Item 4 – Advisory Business
Asset Management and Financial Planning Services
Redwood Grove Wealth Management LLC was founded in 2009 and is majority owned by
Tanya K. Steinhofer. RGWM offers two types of services – asset management and
comprehensive financial planning.
RGWM is not affiliated with any other financial services firm and does not accept
commissions, rebates, or referral fees as compensation for its services. RGWM is
compensated solely from fees paid by clients. RGWM manages $151,319,341 as of
December 31, 2025 all on a discretionary basis.
RGWM provides fee-based investment advisory services (“Asset Management Services”).
RGWM manages investment portfolios on a discretionary basis consistent with clients’
investment objectives and guidelines. Investment advice tends to focus on passive index
mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) whenever possible. The core principles of
RGWM's investment philosophy are diversification, market efficiency, long- term strategic
allocations, and tax-efficient, low-cost investing. RGWM may occasionally use its discretion
to choose third-party investment advisers (sometimes referred to as “sub-advisers”) to
manage all or a portion of the client's assets. Sub-advisers exercise the same degree of
discretion as afforded to RGWM by the client.
Financial planning services provided to clients are dependent upon the client's unique
goals and circumstances and may include retirement planning, tax planning, investment
planning, education funding, risk management, estate planning, charitable giving, and
employee benefit planning including stock options and deferred compensation plans.
Financial planning-only clients are under no obligation to act upon the recommendations
provided or effect any transactions through RGWM.
Financial planning is an ongoing process that should continue over a lifetime. Planning
services for previously unaddressed topics or planning requiring extraordinary research or
analysis may involve additional costs, which will be negotiated and agreed upon prior to
the start of any such work.
RGWM does not prepare tax returns of any kind, nor does it draft any legal documents
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
including wills and trusts.
Fees for Financial Planning Services
The fee for financial planning services is determined by the scope and complexity of the
client's financial situation and is charged on a fixed-fee or hourly basis. A typical planning
fee ranges from $4,000 to $5,000 for a one-time plan. All fees are subject to negotiation. For
one-time plans, clients will be provided an estimate before the commencement of work,
4
Form ADV Part 2A, Redwood Grove Wealth Management LLC, 415-737-5003
50% of which is due at the first meeting and the remainder of which is due upon the
completion of work. Under no circumstances will RGWM receive fees more than six months
in advance of services being provided. Lower fees for comparable services may be available
from other sources.
Clients have the unconditional right to cancel the Financial Planning Agreement within five
business days after signing it, and to receive a complete refund of any fee actually paid.
Thereafter, the client will have the right to cancel the agreement at any time prior to the
final plan presentation. If such notice of cancellation is given after five business days, fees
are refundable for any portion of advanced fees attributable to services not performed
prior to termination of the agreement.
Fees for Asset Management Services
Fees for asset management services are computed in accordance with the table below, in
advance, at the beginning of each calendar quarter. Fees are subject to a minimum annual
fee of $10,000; however, for clients who were RGWM clients prior to 2026, the minimum
annual fee is $5,000 as noted within the client’s written agreement. Fees will be based on
the fair market value of securities and cash in the Investment Account on the last trading
day of each calendar quarter. In computing the market value of any security held in the
Investment Account that is listed on a national securities exchange, such security shall be
valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date or the principal exchange on
which the security is traded. Any other security or asset shall be valued in a manner
determined in good faith by the Advisor to reflect its fair market value.

RGWM generally deducts fees from client accounts but may invoice clients directly in some
situations. The specific annual fee and manner in which fees are charged by RGWM is
established in a client’s written agreement with RGWM.
RGWM’s fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related
costs and expenses, which shall be incurred by the client. Clients may incur certain charges
imposed by custodians, brokers, third-party investment and other third parties such as fees
charged by managers, custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer
taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage
accounts and securities transactions. Mutual funds and exchange-traded funds also charge
internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus.

Such charges, fees, and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to RGWM’s fees, and
RGWM shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
The Asset Management Agreement may be terminated by either party upon thirty (30)

days’ written notice to the other party. Fees will be prorated to date of termination.
RGWM does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains

on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client).
RGWM provides financial planning and investment advice to individuals and families.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
RGWM has no minimum account size required to work with clients.
The core principles of RGWM's investment philosophy are diversification, market
efficiency, long-term strategic allocations, and tax-efficient, low-cost investing. RGWM
takes a long-term approach to investing and so recommends long-term strategic asset
allocations and investment to clients and does not recommend frequent trading in and out
of securities. RGWM also recommends well diversified portfolios to clients comprising
many asset classes, such as bonds, small and large stocks, US and foreign stocks, real estate
securities and commodities. RGWM employs a largely passive approach to investing
through the use of index mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) whenever
possible. However, in some cases (e.g., a client’s 401k plan), RGWM is limited to the
investment options available. RGWM uses fundamental analysis to evaluate securities and
investments for recommendation to clients and evaluates them based on performance,
fees, and other quantitative and qualitative factors, such as adherence to a stated
Investment Strategies
investment strategy, manager turnover, and portfolio turnover.
The primary investment strategy used on client accounts is asset allocation based on
Modern Portfolio Theory. RGWM develops a diversified investment portfolio by mixing
different assets in varying proportions depending on client circumstances and economic
climate. The primary purpose of Asset Allocation is to reduce the risk in the portfolio, while
maintaining or enhancing the rate of return of the portfolio.
•
Each client receives investment advice regarding their portfolio based upon his or her:
•
Time Horizon
•
Risk Tolerance
•
Expected Rate of Return
Asset Class Preferences
The investment vehicles used to invest in the various asset classes are mutual funds and
exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The mutual funds and ETFs provide:
•
Professional Management
6
Form ADV Part 2A, Redwood Grove Wealth Management LLC, 415-737-5003
•
Diversification
•
Flexibility
•
Liquidity
The investment strategy for a specific client is based upon the objectives stated by the
client during consultations. The client may change these objectives at any time.
RGWM’s methods of analysis and investment strategies do not present any significant or
unusual risks. However, every method of analysis has its own inherent risks. Modern
Portfolio Theory uses historical market returns and relationships between different types
of investments to create recommended investment mixes. Actual returns and, importantly,
the relationships between different types of investments (between stocks and bonds, for
example) may change over time, leading to the risk of lower than expected returns and/or
higher than expected risk of loss for the recommended mix of investments.
In addition, RGWM’s approach includes a comprehensive evaluation of the client’s invested
assets, including restricted and illiquid assets. RGWM will recommend changes to the
overall mix of investments, taking into account any assets which cannot be sold. The actual
investment results could vary more widely in these cases due to lack of information and
Risk of Loss
illiquidity of the non-saleable assets.
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. RGWM’s
investment approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investments are not FDIC-
insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity, so they may
lose value. Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and the client
should not assume that future performance of any specific investment or investment
strategy (including the investments and/or investment strategies recommended by RGWM)
will be profitable or equal to any specific performance level(s).
Investors face the following investment risks:
Interest-rate Risk: The risk that investment returns will be affected by changes in the level
of interest rates. When interest rates increase, the prices and values of bonds decrease.
When interest rates decrease, the prices and values of bonds increase.
Market Risk: The risk that investment returns will be affected by changes in the overall
level of the stock market. When the stock market as a whole increases or decreases,
virtually all stocks are affected to some degree.
Reinvestment Rate Risk: The risk incurred when an investment’s income is reinvested at a
lower rate than the rate that existed at the time the original investment was made. This risk
is most prevalent when interest rates fall.
Purchasing Power Risk (Inflation Risk): The risk that inflation will affect the return of an
investment in real dollars. In other words, the amount of goods that one dollar will
purchase decreases over time. Investments that have low returns, such as savings accounts,
are not likely to keep up with inflation. Investments with fixed returns, such as bonds, will
decrease in value because their purchasing value will decrease with inflation.
7
Form ADV Part 2A, Redwood Grove Wealth Management LLC, 415-737-5003
Business Risk: The risk associated with a particular industry or firm. These are factors that
affect the industry or firm, but do not affect the whole market. They include government
regulations, management competency, or local or regional economic factors.
Financial Risk: The risk associated with the mix of debt and equity used to finance a firm.
The greater the financial leverage, the greater the financial risk.
Currency Risk (Exchange Rate Risk): The risk that a change in the value of a foreign
currency relative to the U.S. dollar will negatively affect a U.S. investor’s return.
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash. Generally,
assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized product. For
example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties are not.
Investment and Market Risk: In general, cash equivalents provide liquidity with minimum
income, and a return of principal with no capital appreciation. Cash equivalents are,
however, subject to purchasing power risk.
Fixed income investments provide current income. Usually, the longer the maturity of the
security, the higher the income it will generate. Also, with longer maturities, fixed income
investments will have greater price volatility and greater opportunity for capital gains or
capital losses. Fixed income investments are subject to interest rate risk, reinvestment rate
risk, and purchasing power risk. In addition, foreign bonds would be subject to currency
rate risk and high yield bonds would be subject to business risk and financial risk.
The return of principal for bond funds and funds with significant underlying bond holdings
is not guaranteed. Mutual fund shares are subject to the same interest rate, inflation and
credit risks associated with the underlying bond holdings. Lower rated bonds are subject to
greater fluctuations in value and risk of loss of income and principal than higher rated
bonds.
Equity investments are subject to greater volatility, thus providing a greater opportunity
for capital gains, and a greater opportunity for capital losses. Equity investments offer little
or no current income. Equity investments are subject to market risk and interest rate risk,
while providing an opportunity to protect against purchasing power risk. Also, stock
mutual funds, rather than individual equities, may limit the exposure to business risk and
financial risk.
Non-U.S. Investment Risk: Investing outside the United States involves additional risks,
such as currency fluctuations, periods of illiquidity, and price volatility. These risks may be
heightened in connection with investments in developing countries. Small-company stocks
entail additional risks, and they can fluctuate in price more than larger company stocks.

Pandemics and Other Public Health Crisis
outbreak of an infectious disease such as severe acute respiratory syndrome, avian flu,
H1N1/09 flu and COVID-19 or any other serious public health concern, together with any
resulting restrictions on travel or quarantines imposed, could have a negative impact on the
economy, and business activity in any of the areas in which client investments may be located.
Such disruption, or the fear of such disruption, could have a significant and adverse impact on
the securities markets, lead to increased short-term market volatility or a significant market

under human supervision including that work product must be reviewed for accuracy.
Nevertheless, AI technologies are highly reliant on the accuracy, adequacy, completeness and
objectivity of their underlying data, and any inaccuracies, deficiencies or biases in this data
could lead to errors affecting RGWM’s decisions. AI technologies and their applications,
including in the financial sector, continue to develop rapidly, and it is impossible to predict the
future risks that have the potential to arise from such developments. When utilizing AI
technologies there are certain risks involved, including data quality, copyright and trade secret
violations, confidentiality breaches, unauthorized access or malware risks, insider trading,
cybersecurity, and privacy law violations. While data inputs and outputs are assessed and
evaluated for data integrity, there is no assurance of accuracy.
Cybersecurity Risk: Investment advisers and their service providers may be prone to
operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks include,
among other behaviors, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally (including,
for example, through cyber- attacks known as “phishing” and “spear-phishing”), denial-of-
service attacks on websites, the unauthorized release of confidential information and causing
operational disruption. Cyber- attacks may interfere with the processing of transactions, cause
the release of private information or confidential information of the firm, cause reputational
damage, and subject the firm to regulatory fines, penalties or financial losses, reimbursement
or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. While the firm has
established business continuity plans and systems designed to prevent such cyber-attacks,
there are limitations in such plans including the possibility that certain risks have not been

RGWM has adopted a Code of Ethics for all supervised persons of the firm describing its

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 the
reporting of certain gifts and business entertainment items and personal securities trading

terms of the Code of Ethics.
Additionally, RGWM adheres to the Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility (Code

Neither RGWM nor any related person of RGWM recommends, buys, or sells for client

and the efficiencies in having the majority of investment accounts at a limited number of
custodians. RGWM recommends custodians based on their proven integrity, the financial
responsibility of the firm, best execution of orders, availability of investment products,
reasonable commissions and fees, and the quality of client service. RGWM does not receive fees
or commissions or referrals from any custodian it recommends. Typically, RGWM recommends
that clients use Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), registered broker-dealer, members SIPC,
as the qualified custodian. If the client prefers another custodian, it will be considered as part
of the Investment Advisory Agreement fee negotiation. If the client chooses a different

Currently, RGWM participates in the Schwab Advisor Services™ program, formerly known as
Schwab Institutional® which caters to independent investment advisory firms, offering access
to institutional brokerage services such as trading, custody, reporting, and related support
services. These services, not typically available to Schwab retail customers, aid in managing
and administering client accounts and facilitating business growth. Schwab's institutional
brokerage provides access to a wide array of investment products and execution of securities
transactions, benefiting clients directly, while other services such as investment research and
technology assistance primarily benefit advisors in managing client accounts, although
indirectly benefiting clients as well.
10
Form ADV Part 2A, Redwood Grove Wealth Management LLC, 415-737-5003
Beyond client-centric support, Schwab offers services intended to enhance advisors'
business operations, including educational conferences, consulting on technology and
compliance, and access to various providers. While Schwab's offerings provide significant
value to advisors without direct costs, potential conflicts of interest arise due to advisors'
incentives to recommend Schwab based on the benefits they receive. Despite this, advisors
like RGWM prioritize Schwab for its comprehensive services rather than solely for the
benefits exclusively for them, believing it aligns with the best interests of their clients.
RGWM does not have any soft dollar arrangements in place with any broker-
dealer/custodian. However, RGWM may have an incentive to select or recommend a broker-
dealer/custodian based on adviser’s interest in receiving research, products, or services
rather than on adviser’s interest in receiving most favorable execution as discussed above.
RGWM may aggregate trades in like securities among client accounts as well as with account of
RGWM and our Supervised Persons. Each account in an aggregated trade will participate at the
average share price for all of our transactions in a given security on a given business day (per
custodian). All accounts will pay their individual transaction costs, as applicable. RGWM does not
receive additional compensation or renumeration of any kind as a result of aggregating orders.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
RGWM does not engage in principal transactions or cross transactions.

Client communications occur at several levels:
•
Trade confirmations and account statements document all investment transactions
and are provided directly to the client by the broker-dealer and/or Custodian.
•
Monthly or quarterly statements are prepared and distributed by the Custodian
holding the assets.
•
Quarterly performance reports are provided to all clients via a personalized, secure
on-line portal or by US Mail, per client preference. These reports show asset allocation,
performance over various time frames, a detailed list of the assets in each account and
the fee calculation.
•
Client meetings are generally held at least annually to review the client’s accounts and
all aspects of their financial plan (e.g., retirement projections, portfolio performance,
insurance, estate plan and tax planning) and determine if there have been any
material changes in the client’s financial goals.
Meetings, telephone calls, and emails typically occur throughout the year as

RGWM has no additional compensation arrangements with others for giving investment
advice or giving and receiving client referrals. However, RGWM periodically receives client
referrals from websites where they may be listed. In no case will the client pay any
Item 15 – Custody
additional fees to RGWM for services if the referral comes from any of these listings.
RGWM does not maintain physical custody of customer funds or securities. All client assets are
held at qualified custodians. The custodian provides at least quarterly statements (more often
monthly) directly to the client at their address of record or via email at the clients’ discretion.
If you are not receiving at least quarterly custodial account statements, please contact RGWM
at the number on the cover page of this brochure. RGWM 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.
RGWM is deemed to have limited custody of some of its clients’ funds or securities when the
clients authorize RGWM to deduct its management fees directly from the client’s account.
However, with a client’s consent through the written agreement with RGWM, RGWM will
deduct RGWM’s fees from a client’s account. RGWM will send billing invoices to the client.
RGWM is also deemed to have custody of clients’ funds or securities when clients have
standing authorizations with their custodian to move money from a client’s account to a third-
party (“SLOA”) and under that SLOA authorizes RGWM to designate the amount or timing of
transfers with the custodian. The SEC has set forth a set of standards intended to protect client

assets in such situations, which RGWM follows.
RGWM usually receives discretionary authority from the client at the outset of an advisory
relationship to select the identity and amount of securities to be bought or sold. Any
investment discretion is obtained in writing through the Asset Management Agreement
and a limited power of attorney. In all cases, however, such discretion is to be exercised in
a manner consistent with the stated investment objectives for the particular client
account.
Discretionary authority allows RGWM to perform trades in the client’s account without
further approval from the client. This includes decisions on the following:
•
Securities purchased or sold;
•
The amount of securities to be purchased or sold
Once the portfolio is constructed, RGWM provides ongoing supervision and re-balancing of the
12
Form ADV Part 2A, Redwood Grove Wealth Management LLC, 415-737-5003
portfolio as changes in market conditions and client circumstances may require.
RGWM seeks to undertake a minimal amount of trading in client accounts, in order to keep
transaction fees, other expenses, and tax consequences associated with trading to minimal
levels.
Clients who engage RGWM on a discretionary basis may, at any time, impose restrictions, in
writing, on RGWM’S discretionary authority (i.e. limit the types/amounts of particular
securities purchased for their account, exclude the ability to purchase securities with an
inverse relationship to the market, limit or proscribe RGWM’S use of margin, etc.).
Unless RGWM otherwise agrees in writing, RGWM does not advise or take any action on behalf
of clients in any legal proceedings, including bankruptcies or class actions, involving securities

held or formerly held in client accounts or the issuers of those securities.
Clients must sign a limited power of attorney before RGWM is given discretionary

Proxy Voting
As a matter of firm policy and practice, RGWM does not have any authority to and does not
vote proxies on behalf of advisory clients. If requested by the client, RGWM may provide
advice to clients regarding the clients’ voting of proxies. However, clients retain the
responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for any and all securities maintained in

client portfolios.

RGWM will not proactively monitor class actions or file on behalf of Clients.
RGWM does not instruct or give advice to Clients on whether or not to participate as a
member of class action lawsuits and will not automatically file claims on the Client’s
behalf
However, if a Client notifies RGWM that they wish to participate in a class action, it will
assist the Client with filing a proof of claim in the class action.
Item 18 – Financial Information
RGWM does not require the prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or
more in advance. For additional information regarding payment of fees, see Item 5 above.
RGWM has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and
fiduciary commitments to clients and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
