Item 4. Advisory Business
Resurgent Financial Advisors, LLC (“Resurgent”, “the Firm”, “we”, “our”, “us”) opened its doors in
2019. The Firm is primarily owned by Kip Caffey, CEO, Invergarry Holdings LP and Sororibus Capital,
LLC. In addition to Resurgent Financial Advisors, LLC, our Firm conducts some of its investment
advisory business under different entity names which are listed in the Firm’s ADV Part 1 Section 1.B
of Schedule D.
Resurgent offers a variety of advisory services, including financial planning, investment management,
analysis, evaluation and monitoring. Resurgent works primarily with individuals and families, high net
worth individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, and business entities. We
believe that sound financial advice must be based on a thorough knowledge of client financial
circumstances, risk tolerances and financial and personal goals. Our advisors begin client relationships
by getting to know those considerations. Resurgent seeks to provide ongoing financial planning and
investment strategies consistent with the goals and values defined by our clients. Prior to Resurgent
rendering any of the foregoing advisory services, clients are required to enter into one or more written
agreements with Resurgent setting forth the relevant terms and conditions of the advisory relationship
(the “Investment Advisory Agreement”).
Resurgent Financial Advisors LLC has regulatory assets under management of $310,707,736 managed
on a discretionary basis and $43,987,189 on a non-discretionary basis as of December 31, 2025.
While this brochure generally describes the business of Resurgent, certain sections also discuss the
activities of its Access Persons, which refer to the Firm’s officers, partners, directors (or other persons
occupying a similar status or performing similar functions), employees or any other person who
provides investment advice on Resurgent’s behalf and are subject to the Firm’s supervision or control.
Advisory Services
Resurgent offers clients a broad range of investment management services, which may include any or
all of the following functions: retirement income planning, education funding analysis, charitable giving
analysis, intergenerational wealth transfer, tax optimization for investment assets and cash flow
planning.
Resurgent offers these investment management services on both a discretionary and non-discretionary
basis. Resurgent primarily allocates client assets among various mutual funds, exchange-traded funds
(“ETFs”) and independent investment managers (“Sub-Advisors”), as well as a limited amount of
individual debt and equity securities, and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), in accordance with a
client’s stated investment objectives. In addition, where appropriate, Resurgent also recommends that
certain eligible clients invest in alternative investments and/or privately placed securities, which may
include debt, equity and/or interests in pooled investment vehicles (e.g., private equity funds).
Where appropriate, the Firm also provides advice about any type of legacy position or other investment
held in client portfolios.

Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
Resurgent Financial Advisors
Resurgent may advise clients on certain investment products that are not maintained at their primary
Custodian. Examples of these include life insurance, annuity contracts, and assets held in employer
sponsored retirement plans and qualified tuition plans (i.e., 529 plans). In these situations, Resurgent
directs or recommends the allocation of client assets among the various investment options available
with the product. These assets are generally maintained at the underwriting insurance company, or the
Custodian designated by the product’s provider. Resurgent may receive compensation for such
recommendations in certain circumstances.
Resurgent tailors its advisory services to meet the needs of its individual clients and seeks to ensure, on
a continuous basis, that client portfolios are managed in a manner consistent with those needs and
objectives. Resurgent consults with clients on an initial and ongoing basis to assess their specific risk
of not achieving stated financial goals and objectives, as well as a client’s time horizon, liquidity
constraints and other related factors relevant to the management of their portfolios. Clients are advised
to promptly notify Resurgent if there are changes in their financial situation or if they wish to place any
limitations on the management of their portfolios. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions or
mandates on the management of their accounts if Resurgent determines, in its sole discretion, the
conditions will not materially impact the performance of a management strategy or prove overly
burdensome to the Firm’s management efforts.
In performing these services, Resurgent is not required to verify any information received from the
client or from the client’s other professionals (e.g., attorneys, accountants, etc.,) and is expressly
authorized to rely on such information. Resurgent may recommend clients engage the Firm for additional
related services, that its investment advisors in their individual capacities as insurance agents and/or
other professionals to implement their recommendations. Clients are advised that a conflict of interest
exists if they engage Resurgent’s investment advisors if additional services outside the Firm are
provided for compensation. Clients retain absolute discretion over all decisions regarding
implementation and are under no obligation to act upon any of the recommendations made by Resurgent
under a financial planning or consulting engagement.
Clients are advised that it remains their responsibility to promptly notify the Firm of any change in their
financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating or revising
Resurgent’s portfolio management and/or services.
Use of Sub-Advisors
As mentioned above, where appropriate, Resurgent selects certain Sub-Advisors to actively manage a
portion of its clients’ assets. The specific terms and conditions under which a client engages an
Independent Manager are set forth in a separate written agreement with the designated Independent
Manager or within the Investment Advisory Agreement (“IAA”) executed with Resurgent. In addition
to this brochure, clients will also receive the written disclosure documents of the respective Sub-
Advisors engaged to manage their assets.
Resurgent evaluates a variety of information about Sub-Advisors, which may include the Sub-Advisors’
public disclosure documents, materials supplied by the Sub-Advisors themselves and other third-party
analyses it believes are reputable. To the extent possible, the Firm seeks to assess the Sub-Advisors’
investment strategies, past performance, and risk results in relation to its clients’ individual portfolio
5
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
Resurgent Financial Advisors
allocations and risk exposure. Resurgent also takes into consideration each Independent Manager’s
management style, returns, reputation, financial strength, reporting, pricing, and research capabilities,
among other factors.
Resurgent continues to provide services relative to the discretionary or non-discretionary selection of
the Sub-Advisors. On an ongoing basis, the Firm monitors the performance of those accounts being
managed by Sub-Advisors. Resurgent seeks to ensure the Sub-Advisors’ strategies and target
allocations remain aligned with its clients’ investment objectives and overall best interests.
In cases where a Sub-adviser is engaged in a client relationship, the client will also sign an advisory
contract directly with the Sub-Adviser (Dual Contract Relationships) or through Resurgent combined
with the Sub-Adviser (Single Contract Relationships). The Sub-Adviser will deliver their Firm
Brochure, such as this one, to the client as well.
Participant Account Management Services
We use a third-party platform, called Pontera, to facilitate management of held away assets
such as defined contribution plan participant accounts, on a discretionary basis. Pontera allows
us to avoid being considered to have custody of client funds since we do not have direct access
to client log-in credentials to affect trades. We are not affiliated with Pontera in any way and
receive no compensation from them for using their platform. A link will be provided to a client
allowing them to connect an account(s) to Pontera. Once a client’s account is connected, we
will review the current account allocations. When deemed necessary, we will rebalance the
account considering client investment goals and risk tolerance, and any change in allocations
will consider current economic and market trends. The goal is to improve account performance
over time, minimize loss during difficult markets, and manage internal fees that can harm
account performance. A client’s account will be reviewed at least annually or as needed and
allocation changes will be made as we deem appropriate.
Fiduciary Responsibility for Retirement Accounts
When we provide investment advice to a client regarding a retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, Resurgent is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act (ERISA) and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws
governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so
we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in the best interest of the client and not put
Resurgent’s interest ahead of the client’s interest.
Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
Never put our financial interests ahead of the client’s financial interests when making
recommendations (give loyal advice);
Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interests, fees and investments;
Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that gives advice that is in the best interest
of the client;
Charge no more than is reasonable for services provided; and
6
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
Resurgent Financial Advisors
Give the client basic information about conflicts of interest.
Item 5. Fees and Compensation
Resurgent offers services on a fee basis, which include fees based upon assets under management or
advisement. Fees are charged based on a tiered level, as well as fixed rates and/or fixed or hourly fees
depending on the client relationship. Fixed or hourly fees may be charged if one of our investment
advisors offers financial planning services. Please refer to your investment advisor’s brochure
supplement for more information on this.
Investment Management Fees
Advisory fees are based upon the assets under management or advisement and can be charged on a
tiered level or at a fixed rate. Fees are generally negotiable, and the final fee schedule is contained in
the IAA. Resurgent bills clients on a monthly or quarterly basis in advance or in arrears, based on asset
values as of the last day of the previous quarter. For example, billing amounts for the first calendar
quarter are based on account values as of 12/31. Clients can be charged up to 2.25% annually on the
assets managed by Resurgent.
Fees for new accounts will be pro-rated to cover the period from the date an Account is opened through
the end of the current calendar quarter. Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty for a full
refund of the Firm’s fees within five business days of signing the IAA. Thereafter, clients may terminate
the Advisory Agreement generally with 30 days' notice. The full terms and conditions of the advisory
engagement are set forth in the IAA.
Fee Discretion
Resurgent may, in its sole discretion, negotiate to charge a lesser fee based upon certain criteria, such
as anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be
managed, related accounts, account composition, pre-existing/legacy client relationship, account
retention and pro bono activities. The actual fees to the client will be disclosed in the IAA’s.
Additional Fees and Expenses
In addition to the advisory fees paid to Resurgent, clients also incur certain charges imposed by other
third parties, such as Custodians, trust companies, banks and other financial institutions (collectively
“Financial Institutions”). These additional charges include transaction costs, reporting charges,
custodial fees, fees and expenses related to alternative investments, charges imposed directly by a mutual
fund or ETF in a client’s account, as disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (e.g., fund management fees
and other fund expenses), deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and
electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on securities transactions.
Margin Fees
Our IAR’s may trade on margin for client accounts, when consistent with the client’s suitability profile
7
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
Resurgent Financial Advisors
and risk tolerance or at the client’s directive. The use of margin results in interest charges as well as
other fees and expenses associated with the security or account involved. Fees are debited directly from
client accounts and are calculated using the total assets in the account as shown on the client custodial
statement, including any assets purchased on margin. If there is a net debit cash balance in the account
because of using margin, the cash balance will be excluded from the fee calculation. Net positive cash
balances in type 1 (cash account) and type 2 (margin account) are included in the fee calculation.
Sub-Advisor Fees
In relationships with Custodians and Sub-Advisors, all costs associated with the relationship will be
disclosed in the contract signed by the client with the Custodian and/or Independent Manager. In some
cases, Resurgent will receive a portion of the total fee charged by the Independent Manager and in other
cases Resurgent will charge the total fee and pay a portion to the Independent Manager. It should be
noted that the investment management fees charged by a Sub-Advisor are separate and in addition to
the Annual Advisory fee charged by Resurgent.
The client should review all fees charged by funds, brokers, Resurgent and others to fully understand
the total amount of fees paid by the client for investment and financial-related services.
Direct Fee Debit
Clients generally provide Resurgent and/or certain Sub-Advisors with the authority to directly debit
their accounts for payment of the investment advisory fees. The Financial Institutions that act as the
qualified Custodian for client accounts, from which the Firm retains the authority to directly deduct fees,
have agreed to send statements to clients not less than quarterly detailing all account transactions,
including any amounts paid to Resurgent. Alternatively, clients may elect to have Resurgent send a
separate invoice for direct payment.
Account Additions and Withdrawals
Clients may make additions to and withdrawals from their account at any time. Additions may be in cash
or securities provided that the Firm reserves the right to liquidate any transferred securities or declines
to accept particular securities into a client’s account. Clients may withdraw account assets on notice to
Resurgent, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. However, the Firm
generally designs its portfolios as long-term investments, and the withdrawal of assets may impair the
achievement of a client’s investment objectives. Resurgent consults with its clients about the options
and implications of transferring securities as necessary. Clients are advised that when transferred
securities are liquidated, they may be subject to transaction fees, short-term redemption fees, fees
assessed at the mutual fund level (e.g., contingent deferred sales charges) and/or tax ramifications.
Other Investment Products
Some investment advisors of the Firm may accept compensation for the sale of other investment
products, such as annuities and certain insurance products. Clients have the option to purchase such
products through unaffiliated agents and are in no way required to purchase these products through
Resurgent or one of its investment advisors.
8
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
Resurgent Financial Advisors
Compensation for the Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products
Certain persons providing investment advice on behalf of the Firm are licensed as independent insurance
agents. These persons will earn customary commission-based compensation for selling insurance
products, including insurance products they sell to you. Insurance commissions earned by these persons
are separate and in addition to our advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because
persons providing investment advice on behalf of our Firm who are insurance agents could have an
incentive to recommend insurance products to you for the purpose of generating commissions.
However, you are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase insurance products
through any person affiliated with the Firm.
To fully understand both of these potential conflicts, you should review the additional information
provided by your Advisor (the “Advisor Brochure”) which will advise if your Advisor serves in either
of these roles. You are also encouraged to ask your Advisor about these potential licenses and
registrations and potential conflicts.
Participant Account Management Fees
Our annual fees for Portfolio Management Services are based upon a percentage of assets under
management and are either a flat fee or a tiered fee schedule.
Clients participating in the Pontera platform will be required to sign an IAA. This Fee will be charged
quarterly in advance and in certain instances, monthly in advance. The Fee will be assessed and payable
each billing period, in advance, based on the balance of Client’s managed assets as of the prior quarter-
end, in accordance with the fee schedule listed in Exhibit A of the IAA. If we only manage your assets
for part of a quarter, the charge will be prorated.
Investment management fees are generally directly debited from client accounts. The exception for this
is directly managed held-away accounts, such as 401(k)s. As it is impossible to directly debit the fees
from these accounts, these fees will be assigned to a client’s accounts on a pro-rata basis. If the client
does not have an account managed by Resurgent, those fees will be billed directly to the client. Accounts
initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be charged a prorated fee based on the amount of
time remaining in the billing period. An account may be terminated with written notice at least 30
calendar days in advance.
Item 6. Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Resurgent does not provide any services for a performance-based fee (i.e., a fee based on a share of
capital gains or capital appreciation of a client’s assets).
Item 7. Types of Clients
Resurgent provides services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, charitable
organizations, corporations, and business entities.
9
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
Resurgent Financial Advisors
Minimum Account Requirements
Resurgent does not impose a stated minimum fee or minimum portfolio value for starting and
maintaining an investment management relationship. Certain Sub-Advisors may, however, impose
more restrictive account requirements and billing practices from the Firm. In these instances, Resurgent
may alter its corresponding account requirements and/or billing practices to accommodate those of the
Sub-Advisors.
Item 8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
Resurgent’s primary method of analysis is fundamental. Fundamental analysis involves an evaluation
of the fundamental financial condition and competitive position of a particular fund or issuer. For
Resurgent, this process typically involves an analysis of an issuer’s management team, investment
strategies, style drift, past performance, reputation and financial strength in relation to the asset class
concentrations and risk exposures of the Firm’s model asset allocations. A substantial risk in relying
upon fundamental analysis is that while the overall health and position of a company may be good,
evolving market conditions may negatively impact the security. Our Firm’s investment advisors have
access to various market, research, portfolio modeling and other tools and information to which he or
she will use in determining investment advice provided to our clients.
Investment Strategies
Resurgent manages client assets primarily on a discretionary but also on a non-discretionary basis. The
Firm primarily invests client assets among various mutual funds and ETFs in accordance with the
client’s stated investment objectives. Resurgent may also allocate client assets through Sub-Advisors
and individual debt and equity securities.
Resurgent tailors its advisory services to the individual needs of clients. The Firm consults with clients
initially and on an ongoing basis to develop an investment policy statement and/or investment
objectives and risk tolerance which determine the risk of not achieving stated financial goals and
objectives and the client’s time horizon among other factors that may impact the clients’ investment
needs. Resurgent seeks to ensure that clients’ investments are suitable for their investment needs, goals
and objectives and seeks to mitigate the risk of not achieving stated financial goals and objectives.
Risk of Loss
Market Risks
Investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal, and all investors should be guided
accordingly. The profitability of a significant portion of Resurgent’s recommendations and/or
investment decisions may depend to a great extent upon correctly assessing the future course of price
movements of stocks, bonds and other asset classes. There can be no assurance that Resurgent will be
able to predict those price movements accurately or capitalize on any such assumptions.
10
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
Resurgent Financial Advisors
Volatility Risks
The prices and values of investments can be highly volatile, and are influenced by, among other things,
interest rates, general economic conditions, the condition of the financial markets, the financial
condition of the issuers of such assets, changing supply and demand relationships, and programs and
policies of governments.
Cash Management Risks
The Firm may invest some of a client’s assets temporarily in money market funds or other similar types
of investments, during which time an advisory account may be prevented from achieving its investment
objective.
Equity-Related Security Risk
The Firm may take long and short positions on behalf of clients in common stocks of U.S. and non-
U.S. issuers traded on national securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets. The value of equity
securities varies as investors continuously evaluate risks and returns. Equity securities are subject to
three fundamental risk categories: company risk, industry risk and market risk. Company risk relates to
the specific performance of a given company as compared with consensus expectations. Industry risks
are those that relate to all companies in an industry, such as regulatory changes or shifting consumer
tastes. All equity securities are subject to market risk, as overall stock prices rise and fall with investor
estimates of economic expectations. U.S. and non-U.S. stock markets have experienced periods of
substantial price volatility in the past and may do so again in the future. In addition, investments in
small-capitalization, mid-capitalization and financially distressed companies may be subject to more
abrupt or erratic price movements and may lack sufficient market liquidity, and these issuers often face
greater business risks.
Fixed Income Security Risk
Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk as rates move up or down, and to credit risk, which is
the ability of the issuer or a guarantor to meet principal and interest payments on its obligations.
Mutual Funds and ETF Risk
An investment in a mutual fund or ETF involves risk, including the loss of principal. Mutual fund and
ETF shareholders are necessarily subject to the risks stemming from the individual issuers of the fund’s
underlying portfolio securities. Such shareholders are also liable for taxes on any fund-level capital
gains, as mutual funds and ETFs are required by law to distribute capital gains when they sell securities
for a profit that cannot be offset by a corresponding loss.
Risk from use of Sub-Advisors
As stated above Resurgent may select certain Sub-Advisors to manage a portion of its clients’ assets.
In these situations, Resurgent continues to conduct ongoing due diligence of such managers, but such
recommendations rely to a great extent on the Sub-Advisors’ ability to successfully implement their
investment strategies. In addition, Resurgent does not have the ability to supervise the Sub-Advisors on
a day-to-day basis.
11
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
Resurgent Financial Advisors
Risk from use of Private Collective Investment Vehicles
Resurgent advisors may recommend that certain clients invest in privately placed collective investment
vehicles (e.g., hedge funds, private equity funds, etc.). The managers of these vehicles have broad
discretion in selecting the investments. There are few limitations on the types of securities or other
financial instruments which may be traded and there may be no requirement to diversify. Hedge funds
may trade on margin or otherwise leverage positions, thereby potentially increasing the risk to the
vehicle. In addition, because the vehicles are not registered as investment companies, there is an absence
of regulation. There are numerous other risks in investing in these securities, including possible
restrictions on investor liquidity. Clients should consult each fund’s private placement memorandum
and/or other documents explaining such risks prior to investing.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) Risk
Resurgent recommends an investment in, or allocates assets among, various real estate investment trusts
(“REITs”), the shares of which exist in the form of either publicly traded or privately placed securities.
REITs are collective investment vehicles with portfolios comprised primarily of real estate and
mortgage related holdings. Many REITs hold heavy concentrations of investments tied to commercial
and/or residential developments, which inherently subject REIT investors to the risks associated with a
downturn in the real estate market. Investments linked to certain regions that experience greater
volatility in the local real estate market may give rise to large fluctuations in the value of the vehicle’s
shares. Mortgage related holdings may give rise to additional concerns pertaining to interest rates,
inflation, liquidity, and counterparty risk.
Item 9. Disciplinary Information
Resurgent has not been involved in any legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client’s
evaluation of its advisory business or the integrity of its management.
Item 10. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Licensed Insurance Agents
One or more of the Firm’s investment advisors are licensed insurance agents and may offer certain
insurance products on a fully disclosed commissionable basis. A conflict of interest exists to the extent
that Resurgent investment advisors recommend the purchase of insurance products where they may be
entitled to insurance commissions or other additional compensation. The Firm has procedures in place
to verify that recommendations are made in its clients’ best interest regardless of any such affiliations.
You should refer to your individual advisor’s brochure supplement for information about whether he or
she is licensed to sell insurance products.
Fees from Sub-Advisors
As discussed above, Resurgent recommends that certain clients authorize the active discretionary
management of a portion of their assets by and/or among certain Sub-Advisors. In certain circumstances
12
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
Resurgent Financial Advisors
the Firm’s compensation is included in the advisory fee charged by such Sub-Advisors. There may be a
conflict of interest to choose such Sub-Advisors; however, Resurgent evaluates Sub-Advisors
objectively and not based on the amount of compensation it may receive from a particular Independent
Manager.
Item 11. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
Resurgent has adopted a code of ethics in compliance with applicable securities laws (“Code of Ethics”)
that sets forth the standards of conduct expected of its Access Persons. Resurgent’ Code of Ethics
contains written policies reasonably designed to prevent certain unlawful practices such as the use of
material non-public information by the Firm or any of its Access Persons and the trading by the same
of securities ahead of clients in order to take advantage of pending orders.
When the Firm is engaging in or considering a transaction in any security on behalf of a client, no
personnel with access to this information may knowingly effect for themselves or for their immediate
family (i.e., spouse, minor children and adults living in the same household) a transaction in that
security unless:
• The client’s transaction has been completed;
•
the transaction for the Supervised Person is completed as part of a batch trade with clients; or
•
a decision has been made not to engage in the transaction for the client.
These requirements are not applicable to: (i) direct obligations of the Government of the United States;
(ii) money market instruments, bankers’ acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper,
repurchase agreements and other high quality short-term debt instruments, including repurchase
agreements; (iii) shares issued by open-end mutual funds or money market funds; and (iv) shares issued
by unit investment trusts that are invested exclusively in one or more open-end mutual funds.
Clients and prospective clients may contact Resurgent to request a copy of its Code of Ethics.
Item 12. Brokerage Practices
Recommendation of Broker/Dealers for Client Transactions
Resurgent generally recommends that clients utilize the custody, brokerage and clearing services of
Raymond James & Associates, Inc. member New York Stock Exchange and SIPC ("Raymond James")
or Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Charles Schwab") for investment management accounts. In some
cases, however, clients are able to choose another Custodian with whom they wish to work.
Factors which Resurgent considers in recommending broker-dealers to clients include their respective
financial strength, reputation, execution, pricing, research and service. To the extent that our Custodians
charge commissions, the commissions paid by Resurgent’s clients to any of our Custodians comply
with the Firm’s duty to obtain “best execution.” Clients may pay commissions that are higher than
13
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
Resurgent Financial Advisors
another qualified Financial Institutions might charge to affect the same transaction where Resurgent
determines that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research
services received. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but
whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range
of a Financial Institution’s services, including among others, the value of research provided, execution
capability, commission rates and responsiveness. Resurgent seeks competitive rates but may not
necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for client transactions.
Consistent with obtaining best execution, brokerage transactions are directed to certain broker/dealers
(the Custodian chosen by the client unless we are directed otherwise as described below) in return for
investment research products and/or services which assist Resurgent in its investment decision-making
process. Such research generally will be used to service all of the Firm’s clients, but brokerage
commissions paid by one client may be used to pay for research that is not used in managing that client’s
portfolio. The receipt of investment research products and/or services as well as the allocation of the
benefit of such investment research products and/or services poses a conflict of interest because
Resurgent does not have to produce or pay for the products or services.
Resurgent periodically and systematically reviews its policies and procedures regarding its
recommendation of Financial Institutions in light of its duty to obtain best execution.
Software and Support Provided by Financial Institutions
Resurgent receives, without cost, from its Custodians, computer software and related systems support,
which allow Resurgent to better monitor client accounts maintained through the Custodian. Resurgent
receives the software and related support without cost because the Firm renders investment management
services to clients that maintain assets at each Custodian. The software and related systems support may
benefit Resurgent, but not its clients directly. All of the items received from our Custodians fall within
the Securities Exchange Commission Safe Harbor with regard to soft dollars. In fulfilling its duties to
its clients, Resurgent endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should be
aware, however, that Resurgent’s receipt of economic benefits from a broker/dealer creates a conflict of
interest since these benefits provide an incentive for Resurgent to choose one broker/dealer over another
that does not furnish similar software, systems support or services.
Specifically, Resurgent may receive the following benefits from a Custodian:
• Receipt of duplicate client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements;
• Access to a trading desk that exclusively services its institutional traders;
• Access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions and
then allocate the appropriate shares to client accounts; and
• Access to an electronic communication network for client order entry and account information.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
Resurgent does not consider, in selecting or recommending broker/dealers, whether the Firm receives
14
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
Resurgent Financial Advisors
client referrals from the Financial Institutions or other third party.
Directed Brokerage
The client may direct Resurgent in writing to use a particular Financial Institution to execute some or all
transactions for the client. In that case, the client will negotiate terms and arrangements for the account
with that Financial Institution and the Firm will not seek better execution services or prices from other
Financial Institutions or be able to “batch” client transactions for execution through other Financial
Institutions with orders for other accounts managed by Resurgent (as described above). As a result, the
client may pay higher transaction costs (e.g., brokerage commissions and spreads) or may receive less
favorable net prices, on transactions for the account than would otherwise be the case. Subject to its
duty of best execution, Resurgent may decline a client’s request to direct brokerage if, in the Firm’s sole
discretion, such directed brokerage arrangements would result in additional operational difficulties or
violate restrictions imposed by other broker-dealers (as further discussed below).
Trade Aggregation
Transactions for each client generally will be executed independently unless Resurgent decides to
purchase or sell the same securities for several clients at approximately the same time. Resurgent may
(but is not obligated to) combine or “batch” such orders to obtain best execution, to negotiate more
favorable commission rates or to allocate equitably among the Firm’s client’s differences in prices and
commissions or other transaction costs that might not have been obtained had such orders been placed
independently. Under this procedure, transactions will generally be averaged as to price and allocated
among Resurgent’s clients pro rata to the purchase and sale orders placed for each client on any given
day. To the extent that the Firm determines to aggregate client orders for the purchase or sale of
securities, including securities in which Resurgent’s Access Persons may invest, the Firm does so in
accordance with applicable rules promulgated under the Advisers Act and no-action guidance provided
by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Resurgent does not receive any additional
compensation or remuneration as a result of the aggregation.
In the event that the Firm determines that a prorated allocation is not appropriate under the particular
circumstances, the allocation will be made based upon other relevant factors, which may include: (i)
when only a small percentage of the order is executed, shares will be allocated to the account with the
smallest order or the smallest position or to an account that is out of line with respect to security or sector
weightings relative to other portfolios, with similar mandates; (ii) allocations may be given to one
account when such account has limitations in its investment guidelines which prohibit it from purchasing
other securities which are expected to produce similar investment results and can be purchased by other
accounts; (iii) if an account reaches an investment guideline limit and cannot participate in an allocation,
shares will be reallocated to other accounts (this may be due to unforeseen changes in an account’s
assets after an order is placed); (iv) with respect to sale allocations, allocations will be given to accounts
low in cash; (v) in cases when a pro rata allocation of a potential execution would result in a de minimis
allocation in one or more accounts, the Firm may exclude the account(s) from the allocation; the
transactions will be executed on a pro rata basis among the remaining accounts; or (vi) in cases where
a small proportion of an order is executed in all accounts, shares will be allocated to one or more
accounts on a random basis.

Item 13. Review of Accounts
Account Reviews
Resurgent monitors client portfolios on a continuous and ongoing basis while regular account reviews
are conducted on at least an annual basis. Such reviews are conducted by the Firm’s investment adviser
representatives. All investment advisory clients are encouraged to discuss their needs, goals, and
objectives with Resurgent and to keep the Firm informed of any changes thereto.
Account Statements and Reports
Clients are provided with transaction confirmation notices and regular summary account statements
directly from the Financial Institutions where their assets are custodied. From time to time or as
otherwise requested, clients may also receive written or electronic reports from Resurgent and/or an
outside service provider, which contain certain account and/or market-related information, such as an
inventory of account holdings or account performance. Clients should only rely on the account statements
they receive from their Custodian and compare written or electronic reports they receive from Resurgent
or an outside service provider.
Item 14. Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Resurgent has no arrangements, written or oral, in which it compensates any individuals or entities for
referrals of Clients.
Item 15. Custody
The IAA and/or the separate agreement with any Financial Institution generally authorizes Resurgent
and/or the Sub-Advisors to debit client accounts for payment of the Firm’s fees and to directly remit
those funds to the Firm in accordance with applicable custody rules. The Financial Institutions that act
as the qualified Custodian for client accounts, from which the Firm retains the authority to directly
deduct fees, have agreed to send statements to clients not less than quarterly detailing all account
transactions, including any amounts paid to Resurgent.
In addition, as discussed in Item 13, Resurgent may also send periodic supplemental reports to clients.
Clients should carefully review and rely only on the statements sent directly by the Financial Institutions
and compare them to those received from Resurgent.
Item 16. Investment Discretion
In many circumstances, Resurgent is given the authority to exercise discretion on behalf of clients.
Resurgent is considered to exercise investment discretion over a clients account if it can effect and/or
direct transactions in client accounts without first seeking their consent. Resurgent is given this
authority through a limited power-of-attorney included in the agreement between Resurgent and the
client. Clients may request additional limitations on this authority (such as certain securities not to be
16

bought or sold). Resurgent takes discretion over the following activities:
• The securities to be purchased or sold;
• The amount of securities to be purchased or sold;
• When transactions are made;
• The Broker-Dealer through which the transaction will execute* and
• Whether Sub-Advisors are to be considered.
*Consistent with the Firm’s best execution obligation.
Item 17. Voting Client Securities
Declination of Proxy Voting Authority
Resurgent generally does not accept the authority to vote a client’s securities (i.e., proxies) on their
behalf.
Clients receive proxies directly from the Financial Institutions where their assets are custodied and may
contact the Firm at the contact information on the cover of this brochure with questions about any such
issuer solicitation.
Item 18. Financial Information
Resurgent is not required to disclose any financial information due to the following:
• The Firm does not require or solicit the prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees six months or
more in advance of services rendered;
• The Firm does not have a financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its liability to
meet contractual commitments to clients; and
• The Firm has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years
