Firm Information
Singer Wealth Management, LLC (“SWM” or the “Advisor”), which is organized as a limited liability company under
the laws of the State of Washington was founded in October 2018, and is solely owned and operated by Alicia
Singer, Managing Member and Founder.
When SWM provides investment advice to a client regarding their retirement plan account or individual retirement
account, we are fiduciaries 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. The way SWM makes
money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in
your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours.
Advisory Services Offered
Singer Wealth Management, LLC offers investment management and financial planning services to individuals,
families, trusts, estates, and small businesses, including their retirement plans (each referred to as a “Client”).
The following describes SWM’s engagements with its clients.
Personal Financial Planning Services
Singer Wealth Management, LLC will typically provide a variety of financial planning services to individuals, and families,
pursuant to a written Investment Advisory Agreement. Services are customized to a client’s financial situation, their
goals, and objectives.
In general, the financial planning services will address any or all of the following areas of concern:
•
•
PERSONAL: Family records, budgeting, personal liability, estate information and financial goals.
TAX & CASH FLOW: Income tax and spending analysis and planning for past, current and future
years. SWM will illustrate the impact of various investments on a client’s current income tax and
future tax liability.
• DEATH & DISABILITY: Cash needs at death, income needs of surviving dependents, estate
planning and disability income analysis
• RETIREMENT: Analysis of current strategies and investment plans to help the client achieve his or
her retirement goals.
INVESTMENTS: Analysis of investment alternatives and their effect on a client’s portfolio.
•
SWM gathers required information through in-depth personal interviews. Information gathered includes a client’s
current financial status, future goals and attitudes towards risk. Related documents supplied by the client are carefully
reviewed, including a questionnaire completed by the client. A financial plan developed for or financial consultation
rendered to the client will usually include general recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be
taken by the client. For example, recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment
programs, commence or alter retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs. For
certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of client’s financial situation,
observations, and recommendations.
Implementation of SWM’s financial planning recommendations is entirely at the client’s discretion. All recommendations
are based on the best interest of the client. The client is under no obligation to effect transactions through SWM. Should
a client choose to implement SWM’s investment recommendations the client will separately engage SWM for investment
management services.
Investment Management Services
SWM will provide investment management and ongoing oversight of a client’s account held at an independent
custodian. SWM works with each client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and
financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. SWM will then primarily use a portfolio, consisting of low-cost,
diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to achieve the client’s investment goals. Advisor may
include legacy positions and other types of investments as appropriate. Initial public offerings (IPOs) and non- traded
REITS are not available through SWM.
Clients grant SWM discretionary authority to manage client’s cash and securities in the account(s). In granting this
discretionary authority, SWM has the full power to direct, manage, and supervise the investment and reinvestment of
assets in a client’s account without prior consultation with client.
SWM does not provide securities custodial services. At no time will SWM accept or maintain custody of a client’s funds
or securities, except as to the authorized deduction of the Advisor’s fees. All client assets will be managed within their
designated brokerage account or pension account, pursuant to the client investment advisory agreement.
Advisory Agreement
Prior to engaging SWM to provide investment advisory services, each client is required to enter into an investment
advisory agreement with SWM that defines the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of SWM and the
Client.
Termination of Agreements
If a client does not receive a Brochure at least 48 hours prior to entering into an advisory agreement, the client has a
right to terminate the contract without penalty within five business days after entering into the contract.
Although investment management contemplates an ongoing agreement, the length of service is at the client’s discretion.
The Client or SWM may terminate the agreement at any time by written notice to the other party upon thirty (30) days
written notice.
Wrap Fee Programs
SWM does not manage or place client assets into a wrap fee program.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, SWM had $118,997,543, in discretionary assets under management.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following details the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by SWM. The specific
manner in which fees are charged by SWM is established in each client’s written agreement with SWM. Fees may be
waived in certain circumstances and are negotiable in SWM’s sole discretion based on such factors as the complexity of
the client’s situation, the composition of the client’s account, and the relationship of the client with SWM.
Personal Financial Planning Fees
Singer Wealth Management, LLC offers financial planning services on an hourly basis for $400 per hour, with a minimum
fee of $4,000. For any time spent in the engagement beyond ten hours the hourly fee is incurred and charged in
addition to the minimum fee.
Investment Management Fee
SWM’s investment management fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of each
calendar quarter. Fees for investment management services are charged according to the following schedule on the
assets under management applied on a cumulative basis:
Assets Under Management
Annual Rate
$0 to $1,999,999
1.00%
Next $2,000,000 to $4,999,999
0.70%
Next $5,000,000 to $9,999,999
0.50%
Next $10,000,000 to $24,999,999
0.40%
$25,000,000 and above
negotiable
Example of a fee calculation for an account with $2,500,000:
1% on the first $1,999,999 is $19,999
.70% on next $500,000 is
$3,500
Total Fee:
$22,499
The investment management fee in the first quarter of services is prorated from the inception date of the account
to the end of the first quarter. All securities held in accounts managed by SWM will be independently valued by the
designated Custodian.
Minimum account size of $500,000 is generally needed. Clients receiving ongoing asset management services will be
assessed a $5,000 minimum annual fee. Because SWM has a minimum fee of $5,000 there may be times when SWM's
fees in this instance may be higher than normally charged in the industry and that similar services may be offered by
another adviser at a lower fee.
Fee Billing
Investment Management Fee
Investment management fees are billed quarterly, in advance, pursuant to the terms of the client’s investment
advisory agreement with SWM. Clients provide written authorization permitting SWM to be paid directly from their
accounts held at the custodian as part of the investment management agreement and separate account forms
provided by the Custodian. Investment management fees will be automatically deducted from the client’s account
by the Custodian. SWM will send a notice to the account’s custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be
deducted from the account at the respective quarter’s end date. The amount due is calculated by applying the
quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management with SWM at the end of each
quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the account’s custodian reflecting
deductions of the Advisor’s advisory fee. In all instances, SWM will send the client a written invoice, including the
fee, the formula used to calculate the fee, the fee calculation itself, the time period covered by the fee, and, if
applicable, the amount of assets under management on which the fee was based and the name of the
custodian(s).
Financial Planning Services
At the time of the signing of the agreement SWM provides an estimate of the total fee for the scope of requested
services. SWM collects half of the total estimated fee at the time of signing the engagement and the remaining fee
upon presentation of the financial plan. Fees may be paid by ACH, credit card, or deduction from the Client’s taxable
brokerage account.
Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than SWM, in connection with investments
made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custodial and securities execution fees
charged by the custodian and executing broker-dealer. The investment management fee charged by SWM is
separate and distinct from these custodian and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to SWM for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the expenses
charged by mutual funds and exchange-traded funds to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses
are described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees
for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a
possible distribution fee. A Client could invest in these products directly, without the services of SWM, but would
not receive the services provided by SWM which are designed, among other things, to assist the Client in
determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial situation and objectives.
Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by SWM to fully
understand the total fees to be paid.
Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Investment Management
SWM is compensated for its services in advance of the quarter in which investment advisory services are rendered.
Clients may request to terminate their Investment Advisory Agreement with SWM, in whole or in part, by providing
advance written notice. The Client shall be responsible for investment management fees up to and including the
effective date of termination. Upon termination, the Advisor will promptly refund any unearned, prepaid Investment
Advisory Fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the quarter.
If the Client has not received SWM’s Brochure at least 48 hours prior to entering into an investment advisory
agreement, the Client has the right to terminate the agreement without penalty within five business days after
entering into the contact.
Compensation for Sales of Securities
SWM does not buy or sell securities and does not receive any compensation for securities transactions in any
Client account, other than the Investment Advisory Fees noted above.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
SWM does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services.
SWM does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or
a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Singer Wealth Management, LLC offers investment advisory services to individuals, families, trusts, estates, and
small businesses, including their retirement plans.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
SWM, through Wealth Management, LLC, will primarily employ fundamental analysis methods in developing
investment strategies for its Clients accounts. Research and analysis is derived from numerous sources, including
financial media companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities,
including annual reports, prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others. Fundamental analysis
utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. These criteria are generally ratios and
trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being analyzed. Assets are deemed
suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment with a value discounted by the
market. While this type of analysis helps evaluate a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the
investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in the fundamental analysis may
lose value and may have negative investment performance.
SWM may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or
losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting
of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any
risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
Investment Strategy
SWM’s investment strategy is primarily long-term focused, but SWM may buy, sell or re-allocate positions that have
been held less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. SWM will monitor the
portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client
will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective
portfolio, subject to acceptance by SWM.
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. SWM will assist Clients in determining an appropriate strategy
based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a Client will
meet their investment goals.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client’s investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client’s account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client’s account. SWM shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client or their
designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided information.
The Client is responsible for informing SWM of any changes in financial condition, goals or other factors that may
affect this analysis.
SWM will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction process.
However, all investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Investors face the following
investment risks:
Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to fluctuate. For
example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less attractive, causing their
market values to decline.
Market Risk: The price of a security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in reaction to tangible and
intangible events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by external factors independent of a
security’s particular underlying circumstances. For example, political, economic and social conditions
may trigger market events.
Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will not buy as much as a dollar
next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
Reinvestment Risk: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have to be reinvested
at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e. interest rate). This primarily relates to fixed income
securities.
Business Risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a particular company within
an industry. For example, oil-drilling companies depend on finding oil and then refining it, a lengthy
process, before they can generate a profit. They carry a higher risk of profitability than an electric
company, which generates its income from a steady stream of customers who buy electricity no
matter what the economic environment is like.
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash. Generally, assets
are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized product. For example, Treasury Bills
are highly liquid, while real estate properties are not.
Financial Risk: Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations increases the risk of
profitability, because the company must meet the terms of its obligations in good times and bad.
During periods of financial stress, the inability to meet loan obligations may result in bankruptcy
and/or a declining market value.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments
involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded
to discuss these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Singer Wealth Management, LLC is required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events
that would be material to your evaluation of our firm or the integrity of our management. We have no information
applicable to this Item.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Neither Singer Wealth Management, LLC nor any affiliated person is registered as or have a pending application as a
broker-dealer, futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading advisor or as a
representative of any of the foregoing entities.
The Firm does not have a relationship or an arrangement with any related person that provides or acts as any of the
following: a broker-dealer, municipal securities dealer, or government securities dealer or broker; an investment
company or other pooled investment vehicle (e.g. mutual fund, private fund, etc.); another investment adviser or
financial planner; a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading advisor; a banking
or thrift institution; an accountant or accounting firm; a lawyer or law firm; an insurance company or agency; a pension
consultant; a real estate broker or dealer; or a sponsor or syndicator of limited partnerships.
SWM does not recommend or select other advisors. We are not involved in any other financial industry activities. Upon
client request, we may provide referrals to various professionals, such as a mortgage broker, insurance agent or
attorney or they may make a referral of a client to SWM. We do not have an agreement with or receive fees from these
professionals for our referrals nor do we compensate any individual for referrals made to SWM.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
contact us at
(206) 300-7464 or
Code of Ethics
Singer Wealth Management, LLC has implemented a Code of Ethics that defines our fiduciary commitment to each
Client. This Code of Ethics applies to all persons associated with Singer Wealth Management, LLC (our “Supervised
Persons”). The Code of Ethics was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions
regarding our duties to our Clients. Singer Wealth Management, LLC and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of
loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of Singer Wealth Management, LLC
associates to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code, but also to the general principles that guide
the Code. The Code of Ethics covers a range of topics that address ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a
copy of our Code of Ethics, please
via email at
AliciaSinger@SingerWealthManagement.com.
Personal Trading with Material Interest
SWM does not purchase or sell the same securities that SWM has a material interest in. SWM does not act as
principal in any transactions. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security
from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security
into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). In addition, the Advisor does not act as the general
partner of a fund or advise an investment company. SWM does not have a material interest in any securities
traded in Client accounts.
Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
SWM allows our employees to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on
behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities, we recommend (purchase or sell) to you presents a potential conflict of
interest that, as fiduciaries, we must disclose to you and mitigate through policies and procedures. The fiduciary duty
to act in the best interest of its Clients can potentially be violated if personal trades are made with more advantageous
terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is mitigated by the fact that
most trades in a Client’s account are mutual funds and ETFs that present little to no likelihood of a material conflict
when purchasing the same securities.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
Recommendation of Custodian[s]
SWM does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custodial and execution
services. The Client retains the right to select the broker-dealer or custodian (herein the “custodian”) to safeguard
Client assets and authorize SWM to direct trades to this custodian as agreed to in the Investment Advisory
Agreement. Further, SWM does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of our
Clients on a trade-by-trade basis. Any custodial recommendations are based on the Client’s need for such services.
Singer Wealth Management, LLC will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab, a
FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Charles Schwab will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian.” Singer
Wealth Management, LLC maintains an institutional relationship with Charles Schwab, whereby Charles Schwab provides
various economic benefits (Please see Item 14 below.).
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of SWM:
1. Soft Dollars -Singer Wealth Management, LLC participates in Charles Schwab’s institutional customer program and
the Advisor may recommend Charles Schwab to Clients for custody and brokerage services. There is no direct link
between the Advisor’s participation in the program and the investment advice it gives to its Clients, although the Advisor
receives economic benefits through its participation in the program that are typically not available to Charles Schwab
retail investors. These benefits include the following products and services (provided without cost or at a discount):
receipt of duplicate Client statements and confirmations; research related products and tools; consulting services;
access to a trading desk serving the Advisor participants; access to block trading (which provides the ability to aggregate
securities transactions for execution and then allocate the appropriate shares to Client accounts); the ability to have
advisory fees deducted directly from Client accounts; access to an electronic communications network for Client order
entry and account information; access to mutual funds with no transaction fees and to certain institutional money
managers; and discounts on compliance, marketing, research, technology, and practice management products or
services provided to the Advisor by third party vendors. Charles Schwab may also have paid for business consulting and
professional services received by the Advisor’s related persons. Some of the products and services made available by
Charles Schwab through the program may benefit the Advisor but may not benefit its Client accounts. These products or
services may assist the Advisor in managing and administering Client accounts, including accounts not maintained at
Charles Schwab. Other services made available by Charles Schwab are intended to help the Advisor manage and further
develop its business enterprise. The benefits received by the Advisor or its personnel through participation in the
program do not depend on the amount of brokerage transactions directed to Charles Schwab. As part of its fiduciary duties
to clients, Singer Wealth Management, LLC endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should
be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits by Singer Wealth Management, LLC or its related persons in
and of itself creates a conflict of interest and may indirectly influence the Advisor’s choice of Charles Schwab for custody
and brokerage services.
2. Brokerage Referrals – Singer Wealth Management, LLC does not receive any compensation from any third party
in connection with the recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage – All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where Singer Wealth Management,
LLC will place trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client
accounts are traded within their respective brokerage account[s]. Singer Wealth Management, LLC will not be obligated
to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available
transaction costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian.
Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The Advisor does not aggregate a Client’s trades with other clients. The Advisor will allocate trade opportunities in a
fair and equitable manner.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Frequency of Reviews
Financial planning engagements are complete after the financial plan is presented so no further reviews are
conducted.
Investment management accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis. Reviews of clients’ account
are conducted by Alicia Singer and are generally conducted no less than annually. Reviews may be performed
more frequently depending upon the needs of the Client.
Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. Reviews may be conducted more or less frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed
as a result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or
large deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account. The Client is encouraged to notify SWM if changes occur in
the Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews
may be triggered by material market, economic or political events.
Review Reports
The Client will receive account statements no less than quarterly from the custodian. These statements are sent
directly from the custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the custodian’s website
so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client statements will include all positions,
transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor will also provide Clients with periodic reports
regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance. Clients are responsible for reviewing their accounts.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Compensation Received by SWM
SWM is a fee-only advisory firm, who, in all circumstances, is compensated solely by the Client. SWM does not
receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker-dealers or any un-related third party.
SWM may refer Clients to various third parties to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of
its Clients. Likewise, SWM may receive referrals of new Clients from a third-party. But no compensation is either
paid or received for a referral.
Client Referrals from Solicitors
SWM does not engage paid solicitors for Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
All Clients assets are held at an independent qualified custodian. We may provide you with periodic reports from our firm
that includes investment performance information. You are urged to carefully review and compare your account
statements that you have received directly from your service provider with any report you receive from our firm.
SWM does not accept or maintain physical custody of any Client accounts; however, the firm is deemed to have
constructive custody because of its authority to make withdrawals from client accounts to pay its advisory fee. When
SWM directly deducts its fee from clients’ accounts, SWM follows the following safeguards:
SWM has written authorization from the client to deduct advisory fees from the account held with the
qualified custodian; and
Each time a fee is directly deducted from a client account, SWM concurrently:
1. Sends the qualified custodian an invoice or statement of the amount of the fee to be deducted from the
client's account; and
2. Sends the client an invoice or statement itemizing the fee. Itemization includes the formula used to
calculate the fee, the value of the assets under management on which the fee is based, and the time period
covered by the fee.
SWM is also deemed to have constructive custody resulting from the use of Standing Letters of Authorization (“SLOA”)
for money transfer between a client’s account and a third-party account as designated by the client. The Firm follows
the guidance set forth in the SEC No Action Letter of February 21, 2017, and maintains records to avoid the surprise
audit requirement in those accounts that would otherwise be required of advisers with custody.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
SWM has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client accounts without
obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be subject to specified
investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to by SWM. The
granting of such authority will be evidenced by the Client’s execution of an investment management services
agreement containing all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by SWM will be in
accordance with each Client’s investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Clients will receive proxy statements directly from the Custodian. SWM does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for
any Client but will assist in answering questions relating to proxies. However, the Client retains the sole responsibility for
proxy decisions and voting. You will receive proxies or other similar solicitations directly from your selected custodian
or transfer agent.
Further, SWM will have no power, authority, responsibility, or obligation to take any action with regard to any claim or
potential claim in any bankruptcy proceeding, class action securities litigation or other litigation or proceeding relating
to securities held at any time in a client account, including, without limitation, to file proofs of claim or other documents
related to such proceeding, or to investigate, initiate, supervise or monitor class action or other litigation involving client
assets.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither SWM, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability
of SWM to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither SWM, nor any of its advisory persons, has been subject to a
bankruptcy or financial compromise. SWM is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure
Brochure as the Advisor does not collect fees $1200 or more for services to be performed six months or more in
advance.
