Advisory Business
Founded in 1995, Woodley Farra Manion Portfolio Management, Inc. is an SEC-registered
investment advisory firm with the following principals and officers: Donald F. Woodley, President
and Principal; George S. Farra, Secretary and Principal; Michael P. Manion, Vice President and
Principal; Kyle W. Harlemert, Principal; Ross M. Bennett, Principal, John C. Shelbourne, Principal,
Jared J. Ruxer, Principal, Emily M. Pyle, Principal, and Kimberly A. Bright, Principal.
Woodley Farra provides both discretionary and non-discretionary investment management
services for clients, which include investment selections and recommendations, portfolio
monitoring, reporting, and re-balancing, as described in more detail later in this Brochure. As of
12/31/2024, the Firm managed a total of $2,053,146,989 in Discretionary assets on behalf of
1317 clients, and $35,732,509 in Non-Discretionary assets on behalf of 3 clients.
The investment management services offered can be tailored to each client. As such, if any client
requires any restrictions on types of investments or market segments, the client needs to inform
Woodley Farra of the restrictions in writing. If, for any reason, the Firm is not able to meet the
client restrictions, the Firm will notify the client of that fact.
Woodley Farra participates as a sub-advisor for wrap fee programs sponsored by other
investment advisers or broker-dealers. The Firm provides generally the same services in wrap fee
programs as for other, non-wrap accounts. In wrap fee programs, WFM’s fee for services is
typically charged separately from that of the other investment adviser or broker-dealer. In these
cases, investors should be sure to evaluate the reasonableness of the combined fees. However, in
one case Woodley Farra receives a portion of the overall wrap fee for its services in the wrap fee
program.
In some cases, WFM serves as a sub-adviser to another investment adviser. Additionally, for other
clients, Woodley Farra recommends other advisers to the client to manage certain aspects of the
account. Woodley Farra also makes joint proposals to institutional clients from time to time,
working with one or more third-party investment advisers. In these cases, if WFM is retained for
the work, it enters into its own investment advisory agreement with the institutional client.
Fees and Compensation
Woodley Farra is compensated by charging its clients a fee based on the value of each client’s
assets under management with Woodley Farra. The Firm’s standard fee is calculated accordance
with the following schedule:
Asset Value
First $500,000.00
Next $500,000.00
Annual Fee %
1.25%
4
1.00%
Next $2,000,000.00
Next $2,000,000.00
0.75%
0.50%
Fees are due and payable in advance of the quarter in which services are rendered. The quarterly
fee is based upon the portfolio balance as of the last trading day of the preceding quarter. If
services are initiated or terminated at any time other than the beginning or end of a calendar
quarter, fees will be pro-rated. Clients who began their relationship with WFM prior to 11/25/96
are generally billed in arrears.
WFM’s minimum fee is generally $250 per quarter; however, WFM may waive this minimum
under certain circumstances.
Woodley Farra’s standard form of investment advisory agreement provides that WFM’s
management fee may be deducted directly from the client’s investment management account at
the custodian and automatically remitted to Woodley Farra. However, clients may request in
writing at any time to change the method of fee deduction/billing and instead pay WFM’s
management fees by check.
However, the following criteria must be met in accordance with the SEC’s Investment Advisers Act
of 1940, when payment is directly deducted by a qualified custodian: (1) The client provides
written authorization permitting the fees to be paid directly from the client’s account held by the
independent custodian and the authorization is limited to withdrawing contractually agreed upon
investment advisory fees; (2) Custodians do not verify advisory fees - therefore clients are
encouraged to direct any questions or concerns regarding fees to Woodley Farra by calling our
office; (3) The frequency of fee withdrawal shall be specified in the written
authorization/agreement; (4) The custodian of the account shall be advised in writing of the
limitation on the adviser’s access to the account; (5) The custodian agrees to send to the client a
statement, at least quarterly, indicating all amounts disbursed from the account including the
amount of advisory fees paid directly to Woodley Farra; (6) The client shall be able to terminate
the written billing authorization or agreement at any time. Since the custodian does not verify the
accuracy of the advisory fee calculation, the Client should verify each statement received by the
custodian and contact WFM if any questions should arise.
Additional Fee Information and Disclosures:
All advisory fees are negotiable between the Firm and a client.
The only compensation Woodley Farra receives is its quarterly fee described above. Clients will
have brokerage commissions charged by the brokerage firm where transactions are directed
along with any other applicable transaction fees, service fees, or taxes. Additionally, if an account
is held at a bank or trust company, that institution will charge fees ranging from custodial to full
trustee fees. Also, mutual funds charge management and expense fees in addition to WFM’s
investment management fees, as outlined in each funds’ prospectus. Both the bank fees and
mutual fund fees can be substantial and should be scrutinized by clients.
Termination of Services:
5
Advisory services are continuous in nature, but either party may terminate the investment
advisory contract. Should WFM terminate the agreement, it will provide the client 14 days written
notice to the other party’s last known legal address. During the 14 day notice period, WFM will act
as investment advisor on a non-discretionary basis to assist the client with account management
wrap up with advisory services completely terminating at the end of the notice period. Generally,
should the client terminate the relationship, the Firm will provide written acknowledgment of the
request and cease advisory services on the date of receiving notification. Fees paid will be
prorated to the date of termination and any unearned portion of prepaid fees will be refunded to
the client. Clients may terminate their advisory contract without penalty and with no fees due
within five (5) business days of signing the agreement.
Performance Based Fees and
Side-By-Side Management
Woodley Farra does not charge any Side-By-Side Management fees or performance-based fees of
any kind.
Types of Clients
Woodley Farra generally provides investment advice to individuals, pension and profit-sharing
plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and corporations (and other business organizations
such as LLCs, LLPs, etc.).
Woodley Farra generally suggests a minimum initial account size of $250,000, though this
minimum may be waived or adjusted in WFM’s discretion.
Methods of Analysis, Investment
Strategies, and Risk of Loss
Investing in securities of any kind involves risk of loss that clients must be prepared to bear.
Woodley Farra endeavors to alleviate as much risk of permanent loss as possible through diligent
research and portfolio monitoring, but there can never be any guarantee that our clients won’t
suffer a permanent loss.
When providing our advisory services, Woodley Farra analyzes information provided by the client
so as to identify and evaluate an investor’s goals, risk tolerance and investment time horizon in an
effort to determine an appropriate investment strategy. Therefore, the client’s active participation
in both the initial and on-going review and analysis process is critical. Any change in client
background or financial information, including changes in family structure, marital status, income,
work or retirement status, or other relevant information, must be immediately communicated to
WFM by the client.
Our method of analysis is four pronged:
•
•
Fundamental - Detailed analysis of a company’s financial and competitive health
Quantitative - Analyze a company’s stock valuation utilizing several proprietary formulas
6
•
•
Technical - Identify trends in supply and demand for the stock under review
Economic - Analyze economic trends and the potential effect on a company’s valuation
Investment strategies used to implement investment advice are generally long-term in nature.
However, investment strategies may include short-term purchases depending upon the individual
needs and objectives of the client and if a particular investment meets the objective in a short time
frame.
Generally, the Firm provides advice on Stocks and Preferred Securities. In some instances, the
Firm may utilize Treasuries or Municipal securities, bank CDs, and Bonds.
For most clients, Woodley Farra builds a portfolio of individual stocks consisting of 25-30
companies in several different industries that provides diversification and exposure to the risks
and benefits of the world economy. Stocks are generally for companies with a market
capitalization (value of outstanding shares) of at least one billion dollars at the time of original
purchase. These companies are selected for their financial strength, larger size, prospect for
growing sales and earnings, and because they appear undervalued given their strength and
prospects. Stocks paying dividends are also emphasized.
WFM offers two main portfolios: the Core Value Portfolio and the Dividend Portfolio.
-
The Core Value Portfolio seeks to provide clients with a portfolio based on competitive
total return and reasonable downside risk protection. This portfolio invests in public
companies that WFM believes are trading at prices below what the firm believes are their
full, intrinsic values. We observe multiple financial ratios and statistics in search of
deviations from historic averages.
-
The Dividend Portfolio seeks to provide clients with higher income than currently offered
by traditional fixed income alternatives, such as bank deposits and U.S. Treasury Bonds.
The Dividend Portfolio is comprised of securities issued by a diverse group of public
companies with higher-than-average dividend yields.
For the fixed income portion of a client’s portfolio, we use investment grade bonds, FDIC-insured
bank CDs and preferred securities of financially solid companies. These securities are laddered so
that there are maturities in most years to guard against rising interest rates, which is one of the
main risks of holding A or better rated fixed income securities. Of course, there is also the chance
that any entity could go bankrupt and not pay off their debt securities.
after
after
Stocks, even of larger, well researched companies, fluctuate in price, sometimes substantially.
History has shown that even large companies with seemingly strong financial underpinnings can
have a rapid deterioration of their finances and go bankrupt. A more frequent trading risk is that
it has become over-valued, and
some investors merely follow the market, buying a security
selling
it has decline too much in value. WFM tries to avoid this “buy high” and “sell low”
mentality through use of the above methodologies. The Firm utilizes outside research as a tool
7
only and not as part of the buy/sell decision making process. However, clients need to be aware
that securities always carry a risk of loss.
Clients should be aware that sales of investments, including transactions that result to maintain
the client’s desired asset allocation, may result in taxable gain(s) or loss(es) to the client. Clients
are encouraged to consult their personal tax advisor about tax consequences as a result of
transactions or any particular investment held in their account.
Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to report any legal or disciplinary events that are
material to a client’s evaluation of our advisory business and the integrity of our management.
There are no legal or disciplinary events that are reportable under this Item for either Woodley
Farra or any supervised person of Woodley Farra.
Other Financial Industry
Activities and Affiliations
Woodley Farra’s only business and source of income is fee-only investment management. No
products are sold, and no commissions or incentive payments of any kind are received. Neither the
Firm nor any individual associated with the Firm is registered with any other investment adviser,
brokerage firm, or insurance agency or company. As described above, however, Woodley Farra
participates in wrap fee programs sponsored by certain other unaffiliated investment advisers
and broker-dealers. In addition, Woodley Farra makes joint proposals to institutional clients from
time to time, working with one or more independent investment advisers. In these cases, if WFM
is retained for the work, it enters into its own investment advisory agreement with the
institutional client. The other adviser(s) may be retained to provide different or complementary
services to the institutional client pursuant to a separate agreement, such as providing joint
reporting.
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest
In Client Transactions, and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics:
Woodley Farra maintains a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that requires every aspect of its business to
be conducted in a fair, lawful and professional manner. Clients and prospective clients may
request a copy of the Code at any time by phone, email or in person at our office.
All Woodley Farra personnel are subject to the Code. The Code requires that employees comply
with all applicable laws relating to the Firm’s business, including anti-fraud provisions of federal
and state securities laws. As a fiduciary, the Firm’s personnel are required to place the client’s
interests before those of the Firm, its employees or oneself. The Firm’s employees are required to
obtain pre-clearance for all securities transactions.
8
All employees are required to report any violations of the Code that they know about or come to
know about.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading:
In the course of managing their own funds, the principals and employees of Woodley Farra buy,
sell or hold securities that Woodley Farra also recommends to or has purchased for clients.
Although the purchase by the Firm, its principals or employees of the same securities as are
owned by clients may align their interests in some respects, it also presents conflicts of interest in
that the Firm, its principals or employees may have an incentive to purchase for clients those same
securities, or not to sell the client’s securities until after their own securities are sold. To help
address the conflicts of interest, such transactions are typically made simultaneously with client
trades in a block transaction which means everybody gets the same price. In cases where different
prices are received on the same day, principals and employees receive the highest price paid or
the lowest price received. Woodley Farra also requires that all advisory representatives and all
other employees obtain prior written approval (initials on the trade ticket) of a disinterested
principal or the CCO for all personal securities transactions.
Woodley Farra does not conduct ‘Principal’ transactions, does not engage in Cross-Trades
between advisory clients, and does not participate in Agency Cross Transactions of any kind.
Brokerage Practices
How We Select Brokers/Custodians:
We try to select or recommend custodians and brokers who will hold our clients’ 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:
1) Combination of transaction execution services and asset custody services (generally without a
separate fee for custody)
2) Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for your account)
3) Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts
4) Breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds
[ETFs], etc.)
5) Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment decisions
6) Quality of services
7) Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, margin interest rates, other
fees, etc.) and willingness to negotiate the prices
8) Reputation, financial strength, and stability
9
9) Prior service to us and our clients
Currently we select or recommend Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) and Fidelity
Investments. (“Fidelity”) for custodial and brokerage services. In the case of an Irrevocable Trust
that requires a bank to act as custodian, the Firm will introduce the client to at least two bank
trust department contacts to service the account.
Soft Dollars:
WFM may obtain products and services (both proprietary and third-party) other than pure
execution from broker-dealers and use client commissions to pay for those products and services,
known as “soft dollar” arrangements. WFM receives a benefit in this case because it does not have
to produce or pay for the research or other products or services. The Firm utilizes the research as
a tool only and not as part of the Firm’ buy/sell decision making process. To the extent that WFM
receives soft-dollar benefits, it may have an incentive to select or recommend a broker-dealer
based on WFM’s interest in receiving the research or other products or services rather than on
clients’ interest in receiving most favorable execution, and this creates a conflict of interest.
The products and services obtained by Woodley Farra with soft dollars fall within the definition of
research and brokerage services and assist WFM in the performance of its investment decision-
making responsibilities. Thus, they fall within the safe harbor established by Section 28(e) of the
Exchange Act. However, WFM does not take into account the receipt of soft-dollar benefits when
evaluating or selecting brokerage services. To the extent WFM uses soft-dollar benefits, WFM uses
them to service all client accounts. WFM does not receive or track soft-dollar credits by account.
Brokerage for Client Referrals:
Although the Firm does not currently participate in the program, the Firm does pay referral fees
associated with legacy participation in the Schwab Advisor Network® offered by Schwab. The
Schwab Advisor Network service was designed to help investors find an independent investment
adviser. (Schwab is a broker-dealer independent of and unaffiliated with Woodley Farra.) The
Firm participated in the Schwab Advisor Network and received client referrals from Schwab.
Under the program, WFM agreed to pay Schwab a fee as long as the referred client’s account
remained in custody at Schwab. The fee paid by WFM is a percentage of the investment
management fees the client pays the Firm and does not result in any additional charges to the
client. Although Woodley Farra does not currently participate in the Schwab Advisor Network, the
Firm continues to pay fees to Schwab for those clients referred by Schwab to WFM during its
participation.
Woodley Farra pays Schwab a Participation Fee on all referred clients’ accounts that are
maintained in custody at Schwab and a Non-Schwab Custody Fee on all referred accounts that are
maintained at, or transferred to, another custodian. The Participation Fee paid by Woodley Farra
is a percentage of the fees the client owes to Woodley Farra or a percentage of the value of the
assets in the client’s account, subject to a minimum Participation Fee. Woodley Farra pays Schwab
the Participation Fee for so long as the referred client’s account remains in custody at Schwab. The
Participation Fee is billed to Woodley Farra quarterly and may be increased, decreased or waived
by Schwab from time to time. The Participation Fee is paid by Woodley Farra and not by the client.
10
Woodley Farra has agreed not to charge clients referred through the Service fees or costs greater
than the fees or costs Woodley Farra charges clients with similar portfolios who were not referred
through the Service.
Woodley Farra generally pays Schwab a Non-Schwab Custody Fee if custody of a referred client’s
account is not maintained by, or assets in the account are transferred from Schwab. This Fee does
not apply if the client was solely responsible for the decision not to maintain custody at Schwab.
The Non- Schwab Custody Fee is a one-time payment equal to a percentage of the assets placed
with a custodian other than Schwab. The Non-Schwab Custody Fee is higher than the Participation
Fees Advisor generally would pay in a single year. Thus, Woodley Farra will have an incentive to
recommend that referred client accounts be held in custody at Schwab.
The Participation and Non-Schwab Custody Fees will be based on assets in accounts of Woodley
Farra’s clients who were referred by Schwab and those referred clients’ family members living in
the same household. Thus, Woodley Farra has incentives to encourage household members of
clients referred through the Service to maintain custody of their accounts and execute
transactions at Schwab and to instruct Schwab to debit Woodley Farra’s fees directly from the
accounts.
For accounts of Woodley Farra’s clients maintained in custody at Schwab, Schwab will not charge
the client separately for custody but will receive compensation from Woodley Farra’s clients in the
form of commissions or other transaction-related compensation on securities trades executed
through Schwab. Schwab also will receive a fee (generally lower than the applicable commission
on trades it executes) for clearance and settlement of trades executed through broker-dealers
other than Schwab. Schwab’s fees for trades executed at other broker-dealers are in addition to
the other broker-dealer’s fees. Thus, for referred accounts Woodley Farra may have an incentive
to cause trades to be executed through Schwab rather than another broker-dealer. Woodley Farra
nevertheless, acknowledges its duty to seek best execution of trades for client accounts. Trades for
client accounts held in custody at Schwab may be executed through a different broker-dealer than
trades for Woodley Farra’s other clients. Thus, trades for accounts custodied at Schwab may be
executed at different times and different prices than trades for other accounts that are executed at
other broker-dealers.
Directed Brokerage:
1. We do not require clients to direct us to execute transactions through a specific broker-dealer.
2. Where clients direct Woodley Farra to place trades through their retail custodial broker, as
distinguished from the institutional trading department, the clients will forego any benefit from
savings on execution costs Woodley Farra might otherwise obtain for its non-directing clients. For
those clients where the custodian is not a bank or who direct the use of a particular broker,
Woodley Farra may be unable or limited in its ability to negotiate commissions or otherwise seek
to obtain the best price or execution for the client’s transactions.
Aggregating Orders:
Woodley Farra may aggregate different clients’ purchase or sale orders in a particular security
when such aggregation may result in a more favorable net result to all participating clients.
However, Woodley Farra is under no obligation to so aggregate orders. Circumstance may arise
11
where Woodley Farra determines that, while it would be both desirable and suitable to aggregate
client orders for a particular security or other investment, there is a limited supply or demand for
the security or other investment. Under such circumstances, while Woodley Farra will seek to
allocate such investment opportunities among clients equitably over time, Woodley Farra may not
be able to assure equality of treatment among all of its clients with respect to any particular
opportunity transacted nor assure that each such opportunity will be proportionally allocated
among participating clients. Where, because of prevailing market conditions, it is not possible to
obtain the same price or time of execution for all of the securities or other investments purchased
or sold, the broker may average the various prices obtained in an aggregated order and charge or
credit all of the participating accounts with the average price at which the orders were filled for all
such participating client accounts on each applicable day.
However, for clients whose account is located at Schwab, Schwab allocates commissions to each
account involved in the block trade per the pre-arranged commission schedule negotiated by
Woodley Farra on behalf of all Advisor’s Schwab clients.
ITEM 13 – Review of Accounts
Clients’ accounts are reviewed on a regular basis by the assigned Portfolio Manager and
Compliance Officer. On a quarterly basis, all accounts undergo a preliminary review by a team of
Portfolio Managers and Analysts. This review is then followed by formal, more in depth review by
the primary Portfolio Manager. The secondary review focuses on the client’s unique
circumstances, the appropriateness of the investments and deviations from the relevant model
portfolio.
Staff that conducts both primary and secondary quarterly account reviews are:
Donald F. Woodley, CFA, Principal
Michael P. Manion, Principal
Kyle W. Harlemert, CFA, Principal
Ross M. Bennett, CFA, Principal
Jared J. Ruxer, CFA, Principal
John C. Shelbourne, CFA, Principal
Levi I. Gates
Natalia De Ugarte Munoz, MBA
Clients receive broker confirmations on all securities transactions if the client’s account is
maintained at a brokerage firm. Additionally, most custodians provide statements at either
monthly or quarterly intervals, depending on account activity.
Woodley Farra’s quarterly report typically includes:
•
•
•
•
•
Written commentary on the market, the economy and relevant world events
Performance and asset allocation review
Asset listing with cost basis, current value, percent of total holdings for each asset, dividend
yield or yield to maturity for each asset and liquid holdings (money market cash reserves)
Purchase and sale report showing assets bought or sold during the quarter and their value
A fee calculation showing the amount to be charged by WFM for the upcoming quarter
12
ITEM 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
As described above, Woodley Farra participates as a sub-advisor for wrap fee programs sponsored
by other investment advisers or broker-dealers who provide services to WFM clients participating
in such programs.
Woodley Farra also has written agreements with various entities such as CPA firms to pay them a
portion of the annual fee WFM collects for Client Referrals. The fee arrangement must be disclosed
in writing to the client and acknowledged by the client via signature of a disclosure document, in
accordance with SEC Rule 206(4)-3 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Payment of this fee
will not increase the amount paid by the client for Woodley Farra’s investment advisory services
above that paid by a non-referred client also on our standard fee schedule.
ITEM 15 – Custody
All client funds are held by third-party qualified custodians, which may be banks or registered
broker-dealers. As mentioned above under “Fees and Compensation”, Woodley Farra typically has
authority to directly debit its management fees from clients’ investment management accounts at
the custodian. Woodley Farra also typically has limited powers of attorney to accommodate
trading and the transfer of funds from the custodial account directly to a client’s designated bank
account. The custodian sends monthly, quarterly, and/or annual statements directly to clients and
these statements should carefully and thoroughly reviewed by clients. WFM encourages all clients
to compare any reports provided by the Firm to their custodial or brokerage statements and to
immediately report any discrepancies to WFM.
ITEM 16 – Investment Discretion
When someone decides to become a client, they sign our Investment Advisory Agreement. This
agreement gives Woodley Farra “investment discretion” to manage the investments in a certain
account or accounts on behalf of the client. The client retains authority to terminate this
agreement without any fees being charged for five days immediately following signing and at any
time thereafter. Any unearned fees will be returned to the client. The discretion does not allow
Woodley Farra to send money or assets out of the account to anyone other than the client to the
address of record. The agreement, however, does allow the custodian to pay Woodley Farra its
quarterly investment management fee from the account.
ITEM 17 – Voting Client Securities
13
When agreed between client and Woodley Farra, the Firm has the duty of voting client proxies. In
accordance with its fiduciary duty to clients and Rule 206(4)-6 of the Investment Advisers Act,
Woodley Farra has adopted and implemented written policies and procedures governing the
voting of client securities. All proxies that the Firm receives will be treated in accordance with
these policies and procedures.
Woodley Farra has engaged the services of Broadridge’s ProxyEdge platform to vote and maintain
records of all proxies. The Broadridge open architecture platform allows Woodley Farra to choose
from several different proxy advisory firms to make recommendations on how our Firm should
vote the proxies.
“Glass Lewis”
as the current proxy advisor, who considers the
Woodley Farra has selected
reputation, experience, corporate governance practices and competence of a company’s
management and board of directors, among other things, when it evaluates an issuer.
Woodley Farra’s complete proxy voting policy, procedures, and those of its proxy voting service
providers, are available for client review. In addition, our complete proxy voting record is
available to our clients, but only to our clients. We do not make it publicly available. Clients should
contact the Firm at the phone number provided on the front of this document if they have any
questions regarding our proxy voting policy or if they would like to review any of these
documents.
If WFM is responsible for voting proxies, clients may not direct the vote in a particular solicitation.
If WFM and a client do not agree to have WFM vote client proxies, the custodian will send all proxy
material directly to client at its address of record.
Insofar as WFM’s principals and employees may own the same or related securities as those held
by WFM’s clients, it is possible that WFM or its principals or employees have a conflict of interest
in voting proxies, to the extent that their personal interests affect their decision making. WFM
believes it addresses this risk by following the advice of Glass Lewis via the Broadridge platform,
in that WFM’s principals and employees cannot affect any particular proxy vote made on behalf of
any client.
ITEM 18 – Financial Information
Woodley Farra does not require prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client six months or
more in advance. As such, a Balance Sheet is not required and therefore not attached.
There is also no known financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair the Firm’s ability to
meet contractual commitments to clients. The Firm has not been the subject of a bankruptcy
proceeding.
ITEM 19 – State Registered Advisors
Woodley Farra is an SEC registered investment advisor. As such, this Item is not applicable.
