B. TYPES OF ADVISORY SERVICES
IWS provides investment advisory services, including financial planning, investment management
and retirement income solutions for a variety of account types including employer sponsored
defined contribution accounts, individual retirement accounts and taxable accounts.
Investment Management Services
We help individuals develop a strategy to help them reach their investment and retirement goals.
We believe that clients are best suited with a blended portfolio which includes both a buy and hold
portion and a strategic allocation for active investment customized to our clients’ require changes
to their financial situation. We understand that not all clients with the same risk tolerance have the
same needs. We utilize an in-depth client interview process combined with investment policy
statement and Riskalyze to determine our clients’ individual needs. We then assist the client in
implementing our tailored strategy on a discretionary basis. We generally invest our clients in a
combination of ETF’s, mutual funds, and individual stocks.
Once a client is invested, we periodically review our client’s financial situation and portfolio
through regular contact with client. We will meet with our client annually.
Selection of Other Advisers
We may direct clients to third-party investment advisers. Before recommending other advisers for
clients, we will verify that all recommended advisers are properly licensed, notice filed, or exempt
in the states where we are recommending the adviser to clients.
We participate in the Model Marketplace of Altruist LLC, an SEC- registered investment adviser
and affiliate of Altruist Financial LLC. We may assign to client accounts any of the available
Altruist LLC- generated portfolios, Third-Party Portfolios, or other portfolios made available
through Altruist LLC’s Model Marketplace. All Altruist LLC advisory fees for assigned portfolios
are charged directly to client accounts.
Retirement Plan Management Services
Our retirement plan management service is available to plan sponsors of 401(k)s, profit-sharing,
non-qualified deferred compensation, and retirement plans (“Plans”). It is intended for small and
mid-sized companies, organizations, endowments, and associations, who may benefit from value-
add services such as participant education, professionally managed asset selection and a single
point of contact for the sponsor of the plan and its employees.
We provide general investment advisory services specifically tailored to the needs of a trustee or
other fiduciary, including but not limited to, meeting the definition of “fiduciary” under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and the Pension Protection Act of
2006 (PPA). These services are designed to assist Plan Sponsors in meeting their management and
fiduciary obligations to the Plan Participants. In such cases, IWS will select a menu of investments
to be offered in the Plans. The services associated with the provided menu will include identifying
levels of risk, identifying return and liquidity objectives, and establishing an investment policy.
Participants will be able to create a diversified portfolio from the investments provided. Usually,
the investment securities consist of funds including, but not limited to, mutual funds and ETFs.
We do not have discretion to choose a particular option for participants as these plans are
employee-directed. Therefore, we are not responsible for reviewing or changing any participant’s
decision to invest in a particular investment option.
IWS may also offer, as negotiated, Designated Investment Alternatives, and Qualified Default
Investment Alternatives. Plan sponsors (or other Plan fiduciaries or agents) are permitted to impose
reasonable restrictions on the underlying assets used in the Investment Options recommended to
the Plan. For example, a Plan sponsor (or other Plan fiduciary or agent) may request that securities
or types of securities not be purchased, or that such securities be sold. IWS reserves the right, at
our sole discretion, to reject any Plan account where unreasonable or overly restrictive conditions
are requested.
Financial Planning Services
We provide our clients with an in-depth analysis of their current financial situation, as well as
detailed recommendations relating to the client’s financial goals. These services are provided on a
non-discretionary basis. Financial planning services do not involve the active management of client
accounts, but instead focus on allocation advice based on client’s overall financial situation.
Financial planning can be described as helping individual to determine and set their long-term
financial goals through investments, tax planning, asset allocation, risk management, retirement
planning, and other areas. The role of the financial planner is to find ways to help the client understand
their overall financial situation and help the client set financial objectives. Financial Planning
requires multiple and frequent meetings between the Adviser and the client to ensure the accuracy
and effectiveness of the plan.
Our financial planning service may include a detailed net worth statement, current asset allocation
analysis, insurance needs analysis, asset allocation recommendations, and a detailed retirement plan.
IWS offers a fixed financial planning option as well as a monthly subscription service option. A
detailed description of these services can be found in Item 5.
In offering financial planning, a conflict exists between the interests of IWS and the interests of the
client. Client always has the right to decide whether to act upon recommendations made by IWS,
and, if the client elects to act on any of the recommendations, effect the transaction through the
professional of their choosing .
C. TAILORED RELATIONSHIPS
We tailor our services to the individual needs of the client through the use of a risk analysis
questionnaire and the development of a personal profile or for employer sponsored plans, the
creation of an Investment Policy Statement. Clients including Plan Sponsors, may ask to impose
limiting restrictions in investing in certain securities or types of securities if the restriction allows
for us to effectively manage the relationship.
D. ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
When calculating regulatory assets under management, an Investment Adviser must include the
value of any advisory account over which it exercises continuous and regular advisory or
management services. As of 12/31/2022, the Firm reports $2,435,262.00 in client assets on a
discretionary basis and $ 8,446,274.00 on a non-discretionary basis.
E. WRAP FEE PROGRAMS
IWS does not offer a wrap fee program.
