We provide our clients with a wide array of investment advisory services. Our firm is a corporation formed in the State of Pennsylvania in 1991 and has been in business as an investment adviser since 2003. Our firm is owned by Jerome J. McHale, Jr., President/Treasurer/Chief Compliance Officer, and Ms. Maria A. Williamson, Vice President/Corporate Secretary. The purpose of this Brochure is to disclose the conflicts of interest associated with the investment transactions, compensation and any other matters related to investment decisions made by our firm or its representatives. As a fiduciary, it is our duty to always act in the client’s best interest. This is accomplished in part by knowing our client. Our firm has established a service-oriented advisory practice with open lines of communication for many different types of clients to help meet their financial goals while remaining sensitive to risk tolerance and time horizons. Working with clients to understand their investment objectives while educating them about our process, facilitates the kind of working relationship we value. Description of the Types of Advisory Services We Offer Pension Consulting: We provide pension consulting services to employer plan sponsors on a one-time or ongoing basis. Generally, such pension consulting services consist of assisting employer plan sponsors in establishing, monitoring and reviewing their company's participant-directed retirement plan. As the needs of the plan sponsor dictate, areas of advising could include investment options, plan structure and participant education. All pension consulting services shall comply with the applicable state law(s) regulating pension consulting services. This applies to client accounts that are pension or other employee benefit plans (“Plan”) governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). If the client accounts are part of a Plan, and we accept appointments to provide our services to such accounts, we acknowledge that we are a fiduciary within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA (but only with respect to the provision of services described in section 1 of the Pension Consulting Agreement). Referrals to Third-Party Money Managers: We provide clients with a list of investment advisory services of third-party

professional portfolio management firms for the individual management of client accounts. As part of this process, we assist clients in identifying an appropriate third-party money manager. We provide initial due diligence on third party money managers and ongoing reviews of their management of your account. To assist clients in the selection of a third-party money manager, we typically gather information from the client about their financial situation, investment objectives, and reasonable restrictions they can impose on the management of the account, which are often very limited. It is important to note that we do not offer advice on any specific securities or other investments in connection with this service. Investment advice and trading of securities is only offered by or through the third-party money managers to clients. ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure Page 5 ASCO Financial Group, Inc.

The client will be expected to notify us of any changes in his/her financial situation, investment objectives, or account restrictions that could affect their account. The client may also directly contact the third-party money manager managing the account or sponsoring the program.
