Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
The Pitti Group Wealth Management, LLC (“The Pitti Group” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor was organized as a Limited Liability
Company (“LLC”) under the laws of the State of New York in May 2016 and became a registered investment
advisor in June 2021. The Pitti Group is owned and operated by Salvatore J. Pitti CFP®, AIF®, CRPS® (President)
and Matthew S. Pitti (Senior Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer).
This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory
services provided by The Pitti Group. For information regarding this Disclosure Brochure, please contact Matthew
Pitti at (585) 337-4000.
B. Advisory Services Offered
The Pitti Group offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, families, trusts,
estates, businesses, and retirement plans (each referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary,
the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. The Pitti Group's fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For
more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in
Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Investment Management Services
The Pitti Group provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through
continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and
related advisory services. The Pitti Group works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and
objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to design a portfolio strategy. The Pitti Group will
construct investment portfolios primarily utilizing individual stocks, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds,
and/or individual bonds. The Advisor may also utilize certificates of deposit (“CDs”), covered options, and/or other
types of investments, as appropriate to meet the needs of the Client. The Advisor may retain other types of
investments from the Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or
other reasons as identified between the Advisor and the Client.
The Pitti Group’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate
positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market
conditions. The Pitti Group will construct, implement and 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
the Advisor.
The Pitti Group evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal
due diligence process. The Pitti Group may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to
diversify the portfolio. The Pitti Group may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class
weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement.
The Pitti Group 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 the Client, generating cash to meet
Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
At no time will The Pitti Group accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited
authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the
Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.

Page 4
Retirement Plan Accounts – When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will recommend that a
Client rollover its retirement plan account into an account managed by the Advisor. In such instances, the Advisor
will serve as an investment fiduciary as that term is defined under The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 (“ERISA”). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or increase its
current) advisory fee as a result of the rollover. No client is under any obligation to roll over retirement plan assets
to an account managed by the Advisor.
Financial Planning Services
The Pitti Group will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients, either as a
component of investment management services or pursuant to a written financial planning agreement. Services are
offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals and objectives. Generally, such
financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific financial consultation
based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas
of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings,
insurance needs, and other areas of a Client’s financial situation.
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.
The Pitti Group may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique
situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s
financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may
not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of contract date,
assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for
investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would
increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any
recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to
act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the
transaction through the Advisor.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
The Pitti Group provides 3(21) retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans (each a “Plan”)
and the company (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the
Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Each engagement is
customized to the needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services generally include:
Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
• Vendor Analysis
• Plan Participant Enrollment and Education
•
• Performance Reporting
• Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
• ERISA 404(c) Assistance
• Benchmarking Service
These services are provided by The Pitti Group serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2), the
Plan Sponsor is provided with a written description of The Pitti Group’s fiduciary status, the specific services to be
rendered and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement.

C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging The Pitti Group to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one
or more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor
and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – The Pitti Group, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy
that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – The Pitti Group will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – The Pitti Group will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the
stated goals and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – The Pitti Group will provide investment management and
ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
The Pitti Group typically includes securities transaction fees together with its investment advisory fees. Including
these fees into a single asset-based fee is considered a “Wrap Fee Program”. The Advisor customizes its
investment management services for its Clients. The Advisor sponsors the The Pitti Group Wrap Fee Program
solely as a supplemental disclosure regarding the combination of fees. Depending on the level of trading required
for the Client’s account[s] in a particular year, the Client may pay more or less in total fees than if the Client paid its
own transaction fees. Please see Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program Brochure.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, The Pitti Group manages approximately $ 337,907,687 in Client assets, $ 241,789,236
of which is managed on a discretionary basis and $ 96,118,451 on a non-discretionary basis. Clients may request
more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into one or more
written agreements with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter pursuant to the terms of the
investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the market value of assets under
management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Investment advisory fees range from 0.50% to 1.50% annually
based on several factors, including: the scope and complexity of the services to be provided; the level of assets to be
managed; and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific reporting
requirements, portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee.
The investment advisory fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the
end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into
consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by
The Pitti Group will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the
Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing.
Financial Planning Services
The Pitti Group offers financial planning services either on an hourly basis or a fixed engagement fee. Hourly fees
range up to $250 per hour. Fixed engagement fees are based on the expect number of hours to complete the

Phone: (585) 337-4000 | Fax: (585) 310-0501

Page 6
engagement at the Advisor’s hourly rate. Fees may be negotiable based on the nature and complexity of the services
to be provided and the overall relationship with the Advisor. An estimate for total hours and/or total costs will be
provided to the Client prior to engaging for these services.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual asset-based fee ranging from 0.25% to 1.00%
based on the size of the Plan and the complexity of the services to be provided. Fees are typically billed in advance of
each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement. Certain Plan platforms may
have different fee billing methodologies. Retirement plan fees are based on the market value of assets under
management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Fees may be negotiable depending on the size and complexity
of the Plan.
B. Fee Billing
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the
Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted from
the Client’s account[s] at the beginning of the respective quarter. The amount due is calculated by applying the
quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management with The Pitti Group at the end of the
prior quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of
the investment advisory fee. Clients are urged to also review and compare the statement provided by the Advisor to
the brokerage statement from the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform a verification of fees. Clients provide
written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by The Pitti Group to be paid directly from their
account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate account forms provided
by the Custodian.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning fees may be invoiced up to fifty percent (50%) of the expected total fee upon execution of the
financial planning agreement. The balance shall be invoiced upon completion of the agreed upon deliverable[s].
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement plan advisory fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the assets of the Plan,
depending on the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement and/or record keeper’s process for processing
fees.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties in connection with investments made on behalf
of the Client’s account[s]. The Pitti Group includes securities transactions costs as part of its overall investment
advisory fee through the Pitti Group Wrap Fee Program. Securities transaction fees for Client-directed trades may
be charged back to the Client. Please see Item 4.D. above as well as Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program Brochure.
In addition, all fees paid to The Pitti Group for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the
expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs 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 may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of The Pitti
Group, but would not receive the services provided by The Pitti Group 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
The Pitti Group to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for
additional information.

D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Investment Management Services
The Pitti Group may be compensated for its investment management services in advance of the quarter in which
services are rendered. Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing
advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment advisory agreement within five
(5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will
incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and
payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid investment advisory fees from
the effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor
is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Financial Planning Services
The Pitti Group may require an advance deposit for financial planning engagements. Either party may terminate the
financial planning agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also
terminate the financial planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost
to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the
point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Client shall be billed for
actual hours logged on the planning project times the contractual hourly rate or in the case of a fixed fee engagement,
the percentage of the engagement scope completed by the Advisor. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any
unearned, prepaid planning fees. The Client’s financial planning agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable
without the Client’s prior consent.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
The Pitti Group is typically compensated for its services at the beginning of the quarter before advisory services are
rendered. Either party may request to terminate a retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by providing
advance written notice to the other party. The Client shall be responsible for investment advisory fees up to and
including the effective date of termination. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid investment
advisory fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s retirement plan services
agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
The Pitti Group does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for
securities transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Certain Advisory Persons are also licensed as independent insurance professionals. As independent insurance
professionals, Advisory Persons may earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products,
including insurance products they sell to Clients. Insurance commissions earned by Advisory Persons are separate
and in addition to our advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because the Advisory Person may
have an incentive to recommend insurance products to the Client for the purpose of generating commissions rather
than solely based on the Client’s needs. However, you are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to
purchase insurance products through any Advisory Person affiliated with the Advisor.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
The Pitti Group does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by
The Pitti Group are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or
securities held by any Client.
The Pitti Group 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
The Pitti Group offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, families, trusts,
estates, businesses, and retirement plans. The Pitti Group generally does not impose a minimum relationship size.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
The Pitti Group primarily employs fundamental and technical analysis methods in developing investment strategies
for its Clients. Research and analysis from The Pitti Group are 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. This criteria
consists generally of 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 the Advisor in evaluating 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. The Advisor monitors
these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the
Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in determining the
recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts to identify market patterns and
trends, which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. The primary risk
in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if
the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that The Pitti Group will be able to accurately predict such a
reoccurrence.
As noted above, The Pitti Group generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent
with their financial goals. The Pitti Group will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year, but
may hold for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At
times, The Pitti Group may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of
the Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class.
B. 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. The Pitti Group 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.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the
investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may
lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to
determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are
included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
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[s]. The Advisor 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
The Pitti Group Wealth Management, LLC

information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals or
other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts.
The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction
process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk
based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs has a large bid-
ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may
dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased
or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.
Bonds
Bonds are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e. the risk that bond prices will fall
if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to maturity, and the coupon
rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e. the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower rate than
was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e. the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at a rate that
exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk, i.e. the risk
associated with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the company defaulting on its
repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e. the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the
company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6) Liquidity
Risks, i.e. the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the bond.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the
mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual
fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same
price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Options Contracts
Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of time. Option contracts
are leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single contract to control many shares of an underlying stock.
This leverage can compound gains or losses.
Margin Borrowings
The use of short-term margin borrowings may result in certain additional risks to a Client. For example, if securities
pledged to brokers to secure a Client's margin accounts decline in value, the Client could be subject to a "margin
call", pursuant to which it must either deposit additional funds with the broker or be the subject of mandatory
liquidation of the pledged securities to compensate for the decline in 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
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving The Pitti Group or its management persons.
The Pitti Group values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the
requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor
or Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov
by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 314685.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Insurance Agency Affiliations
As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are also licensed insurance professionals. Implementations of
insurance recommendations are separate and apart from one’s role with The Pitti Group. As an insurance
professional, an Advisory Person may receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the various
insurance companies whose products are sold. Advisory Persons are not required to offer the products of any
particular insurance company. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset regular advisory fees. This
may cause a conflict of interest in recommending certain products of the insurance companies. Clients are under
no obligation to implement any recommendations made by an Advisory Person or the Advisor.
Security Claims Class Action Litigation
Trade PMR engaged Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Broadridge”), to monitor and file securities claims class
action litigation paperwork with claims administrators on behalf their clients. The Pitti Group does not receive any
fees or remuneration in connection with this service nor does it receive any fees from the third-party provider(s).
Broadridge earns a fee based on a flat percentage of all claims it collects on behalf of The Pitti Group’s clients. This
fee is collected and retained by Broadridge out of the claims paid by the claim administrator. Clients may opt out of
this service at any time. If a client opts out, The Pitti Group does not have an obligation to advise or take any action
on behalf of a client with regard to class action litigation involving investments held in or formerly held in a client’s
account.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
The Pitti Group has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to
each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with The Pitti Group (“Supervised Persons”). The Code
was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to each
Client. The Pitti Group and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each
Client. It is the obligation of The Pitti Group’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of
the Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address
employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at (585) 337-
4000 or via email at info@thepittigroup.com.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
The Pitti Group allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. The Pitti Group does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the
Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. The Pitti Group does not
have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
The Pitti Group allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients
presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and
procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public
information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When

Page 11
trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The
fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can 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 Pitti Group requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review
by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. The Advisor has also adopted written policies and procedures
to detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While The Pitti Group allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be
recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or
traded afterwards. At no time will The Pitti Group, or any Supervised Person of The Pitti Group, transact in
any security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
The Pitti Group does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and
execution services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client
assets and authorize The Pitti Group to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory
agreement. Further, The Pitti Group does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf
of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where The Pitti Group does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the
Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended
Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a custodian not
recommended by The Pitti Group. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the
recommended Custodian is not engaged. The Pitti Group may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such
as, but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client,
and its reputation and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices.
The Pitti Group will generally recommend that Clients establish account[s] at Trade-PMR, Inc. (“Trade-PMR”).
Trade-PMR clears trades and custodies assets through First Clearing, the trade name for by Wells Fargo Clearing
Services, LLC, a non-bank affiliate of Wells Fargo & Company. Trade-PMR acts as an introducing broker on a fully-
disclosed basis. Trade-PMR and First Clearing (collectively the “Custodians”) are FINRA registered broker-dealers
and members of SIPC. Please note, not all advisers require their clients to direct brokerage.
The Pitti Group maintains an institutional relationship with the Custodians, whereby The Pitti Group receives certain
direct and indirect benefits from the Custodians. Please see Item 14 below for additional information.
The following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an
advisor enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for
research and other services. The Pitti Group does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored
or offered by any broker-dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits
from the Custodians. Please see Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - The Pitti Group 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 The Pitti Group will
place trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Please note, not
all advisers require their clients to direct brokerage.

Phone: (585) 337-4000 | Fax: (585) 310-0501
https://thepittigroup.com
Page 12
Further, all Client accounts are traded within their respective account[s]. 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]). The Pitti Group 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.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution,
4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. The Pitti Group will execute its transactions through the
Custodian as authorized by the Client. The Pitti Group may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when
securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading
day. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold
by the close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or
other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any
particular Clients’ accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Advisory Persons and periodically
by the CCO. Formal reviews are offered to be conducted at least annually or more frequently depending on the
needs of the Client.
B. 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 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[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify The Pitti Group 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.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
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 brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may also
provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by The Pitti Group
The Pitti Group may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g. attorneys, accountants,
estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients. Likewise, The Pitti
Group may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
The Pitti Group has established an institutional relationship with the Custodians to assist the Advisor in managing
Client account[s]. Access to the Custodians’ Institutional platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor. The
Advisor receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment
wealth management services to Clients that maintain assets at the Custodians. The software and related systems
support may benefit the Advisor, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor

590 Fishers Station Drive, Suite 110, Victor, NY 14564
Phone: (585) 337-4000 | Fax: (585) 310-0501
https://thepittigroup.com
Page 13
endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of
economic benefits from the Custodian creates a potential conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the
Advisor's recommendation of the Custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or
services. Additionally, the Advisor may receive the following benefits from Custodians: receipt of duplicate Client
confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; access to a trading desk that exclusively services its institutional
participants; access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions and then
allocate the appropriate shares to Client accounts; and access to an electronic communication network for Client
order entry and account information.
Event Sponsorship
Periodically, The Pitti Group holds educational, financial-related seminars that may be firm-only or include external
attendees. These seminars provide sponsorship opportunities for investment issuers and other third-party
providers. Sponsorship fees allow these companies access to the Pitti Group's Advisors and Clients to discuss
ideas, investments, or services, and the cost to host the event is lower to The Pitti Group. The sponsorship fees go
to assist in the payment of the seminar or future seminars. This could be deemed a conflict, as The Pitti Group may
refer business to a certain investment issuer due to their attendance and sponsorship. The Pitti Group attempts to
mitigate any potential conflict as Sponsorship fees are not dependent on assets placed with any specific provider or
on the revenue generated by asset placement.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for
Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
The Pitti Group does not accept or maintain custody of Client accounts, except for the limited circumstances
outlined below:
Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction of
advisory fees, all Clients for whom The Pitti Group exercises discretionary authority must hold their assets with a
"qualified custodian." Clients are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to safeguard their funds and
securities and must instruct The Pitti Group to utilize that Custodian for securities transactions on their behalf.
Clients are encouraged to review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any reports provided by
The Pitti Group to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
The Pitti Group typically 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 The Pitti Group. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of
such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory agreement containing all
applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by The Pitti Group will be in accordance with
each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
The Pitti Group does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements
directly from the Custodian. If the Client directs the Custodian to deliver proxies to the Advisor, the Advisor will not
assume responsibility for voting. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the
Client retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting

Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither The Pitti Group, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair
the ability of The Pitti Group to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither The Pitti Group, nor any of its Advisory
Persons, have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. The Pitti Group is not required to deliver a
balance sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more
for services to be performed six months or more in the future.

Item 4 – Services Fees and Compensation
A. Services
The Pitti Group provides customized investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals,
families, trusts, estates, businesses, and retirement plans (each referred to as a “Client”). This Wrap Fee Program
Brochure is provided as a supplement to the The Pitti Group Form ADV 2A (“Disclosure Brochure”). This Wrap Fee
Program Brochure is provided along with the complete Disclosure Brochure to provide full details of the business
practices and fees when selecting The Pitti Group as your investment advisor.
As part of the investment advisory fees noted in Item 5 – Fees and Compensation of the Disclosure Brochure, The
Pitti Group includes normal securities transaction fees as part of the overall investment advisory fee. Securities
regulations often refer to this combined fee structure as a “Wrap Fee Program”. The Advisor sponsors the The Pitti
Group Wrap Fee Program.
The sole purpose of this Wrap Fee Program Brochure is to provide additional disclosure relating the combination of
securities transaction fees into the single “bundled” investment advisory fee. This Wrap Fee Program Brochure
references back to the The Pitti Group Disclosure Brochure in which this Wrap Fee Program Brochure serves as an
Appendix. Please see Item 4 – Advisory Services of the Disclosure Brochure for details on The Pitti Group’s
investment philosophy and related services.
B. Program Costs
Advisory services provided by The Pitti Group are offered in a wrap fee structure whereby normal securities
transaction costs are included in the overall investment advisory fee paid to The Pitti Group. As the level of trading
in a Client’s account[s] may vary from year to year, the annual cost to the Client may be more or less than engaging
for advisory services where the transactions costs are borne separately by the Client. The cost of the Wrap Fee
Program varies depending on services to be provided to each Client, however, the Client is not charged more if
there is higher trading activity in the Client’s account[s].
A wrap fee program structure has a conflict of interest, as the Advisor may have an incentive to limit the number of
trades placed in the Client’s account[s] or to utilize no transaction fee (“NTF”) funds in order to lower overall costs
to the Advisor. To mitigate this conflict of interest, the Pitti Group and their Custodian, TradePMR, have negotiated
that instead of paying individual transaction fees and other Covered Costs for each Client’s account[s], The Pitti
Group pays the Custodian an annual flat fee. To mitigate this conflict, the Advisor has entered into an asset-based
pricing arrangement with the Custodian whereby all custody and brokerage fees are a flat fee based on level of
assets at the Custodian, and not a per transaction fee. Please see Item 5 – Fees and Compensation of the
Disclosure Brochure for complete details on fees.
C. Fees
Investment advisory fees are generally paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of
the investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the market value of assets under
management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Investment advisory fees range from 0.50% to 1.50% annually
based on several factors, including: the scope and complexity of the services to be provided; the level of assets to be
managed; and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific reporting
requirements, portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee.
The investment advisory fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the
end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into
consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by
The Pitti Group will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the
Custodian’s valuations.
As noted above, the Wrap Fee Program includes normal securities trading costs incurred in connection with the
discretionary investment management services provided by The Pitti Group. Securities transaction fees for Client-
directed trades may be charged back to the Client. Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties

Page 18
in connection with investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. Under this Wrap Fee Program, The Pitti
Group includes securities transactions costs as part of its overall investment advisory fee.
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than The Pitti Group, in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s], which are not included as part of the Wrap Fee Program. For
Clients in The Pitti Group Wrap Fee Program, securities transaction fees are included in the Client’s investment
advisory fee as noted above. The Advisor's recommended Custodian does not charge securities transaction fees for
ETF and equity trades in a Client's account, provided that the account meets the terms and conditions of the
Custodian's brokerage requirements. However, the Custodian typically charges for mutual funds and other types of
investments.
In addition, all fees paid to The Pitti Group for investment advisory services or part of the Wrap Fee Program 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. The Client may also incur other costs assessed by
the Custodian or other parties for account related activity fees, such as wire transfer fees, fees for trades executed
away from the Custodian and other fees. The Advisor does not control nor share in these fees. The Client should
review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by The Pitti Group to fully understand the total fees
to be paid. Please see Item 5.C. – Other Fees and Expenses in the Disclosure Brochure.
D. Compensation
The Pitti Group is the sponsor and portfolio manager of this Wrap Fee Program. The Pitti Group receives
investment advisory fees paid by the Clients for participating in the Wrap Fee Program and pays the Custodian for
the covered costs at the agreed upon annual flat fee.
Item 5 – Account Requirements and Types of Clients
The Pitti Group offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, families, trusts,
estates, businesses, and retirement plans. The Pitti Group generally does not impose a minimum account size for
establishing a relationship. Please see Item 7 – Types of Clients in the Disclosure Brochure for additional
information.
Item 6 – Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation
Portfolio Manager Selection
The Pitti Group serves as sponsor and as portfolio manager for the services under this Wrap Fee Program.
Related Persons
The Pitti Group personnel serve as portfolio managers for this Wrap Fee Program. The Pitti Group does not serve

Performance-Based Fees
The Pitti Group does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by
The Pitti Group are as described in Item 5 – Fees and Compensation of the Disclosure Brochure and are not based
upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held by any Client. The Pitti Group 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.
Supervised Persons
The Pitti Group Advisory Persons serve as portfolio managers for all accounts, including the services described in

Methods of Analysis
Please see Item 8.A – Methods of Analysis of the Disclosure Brochure for details on the research and analysis
methods employed by the Advisor.
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. The Pitti Group 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.
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. Please see Item 8.B. – Risk of Loss in the Disclosure Brochure for details on
investment risks.
Proxy Voting
The Pitti Group does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements
directly from the Custodian. If the Client directs the Custodian to deliver proxies to the Advisor, the Advisor will not
assume responsibility for voting. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the
Client retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 7 – Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers
The Pitti Group is the sponsor and sole portfolio manager for the Program. The Advisor does not share Client
information with other portfolio managers because it is the sole portfolio manager for this Wrap Fee Program.

CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (“CFP®”)
The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP®, and federally registered CFP® (with flame design) marks
(collectively, the “CFP® marks”) are professional certification marks granted in the United States by CERTIFIED
FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP® Board”).
The CFP® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or regulation requires financial planners to
hold CFP® certification. It is recognized in the United States and a number of other countries for its (1) high
standard of professional education; (2) stringent code of conduct and standards of practice; and (3) ethical
requirements that govern professional engagements with clients. Currently, more than 87,000 individuals have
obtained CFP® certification in the United States.
To attain the right to use the CFP® marks, an individual must satisfactorily fulfill the following requirements:
• Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study addressing the financial planning subject
areas that CFP Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the competent and professional delivery
of financial planning services, and attain a Bachelor’s Degree from a regionally accredited United States
college or university (or its equivalent from a foreign university). CFP Board’s financial planning subject
areas include insurance planning and risk management, employee benefits planning, investment planning,
income tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning;
• Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination includes case
studies and client scenarios designed to test one’s ability to correctly diagnose financial planning issues
and apply one’s knowledge of financial planning to real-world circumstances;
• Experience – Complete at least three years of full-time financial planning-related experience (or the
equivalent, measured as 2,000 hours per year); and
• Ethics – Agree to be bound by CFP Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct, a set of documents
outlining the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements in order
to maintain the right to continue to use the CFP® marks:
• Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education hours every two years, including two
hours on the Code of Ethics and other parts of the Standards of Professional Conduct, to maintain
competence and keep up with developments in the financial planning field; and
• Ethics – Renew an agreement to be bound by the Standards of Professional Conduct. The Standards
prominently require that CFP® professionals provide financial planning services at a fiduciary standard of
care. This means CFP® professionals must provide financial planning services in the best interests of their
clients.
CFP® professionals who fail to comply with the above standards and requirements may be subject to CFP Board’s
enforcement process, which could result in suspension or permanent revocation of their CFP®.
