Comprehensive Wealth Management Savant is a fee-only investment management firm, offering comprehensive wealth management services to its clients. Services may include any, or all, of the following, depending upon the client’s specific needs:
• Investment Management
• Financial Planning
• Estate Planning and Wealth Transfer
• Tax Advisory and Preparation
• Business Succession Planning
• Accounting and Consulting Services
• Company Retirement Plan Services Savant’s investment model services for advisory clients are intended to comply with Rule 3a-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Clients’ accounts are managed based on their individual financial situations. Each client works with Savant to select the account's investment objective and, to the extent desired by the client, to impose reasonable restrictions on the management of the assets in the account. Clients are under no obligation to act upon any of the recommendations made by Savant. Clients are advised that it remains their responsibility to promptly notify the firm of any change in their financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating, or revising Savant’s recommendations and/or services. For clients that typically do not require the same level of investment complexity due to their current financial needs, we offer more limited models. These models utilize the same asset allocation as our full models however, to help control costs, the mix of funds selected for inclusion within these allocation models is usually more limited than those used in Savant Wealth Management. In order to provide these services at a cost-effective rate, the number and level of services included is narrower than those provided under the Savant Wealth Management umbrella. Investment Management Savant manages client investment portfolios on a discretionary or nondiscretionary basis. Savant helps the client to determine his or her investment objective(s). The following are the major factors Savant considers when recommending and implementing investment recommendations:
• Risk tolerance
• Long-term rate-of-return objective
• Investment time horizon
• Income and liquidity needs
• Tax considerations
• Recommended asset allocation/asset class guidelines
• Limitations on investment holding Sources of information used to develop investment recommendations usually include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Client questionnaire(s) and interview(s)
• Review of client’s current portfolio
• Analysis of historical risk/return characteristics of various asset classes
• Analysis of the long-term outlook for global financial markets
• Analysis of the long-term global economic and political environments Savant maintains a series of asset allocation models based on risk tolerance and investment objective. Model portfolios typically will include a blend of low-cost mutual funds and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) across a broad spectrum of equity, fixed income, and alternative asset classes. In some limited circumstances Savant may incorporate individual fixed income securities, private placement funds, or use option strategies. We also maintain socially responsible model portfolios for clients with social values or sustainability as an objective. Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a broker/dealer. Savant works with the client to select and implement an appropriate model portfolio for each account, consistent with the client’s investment objective and risk profile. Savant will periodically rebalance the client’s investment portfolio to conform to the asset allocation/asset class guidelines accepted by the client. Savant, in consultation with the client, will periodically review each client’s portfolio to determine whether risk and return objectives should be revised as a result of changes in the client's financial circumstances. From time to time and to the extent permitted in each client’s advisory agreement, Savant may recommend and utilize the sub-advisory, separately managed account (“SMA”), and Turnkey Asset Management Program (“TAMP”) services of a third-party investment advisory firm or individual advisor (altogether, “Third Party Managers”) to aid in the implementation of an investment portfolio designed by our firm to meet the unique needs or complexities of that client. In such cases, it is usually necessary for Savant to collect certain financial information regarding clients and make that information available to these Third Party Managers. Where appropriate, Savant may also provide advice about any type of legacy position or other investment held in client portfolios. Clients may engage Savant to manage and/or advise on certain investment products that are not maintained at their primary custodian, such as variable life insurance and annuity contracts and assets held in employer sponsored retirement plans and qualified tuition plans (i.e., 529 plans). In these situations, Savant recommends the allocation of client assets among the various investment options available with the product. These assets are generally maintained at the underwriting insurance company, or the custodian designated by the product’s provider. Savant’s service is limited to reporting and non-discretionary consulting services only, which does not include investment implementation. The client and/or their other advisors that maintain trading authority, and not Savant, shall be exclusively responsible for the investment performance and implementation of any recommendations.

• Ensure all filings with the federal government (form 5500, etc.) are timely made
• Make important disclosures available to plan participants
• Hire plan service providers Savant can serve as a plan fiduciary to the extent specified in the agreement signed between Savant and the client. Savant’s service as fiduciary and plan administrator, and the related responsibilities, will terminate when the agreement ends. Savant’s obligations are contingent upon the client providing timely and accurate information regarding the plan it sponsors and/or its participants. At the discretion and expense of Savant, we can outsource any of the above services. As an accommodation to the plan, services provided to/for participants’ self-directed brokerage accounts are limited to obtaining periodic statements from the custodian or plan participant; updating the plan’s recordkeeping account; and reporting the self-directed brokerage account activity and balances on federal government filings as required. On a select basis, Savant may provide consulting services that is more limited in nature than the programs listed above. Please note that Savant does not monitor its own services when serving as named plan administrator under ERISA 3(16). We have a conflict of interest because Savant earns compensation as a result of the engagement. The Plan Sponsor makes the decision to engage Savant as investment manager and plan administrator and Savant is not acting as a fiduciary to the Plan when negotiating the terms of its own agreement. Sub-Advisory Services Savant serves as a sub-adviser to unaffiliated registered investment advisers per the terms and conditions of a written Sub-Advisory Agreement. With respect to its sub-advisory services, the unaffiliated investment advisers that engage Savant's sub-advisory services maintain both the initial and ongoing day- to-day relationship with the underlying client, including initial and ongoing determination of client suitability for Savant's designated investment strategies. If the custodian/broker-dealer is determined by the unaffiliated investment adviser, Savant will be unable to negotiate commissions and/or transaction costs, and/or seek better execution. As a result, client may pay higher commissions or other transaction costs or greater spreads, or receive less favorable net prices, on transactions for the account than would otherwise be the case through alternative clearing arrangements recommended by Savant. Higher transaction costs adversely impact account performance. Other Services and Limitations Non-Investment Matters. As discussed above, Savant provides financial planning and consulting services regarding non-investment related matters, such as estate planning, tax planning, insurance, etc. Neither Savant, nor any of its representatives, serves as an attorney or insurance agent, and no portion of Savant’s services should be construed as same. Recommended Professionals. To the extent requested by a client, Savant recommends the services of other professionals for certain non-investment implementation purposes (i.e. attorneys, accountants, insurance, etc.), including its affiliated accounting firm, Savant Tax & Consulting, and affiliated law firm, Savant Legal LLP (See Item 10 below). The client is under no obligation to engage the services of any such recommended professional and Savant will not be held responsible for any act or omission by these professionals. The client retains absolute discretion over all such implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject any recommendation from Savant. Rollover Recommendations. 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). If Savant recommends that a client roll over their retirement plan assets into an account to be managed by Savant, such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest and a prohibited transaction if Savant will earn new (or increase its current) compensation as a result of the rollover. When acting in such capacity, Savant serves as a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”), or the Internal Revenue Code, or both and adheres to the impartial conduct standards. In conjunction with any such rollover recommendation, Savant will demonstrate and document why such recommendation is in the client’s best interest and will provide the client with a written fiduciary acknowledgement. No client is under any obligation to rollover retirement plan assets to an account managed by Savant.
