more for any services that will be completed six (6) months or more in the future.
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 other than PWM in connection with investments
made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all securities execution and custody fees
charged by the Custodian, if applicable. 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 Custodian’s brokerage requirements. However, the Custodian typically charges for mutual
funds and other types of investments. The fees charged by PWM are separate and distinct from these custody
and execution fees.
As mentioned in Item 4.B. above, the Client may be invested into share classes of a mutual fund that have a
higher expense ratio than a different share class, including but not limited to 12b-1 fees. This may result in Clients
paying higher expense ratio[s]. For a complete discussion of expenses related to each mutual fund, please read
a copy of the prospectus issued by that particular fund.
In addition, all fees paid to PWM 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 PWM, but would not
receive the services provided by PWM, 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 PWM to fully understand the total
fees to be paid. Additionally, as noted above, the Advisor will select share classes that do not have trading costs but
have higher internal expense ratios than institutional share classes. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
for additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Wealth Management Services / Investment Management Services
PWM is compensated for its Advisory services in advance of the quarter in which services are rendered. Either party
may request to terminate the Advisory agreement with PWM, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the
other party. The Client shall be responsible for Advisory fees up to and including the effective date of termination.
Upon termination, the Advisor will promptly refund any unearned, prepaid Advisory fees. The Client’s Advisory
agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.

Phone: (516) 629-7073 | Fax: (516) 829-0731
Page 8
www.palumbowm.com
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,
the Advisor will have the discretion to terminate the relationship with the Independent Manager. The terms for
termination are set forth in the respective agreements between the Advisor and the Independent Managers.
Financial Planning Services
PWM requires an advance deposit as described above. Either party may terminate the financial planning agreement,
at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the financial
planning 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. Upon termination, the Client shall be responsible for planning
fees based on the percentage of the engagement deliverables completed. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund
any unearned, prepaid fees from the effective date of termination. The Client’s financial planning agreement with the
Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
PWM is compensated for its retirement plan advisory services at the beginning of the quarter before services are
rendered. Either party may request to terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by providing
advance written notice to the other party. The Client shall be responsible for retirement plan advisory fees up to
and including the effective date of termination. The Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid retirement plan
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 prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
PWM does not buy or sell securities to earn securities transaction fees and does not receive any compensation
for securities transactions in any Client account other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Broker-Dealer Affiliations
Certain Advisory Persons are also registered representatives of Private Client Services, LLC (“PCS”). PCS is a
registered broker-dealer (CRD No. 120222) member FINRA/SIPC. In one’s separate capacity as a registered
representative of PCS, the Advisory Person will implement securities transactions under PCS and not through
PWM. In such instances, the Advisory Person will receive commission-based compensation in connection with
the purchase and sale of securities, including 12b-1 fees for the sale of investment company products.
Compensation earned by the Advisory Person in one’s capacity as a registered representative is separate and in
addition to the Advisor’s fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because the Advisory Person, who is a
registered representative, has an incentive to effect securities transactions for the purpose of generating
commissions rather than solely based on the Client. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendation
provided by the Advisor or Advisory Persons. Neither the Advisor nor Advisory Persons will earn ongoing
investment advisory fees in connection with any products or services implemented in the Advisory Person’s
separate capacity as a registered representative. Please see Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and
Affiliations.
Insurance Agency Affiliations
Certain Advisory Persons are also licensed as independent insurance professionals. As an independent insurance
professional, an Advisory Person will earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products,
including insurance products they sell to Clients. Insurance commissions earned by the Advisory Person are
separate and in addition to the advisory fees charged by PWM. This practice presents a conflict of interest because
the Advisory Person providing investment advice on behalf of the Advisor, who is also an insurance agent, has
an incentive to recommend insurance products to the Client for the purpose of generating commissions rather
than solely based on the Client’s needs. However, the Client is under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to
purchase insurance products through any Advisory Person affiliated with the Advisor. Please see Item 10 – Other
Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations.

Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
PWM does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by PWM
are described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held by
any Client. PWM 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
PWM provides investment advisory services to high-net-worth individuals, families, trusts, estates, businesses,
and retirement plans. These amounts may change over time and are updated at least annually by the Advisor.
PWM requires a minimum relationship size of $500,000, which may be reduced at the Advisor’s sole discretion.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
PWM employs fundamental and technical analysis methods in developing investment strategies for its Clients.
Research and analysis from PWM are derived from numerous sources, including financial media companies,
third-party research materials, Internet sources, and reviews 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. These criteria
are generally ratios and trends that may indicate the entity's overall strength and financial viability 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 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 predict such future trends. Even if the
trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that PWM will accurately predict such a reoccurrence.
As noted above, PWM generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their
financial goals. PWM will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year but may hold for shorter
periods to rebalance a portfolio or meet the cash needs of Clients. At times, PWM 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. PWM 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
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 in a Client’s
account[s]. 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 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 ETFs – Bond ETFs 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 increases 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. Options 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.
Alternative Investments (Limited Partnerships) – The performance of alternative investments (limited partnerships)
can be volatile and may have limited liquidity. An investor could lose all or a portion of their investment. Such
investments often have concentrated positions and investments that may carry higher risks. The Client should
only have a portion of their assets in these investments.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing in the Client’s
accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio
construction process. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and
other investments involves 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 PWM or its owner. PWM 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# 306548.

Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Broker-Dealer Affiliations
As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are also registered representatives of PCS. PCS is a registered
broker-dealer and member of FINRA/SIPC. In one’s separate capacity as a registered representative, the Advisory
Person will receive commissions for the implementation of recommendations for commissionable transactions.
Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendation provided by the Advisory Person. Neither the Advisor
nor the Advisory Person will earn ongoing investment advisory fees in connection with any services implemented
in the Advisory Person’s separate capacity as a registered representative.
Insurance Agency Affiliations
As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are also licensed, insurance professionals. Implementations of
insurance recommendations are separate and apart from one’s role with PWM. As an insurance professional, an
Advisory Person will receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the various insurance
companies whose products are sold. The Advisory Person is not required to offer the products of any particular
insurance company. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset regular advisory fees. This practice
presents a conflict of interest in recommending certain products of insurance companies. Clients are under no
obligation to implement any recommendations made by the Advisory Person or the Advisor.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions, and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
PWM has implemented a Code of Ethics that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to each Client. This
Code of Ethics applies to all persons associated with PWM (“Supervised Persons”). The Code of Ethics was
developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to the
Client. PWM and its personnel owe a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith toward each Client. It is the obligation
of PWM 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 of Ethics covers a range of topics that address employee ethics and
conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code of Ethics, please contact the Advisor at (516) 629-7536.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
PWM allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. PWM 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. PWM does not have a material interest
in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
PWM 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 recommended (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 a Code of Ethics which addresses insider trading (material,
nonpublic information controls) and personal securities reporting procedures. When trading for personal accounts,
Supervised Persons of PWM 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, nonpublic information. This risk is mitigated by PWM requiring
reporting of personal securities trades by its employees 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, nonpublic
information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While PWM 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 traded afterward. At no
time will PWM transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.

Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
PWM 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 PWM to direct trades to this Custodian as agreed in the investment advisory agreement. Further,
PWM does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade
basis.
Where PWM does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the Custodian
to Clients for custody and execution services. PWM may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as,
but not limited to, the reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client,
and its overall reputation. 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 PWM. However, if the
recommended Custodian is not engaged, PWM may be limited in the services it can provide.
PWM will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Pershing Advisor Solutions, a division of
Pershing, LLC (“Pershing”) or at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab). Pershing and Schwab (each a
“Custodian” and collectively the “Custodians”) are FINRA-registered broker-dealers and members of SIPC and
serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian.” PWM maintains an institutional relationship with the Custodians,
whereby the Advisor receives certain economic benefits. 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 the broker-dealer/custodian in exchange
for research and other services. PWM does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or
offered by any broker-dealer. However, the Advisor does receive certain economic benefits from
the Custodians. Please see Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals – PWM does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with
the recommendation for establishing a brokerage account.
3. Directed Brokerage – All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis” where PWM 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]).
In selecting the Custodian, PWM will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions
and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. The designated Custodian
determines these costs.
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 broker. PWM will execute its transactions through an unaffiliated
broker-dealer selected by the Client.
PWM may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the custodian
for multiple (discretionary) accounts. 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 particular Clients’ accounts.

Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Advisory Persons and
periodically by the CCO. 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 or less 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 PWM 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 to 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 PWM
Participation in the Institutional Advisor Platform (Pershing)
PWM has established an institutional relationship with Pershing to assist the Advisor in managing Client account[s].
Access to the Pershing platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor. The Advisor receives access to software
and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that
maintain assets at Pershing. The software and related systems support may benefit the Advisor but not its Clients
directly. The Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first in fulfilling its duties to its Clients.
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.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform (Schwab)
PWM has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a
division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like PWM. As a registered investment advisor
participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, PWM 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,
Palumbo Wealth Management, LLC

Phone: (516) 629-7073 | Fax: (516) 829-0731
Page 14
www.palumbowm.com
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 to PWM 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. PWM believes, however, that the selection of Schwab
as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
Certain Clients may be referred to the Advisor by either an affiliated or unaffiliated party (herein "Promoter") and
receive, directly or indirectly, compensation for the Client referral. In such instances, the Advisor will compensate
the Promoter a fee in accordance with Rule 206(4)-1 of the Advisers Act and any corresponding state securities
requirements. Any such compensation shall be paid solely from the investment advisory fees earned by the
Advisor, and shall not result in any additional charge to the Client.
Item 15 – Custody
PWM does not accept or maintain custody of Client accounts, except for the limited circumstances outlined below:
Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction
of advisory fees, all Clients for whom PWM exercises discretionary authority must hold their assets with a "qualified
custodian." Clients are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to safeguard their funds and securities
and must instruct PWM to utilize that Custodian for securities transactions on their behalf. Clients are encouraged
to review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any reports provided by PWM to ensure accuracy,
as the Custodian does not perform this review.
Money Movement Authorization - For instances where Clients authorize PWM to move funds between their
accounts, PWM and the Custodian have implemented safeguards to ensure that all money movement activities
are conducted strictly in accordance with the Client’s documented instructions.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
PWM 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 PWM.
The 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 an investment advisory agreement containing all applicable limitations
to such authority. All discretionary trades made by PWM will be in accordance with each Client's investment
objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
PWM 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 PWM nor its management has any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability of
PWM to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither PWM nor any of its Advisory Persons have been subject to a
bankruptcy or financial compromise. PWM is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure
Brochure as the Advisor does not collect fees of $1,200 or more for services to be performed six months or more
in advance.
