Wealth Advisors in writing. Retirement Plan Rollover Partial Lump Sum Distribution Recommendations When Shield Wealth Advisors provides investment advice about your retirement plan account or individual retirement account (“IRA”) including whether to maintain investments and/or proceeds in the retirement plan account, roll over such investment/proceeds from the retirement plan account to a IRA or make a distribution from the retirement plan account, we acknowledge that Shield Wealth Advisors is a “fiduciary” within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way Shield Wealth Advisors makes money creates conflicts with your interests so Shield Wealth Advisors operates under a special rule that requires Shield Wealth Advisors to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of you. Under this special rule’s provisions, Shield Wealth Advisors must as a fiduciary to a retirement plan account or IRA under ERISA/IRC:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (e.g., give prudent advice);
• Never put the financial interests of Shield Wealth Advisors ahead of you when making recommendations (e.g., give loyal advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that Shield Wealth Advisors gives advice that is in your best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for the services of Shield Wealth Advisors; and
• Give Client basic information about conflicts of interest. To the extent We recommend you roll over your account from a current retirement plan account to an individual retirement account managed by Shield Wealth Advisors, please know that Shield Wealth Shield Wealth Advisors, LLC Page 7 Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure Advisors and our investment adviser representatives have a conflict of interest. We can earn increased investment advisory fees by recommending that you roll over your account at the retirement plan to an IRA managed by Shield Wealth Advisors. We will earn fewer investment advisory fees if you do not roll over the funds in the retirement plan to an IRA managed by Shield Wealth Advisors. Thus, our investment adviser representatives have an economic incentive to recommend a rollover of funds from a retirement plan to an IRA which is a conflict of interest because our recommendation that you open an IRA account to be managed by our firm can be based on our economic incentive and not based exclusively on whether or not moving the IRA to our management program is in your overall best interest. We have taken steps to manage this conflict of interest. We have adopted an impartial conduct standard whereby our investment adviser representatives will (i) provide investment advice to a retirement plan participant regarding a rollover of funds from the retirement plan in accordance with the fiduciary status described below, (ii) not recommend investments which result in Shield Wealth Advisors receiving unreasonable compensation related to the rollover of funds from the retirement plan to an IRA, and (iii) fully disclose compensation received by Shield Wealth Advisors and our supervised persons and any material conflicts of interest related to recommending the rollover of funds from the retirement plan to an IRA and refrain from making any materially misleading statements regarding such rollover. When providing advice to you regarding a retirement plan account or IRA, our investment advisor representatives will act with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims, based on the investment objectives, risk, tolerance, financial circumstances, and a client’s needs, without regard to the financial or other interests of Shield Wealth Advisors or our affiliated personnel. Financial Planning & Consulting Services - Shield Wealth Advisors offers financial planning services, which involve preparing a written financial plan covering specific or multiple topics. We provide full written financial plans, which typically address the following topics: Investment Planning, Retirement Planning, Portfolios Review, Asset Allocation, Risk management, and Estate Planning. When providing financial planning and consulting services, the role of your investment adviser representative is to find ways to help you understand your overall financial situation and help you set financial objectives. Written financial plans prepared by us do not include specific recommendations of individual securities. We also offer consultations in order to discuss financial planning issues when you do not need a written financial plan. We offer a one-time consultation, which covers mutually agreed upon areas of concern related to investments or financial planning. We also offer “as-needed” consultations, which are limited to consultations in response to a particular investment or financial planning issue raised or request made by you. Under an “as-needed” consultation, it will be incumbent upon you to identify those particular issues for which you are seeking our advice or consultation on.

You have the sole responsibility for determining whether to implement our financial planning and consulting Shield Wealth Advisors, LLC Page 8 Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure recommendations.
