WWM Advisory Inc.
Item 4 Advisory Business
WWM Advisory Inc. is a SEC-registered investment adviser with its principal place of
business located in Los Angeles, California. WWM Advisory Inc. was created in 2025 to
provide investment services to clients of Wolman Wealth Management Inc., which began
conducting business in 1995. Jeffrey Charles Lloyd Wolman (“Jeffrey Wolman”) is the
President and sole 100% shareholder of both WWM Advisory Inc. and Wolman Wealth
Management Inc.
WWM Advisory Inc. offers the following services to our clients:
PERSONAL & BUSINESS MANAGEMENT SERVICES
WWM Advisory Inc. provides investment advisory services including portfolio management,
discretionary investment advice and management, monitoring of investments, and financial
planning.
Individual Portfolio Management
WWM Advisory Inc. only provides portfolio management services to clients who have
engaged Wolman Wealth Management Inc. for Personal & Business Management Services.
WWMA will provide individually tailored investment advice, at no additional charge, only for
Wolman’s Personal & Business Management Services Clients. Through personal discussions
in which goals and objectives based on a client's particular circumstances are established, we
develop and recommend and manage a portfolio based on this information. During our data-
gathering process, we determine the client’s individual objectives, time horizons, risk
tolerance, and liquidity needs. As appropriate, we also review and discuss a client's prior
investment history, as well as family composition and background.
We manage these advisory accounts on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis or in certain
circumstances may refer clients to third-party advisers (see Third-Party Advisers below).
Account supervision is guided by the client's stated objectives (i.e., maximum capital
appreciation, growth, income, or growth and income), as well as tax considerations.
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of securities,
or industry sectors.
Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a
broker-dealer or insurance company and will generally include advice regarding the following
securities:
● Exchange-listed securities
● Certificates of deposit
● Municipal securities
● Mutual fund shares
● United States governmental securities
● Interests in partnerships investing in Real Estate
WWM Advisory Inc.
Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only be
implemented/recommended when consistent with the client's stated investment objectives,
tolerance for risk, liquidity and suitability.
Third-Party Advisers
WWM Advisory Inc. may from time to time recommend or assist clients with developing a
relationship directly with a third-party money manager. Based on a client's individual
circumstances and needs, we will assist the client in determining which independent adviser's
portfolio management services are appropriate for that client. Factors considered in making
this determination, including account size, risk tolerance, and a client's investment experience,
are discussed during our consultation with the client.
WWM Advisory Inc. will not accept discretion to hire or fire any third-party adviser on
behalf of a client. Each client will be responsible for hiring and firing third-party managers.
WWM Advisory Inc. will meet with the client on a regular basis, or as determined by the client,
to review the account. We will, when needed, suggest changes in the client's portfolio
(''rebalancing''), to more effectively address each client's goals. These recommendations may
include replacing the third-party adviser with another adviser. The client may then instruct the
independent adviser to make any or all of the changes we recommended. These
recommendations are our own, and are neither recommended nor approved by any independent
advisers.
Any rebalancing of the portfolio is done with the client's approval, and will be reviewed and
implemented by the independent investment adviser. WWM Advisory Inc. does not act as a
solicitor for any third-party adviser and receives no compensation for making
recommendations of third-party advisers.
Consulting Services
Clients can also receive investment advice on a more focused basis. This may include advice on
only an isolated area(s) of concern such as estate planning, retirement planning, or any other
specific topic. We also provide specific consultation and administrative services regarding
investment and financial concerns of the client.
Consulting recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a
broker-dealer or insurance company. All recommendations are of a generic nature.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: All material conflicts of interest are disclosed regarding
WWM Advisory Inc. and Wolman Wealth Management Inc., its representatives and any of its
employees, which could be reasonably expected to impair the rendering of unbiased and
objective advice.
We are required to disclose if a conflict exists between the interests of the investment adviser
and the interests of the client. If so, the client is under no obligation to act upon the investment
WWM Advisory Inc.
advisor’s recommendation, and, if the client elects to act on any of the recommendations, the
client is under no obligation to effect the transaction through the investment adviser.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, WWM Advisory Inc. has $230,072,645 of discretionary assets
under management. WWM Advisory Inc. does not participate in any wrap programs.
Item 5 Fees and Compensation
FEES FOR ALL SERVICES
WWM Advisory Inc. does not charge fees for Portfolio Management, recommending Third-
Party Advisers, or Consulting Services, however the firm only provides services to clients of
Wolman Wealth Management Inc., which charges a monthly fee for unrelated business
management services. Fees are invoiced and sent to clients in arrears. Fees are determined
based on the nature of the services being provided and the complexity of each client’s
circumstances. All fees are agreed upon prior to entering into a separate contract with any
client and included in the engagement letter signed by the client and Wolman Wealth
Management Inc. Those fees are not negotiable.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT FEES
Termination of the Advisory Relationship: A client agreement may be canceled at any time, by
either party, for any reason as described in the firm’s engagement letter. Upon termination, any
and all undisputed fees and costs due to the Firm shall be paid within fifteen (15) business days
following your receipt of detailed notification of such outstanding fees and costs.
Mutual Fund Fees: All fees paid to WWM Advisory Inc. or Wolman Wealth Management
Inc. for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses
charged by mutual funds and/or ETFs to their shareholders. These fees and expenses are
described in each fund's prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee, other
fund expenses, and a possible distribution fee. If the fund also imposes sales charges, a client
may pay an initial or deferred sales charge. A client could invest in a mutual fund directly,
without our services. In that case, the client would not receive the services provided by our firm
which are designed, among other things, to assist the client in determining which mutual fund
or funds are most appropriate to each client's financial condition and objectives. Accordingly,
the client should review both the fees charged by the funds and our fees to fully understand the
total amount of fees to be paid by the client and to thereby evaluate the advisory services being
provided.
Separately Managed Account Fees: Clients who are referred to Third-Party Advisers and
separately managed account programs may be charged various program fees in addition to the
advisory fee charged by our firm. Client should reference the third-party managers disclosure
document for details of such fees.
WWM Advisory Inc.
Additional Fees and Expenses: In addition to our advisory fees, clients are also responsible for
the fees and expenses charged by custodians and imposed by broker dealers, including, but not
limited to, any transaction charges imposed by a broker dealer with which an independent
investment manager effects transactions for the client's account(s).
Please refer to the "Brokerage Practices" section (Item 12) of this Form ADV for additional
information.
ERISA Accounts: WWM Advisory Inc. is deemed to be a fiduciary to advisory clients that are
employee benefit plans or individual retirement accounts (IRAs) pursuant to the Employee
Retirement Income and Securities Act ("ERISA"), and regulations under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (the "Code"), respectively. As such, our firm is subject to specific duties and
obligations under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code that include among other things,
restrictions concerning certain forms of compensation. To avoid engaging in prohibited
transactions, WWM Advisory Inc. may only charge fees for investment advice about products
for which our firm and/or our related persons do not receive any commissions or 12b-1 fees, or
conversely, investment advice about products for which our firm and/or our related persons
receive commissions or 12b-1 fees, however, only when such fees are used to offset WWM
Advisory Inc.'s advisory fees.
Advisory Fees in General: Clients should note that similar advisory services may (or may not)
be available from other registered (or unregistered) investment advisers for similar or lower
fees.
Limited Prepayment of Fees: Under no circumstances do we require or solicit payment of fees
in excess of $1200 more than six months in advance of services rendered.
Item 6 Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
WWM Advisory Inc. does not charge performance-based fees.
Item 7 Types of Clients
WWM Advisory Inc. does not impose a minimum account size and generally provides
advisory services to the following types of clients:
● Individuals (other than high net worth individuals)
● High net worth individuals
● Pension and profit sharing plans
WWM Advisory Inc.
Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
METHODS OF ANALYSIS
We use the following methods of analysis in formulating our investment advice and/or
managing client assets:
Asset Allocation. Rather than focusing primarily on securities selection, we attempt to identify
an appropriate ratio of securities, fixed income, and cash suitable to the client’s investment
goals and risk tolerance.
A risk of asset allocation is that the client may not participate in sharp increases in a particular
security, industry or market sector. Another risk is that the ratio of securities, fixed income, and
cash will change over time due to stock and market movements and, if not corrected, will no
longer be appropriate for the client’s goals.
Mutual Fund and/or ETF Analysis. We look at the experience and track record of the manager
of the mutual fund or ETF in an attempt to determine if that manager has demonstrated an
ability to invest over a period of time and in different economic conditions.
We also look at the underlying assets in a mutual fund or ETF in an attempt to determine if
there is significant overlap in the underlying investments held in another fund(s) in the client’s
portfolio. We also monitor the funds or ETFs in an attempt to determine if they are continuing
to follow their stated investment strategy.
A risk of mutual fund and/or ETF analysis is that, as in all securities investments, past
performance does not guarantee future results. A manager who has been successful may not be
able to replicate that success in the future. In addition, as we do not control the underlying
investments in a fund or ETF, managers of different funds held by the client may purchase the
same security, increasing the risk to the client if that security were to fall in value. There is also
a risk that a manager may deviate from the stated investment mandate or strategy of the
fund or ETF, which could make the holding(s) less suitable for the client’s portfolio.
Risks for all forms of analysis. Our securities analysis methods rely on the assumption that the
companies whose securities we purchase and sell, the rating agencies that review these
securities, and other publicly-available sources of information about these securities, are
providing accurate and unbiased data. While we are alert to indications that data may be
incorrect, there is always a risk that our analysis may be compromised by inaccurate or
misleading information.
WWM Advisory Inc.
Item 9 Disciplinary Information
We are required to disclose any legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client's or
prospective client's evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our management.
Our firm and our management personnel have no reportable disciplinary events to disclose.
Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Applications for registration as a broker-dealer/registered representative
We, nor our management persons, do not have any application pending to register, as a
broker-dealer or a registered representative.
Applications for futures/commodity/Other merchants
We, nor our management persons, do not have any application pending to register, as a

an associate person of foregoing entities.
Relationships/Affiliations
Our firm and our related persons are not registered or affiliated with any other investment
adviser or other financial industry company.
Other Investment Advisor
As previously disclosed in Item 4 our firm may recommend third-party advisers. However,
WWM Advisory Inc. is in no way a solicitor for any third-party adviser and will not receive
any compensation from third-party advisers that we recommend.
Item 11 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
WWM Advisory Inc. and individuals associated with our firm are prohibited from engaging in
the following:
● Principal transactions
● Agency cross transactions
Buy or sell securities about the same time as you: It is the expressed policy of our firm that no
person employed by us may purchase or sell any security prior to a transaction(s) being
implemented for an advisory account, thereby preventing such employee(s) from benefiting
from transactions placed on behalf of advisory accounts.
Invest in securities we recommend to you: Our firm and/or individuals associated with our firm
WWM Advisory Inc.
may buy or sell for their personal accounts securities identical to or different from those
recommended to our clients. In addition, any related person(s) may have an interest or position
in a certain security(ies) which may also be recommended to a client.
WWM Advisory Inc. has adopted a formal Code of Ethics, however requires employees to
report all personal securities transactions made during each calendar quarter within 30 days of
the quarter end.
Ethical Standards – Our code of ethics is designed to ensure that our firm meets high ethical
standards.
The Code is designed to address and factor in activities which may lead to or give the
appearance of: (1) conflicts of interest, (2) insider information, and/or (3) other forms of
unethical business conduct.
The code is designed to preserve the name and reputation of the firm and its employees.
This Code establishes rules of conduct to oversee the personal securities trading activities in
the accounts of employees (if any), immediate family/household accounts and accounts in
which an employee has a beneficial interest.
Fiduciary Duty —Our code establishes that we have a fiduciary duty to our clients to
conduct affairs, including their personal securities transactions, in a manner to avoid:
Serving their own personal interests ahead of clients,
Taking inappropriate actions, such as abusing their position with the firm, and
Actual conflicts of interest that would jeopardize their position of trust and responsibility.
Item 12 Brokerage Practices

registration.

offer portfolio management services through a brokerage at this time.

Directed brokerage

Aggregating client accounts
WWM Advisory Inc.

and, therefore, we implement client transactions separately for each account.

commission rate. Additionally, our clients may not receive volume discounts available to
advisers who block client trades.

transactions. We urge our clients to carefully compare the information provided on these
statements to ensure that all account transactions, holdings and values are correct and current.
Item 16 Investment Discretion
Clients may hire us to provide discretionary asset management services, in which case we place
trades in a client's account without contacting the client prior to each trade to obtain the client's
permission.
Our discretionary authority includes the ability to do the following without contacting the
client:
● determine the security to buy or sell; and/or
● determine the amount of the security to buy or sell

our firm, and may limit this authority by giving us written instructions. Clients may also

firm may provide investment advisory services relative to client investment assets, clients
maintain exclusive responsibility for: (1) directing the manner in which proxies solicited by
issuers of securities beneficially owned by the client shall be voted, and (2) making all elections
relative to any mergers, acquisitions, tender offers, bankruptcy proceedings or other type events

custodian of the assets, to forward to the client copies of all proxies and shareholder
communications relating to the client’s investment assets.
