4. Advisory Business
Physician Family was founded in 1998. Our mission is to help physician families move toward financial
security. Physician Family offers three services. Financial Planning is advice about how to reach a financial
goal or address a financial issue. Investment Guidance is advice about specific securities to buy, sell or hold
in an account you maintain, monitor and manage yourself. Account Management is choosing and
transacting securities, at our sole discretion without your prior approval, in any account over which we are
authorized by you or for which you have granted full power and authority to carry out our decisions by
giving instructions, on your behalf, to a broker, dealer, sub-advisor or custodian for your account, subject
to your investment objective and risk tolerance. To engage the services of a sub-advisor, you must enter
into a separate agreement directly with them and open an account with them.
Physician Family is a fiduciary under applicable portions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act,
the Internal Revenue Code and other laws. We must give prudent investment advice by meeting a
professional standard of care; give loyal advice by always putting your interest ahead of ours; avoid false
or misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments; follow policies and procedures
designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest; charge a level fee that is reasonable
for our services; and disclose potential conflicts of interest.
As of December 31, 2025, we managed accounts totalling $283 million on a discretionary basis. We
generally recommend passively-managed or “index” mutual funds and Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”).
Accounts we manage are monitored at least annually. You are solely responsible for monitoring accounts
not managed by us. We do not have an account minimum but we reserve the right to refuse to manage any
account. While you may make requests about the way we should manage your investments, we reserve
the right to deny any request we believe to be inappropriate for you.
5. Fees & Compensation
Physician Family charges a monthly membership fee and may charge a one-time fee for the preparation
of a financial plan. For current pricing, visit https://www.physicianfamily.com.
One-time fees for the preparation of a financial plan may be charged in advance and collected via card
charge or via ACH from your bank account. Membership fees will be charged at the beginning of each
monthly service period via ACH from your bank account, will renew monthly and are nonrefundable.
We may change the membership fee we charge you by giving you fourteen days prior written notice.
You may cancel our agreement by giving us fourteen days prior written notice.
If you are not completely satisfied, we will refund 100% of the fee you paid for a project-based
engagement. For ongoing engagements, we will waive the next month's fee. In either case, you must notify
us verbally or in writing with your request for a refund or waiver.
You are responsible for verifying the accuracy of the fee charged. Fees may be waived or reduced at our
discretion. Engagements begun before the date of this disclosure may have different terms.
Physician Family may recommend the investment sub-advisory services of MTG, LLC dba Betterment
Securities (“Betterment”), You will pay nothing to Betterment for these services because Physician
Family covers these costs as part of your membership fee. The cost of these services will be paid by us
directly to Betterment. We may recommend the brokerage services of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
(“Schwab”) and Altruist Financial, LLC (Altruist), where you are solely responsible for the cost of these
services. For Schwab’s pricing, visit https://www.schwab.com/pricing. For Altruist’s pricing, visit
https://altruist.com/legal/.
You may also bear other costs including but not limited to mutual fund expenses, transaction costs and
taxes. Physician Family is not responsible for and does not receive any of these.
6. Performance-Based Fees
Physician Family does not charge fees based on the performance of your account.
7. Types of Clients
Physician Family serves individuals and a few employer-sponsored retirement plans.
8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Our general approach to investment strategy is:
• Diversified: we recommend buying open-end mutual funds and ETFs;
• Passive: we recommend index funds when available;
• Balanced: we advise most clients to own both stock funds and bond funds;
• Fully-invested: we invest cash when we receive it and do not time the markets; and
• Tax-aware: we consider taxes when selecting securities and proactively harvest tax losses in accounts
sub-advised by Betterment. Tax losses are harvested in Schwab and Altruist accounts upon request.
We rely on publicly-available information to analyze investments. For clients with short term goals, we
generally recommend short term bond funds, bank deposits or cash equivalents. For clients with long term
goals, we generally recommend mutual funds and ETFs which pose market risk and macroeconomic risk.
All investments include a risk of loss. We cannot guarantee any level of investment performance or that
you will not experience financial loss. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investing in
securities involves risk of loss that you should be prepared to bear.
9. Disciplinary Information
We have no legal, financial or other disciplinary items to disclose.
10. Other Financial Industry Activities & Affiliations
As part of our financial planning service, Physician Family may offer insurance advice which requires our
company to be licensed as an insurance agency. We do not sell insurance or receive insurance
commissions.
11. Code of Ethics, Participation in Client Transactions & Personal Trading
Physician Family has adopted a Code of Ethics which sets forth ethical standards of business conduct that
we require of our principals and employees, including compliance with applicable state and federal
securities laws. Physician Family also adheres to the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Code
of Ethics for financial planning practitioners. Our Code of Ethics includes policies and procedures for the
review of quarterly securities transactions reports that must be submitted by the firm’s access persons.
Among other things, our Code of Ethics also requires the prior approval of any acquisition of securities in a
limited offering (e.g., private placement) or an initial public offering. Our code provides for oversight,
enforcement and recordkeeping provisions. A copy of our Code of Ethics is available to you upon request.
Our firm and our employees may buy or sell the same securities for our own account that we buy or sell
for you. This practice results in a potential conflict of interest, as we may have an incentive to manipulate
the timing of such purchases, to the extent it is possible, to obtain a better price or more favorable
allocation in rare cases of limited availability. Since we mostly transact in mutual funds and ETFs, such
cases of limited availability are not expected to occur. However, in cases where this might otherwise
disadvantage you, we will buy or sell first for you then for ourselves.
12. Brokerage Practices
Physician Family is not a brokerage so we will recommend a brokerage after considering their services,
pricing, financial condition and ability to execute trades in a timely and cost-competitive manner. When
giving Investment Guidance, we primarily recommend The Vanguard Group and Fidelity Investments.
When rendering Account Management, we recommend Schwab and Altruist for accounts we manage and
Betterment for sub-advised accounts. To learn more about Schwab, visit
www.schwab.com/transparency/best-interest. To learn more about Altruist, visit
https://altruist.com/legal/. To learn more about Betterment, visit www.betterment.com/legal.
We may recommend other brokerages based on these same criteria. You are not obligated to use any
brokerage we recommend. We do not accept compensation from brokerage firms.
13. Review of Accounts
If you receive Investment Guidance, we will review your accounts at your request. If you receive Account
Management, we will review your accounts annually or more often if you tell us about a substantial
change in your goals, tax situation, financial condition, time horizon, investment objective or risk
tolerance. Reviews are conducted by employees who are licensed to provide investment advice and
overseen by our Chief Compliance Officer. Account Management clients will receive statements at least
quarterly from their account custodians.
14A. Client Referrals & Other Compensation
Physician Family will not accept money for referring you to vendors or other service providers. We
receive a free, non-economic benefit from Schwab and Altruist in the form of the support they provide us
in our efforts to serve you. This benefit does not depend on any specific securities recommendation. This
arrangement may create a conflict of interest as it incentivises Physician Family to choose these
custodians over others.
14B. Compensation to Non-Advisory Personnel for Client Referrals
Physician Family uses professional organizations to promote our advisory services and may provide
referrals if certain criteria are met, investors can review the online information regarding our firm and find
an advisor that matches certain criteria important to the investor. We pay those organizations to be listed
on their website as an investment advisor.
15. Custody
Physician Family will not take physical possession of your assets for any purpose other than to deduct
advisory fees directly from your bank account.
16. Investment Discretion
When offering Investment Guidance, we will make specific investment recommendations that you can
implement on your own and you are not obligated to follow our advice. In order to receive Account
Management, you must grant us limited power of attorney over your account or authorize us to act on
your behalf, in which case we will buy or sell securities in your account at our sole discretion without your
prior approval of each trade. You may impose reasonable limitations on this discretionary authority by
notifying us in writing. For accounts sub-advised by Betterment, we will select an investment strategy
that, in our sole discretion, is appropriate for you and we will direct them to implement that strategy on
your behalf.
17. Voting Client Securities
Physician Family will not receive proxies for your securities or offer advice about proxy voting.
18. Financial Information
Physician Family has no financial issues that could impair our ability to carry out our fiduciary duty to you.
Under no circumstances will we earn fees in excess of $1,200 more than six months in advance of services
rendered.
Privacy Notice
Physician Family limits employee and agent access to information to those who have a business or
professional need to know, and only to nonaffiliated parties as permitted by law. We may use your
information to provide services to you and to market our services to you. We maintain a secure business
environment to ensure that information is not placed at unreasonable risk. The categories of nonpublic
personal information we collect depends on the scope of the engagement. It can include information
about your personal finances or information about transactions between you and third parties. We use an
Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) note taking software during our video calls which captures all spoken
communications. You may “opt-out” of the use of such software at the beginning of every call. For
unaffiliated third parties that require access to personal information (including financial service
companies, subcontractors, consultants, and auditors) we require confidentiality in dealings with them
and expect them to keep this information private. Our records are subject to examination by federal and
state regulators. We maintain your information during your engagement and after for a time as required
by law. Federal law allows you the right to limit the sharing of your NPI by “opting-out” of the following:
sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes – information about your creditworthiness; or sharing
with affiliates or non-affiliates who use your information to market to you. State laws and individual
companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing. Please notify us immediately if you choose to
opt out of these types of sharing.
