Services
WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC (“Advisor” and “WCG”) d/b/a The Wealth Consulting Group offers asset management
services based on the individual needs of the client. This Brochure describes the advisory services offered under WCG
Wrap Accounts. WCG can participate in wrap fee programs sponsored by other firms. For more information about the
Advisor's other investment advisory services, please contact the Advisor for a copy of a similar brochure or visit
www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.
In WCG Wrap Accounts, Advisor provides ongoing investment advice and management of assets in the client’s account.
Advisor provides advice on the purchase and sale of various types of investments, such as mutual funds, exchange-
traded funds (“ETFs”), variable annuity subaccounts, equities, and fixed-income securities. Advisor provides advice
that is tailored to the individual needs of the client based on the investment objective chosen by the client. Clients
may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or groups of securities by indicating in the written advisory
agreement with Advisor.
The Advisor provides management services on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis. The client may authorize the
Advisor to have discretion on the advisory agreement. All accounts are managed by the Investment Adviser
Representative (“IAR”) according to the Investment objective for the accounts. Advisor provides ongoing
supervision over the IAR managing an account.
The IAR may delegate portfolio management responsibilities to the Advisor using one of the Advisor’s model portfolios.
This sub-advisor is a separate offering consisting of portfolio design, investment consulting, trade execution, and
portfolio rebalancing services. The sub-advisor utilizes the account custodian and services are provided through WCG
through a separate written agreement. IARs of Advisor are under no obligation to utilize these services and WCG
Clients who utilize this service are not charged a separate fee. The IARs pay for these services themselves as a
business expense.
Assets for most program accounts are held at LPL Financial (“LPL”), Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., and Fidelity Brokerage
Services, LLC as custodian(s). Other accounts and accounts that are managed by a third party may be custodied by a
separate custodian.
Fees
In WCG Wrap Accounts, clients pay advisors a single annual advisory fee for advisory services and execution of
transactions. Clients do not pay brokerage commissions, markups, or transaction charges for the execution of
transactions in addition to the advisory fee. The advisory fee is negotiable between the client and the Advisor and
is set out in the advisory agreement. The advisory fee is a percentage based on the value of all assets in the
account, including cash holdings. The maximum advisory fee charged by WCG is 2.5%. Fees for similarly situated
accounts will differ due to the negotiation of the advisory fee with the IAR, the size of the account, the
complexity of the client's servicing needs, long-term or family relationship with the IAR, and services requested
and time commitment. Fees may also be waived for employees or relatives of the advisor. The advisory fee may
be higher than the fee charged by other investment advisers for similar services. The advisory fee is paid to Advisor
and is shared between Advisor and its associated persons. Advisor does not accept performance-based fees for program
accounts.
Asset-Based Pricing (“ABP”) Fee
WCG advisors can choose an Asset-Based Fee (ABP) through accounts custodied at LPL Financial or
4
transaction-based pricing. An ABP fee is a percentage charge on the dollar amount of assets in the account
in lieu of individual transaction fees on trades executed in the account. The ABP is in addition to the
advisory fee charged by the WCG Financial Advisor and in addition to the administrative fee (where
applicable). The asset-based fees applicable to your account were negotiated based on the total amount of
assets collectively maintained with the custodian of the assets. The ABP is calculated and paid to the
custodian directly each month and is used to cover the transaction expenses to implement and trade the
individual investment positions in the account.
Transaction-Based Pricing (“TBP”) fee: Schwab, Fidelity and LPL offer custodial transaction-based pricing fees.
The custodial transaction-based charges are billed by and paid to the custodian, on trade date, when a
transaction is executed through the custodian and is based on the specific security or investment involved in the
transaction. Custodial transaction-based charges are deducted from WCG’s wrap fee. The custodial transaction-
based charges cover various transaction costs, such as mutual fund fees, brokerage commissions and mark-
ups/mark-downs for fixed-income securities.
WCG’s advisory fees are billed in advance or in arrears.
It is important to note that the fees charged to clients can vary based on the investment adviser representative
advising the account. An advisor may negotiate the fees at their sole discretion with the client, based on the
complexity of the customer’s situation, the scope of services provided, time commitment, and the experience and
expertise of the advisor. Please note the Advisor may group certain related Client accounts, often known as
“householding”, for the purposes of achieving the minimum account size and determining the annualized fee.
The advisory fee will be disclosed as an“Exhibit A” attached to the investment management agreement. In addition,
fee schedules are set forth by the platform provider and agreed upon and monitored by WCG in their sole discretion
with the client, so long as such fees fall within the ranges approved by the Advisor.
WCG will bill you for our investment advice through LPL Financial’s billing system, or through our third-party billing
systems. For clients who are billed based on a percentage of account assets, quarter-end fee assessments will be
calculated using one of the following methodologies:
• Using the LPL Financial system, the fee is calculated by taking the value of the account (based on the fair
market value as assessed by the qualified custodian on the last day of the quarter) and multiplying that
value by your advisory fee, the result is then divided by 360, representing days per accounting year and
multiplying that result by the number of days in the month (based on 30 days in the month).
• Using the third-party systems, the fee is calculated the same way except based on 365/366 days per
accounting year and the actual days in the month.
Note: LPL’s quarter-end fee assessment is based on the settlement date, while the third-party assessment is based on
the valuation as of the last day of the quarter. Because of the different accounting methods, there may be slight
variances in your assessed investment advisory fee. However, both methods are acceptable accounting practices. If
you have any questions regarding the differences in fee calculation methods or how your fees are assessed, you are
highly encouraged to contact WCG for further guidance.
The advisory fee is deducted from the account by the custodian of the assets based on a written authorization
from the client. The custodian calculates and deducts the advisory fee quarterly in advance orarrears. If the advisory
agreement is terminated before the end of the quarterly period, the client is entitled to a pro-rated refund of any
pre-paid quarterly advisory fee based on the number of days remaining in the quarter after the termination date.
Generally, advisory fees assessed by WCG do not include the manager's fee, nor does it include brokerage commissions
and other trading costs of transactions (such as mark-ups and mark-downs); mutual fund 12b-l fees; sub-transfer
5
agent, networking, and omnibus processing fees; transfer taxes, fund management fees, and administrative servicing
fees; certain deferred sales charges on previously purchased mutual funds and other transaction charges and service
fees, IRA and Qualified Retirement Plan fees; administrative servicing fees for trust accounts; and other taxes and
charges required by law or imposed by exchanges or regulatory bodies. Fees for these platforms are found in the
sponsor's or manager's Form ADV.
Further information regarding fees and charges assessed by mutual funds, variable annuities, and exchange-traded
funds that are passed on to a client is outlined in the sponsor's or manager's Form ADV and in that mutual fund's or
annuity's prospectus and other disclosure documents, which are available upon request by contacting your IAR.
Important information related to the fees for all available investment platforms is described in additional detail below.
LPL Financial (“LPL”) SWM Platform:
Transaction costs are included in a single fee that covers both advisory fees and transaction costs, the latter of
which is paid by the adviser. As described previously, WCG has the option to negotiate with the custodian for a
flat basis point or flat fee to cover all of the transaction charges or will pay the standard transaction fees. It is important
to remember that the IAR can charge a higher overall advisory fee in order to offset their cost for the transaction
charges involved in the management of the portfolio. Transaction fees vary by broker and/or custodian and can vary
by IAR. Please ask your IAR for details on transaction fees and/or commissions specific to your account.
The appropriateness of a SWM WRAP account can depend on several factors, including, among other things, client
investment objectives and financial situation, frequency of withdrawals from the accounts, the IAR's investment
strategies and trading patterns including the frequency of trading and the number and size of the transactions.
Clients should consider that depending upon the level of the fee charges, the amount of portfolio activity in their
accounts, the value of services that are provided, and other factors, SWM can exceed the aggregatecost of services
if they were to be provided separately. A transaction-based pricing arrangement can be more cost-effective for accounts
that do not experience frequent trading activity or client withdrawals which would increase the number of transactions.
WCG primarily utilizes mutual funds that are part of the custodian's No-Transaction Fee (NTF) platform. This
platform allows WCG to buy mutual funds without transaction fees being charged to the account. The client may
still pay fees associated with mutual fund family fees that are described in their prospectus and the custodian's fee
disclosure. Although clients do not pay a transaction charge for transactions in a SWM account, clients should be
aware that WCG can pay LPL transaction charges for those transactions. The transaction charges paid by Advisor vary
based on the type of transaction (e.g., mutual fund, equity, or ETF) and for mutual funds based on whether or
not the mutual fund pays 12b-1 fees and/or recordkeeping fees to LPL. Because the Advisor pays the transaction
charges in SWM accounts, there is a conflict of interest in cases where the mutual fund is offered at both $0 and $26.50.
Clients should understand that the cost to WCG of transaction charges may be a factor that the Advisor considers
when deciding which securities to select and how frequently to place transactions in a SWM account.
In many instances, LPL makes available mutual funds in a SWM account that offer various classes of shares,
including shares designated as Class A Shares and shares designed for advisory programs, which can be titled, for
example, as "Class I," 'institutional," "retail," "service," "administrative" or "platform" share classes ("Platform Shares").
The Platform Share class offered for a particular mutual fund in SWM in many cases will not be the least expensive
share class that the mutual fund makes available and was selected by LPL in certain cases because the share class
pays LPL compensation for the administrative and recordkeeping services LPL provides to the mutual fund. Client
should understand that another financial services firm may offer the same mutual fund at a lower overall cost to
the investor than is available through SWM.
Although WCG does not sell Class A share mutual funds, it is important to note that A Shares typically pay LPL a
6
12b-1 fee for providing brokerage-related services to the mutual funds. Platform Shares are generally not subject to
12b-1 fees. As a result of the different expenses of the mutual fund shares classes, it is generally more expensive for
a client to own Class A Shares than Platform Shares. An investor in Platform Shares will pay lower fees over time
and keep more of his or her own investment returns than an investor who holds Class A Shares of the same fund.
Clients should consider any additional indirect expenses borne as a result of mutual fund fees when negotiating
and discussing with their Advisor the advisory fee for the management of an account.
As noted above, mutual funds are sold with different share classes, whichcarry different cost structures. Eachavailable
share class is described in the mutual fund's prospectus. When WCG purchases, or recommends the purchase of,
mutual funds for a client, WCG selects the share class that is deemed to be in the client’s best interest, taking into
consideration cost, tax implications, and other factors. When the fund is available for purchase at net asset value,
WCG will purchase, or recommend the purchase of, the fund at net asset value. WCG also reviews the mutual funds
held in accounts that come under our management to determine whether a more beneficial share class is available,
considering cost, tax implications, and the impact of contingent deferred sales charges.
Other Types of Fees and Charges
Program accounts will incur additional fees and charges from parties other than the Advisor as noted below. These fees
and charges are in addition to the advisory fee paid to Advisor. Advisor does not share in any portion of these third-
party fees.
LPL Financial, as the broker-dealer providing brokerage and execution services on program accounts, and various
custodians will impose certain fees and charges. LPL notifies clients of these charges at account opening and makes
available a list of these fees and charges onits website at www.lpl.com. The custodian that holds the account will deduct
these fees and charges directly from the client’s program account.
There are other fees and charges that are imposed by other third parties that apply to investments in programaccounts.
Some of these fees and charges are described below.
•
If a client’s assets are invested in mutual funds or other pooled investment products, clients should be
aware that there will be two layers of advisory fees and expenses for those assets. Client will pay an advisory
fee to the fund manager and other expenses as a shareholder of the fund. Client will also pay Advisor the
advisory fee with respect to those assets. Most of the mutual funds available in the program may be purchased
directly. Therefore, clients could generally avoid the second layer of fees by not using the management services
of an Advisor and by making their own investment decisions.
• Certain mutual funds impose fees and charges such as contingent deferred sales charges, early redemption fees,
and charges for frequent trading. These charges may apply if the client transfers into or purchases such a fund
with the applicable charges in a program account.
Although only no-loadand load-waived mutual funds can be purchased in a program account, as noted previously,
the client should understand that some mutual funds pay asset-based sales charges or service fees (e.g., 12b-1
fees) to the custodian with respect to account holdings.
•
If a client holds a variable annuity as part of an account, there are mortality, expense, and administrative
charges, fees for additional riders on the contract, and charges for excessive transfers within a calendar
year imposed by the variable annuity sponsor.
Further information regarding fees assessed by a mutual fund, or variable annuity is available in the appropriate
prospectus, which is available upon request from the Advisor or from the product sponsor directly.

Other Important Considerations
• The advisory fee is an ongoing wrap fee for investment advisory services, the execution of transactions,
and other administrative and custodial services. The advisory fee may cost the client more than purchasing the
program services separately, for example, paying an advisory fee plus commissions for each transaction
in the account. Factors that bear upon the cost of the account in relation to the cost of the same services
purchased separately include the type and size of the account, historical and or expected size or the number
of trades for the account, and number and range of supplementary advisory and client-related services
provided to the client.
• The advisory fee also may cost the client more than if assets were held in a traditional brokerage account.
In a brokerage account, a client is charged a commission for each transaction, and the representative has
no duty to provide ongoing advice with respect to the account. If the client plans to follow a buy-and-hold
strategy for the account or does not wish to purchase ongoing investment advice or management services,
the client should consider opening a brokerage account rather than a program account.
• The Advisor recommending the program to the client receives compensation as a result of the client’s
participation in the program. This compensation includes the advisory fee and also may include other
compensation, such as bonuses, awards, or other things of value offered by LPL Financial to the Advisor
or its associated persons. The amount of this compensation may be more or less than what the Advisor would
receive if the client participated in other LPL Financial programs, and programs of other investment advisors
or paid separately for investment advice, brokerage, and other client services. Therefore, the Advisor may
have a financial incentive to recommend a program account over other programs and services.
• The investment products available to be purchased in the program can be purchased by clients outside of
a program account, through broker-dealers, or other investment firms not affiliated with Advisor.
Economic Benefits
As a registered investment adviser, WCG has access to the institutional platform of your account custodian. As such,
WCG will also have access to research products and services from your account custodian and/or other brokerage firms.
These products are in addition to any benefits or research WCG pay for with soft dollars, andmay include financial
publications, information about particular companies and industries, research software, and other products or services
that provide lawful and appropriate assistance to our firm in the performance of our investment decision-making
responsibilities. Such research products and services are provided to all investment advisers that utilize the
institutional services platforms of these firms and are not considered to be paid for with soft dollars. However, you
should be aware that the commissions charged by a particular broker for a particular transaction or set of transactions
may be greater than the amounts another broker who did not provide research services or products might charge.
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.- Institutional
In addition, WCG receives aneconomic benefit from Schwabin the formof the support products and services it makes
available to us and other independent investment advisors whose clients maintain their accounts at Schwab. The
availability to us of Schwab's products and services is not based on us giving particular investment advice, such as
buying particular securities for our clients.
Services that Benefit You
Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products, execution of
securities transactions, and custody of client assets. The investment products available through Schwab include
8
some to which WCG might not otherwise have access or that would require a significantly higher minimum initial
investment by our clients. Schwab’s services described in this paragraph generally benefit you and your account.
Services that May Not Directly Benefit You
Schwab also makes available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not directly benefit you or your
account. These products and services assist us in managing and administering our clients’ accounts. They include
investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of third parties. WCG may use this research to service all or
some substantial number of our client’s accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab. In addition to
investment research, Schwab also makes available software and other technology that:
facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts.
• provide access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account statements).
•
• provide pricing and other market data; facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts; and assist
with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting.
Services that Generally Benefit Only Us
Schwab also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business enterprise. These
services include:
technology, compliance, legal, and business consulting;
• Educational conferences and events;
•
• publications and conferences on practice management and business succession;
• access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers;
• discount of up to $4,250 on PortfolioCenter® software.
Schwabmay provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party vendors to provide the
services to us. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for some of these servicesor pay all or a part of a third party’s
fees. Schwab may also provide us with other benefits such as occasional business entertainment for our personnel.
Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC
WCG has an arrangement with Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (together with all affiliates, "Fidelity") through which
Fidelity provides WCG with Fidelity's "platform" services. The platform services include, among others, brokerage,
custodial, administrative support, record keeping, and related services that are intended to support firms like WCG
in conducting business and in serving the best interests of their clients. Fidelity charges brokerage commissions and
transaction fees for effecting certain securities transactions (i.e., transactions fees are charged for certain no- load
mutual funds and commissions are charged for individual equity and debt securities transactions). Fidelity enables
WCG to obtain many no-load mutual funds without transaction charges and other no-load funds at nominal
transaction charges. Fidelity's commission rates are generally considered discounted from customary retail
commission rates. However, the commissions and transaction fees charged by Fidelity may be higher or lower than
those charged by other custodians and broker-dealers. As part of the arrangement, Fidelity also makes available to
WCG, at no additional charge, certain research, and brokerage services, including research services obtained by
Fidelity directly from independent research companies, as selected by WCG (within specified parameters).
These research and brokerage services include:
• provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements);
•
facilitate trade execution and allocate bundled trade orders for multiple client accounts);
• provide research, pricing, and other market data;
9
facilitate payment of WCG's fees from its clients' accounts;
compliance, legal and business consulting; and
•
• assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting;
•
• publications, and conferences on practice management and business succession.
As a result of receiving such services for no additional cost, WCG may have an incentive to continue to use or
expand the use of Fidelity's services. WCG examined this potential conflict of interest when it chose to enter into
the relationship with Fidelity and has determined that the relationship is in the best interests of its clients and satisfies
its client obligations, including its duty to seek the best execution. WCG and Fidelity are not affiliated, nor is there
any broker-dealer affiliation between WCG and Fidelity.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
WCG does not receive client referrals from broker-dealers in exchange for cash or other compensation, such
as brokerage services or research.
Retirement Plan Services
WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC provides advisory services to employer sponsored retirement plans with participant directed
investments. Services provided fall under Sections 3(21) and 3(38) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended (ERISA).
When serving as a 3(38) investment manager, WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC will act as fiduciary, as defined by ERISA, in a
discretionary capacity, taking responsibility for selecting, monitoring, and adjusting the Plan’s investment lineup
according to the Plan’s Investment Policy Statement (IPS). The 3(38) Investment Management Agreement, executed
between WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC and the Plan Sponsor, will disclose the full details and provisions of the services
provided.
When serving as a 3(21) investment advisor, WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC will act as a co-fiduciary with the Plan Sponsor.
WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC will make plan investment recommendations for the Plan Sponsor’s ultimate approval or
rejection. The Plan Sponsor will be responsible for documenting any decision they make and implementing any
recommendation. The 3(21) Investment Advisor Agreement, executed between WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC and the Plan
Sponsor, will disclose the full details and provisions of the services provided.
Although WCG is deemed a fiduciary under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, WCG may also provide Plan Consulting
Services that are non-fiduciary for purposes of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). These
services may include participant education, enrollment support, due diligence reviews, and benchmarking. The scope
of services and applicable terms will be set forth in the governing agreement. WCG does not provide ERISA fiduciary
advice when performing these services),
WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC does not serve as administrator or trustee of the employer sponsored retirement plan. WCG
Wealth Advisors, LLC does not have the authority to initiate third-party disbursements of Plan funds or securities with
the exception of, for some plans, having written authorization from the Plan Sponsor to deduct our fees.
To the extent required under ERISA Section 408(b)(2), WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC will disclose any material changes to
required information as soon as practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days after becoming aware of the change,
unless extraordinary circumstances delay the disclosure. Upon written request from the responsible plan fiduciary or
Plan Administrator, WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC will provide, within thirty (30) days, any information related to the
Retirement Plan Services Agreement and associated compensation necessary for the plan to satisfy its ERISA reporting
and disclosure requirements, unless extraordinary circumstances prevent timely delivery.
10
Rollovers
In accordance with general WCG policy, WCG IARs do not provide recommendations about whether to roll assets out
of employer-sponsored retirement Plans. If Client is a participant in an employer-sponsored retirement plan such as a
401(k) plan and decides to roll assets out of the plan into the Account, WCG IARs have a financial incentive to encourage
the Client to invest those assets in the Account, because WCG will be paid on those assets, for example, through advisory
fees. You should be aware that such fees likely will be higher than those a participant pays through an employer-
sponsored plan, and there can be maintenance and other miscellaneous fees. As securities held in employer-sponsored
plans are generally not transferable to the Account, commissions and sales charges may be charged when liquidating
such securities prior to the transfer, in addition to commissions and sales charges previously paid on transactions in the
plan. However, this conflict of interest is mitigated by WCG’s policy prohibiting its IARs from recommending clients roll
out of employer-sponsored plans into a WCG individual retirement account (“IRA”), though IARs may assist by educating
clients on their options as well as various pros and cons of initiating a roll-out of an employer-sponsored plan and may
recommend how IRA assets be invested after the client has determined to roll out of the plan.
Fees for Retirement Plan Services
For retirement plan services, Plan Sponsors are charged fees as set forth in the applicable Advisory Agreement.
Fees are typically structured as a percentage of plan assets under management (“AUM”). Fees are generally calculated
based on the plan’s value, determined using either the quarter-end balance or the average daily balance of plan assets.
In certain cases, WCG may charge a fixed fee or other agreed-upon fee arrangement, as specified in the Advisory
Agreement. Fees may be billed quarterly in advance or in arrears and, in some instances, may be billed on a monthly
basis. The specific fee schedule, billing methodology, and calculation process are detailed in the Advisory Agreement
executed with the Plan Sponsor.
Fees may be deducted directly from plan assets or participant accounts with written authorization, as outlined in the
Advisory Agreement. Alternatively, the Plan Sponsor may be billed directly for the agreed-upon fee. When invoiced,
payment is due within thirty (30) days after the end of the quarter. Clients receive account statements from the plan’s
qualified custodian and should compare them with any reports provided by WCG. If services terminate during a billing
period, prepaid unearned fees will be refunded, or if billed in arrears, fees will be charged only for services provided
through the termination date.
retirement plan consultants,
including
WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC believes that its annual fee is reasonable in relation to the services provided and the
fees charged by other
investment advisors, offering similar
services/programs. However, WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC’s annual fee may be higher or lower than that charged by
other consultants offering similar services and programs. In addition to WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC's compensation,
clients will incur charges imposed at the investment level (e.g., mutual fund advisory fees and other fund expenses)
and charges imposed by the Plan’s custodian and Third-Party Administrator (if applicable). Descriptions of mutual
fund fees and expenses are available in each mutual fund prospectus.
The Plan’s custodian or the Third-Party Administrator to the Plan will send statements to the Plan, at least
quarterly, showing all disbursements from the Plan, including, if applicable, the amount of the fee paid to WCG Wealth
Advisors, LLC directly from the Plan and when a such fee is deducted directly from the Plan. Any discrepancies
between fee billing notices received from WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC and the statements received from the Plan
custodian or Third-Party Administrator should be immediately reported to WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC and/or to
the issuer of the account statements (the Plan custodian or Third-Party Administrator).
Brokerage commissions and/or transaction ticket fees charged by the custodian will be billed directly to the client
by the custodian. WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC will not receive any portion of such brokerage commissions or transaction
fees from the custodian or the client.
11
The fees charged by WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC are in addition to other costs charged by third parties forcustodial,
legal, accounting, or record-keeping tasks. In addition, the client may incur certain charges imposed by third parties
other than WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC in connection with investments made through the Plan, including but not
limited to, 12(b)-1 fees and surrender charges, variable annuity fees and surrender charges, and qualified retirement
plan fees.
Item 5: Account Requirements and Types of Clients
A minimum account value is not generally required for the program. If you are invested in the WCG Model
Portfolios, the minimum requirement ranges from $15,000-$500,000 depending on the portfolio you select. The
program is available for individuals, high net worth individuals, individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), banks and
thrift institutions, pension, and profit-sharing plans, including plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, state and municipal government entities,
corporations, and other business entities. WCG is currently not working with other types of clients or pursuing them
as prospects but would not turn away any opportunities that may arise.
Item 6: Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation
WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC, through its Investment Advisor Representatives, is responsible for tailored investment
advice and asset management on the purchase and sale of various types of investments, such as:
• mutual funds
• exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)
•
variable annuity subaccounts
• equities
•
fixed income securities
•
Structured products,
• Alternative Investments
Advice is provided to clients based on their individual needs and investment objectives. Clients may impose restrictions
on investing in certain securities or groups of securities in the written advisory agreement.
WCG generally requires that Investment Advisor Representatives involved in determining or giving investment
advice have several years of experience dealing with individuals and/or small businesses. WCG does not select, review,
or recommend partners or portfolio managers not registered with WCG.
There are no differences between how the wrap fee program is managed and how other accounts are managed.
The other non-wrap fee programs provided by the advisor include:
• Asset Management
Investment advisor representatives provide advice on the purchase and sale of various types of investments, such
as mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), variable annuity subaccounts, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”),
equities, fixed income securities. The advice is tailored to the individual needs of the client
based on the investment objective chosen by the client in order to help assist clients in attempting to meet their
financial goals. Accounts are reviewed on a regular basis and rebalanced as necessary according to each client’s
investment profile.
12
As previously mentioned, a minimum account value is not required for the programunless you are in the WCG Model
Portfolios. WCG Model Portfolios range from $15,000-$500,000. Assets managed in a wrap fee account are not
managed differently from a non-wrap fee account. However, WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC may charge a higher fee,
up to 2.5%, and receive a portion of the wrap fee for services provided.
As of December 31, 2025, WCG had $6,276,683,993 in discretionary assets under management.
The Advisor has entered into agreements with various third-party advisors. Under these agreements, the Advisor
offers clients various types of programs sponsored by these advisors. All third-party investment advisors to whom
the Advisor will refer clients will be licensed as investment advisors by their resident state and any applicable
jurisdictions or registered investment advisors with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
After gathering information about a client's financial situation and investment objectives, the Advisor will assist the
client in selecting a particular third-party program. The Advisor receives compensation pursuant to its agreements
with these third-party advisors for introducing clients to these third-party advisors and for certain ongoing services
provided to clients.
This compensation is disclosed to the client in a separate disclosure document and is typically equal to a percentage
of the investment advisory fee charged by that third-party advisor or a fixed fee. The disclosure document provided
by the Advisor will clearly state the fees payable to the Advisor and the impact to the overall fees due to these payments.
Since the compensation the Advisor receives may differ depending on the agreement with each third-party advisor,
the Advisor may have an incentive to recommend one third-party advisor over another, if the compensation
arrangements are more favorable. Since the independent third-party advisor may pay the fee for the investment
advisory services of the Advisor, the fee paid to the Advisor is not negotiable under most circumstances.
Fees paid by clients to independent third parties are established and payable in accordance with Form ADV 2A or
other equivalent disclosure documents of each independent third-party advisor to whom the Advisor refers its
clients, and may or may not be negotiable, as disclosed in the disclosure documents of the third-party advisor.
Clients who are referred to third-party investment advisors will receive full disclosure, including services rendered
and fee schedules, at the time of the referral, by delivery of a copy of the relevant third-party advisor's Form ADV
2A or equivalent disclosure document at the same time as the Form ADV 2A or equivalent disclosure document of
the Advisor.
In addition, if the investment program recommended to a client is a wrap fee program the client will also receive
the wrap fee brochure provided by the sponsor of the program. The Advisor will provide each client with all of the
appropriate disclosure statements, including disclosure of solicitation fees to the Advisor and its advisory
associates.

• Personal Wealth Portfolios Program (PWP)

investment advisor representatives will obtain the necessary financial data from the client, assist the client in
determining the suitability of the MWP program and assist the client in setting an appropriate investment objective.
The Advisor will initiate the steps necessary to open an MWP account and have the discretion to select a model
portfolio designed by LPL Financial’s Research Department consistent with the client’s stated investment objective. LPL
Financial’s Research Department is responsible for selecting the mutual funds within a model portfolio and for
making changes to the mutual funds selected.
The client will authorize LPL Financial to act on a discretionary basis to purchase and sell mutual funds (including
in certain circumstances exchange-traded funds) and to liquidate previously purchased securities. The client will
also authorize LPL Financial to effect rebalancing for MWP accounts.
In the future, the MWP programmay make available model portfolios designed by strategists other than LPL Financial’s
Research Department. If such models are made available, Advisor will have the discretion to choose among the
available models designed by LPL Financial and outside strategists.
A minimum account value of $10,000 – $100,000 is generally required (maybe lower) for MWP depending on the

Schwab Advisory Program
•
Managed Account Access Program (Access”)
The Managed Account Access Program (“Access”) is a “single contract” structure that allows the Advisor to work
with an array of money managers. Other features and benefits include, but are not limited to, bundled fees and access
to over 75 managers on this platform. . The money managers will manage the accounts on a discretionary basis. The
account minimum for the Managed Account Access program is typically $100,000 for accounts utilizing equities but
can be more for fixed income.
An advisor recommending the wrap fee program receives compensation as a result of a client’s participation in the
program. The amount of this compensation may be more than what the person would receive if the client
participated in other programs or paid separately for investment advice, brokerage, and other services. Therefore,
advisors may have a financial incentive to recommend the wrap fee program over other programs or services.
There may be additional fees on assets held in the wrap program, such as mutual fund expenses and mark-ups,
mark-downs, or spreads paid to market makers. A more detailed description of these fees and circumstances is
detailed above in Item 4 above.
For more information about the associated person of the Advisor managing the account, the client should refer to
the Brochure Supplement for the associated person, which the client should have received along with this Brochure
at the time client opened the account.
LPL Financial performs certain administrative services for Advisor, including the generation of quarterly
performance reports for program accounts. Client will receive an individual quarterly performance report, which
provides performance information on a time-weighted basis. The performance reports are intended to inform clients
as to how their investments have performed for a period, both on an absolute basis and compared to leading
investment indices.
Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
• Alternative Strategy Mutual Funds. Certain mutual funds available in the program invest primarily in
alternative investments and/or strategies. Investing in alternative investments and/or strategies may not
be suitable for all investors and involves special risks, such as risks associated with commodities, real
estate, leverage, selling securities short, the use of derivatives, potential adverse market forces, regulatory
changes, and potential illiquidity. There are special risks associated with mutual funds that invest
principally in real estate securities, such as sensitivity to changes in real estate values and interest rates
and price volatility because of the fund’s concentration in the real estate industry.
• Closed-End Funds. Client should be aware that closed-end funds available within the program are not
readily marketable. In an effort to provide investor liquidity, the funds may offer to repurchase a certain
percentage of shares at net asset value on a periodic basis. Thus, clients may be unable to liquidate all or
a portion of their shares in these types of funds.
• Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). ETFs are typically investment companies that are legally classified as open-
end mutual funds or UITs. However, they differ from traditional mutual funds in that ETF shares are listed
on a securities exchange. Shares canbe bought and sold throughout the trading day like shares of other publicly
traded companies. ETF shares may trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value. This
difference between the bid price and the asking price is often referred to as the “spread.” The spread varies
over time based on the ETF’s trading volume and market liquidity and is generally lower if the ETF has a
15
lot of trading volume and market liquidity and higher if the ETF has little trading volume and market liquidity.
Although many ETFs are registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940
like traditional mutual funds, some ETFs, in particular those that invest in commodities, are not registered
as an investment company.
• Exchange-Traded Notes (ETNs). An ETN is a senior unsecured debt obligationdesigned to track the total return
of an underlying market index or other benchmark. ETNs may be linked to a variety of assets, for example,
commodity futures, foreign currency, and equities. ETNs are similar to ETFs in that they are listed on an
exchange and can typically be bought or sold throughout the trading day. However, an ETN is not a mutual
fund and does not have a net asset value; the ETN trades at the prevailing market price. Some of the
more common risks of an ETN are as follows. The repayment of the principal, interest (if any), and the payment
of any returns at maturity or upon redemption are dependent upon the ETN issuer’s ability to pay. In
addition, the trading price of the ETN in the secondary market may be adversely impacted if the issuer’s
credit rating is downgraded. The index or asset class for performance replication in an ETN may or may not
be concentrated in a specific sector, asset class, or country and may therefore carry specific risks.
• Options. Certain types of options trading are permitted in order to generate income or hedge a security
held in the program account; namely, the selling (writing) of covered call options or the purchasing of put
options on a security held in the program account. Client should be aware that the use of options involves
additional risks. The risks of covered callwriting include the potential for the market to rise sharply. In such
case, the security may be called away and the program account will no longer hold the security. The risk
of buying long puts is limited to the loss of the premium paid for the purchase of the put if the option is
not exercised or otherwise sold by the program account.
•
Structured Products. Structured products are securities derived from another asset, such as a security or
a basket of securities, an index, a commodity, a debt issuance, or a foreign currency. Structured products
frequently limit the upside participation in the reference asset. Structured products are senior unsecured debt
of the issuing bank and are subject to the credit risk associated with that issuer. This credit risk exists whether
or not the investment held in the account offers principal protection. The creditworthiness of the issuer does
not affect or enhance the likely performance of the investment other than the ability of the issuer to meet
its obligations. Any payments due at maturity are dependent on the issuer’s ability to pay. In addition, the
trading price of the security in the secondary market, if there is one, may be adversely impacted if the issuer’s
credit rating is downgraded. Some structured products offer full protection of the principal invested, others
offer only partial or no protection. Investors may be sacrificing a higher yield to obtain the principal guarantee.
In addition, the principal guarantee relates to the nominal principal and does not offer inflation protection. An
investor in a structured product never has a claim on the underlying investment, whether a security, zero
coupon bond or option. There may be little or no secondary market for the securities and information
regarding independent market pricing for the securities may be limited. This is true even if the product has a
ticker symbol or has been approved for listing on an exchange. Tax treatment of structured products may be
different from other investments held in the account (e.g., income may be taxed as ordinary income even
though payment is not received until maturity). Structured CDs that are insured by the FDIC are subject to
applicable FDIC limits.
• Hedge Funds and Managed Futures. Hedge and managed futures funds are available for purchase in the
program by clients meeting certain qualification standards. Investing in these funds involves additional
risks including, but not limited to, the risk of investment loss due to the use of leveraging and other speculative
investment practices and the lack of liquidity and performance volatility. In addition, these funds are not
required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors and may involve complex tax
structures and delays in distributing important tax information. Client should be aware that these funds are
16
not liquid as there is no secondary trading market available. At the absolute discretion of the issuer of the
fund, there may be certain repurchase offers made from time to time. However, there is no guarantee that
the client will be able to redeem the fund during the repurchase offer.
• Variable Annuities. If the client purchases a variable annuity that is part of the program, the client will
receive a prospectus and should rely solely on the disclosure contained in the prospectus with respect to
the terms and conditions of the variable annuity. Client should also be aware that certain riders purchased with
a variable annuity may limit the investment options and the ability to manage the subaccounts.
• Margin Accounts. Client should be aware that margin borrowing involves additional risks. Margin borrowing
will result in an increased gainif the value of the securities in the account goes up but will result in increased
losses if the value of the securities in the account goes down. The custodian, acting as the client’s creditor,
will have the authority to liquidate all or part of the account to repay any portion of the margin loan, even if
the timing would be disadvantageous to the client. For performance illustration purposes, the margin interest
charge will be treated as a withdrawal and will, therefore, not negatively impact the performance figures
reflected on the quarterly advisory reports.

issuer identifies in the proxy materials. In addition, WCG does not accept authority to take action with respect to
legal proceedings relating to securities held in the account.
Item 7: Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers
In WCG Wrap Accounts, the IAR is responsible for account management; there is no separate portfolio manager
involved. The IAR obtains the necessary financial data from the client and assists the client in setting an appropriate
investment objective for the account. The IAR obtains this information by having the client complete an advisory
agreement and other documentation. Clients are encouraged to contact the Advisor if there have been any changes
in the client’s financial situation or investment objectives or if they wish to impose any reasonable restrictions on
the management of the account or reasonably modify existing restrictions. Client should be aware that the
investment objective selected for the program is an overall objective for the entire account and may be inconsistent
with a particular holding and the account’s performance at any time. Client should further be aware that
achievement of the stated investment objective is a long-term goal for the account.
WCG's policy requires an annual client meeting (one review every 12 months) to determine if there have been any
changes in the client's financial situation, investment objectives, or restrictions. In addition, the meeting should
incorporate the account performance, appropriateness of the account, and any other information determined
pertinent to the client's situation. The annual meeting may occur by phone, in person, via e-mail, or video
conference and documentation will be maintained to evidence that for example the following topics were reviewed:
Investment Objective and Goals
• Client’s financial status
• Risk Tolerance
• Time Horizon
•
• Asset Allocation and/or Account Holdings
Item 8: Client Contact with Portfolio Managers
Client should contact WCG at any time with questions regarding the program account.
Item 9: Additional Information
Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisors are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events
that would be material to your evaluation of an advisory firm or the integrity of a firm’s management.
Any such disciplinary information for WCG and its Investment Advisor Representatives would be provided herein and is
publicly accessible by selecting the Investment Adviser Search option at http://www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.
There are no legal or disciplinary events to disclose.
19
Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Investment Adviser Representatives may also be Registered Representatives of LPL Financial, an unaffiliated SEC
registered and FINRA/SIPC member broker/dealer. Clients may choose to engage a registered investment adviser in
their capacity as a Registered Representative of the unaffiliated LPL Financial broker/dealer to implement investment
recommendations on a commission basis. Please refer to Item 12 for a discussion of the benefits the Adviser may receive
from LPL Financial and the conflicts of interest associated with receipt of such benefits.
Representatives of our firm may also be insurance agents/brokers. They may offer insurance products and receive
customary fees as a result of insurance sales. A conflict of interest arises as these insurance sales create an incentive to
recommend products based on what the compensation advisor and/or our supervised persons may earn and may not
necessarily be in the best interests of the client. Such potential conflicts of interest are subject to review by the Chief
Compliance Officer.
Neither WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC nor any of the management persons are registered or have a registration pending
to register as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, commodity trading advisor, or an associated
person of the foregoing entities.
IARs are permitted to engage in certain approved activities other than the provision of advisory services through WCG,
and in certain cases, an IAR could receive greater compensation through the outside business than through WCG. For
example, an IAR could also be an accountant, real estate agent, tax preparer, or lawyer. To the extent that these IARs
provide such services all such services shall be performed by those IARs in their individual professional capacities,
independent of WCG, for which services WCG shall not receive any portion of the fees charged by the IAR (referral or
otherwise). It is expected that these IARs, solely incidental to their activities, may recommend WCG’s services to certain
of their clients. No client of WCG is under any obligation to use the services of these IARs. The Chief Compliance Officer
remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding the above conflict of
interest and if you engage with an IAR for services separate from WCG, you may wish to discuss with him or her any
questions you have about the compensation he or she receives from the engagement.
WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC may recommend and select independent, third-party money managers in addition to the
third-party managers offered through LPL Financial to manage all or a portion of a client’s account. It should be noted
that the total fees incurred by clients when utilizing third-party managers will include both management fees payable
to the third-party managers for their services as well as the fees payable to WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC for their
investment advisory services.
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC maintains a Code of Ethics, which serves to establish a standard of business conduct for all
employees that are based upon fundamental principles of openness, integrity, honesty, and trust.
The Code of Ethics includes guidelines regarding personal securities transactions of its employees and Investment
Adviser Representatives. WCG’s Code of Ethics permits employees and Investment Adviser Representatives or related
persons to invest for their ownpersonal accounts in the same or different securities that an IAR may purchase for clients
in program accounts.
This presents a potential conflict of interest because trading by an employee or an IAR in their personal securities
account in the same or different security onor about the same time as trading by a client couldpotentially disadvantage
the client. WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC addresses this conflict of interest by requiring in its Code of Ethics that employees
and IARs report certain personal securities transactions and holdings to the Chief Compliance Officer for review.
20
An Investment Adviser Representative is considered a fiduciary. As a fiduciary, it is an investment adviser’s responsibility
to provide fair and full disclosure of all material facts and to act solely in the best interest of each of our clients always.
We have a fiduciary duty to all clients. Our fiduciary duty is considered the core underlying principle for our Code of
Ethics which also includes Insider Trading and Personal Securities Transactions Policies and Procedures. We always
require all our supervised persons to conduct business with the highest level of ethical standards and to comply with
all federal and state securities laws. Upon employment or affiliation and at least annually thereafter, all supervised
persons will sign an acknowledgment that they have read, understand, and agree to comply with our Code of Ethics.
Our firm and supervised persons must conduct business in an honest, ethical, and fair manner and avoid all
circumstances that might negatively affect or appear to affect our duty of complete loyalty to all clients. This disclosure
is provided to give all clients a summary of our Code of Ethics. However, if a client or a potential client wishes to review
our Code of Ethics in its entirety, a copy will be provided promptly upon request.
WCG and its associated persons may buy or sell the same securities as clients at the same time which can create a conflict
of interest. In order to mitigate conflicts of interest, such as frontrunning, no less than quarterly, personal holdings are
reviewed of its affiliated persons. These reviews ensure that the personal trading of affiliated persons does not
disadvantage Clients of WCG.
Neither WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC nor a related person recommends to clients or buys or sells for client accounts, or
securities in which you or a related person has a material financial interest.
Review of Accounts
For those clients to whom WCG provides investment advisory services, account reviews are conducted at least annually
by its IARs. All investment advisory clients are advised that it remains their responsibility to advise their IAR of any
changes in his/her/its financial situation, investment objectives, and/or risk tolerance. All clients (in person, via virtual
meeting, or by telephone) are encouraged to discuss and review all such changes with their IAR on an annual basis.
Clients who do not respond to requests to meet will be sent a communication via mail or email to help them understand
their current financial position and assist their IAR in the continued management of the account(s).
IARs can or will conduct account reviews on an other-than-periodic basis upon the occurrence of a triggering event,
such as a change in a client's financial situation, investment objectives, risk tolerance, market corrections, and client
request.
As mentioned previously, WCG has a dedicated Financial Planning department (“ARC”) that generates financial plans
based on the client's goals and objectives that have been discussed with the WCG Financial Advisor. ARC or financial
planners on WCG financial advisor teams prepare the financial plans with review by ARC/ WCG Financial Advisor before
the presentation of the plan to the client.
Financial planning clients do not receive reviews of their written plans unless they take action to schedule a financial
consultation with their IAR. WCG does not provide ongoing services to Comprehensive Financial Planning or Hourly
Consulting clients unless they separately contract with WCG for a post-financial plan meeting or an update to their
initial written financial plan.
Retirement Plan Consulting clients receive reviews of their pension plans for the duration of the pension consulting
service. IARs also provide ongoing services to pension consulting clients where we meet with such clients upon their
request to discuss changes to their circumstances and resulting updates to their plans.
Clients are provided, at least quarterly, with written transaction confirmation notices and regular written summary
account statements directly from the broker-dealer/custodian and/or program sponsor for the client accounts. WCG
Wealth Advisors, LLC may also provide a written periodic report summarizing account activity and performance.
21
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
WCG receives an economic benefit from LPL Financial in reimbursement for marketing-related expenses. Please see the
detailed discussion of the categories of marketing-related expenses and potential conflicts of interest in Item 12
Brokerage Practices.
WCG and its employees may receive additional compensation from product sponsors. However, such compensation
may not be tied to the sale of any products. Compensation may include items such as gifts consistent with firm policy,
occasional meals or entertainment (e.g, sporting events), and reimbursements related to educational meetings with
IARs, client workshops, marketing events, or advertising initiatives, including services used to identify prospective
clients. Product sponsors may also pay for or reimburse WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC for costs associated with education
or training events attended by its employees and IARs, as well as firm-sponsored conferences and events.
WCG Insurance, LLC (an affiliated entity) is a licensed insurance agency, and in such capacity may offer for sale,
insurance-related products on a commission basis, including the sale of such products to investment advisory clients of
WCG. WCG Financial Advisors providing advice may be licensed insurance agents. Normal commissions from insurance
products are earned and paid by insurance companies to WCG Financial Advisors when such products are placed directly
with their clients. Insurance products offered through various insurance vendors are often recommended to clients of
WCG to minimize clients’ exposure to identified risks. Although clients are under no obligation to purchase insurance
products or utilize the companies recommended by WCG, clients often do purchase such products when the needs arise.
For clients of WCG who do purchase such products, causing commissions or recurring revenue to be generated, such
commissions or recurring revenue are paid to the WCG Financial Advisors.
There are no other economic benefits received from non-clients in connection with providing investment advice.
WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC may receive referral fees from other third-party managers when we refer clients. Thus, we
have a conflict of interest in our decision to recommend a third-party manager that pays WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC a
referral fee. At all times, WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC will act in the best interest of the client when recommending a
third-party manager.
When a client is referred to a third-party manager by us, we will provide the client with a copy of the third-party
managers Form ADVPart 2 Disclosure Brochure, if WCG is anunaffiliated registered investment adviser firm, as required
by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
The referral agreements between WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC, and any third-party manager we refer a client to will not
result in any charges to clients in addition to the normal level of advisory fees charged.
WCG Wealth Advisors, LLC (“WCG”) may enter into written agreements with third parties (“Promoters”) to pay a flat
fee or a percentage of advisory fees for client referrals in the future. Such arrangements create a conflict of interest, as
Promoters would have a financial incentive to recommend WCG. Any such arrangements will be structured to comply
with the SEC Marketing Rule (Rule 206(4)-1), including requirements that Promoters provide prospective clients with
written disclosure describing their relationship with WCG and the compensation received. WCG will maintain written
agreements with Promoters and implement reasonable oversight of such arrangements. Clients will not pay higher
advisory fees as a result of these arrangements unless otherwise disclosed.
LPL Financial
WCG and/or its Dually Registered Persons are incented to join and remain affiliated with LPL Financial and to
recommend that clients establish accounts with LPL Financial through the provision of Transition Assistance (discussed

in Item 12 above). LPL also provides other compensation to WCG and its Dually Registered Persons, including but not
limited to, bonus payments, repayable and forgivable loans, stock awards, and other benefits.
The receipt of any such compensation creates a financial incentive for your representative to recommend LPL
Financial ascustodianfor the assets in your advisory account. We encourage you to discuss any such conflicts of interest
with your representative before making a decision to the custody of your assets at LPL Financial.
The Advisor receives asset-based advisory fees as a result of its clients’ participation in the LPL-sponsored programs.
The amount of these fees can be more or less than what WCG would receive if a client participated in other LPL programs
or paid separately for investment advice, brokerage, and other client services. Additionally, WCG or one or more of its
IARs will receive all or a portion of certain third-party fees that are paid by program clients. Therefore, WCG has a
financial incentive when recommending that its clients open an account under the LPL- managed account program. As
part of WCG’s fiduciary duty to its clients, WCG and its IARs will endeavor at all times to put the interest of the clients
first and will only make recommendations when they are reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the client.
Please refer to Item 5 of this Brochure for further details regarding fees.
