Item 4 – Advisory Business
Advisory Services
4. A. Advisory Firm Description
The Wealth Group, Ltd (“The Wealth Group”) was formed in June 2010 by Con T. McDonald
(“McDonald”). The Wealth Group’s focus is on Individualized Money Management Services for
individuals, high net worth individuals, corporations, charitable organizations, and trusts.
Principal Owner and Manager: Con T. McDonald
4.B Types of Advisory Services
Wealth Analysis and Planning Services:
Wealth Analysis and Planning Services are based on financial goals and objectives, cash flow,
income tax liability, retirement, educational needs, estate tax and insurance requirements
(excluding property and casualty insurance and medical insurance – The Wealth Group, Ltd.
strongly recommends utilizing a specialist for these services). After careful review, compilation
and analysis of the data supplied by the client, The Wealth Group, Ltd. prepares a plan which
includes alternative recommendations for future investment. The recommendations of the plan
can be addressed through our financial services or utilized through an outside service. Actual
implementation is entirely at the discretion of the client, which may require professional
assistance. Recommendations may be in both generic and specific form. The specific
recommendations may include products offered by an associated brokerage firm and/or
investment advisory firm depending on the particular goals and objectives of the client.
Money Management Services:
The Money Management Services are designed to meet the desires, objectives and needs of a
particular client or entity. This process includes determining risk tolerance and an in-depth
understanding of the client’s investment objectives. An investment objectives and suitability
questionnaire may be used in determining the investment parameters. From the investment
questionnaire, an Investment Policy Statement and/or investment directive may be compiled
based on the questionnaire and discussion results.
From this process an appropriate money management strategy will be determined. Depending on
the client’s desires, objectives and needs, we will determine which manager(s) or combination of
manager(s), stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, and/or mutual funds to be utilized. The client
4
may choose to utilize our services (referred to as “internal”) and/or select from a list of “external”
money managers.
Internal Money Management (Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Exchange Traded Funds, and
Cash):
The Wealth Group, Ltd. classifies its internal money management services as a "contrarian/ value"
manager, which is an investment philosophy and investment program of purchasing stocks and
bonds of financially strong "value" companies, currently considered out-of-favor in the financial
markets. We further utilize mutual funds and exchange traded funds for other asset sector
exposure – small cap, mid cap, large cap and foreign exposure. This is done to provide more of a
“balanced” approach if a client desires.
The program is based on investing, compounding of interest, dividend reinvestment and
multiplication of stocks. If the client decides to deposit additional capital, The Wealth Group, Ltd.
will invest the funds when deemed appropriate by market conditions. In addition to a client’s
investment objectives and risk level, market conditions will dictate the allocation between stocks,
mutual funds, bonds, exchange-traded funds, and cash.
We only give investment advice in the stock, mutual fund, exchange trade fund, and bond markets
after we have determined that the client has sufficient capital and can assume the inherent risks
involved with these markets in the manner in which we invest their dollars. We do not
recommend Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) for clients due to the inherent risk associated with IPOs.
Unless a client directs us otherwise, our “internal” money management services are executed
through Charles Schwab, SEI or American Funds serving as a third-party custodian. Schwab, SEI
and/or American Funds, will provide the client with confirmations of all trades and at least
quarterly account statements.
External Money Managers (Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Exchange Traded Funds, and
Cash):
In addition to our internal management services, we also offer clients the ability to select from a
list of external money managers. We present external managers who are able to provide a
different approach to money management than The Wealth Group, Ltd. This different approach
helps clients achieve their investment objectives and goals through a “balanced approach” to their
total investment portfolio.
5
The Wealth Group, Ltd. assists clients with their external money manager selection process by
providing a limited amount of due diligence on the various managers. We review and monitor the
selected money manager as well as verify client’s asset allocation, investment objectives, risk
tolerance and time horizon. The Wealth Group, Ltd.’s clients ultimately make the decision on the
suitability of the money manager for their investment portfolio.
The Wealth Group, Ltd. relies on good faith representations and full disclosure from each money
manager and various monitoring services to report accurate, timely and factual materials,
performance numbers and other information. The Wealth Group, Ltd. believes all information
received from the outside money managers and monitoring services to be accurate and true but we
have no way of verifying or guaranteeing the accuracy or completeness of the information received.
The Wealth Group, Ltd. does not warrant any representations made by any external money manager
or monitoring service. Each external money manager is responsible for compliance with applicable
laws, regulations and disclosure matters deemed to be in their control. Past performance
information provided by money managers and various monitoring services is not verified or audited;
therefore, no assurance can be given that the performance information is accurate. Past
performance is not a guarantee of future results.
This level of money management may be executed through Charles Schwab or SEI due to the
coordination needed between the money manager, the clearing operation and The Wealth Group,
Ltd. All of these manager services and structures are explained in their ADV.
Charles Schwab and SEI provide the client with confirmations of all trades and at least quarterly
account statements.
For each external money manager being considered, we provide a copy of their current ADV Part 2
to each client, which provides a description of services, fees, conflicts of interest and risk.
The client may terminate the relationship with the external money manager by giving written
notice without penalty, subject to the payment of any fees incurred.
4.C.
Client Investment Objectives/Restrictions
Based on client interaction (personal discussions, questionnaires, etc.), The Wealth Group, Ltd.
will make every effort to tailor investment services within mutually agreed parameters.
Depending on each client’s situation, it is possible for a client to impose reasonable restrictions on
the account if desired. With respect to external money managers, clients may or may not be able
tailor or impose restrictions on the account depending on each individual external money
manager.

Fee payment is required when the work is completed, which is normally within 90 days. A client

five (5) day period expires, a client may terminate a contract by written notice to The Wealth

If an outside consultant (attorney, accountant, etc.) is required for additional analysis and advice,
the outside consultant’s fee will be in addition to the amounts disclosed in the above fee schedule.
Money Management Services Fee Schedule:
While The Wealth Group, Ltd.’s management fees are generally competitive with other firms in the
marketplace, lower fee arrangements may be available from other sources in the marketplace.
Internal Money Management:
Our Money Management Fee Schedule (including a combination of stocks, mutual funds,
bonds, exchange traded funds, and cash) for “internal” money management is based upon a
percentage of assets under management. All clients are billed quarterly in arrears. Fees shall
be calculated quarterly based upon fair market value of the portfolio (priced as of the trade
date, not settlement date) of the client assets under management by The Wealth Group, Ltd. as
of the last business day of the month of the quarter ended to be billed, applying the
7
appropriate percentage and dividing the resulting amount by four. The basic fee structure is
as follows:
Assets Under Management
Quarterly Rate

0.3750%
0.3125%
0.2250%
Annual Rate
Up to $500,000

All fees may be negotiated depending on account variables and extenuating circumstances. A
client may terminate an agreement within five business days after signing, without penalty.
Employees, solicitors, and family of employees and solicitors of The Wealth Group, Ltd. may
not be charged a management fee, and this arrangement is not available to the general public.
The broker-dealer/custodian is compensated by account holders through commissions,
transaction-related fees for securities trades and/or other account maintenance fees. Neither
The Wealth Group, Ltd. nor its related parties receive any direct compensation from the
broker-dealer/custodian.
Transaction Fees/Cost (the trading cost), charged by the clearing broker-dealer or custodian
and internal cost of exchange traded funds and mutual funds (12b-1 costs, administrative costs,
cost of operation and expense ratio, etc.) are not included in the above fee schedule.
External Money Managers:
For clients utilizing external money managers, the fee(s) are based on full transparency and
are broken out into three separate charges: The Wealth Group, Ltd.’s fee(s), the external
manager(s) fee(s) and the custodian fee(s).
The Wealth Group Ltd.’s fees range up to one and one-half percent (1.50%) depending on the
size of the account and additional money under management. The second component is the
fee each external manager charges based on its own fee schedule. Then the third fee is the
third party custodian fee (Charles Schwab or SEI) for the brokerage and custody services.
These brokerage and custody services are at their published institutional rate. Market forces
and market rates are the major factors in determining pricing for a client. All fees may be
negotiated depending on account variables and individual circumstances.
8
The Wealth Group, Ltd. reserves the right to impose a minimum annual fee for Internal Money
Management and /or External Money Management.
Other Advisory Fee Arrangements
5.B. Direct Billing of Advisory Fees
Each client may have their account debited for our Money Management services by signing a
Letter of Authorization or clients have the option of being billed directly by The Wealth Group, Ltd.
Fees shall be calculated quarterly based upon fair market value of the portfolio (priced as of trade
date, not settlement date) of the client assets under management by The Wealth Group, Ltd. as of
the last business day of the month of the quarter ended to be billed, applying the appropriate
annual percentage and dividing the resulting amount by four.
Clients will receive notification of fees withdrawn from their account on the statements they
receive from the custodian.
With respect to fees associated with external money managers, these external money managers
may bill the client in arrears or in advance and they may utilize automated debiting or direct
billing depending on each individual external manager per their money management agreement.
With respect to Wealth Analysis and Planning, clients will be invoiced upon completion of the
work. Typically, clients pay for such services by check.
5.C. Other Fees and Expenses
In addition to The Wealth Group, Ltd.’s investment advisory fee(s), the client may be assessed
other fees by the broker-dealers and/or custodians of client’s assets. The client may also incur,
relative to certain investment products, charges imposed directly at the investment product level.
These charges include but are not limited to brokerage fees/commissions charged to the client for
security trades and executions, mutual fund expenses, custodial fees, wire transfer and electronic
fund fees, etc. These additional fees may be billed to the client’s account directly by the broker-
dealer or custodian of record from the client’s assets. Any such fees are exclusive of, and, in
addition to, The Wealth Group, Ltd.’s compensation. The Wealth Group does not receive any
portion of these fees.
Client may establish an account(s) with a broker-dealer/custodian of their choosing. By signing
the account application, client acknowledges and accepts the commission/fee schedule of the
broker-dealer/custodian where he/she establishes those accounts.
9
See Item 12A for further discussion on selection of broker-dealer/custodian for client’s assets.
5.D Advance Payment of Fees
The Wealth Group, Ltd. bills all accounts in arrears and does not receive any advance payment.
External money manager’s billing may be done in arrears or in advance. The external money
manager’s policy relating to the refund of pre-paid fees is disclosed in the respective money
manager’s Form ADV which is provided to client.
5.E Compensation for Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products
Mr. McDonald, as well as other Investment Adviser Representatives, is (are) a Registered
Representative of Capital Investment Brokerage, Inc. and/or Capital Investment Group, Inc. These
two entities are both broker-dealers registered with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(FINRA), SEC, MSRB and applicable states. In addition, he (they) may hold a North Carolina
Insurance License and are appointed with numerous insurance companies for various lines of
insurance. In the capacity of a Registered Representative and/or an insurance agent, the
Investment Adviser Representative may receive commissions and/or premiums from the sale of
investment and insurance products.
A client of The Wealth Group, Ltd. may request that an Investment Adviser Representative of The
Wealth Group, Ltd. effect a securities transaction outside the scope of an agreement for money
management services for compensation, payment of which is based upon the published schedule
of compensation through Capital Investment Brokerage, Inc. and/or Capital Investment Group,
Inc. Clients are advised that they have the option to purchase the recommended securities
product(s) through a broker that is not affiliated with The Wealth Group, Ltd. Mr. McDonald owns
a one percent interest in Capital Investment Brokerage, Inc. and Capital Investment Group, Inc.
Mr. McDonald, or any of the firm’s Investment Adviser Representative’s, when requested to do so,
may assist clients with the implementation of insurance products. Investment Adviser
Representative receives the usual and customary commissions associated with the
implementation of these insurance products through the broker-dealer or a separate independent
insurance brokerage firm. Clients are advised that they have the option to purchase the
recommended product(s) through a broker or agent that is not affiliated with The Wealth Group,
Ltd.
In the capacity of a broker-dealer representative and/or insurance agent, Investment Adviser
Representatives will receive commissions for transactions. Investment Adviser Representatives
10
are also eligible to receive 12b-1 fees for maintaining mutual fund positions and a portion of
insurance premiums for maintaining insurance policies for as long as they remain the broker-
dealer representative or insurance agent of record. Investment Adviser Representatives serving
in the capacity of a broker-dealer representative and/or insurance agent will receive a higher
percentage of total commissions and/or premiums paid when the aggregate amount of
compensation exceeds predetermined compensation amounts.
The receipt of commissions and/or premiums may present a conflict of interest by giving the
Investment Adviser Representative an incentive to recommend investments and/or insurance
based on compensation rather than the client’s needs. Further, the ability of a dually-registered
Investment Adviser Representative to receive a higher percentage of commissions and/or
premiums provides an incentive to recommend higher commission products and/or recommend
increased activity to increase the aggregate amount of commissions and/or premiums generated
so the Investment Adviser Representative can receive a higher percentage of commissions and/or
premiums paid.
The Wealth Group, Ltd. has taken several proactive steps to alleviate this conflict of interest. The
firm has adopted a Code of Ethics, which comprehensively addresses conflicts of interest and
fiduciary responsibilities. Mr. McDonald, other Investment Adviser Representatives and The
Wealth Group, Ltd. do not receive commissions on any money management transactions through
the custodian. All money management compensation is based on a percentage of assets under
management. Clients are also advised that they have discretion on the broker/agent and financial
firm to utilize in implementing recommendations. both on money management and non- money
management transactions.
The Wealth Group, Ltd. does not reduce asset management fees to offset any of the commissions
discussed.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
The Wealth Group, Ltd. does not utilize Performance-Based Fees for its client relationships and
does not receive performance-based fees.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
The Wealth Group, Ltd. serves as a wealth manager and an investment adviser specializing in money
management for individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, businesses, and charitable
organizations. Our focus is to attempt to tailor client portfolios based on each client’s situation,
needs and objectives. The common denominator shared by all clients is a degree of financial
11
success and recognition of the need to coordinate different pieces of an investment portfolio into
an overall well-managed investment structure and portfolio. Our firm has not established any
minimum account size or other requirement for opening and maintaining an account.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
8.A. Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
Our Methods of Analysis are based on accessing publicly available information and doing further
research on chosen stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, and other outside money
managers. We utilize publications including Forbes, Morningstar, Value Line, Wall Street Journal,
and Barron’s, as well as numerous others, as our main research sources. Our research is designed
to review, analyze and provide additional insight into the operations of a company.
Our internal Investment Strategy is based on a philosophy that is contrarian by nature. We do not
try to predict markets. We recommend taking what the market gives us by looking for financially
strong and undervalued securities. We pinpoint those stocks, bonds, exchange traded funds, and
mutual funds which suit our investment criteria then position our portfolios for long-term holding
periods, thus taking advantage of the volatile and cyclical nature of the markets. We emphasize
securities that have high levels of cash with little to no debt. Our firm's investment strategy
focuses on a company’s liquid assets, earning power, real estate holdings and the management of
the company.
By using our resources and research, our portfolio approach is designed to preserve capital and
provide consistent, stable investment performance over the long run.
Our investment strategy is further based on a five-point program:
POINT 1: BARGAIN PRICED STOCKS
We prefer to buy high quality, financially strong securities selling at or near their lows. Investing
in securities that are currently out-of-favor can protect the downside while increasing the upside
potential of the investment.
POINT 2: REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS
Consistent reinvestment of dividends to make additional purchases and dollar cost average into
the market has provided maximum performance for our clients, although, this strategy can be
altered to meet individual needs.
12
POINT 3: TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Generally, all taxes on market gains are paid separately by the client, not from the portfolio. We
strive to create long-term capital gains and have the client pay the lower capital gains tax rate
versus paying a higher ordinary income tax rate on the gains. We ultimately do not want the
taxes to impede growth in the portfolio.
POINT 4: SAVINGS AND PREMIUMS
Flexibility is designed into the program permitting additional deposits on either a random or
systematic basis which allows additional growth and utilizes dollar cost averaging.
POINT 5: MULTIPLICATION OF STOCKS
Securities bought at a low price are sold at a higher price; then we multiply that into two, three, or
four securities at lower prices.
With respect to the use of external money managers, the managers are chosen based on their
ability to complement the client’s overall portfolio in an effort to help a client “balance” their
investment strategy. For specific strategies of the chosen outside managers, clients are directed
to read the information (prospectus, ADV, Morningstar, Manager’s Brochure, etc.) that has been
provided to them.
8.B. Material Risks of Investment Strategies
There can be no guarantee of success of the strategies offered by The Wealth Group, Ltd.
Investment portfolios may be adversely affected by general economic and market conditions such
as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, changes in laws, national and international
political circumstances and numerous other issues that cannot be predicted. These factors may
affect the level and volatility of security pricing and the liquidity of an investment.
Trading in the portfolios may affect investment performance, particularly through increased
transaction costs and taxes.
Our strategies do not employ limitations in particular sectors, industries, countries or regions.
8.C. Material Risks of Securities Used in Investment Strategies
As with any security, investment(s) and/or investment strategy, all investing carries a high degree
of risk. Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
13
Common risks associated with investing include but are not limited to: 1) loss of capital; 2)
economic and market risk; 3) adverse income tax consequences; 4) currency risk; and 5)
reinvestment risk (i.e. future proceeds from investments may have to be reinvested at a
potentially lower rate of return). In addition to these risks, there are other risks inherent in
equities, bonds, exchange traded funds, and mutual fund products utilized by the firm in managing
portfolios.
Investing in equity securities involves various risks. These include: 1) declines in value due to
changes in overall market conditions that are not specifically related to a company, such as real or
perceived adverse economic or political conditions throughout the world, changes in the general
outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor
sentiment generally; 2) declines in market value of a security because of factors that affect a
particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and
competitive conditions within an industry; 3) declines in market value of an equity due to
company-specific news and events, such as profitability or earnings forecasts, dividend policy
changes, adverse legal rulings, management turnover, increase real estate or operating costs,
competitive pressures, delays in product launches, or any other matter that could impact the
current or future financial health of the company which is being invested; and 4) equity
investments may underperform particular sectors of a given market or the equity market as a
whole. The value of your investment will fluctuate daily and cyclically based on movements in the
stock market and the activities of each individual company.
Investing in bonds involves various risks. These include: 1) upgrades or downgrades in the
corporate rating of a bond; 2) the solvency and ability of a company to timely make coupon
payments; 3) changes in interest rate can significantly impact the market value and rates of return
of a bonds; and 4) prepayment risk whereby a company decides to purchase outstanding bonds it
has issued.
Mutual fund and exchange traded fund investing allows one to invest in a bundle of securities of
various companies, financial products, or to track a financial index. This allows a level of
diversification that could not otherwise be achieved by investing in a single company. There are
inherent risks to investing in mutual funds. Among these are: 1) performance will be negatively
impacted for mutual funds and exchange traded funds with higher expenses; 2) performance can
be impacted by macro-economic, government, and political events that affect the overall market;
3) the individual composition and focus of a mutual fund or exchange traded fund, such as focuses
on specific countries, sectors, industries, etc., may create circumstances where a mutual fund or
exchange traded fund underperforms financial indexes whether due to news or events affecting a
region or industry or otherwise; 4) a higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher
14
transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account;
and 5) specific risk factors of securities underlying the portfolio of a mutual fund or exchange
traded fund. Key differences do exist between mutual funds and exchange-traded funds including,
among others, how the products are priced, potential fees, and tax efficiency.
An interval fund, a form of closed-end mutual fund, allows investors the ability to invest in a
bundle of securities of various companies or financial products. An interval fund may invest in
higher percentage of illiquid securities than other closed-end or open-end mutual funds. This
allows an interval fund to potentially invest in higher-yielding investments. An interval fund
allows investors to redeem shares only periodically often in limited quantities. The time between
when an investor may redeem shares is called an “interval” hence its name. Interval funds’
disadvantages are: 1) limited redemption thus limited liquidity; 2) often are considered to be
more complex than other mutual funds; and 3) fees associated with this product are frequently
higher that other mutual funds.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of them or the integrity of their
management. The Wealth Group, Ltd. is not aware of any legal or disciplinary action being taken
against the company, its officers nor its Investment Adviser Representatives.

Officers, Access Persons and Related Parties of The Wealth Group, Ltd. shall not buy or sell
securities for their personal or related portfolios where their decision is substantially derived by
the firm’s research committee without pre-approval by a member of the investment and/or
17
compliance committee. The Wealth Group, Ltd. requires all personnel to place trades either at the
same time client trades are placed or the personnel must wait until all clients’ trades have been
executed for the day before personal trades can be placed.
The Wealth Group, Ltd. maintains a list of all securities holdings for anyone associated with the
firm. These holdings and transactions are reviewed on a regular basis by the Chief Compliance
Officer.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
12.A. Selection of Broker-Dealers
The Wealth Group, Ltd. mainly utilizes Charles Schwab and SEI as custodians for its internal
money management services program. The client, however, may elect to use a different custodian
or broker-dealer. All trading, transaction and custody fees are based on the published rates,
conditions and terms of the broker-dealer/custodian where the client’s assets reside.
The Wealth Group, Ltd. and related parties do not receive direct “material” benefit from outside
parties. It may be deemed that The Wealth Group, Ltd. receives “immaterial” direct economic
benefits from related parties and Charles Schwab, American Funds and SEI. There is no direct link
between the investment advice given and participation with Charles Schwab, American Funds or
SEI. The Wealth Group, Ltd. does receive benefits which include: receipt of duplicate client
confirms and bundled duplicate statements; access to a trading desk service provided exclusively
for participants; access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate securities
transactions and then allocate the appropriate shares to client accounts; access to research; ability
to have investment advisory fees deducted directly from clients’ accounts, access to an electronic
communications network for client order entry and account information; receipt of compliance
publications; and access to products not generally available to the public.
Charles Schwab, American Funds and SEI make available other services intended to help The
Wealth Group, Ltd., Inc. manage, administer and further develop its business enterprise. These
services may include consulting, publications and conferences on practice management,
information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance and marketing. These
benefits may be deemed to create, or be perceived as, a conflict of interest in acting in a client’s
best interest by creating incentive to recommend broker-dealers/custodians who provide
research or other products or services to The Wealth Group, Ltd. We feel the overall benefits
available and delivered by Charles Schwab, American Funds and SEI greatly outweigh any
perceived conflict and allows us to better act in our overall clients’ best interest as well as each
client’s best interest. The benefits received by The Wealth Group, Ltd. through participation in
18
Charles Schwab, American Funds or SEI do not depend upon the amount of transactions directed
through these entities. The benefits received by The Wealth Group, Ltd. are utilized to service all
clients.
It may be deemed that additional indirect benefits (copy, fax, telephone, internet, health insurance,
and office space) are provided to Mr. McDonald, by a related party,- Capital Investment Companies
(Capital Investment Brokerage, Inc./Capital Investment Group, Inc.). These additional indirect
benefits are paid directly by Mr. McDonald to Capital Investment Companies.
12.B. Aggregation of Orders
All money management account transactions are compiled individually; however, when a
purchase or sale is made, all accounts that qualify may be bunched together to obtain the same
execution price. However, when accounts are traded on an individual basis, clients may receive
different pricing on the same security due to execution times.
Accounts held outside of Schwab may be executed after orders for discretionary accounts at
Schwab have been executed, which may affect the timing and the price of execution.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
For internal managed accounts, accounts may be reviewed quarterly or on a more frequent basis
by a designated supervisor or management personnel of the firm. Provisions are made for more
frequent review should market conditions and/or a change in client’s objectives dictate.
For external managed accounts, each manager has its own review process and it is recommended
all clients review the ADV of the proposed manager or the prospectus of the fund adviser.
The Wealth Group, Ltd. does not send out regular reports to clients on their accounts.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
The Wealth Group, Ltd may enter into agreement(s) with solicitors detailing compensation, terms
and conditions for referring client to The Wealth Group, Ltd. Each client that is referred to The
Wealth Group, Ltd. from a solicitor signs a Money Management Services Agreement
acknowledging the solicitor payment arrangement. A client will not incur higher or additional fees
or expenses as a result of the solicitor arrangement than if the client had sought and obtained
services directly from The Wealth Group, Ltd. Compensation paid to the solicitor is a portion of
the overall fee paid by the client to The Wealth Group, Ltd.
19
The Wealth Group, Ltd. may receive solicitation fees from third party managers in
referring/introducing clients to the third party manager for money management services.
Item 15 – Custody
The Wealth Group, Ltd. does not maintain custody of client assets. The qualified custodian will
provide account statements to clients quarterly, if not more frequently. The Wealth Group, Ltd.
urges clients to carefully review such statements. Clients are further urged to compare account
statement provided by the qualified custodian with any statements provided by The Wealth
Group, Ltd.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
The Wealth Group, Ltd. manages clients’ accounts on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis.
We obtain a Limited Power of Attorney for each client's account managed on a discretionary basis.
This Power of Attorney enables The Wealth Group, Ltd. to determine the quantity and specific
security to buy/sell. The Limited Power of Attorney is mainly used in order to make market moves
(buys/sells) without having to obtain client's consent. Any limitations on the Limited Power of
Attorney shall be written on the Limited Power of Attorney form. Clients may change/amend
these limitations as required. Such amendments shall be submitted in writing.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
17.A. Voting Policies and Procedures
Since all client investment positions are held in street name with the broker-dealer/custodian firm
and clients receive proxies and re-organization notices, we do not vote proxies or re-organization
notices for clients. Client will receive the proxies directly from the custodian. Clients may contact
our office to get further information on proxy voting.
If a client chooses to utilize an external manager, each manager chosen has its own policy and
procedure regarding voting of proxies and reorganization notices as client’s desire.
Item 18 – Financial Information
18.A. Advance Payment of Fees.
The Wealth Group does not require or solicit prepayment of fees. Our billing of client’s accounts is
done in arrears. See 5.A. for further insight and discussion.
20
18.B. Financial Condition
Registered investment advisers are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial
information or disclosures about their financial condition. The Wealth Group has no financial
commitments that impair its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients.
18.C. No Bankruptcy Proceedings
The Wealth Group has not been the subject of any bankruptcy proceedings.
