ADVISORY BUSINESS
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 4
Principals and Incorporation
Roffman Miller was incorporated in 1990 and opened its doors to its first client in July of 1991. Our principal
owners are Robert Hofmann, Paulette Greenwell, and Mark Frombach. Currently 11 of our 19 employees
own shares in our firm.
We are headquartered in Philadelphia, PA. Our investment team share a vision of personalized portfolio
management and sound financial discipline.
Advisory Services
Our primary business is to provide discretionary investment management for our clients. We include in our
advisory services financial planning. We follow an investment strategy that focuses on meeting long-term
goals and reducing volatility of returns. This is achieved by identifying client objectives, adhering to a high-
quality investment selection process, and diversification of securities and asset classes. As each individual
has varying goals, obligations and risk factors, our team listens and takes a customized approach to our
clients’ portfolios.
For marketing purposes, we may show prospects sample client portfolios. They are for illustration only; each
client portfolio is tailored to the needs of that specific client.
We typically utilize individual stocks and bonds and occasionally mutual funds and ETF’s in our
portfolios. While our investments are generally purchased for the long-term (three to five years), we will, in
appropriate circumstances, engage in short-term purchases (securities sold within one year) and trading
(securities sold within 30 days).
We will allow clients to hold legacy positions or certain self-directed securities. This will be part of the
interview and building of the investment plan.
Please Note: Retirement Rollovers-Potential for Conflict of Interest: A client or prospective client leaving
an employer typically has four options regarding an existing retirement plan (and may engage in a
combination of these options): (i) leave the money in the former employer’s plan, if permitted, (ii) roll over the
assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, (iii) roll over to an Individual
Retirement Account (“IRA”), or (iv) cash out the account value (which could, depending upon the client’s age,
result in adverse tax consequences). If Roffman Miller recommends that a client roll over their retirement
plan assets into an account to be managed by Roffman Miller, such a recommendation creates a conflict of
interest if Roffman Miller will earn new (or increase its current) compensation as a result of the rollover. If
Roffman Miller provides a recommendation as to whether a client should engage in a rollover or not (whether
it is from an employer’s plan or an existing IRA), Roffman Miller is acting as a fiduciary within the meaning of
Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts.
No client is under any obligation to roll over retirement plan assets to an account managed by Roffman
Miller, whether it is from an employer’s plan or an existing IRA. Roffman Miller’s Chief Compliance Officer,
Paulette Greenwell, remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have
regarding the potential for conflict of interest presented by such rollover recommendation.
All options for rollovers, whether from an employer or like to like transfers, will be discussed with the client or
prospective client and documented. A recommendation once given can be either accepted or not, but in

either case signed off on by the client or prospective client. Discussions should include but are not limited to,
services offered, fees and expenses and investment options. Specifically for employer plan rollovers, certain
legal and operational issues need to be reviewed.
All erisa accounts are treated the same as non-erisa accounts.
Account Management
We see outstanding customer service as our priority, and we take pride in providing personalized service and
extensive client communication. We conduct a client interview as a means of building a profile, looking at a
number of factors including goals, history, need for income and risk threshold. Members of the Investment
Committee discuss the profile and evaluate the optimum investment strategy on an individual basis.
Portfolios are managed by members of the Investment Committee. Investment Managers are assigned to
each client and are responsible for placing trades and conducting reviews.
With a combination of meetings, written reports and informal discussions, we keep clients apprised of their
portfolio. Such on-going communication allows us to monitor changing client needs and circumstances so we
may make any appropriate adjustments.
In addition to traditional money management, our team acts as a partner and counsels our clients on any
financial questions or concerns.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, Roffman Miller managed $2,895,159,684 in assets.
• $2,866,235,591 in discretionary assets
• $28,924,093 in non-discretionary assets
See “Investment Discretion” for an explanation of discretionary and non-discretionary management.
We have another $3,954,877 in assets under advisement.

FEES AND COMPENSATION
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 5
Fee Schedule
For our services as an investment advisor, we charge a percentage of the assets under management.
The annual fees are paid quarterly and will be based on the market value of the Portfolio at the end of
each quarter, March, June, September, and December. Pricing of assets is done through reputable
broker/dealer(s). If for some reason we feel any security is not being fairly priced, we have procedures for
price overrides. For clients with Bonds, fees include accrued interest. Roffman Miller’s portfolio
management software may calculate accrued interest differently than your Broker Dealer. All fees are
subject to review and revision at any time. All fees are negotiable on an individual basis.
All management fees are paid three months in advance. Clients may end their contracts at any time. The
client will get a pro-rated refund. We do reserve the right to charge additional fees for any work completed
after the termination date. Fees will be applied daily as per the original fee schedule. Such services
include, but are not limited to executing trades, facilitating transfers, and calculating and providing cost
basis and tax information.
Existing clients opening new accounts will be billed using the fee schedule agreed upon at the beginning
of the relationship.
Fee Dispersion
Roffman Miller, in its discretion, may charge a lesser investment advisory fee, charge a flat fee, or waive
its asset minimum, based upon certain criteria (i.e. anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future
additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition,
complexity of the engagement, anticipated services to be rendered, grandfathered fee schedules,
employees and family members, courtesy accounts, competition, negotiations with client, etc.). Please
Note: As a result of the above, similarly situated clients could pay different fees. In addition, similar
advisory services may be available from other investment advisers for similar or lower fees. Please
Also Note: Conflict of Interest. Because Roffman Miller, per the above fee schedules, earns a higher fee
for management of equity portfolios, it has an economic incentive to allocate more of the client’s assets to
the higher paying asset class. ANY QUESTIONS: Roffman Miller’s Chief Compliance Officer, Paulette
Greenwell, remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have
regarding advisory fees, and conflict of interest.
As of November 1st, 2006, management fees will be computed in accordance with the following schedules:
Equities & Structured Products
1.00% First $2.0 Million
0.75% Next $5.0 Million
Negotiable Thereafter

Most clients have their fees deducted directly from their brokerage accounts. Fees are deducted four
times a year; April, July, October and January. It is the client’s responsibility to verify the accuracy of the
management fee calculation. The Broker/Dealer will not determine whether the fee is properly calculated.
Additional Fees
In addition to the management fee the client may incur certain brokerage fees: commissions to purchase
securities and certain mutual funds. These prices are set by the broker/dealer and may be higher than
the retail rate charged as a result of services provided by the broker/dealer. (See Brokerage Practices)
Roffman Miller will attempt to negotiate rates for our clients. A Prime Brokerage fee of $25 is charged to
purchase bonds away from Charles Schwab. Mutual Funds also charge management fees. When
Roffman Miller selects a mutual fund for clients the management fee charged by the fund is a
consideration. When possible, we choose institutional funds whose management fees are lower. We do
not buy funds that have a sales charge. A schedule of fees charged by the funds is available upon
request.
Miscellaneous fees to overnight or wire funds, issue securities, etc. may also be charged by the broker.
We do not participate in any of these fees.
ERISA clients’ rates are the same as any other client; there are no extra charges or fees.

METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES and RISK OF LOSS
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 8
Each portfolio is managed in accordance with the goals and risk tolerances of the individual client. Some
of the goals and constraints we evaluate are risk, return, taxes, time horizon, liquidity needs, legal issues,
and unique circumstances. An asset allocation target, equites vs fixed income and occasionally cash, is
used to help in managing the portfolio(s), in most cases there is flexibility in the targets on either side,
depending on the client and market conditions.
Our portfolios are mostly invested in stocks, bonds, ETF’s and mutual funds. In all cases, there are risks
of temporary or permanent loss on investments due to poor economic conditions, corporate bankruptcies,
and other unforeseen situations. We believe risk can be reduced in the portfolios by allocating monies to
different asset classes, owning a diversified portfolio, and also by careful investment selection.
The paragraphs below describe in more detail how we select these investments.
Research
The Investment Committee conducts its own research using all the data sources available to it. Our team
also understands the importance of going out and “kicking the tires,” and makes it a practice to have on-
going contact with company management, as much of it face-to-face as practicable, to understand their
businesses. Additionally, we solicit independent research opinions from several outside sources to assist
in our decisions.
Our research focuses on:
•
Identifying quality companies with a superior management team, clear plan for success,
proven track record and whose focus is on increasing shareholder value over the long term.
• Recognizing companies with favorable valuations based on such financial measures as
•
profits, book value and cash flow.
Industry leaders with a competitive advantage in size, price, intellectual property, technology,
geography or high barriers to entry.
• Selecting companies that not only have financial strength with solid sales earnings and
appropriate levels of debt, but also those which can persevere and take advantage of
opportunities that occur during difficult economic environments.
Our commitment to research and analysis does not stop once a company is identified or selected. We
pay close attention to and monitor each company’s progress.
Common Stock Management
Investing in quality companies which have superior management is the cornerstone of our investment
philosophy. Using the information gained from our fundamental analysis and in-depth client interview, we
select the most ideal companies from our potential list of investment candidates. We invest in stocks of
established companies that we feel are currently undervalued and those with the potential to increase
shareholder value over time.
In keeping with our guiding principles, our sell discipline is based on value and fundamentals. We look to
sell when:

• The security reaches a price indicating the potential for continued price appreciation may be
limited.
• Our fundamental reasons for owning the stock have changed.
• The individual stock is greater than 10% of the stock portfolio.
Diversification is important and we view it in terms of both company and industry investments. Our typical
equity accounts have between thirty and fifty stocks. We do not initially invest more than five percent in
one stock or twenty percent in one industry to avoid undue risk.
Fixed Income Management
We invest in a diverse mix of fixed income investments including individual bonds, taxable and tax-
exempt; fixed income funds, ETFs, and closed-end funds of varying assets and management styles; and
non-traditional fixed income investments like preferred stock to create a broadly diversified fixed income
portfolio to accomplish two primary goals:
• Current Income & Liquidity– Help meet the cash flow needs of our clients primarily by generating
a level of interest income equal with capital preservation and price stability.
• Portfolio Diversification – Fixed income investments serve well as a hedge against equity market
risk, reducing overall portfolio volatility and smoothing out the total long-term return of a portfolio.
While looking to accomplish our primary goals, we take strides in managing the risk side of our fixed
income portfolios as we do in our stock portfolios. There are many different types of risks involved in fixed
income investing to consider but the two primary concerns of ours are typically:
•
Interest Rate Risk – The price volatility of a fixed income investment or portfolio as it relates to
changes in market interest rates.
• Credit Risk – The risk that a bond issuer will not be able to meet the interest and principal
payments as scheduled and agreed upon in the bond offering.
To manage the risks involved with fixed income investing we:
Ladder the bonds to have maturities coming due annually.
•
• Broadly diversify portfolios by the type of assets, management style and security.
• Set individual position sizes relative to the size of the portfolio thereby limiting the effect of even
the worst-case scenario for any given position.
• We do not take “bets” on any given interest rate scenario that would involve over-allocating a
portfolio to benefit from a specific market outcome.
In general, we seek to preserve capital and generate income and returns in-line with prevailing market
conditions while understanding historical value in the fixed income markets. Although we purchase
investment grade bonds, there are instances where holdings are subsequently downgraded to non-
investment grade status during our holding period. We may choose to sell or hold those positions
depending on the circumstances in each case.
Mutual Fund and ETF Management
Mutual funds invest in diversified pools of stocks, bonds, or other securities. We look for mutual fund
managers that have proven track records and that are willing to communicate their strategy to us and are
also available to speak with us and provide updates from time to time. When looking for ETF’s liquid
funds with low fees are a priority.

OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFLIATIONS

Neither Roffman Miller nor its employees engage in any other financial industry or business activities or have any

CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 11
Pursuant to SEC rule 204A-1, we have a code of ethics policy. The basic principle of this policy is that;
since our clients place their trust in us, we have not only a fiduciary responsibility but an ethical
responsibility to behave with the utmost integrity and honesty. Before we do anything the question, “Is
this in the best interest of the Client?” should be foremost in our thoughts.
Some employees of the firm are either CFA Charter holders or Certified Financial Planners and are
bound by those organizations’ Codes of Ethics. See the Roffman Miller Supplemental Brochure.
Because our investment strategy is to evaluate and invest in companies on a long-term basis, employees
may purchase securities which are recommended to clients. There are restrictions placed on employees
as far as the timing of buying and/or selling of securities. These restrictions depend on the type of
security, the rating, the size and if the Chief investment Officer or Investment Committee states any other
reason for a particular security.
Personal accounts of the employee include all accounts for family members living within the employee’s
household and accounts over which the employee has authority even though the account owner does not
live within the same household as the employee.
Employees are required to report on a quarterly basis securities transactions and holdings for all accounts
in which the employee has a direct or indirect beneficial ownership interest. This includes personal
securities information of any family member living within the same household as the employee.
It is further noted that the firm and its employees shall comply with the Insider Trading and Securities
Fraud Enforcement Act of 1998. We forbid any officer, director, or employee from trading, either
personally or on behalf of others, (such as, mutual funds and private accounts managed by Roffman
Miller Associates, Inc.) on material nonpublic information or communicating material nonpublic information

BROKERAGE PRACTICES
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 12
Products and Services Available to us from Schwab Advisor Services™ is Schwab’s business serving
independent investment advisory firms like us. They provide us and our clients with access to its
institutional brokerage—trading, custody, reporting, and related services—many of which are not typically
available to Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes available various support services. Some of
those services help us manage or administer our clients’ accounts; while others help us manage and
grow our business. Schwab’s support services generally are available on an unsolicited basis (we don’t
have to request them) and at no charge to us as long as our clients collectively maintain a total of at least
$10 million of their assets in accounts at Schwab. If our clients collectively have less than $10 million in
assets at Schwab, Schwab may charge us quarterly service fees of $1,200.
Services That Benefit You
Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products,
execution of securities transactions, and custody of client assets. The investment products available
through Schwab include some to which we might not otherwise have access or that would require a
significantly higher minimum initial investment by our clients.
Services That May Not Directly Benefit You
Schwab also makes available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not directly
benefit you or your account. These products and services assist us in managing and administering our
clients’ accounts. They include investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of third parties. We may
use this research to service all or a substantial number of our clients’ accounts, including accounts not
maintained at Schwab. In addition to investment research, Schwab also makes available software and
other technology that:
• Provide access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account statements)
• Facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts
• Provide pricing and other market data
• Facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts
• Assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting
Services That Generally Benefit Only Us
Schwab also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business
enterprise. These services include:
• Educational conferences and events
• Consulting on technology, compliance, legal, and business needs
• Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession
• Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers
Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party vendors to
provide the services to us. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for some of these services or pay

all or a part of a third party’s fees. Schwab may also provide us with other benefits, such as occasional
business entertainment of our personnel.
Our Interest in Schwab’s Service
The availability of these services from Schwab benefits us because we do not have to produce or
purchase them. We do not have to pay for Schwab’s services so long as our clients collectively keep a
total of at least $10 million of their assets in accounts at Schwab. Beyond that, these services are not
contingent upon us committing any specific amount of business to Schwab in trading commissions or
assets in custody. The $10 million minimum may give us an incentive to recommend that you maintain
your account with Schwab, based on our interest in receiving Schwab’s services that benefit our business
rather than based on your interest in receiving the best value in custody services and the most favorable
execution of your transactions. This is a potential conflict of interest.
We believe, however, that our selection of Schwab as custodian and broker is in the best interests of our
clients. We have used Charles Schwab as our primary custodian/broker dealer since we first opened our
doors. They were the only discount broker offering this service, since then we have grown together. We
have investigated other services but have not found any that we like better or had more to offer. Our
selection is primarily supported by the scope, quality, and price of Schwab’s services (see “How We
Select Brokers/Custodians”) and not Schwab’s services that benefit only us. We have over
$1,500,000,000 in client assets at Schwab, and do not believe that recommending our clients to
collectively maintain at least $10 million of those assets at Schwab in order to avoid paying Schwab
quarterly service fees presents a material conflict of interest. We also participate in and receive benefits
from the Schwab Advisor Network program. See Client Referrals and other Compensation, for
information on this program.
We do not maintain custody of the assets that we manage although we may be deemed to have custody
of your assets if you give us authority to withdraw assets from your account (see “Custody”). Your assets
must be maintained in an account at a “qualified custodian,” generally a broker dealer or bank. We
recommend that our clients use Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), a registered broker-dealer,
member SIPC, as the qualified custodian. We are independently owned and operated and are not
affiliated with Schwab. Schwab will hold your assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell securities
when we instruct them to. While we recommend that you use Schwab as a custodian/broker, you will
decide whether to do so and will open your account with Schwab by entering into an account agreement
directly with them. We do not open the account for you, although we may assist you in doing so. Even
though your account is maintained at Schwab, we can still use other brokers to execute trades for your
account as described below (see “Your Brokerage and Custody Costs”).
We seek to use a custodian/broker who will hold your assets and execute transactions on terms that are,
overall, most advantageous when compared to other available providers and their services. We primarily
use Charles Schwab as the broker-dealer for all of its clients. We feel Charles Schwab not only provides
us with best execution they also have the following characteristics that we feel are necessary in a
broker/dealer and custodian:
• Good record keeping and excellent back office functions
• Knowledge of market, securities and industries
• Technological capabilities & infrastructure
• Combination of transaction execution services and asset custody services (generally without a
separate fee for custody)
• Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for your account)
• Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers, check
requests, bill payment, etc.)
• Breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds
[ETFs], etc.)
• Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment decisions

• Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, margin interest rates, other
fees, etc.) and willingness to negotiate the prices
• Reputation, financial strength, and stability
• Prior service to us and our other clients
• Availability of other products and services that benefit us, as discussed below (see “Products and
Services Available to Us From Schwab”)
The client in the end has the final say and may elect for their account(s) to be held at another custodian.
Directed Brokerage
From time to time, clients may instruct us to direct trades to a specific broker-dealer in exchange for
certain benefits to be received by the client or out of loyalty to the broker. There could be certain
limitations associated with these types’ arrangements:
1. The client may forgo any benefit from savings on execution costs that we could obtain for other
clients, such as negotiating volume discounts on bunched orders; and
2. The client may not receive the same price or commission paid by other clients who utilize
different brokers.
As a matter of practice even with client-directed accounts we will make our best efforts to negotiate
reduced commission rates when possible.
Trade Aggregation
We strive to treat all clients in a fair manner. This is the basic principle underlying this aggregation and
allocation policy. The allocations of a particular security will be determined by us before the trade is
placed with the broker. When practical, client trades in the same security will be bunched in a single order
(a “block”) in an effort to obtain best execution at the best security price available. When using a block
trade:
• We will attempt to fill client orders by day-end.
•
If the block order is not filled by day-end, the Investment Committee will allocate shares executed
to underlying accounts on a pro rata basis, adjusted as necessary to keep client transaction costs
to a minimum and in accordance with specific account guidelines.
•
If a block order is filled (full or partial fill) at several prices through multiple trades, an average
price and commission will be used for all trades executed.
• All participants receiving securities from the block trade will receive the average price; and only
trades executed within the block on the single day may be combined for purposes of calculating
the average price.
It is expected that this trade aggregation and allocation policy will be applied consistently. However, if
application of this policy results in unfair or inequitable treatment to some or all of our clients, we may
deviate from this policy.

minimum client accounts are reviewed at length quarterly. Accounts are assigned to a primary manager,
but any member of the committee may at one time or another review or discuss a portfolio with a client.
The number of clients assigned depends on the experience of the manager, account size and style of
investing. The Investment Committee typically meets weekly to ensure we are all up-to-date on what is
happening in the markets, our securities, the economy and the world and how it could effect our clients.
Factors which might trigger additional reviews include (1) a substantial change in the financial condition or
business management of a particular company; (2) a big move in a security either up or down; (3) a
substantial change in the economy or market conditions; (4 ) a significant change in clients' objectives; or
(5) a deposit or withdrawal of cash.
Depending on the client’s advisory agreement we may provide a quarterly report showing all holdings and
their current value, income generated by holdings, and cost basis, etc. If you receive statements from
both Roffman Miller and Charles Schwab, we urge you to compare the values on both statements to
make sure they match. Compare the numbers without accrued interest, as these calcuations may vary.
Realized Gains and Losses reports, statements of Management Fees on taxable accounts and various
other portfolio reports are available to clients on request. In addition, it is expected that each client will
receive confirmations of trades and monthly reports from the broker-dealers who custody their accounts
and execute their securites transactions.(see “Custody”)
CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 14
We periodically use research information provided by broker-dealers with whom we conduct business.
However, we do not have any formal agreements to compensate broker-dealers for the receipt of such
research information. We as a matter of practice do not compensate broker-dealers for third-party
research services (known as “soft dollar arrangements”) with the use of client commissions, any payment
required for such research will be made in cash.
Charles Schwab
We receive an economic benefit from Schwab in the form of the support products and services it makes
available to us and other independent investment advisors whose clients maintain their accounts at
Schwab.
These products and services, how they benefit us, and the related conflicts of interest are described
above (see Brokerage Practices). The availability to us of Schwab’s products and services is not based
on us giving particular investment advice, such as buying particular securities for our client.
We also receive client referrals from Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) through our participation in
Schwab Advisor Network® (“the Service”). The Service is designed to help investors find an independent
investment advisor. Schwab is a broker-dealer independent of and unaffiliated with Roffman Miller
Associates. Schwab does not supervise us and has no responsibility for the management of our clients’
portfolios. We pay Schwab fees to receive client referrals through the Service. Our participation in the
Service may raise potential conflicts of interest described below.
We pay Schwab Participation Fees on all referred clients’ accounts that are maintained in custody at
Schwab and a Non-Schwab Custody Fee on all accounts that are maintained at, or transferred to,
another custodian.

Participation Fees are a percentage of the value of the assets in the client’s account. We pay Schwab
Participation Fees for so long as the referred client’s account remains in custody at Schwab. Participation
Fees are billed to us quarterly and may be increased, decreased or waived by Schwab from time to time.
Participation Fees are paid by us and not by the client. We do not charge clients referred through the
Service fees or costs greater than the fees or costs we charge clients with similar portfolios who were not
referred through the Service.
We generally pay Schwab a Non-Schwab Custody Fee if custody of a referred client’s account is not
maintained by, or assets in the account are transferred from Schwab. This Fee does not apply if the
client was solely responsible for the decision not to maintain custody at Schwab. The Non-Schwab
Custody Fee is a one-time payment equal to a percentage of the assets placed with a custodian other
than Schwab. The Non-Schwab Custody Fee is higher than the Participation Fees Advisor generally
would pay in a single year. Thus, we will have an incentive to recommend that client accounts be held in
custody at Schwab.
The Participation and Non-Schwab Custody Fees are based on the amount of assets in accounts of our
clients who were referred by Schwab and those referred clients’ family members living in the same
household. Thus, we will have incentives to encourage household members of clients referred through
the Service to maintain custody of their accounts at Schwab.
For accounts of our clients maintained in custody at Schwab, Schwab generally does not charge the
client separately for custody but receives compensation from the client in the form of commissions or
other transaction-related compensation on securities trades Schwab executes for the client’s account.
Clients also pay Schwab a fee for clearance and settlement of trades executed through broker-dealers
other than Schwab. Schwab’s fees for trades executed at other broker-dealers are in addition to the other
broker-dealer’s fees. Thus, we may have an incentive to cause trades to be executed through Schwab
rather than another broker-dealer. We, nevertheless, acknowledge its duty to seek best execution of
trades for client accounts. Trades for client accounts held in custody at Schwab may be executed through
a different broker-dealer than trades for our other clients. Thus, trades for accounts custodied at Schwab
may be executed at different times and different prices than trades for accounts that are executed at other
broker-dealers.
We manage accounts for some Charles Schwab employees and/or their family members. This could be a
conflict as the Charles Schwab employees are the ones referring us to potential new clients.
Solicitors
We may pay cash referral fees to either affiliates (such as employees) or unaffiliated entities that directly
or indirectly solicit any client for or refer any client to us. For purposes of this policy, affiliated entities
include any partner, officer, director or employee of Roffman Miller Associates. Any client referred to us
by an unaffiliated solicitor is notified before signing a contract and must acknowledge the arrangement in
writing. None of our unaffiliate solicitors provide investment advice to prospective clients, they make
introductions only.
CUSTODY
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 15
Under SEC rules, we are deemed to have custody of clients’ assets if any one of the following is true:
authorization to the custodian to deduct advisory fees directly from client accounts; acting as a Trustee on
a client account; coming into possession of certain client assets such as stock certificates or by having
the authority to make standing third-party distributions for clients.

Roffman Miller Associates Inc.
From ADV Part 2A
Brochure
At this point we are not the Trustees on any client accounts, and we have policies in place to prevent the
possession of clients’ physical assets. We do, however, deduct the majority of management fees directly
from client accounts and for some clients we have the authority to make standing third-party distributions.
Because of this Roffman Miller has custody under the SEC rule.
In order to deduct fees or make distributions the client must give written authorization using the
custodian’s forms. Clients may make some changes or cancel the instructions through Roffman Miller or
directly with the custodian at any time. Roffman Miller may not under any circumstances change the
identity of any third party. Changes may require new written authorization. For third party distributions, the
custodian will provide the client with a letter at setup detailing the instructions and an annual letter
confirming the instructions.
Clients will also receive monthly account statements directly from the custodian. The statements will
come quarterly if there is no account activity. They will be sent to the email or postal mailing address
provided to the custodian. Carefully review the statements promptly when received. Notify Roffman Miller
immediately if the custodial statements have not arrived. Depending on the advisory agreement, Roffman
Miller may also provide a quarterly report showing all holdings. If this is the case, please compare the
custodians’ account statements to the periodic portfolio reports received from Roffman Miller.
INVESTMENT DISCRETION
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 16
We have investment discretion to manage client’s accounts. Meaning we have the authority to place all
orders to purchase and sell securities in accordance with the client’s portfolio and investment objectives
and taking into account any contractual restrictions or exceptions. We can also provide investment advice
to clients on a non-discretionary basis. Non-discretionary arrangements are made on an individual basis
and give us varying amounts of control over investment decisions.
Best execution could be affected for non-discretionary accounts. If a non-discretionary client cannot be
reached a trade may not be made during the same time frame as other clients, thus affecting price. We
will make every effort to contact clients in a reasonable amount of time.
VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 17
We do not vote proxies for our clients. As stated in the contract, it is the responsibility of the client to vote.
Clients will receive proxy voting materials from their Broker Dealer. The proxy materials will come either in
paper form or electronically, the same form of delivery chosen for statements and confirms. We will,
however, answer any questions or give you advice on voting.

• Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The

• Experience – Complete at least three years of full-time financial planning-related
experience (or the equivalent, measured as 2,000 hours per year); and
• Ethics – Agree to be bound by CFP Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct, a set of

The Standards prominently require that CFP® professionals provide financial planning
services at a fiduciary standard of care. This means CFP® professionals must provide

subject to CFP Board’s enforcement process, which could result in suspension or permanent
revocation of their CFP® certification.

credential established in 1962 and awarded by CFA Institute — the largest global association of

Global Recognition
Passing the three CFA exams is a difficult feat that requires extensive study (successful
candidates report spending an average of 300 hours of study per level). Earning the CFA
charter demonstrates mastery of many of the advanced skills needed for investment
analysis and decision making in today’s quickly evolving global financial industry. As a result,
employers and clients are increasingly seeking CFA charterholders—often making the
charter a prerequisite for employment.
Additionally, regulatory bodies in 19 countries recognize the CFA charter as a proxy for meeting
certain licensing requirements, and more than 125 colleges and universities around the world
have incorporated a majority of the CFA Program curriculum into their own finance courses.
Comprehensive and Current Knowledge
The CFA Program curriculum provides a comprehensive framework of knowledge for
investment decision making and is firmly grounded in the knowledge and skills used every
day in the investment profession. The three levels of the CFA Program test a proficiency with
a wide range of fundamental and advanced investment topics, including ethical and
professional standards, fixed-income and equity analysis, alternative and derivative
investments, economics, financial reporting standards, portfolio management, and wealth
planning.
The CFA Program curriculum is updated every year by experts from around the world to
ensure that candidates learn the most relevant and practical new tools, ideas, and
investment and wealth management skills to reflect the dynamic and complex nature of the
profession. To learn more about the CFA charter, visit www.cfainstitute.org.

Passing the three CFA exams is a difficult feat that requires extensive study (successful

charter demonstrates mastery of many of the advanced skills needed for investment
analysis and decision making in today’s quickly evolving global financial industry. As a result,
employers and clients are increasingly seeking CFA charterholders—often making the

The CFA Program curriculum provides a comprehensive framework of knowledge for
investment decision making and is firmly grounded in the knowledge and skills used every
day in the investment profession. The three levels of the CFA Program test a proficiency with
a wide range of fundamental and advanced investment topics, including ethical and
professional standards, fixed-income and equity analysis, alternative and derivative
investments, economics, financial reporting standards, portfolio management, and wealth
planning.

ensure that candidates learn the most relevant and practical new tools, ideas, and
investment and wealth management skills to reflect the dynamic and complex nature of the
profession. To learn more about the CFA charter, visit www.cfainstitute.org.
