Item 4 – Advisory Business
Advisory Firm
Trinity Wealth Management (TWM) is a fee-based Registered Investment Advisor. TWM does not
provide tax preparation services, but we may assist your tax professional in completing your return.
TWM is owned 100% by Robert J Wassel Jr (Bob). TWM began operations January 6, 2010 with Bob
as sole owner. Brock joined the firm and established ownership interest in June, 2010. Chris Dexter
joined the firm and established ownership interest in September, 2014 and sold his interest
December 2019 to Bob. Brock transitioned his ownership interest to Bob and now holds no
ownership of TWM.
Advisory Services Offered
We manage and advise on client assets also referred to as Assets Under Management (AUM). AUM
are invested assets to which we have access to the account and for which we exercise discretionary
trading authority. All services are tailored to meet client specific needs. Client needs and investment
restrictions are identified upon commencement of services, reviewed periodically, or as needs
change. For Wealth Management clients, in most cases, we will delineate needs, restrictions and goals
in the Investment Policy Statement (IPS).
As of December 31, 2025, we manage $425,170,000 on a discretionary basis.
We offer two basic levels of service: Wealth Management and Consultative.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Fees paid by clients to TWM are in addition to management fees charged to shareholders by mutual
funds, ETF's, and alternative investments. There are transaction fees to buy or sell bonds and some
mutual funds. Equities and ETF’s for the most part have no trading fees. The fees for mutual fund
trades and alternative investment trades are charged by and paid to the custodian performing the
transaction. Advisory Fees are either deducted from client accounts or bills are sent to the client
quarterly.
Wealth Management
This is our most comprehensive service, generally for clients with at least $600,000 investable assets
and a need for detailed comprehensive financial planning. We address financial planning issues unique
to your situation and prepare an IPS which establishes your goals and objectives based on your risk
tolerance assessment and other data you provide to us. We then assist you in implementing your
financial and investment plan, to include coordinating with your estate attorney, your tax preparer and
other professionals with whom you have established working relationships. Referrals to our non-
affiliated professionals for legal, tax, or insurance needs are available upon request.
Once the initial process is complete, we provide on-going investment advisory and financial planning
services.

from the above schedule. The WM fee is paid in arrears.
Note: TWM recognizes cash as an asset class, however, our policy allows us to separately negotiate
rates on cash based on its use in the portfolio and the level of current interest rates.
Advisor may household Client assets with those of other family members when determining AUM
and applying the above fee schedule.
Consultative Services
We offer our Consultative Services to smaller portfolios, 401k and other group retirement plans, and
other limited service engagements. While we don’t have an investment minimum, we will begin
offering this service at $1,500 per year or 1% of assets, whichever is greater. On a case by case basis
we may go below this billing level. These services will be billed quarterly based on client preference.
It is expected that this service for individuals will be of limited duration and move to Wealth
Management services when the client account values exceed $600,000.
Consultative Services Fee Schedule
For one-time Financial Planning and/or Investment Advisory service, we charge $150/hour.
For on-going Financial Planning and Investment Advisory services, we charge based on the below
schedule:
1% of AUM paid quarterly in arrears for individuals; or
$1,500 annual fee paid quarterly or annually; or
0.5% of AUM paid quarterly in arrears for 401k and other group retirement plans.
These rates are negotiable based on the specific needs of the client.
Clients with established relationships with TWM prior to this filing may remain on their current fee
schedule. It is the clients' responsibility to verify the accuracy of the advisor's fee calculation and
deduction. Please note that the custodian will not determine whether or not the fee is properly
calculated.
A client agreement may be cancelled at any time, by either party, for any reason upon receipt of 30
days written notice. Upon termination of the agreement, any prepaid, unearned fee will be promptly
refunded, and any earned, unpaid fees will be due and payable. The client has the right to terminate
an agreement without penalty within five business days after entering the agreement.

Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
TWM does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on or
capital appreciation of the assets of a client).
Item 7 – Types of Clients
TWM provides portfolio management services to individuals, corporate retirement and profit-
sharing plans, and trusts. We do not enforce account minimums but do recommend portfolio
minimums for Wealth Management services (See fee structure) and have a recommended base fee
for Consultative Services of $1,500 annually.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Our investment strategy starts with an assessment of the client’s risk profile and financial goals. Risk
profiles include portfolio size, income, required investment income, estimated years to retirement,
estimated years of distribution and a subjective gauge of the client’s attitudes toward risk. Attitudes
towards risk are considered in two general contexts: underperforming a broad equity index when
that index has increased (less than 100% upside capture ratio) and the client’s attitude towards a
decline in portfolio value. These measurements and analysis are included in a client’s Investment
Policy Statement (IPS) or other appropriate documentation (asset allocation, case notes, etc.).
Next, we determine a recommended position along the efficient market frontier which is simply the
ratio of equities to fixed income. We call this our top level allocation and it ranges from a highly
conservative allocation of 10% equities and 90% fixed income to an aggressive allocation of 90%
equities and 10% fixed income. The theory behind this approach is that with a mix of equities and
fixed income you achieve a higher expected rate of return with the same risk over time than if you
held all equities or all fixed income. There are no guarantees this will be the case.
We then spread the equities and fixed income dollars to various sub segments we call asset classes.
For equities we break it down by company size (large, medium, small), geography (domestic,
international) and whether the company is considered a growth company or a value company.
Growth companies are expected to increase earnings at an increased rate over time. Value companies
are expected to be either undervalued by the market (low share price) or pay dividends or both. We
also use an allocation to Real Estate separate from other equities but included in the equity total. For
fixed income, we break it down by time to maturity (cash, short term, intermediate term, long term).
For equities and bonds, we primarily use mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETF’s) to achieve
diversification in each asset class. The theory behind diversification is that it reduces company
specific risks but does not reduce market risks. Mutual funds and ETF’s can lose value and reduce
your portfolio value.
We also use individual stocks, individual bonds, managed futures, separately managed accounts and
hedging strategies when it is appropriate. This is determined on a client by client basis and is
dependent on, among other factors, portfolio size and the client risk assessment. These investments
can lose value and reduce your portfolio value.
3
There are several risks for each of the investment products we use. These are disclosed in detail in
the prospectus for each. Unless otherwise noted, there are no guarantees of principal protection for
any investment we recommend.
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 TWM or the integrity of TWM’s
management. TWM has no information applicable to this Item.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
TWM, LLC has a collaboration agreement with Charles N Kuhn (Charlie). Charlie is an Investment
Advisor Representative (IAR) under TWM’s Registered Investment Advisor (RIA). Charlie is licensed
to sell insurance in various states and has a relationship with Principal Financial Group which pays
him commissions for policies sold and implemented. Charlie’s commissions from Principal Financial
Group are credited to Charles N Kuhn & Associates and are not shared with TWM or any owners of
TWM. For client assets under management with TWM, TWM bills the clients and shares that revenue
with Charlie in his role as a TWM IAR.
TWM, LLC has a collaboration agreement with John Brock Dexter (Brock). Brock is an Investment
Advisor Representative (IAR) under TWM’s Registered Investment Advisor (RIA). For client assets
under management with TWM, TWM bills the clients and shares that revenue with Brock in his role
as a TWM IAR.
Bob Wassel is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with the State of Ohio and the State of Tennessee.
This is not material to TWM’s business and does not create any material conflicts of interest.
TWM is wholly owned by Bob Wassel.

Item 11 – Code of Ethics
TWM has adopted a Code of Ethics for all supervised persons of the firm describing its high standard
of business conduct, and fiduciary duty to its clients. The Code of Ethics includes provisions relating
to the confidentiality of client information, a prohibition on insider trading, restrictions on the
acceptance of significant gifts and the reporting of certain gifts and business entertainment items,
and personal securities trading procedures, among other things. All supervised persons at TWM must
acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or as amended. TWM anticipates that, in
appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’ investment objectives, it will cause accounts over
which TWM has management authority to effect, and will recommend to investment advisory clients
or prospective clients, the purchase or sale of securities in which TWM, its affiliates and/or clients,
directly or indirectly, have a position of interest. TWM’s employees and persons associated with
TWM are required to follow TWM’s Code of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable
laws, officers, directors and employees of TWM and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in
securities which are recommended to and/or purchased for TWM’s clients. The Code of Ethics is
designed to assure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees
of TWM will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii)
implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own
accounts. Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some circumstances would permit employees to
invest in the same securities as clients, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from
market activity by a client in a security held by an employee. Employee trading is continually
monitored under the Code of Ethics, and to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between TWM
and its clients.
TWM’s clients or prospective clients may request a copy of the firm's Code of Ethics by contacting
Bob Wassel.
It is TWM’s policy that the firm will use a third party broker dealer to effect trades for clients. In
most cases that will be Schwab Institutional.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
TWM does not maintain custody of your assets on which we advise, although we may be deemed to
have custody of your assets if you give us authority to withdraw assets from your account (see Item
15 – Custody, below). Your assets must be maintained in an account at a “qualified custodian,”
generally a broker-dealer or bank. We recommend that our clients use Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
(Schwab), a registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, as the qualified custodian. We are independently
owned and operated and are not affiliated with Schwab. Schwab will hold your assets in a brokerage
account and buy and sell securities when instructed by you or TWM, as authorized in the account
application. While we recommend that you use Schwab as custodian/broker, you will decide whether
to do so and will open your account with Schwab by entering into an account agreement directly with
them. We do not open the account for you, although we may assist you in doing so. Even though your
account is maintained at Schwab, we can still use other brokers to execute trades for your account as
described below (see “Your Brokerage and Custody Costs”). TWM accepts no soft dollars from any
source.
5
How We Select Brokers/Custodians
We seek to select, recommend and use a custodian/broker who will hold your assets and execute
transactions on terms that are, overall, most advantageous when compared to other available
providers and their services. We consider a wide range of factors, including, among others:
• Combination of transaction execution services and asset custody services (generally without a
separate fee for custody)
• Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for your account)
• Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers, check requests,
bill payment, etc.)
• Breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds
[ETFs], etc.)
• Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment decisions
• Quality of services
• Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, margin interest rates, other fees,
etc.) and willingness to negotiate the prices
• Reputation, financial strength, and stability
• Prior service to us and our other clients
• Availability of other products and services that benefit us, as discussed below (see “Products and
services available to us from Schwab”)
Your Brokerage and Custody Costs
For our clients’ accounts that Schwab maintains, Schwab generally does not charge you separately
for custody services but is compensated by charging you commissions or other fees on trades that it
executes or that settle into your Schwab account. Certain trades (for example, stocks, ETF’s and many
mutual funds) may not incur Schwab commissions or transaction fees. Schwab is also compensated
by earning interest on the uninvested cash in your account in Schwab’s Cash Features Program. This
commitment benefits you because the overall commission rates and asset-based fees you pay are
lower than they would be otherwise. In addition to commissions and asset-based fees, Schwab
charges you a flat dollar amount as a “prime broker” or “trade away” fee for each trade that we have
executed by a different broker-dealer but where the securities bought or the funds from the
securities sold are deposited (settled) into your Schwab account. These fees are in addition to the
commissions or other compensation you pay the executing broker-dealer. Because of this, in order to
minimize your trading costs, we have Schwab execute most trades for your account. We are not
required to select the broker or dealer that charges the lowest transaction cost, even if that broker
provides execution quality comparable to other brokers or dealers. Although we are not required to
execute all trades through Schwab, we have determined that having Schwab execute most trades is
consistent with our duty to seek “best execution” of your trades. Best execution means the most
favorable terms for a transaction based on all relevant factors, including those listed above (see “How
We Select Brokers/Custodians”). By using another broker or dealer you may pay lower transaction
costs.
Products and Services Available to Us From Schwab
Schwab Advisor Services™ is Schwab’s business serving independent investment advisory firms like
us. They provide us and our clients with access to their institutional brokerage services (trading,
6
custody, reporting, and related services) many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail
customers. However, certain retail investors may be able to get institutional brokerage services from
Schwab without going through us. Schwab also makes available various support services. Some of
those services help us manage or administer our clients’ accounts, while others help us manage and
grow our business. Schwab’s support services generally are available on an unsolicited basis (we
don’t have to request them) and at no charge to us. Following is a more detailed description of
Schwab’s support services:
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 some to which we 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 Do 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 and operating our firm. They include investment research, both Schwab’s own
and that of third parties. We may use this research to service all or a substantial number of our
clients’ accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab. In addition to investment research,
Schwab also makes available software and other technology that:
• Provide access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account
statements)
• Facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts
• Provide pricing and other market data
• Facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts
• 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:
• Educational conferences and events
• Consulting on technology and business needs
• Consulting on legal and related compliance needs
• Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession
• Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers
• Marketing consulting and support.
Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party
vendors to provide the services to us. Schwab also discounts or waives its fees for some of these
services or pays all or a part of a third party’s fees. Schwab also provides us with other benefits, such
as occasional business entertainment of our personnel. TWM uses all these services to varying
degrees and depending on the complexity and needs of the individual client. If you did not maintain
your account with Schwab, we would be required to pay for these services from our own resources.
7
TWM also subscribes to other vendors for some of these services and pays the fee from our own
resources.
Our Interest in Schwab’s Services
The availability of these services from Schwab benefits us because we do not have to produce or
purchase them. We don’t have to pay for Schwab’s services. These services are not contingent upon
us committing any specific amount of business to Schwab in trading commissions or assets in
custody. The fact that we receive these benefits from Schwab is an incentive for us to recommend the
use of Schwab rather than making such a decision based exclusively on your interest in receiving the
best value in custody services and the most favorable execution of your transactions. This is a conflict
of interest. We believe, however, that taken in the aggregate, our selection of Schwab as custodian
and broker is in the best interests of our clients. Our selection is primarily supported by the scope,
quality, and price of Schwab’s services (see “How We Select Brokers/Custodians”) and not Schwab’s
services that benefit only us.
Other Custodians
In some cases, TWM acts as advisor to 401(k) “brokerage option” accounts for clients. In these
situations, we do not choose the custodian or any services provided.
Clients may engage us to manage assets which are in custody with another broker-dealer. In those
cases, we manage the accounts based on the products and services available from that custodian but,
unlike our relationship with Schwab, we receive no direct support or services from those custodians.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
The investments in each portfolio are monitored monthly. Review of accounts will be conducted at
least semiannually and when TWM determines there has been a variance in value potentially
requiring rebalancing, sale or additional purchase. The criteria for the variance will be reviewed
annually or more frequently, if needed. Client communicated changes in their personal situation may
also trigger a review.
Quarterly statements from a third party custodian will be provided to each client.
Investments will be made in accordance with the client approved Investment Policy Statement which
will include allocation targets for appropriate asset classes and allowable variances in the allocation
percentage before rebalancing is required.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
We receive an economic benefit from Schwab in the form of the support products and services it
makes available to us and other independent investment advisors whose clients maintain their
accounts at Schwab. You do not pay more for assets maintained at Schwab as a result of these
arrangements. However, we benefit from the referral arrangement because the cost of these services
would otherwise be borne directly by us. You should consider these conflicts of interest when
selecting a custodian. The products and services provided by Schwab, how they benefit us, and the
related conflicts of interest are described above (see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices). 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.
8
TWM does not compensate anyone for client referrals and does not receive or accept prizes or
awards from anyone for any reason.
Item 15 – Custody
Under government regulations, we are deemed to have custody of your assets if, for example, you
authorize us to instruct Schwab to deduct our advisory fees directly from your account or if you grant
us authority to move your money to another person’s account. Schwab maintains actual custody of
your assets. You will receive account statements directly from Schwab at least quarterly. They will be
sent to the email or postal mailing address you provided to Schwab. You should carefully review
those statements promptly when you receive them. We also urge you to compare Schwab’s account
statements to the periodic portfolio reports you will receive from us.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
TWM usually receives discretionary authority from the client at the outset of an advisory relationship
to select the identity and amount of securities to be bought or sold. In all cases, however, such
discretion is to be exercised in a manner consistent with the stated investment objectives for the
particular client account, usually incorporated in the Investment Policy Statement.
When selecting securities and determining amounts, TWM observes the investment policies,
limitations and restrictions of the clients for which it advises.
Investment guidelines and restrictions must be provided to TWM in writing.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
As a matter of firm policy and practice, TWM does not have any authority to and does not vote
proxies on behalf of advisory clients. Clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies
for any and all securities maintained in client portfolios. TWM may provide advice to clients
regarding the clients’ voting of proxies.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Registered investment advisers are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial
information or disclosures about TWM’s financial condition. TWM has no financial commitment that
impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients, and has not been the
subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
Item 19 – Requirements for State-Registered Advisers
J. Brock Dexter, CFP®, born 1955, Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, United States Air Force
Academy. Brock has a high level of expertise in tax planning, executive compensation, and estate
planning. He has comprehensive knowledge of investments and is able to apply macroeconomic

The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP® and federally registered CFP (with flame design) marks
(collectively, the “CFP® marks”) are professional certification marks granted in the United States by
Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP Board”).
The CFP® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or regulation requires
financial planners to hold CFP® certification. It is recognized in the United States and a number of
other countries for its (1) high standard of professional education; (2) stringent code of conduct and
standards of practice; and (3) ethical requirements that govern professional engagements with
clients. Currently, more than 62,000 individuals have obtained CFP® certification in the United
States.
To attain the right to use the CFP® marks, an individual must satisfactorily fulfill the following
requirements:
• Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study addressing the financial
planning subject areas that CFP Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the
competent and professional delivery of financial planning services, and attain a Bachelor’s
Degree from a regionally accredited United States college or university (or its equivalent from
a foreign university). CFP Board’s financial planning subject areas include insurance planning
and risk management, employee benefits planning, investment planning, income tax planning,
retirement planning, and estate planning
• Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination,
administered in 10 hours over a two-day period, includes case studies and client scenarios
designed to test one’s ability to correctly diagnose financial planning issues and apply one’s
knowledge of financial planning to real world circumstances
• Experience – Complete at least three years of full-time financial planning-related experience
(or the equivalent, measured as 2,000 hours per year); and
• Ethics – Agree to be bound by CFP Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct, a set of
documents outlining the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics
requirements in order to maintain the right to continue to use the CFP® marks:
• Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education hours every two years,
including two hours on the Code of Ethics and other parts of the Standards of Professional
Conduct, to maintain competence and keep up with developments in the financial planning
field; and
• Ethics – Renew an agreement to be bound by the Standards of Professional Conduct. The
Standards prominently require that CFP® professionals provide financial planning services at
a fiduciary standard of care. This means CFP® professionals must provide financial planning
services in the best interests of their clients.
CFP® professionals who fail to comply with the above standards and requirements may be subject to
CFP Board’s enforcement process, which could result in suspension or permanent revocation of their
CFP® certification.

Robert J Wassel Jr, MBA, CPA/PFS, born 1960, Bachelor of Business Administration, University of
Georgia; Master of Business Administration, The Owen Graduate School of Management, Vanderbilt
University. Bob served on active duty with the United States Navy as a Supply Corps Officer after
graduation from the University of Georgia. He worked as an auditor on the staff at KPMG in
Nashville, TN and then moved into corporate financial planning roles. Bob worked on the broker
dealer side of the business where he earned his Series 7, 24, 63 and Ohio Life Insurance license (all
currently inactive). He earned the Personal Financial Specialist (PFS) credential from the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
Certified Public Accountant (CPA).
CPA’s are licensed and regulated by their state boards of accountancy. While state laws and
regulations vary, the education, experience and testing requirements for licensure as a CPA generally
include minimum college education (typically 150 credit hours with at least a baccalaureate degree
and a concentration in accounting), minimum experience levels (most states require at least one year
of experience providing services that involve the use of accounting, attest, compilation, management
advisory, financial advisory, tax or consulting skills, all of which must be achieved under the
supervision of or verification by a CPA), and successful passage of the Uniform CPA Examination. In
order to maintain a CPA license, states generally require the completion of 40 hours of continuing
professional education (CPE) each year. Additionally, all AICPA members are required to follow a
rigorous Code of Professional Conduct which requires that they act with integrity, objectivity, due
care, competence, fully disclose to the client any commission or referral fees, and serve the public
interest when providing financial services. The vast majority of state boards of accountancy have
adopted the AICPA’s Code of Professional Conduct within their state accountancy laws or have
created their own.
Personal Financial Specialist (PFS).
The PFS credential demonstrates that an individual has met the minimum education, experience and
testing required of a CPA in addition to a minimum level of expertise in personal financial planning.
To attain the PFS credential, a candidate must hold an unrevoked CPA license, fulfill 3,000 hours of

The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP® and federally registered CFP (with flame design) marks
(collectively, the “CFP® marks”) are professional certification marks granted in the United States by
Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP Board”).
The CFP® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or regulation requires
financial planners to hold CFP® certification. It is recognized in the United States and a number of
other countries for its (1) high standard of professional education; (2) stringent code of conduct and
standards of practice; and (3) ethical requirements that govern professional engagements with
clients. Currently, more than 62,000 individuals have obtained CFP® certification in the United
States.
To attain the right to use the CFP® marks, an individual must satisfactorily fulfill the following
requirements:
• Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study addressing the financial
planning subject areas that CFP Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the
competent and professional delivery of financial planning services, and attain a Bachelor’s
Degree from a regionally accredited United States college or university (or its equivalent from
a foreign university). CFP Board’s financial planning subject areas include insurance planning
and risk management, employee benefits planning, investment planning, income tax planning,
retirement planning, and estate planning
12
• Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination,
administered in 10 hours over a two-day period, includes case studies and client scenarios
designed to test one’s ability to correctly diagnose financial planning issues and apply one’s
knowledge of financial planning to real world circumstances
• Experience – Complete at least three years of full-time financial planning-related experience
(or the equivalent, measured as 2,000 hours per year); and
• Ethics – Agree to be bound by CFP Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct, a set of
documents outlining the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics
requirements in order to maintain the right to continue to use the CFP® marks:
• Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education hours every two years,
including two hours on the Code of Ethics and other parts of the Standards of Professional
Conduct, to maintain competence and keep up with developments in the financial planning
field; and
• Ethics – Renew an agreement to be bound by the Standards of Professional Conduct. The
Standards prominently require that CFP® professionals provide financial planning services at
a fiduciary standard of care. This means CFP® professionals must provide financial planning
services in the best interests of their clients.
CFP® professionals who fail to comply with the above standards and requirements may be subject to
CFP Board’s enforcement process, which could result in suspension or permanent revocation of their
CFP® certification.

Trinity Wealth Management
Form CRS Customer Relationship Summary, June 17th, 2020
Trinity Wealth Management (TWM) is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) as an investment adviser. Brokerage and investment advisory services and fees differ and
it is important for you to understand these differences. Free and simple tools are available to
research firms and financial professionals at Investor.gov/CRS, which also provides educational
materials about broker-dealers, investment adviser, and investing.
What investment services and advice can you provide me?
We offer investment advisory services to retail investors. We manage and advise on client assets
also referred to as Assets Under Management (AUM). AUM are invested assets to which we
have access to the account and for which we exercise discretionary trading authority. All
services are tailored to meet client specific needs. Client needs and investment restrictions are
identified upon commencement of services, reviewed periodically, or as needs change. For
Wealth Management clients, in most cases, we will delineate needs, restrictions and goals in the
Investment Policy Statement (IPS).
For additional information, please see Form ADV, Part 2A brochure (Items 4 and 7 of Part 2A or
Items 4.A. and 5 of Part 2A Appendix 1).
Conversation Starters. Ask your financial professional:
Given my financial situation, should I choose an investment advisory service? Why or why not?
How will you choose investments to recommend to me?
What is your relevant experience, including your licenses and other qualifications? What do
these qualifications mean?
What fees will I pay?
Fees paid by clients to TWM are in addition to management fees charged to shareholders by
mutual funds, ETF’s, and alternative investments. There are transaction fees to buy or sell bonds
and some mutual funds. These fees are charged by and paid to the custodian performing the
transaction. Advisory Fees are either deducted from client accounts or bills are sent to the client.
We offer two basic levels of service: Wealth Management (WM) and Consultative. Wealth
Management is our most comprehensive service. To be cost effective for our clients, our Wealth
Management services generally requires at least $600,000 investable assets and a need for
detailed comprehensive financial planning. At the end of each quarter, we calculate the WM fee
by determining total AUM and applying the rate from the schedule below. The WM fee is paid in
arrears. Wealth Management (WM) Fee schedule:
on AUM from
$0 to $1,000,000
$1,000,001 up to $3 million
$3,000,001 up to $5 million
$5,000,001 up to $10 million

Consultative Services are offered to smaller portfolios, 401k and other group retirement plans,
and other limited service engagements. For one-time Financial Planning and/or Investment
Trinity Wealth Management
Form CRS Customer Relationship Summary, June 17th, 2020
Advisory service, we charge $150/hour. For on-going Financial Planning and Investment
Advisory services, we charge: $1,500 annual fee paid quarterly or annually; or 1% of AUM paid
quarterly in arrears for individuals; or 0.5% of AUM paid quarterly in arrears for 401k and other
group retirement plans.
You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments. Fees and
costs will reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Please
make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying
For additional information, please see Form ADV, Part 2A brochure (Items 5.A., B., C., and D.).
Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my investments. If I give you
$10,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs, and how much will be invested for me?
What are your legal obligations to me when acting as my investment adviser? How else
does your firm make money and what conflicts of interest do you have?
When we act as your investment adviser, we have to act in your best interest and not put our
interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with
your interests. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect
the investment advice we provide you. Here are some examples to help you understand what this
means.
We receive an economic benefit from Schwab in the form of the support products and services it
makes available to us and other independent investment advisors whose clients maintain their
accounts at Schwab. You do not pay more for assets maintained at Schwab as a result of these
arrangements. However, we benefit from the referral arrangement because the cost of these
services would otherwise be borne directly by us. You should consider these conflicts of interest
when selecting a custodian.
How might your conflicts of interest affect me, and how will you address them?
For additional information, please see Form ADV Part 2A Brochure.
How do your financial professionals make money?
Advisory fees are either deducted from client accounts or bills are sent to the client quarterly.
Wealth Management and Consultative services are charged based on the fee structure previously
listed.
Do you or your financial professionals have legal or disciplinary history?
No. Visit Investor.gov/CRS a free and simple search tool to research us and our financial
professionals.
As a financial professional, do you have any disciplinary history? For what type of conduct?
For additional information about our services, please visit our website
https://gotrinitywealth.com/. If you like additional, up-to-date information or a copy of this
disclosure, please call (513) 794-2870.
Who is my primary contact person? Is he or she a representative of an investment-adviser or a
broker-dealer? Who can I talk to if I have concerns about how this person is treating me?
