Fragasso Financial Advisors, Inc. (“FFA”, we” or “our”) provides clients with various asset management programs and financial planning services as described below. The Fragasso Group, Inc. doing business under the name of FFA, became registered as an investment advisor in 1996. Robert Fragasso started as a sole practitioner in 1972, forming the Fragasso Group in 1979, and moved to an independent broker/dealer and investment advisor in 1996. The Fragasso Group, Inc. began operating under the name FFA in 2007, and changed its legal name to Fragasso Financial Advisors, Inc. in 2016. The primary owner of FFA is Fragasso Financial Advisors, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Trust. FFA also uses the following additional names when conducting its advisory business; Fragasso Investment Advisors, Fragasso Retirement Plan Advisors, and Fragasso Non-Profit Investment Advisors. Asset Management Services FFA offers discretionary asset management services through a program account (the “Program”) based on the individual needs of clients (“client”, “you” or “your”). Understanding your personal situation is very important to the services we provide. We will determine your financial goals and objectives, as well as your family responsibilities and tolerance for risk, through discussions with you. The investment objective you select, which could range from income with capital preservation to aggressive growth, will guide us in managing your account. In the Program we provide management services using a variety of investment types, including but not limited to, institutional no-load and load-waived mutual funds, exchange traded funds (“ETF”), variable annuity subaccounts, alternative investments, structured notes, real estate investment trusts, individual stocks and options. In order for FFA to manage your assets, you will be required to establish a Program account in your name at an approved and qualified custodian. The custodian provides clearing, custody and other services for accounts established through the Program. You will retain all rights of ownership on your account, including the right to withdraw securities or cash, vote proxies, receive transaction confirmations and receive periodic account statements. In addition, you will also have the ability to impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities at the time you open the account. In order to hire us to provide management services, you will be required to enter into a written investment advisory agreement with us. This agreement will set forth the terms and conditions of our relationship, including the amount of your investment advisory fee. You will also be required to complete an account application with the custodian. When appropriate, we may also recommend a third-party portfolio manager, who will provide individual management to your Program account on a discretionary basis. In this situation, we will assist you in selecting an investment strategy and third-party portfolio manager. We also provide ongoing advice and monitoring of the portfolio manager services and act as a point of contact between you and the portfolio managers. In order to hire a third-party portfolio manager, you will be required to enter into an agreement with the third-party portfolio manager for such services, and we will also be a party to the agreement. We also encourage you to review the third-party portfolio manager’s Form ADV Part 2A for additional information. On an accommodation basis, FFA may also agree to handle certain accounts on a non-managed basis. In such cases, FFA will not be responsible for providing management on either a discretionary or non- discretionary basis.
