Item 4 – Advisory Business
Urban Financial Advisory Corporation (UFAC) was founded in 1990 by the current firm president,
Steven D. Urban. UFAC is registered as a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission in July 1994. Please see the Firm’s Form ADV Part B (Brochure Supplement)
for more information regarding Mr. Urban and other principals within the firm. UFAC is an
independent financial planning and investment advisory firm located in Chicago, Illinois. In the
following description of our advisory business, “we” or “our” will refer to UFAC and “you” or “your”
will refer to our existing or prospective clients.
We believe the best way to provide an understanding of our advisory business is to describe the
process we generally engage in with one of our typical clients. Although we consider ourselves an
investment advisory firm, commonly, we would begin to work with you by providing some level of
financial planning services using eMoney Advisor Platform. Depending on one’s particular
circumstances, initial financial planning does not necessarily have to be the starting point, but it is
usually mutually determined to be appropriate. Financial planning services are quite distinct from
investment advisory services, but we believe them to be so integral to the delivery of the latter that
they require further explanation.
The financial planning process would be described to you initially in a written proposal. The financial
planning process involves gathering financial information from you and discussing your goals and
objectives with you. Often, there is a major financial event triggering the need for the planning such
as retirement or an inheritance, but sometimes it could be for no other reason than that no significant
planning has ever or recently been done. With the financial data provided, we create personalized
financial projections consisting of cash flow and account, and asset values. We have found that
a comprehensive and consultative review of these projections is the most effective means of
identifying, prioritizing and understanding a host of financial planning issues.
Further, we believe that investment policy can best be formulated because of thorough review of the
financial projections. Investment policy is comprised of the standards and rules you establish for the
investment and ongoing management of your portfolio. Your portfolio is comprised of the various
types of financial accounts you may have.
Therefore, as part of the financial planning review, we will also suggest and explain to you an
investment policy for your portfolio. We would generally conclude the planning process by providing
you with a written summary of conclusion and recommendations. The summary would reiterate the
rationale underlying the investment policy suggested during
the planning session(s). Also, the
summary would be considered the end of the planning portion of the engagement and an invoice
per the estimate provided in the original proposal would be included.
Urban Financial Advisory Corporation | www.ufinadv.com | E: info@ufinadv.com | P: 312-379-0150 | F: 312-379-0366
4
At this point, you would be free to implement the investment policy suggested on your own, direct
and monitor another in doing so or to continue to evaluate alternative approaches. There would be
no commitment or requirement to retain us to implement or monitor the investment policy
suggested. However, our general experience has been that many individuals interested in utilizing
the investment policy suggested will contract with us for such services.
Should you decide to utilize our firm for investment advisory services, we would generally
provide you with an investment policy statement which would reiterate the policy suggested during
the planning. You would also be provided with an investment advisory contract, which would spell
out the rights and duties of our relationship. Upon execution of these documents, you would establish
accounts over, which we would have a limited
trading authorization (For more information on
brokerage accounts, please see Item 12, Brokerage Practices). When accounts are funded, we would
then engage in deployment of the funds within the accounts of the portfolio pursuant to the terms of
the investment policy (For specifics on many of the aspects of ongoing portfolio management, please
see Item 8, Methods of Analysis, Strategies and Risk of Loss). In general, our firm does not limit its
advice to any specific type of investment.
Each quarter, most clients would be provided with a detailed performance report for their portfolio
using our Portfolio Management software, Advyzon. The report will explain in detail the performance
of the overall portfolio as well as its specific components. It also would generally discuss the
economic environment as well as provide a detailed explanation of any anticipated changes within
the portfolio during the current period. In addition to performance reporting, we consider
these
quarterly performance reports as ongoing updates to the investment policy statement.
Our firm has utilized this approach toward the delivery of financial planning and investment advisory
services since its inception. As of June 30, 2026, UFAC manages investment advisory client assets
in the amount of $1,493,295,703. Of this amount, $1,388,274,219 is managed on a discretionary
basis pursuant to an agreed upon investment policy, and $105,021,484 is managed on a non-
discretionary basis, throughout approximately 260 portfolios. The balance of funds is maintained for
our clients on a non-discretionary basis.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
UFAC is compensated for investment advisory services generally based on a percentage of the
assets under discretionary management. On occasion, a flat management fee may be negotiated
with the client, but this is usually in cases where more limited advisory services are required by
the client. Certain clients may have negotiated a reduction to the published fees based upon the
qualitative nature of the relationship. The published investment advisory fee structure includes the
provision of financial planning services necessary to maintain the investment policy for the portfolio.
Extraordinary financial planning services beyond what would be necessary to maintain the agreed
Urban Financial Advisory Corporation | www.ufinadv.com | E: info@ufinadv.com | P: 312-379-0150 | F: 312-379-0366
5
upon investment policy may require additional planning fees, which would be quoted prior to the
initiation of service delivery. For example, if the client inherited a large sum of money after having
retired for several years, this may necessitate more extensive planning than envisioned within the
original retirement plan. We would identify such situations ahead of time and alert the client of the
potential requirement for additional financial planning, which they could agree to or decline.
UFAC does not receive any commissions, loads or referral fees on any investment service or product.
Although the firm may perform due diligence or consulting on various types of financial products
such as insurance or annuities, the firm does not offer or sell any such products.
Clients either pay a quarterly investment advisory fee based upon assets under management
(between .10% (10 basis points) and .05% (5 basis points)) depending on the size of the portfolio,
generally subject to a $1,250 per quarter minimum fee, or pay a fixed quarterly fee on a pre-negotiated
basis. An initial portfolio set-up fee may also apply and is generally $1,000. UFAC generally imposes
a minimum dollar value of $1,000,000 in assets for initiating services, although in certain
circumstances this may be waived. Some clients with older investment advisory contracts have lower
rates and fees. The investment advisory fee structure is as follows:
Schedule of Investment Advisory Services Fees
Discretionary Amount
Under Management
Annual Rate
Quarterly Billing Rate
Minimum on first
$3,000,000
0.40% or $12,000
0.100% or $3,000
Next $7,000,000 up to
$10,000,000
0.30%
0.0750%
Above $10,000,000
0.20%
0.0500%
The specific way the fees are charged is established in the investment advisory contract. We will
generally bill investment advisory fees in advance on a quarterly basis at the beginning of each
quarter. Fees are based on the quarter end value of the account as of the last business day of the
prior quarter. If you establish an account during a quarter, we will pro- rate the management fee
based on the number of days remaining in the quarter. You may elect to be billed directly for the
fees or, for your convenience; you may authorize us to directly debit fees from your account(s).
Where fees are directly debited from your account(s), you would still be provided with a statement
beforehand showing the calculation of the fees for that period. Upon termination of an account,
any prepaid, unearned fees would be refunded, and any earned, unpaid fees would be due
and payable.

Our investment advisory fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other
related costs and expenses that may be incurred. For example, you may incur certain charges
imposed by custodians, brokers, and other third parties. Such fees may include transaction fees or
commissions on the purchase or sale of mutual funds or equity securities such as stocks. Other such
fees may include fees charged by fund managers or broker custodians such as custodial fees,
deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and
other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions.
Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed
in a fund’s prospectus. Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to our
investment advisory fee and we do not receive any portion of these other commissions, fees, and
costs.
Item 12 further describes the factors that UFAC considers in selecting or recommending broker-
dealers for client transactions and determining the reasonableness of their compensation (e.g.,
commissions).
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
We do not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains or capital
appreciation of the assets within an account or portfolio) or manage accounts on a side-by-side basis
(simultaneous management of other funds, such as private equity or hedge funds).
Item 5 is a
comprehensive description of our only policy with respect to investment advisory fees.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Our clients are generally mid-to-high net-worth individuals seeking financial planning and investment
advice from an objective source which is not affiliated with a larger institution. We service clients
located across the United States as well as several residing overseas. We may also provide
investment advisory services to other entities such as trusts, businesses such as partnerships
or limited liability companies, retirement plans, estates or charitable organizations, but generally,
such entities are related to the client who is an individual.
We have extensive experience providing comprehensive retirement planning services for employees
of BP plc and predecessor companies. This work requires detailed knowledge of BP plc’s qualified
and non-qualified retirement, savings and compensation and incentive plans. This experience also
has broad application in allowing us to deliver similar services to employees of other corporations
and partnerships.
Urban Financial Advisory Corporation | www.ufinadv.com | E: info@ufinadv.com | P: 312-379-0150 | F: 312-379-0366

Although there is no minimum account size necessary to engage us to provide financial planning
services, as described more fully in item 5, there are minimum investment advisory fees implying
a portfolio of at least $1,000,000, although in certain circumstances this may be waived.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
With the financial planning process more fully discussed above in Item 5, we will describe to you in
some detail the rationale behind the generally suggested investment policy. In this section, we will
also briefly describe our methodology of deploying and monitoring the strategy.
The investment policy we generally suggest to you is based on the premise that time and
diversification are the most critical considerations in investment policy development. This
is further
based on the premise that, over the longer term, income-oriented assets (cash and bonds) fail to
provide an adequate hedge to inflation since, after the effects of taxes and inflation, expected return
is nominal.
To achieve a higher total expected rate of return, investments in growth-oriented assets (equities
and real estate) are required. Since growth-oriented assets carry significantly more risk (volatility)
than fixed income, the firm advises that only funds which can be committed for the longer term are
appropriate for growth-oriented investment. This is why there is a strong emphasis on initial financial
planning. We believe it is critical to have a process to help define what portion of your assets can
be committed for the longer term. Thus, your financial projections are referenced to determine
when you may likely need to access funds from your portfolio. For those funds you require in the
short to intermediate term, we will suggest that those be directed to cash and bond exposure. For
the funds which you can prove will not likely be required for the longer term, we will suggest to you
that those be directed toward equity exposure. We would further suggest that this policy be
implemented and maintained on an ongoing basis.
This approach can mean that two similar people with alike sized portfolios may have distinctly
different portfolio allocations based upon when each had a requirement to draw funds from their
accounts. If one had no requirements to draw funds from their portfolio for several years, they may
have a very high, if not complete, orientation toward growth or equities. The other individual may
need to draw from the portfolio immediately and over the next several years. We would then suggest
that those expected drawings from the portfolio be represented by cash and bond exposure. The
result would be a lower exposure to growth in the latter portfolio. Note that in this process, to
this point, your personal attitude, or what we call subjective tolerance to risk, has not been
considered. In our opinion, that is better achieved at the end of this process. For example, if the client
who has no need to draw capital from his portfolio over the longer term sees that we suggest a
complete orientation toward equity exposure, they may indicate that they personally cannot
tolerate that level of potential volatility.
Urban Financial Advisory Corporation | www.ufinadv.com | E: info@ufinadv.com | P: 312-379-0150 | F: 312-379-0366
8
In that case, we would work with you to examine potential scenarios and determine a more
appropriate level of growth exposure based upon these subjective considerations.
For the cash and fixed income portion of the portfolio, we generally will suggest that your requirements
for the next year be maintained in a money market fund and/or short-term bond fund. Then, for the
next several years of projected draws against the portfolio, we will generally suggest that diversified
bond exposure be established with maturities that approximately match the projected draws. For
larger portfolios, this bond exposure is commonly established through the acquisition of individual
bond issues, and, for more limited portfolios, it is established through the purchase of bond funds of
varying average duration. The policy mix of bond exposure to be established is developed based
upon your projected income tax position as well as overall diversification considerations. Various
internal and external research is utilized in the analysis of appropriate individual bond issues and
bond funds for your portfolio. Such research includes publications of private rating agencies,
research available through broker-dealers and the internet, as well as participation in various
conferences provided through numerous entities.
For the growth component of the portfolio, we will generally suggest broad diversification over most
of the characteristics of equity investing. Such characteristics include capitalization, domestic and
international orientation as well as the style of management to be employed. As this implies broad
diversification, we generally suggest that equity mutual funds be used to achieve this exposure
although we also utilize some exchange-traded funds as well. We generally will not manage, utilize
or provide advice on any individual company stocks, although you are able to hold such positions
in your account on a non-discretionary basis. Occasionally, we may offer advice on direct
participation investments including non-exchange listed debt and equity securities, but this is usually
done for a separately negotiated fee. Margin transactions, option writing and short-term purchases
of securities are discouraged. We use our own proprietary analytical tools for determining the overall
equity benchmark weightings suggested. We then use third party analytical database information
to further evaluate specific fund managers to be used within the growth component. This same data
is utilized to evaluate the fund managers on an ongoing basis. The array of equity funds we finally
determine to be appropriate as our model growth component.
Although the method described above espouses thorough financial planning, commitment of funds
over appropriate durations of time as well as broad and effective diversification, the risk of
substantial loss is still possible. Even though historical data would indicate that such losses should
be mitigated over time, there can be no guarantee that such historical statistical attributes will persist
and provide recovery from any such losses
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 Urban Financial Advisory Corporation
Urban Financial Advisory Corporation | www.ufinadv.com | E: info@ufinadv.com | P: 312-379-0150 | F: 312-379-0366
9
or the integrity of Urban Financial Advisory Corporation and/or its management persons. Urban
Financial Advisory Corporation and its management people have not been a party to or involved
in any such legal actions or disciplinary events.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Neither Urban Financial Advisory Corporation nor its management persons or employees are
registered as nor have an application pending to register as a broker- dealer, futures commission
merchant, commodity pool operator or commodity trading advisor.
Steven D. Urban, President of Urban Financial Advisory Corporation, is a licensed attorney in the
State of Illinois and may provide legal estate services to UFAC clients through his attorney at law
practice. This may be perceived as a potential conflict of interest, and these services are provided
separately from any investment advisory services or financial and tax planning services of Urban
Financial Advisory Corporation. Mr. Urban is also involved in income and estate tax planning, including
the preparation of income tax returns. These services are also provided separately from investment
advisory and financial planning services, although these services are provided through Urban
Financial Advisory Corporation. In either case, clients are not required to work with Mr. Urban in either
capacity. Separate disclosure is made in Mr. Urban’s supplemental brochure, Form ADV Part 2B.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics
UFAC is guided by its Code of Ethics in rendering all services. The firm deems its primary duty to be
to act in your best interests and all operations of the firm are guided by these premises. Any advice
rendered or action taken on your behalf is only after a thorough consideration and understanding
of your financial situation and stated goals.
The firm’s Code of Ethics is applicable to all employees of the firm and describes its standard of
business conduct and fiduciary duty to you and prohibits employees from engaging in activities in
which there is a conflict of interest. Further, the Code of Ethics includes provisions relating to the
confidentiality of your information, a prohibition on
insider trading, a prohibition of rumor
mongering, 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 employees at Urban Financial Advisory Corporation must acknowledge the terms of the Code of
Ethics annually, or as amended.
UFAC employees may from time to time buy or sell securities for themselves that are also
recommended to you. Due to the relative size and type of UFAC and client purchases and sales,
as well as the fact that generally only mutual funds are involved, no restrictions or internal procedures
are used for such transactions. You are informed that the firm and its employees may make such
purchases and sales at times non-coincidental with purchases and sales within your own portfolio.
Urban Financial Advisory Corporation | www.ufinadv.com | E: info@ufinadv.com | P: 312-379-0150 | F: 312-379-0366

You may request a copy of the firm's Code of Ethics by contacting Steven D. Urban at (312) 379-
0150 or at info@ufinadv.com.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
Brokers may be suggested to you based upon perceived service and value. Reasonableness
of commissions and trading fees are determined by comparison to those of other brokers. Discounts
from broker published commission rates are considered in the comparison. The availability and
breadth of investment products such as third-party mutual funds within centralized accounts is also
considered in evaluating brokers. Further, the capacity to trade within a given account is considered
important in the selection of potential brokers. Trading away is the purchase or sale through a broker
of a security not held in an account with that broker.
The value of products, research and services provided to us is not a factor in suggesting a broker to
you as there is no implicit or explicit agreement to receive products, research or services that
exist between us and any broker. On occasion, we may be provided with software by a broker that
is utilized by us to electronically access client account data directly from the broker’s system.
Generally, trading within your account is done independently of trades placed in other accounts.
Exceptions to this practice occur when a large bond position is acquired to be allocated to more than
one account.
In this situation, we may aggregate the purchases or sales of the bond involved. When transactions
are aggregated, the actual sales price will be averaged, and each client will be deemed to have sold
or purchased his share of the bond at the average price. Transaction costs will be shared pro rata by
all clients participating in the aggregated transaction. Occasionally, the broker may charge a
delivery fee if the bond was acquired through another broker.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
We will generally review and provide you with a written report on your portfolio on a quarterly basis.
Such reviews may include:
• a survey of value and quality rating changes of securities within your portfolio,
• an analysis of liquidity positions and your liquidity requirements from the portfolio,
• determination of steps necessary to deploy investment policy developed for your portfolio,
• discussions with you regarding the status of your portfolio and investment policy.
You will receive monthly statements directly from the broker reflecting activity and positions
within your accounts. In addition, you will generally receive from us a quarterly report, based upon
Urban Financial Advisory Corporation | www.ufinadv.com | E: info@ufinadv.com | P: 312-379-0150 | F: 312-379-0366
11
information obtained from the broker, which analyzes the change in account values during the quarter
and asset allocation of the portfolio. We will urge you to carefully review statements from the broker
and to compare statements we provide to you with those received directly from the broker.
The performance of certain securities in your portfolio is compared to various general indices and
peer manager performance figures. The status of portfolio deployment against originally developed
policy and immediate plans for the following quarter is also discussed within the quarterly report.
In addition, we will periodically, as mutually, deemed appropriate meet or confer with you to:
• update some of your financial planning as required,
• confirm or re-define the investment policy for your portfolio, and
• determine the scope of any follow up required.
Lastly, as described in Item 5, our ongoing investment advisory services include the provision
of financial planning services necessary to maintain the investment policy established for your
portfolio. Extraordinary financial planning services beyond what would be necessary to maintain the
agreed upon investment policy may require additional planning fees which would be quoted prior to
the initiation of service delivery.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
We do not directly or indirectly compensate any person for client referrals. Also, we are not paid
cash, nor do we receive any other economic benefit (including commissions, sales awards,
equipment, or non-research services) from non-clients in connection with the provision of financial
planning or investment advisory services to you.
Item 15 – Custody
Although we will direct and monitor the purchase and sale of securities within the accounts of your
portfolio, we do not take possession of the cash or securities of any client. Such custody is maintained
by the brokerage firm you determine to use. You do not alter or surrender the ownership of assets
within the accounts of your portfolio. Our authority is limited in providing instructions to the broker
regarding transactions within your accounts in accordance with the terms of your investment advisory
agreement and investment policy statement.
Further, we do not have the authority to withdraw any cash or securities for our benefit from any account
of your portfolio except for UFAC fee withdrawal in cases where you have provided authorization
beforehand. Pre-authorization of UFAC fee withdrawal from the accounts of your portfolio is voluntary
and not a condition of the provision of investment advisory services. If you have authorized UFAC fee
Urban Financial Advisory Corporation | www.ufinadv.com | E: info@ufinadv.com | P: 312-379-0150 | F: 312-379-0366
12
withdrawal from the accounts of your portfolio, you are still provided with an informational invoice prior
to the debiting of any such fees.
The brokerage agreements we use do authorize us to transfer cash or securities from your account to
an account of the same, or first-party, registration. “First-party registration” means the same owner or
owners titling the account. We only engage in such transfers upon your instruction. For example, many
clients have a pre-established electronic funds transfer link between an account we may manage and
their local bank account, or journal standing instructions between accounts at the same custodian, such
as between a non-IRA and an IRA account. Although this affords the client the capacity to direct such
funds, they may also request us to facilitate such transfers on their behalf (first party transfers).
Previously, this level of authorization did not constitute custody as defined by the SEC.
The SEC’s Custody Rule now states that an investment advisor has custody if there is any arrangement
that allows the financial advisor to instruct a custodian to withdraw a client’s funds or securities
maintained at that institution. In the past, this had generally been interpreted as the ability to withdraw
funds and direct them to a third-party account without the client’s permission or signature. The
clarification issued by the SEC on February 21, 2017, indicated that any arrangement that qualifies an
investment advisor to withdraw client funds or securities for non-trading purposes constituted custody.
This included wiring money between same-registration, or first party, accounts without direct instruction
from the client. Custodians with whom UFAC maintains a relationship have rescinded this standing
authorization for wires without direct instructions from the client, and thus, UFAC does not have custody
of client assets. Other than this definitional change, there have been no changes regarding your
relationship with UFAC.
UFAC still maintains a three-party relationship consisting of the client, an independent custodian and
UFAC as the investment advisor. You will continue to receive monthly account statements from the
custodian that holds the cash and securities within the accounts of your portfolio. We urge you to
carefully review such statements and compare these to the statements and analyses that we may
provide to you.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
We will generally receive discretionary trading authority from you at the outset of an investment
advisory relationship to select and identify the amount and type of securities to be bought or sold
within the accounts of your portfolio. This discretionary trading authorization is contained within
the brokerage agreement you will execute in the process of establishing an account with the broker
you select. The discretionary trading authorization is further guided by the terms and provisions of
the investment advisory agreement and investment policy statement which we will enter between
ourselves.
Urban Financial Advisory Corporation | www.ufinadv.com | E: info@ufinadv.com | P: 312-379-0150 | F: 312-379-0366

Any investment guidelines and/or restrictions will generally be provided in writing and would be
