The investment advisory services of RMG are provided to you through an appropriately licensed
individual who is an investment adviser representative of RMG (referred to as your investment adviser
representative throughout this brochure).
Your investment adviser representative is limited to providing the services and charging investment
advisory fees in accordance with the descriptions detailed in this brochure. [However, the exact services
you receive and the fees you will be charged will be specified in your advisory services agreement.]]
Description of Advisory Services
The following are descriptions of the primary advisory services of Rosemeyer Management Group.
Please understand that a written agreement, which details the exact terms of the service, must be signed
by you and RMG before we can provide you the services described below.
Asset Management Services – RMG offers asset management services, which involves RMG providing
you with continuous and ongoing supervision over your specified accounts.
You must appoint our firm as your investment adviser of record on specified accounts (collectively, the
“Account”). The Account consists only of separate account(s) held by qualified custodian(s) under your
name. The qualified custodians maintain physical custody of all funds and securities of the Account, and
you retain all rights of ownership (e.g., right to withdraw securities or cash, exercise or delegate proxy
voting and receive transaction confirmations) of the Account.
The Account is managed by us based on your financial situation, investment objectives and risk
tolerance. We actively monitor the Account and provide advice regarding buying, selling, reinvesting or
holding securities, cash or other investments of the Account.
We will need to obtain certain information from you to determine your financial situation and investment
objectives. You will be responsible for notifying us of any updates regarding your financial situation, risk
tolerance or investment objective and whether you wish to impose or modify existing investment
restrictions; however we will contact you at least annually to discuss any changes or updates regarding
your financial situation, risk tolerance or investment objectives. We are always reasonably available to
consult with you relative to the status of your Account. You have the ability to impose reasonable
RMG Wealth Management, LLC
Page 4
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
restrictions on the management of your accounts, including the ability to instruct us not to purchase
certain securities.
It is important that you understand that we manage investments for other clients and give them advice or
take actions for them or for our personal accounts that is different from the advice we provide to you or
actions taken for you. We are not obligated to buy, sell or recommend to you any security or other
investment that we may buy, sell or recommend for any other clients or for our own accounts.
Conflicts arise in the allocation of investment opportunities among accounts that we manage. We strive to
allocate investment opportunities believed to be appropriate for your account(s) and other accounts
advised by our firm among such accounts equitably and consistent with the best interests of all accounts
involved. However, there can be no assurance that a particular investment opportunity that comes to our
attention will be allocated in any particular manner. If we obtain material, non-public information about a
security or its issuer that we cannot lawfully use or disclose, we have absolutely no obligation to disclose
the information to any client or use it for any client’s benefit.
Financial Planning Services - RMG offers financial planning services, which involve preparing a written
financial plan covering specific or multiple topics. When providing financial planning services, the role of
your investment adviser representative is to find ways to help you understand your overall financial
situation and help you set financial objectives. Written financial plans prepared by us do not include
specific recommendations of individual securities.
Our financial planning services do not involve implementing any transaction on your behalf or the active
and ongoing monitoring or management of your investments or accounts. You have the sole responsibility
for determining whether to implement our financial planning recommendations. To the extent that you
would like to implement any of our investment recommendations through RMG or retain RMG to actively
monitor and manage your investments, you must execute a separate written agreement with RMG for our
asset management services.
Retirement Plan Services - RMG offers retirement plan services to retirement plan sponsors and to
individual participants in retirement plans. For a corporate sponsor of a retirement plan, our retirement
plan services can include, but are not limited to, the following services:
Fiduciary Consulting Services
RMG provides the following Fiduciary Retirement Plan Consulting Services:
•
Investment Policy Statement Preparation. RMG will help you develop an investment policy
statement. The investment policy statement establishes the investment policies and objectives for
the Plan. You will have the ultimate responsibility and authority to establish such policies and
objectives and to adopt and amend the investment policy statement.
• Non-Discretionary Investment Advice. RMG will provide you with general, non-discretionary
investment advice regarding assets classes and investment options, consistent with your Plan’s
investment policy statement.
•
Investment Selection Services. RMG will provide you with recommendations of investment
options consistent with ERISA section 404(c).
RMG Wealth Management, LLC
Page 5
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
•
Investment Due Diligence Review. RMG will provide you with periodic due diligence reviews of
the Plan’s reports, investment options and recommendations.
•
Investment Monitoring. RMG will assist in monitoring investment options by preparing periodic
investment reports that document investment performance, consistency of fund management and
conformation to the guidelines set forth in the investment policy statement and RMG will make
recommendations to maintain or remove and replace investment options.
• Default Investment Alternative Advice. RMG will provide you with non-discretionary investment
advice to assist you with the development of qualified default investment alternative(s) (“QDIA”),
as defined in DOL Reg. Section 2550.404c-5(e)(4)(i), for participants who are automatically
enrolled in the Plan or who otherwise fail to make an investment election. You will retain the sole
responsibility to provide all notices to participants required under ERISA section 404(c)(5).
•
Individualized Participant Advice. Upon request, RMG will provide one-on-one advice to Plan
participants regarding their individual situations.
For Fiduciary Consulting Services, all recommendations of investment options and portfolios will be
submitted to you for your ultimate approval or rejection. For retirement plan Fiduciary Consulting
Services, the retirement plan sponsor client or the plan participant who elects to implement any
recommendations made by us is solely responsible for implementing all transactions.
Fiduciary Consulting Services are not management services, and RMG does not serve as administrator
or trustee of the plan. RMG does not act as custodian for any client account or have access to client
funds or securities (with the exception of, some accounts, having written authorization from the client to
deduct our fees).
RMG acknowledges that in performing the Fiduciary Consulting Services listed above that it is acting as a
“fiduciary” as such term is defined under Section 3(21)(A)(ii) of Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974 (“ERISA”) for purposes of providing non-discretionary investment advice only. RMG will act in a
manner consistent with the requirements of a fiduciary under ERISA if, based upon the facts and
circumstances, such services cause RMG to be a fiduciary as a matter of law. However, in providing the
Fiduciary Consulting Services, RMG (a) has no responsibility and will not (i) exercise any discretionary
authority or discretionary control respecting management of Client’s retirement plan, (ii) exercise any
authority or control respecting management or disposition of assets of Client’s retirement plan, or (iii)
have any discretionary authority or discretionary responsibility in the administration of Client’s retirement
plan or the interpretation of Client’s retirement plan documents, (b) is not an “investment manager” as
defined in Section 3(38) of ERISA and does not have the power to manage, acquire or dispose of any
plan assets, and (c) is not the “Administrator” of Client’s retirement plan as defined in ERISA.
Non-Fiduciary Services
Although an investment adviser is considered a fiduciary under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and
required to meet the fiduciary duties as defined by the Advisers Act, the services listed here as non-
fiduciary should not be considered fiduciary services for the purposes of ERISA since Advisor is not
acting as a fiduciary to the Plan as the term “fiduciary” is defined in Section 3(21)(A)(ii) of ERISA. The
exact suite of services provided to a client will be listed and detailed in the Qualified Retirement Plan
Agreement.
RMG Wealth Management, LLC

RMG provides clients with the following Non-Fiduciary Retirement Plan Consulting Services:
• Participant Education. RMG will provide education services to Plan participants about general
investment principles and the investment alternatives available under the Plan. Rosemeyer
Management Group’s assistance in participant investment education will be consistent with and
within the scope of DOL Interpretive Bulletin 96-1. Education presentations will not take into
account the individual circumstances of each participant and individual recommendations will not
be provided unless otherwise agreed upon. Plan participants are responsible for implementing
transactions in their own accounts.
• Participant Enrollment. RMG will assist you with group enrollment meetings designed to increase
retirement plan participation among employees and investment and financial understanding by
the employees.
• Qualified Plan Development. RMG will assist you with the establishment of a qualified plan by
working with you and a selected Third Party Administrator. If you have not already selected a
Third Party Administrator, we shall assist you with the review and selection of a Third Party
Administrator for the Plan.
• Due Diligence Review. RMG will provide you with periodic due diligence reviews of your Plan’s
fees and expenses and your Plan’s service providers.
• Fiduciary File Set-up. RMG will help you establish a “fiduciary file” for the Plan which contains
trust documents, custodial/brokerage statements, investment performance reports, services
agreements with investment management vendors, the investment policy statement, investment
committee minutes, asset allocation/asset liability studies, due diligence fields on funds/money
managers and monitoring procedures for funds and/or money managers.
• Benchmarking. RMG will provide you benchmarking services and will provide analysis concerning
the operations of the Plan.
We can also meet with individual participants to discuss their specific investment risk tolerance,
investment time frame and investment selections.
Securities and other types of investments all bear different types and levels of risk. Those risks are
typically discussed with clients in defining the investment policies and objectives that will guide
investment decisions for their qualified plan accounts. Upon request, as part of our retirement plan
services, we can discuss those investments and investment strategies that we believe tend to reduce
these risks for a particular client’s circumstances and plan participants.
Clients and plan participants must realize that obtaining higher rates of return on investments entails
accepting higher levels of risk. Based upon discussions with the client, we will attempt to identify the
balance of risks and rewards that is appropriate and comfortable for the client and other employees. It is
still the clients’ responsibility to ask questions if the client does not fully understand the risks associated
with any investment. All plan participants are strongly encouraged to read prospectuses, when applicable,
and ask questions prior to investing.
We strive to render our best judgment for clients. Still, RMG cannot assure that investments will be
profitable or assure that no losses will occur in their portfolios. Past performance is an important
consideration with respect to any investment or investment advisor, but it is not necessarily an accurate
predictor of future performance.

RMG will disclose, to the extent required by ERISA Regulation Section 2550.408b-2(c), to you any
change to the information that we are required to disclose under ERISA Regulation Section 2550.408b-
2(c)(1)(iv) as soon as practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days from the date on which we are
informed of the change (unless such disclosure is precluded due to extraordinary circumstances beyond
our control, in which case the information will be disclose as soon as practicable).
In accordance with ERISA Regulation Section 2550.408b-2(c)(vi)(A), we will disclose within thirty (30)
days following receipt of a written request from the responsible plan fiduciary or Plan Administrator
(unless such disclose is precluded due to extraordinary circumstances beyond our control, in which case
the information will be disclosed as soon as practicable) all information related to the Qualified Retirement
Plan Agreement and any compensation or fees received in connection with the Agreement that is
required for the Plan to comply with the reporting and disclosure requirements of Title 1 of ERISA and the
regulations, forms and schedules issued thereunder.
If we make an unintentional error or omission in disclosing the information required under ERISA
Regulation Section 2550.408b-2(c)(1)(iv) or (vi), we will disclose to you the correct information as soon as
practicable, but no later than thirty (30) days from the date on which we learns of such error or omission.]
Retirement Plan Rollover Recommendations - To the extent we recommend you roll over your account
from a current retirement plan to an individual retirement account (“Rollover IRA”), managed by RMG
please know that RMG and our investment adviser representatives have a conflict of interest.
We can earn increased investment advisory fees by recommending that you roll over your account at the
retirement plan to a Rollover IRA managed by Rosemeyer Management Group. We will earn fewer
investment advisory fees if you do not roll over the funds in the retirement plan to a Rollover IRA
managed by Rosemeyer Management Group.
Thus, our investment adviser representatives have an economic incentive to recommend a rollover of
funds from a retirement plan to a Rollover IRA which is a conflict of interest because our recommendation
that you open an IRA account to be managed by our firm can be based on our economic incentive and
not based exclusively on whether or not moving the IRA to our management program is in your overall
best interest. We have taken steps to manage this conflict of interest. we have adopted an impartial
conduct standard whereby our investment adviser representatives will (i) provide investment advice to a
retirement plan participant regarding a rollover of funds from the retirement plan in accordance with the
fiduciary status described below, (ii) not recommend investments which result in RMG receiving
unreasonable compensation related to the rollover of funds from the retirement plan to a Rollover IRA,
and (iii) fully disclose compensation received by RMG and our supervised persons and any material
conflicts of interest related to recommending the rollover of funds from the retirement plan to a Rollover
IRA and refrain from making any materially misleading statements regarding such rollover.
To the extent we provide you investment advice as a participant in a retirement plan regarding whether to
maintain investments and/or proceeds in the retirement plan, roll over such investment/proceeds from the
retirement plan to a Rollover IRA or make a distribution from the retirement plan, RMG here by
acknowledges our fiduciary obligations to you with regard to our investment advice about whether to
maintain, roll over or distribute proceeds from the retirement plan, and as such a fiduciary with respect to
its investment advice to you about whether to maintain, roll over or distribute proceeds from the
retirement plan.

Our investment advisor representatives shall act with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the
circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such
matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims, based on the

Tailor Advisory Services to Individual Needs of Clients

This means, for example, that when we provide asset management services, you are given the ability to

sectors. We work with you on a one-on-one basis through interviews and questionnaires to determine
your investment objectives and suitability information. Our financial planning services are always provided

on-one basis through interviews and questionnaires to determine your investment objectives and
suitability information.

objectives may be considered incompatible with our investment philosophy or strategies or where the
prospective client seeks to impose unduly restrictive investment guidelines.

As of December 31, 2024, Rosemeyer Management Group had discretionary assets under management

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
In addition to the information provided in Item 4 – Advisory Business, this section provides additional
details regarding our firm’s services along with descriptions of each service’s fees and compensation
arrangements. It should be noted that lower fees for comparable service may be available from other
sources. The exact fees and other terms will be outlined in the agreement between you and Rosemeyer
Management Group.
Asset Management Services
Fees charged for our asset management services are charged based on a percentage of assets under
management, billed in arrears (at the end of the billing period) on a quarterly calendar basis and
calculated based on the fair market value of your account as of the last business day of the current billing
period. Fees are prorated (based on the number of days service is provided during the initial billing
period) for your account opened at any time other than the beginning of the billing period. If asset
management services are commenced in the middle of the billing period, then the prorated fee for that
billing period will be billed in arrears at the end of that billing period.
The asset management services continue in effect until terminated by either party (i.e., RMG or you) by
providing written notice of termination to the other party. When fees are billed in arrears, RMG will prorate
the final fee payment based on the number of days services are provided during the final period. The
amount of client assets on the termination date will be used to determine the final fee payment.
Fees charged for our asset management services are negotiable based on the investment adviser
representative providing the services, the type of client, the complexity of the client's situation, the
composition of the client's account (i.e., equities versus mutual funds), the potential for additional account
deposits, the relationship of the client with the investment adviser representative, and the total amount of
assets under management for the client.
For our asset management services the annual fee will range up to a maximum of 1.50%. The actual
management fee to be charged will be specified in your client agreement.
RMG Wealth Management, LLC
Page 10
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
RMG believes that its annual fee is reasonable in relation to: (1) services provided and (2) the fees
charged by other investment advisers offering similar services/programs. However, our annual investment
advisory fee may be higher than that charged by other investment advisers offering similar
services/programs. In addition to our compensation, you can also incur charges imposed at the mutual
fund level (e.g., advisory fees and other fund expenses).
The investment advisory fees will be deducted from your account and paid directly to our firm by the
qualified custodian(s) of your account. You will authorize the qualified custodian(s) of your account to
deduct fees from your account and pay such fees directly to our firm.
You should review your account statements received from the qualified custodian(s) and verify that
appropriate investment advisory fees are being deducted. The qualified custodian(s) will not verify the
accuracy of the investment advisory fees deducted.
Brokerage expenses and/or transaction fees charged by the qualified custodian are billed directly to you
by the qualified custodian. RMG does not receive any portion of such commissions or fees from you or
the qualified custodian. In addition, you will incur certain charges imposed by third parties other than
RMG in connection with investments made through your account including, but not limited to, mutual fund
sales loads, 12(b)-1 fees and surrender charges, variable annuity fees and surrender charges, IRA and
qualified retirement plan fees, and charges imposed by the qualified custodian(s) of your account.
Management fees charged by RMG are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by
investment company securities that may be recommended to you. A description of these fees and
expenses are available in each investment company security’s prospectus.
Financial Planning Services
Fees charged for our financial planning services are negotiable based upon the type of client, the
services requested, the investment adviser representative providing advice, the complexity of the client's
situation, the composition of the client's account and other advisory services provided. The following are
the fee arrangements available for financial planning services offered by Rosemeyer Management Group.
Fees for Financial Planning Services
Financial Planning Services are provided to our asset management clients on a complimentary basis
(without any additional charges).
For clients that do not participate in our asset management services RMG provides financial planning
services under a fixed fee arrangement. A mutually agreed upon fixed fee is charged for financial
planning services under this arrangement. There is a range in the amount of the fixed fee charged by
RMG for financial planning services. The minimum fixed fee is generally $500, and the maximum fixed fee
is generally no more than $5000. Financial Planning fees may be charged in a number of different ways.
A flat fee charge would be defined as typically a one-time fee that is determined by the advisor and client
to be appropriate for the services the advisor is providing to the client. Examples include Financial plan,
settling an estate, portfolio analysis and review of employer sponsored 401k. However, at no time will
RMG require payment of more than $1,200 in fees more than six months in advance. The hourly fee
would be defined as a fee charged based on the number of hours worked by the advisor or advisor's
office to complete advisory services a client needs. The usual rates are $100 to $500 per hour on various
RMG Wealth Management, LLC

going forward. Paying for ongoing financial advice from the advisor or a third-party service that can be
canceled at any time without a termination fee.
The fees for the financial planning services may be waived by RMG at our sole discretion.
Financial Planning Fees charged are separate from any fees and expenses charged by mutual funds to
their shareholders if Client invests in mutual funds due in part to the services under this Agreement.
These fees and expenses are described in each mutual fund’s prospectus. These fees will generally
include a management fee, other fund expenses and a possible distribution fee (known as 12(b)-1 fees).
If the mutual fund also imposes sales charges, Client may pay an initial or deferred sales charge. RMG
does not receive any portion of any fees or expenses charged by the Mutual Fund company.
In addition, if Client decides to invest through a qualified custodian due in part to the services under this
Agreement, the qualified custodian or broker-dealer executing certain transaction will charge
commissions for implementing transactions. RMG does not receive any portion of any fees to transaction
charges imposed by the account custodian.
To the extent RMG provides you with general investment recommendations as part of the financial
planning services and you implement such investment recommendations through Rosemeyer
Management Group, we may offer in our agreement with you to waive or reduce the fees for financial
planning services.
The financial planning services terminate upon delivery of the written financial plan or upon either party
providing the other party with written notice of termination.
If you terminate the financial planning services after entering into an agreement with us, you will be
responsible for immediate payment of any financial planning services performed by RMG prior to the
receipt by RMG of your notice of termination. For financial planning services performed by RMG under a
fixed fee arrangement, you will pay RMG a pro-rated fixed fee equivalent to the percentage of work
completed by RMG as determined by Rosemeyer Management Group. In the event that there is a
remaining balance of any fees paid in advance after the deduction of fees from the final invoice, those
remaining proceeds will be refunded by RMG to you.
Other Fee Terms for Financial Planning Services

directly (for example, by check). You should notify RMG within ten (10) days of receipt of an invoice if you
have questions about or dispute any billing entry.

accountant) while providing financial planning services to you, RMG will be responsible for the payment of
the fees for the services of such an outside professional, and you will not be required to reimburse RMG
for such payments. To the extent that you personally engage such an outside professional, you will be
responsible for the payment of the fees for the services of such an outside professional, and RMG will not
be required to reimburse Client for such payments. Fees for the services of an outside professional (i.e.

amount of the fixed fee will be specified in you agreement with Rosemeyer Management Group. At our
sole discretion you may be required to pay a portion of the fixed fee up front in the form of a retainer;
however, at no time will we require payment of more than $1,200 in fees more than six months in
advance. Upon completion of the services, the fixed fee is considered earned by RMG and any unpaid
amount is immediately due.
If RMG charges an annual fee based upon the value of the plan assets, we charge an annual fee of up to
2%.
For retirement plan sponsors and participants, fees are billed in arrears (at the end of the billing period)
on a quarterly calendar basis and calculated based on the fair market value of your account as of the last
business day of the current billing period. Fees are prorated (based on the number of days service is
provided during the initial billing period) for your account opened at any time other than the beginning of
the billing period. Retirement plan sponsors may also elect to pay all or a portion of fees for the
individualized services provided by us to the plan participants.
Clients can elect to have the fee deducted from their account or billed directly and due upon receipt of the
billing notice. If clients elect to have the fee automatically deducted from an existing account, they are
required to provide the custodian with written authorization to deduct the fees from the account and pay
the fees to Rosemeyer Management Group. We will provide the custodian with a fee notification
statement.
Either party may terminate services by providing written notice of termination to the other party. If services
are terminated within five business days of signing the client agreement, services are terminated without

penalty. Any prepaid but unearned fees are promptly refunded to the client at the effective date of
termination.
RMG does not reasonably expect to receive any other compensation, direct or indirect, for its Services. If
we receive any other compensation for such services, we will (i) offset that compensation against our
stated fees, and (ii) will disclose the amount of such compensation, the services rendered for such
compensation and the payer of such compensation to you.

Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
RMG uses the following methods of analysis in formulating investment advice:
Cyclical – This method analyzes the investments sensitive to business cycles and whose
performance is strongly tied to the overall economy. For example, cyclical companies tend to
RMG Wealth Management, LLC
Page 14
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
make products or provide services that are in lower demand during downturns in the economy
and in higher demand during upswings. Examples include the automobile, steel, and housing
industries. The stock price of a cyclical company will often rise just before an economic upturn
begins, and fall just before a downturn begins. Investors in cyclical stocks try to make the largest
gains by buying the stock at the bottom of a business cycle, just before a turnaround begins.
While most economists and investors agree that there are cycles in the economy that need to be
respected, the duration of such cycles is generally unknown. An investment decision to buy at the
bottom of a business cycle may actually turn out to be a trade that occurs before or after the
bottom of the cycle. If done before the bottom, then downside price action can result prior to any
gains. If done after the bottom, then some upside price action may be missed. Similarly, a sell
decision meant to occur at the top of a cycle may result in missed opportunity or unrealized
losses.
Fundamental – This is a method of evaluating a security by attempting to measure its intrinsic
value by examining related economic, financial and other qualitative and quantitative factors.
Fundamental analysts attempt to study everything that can affect the security's value, including
macroeconomic factors (like the overall economy and industry conditions) and individually
specific factors (like the financial condition and management of a company). The end goal of
performing fundamental analysis is to produce a value that an investor can compare with the
security's current price in hopes of figuring out what sort of position to take with that security
(underpriced = buy, overpriced = sell or short). Fundamental analysis is considered to be the
opposite of technical analysis. Fundamental analysis is about using real data to evaluate a
security's value. Although most analysts use fundamental analysis to value stocks, this method of
valuation can be used for just about any type of security.
The risk associated with fundamental analysis is that it is somewhat subjective. While a
quantitative approach is possible, fundamental analysis usually entails a qualitative assessment
of how market forces interact with one another in their impact on the investment in question. It is
possible for those market forces to point in different directions, thus necessitating an
interpretation of which forces will be dominant. This interpretation may be wrong, and could
therefore lead to an unfavorable investment decision.
Technical – This is a method of evaluating securities by analyzing statistics generated by market
activity, such as past prices and volume. Technical analysts do not attempt to measure a
security's intrinsic value, but instead use charts and other tools to identify patterns that can
suggest future activity. Technical analysts believe that the historical performance of stocks and
markets are indications of future performance.
Technical analysis is even more subjective than fundamental analysis in that it relies on proper
interpretation of a given security's price and trading volume data. A decision might be made
based on a historical move in a certain direction that was accompanied by heavy volume;
however, that heavy volume may only be heavy relative to past volume for the security in
question, but not compared to the future trading volume. Therefore, there is the risk of a trading
decision being made incorrectly since future trading volume is an unknown. Technical analysis is
also done through observation of various market sentiment readings, many of which are
quantitative. Market sentiment gauges the relative degree of bullishness and bearishness in a
given security, and a contrarian investor utilizes such sentiment advantageously. When most
RMG Wealth Management, LLC
Page 15
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
traders are bullish, then there are very few traders left in a position to buy the security in question,
so it becomes advantageous to sell it ahead of the crowd. When most traders are bearish, then
there are very few traders left in a position to sell the security in question, so it becomes
advantageous to buy it ahead of the crowd. The risk in utilization of such sentiment technical
measures is that a very bullish reading can always become more bullish, resulting in lost
opportunity if the money manager chooses to act upon the bullish signal by selling out of a
position. The reverse is also true in that a bearish reading of sentiment can always become more
bearish, which may result in a premature purchase of a security.
There are risks involved in using any analysis method.
Investment Strategies
RMG uses the following investment strategies when managing client assets and/or providing investment
advice:
Long term purchases - Investments held at least a year.
Short term purchases - Investments sold within a year.
Value-Investing - we primarily follow a value-investing strategy that attempts to acquire at
reasonable valuations publicly traded businesses that can deliver sustainable excess returns. We
focus on a long-only strategy. Long term strategies are designed to identify and select
investments to be held for multiple years. We will also invest in value oriented special situations
with shorter expected holding periods.
Value Investing can be described as a strategy of selecting stocks that trade for less than their
intrinsic values. Value investors typically seek stocks of companies that they believe the market
has undervalued. They believe the market overreacts to good and bad news, resulting in stock
price movements that do not correspond with the company's long-term fundamentals. The result
is an opportunity for value investors to profit by buying when the price is deflated. Often, value
investors select stocks with lower-than-average price-to-book or price-to-earnings ratios and/or
high dividend yields. The risks associated with value-investing include incorrectly analyzing and
overestimating the intrinsic value of a business, concentration risk, under performance relative to
major benchmarks, macro-economic risks, investing in value traps i.e. businesses that remain
perpetually undervalued, and lost purchasing power on cash holdings in the case of inflation.
Margin transactions - When an investor buys a stock on margin, the investor pays for part of the
purchase and borrows the rest of the purchase price from a brokerage firm. For example, an
investor may buy $5,000 worth of stock in a margin account by paying for $2,500 and borrowing
$2,500 from a brokerage firm. Clients cannot borrow stock from Rosemeyer Management Group.
Option writing including cover options, uncovered options or spreading strategies - Options are
contracts giving the purchaser the right to buy or sell a security, such as stocks, at a fixed price
within a specific period of time.
RMG Wealth Management, LLC
Page 16
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
Strategic asset allocation - Calls for setting target allocations and then periodically rebalancing
the portfolio back to those targets as investment returns skew the original asset allocation
percentages. The concept is akin to a “buy and hold” strategy, rather than an active trading
approach. Of course, the strategic asset allocation targets may change over time as the client’s
goals and needs change and as the time horizon for major events such as retirement and college
funding grow shorter.
Primarily Recommend One Type of Security
We do not primarily recommend one type of security to clients. Instead, we recommend any product that
may be suitable for each client relative to that client’s specific circumstances and needs.
Risk of Loss
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Therefore, you should never assume that future
performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable. Investing in securities
(including stocks, mutual funds, and bonds, etc.) involves risk of loss. Further, depending on the different
types of investments there may be varying degrees of risk. You should be prepared to bear investment
loss including loss of original principal.
Because of the inherent risk of loss associated with investing, our firm is unable to represent, guarantee,
or even imply that our services and methods of analysis can or will predict future results, successfully
identify market tops or bottoms, or insulate you from losses due to market corrections or declines. There
are certain additional risks associated with investing in securities through our investment management
program, as described below:
• Market Risk – Either the stock market as a whole, or the value of an individual company,
goes down resulting in a decrease in the value of client investments. This is also referred
to as systemic risk.
• Equity (stock) market risk – Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market
fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and
perceptions of their issuers change. If you held common stock, or common stock
equivalents, of any given issuer, you would generally be exposed to greater risk than if
you held preferred stocks and debt obligations of the issuer.
• Company Risk. When investing in stock positions, there is always a certain level of
company or industry specific risk that is inherent in each investment. This is also referred
to as unsystematic risk and can be reduced through appropriate diversification. There is
the risk that the company will perform poorly or have its value reduced based on factors
specific to the company or its industry. For example, if a company’s employees go on
strike or the company receives unfavorable media attention for its actions, the value of
the company may be reduced.
• Fixed Income Risk. When investing in bonds, there is the risk that the issuer will default
on the bond and be unable to make payments. Further, individuals who depend on set
amounts of periodically paid income face the risk that inflation will erode their spending
RMG Wealth Management, LLC
Page 17
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
power. Fixed-income investors receive set, regular payments that face the same inflation
risk.
• Options Risk. Options on securities may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than
an investment in the underlying securities. Purchasing and writing put and call options
are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks.
• ETF and Mutual Fund Risk – When investing in an ETF or mutual fund, you will bear
additional expenses based on your pro rata share of the ETF’s or mutual fund’s operating
expenses, including the potential duplication of management fees. The risk of owning an
ETF or mutual fund generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities the
ETF or mutual fund holds. You will also incur brokerage costs when purchasing ETFs.
• Management Risk – Your investment with our firm varies with the success and failure of
our investment strategies, research, analysis and determination of portfolio securities. If
our investment strategies do not produce the expected returns, the value of the
investment will decrease.
• Margin Risk - When you purchase securities, you may pay for the securities in full or
borrow part of the purchase price from your account custodian or clearing firm. If you
intended to borrow funds in connection with your Account, you will be required to open a
margin account, which will be carried by the clearing firm. The securities purchased in
such an account are the clearing firm’s collateral for its loan to you.
If those securities in a margin account decline in value, the value of the collateral
supporting this loan also declines, and as a result, the brokerage firm is required to take
action in order to maintain the necessary level of equity in your account. The brokerage
firm may issue a margin call and/or sell other assets in your account.
It is important that you fully understand the risks involved in trading securities on margin,
which are applicable to any margin account that you may maintain, including any margin
account that may be established as part of the Asset Management Agreement
established between you and RMG and held by the account custodian or clearing firm.
These risks include the following:
• You can lose more funds than you deposit in your margin account.
• The account custodian or clearing firm can force the sale of securities or other assets in
your account.
• The account custodian or clearing firm can sell your securities or other assets without
contacting you.
• You are not entitled to choose which securities or other assets in your margin account
may be liquidated or sold to meet a margin call.
• The account custodian or clearing firm may move securities held in your cash account to
your margin account and pledge the transferred securities.
• The account custodian or clearing firm can increase its “house” maintenance margin
requirements at any time and they are not required to provide you advance written notice.
• You are not entitled to an extension of time on a margin call.

insurance agent. When acting in his or her separate capacity as an insurance agent, the investment
adviser representative may sell, for commissions, general disability insurance, life insurance, annuities,
and other insurance products to you. As such, your investment adviser representative in his or her
separate capacity as an insurance agent, may suggest that you implement recommendations of RMG by
purchasing disability insurance, life insurance, annuities, or other insurance products. This receipt of
commissions creates an incentive for the representative to recommend those products for which your
investment adviser representative will receive a commission in his or her separate capacity as an
insurance agent. Consequently, the advice rendered to you could be biased. You are under no obligation
to implement any insurance or annuity transaction through your investment adviser representative.

dealer. You may work with him in his separate capacity as a registered representative of Harbour

investment advice by purchasing securities products through a commission-based brokerage account in
addition to or in lieu of a fee-based investment-advisory account. This receipt of commissions creates an
incentive to recommend those products for which Jacob E. Rosemeyer will receive a commission in his
separate capacity as a registered representative of a securities broker-dealer. Consequently, the
objectivity of the advice rendered to you could be biased.
You are under no obligation to use the services of Jacob E. Rosemeyer in this separate capacity or to use
Harbour Investments and can select any broker/dealer you wish to implement securities transactions. If
you select Jacob E. Rosemeyer to implement securities transactions in his separate capacity as
registered representatives, they must use Harbour Investments. Prior to effecting any such transactions,
you are required to enter into a new account agreement with Harbour Investments. The commissions
charged by Harbour Investments may be higher or lower than those charged by other broker/dealers. In
addition, he may also receive additional ongoing 12b-1 fees for mutual fund purchases from the mutual
fund company during the period that you maintain the mutual fund investment.
Accounting Services
Kaley Bockhop, an associated person of Rosemeyer Management Group, is a licensed CPA. Clients
needing assistance with tax preparation and/or account services may be referred to her but are not

Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics Summary
According to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, an investment adviser is considered a fiduciary and
has a fiduciary duty to all clients. RMG has established a Code of Ethics to comply with the requirements
of Section 204(A)-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 that reflects its fiduciary obligations and those
of its supervised persons. The Code of Ethics also requires compliance with federal securities laws. The
Code of Ethics covers all individuals that are classified as “supervised persons.” All employees, officers,
directors and investment adviser representatives are classified as supervised persons. RMG requires its
supervised persons to consistently act in your best interest in all advisory activities. RMG imposes certain
requirements on its affiliates and supervised persons to ensure that they meet the firm’s fiduciary
responsibilities to you. The standard of conduct required is higher than ordinarily required and
encountered in commercial business.

This section is intended to provide a summary description of the Code of Ethics of Rosemeyer
Management Group. If you wish to review the Code of Ethics in its entirety, you should send us a written
request and upon receipt of your request, we will promptly provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to you.
Affiliate and Employee Personal Securities Transactions Disclosure
RMG or supervised persons of the firm buy and sell for their personal accounts, investment products
identical to those recommended to clients. This creates a conflict of interest. It is the express policy of
RMG that all persons associated in any manner with our firm must place clients’ interests ahead of their
own when implementing personal investments. As is required by our internal procedures manual, RMG
and its supervised persons will not buy or sell securities for their personal account(s) where their decision
is derived, in whole or in part, by information obtained as a result of employment or association with our
firm unless the information is also available to the investing public upon reasonable inquiry.
We are now and will continue to be in compliance with applicable state and federal rules and regulations.
To mitigate conflicts of interest that can occur when access persons manage their personal accounts at
the same time RMG manages client accounts, we have developed written supervisory procedures that
include personal investment and trading policies for our representatives, employees and their immediate
family members (collectively, supervised persons):
• Supervised persons cannot prefer their own interests to that of the client.
• Supervised persons cannot purchase or sell any security for their personal accounts prior to
implementing transactions for client accounts.
• Supervised persons cannot buy or sell securities for their personal accounts when those
decisions are based on information obtained as a result of their employment unless that
information is also available to the investing public upon reasonable inquiry.
• Supervised persons are prohibited from purchasing or selling securities of companies in which
any client is deemed an “insider.”
• Supervised persons are discouraged from conducting frequent personal trading.
• Supervised persons are generally prohibited from serving as board members of publicly traded
companies unless an exception has been granted to the Chief Compliance Officer of Rosemeyer
Management Group.
Any Supervised person not observing our policies is subject to sanctions up to and including termination.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
If RMG assists in the implementation of any recommendations, we are responsible to ensure that the
client receives the best execution possible. Best execution does not necessarily mean that clients receive
the lowest possible commission costs but that the qualitative execution is best. In other words, all
conditions considered, the transaction execution is in your best interest. When considering best
execution, we look at a number of factors besides prices and rates including, but not limited to:
• Execution capabilities (e.g., market expertise, ease/reliability/timeliness of execution,
responsiveness, integration with our existing systems, ease of monitoring investments)
RMG Wealth Management, LLC
Page 21
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
• Products and services offered (e.g., investment programs, back office services, technology,
regulatory compliance assistance, research and analytic services)
• Financial strength, stability and responsibility
• Reputation and integrity
• Ability to maintain confidentiality
We exercise reasonable due diligence to make certain that best execution is obtained for all clients when
implementing any transaction by considering the back office services, technology and pricing of services
offered.
Brokerage Recommendations
RMG primarily recommends/requires that clients establish brokerage accounts with the Schwab
Institutional division of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc (“Schwab”) and/or TD Ameritrade, FINRA-registered
broker-dealers, Members SIPC, to maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect trades for their
accounts. RMG also uses Vanguard and Nationwide as custodial platforms for our ERISA based
Retirement Plan accounts. (all of these firms will be referred to as “our custodians”). Although RMG may
recommend/require the clients establish accounts at our custodians, it is the client’s decision to custody
assets with the chosen firm. RMG is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with any broker
dealer or custodian. RMG may recommend additional unaffiliated broker-dealers to affect fixed income
transactions.
Our custodians provide RMG with access to its institutional trading and custody services, which are
typically not available to traditional retail investors. These services generally are available to independent
investment advisors on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them so long as a specified minimum level of
client assets are maintained at the custodian. These services are not contingent upon RMG committing
our custodians any specific amount of business (assets in custody or trading commissions). Our
custodian’s brokerage services include the execution of securities transactions, custody, research, and
access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional
investors or would require significantly higher minimum initial investment.
Our Custodians also makes available to RMG other products are services that benefit RMG but may not
directly benefit clients’ accounts. Many of these products and services may be used to service all or some
substantial number of Rosemeyer Management Group’ accounts, including accounts not maintained at
our Custodians.
Our custodian’s products and services that assist RMG in managing and administering clients’ accounts
include software and other technology that (i) provides access to client account data (such as trade
confirmations and account statements); (ii) facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders
for multiple client accounts; (iii) provide research, pricing and other market data; (iv) facilitate payment of
Rosemeyer Management Group’s fees from some of its accounts; and (v) assist with back-office
functions, recordkeeping and client reporting.
Our Custodians also offer other services intended to help RMG manage and further develop its business
enterprise. These services can include: (i) compliance, legal and business consulting; (ii) publications and
conferences on practice management and business succession; and (iii) access to employee benefits
providers, human capital consultants and insurance providers. Our Custodians may discount or waive
fees it would otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or part of the fees of a third-party
RMG Wealth Management, LLC
Page 22
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
providing these services to Rosemeyer Management Group. Our Custodians can also provide other
benefits such as educational events or occasional business entertainment of RMG personnel. While as a
fiduciary, RMG endeavors to act in its clients’ best interests, Rosemeyer Management Group’s
recommendation that clients maintain their assets in accounts at a particular custodian may take into
account availability of some of the foregoing products and services and other arrangements not solely on
the nature of cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by the custodian, which creates a
conflict of interest.
Held Away Assets
RMG uses a third party platform to facilitate management of held away assets such as defined
contribution plan participant accounts, with discretion. The platform 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 the platform in any way and receive no compensation from them for
using their platform. A link will be provided to the Client allowing them to connect an account(s) to the
platform. Once Client account(s) is connected to the platform, Adviser will review the current account
allocations. When deemed necessary, Adviser 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 harm account performance. Client account(s) will be reviewed at least quarterly
and allocation changes will be made as deemed necessary.
Directed Brokerage
Clients should understand that not all investment advisors require the use of a particular broker/dealer or
custodian. Some investment advisors allow their clients to select whichever broker/dealer the client
decides. By requiring clients to use a particular broker/dealer, RMG may not achieve the most favorable
execution of client transactions and the practice requiring the use of specific broker/dealers may cost
clients more money than if the client used a different broker/dealer or custodian. However, for compliance
and operational efficiencies, RMG has decided to require our clients to use broker/dealers and other
qualified custodians determined by Rosemeyer Management Group.
Block Trading Policy
We may elect to purchase or sell the same securities for several clients at approximately the same time.
This process is referred to as aggregating orders, batch trading or block trading and is used by our firm
when RMG believes such action may prove advantageous to clients. If and when we aggregate client
orders, allocating securities among client accounts is done on a fair and equitable basis. Typically, the
process of aggregating client orders is done in order to achieve better execution, to negotiate more
favorable commission rates or to allocate orders among clients on a more equitable basis in order to
avoid differences in prices and transaction fees or other transaction costs that might be obtained when
orders are placed independently.
RMG uses the average price allocation method for transaction allocation.
Under this procedure RMG will calculate the average price and transaction charges for each transaction
included in a block order and assign the average price and transaction charge to each allocated
transaction executed for the client’s account.
RMG Wealth Management, LLC
Page 23
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
If and when we determine to aggregate client orders for the purchase or sale of securities, including
securities in which RMG or our associated persons may invest, we will do so in accordance with the
parameters set forth in the SEC No-Action Letter, SMC Capital, Inc. Neither we nor our associated
persons receive any additional compensation as a result of block trades.
Agency Cross Transactions
Our associated persons are prohibited from engaging in agency cross transactions, meaning we cannot
act as brokers for both the sale and purchase of a single security between two different clients and cannot
receive compensation in the form of an agency cross commission or principal mark-up for the trades.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Account Reviews and Reviewers
Managed accounts are reviewed at least quarterly. While the calendar is the main triggering factor,
reviews can also be conducted at your request. Account reviews will include investment strategy and
objectives review and making a change if strategy and objectives have changed. Reviews are conducted
by the Investment Advisor Representative assigned to the account, with reviews performed in accordance
with your investment goals and objectives.
Our financial planning services terminate upon the presentation of the written plan. Our financial planning
services do not include monitoring the investments of your account(s), and therefore, there is no ongoing
review of your account(s) under such services.
Statements and Reports
For our asset management services, you are provided with transaction confirmation notices and regular
monthly account statements in writing directly from the qualified custodian.
Financial planning clients do not receive any report other than the written plan originally contracted for
and provided by RMG.
You are encouraged to always compare any reports or statements provided by us against the account
statements delivered from the qualified custodian. When you have questions about your account
statement, you should contact our firm and the qualified custodian preparing the statement.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
RMG has entered into an agreement with various persons or entities (Referring Parties) to refer clients to
Rosemeyer Management Group. If a referred client enters into an investment advisory agreement with
Rosemeyer Management Group, a cash referral fee is paid to the referring party, which is based upon a
percentage of the client advisory fees that are generated. The referral agreements between any referring
party and RMG will not result in any charges to clients in addition to the normal level of advisory fees
charged.
RMG Wealth Management, LLC
Page 24
Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure
When a client is referred to us by a referring party, the referring party provides the client with a copy of
our Disclosure Brochure as required by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The client also will complete
a Solicitor’s Disclosure Statement document. If the referring party is an unaffiliated registered investment
adviser firm, then the client will also receive a copy of the referring party’s Form ADV Part 2 Disclosure
Brochure. If a referred client enters into an investment advisory agreement with Rosemeyer Management
Group, a referral fee is paid to the referring party. The referral relationship will not result in clients being
charged any fees over and above the normal advisory fees charged for the advisory services provided.
The referral agreements between RMG and referring parties are in compliance with state and federal
securities rules regarding paid solicitor arrangements.
We receive an economic benefit from our custodians in the form of the support products and services it
makes available to us and other independent investment advisers whose clients maintain their accounts
at a particular custodian. These products and services, how they benefit us, and the related conflicts of
interest are described above (see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices). The availability of a custodian’s
products and services is not based on us giving particular investment advice, such as buying particular
securities for our clients.
Please see Item 5, Fees and Compensation, Item 10, Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
and Item 12, Brokerage Practices, for additional discussion concerning other compensation.
Item 15 – Custody
Custody, as it applies to investment advisors, has been defined by regulators as having access or control
over client funds and/or securities. In other words, custody is not limited to physically holding client funds
and securities. If an investment adviser has the ability to access or control client funds or securities, the
investment adviser is deemed to have custody and must ensure proper procedures are implemented.
For accounts in which RMG is deemed to have custody, we have established procedures to ensure all
client funds and securities are held at a qualified custodian in a separate account for each client under
that client’s name. Clients or an independent representative of the client will direct, in writing, the
establishment of all accounts and therefore are aware of the qualified custodian’s name, address and the
manner in which the funds or securities are maintained. Finally, account statements are delivered directly
from the qualified custodian to each client, or the client’s independent representative, at least quarterly.
Clients should carefully review those statements and are urged to compare the statements against
reports received from Rosemeyer Management Group. When clients have questions about their account
statements, they should contact RMG or the qualified custodian preparing the statement.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
When providing asset management services, RMG maintains trading authorization over your Account and
can provide management services on a discretionary basis. When discretionary authority is granted, we
will have the authority to determine the type of securities and the amount of securities that can be bought
or sold for your portfolio without obtaining your consent for each transaction.

Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Clients are given the option to vote proxies themselves or have RMG vote proxies on their behalf.
Class Action Lawsuits
You retain the right under applicable securities laws to initiate individually a lawsuit or join a class-action
lawsuit against the issuer of a security that was held, purchased or sold by or for you. RMG does not
initiate such a legal proceeding on behalf of clients and does not provide legal advice to clients regarding
potential causes of action against such a security issuer and whether the client should join a class-action
lawsuit. We recommend that you seek legal counsel prior to making a decision regarding whether to
participate in such a class-action lawsuit. Moreover, our services do not include monitoring or informing
you of any potential or actual class-action lawsuits against the issuers of the securities that were held,
purchased or sold by or for you.
Item 18 – Financial Information
This Item 18 is not applicable to this brochure. RMG does not require or solicit prepayment of more than
$1200 in fees per client, six months or more in advance. Therefore, we are not required to include a
balance sheet for the most recent fiscal year. We are not subject to a financial condition that is
reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet contractual commitments to clients. Finally, RMG has not
been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time.
Customer Privacy Policy Notice
In November of 1999, Congress enacted the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). The GLBA requires certain
financial institutions, such as investment advisor firms, to protect the privacy of customer information. In
situations where a financial institution does disclose customer information to nonaffiliated third parties,
other than permitted or required by law, customers must be given the opportunity to opt out or prevent
such disclosure. Rosemeyer Management Group does not share or disclose customer information to
nonaffiliated third parties except as permitted or required by law.
Rosemeyer Management Group is committed to safeguarding the confidential information of its clients.
RMG holds all personal information provided by clients in the strictest confidence and it is the objective of
Rosemeyer Management Group to protect the privacy of all clients. Except as permitted or required by
law, Rosemeyer Management Group does not share confidential information about clients with
nonaffiliated parties. In the event that there were to be a change in this policy, RMG will provide clients
with written notice and clients will be provided an opportunity to direct RMG as to whether such disclosure
is permissible.
To conduct regular business, RMG may collect personal information from sources such as:
•
•
Information reported by the client on applications or other forms the client provides to Rosemeyer
Management Group
Information about the client’s transactions implemented by RMG or others

•
Information developed as part of investment advisory services
To administer, manage, service, and provide related services for client accounts, it is necessary for RMG
to provide access to customer information within the firm and to nonaffiliated companies, with whom RMG
has entered into agreements with. To provide the utmost service, RMG may disclose the information
below regarding customers and former customers, as necessary, to companies to perform certain
services on Rosemeyer Management Group’ behalf.
•
•
•
•
Information RMG receives from the client on applications (name, social security number, address,
assets, etc.)
Information about the client’s transactions with RMG or others (account information, payment
history, parties to transactions, etc.)
Information concerning investment advisory account transactions
Information about a client’s financial products and services transaction with Rosemeyer
Management Group
Since RMG shares nonpublic information solely to service client accounts, RMG does not disclose any
nonpublic personal information about Rosemeyer Management Group’ customers or former customers to
anyone, except as permitted by law. However, RMG may also provide customer information outside of the
firm as required by law, such as to government entities, consumer reporting agencies or other third
parties in response to subpoenas. In the event that RMG has a change to its customer privacy policy that
would allow it to disclose non-public information not covered under applicable law, RMG will allow its
clients the opportunity to opt out of such disclosure.
Business Continuity Plan
Rosemeyer Management Group has a business continuity and contingency plan in place designed to
respond to significant business disruptions. These disruptions can be both internal and external. Internal
disruptions will impact our ability to communicate and do business, such as a fire in the office building.
External disruptions will prevent the operation of the securities markets or the operations of a number of
firms, such as earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes, terrorist attack or other wide-scale, regional disruptions.
Our continuity and contingency plan has been developed to safeguard employees’ lives and firm property,
to allow a method of making financial and operational assessments, to quickly recover and resume
business operations, to protect books and records, and to allow clients to continue transacting business.
The plan includes the following:
• Alternate locations to conduct business;
• Hard and electronic back-ups of records;
• Alternative means of communications with employees, clients, critical business constituents
and regulators; and
• Details on the firms’ employee succession plan
Our business continuity and contingency plan is reviewed and updated on a regular basis to ensure that
the policies in place are sufficient and operational.
