Retirement Rollovers A client or prospective client leaving an employer typically has four options regarding an existing retirement plan (and may engage in a combination of these options): (i) leave the money in the former employer’s plan, if permitted, (ii) roll over the assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, (iii) roll over to an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”), or (iv) cash out the account value (which could, depending upon the client’s age, result in adverse tax consequences). When tFs provides rollover advice to a client or prospect regarding a retirement plan account or individual retirement account, tFs is acting as a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. If tFs recommends that a client roll over their retirement plan assets or transfer an IRA into an account to be managed by tFs, and tFs will earn an advisory fee on the rolled over assets, that recommendation creates a conflict of interest. Accordingly, tFs operates under a special rule that requires tFs to act in the client or prospects best interest and not put tFs interest ahead of the client’s or prospects. No client is under any obligation to roll over retirement plan assets or transfer IRA assets to an account managed by tFs. tFs‘s Chief Compliance Officer, Chris Jackson, remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding the conflict of interest presented by such rollover recommendation. Interns: tFS will at times employ interns from local universities and possibly high schools. Interns will be interviewed by the CEO and/or his delegate other employees. They will submit a resume and the CEO, CCO, or their delegate will conduct thorough character investigation. They will complete all appropriate employment paperwork, sign confidentiality agreements, read policies & procedures, and receive the employee handbook. Their responsibilities will include a wide variety of basic or specific functions or projects as assigned. Wrap Fee Program We do not participate in wrap fee programs,
