Item 4: Advisory Business
Firm Description
Somnio Financial Group, LLC (“Somnio”) was founded in 2009 and became registered as
an investment advisor in 2015. Robert Norman Roy, Jr. and Nicholas Raymond Roy are
each 50% owner.
Somnio is a fee only financial planning, consulting and investment management firm
with principal offices in Glastonbury, CT. Prior to engaging the firm to provide any of the
foregoing investment advisory services, the Client is required to enter into one or more
written agreements with Somnio setting forth the terms and conditions under which
Somnio renders its services (collectively the "Agreement").
Somnio does not act as a custodian of Client assets.
Types of Advisory Services
Other professionals (e.g., lawyers, accountants, tax preparers, insurance agents, etc.) are
engaged directly by the Client on an as-needed basis and may charge fees of their own.
Conflicts of interest will be disclosed to the Client in the event they should occur.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
Clients can engage Somnio to manage all or a portion of their assets on a discretionary
basis. Somnio primarily allocates Clients' investment management assets among
exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), although it may also advise on mutual funds or other
securities including but not limited to; individual debt and equity securities, options, the
securities components of variable annuities and variable life insurance contracts. All
recommendations are made in accordance with the investment objectives of the Client.
Somnio may also render non-discretionary investment management services to Clients
relative to variable life/annuity products that they may own, their individual employer-
sponsored retirement plans, and/or 529 plans or other products that may not be held by
the Client's primary custodian. In so doing, Somnio either directs or recommends the
allocation of Client assets among the various investment options that are available
within the plan or the product. Client assets are maintained at the specific insurance
company or custodian designated by the plan or product.
Somnio consults with Clients initially and on an ongoing basis to determine risk
tolerance, time horizon and other factors that may impact the Clients' investment needs.
Advisory services are tailored for how each account fits into the Clients' overall
investment portfolio and investment needs.
Provided that Clients invest a certain amount as provided in Item 5, Somnio investment
management services generally also includes financial planning and consulting services.
FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTING
Somnio offers financial planning and consulting services to help Clients with most
aspects of their investments and financial condition. Financial planning and consulting
services are generally provided together and will continue from year to year unless
cancelled in writing by either party. Clients may terminate the Agreement within five (5)
days of the date of the Agreement without obligation.
As part of an ongoing financial planning and consulting services relationship, Somnio
will meet formally with Clients either face to face or by phone two to four times per year
6
Somnio Financial Group, LLC
as described in the agreement. Additionally, we are available throughout the year for
additional issues that may arise.
Financial planning and consulting services may address any number of areas of a Clients'
situation and may include, but is not limited to: a net worth statement; a cash flow
statement; a review of investment accounts, including reviewing asset allocation and
providing repositioning recommendations; strategic tax planning; a review of retirement
accounts and plans including recommendations; active monitoring and maintenance of
distressed investments; a review of insurance policies and recommendations for
changes, if necessary; one or more retirement scenarios; estate planning review and
recommendations; and education planning with funding recommendations.
In performing its services, Somnio is not required to verify any information received
from the Client or from the Client's other professionals (e.g. attorney, accountant, etc.)
and is expressly authorized to rely on such information. Somnio may recommend the
services of itself and/or other professionals to implement its recommendations. Clients
are advised that a conflict of interest exists if Somnio recommends its own services. The
Client is under no obligation to act upon any of the recommendations made by Somnio
under a financial planning and consulting services engagement or to engage the services
of any such recommended professional, including Somnio itself. Clients are advised that
it remains their responsibility to promptly notify Somnio if there is ever any change in
their financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing,
evaluating, or revising Somnio's previous recommendations and/or services.
Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
The scope of work and fee for an Advisory Service Agreement is provided to the Client in
writing prior to the start of the relationship.
We offer individualized advice based on each Clients' goals and objectives.
Wrap Fee Programs
Somnio allows Clients’ to impose reasonable restrictions on the management of their
account.
Client Assets under Management
Somnio does not sponsor any wrap fee programs.
Somnio has the following assets under management:
Discretionary Amounts: Non-discretionary Amounts:
$168,290,000
$0
Date Calculated:
December 31, 2025
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Method of Compensation and Fee Schedule
Investment Management Fee
Somnio provides investment management services for an annual fee based upon a
percentage of the market value of the assets being managed by Somnio. Somnio's annual
fee is prorated and charged monthly, in advance, based upon the average daily market
value of the assets being managed by Somnio during the previous month. The annual fee
7
Somnio Financial Group, LLC
varies (between 0.25% and 1.00%) depending upon the market value of the assets
under management, as follows:
Assets Under Management
Maximum Annual Fee
First $1,000,000
Next $2,000,000
Over $3,000,000
1.00%
.50%
.25%
This is a tiered fee schedule, the portfolio management fee is calculated by applying
different rates to different portions of the portfolio. Advisor may group certain related
Client accounts for the purposes of achieving the minimum account size and determining
the annualized fee.
Fees are calculated as follows:
A = Sum of End of Day Values During Previous Month
D = Number of Days in Previous Month
F = Annual Fee
M = Number of Days in Billing Month
Y = Number of Days in Calendar Year
Average Daily Balance = A/D
The tiered fee schedule is then applied to portions of the portfolio and summed:
(Amount Billed at Rate 1 x (M/Y) x F)+ (Amount Billed at Rate 2 x (M/Y) x F) + (Amount
Billed at Rate 3 x (M/Y) x F) = Total Fee
For example in the case of a portfolio with an average daily balance of $2,140,000 during
the month of June 2016, the fee billed in July 2016 would be calculated as follows:
($1,000,000 x (31/366) x .01) + ($1,140,000 x (31/366) x .0050) = $846.99 + $482.79 =
$1,329.78
Clients may terminate their account within five (5) business days of signing the
Investment Advisory Agreement for a full refund. Clients may terminate advisory
services with thirty (30) days written notice. Client shall be given thirty (30) days prior
written notice of any increase in fees, and Client will acknowledge, in writing, any
agreement of increase in said fees. Accounts belonging to spouses and immediate
household members may be combined in applying the fee schedule above.
pro bono activities, etc.)
Somnio in its sole discretion, may negotiate to charge a lesser management fee based
upon certain criteria (i.e., anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future
additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account
composition, pre-existing Client, account retention,
Your billable account shall not include checking accounts or savings accounts and will
include only those accounts identified in the advisory agreement.
Financial Planning and Consulting Fees
Somnio Financial Group, LLC generally includes financial planning and consulting
services in its investment management fee for Clients whose investment management
fee exceeds $8,000 annually. For Clients who wish to engage the firm for financial
planning or consulting services and whose management fee is less than $8,000 annually,
8
Somnio Financial Group, LLC
the firm generally charges on an annual flat fee basis. These fees range anywhere from
$1,000 to $20,000 and are determined based upon the level and scope of the services to
be provided. If the Client engages Somnio for additional investment advisory services,
we may offset all or a portion of our consulting or financial planning fees based upon the
amount paid for investment advisory services.
Prior to engaging Somnio to provide financial planning and/or consulting services, the
Client is required to enter into a written agreement with Somnio setting forth the terms
and conditions of the engagement.
Somnio, in its sole discretion, may reduce the flat fee for their financial planning and
consulting services and/or charge a lesser asset management fee based upon certain
criteria (e.g., historical relationship, type of assets, anticipated future earning capacity,
anticipated future additional assets, dollar amounts of assets to be managed, related
accounts, account composition, negotiations with Clients, etc.).
Client Payment of Fees
Fees during Partial Quarters of Service
Asset management fees are paid monthly in advance. Financial planning and consulting
fees are paid quarterly in advance.
pro rata
For the initial period of services, the fees are calculated on a
basis.
The Agreement between Somnio and the Client will continue in effect until terminated
by either party pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Somnio's fees are prorated
through the date of termination and any remaining balance is charged or refunded to the
Client, as appropriate.
Additional Client Fees Charged
If assets are deposited into or withdrawn from an investment management account after
the inception of a month, the fee payable with respect to such assets will not be adjusted
or prorated based on the number of days remaining in the month but instead will be
computed in the average daily balance at the end of the month.
Prepayment of Client Fees
Clients may incur certain charges imposed by the Financial Institutions and other third
parties such as custodial fees, charges imposed directly by an ETF or mutual fund in the
account, which are disclosed in the fund's prospectus (e.g., fund management fees and
other fund expenses), deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire
transfer, and electronic fund fees. Other fees may include postage and handling and
miscellaneous fees (fee levied to recover costs associated with fees assessed by self
regulatory organizations). These transaction charges are usually small and incidental to
the purchase or sale of a security. The selection of the security is more important than
the nominal fee that the custodian charges to buy or sell the security. For more details on
the brokerage practices, see Item 12 of this brochure.
Somnio charges investment management fees monthly in advance. Financial planning
External Compensation for the Sale of Securities to Clients
and consulting services are charged quarterly in advance.
Somnio does not receive any external compensation for the sale of securities to Clients.

Somnio Financial Group, LLC
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Sharing of Capital Gains
Fees are not based on a share of the capital gains or capital appreciation of managed
securities. Somnio does not use a performance-based fee structure because of the
conflict of interest. Performance based compensation may create an incentive for the
adviser to recommend an investment that may carry a higher degree of risk to the Client.
Item 7: Types of Clients
Description
Account Minimums
Somnio generally provides its services to individuals and high net worth individuals.
Client relationships vary in scope and length of service.
Somnio generally works with Client's whose net worth is $1,000,000 or more. However,
Somnio reserves the right to accept Clients of any net worth, and on occasion work with
Clients whose net worth is below this threshold.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
Security analysis methods may include fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and
cyclical analysis. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that Clients should be
prepared to bear. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns.
Fundamental analysis involves evaluating a stock using real data such as company
revenues, earnings, return on equity, and profits margins to determine underlying value
and potential growth. Technical analysis involves evaluating securities based on past
prices and volume. Cyclical analysis involves analyzing the cycles of the market.
In developing a financial plan for a Client, Somnio’s analysis may include cash flow
analysis, investment planning, risk management, tax planning and estate planning. Based
on the information gathered from the Client, a detailed strategy is tailored to the Client’s
specific situation.
Investment Strategy
The main sources of information include Morningstar, financial newspapers and
magazines, annual reports, prospectuses, and filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Security Specific Material Risks
The investment strategy for each Client is based upon the objectives stated by the Client
during consultations. The Client may change these objectives at any time. Each Client
executes an Investment Policy Statement that documents their objectives and their
desired investment strategy.
All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Fundamental
analysis may involve interest rate risk, market risk, business risk, and financial risk.
Risks involved in technical analysis are inflation risk, reinvestment risk, and market risk.
Cyclical analysis involves inflation risk, market risk, and currency risk. Our investment

Interest-rate Risk
•
approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investors face the following
investment risks and should discuss these risks with Somnio:
• Market 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.
•
: 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
Inflation Risk
events.
: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will buy more
than a dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of
• Currency Risk
inflation.
• Reinvestment Risk
: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of
the dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is
also referred to as exchange rate risk.
• Business 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.
• Liquidity 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.
• Financial 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.
: 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.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information

Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Broker-Dealer or Representative Registration
Somnio is not registered as a broker dealer and does not have affiliated persons who are
registered representatives of a broker dealer.
Material Relationships Maintained by this Advisory Business and Conflicts of
Interest
Robert Roy is affiliated with Somnio Financial Group, LLC, where he serves as a Tax
Professional/Enrolled Agent. Clients may obtain tax-related services through Somnio
Financial Group, LLC. Mr. Roy does not receive additional compensation for providing
tax services beyond his advisory compensation. Approximately 6% of his professional
time is devoted to this activity. Clients are under no obligation to use Somnio and may
engage any tax professional of their choosing.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics Description
The employees of Somnio have committed to a Code of Ethics (“Code”). The purpose of
our Code is to set forth standards of conduct expected of Somnio employees and
addresses conflicts that may arise. The Code defines acceptable behavior for employees
of Somnio. The Code reflects Somnio and its supervised persons’ responsibility to act in
the best interest of their Client. One area the Code addresses is when employees buy or
sell securities for their personal accounts and how to mitigate any conflict of interest
with our Clients. We do not allow any employees to use non-public material information
for their personal profit or to use internal research for their personal benefit in conflict
with the benefit to our Clients.
Somnio’s policy prohibits any person from acting upon or otherwise misusing non-
public or inside information. No advisory representative or other employee, officer or
director of Somnio may recommend any transaction in a security or its derivative to
advisory Clients or engage in personal securities transactions for a security or its
derivatives if the advisory representative possesses material, non-public information
regarding the security.
Somnio’s Code is based on the guiding principle that the interests of the Client are our
top priority. Somnio’s officers, directors, advisors, and other employees have a fiduciary
duty to our Clients and must diligently perform that duty to maintain the complete trust
and confidence of our Clients. When a conflict arises, it is our obligation to put the
Client’s interests over the interests of either employees or the company.
The Code applies to “access” persons. “Access” persons are employees who have access
to non-public information regarding any Clients' purchase or sale of securities, or non-
public information regarding the portfolio holdings of any reportable fund, who are
involved in making securities recommendations to Clients, or who have access to such
12
Somnio Financial Group, LLC
recommendations that are non-public. Somnio will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics
to any Client or prospective Client upon request.
Advisory Firm Purchase of Same Securities Recommended to Clients and Conflicts
of Interest
Somnio and its employees may buy or sell securities that are also held by Clients. In
order to mitigate conflicts of interest such as trading ahead of Client transactions,
employees are required to disclose all reportable securities transactions as well as
provide Somnio with copies of their brokerage statements. Somnio employees may buy
or sell securities at the same time they buy or sell securities for Clients. In order to
mitigate conflicts of interest such as front running, employees are required to disclose all
reportable securities transactions as well as provide Somnio with copies of their
brokerage statements.
The Chief Compliance Officer of Somnio is Robert Roy, Jr.. He reviews all employee
trades each quarter. The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of
employees does not affect the markets and that Clients of the firm receive preferential
treatment over employee transactions.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Factors Used to Select Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions
Somnio will require the use of a particular broker-dealer based on their duty to seek
best execution for the client, meaning they have an obligation to obtain the most
favorable terms for a client under the circumstances. The determination of what may
constitute best execution and price in the execution of a securities transaction by a
broker involves a number of considerations and is subjective. Factors affecting
brokerage selection include the overall direct net economic result to the portfolios, the
efficiency with which the transaction is affected, the ability to effect the transaction
where a large block is involved, the operational facilities of the broker-dealer, the value
of an ongoing relationship with such broker and the financial strength and stability of
the broker. Somnio will select appropriate brokers based on a number of factors
including but not limited to their relatively low transaction fees and reporting ability.
Somnio relies on its broker to provide its execution services at the best prices available.
Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. Clients pay for
any and all custodial fees in addition to the advisory fee charged by Somnio. Somnio does
not receive any portion of the trading fees.
• Directed Brokerage
Somnio will require the use of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
• Best Execution
Somnio does not allow directed brokerage.
Investment advisors who manage or supervise Client portfolios on a discretionary
basis have a fiduciary obligation of best execution. The determination of what may
constitute best execution and price in the execution of a securities transaction by a
broker involves a number of considerations and is subjective. Factors affecting
brokerage selection include the overall direct net economic result to the portfolios,
the efficiency with which the transaction is effected, the ability to effect the
13
Somnio Financial Group, LLC
• Soft Dollar Arrangements
transaction where a large block is involved, the operational facilities of the broker-
dealer, the value of an ongoing relationship with such broker and the financial
strength and stability of the broker. The firm does not receive any portion of the
trading fees.
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines soft dollar practices as
arrangement under which products or services other than execution services are
obtained by Somnio from or through a broker-dealer in exchange for directing
Client transactions to the broker-dealer. As permitted by Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Somnio receives economic benefits as a result of
commissions generated from securities transactions by the broker-dealer from the
accounts of Somnio. These benefits include both proprietary research from the
broker and other research written by third parties.
A conflict of interest exists when Somnio receives soft dollars. This conflict is
mitigated by disclosures, procedures, and the firm’s Fiduciary obligation to act in
the best interest of its Clients and the services received are beneficial to all Clients.
Aggregating Securities Transactions for Client Accounts
Somnio is authorized in its discretion to aggregate purchases and sales and other
transactions made for the account with purchases and sales and transactions in the
same securities for other Clients of Somnio. All Clients participating in the aggregated
order shall receive an average share price with all other transaction costs shared on a
pro-rated basis.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Schedule for Periodic Review of Client Accounts or Financial Plans and Advisory
Persons Involved
Review of Client Accounts on Non-Periodic Basis
Investment management accounts are reviewed at least twice a year and potentially
more frequently when market conditions dictate. Financial plans are reviewed annually
with Clients. During these reviews, an Advisor will review account performance and
revisit investment objectives with Clients. Appropriate recommendations will be made
based on any change in a Client's circumstances or goals.
Content of Client Provided Reports and Frequency
Other conditions that may trigger a review of Clients’ accounts are changes in the tax
laws, new investment information, and changes in a Client's own situation.
Clients receive account statements no less than quarterly for managed accounts.
Account statements are issued by the Advisor’s custodian. Client receives confirmations
of each transaction in account from Custodian and an additional statement during any
month in which a transaction occurs.

Somnio Financial Group, LLC
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Economic benefits provided to the Advisory Firm from External Sources and
Conflicts of Interest
Somnio receives additional economic benefits from external sources as described above
in Item 12.
Referral to Law Firms
Partners of Somnio personally use the legal services of the law firm Zlokower & Miller,
LLP for their estate planning needs. Somnio also periodically refers Clients to and
receives referrals from this law firm. Somnio neither pays nor receives referral fees from
Zlokower & Miller, LLP. Partners of Somnio personally use the legal services of the law
firm Tavano, McCuin & Bonanno, LLC for their real estate law needs. Somnio also refers
Clients to and receives referrals from this law firm. Somnio neither pays to nor receives
referral fees from Tavano, McCuin & Bonanno, LLC.
Item 15: Custody
Account Statements
All assets are held at qualified custodians, which means the custodians provide account
statements directly to Clients at their address of record at least quarterly. Clients are
urged to compare the account statements received directly from their custodians to the
performance report statements prepared by Somnio. Somnio is deemed to have
constructive custody if and when advisory fees are directly deducted from Client’s
account by the custodian on behalf of Somnio.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Discretionary Authority for Trading
Somnio requires discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of
Clients. Somnio has the authority to determine, without obtaining specific Client consent,
the securities to be bought or sold, and the amount of the securities to be bought or sold.
Somnio does not receive any portion of the transaction fees or commissions paid by the
Client to the custodian on certain trades.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Proxy Votes
Somnio does not vote or provide recommendations on voting for proxies on securities.
Clients are expected to vote their own proxies. The Client will receive their proxies
directly from the custodian of their account or from a transfer agent.
