Item 4 - Advisory Business
John F. Suby Wealth Management, LLC (“Wealth Management”) is an investment adviser registered with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Wealth Management provides Discretionary
Asset Management Services and Consulting Services to a wide variety of clients. Wealth Management
became registered as an investment adviser in August 2009. Wealth Management is wholly owned by
John F. Suby & Associates, S.C. which is owned by John F. Suby, Matthew J. Suby, Amy E.
Butrymowicz, and Sarah E. Slipka. Wealth Management does not control any other firm nor is engaged
in any other business.
Wealth Management's advisory services are described in detail below.
Asset Management Services
Wealth Management provides individualized investment management services which involve ongoing
supervision of client investment accounts. In establishing an Asset Management Account, Wealth
Management's Investment Adviser Representative (“IAR”) gathers information from each new client to
assess the investment objectives and risk tolerance of the client. Once the investment objectives and risk
tolerance have been assessed, Wealth Management will provide the client with investment advice, which
includes an analysis of current investments along with a) recommendations of other appropriate
investments, or b) a recommendation to use the services of a sub-adviser or third-party manager. Clients
should be aware that in most cases Wealth Management will delegate ongoing management services to a
sub-adviser or third-party manager and thus will not actively manage the account itself.
Asset Management services are provided by Wealth Management on a discretionary basis as authorized
by the client through the execution of the Investment Management Agreement. With discretionary
services, Wealth Management and its IARs may buy, sell or exchange securities, and or hire and
terminate sub-advisers or third-party investment managers, without obtaining specific consent from the
client prior to doing so. Sub-advisers and third-party managers to whom authority has been delegated
will also have discretionary authority to buy and sell securities without client consent. Wealth
Management will typically only delegate to a) Greenrock Research, Inc. (“Greenrock”), a sub-adviser, or
b) Provident Trust Company (“Provident”), a third party manager.
For Wealth Management, its sub-advisers, and its third-party managers to make appropriate investment
decisions, it is important that the client provide accurate and complete responses to the questions asked by
the IARs, as well as inform the IARs of changes to the client's investment objectives, personal
circumstances and other factors that may impact management decisions for the account. IARs of Wealth
Management generally will, on at least an annual basis, contact each client to assess whether there have
been objective changes or new restrictions on the management of the Asset Management portfolio.
However, it remains the responsibility of each client to inform Wealth Management of any material
change. Wealth Management does not guarantee the results of investment management advice it gives or
the advice given and actions taken by sub-advisers or third-party portfolio managers. Thus, losses can
occur by using Wealth Management's services.
Investment options for Management accounts include common and preferred stocks, bonds, municipal
securities, government securities, exchange listed limited partnerships, mutual funds, exchange traded
funds, unit investment trusts, and other investment options.
As part of the Asset Management program, Wealth Management will arrange for execution of trades,
custody of assets, and performance reporting.

Because Wealth Management is a registered investment adviser, we are required to meet certain fiduciary
standards when providing investment advice to clients. Additionally, when we provide investment advice
related to a retirement plan account or an individual retirement account, we are considered fiduciaries
within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal
Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. As such, we are required to
act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours, even though our compensation creates
some conflicts with your interests in that the more you have us manage, the more we can earn. Our
clients however are under no obligation to use services recommended by our associated persons.
Furthermore, we believe that our recommendations are in the best interests of our clients and are
consistent with our clients’ needs.
Clients may choose to have an advisory affiliate, John F. Suby & Associates, S.C. an accounting firm,
provide accounting services to the client as part of their Asset Management agreement with Wealth
Management. This is determined at the time of contract execution and a description of the fees can be
found in Item 5 below.
As of December 31, 2024, Wealth Management managed approximately $427,505,173 in assets,
$396,056,506 of which was managed on a discretionary basis, and $31,448,667 of which was managed on
a non-discretionary basis.
Investment Consulting Services
Wealth Management also provides Investment Consulting Services on an hourly or flat fee basis to those
clients seeking financial advice involving particular investment or financial situations. These services are
designed to meet the client's specific financial objectives and needs. The counseling services generally
result in a financial plan, but could also involve more general consulting. Services may relate to areas
such as retirement planning, estate planning, college planning, cash flow analysis, or analysis with regard
to investment of lump sum distributions from employer pension and profit sharing plans.
In preparing a financial plan for a client, information is gathered relevant to the particular service through
personal interviews conducted by the IAR and through documents and other information supplied by the
client. Service may include an analysis of the client's information such as their current assets and
investments, liabilities, short and long-term capital and liquidity needs, risk tolerance and short and long-
term financial goals and objectives.
Should a client choose to implement the recommendations contained in the financial plan, Wealth
Management suggests that the client work closely with his or her attorney, accountant, insurance agent
and/or securities broker. Although Wealth Management IARs generally make recommendations with
respect to products or services offered by Wealth Management and its affiliates, the decision to
implement any such recommendation rests exclusively with the client, and the client has no obligation to
implement any such recommendation.
Retirement Plan Services
Wealth Management also provides discretionary management, non-discretionary management, and
advisory/consulting services for retirement plans. Specific services are designed to meet the client's
specific retirement plan objectives and needs. Depending on the engagement, the services may involve
recommendations regarding the plan which the plan sponsor may choose to accept or decline, or may
involve investment decision making by Wealth Management. Depending on the nature of the
engagement, i.e. advisory or discretionary decision making, Wealth Management may be acting in a 3(21)
or 3(38) ERISA fiduciary capacity.
5
In providing retirement plan services, information is gathered relevant to the particular plan service
through personal interviews conducted by the IAR and through documents and other information supplied
by the client. Service may include an analysis of the plan's information such as their current assets and
investments, liabilities, short and long-term capital and liquidity needs, risk tolerance and short and long-
term financial goals and objectives.
Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
Fees paid to Wealth Management are for Wealth Management advisory services and, when contractually
included, for accounting services which may be provided by Wealth Management’s affiliate, or for
advisory services provided by sub-advisers. The fees do not include, for example, the fees charged by
third party managers nor by other third parties, such as non-affiliated accountants and attorneys, assisting
with providing the client with accounting and legal advice. The fees also do not include administrative
and account maintenance fees charged by account custodians.
Prospective clients should be aware that in addition to Wealth Management's management fees, each
mutual fund in which a client's assets are invested also pays its own advisory fees and other internal
expenses, the deduction of which is reflected in the fund's reported performance. Depending on the fund,
a client may be able to invest directly in the shares issued by the fund with or without incurring any sales
or third-party management fees.
Asset Management Service Fees
Fees for Asset Management Services are negotiable, may vary from client to client, and are calculated as
a percentage of the total value of investments under Wealth Management's management at rates equal to
or less than the rates set forth in the Fee Schedule below. The fee charged by Wealth Management is
separate from transaction, commission, administrative, servicing fees and other servicing fees which may
be charged by the account’s custodian, and management fees which may be charged by third party
managers.
Assets Under Management Annual Fee (Paid Quarterly)
$0 to $1,000,000 1.00%
$1,000,001 to $2,000,000 0.80%
$2,000,001 to $3,000,000 0.60%
$3,000,001 to $5,000,000 0.50%
$5,000,001 to $10,000,000 0.40%
Over $10,000,000 0.30%
For services provided under Wealth Management's program, clients are charged a fee calculated by
applying the contracted annual fee percentage to the account's total value each quarter, which shall be
equal to or less than the rates listed above. The market value, which may be determined on an account by
account basis or household on an aggregated basis (including interest paid or accrued), is calculated as of
the last business day of the applicable calendar quarter. The account custodian will determine fair market
value for fee calculation purposes but will not be responsible for verifying the accuracy of any fee
calculation.
6
For clients having their accounts managed by Provident Trust Company, a third party manager, using
separately managed accounts, the Wealth Management fee will be calculated and debited from the client’s
account quarterly in arrears and the Provident fee will be debited from the client's account monthly in
arrears. No fee adjustments are made for assets deposited or withdrawn during the quarter. If the account
is established any day other than the first day of a calendar quarter, the fee due for the first billing period
is paid on a prorated basis based on the number of days services were provided.
For clients having their accounts managed by Provident Trust Company using mutual funds managed by
Provident Trust Company, client will not be required to pay a management fee directly to Provident Trust
Company, but instead Provident Trust Company will receive a management fee from the Provident Trust
Company managed mutual fund.
For clients having their accounts managed by Greenrock, a sub-adviser, the Wealth Management fee,
which will include compensation paid to Greenrock, will be debited from the client's account quarterly in
advance. No fee adjustments are made for assets deposited or withdrawn during the quarter. If the
account is established any day other than the first day of a calendar quarter, the fee due for the first billing
period is paid on a prorated basis based on the days left in the quarter with the beginning balance used for
fee calculation purposes.
Clients may terminate the agreement at any time in its entirety by giving Wealth Management written
notice of termination. Wealth Management may also terminate by notice to the client. The client is
responsible for paying all fees earned by Wealth Management to date of termination, and any unearned
prepaid fees will be prorated and returned to the client upon termination.
Wealth Management's fees may be more or less than those charged by Wealth Management to another
client for similar services and other advisers for similar services.
For those clients choosing to receive affiliate services, such as accounting and/or trustee services, Wealth
Management will pay its affiliate for those services which have been included in the Management
Agreement. Fees for services provided by the affiliate that are not included in the Management
Agreement are the responsibility of the client.
Investment Consulting Service Fees
Wealth Management may charge fees for Investment Consulting Services based either on an hourly or on
a flat fee basis, as explained below.
Hourly Fees. Wealth Management's hourly fee varies from $100 to $500 per hour and depends upon the
nature and scope of the advice requested by the client, the amount and nature of the research required to
complete the project, and the nature and number of reports required by the client. The hourly fee will be
calculated based upon each professional staff member's time spent on a project. Prior to engagement,
each client signs an agreement which provides an estimate of the total fee for services. One-half of the
estimated fee is due upon contract signing. The balance is due after services have been provided.
Flat Fees. Wealth Management's flat fee is quoted in advance and usually ranges from $500 to $25,000
depending upon the nature and scope of the advice requested by the client, the nature and number of
investments in a client's portfolio, amount and nature of research required to complete the project and
scope and number of reports requested by a client. Flat fees are negotiated based on the nature of the
work, not by the type of client. Prior to engagement, each client signs an Agreement which provides a
proposal of the total fee for services. One-half of the total fee is due upon signing of the advisory
agreement with the balance due after services have been provided.
7
The agreement between Wealth Management and a client for Investment Consulting may be terminated
by either party providing 10 days advance written notice to the other. Any fee due, but not yet paid by a
client, is due promptly after termination of the Agreement. Any unearned portion of a prepaid fee is
prorated and returned to the client.
Retirement Plan Service Fees
Fees charged for retirement plan services may be charged in advance or in arrears depending on the
service provided. Fees may be fixed or asset based (not to exceed 1.00% annually), and are negotiable
depending on the complexity of the service. Fee levels (whether fixed or asset based) are primarily
based on actual services to be provided.
Fees may be deducted directly from client accounts on a quarterly or monthly basis, or clients may elect
to alternatively pay fees by check or wire transfer.
Services may be terminated at any time by either party with 30 days written notice to the other party, and
fees will be prorated accordingly. Any payments made in advance will be prorated and refunded to the
client.
All retirement plan fees paid to Wealth Management are separate and unrelated to any fees or expenses
assessed by any broker, custodian, or other outside party.
Item 6 - Performance Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Wealth Management does not charge any performance-based fees. All fees are disclosed above.
Item 7 - Types of Clients/Minimum Account Size
Wealth Management makes services available to a wide variety of clients including, but not limited to,
individuals, banks or thrift institutions, investment companies, pension and profit sharing plans, trusts,
estates, charitable organizations, corporations and other business entities.
Wealth Management does not require a minimum account size or minimum fee to receive its advisory
services.
Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Wealth Management’s primary investment strategy is to match efficient, diversified portfolios with its
client’s investment needs and tolerance for risk.
To implement this strategy, we typically delegate investment management responsibility to various sub-
advisers and third party managers who will employ their own strategies and methods of analysis when
implementing their respective investment strategies. These managers generally use long term strategic
approaches to investing, but may use some shorter term tactical techniques from time to time. While
individual stocks, mutual funds and exchange traded funds are the primary investment vehicles used in
8
client accounts, various other investment vehicles may be used including alternative investments and
private placements.
The selected sub-advisers and third-party investment advisers will provide portfolio analysis, asset
allocation modeling and analysis, trade execution, general back office administration and performance
monitoring as required. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
These risks include market risk, interest rate risk, currency risk, and political risk, among others. Certain
securities, such as alternative investments and private placements, may be less liquid and may involve
additional risk. Certain trading strategies can affect investment performance through increased brokerage
fees and other transactions. Because of the risks that exist, each client’s propensity for risk is thoroughly
evaluated, documented, and considered throughout the portfolio implementation process.
For retirement plan engagements, the objective is to assist the Plan Sponsor in implementing a Plan that
meets the objectives as described in the Plan’s governing documents in an efficient and cost-effective
manner. Implementation of the strategy varies depending on the scope of the engagement.
No investment strategy can assure a profit or avoid a loss.
Item 9 - Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to the evaluation of the firm or the integrity of its management.
Wealth management is currently not subject to, nor has ever been subject to, any legal or disciplinary
events.
Item 10 - Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Wealth Management is a single member limited liability company owned by John F. Suby & Associates,
S.C. a full-service accounting firm offering auditing, accounting and tax services. Both firms' expect that
they will refer clients to each other for no fee if either believes the other will benefit their clients.
Wealth Management clients may also receive accounting services from John F. Suby & Associates as part
of their engagement with Wealth Management. For those clients receiving accounting services, the fee
for such services may be included under the fee being paid to Wealth Management under the client’s
Management Agreement, or the fees may be separate, depending on the contractual arrangement.
Clients are advised that the relationship between Wealth Management and its affiliate may give each an
incentive to recommend or use the other should additional services be needed by a client, which may be a
potential conflict of interest since the affiliated party may be compensated. However, our clients are
under no obligation to purchase services from any particular entity, and we fully disclose the relationship
between the two firms. We believe that our recommendations are always in the best interests of our
clients and are consistent with our clients’ needs.
9
Item 11 - Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal
Trading
Code of Ethics
Wealth Management has adopted a Code of Ethics expressing the firm's commitment to ethical conduct.
Wealth Management’s Code of Ethics describes the firm's fiduciary duties and responsibilities to clients,
and details practices for reviewing the personal securities transactions of supervised persons with access
to client information. The Code also requires compliance with applicable securities laws, addresses
insider trading, and details possible disciplinary measures for violations. Wealth Management will
provide a complete copy of its Code of Ethics to any client upon request to the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trading Conflicts of Interest
Individuals associated with Wealth Management are permitted to buy or sell securities for their personal
accounts identical to or different than those recommended to clients. However, no person employed by
Wealth Management is allowed to favor his or her own interest over that of a client or make personal
investment decisions based on the investment decisions of advisory clients.
In order to address potential conflicts of interest, Wealth Management requires that associated persons
with access to advisory recommendations provide annual securities holdings reports and quarterly
transaction reports to the firm's Chief Compliance Officer. Wealth Management also requires prior
approval from the Chief Compliance Officer for investing in any IPOs or private placements (limited
offerings).
Item 12 - Brokerage Practices
Asset Management Services
Wealth Management delegates all trading responsibilities to sub-advisers and third party managers, and
generally recommends the use of the respective sub-adviser’s or third party manager’s preferred
custodian/brokerage firm. Sub-advisers and third-party managers used by Wealth Management are
required to seek the best combination of net price and execution when effecting brokerage transactions for
client accounts.
Wealth Management and our sub-advisers and third-party managers consider different factors in
determining whether to use a particular custodian or broker, and in analyzing overall execution quality.
Such factors may include but are not necessarily limited to quality of service, types of services offered,
overall capability, execution quality, competitiveness of transaction costs, availability of investment
research, reputation and stability of the firm and their financial resources among other things. In
determining the reasonableness of a broker’s compensation, we consider the overall cost to you relative to
the benefits you receive, both directly and indirectly, from the broker.
Our custodians/brokers provide us and our clients with access to institutional brokerage services like
trading, custody, reporting, and related services, many of which may not be typically available to retail
customers. Our custodians and brokers may also make available various investment research and other
support services, some of which may help us manage or administer our clients’ accounts, while others
may help us manage and grow our business.
10
The availability of these services from our custodians and brokers benefits us because we do not have to
produce or purchase them. Of course, this may give us an incentive to recommend that you maintain your
account with one of them based on our interests rather than yours, which is a potential conflict of interest.
We believe, however, that our selection of our custodians and our brokers is in the best interests of our
clients, and is primarily supported by the scope, quality, and price of their services that benefit you and
not the services that benefit only us.
Batch Trading
Client account transactions are typically completed independently for each account. Wealth Management
may, however, purchase or sell the same securities or instruments for a number of clients simultaneously.
When appropriate, orders for the same security may be combined or “batched” to facilitate best execution
and reduce brokerage commissions or other costs. Wealth Management affects batched transactions in a
manner designed to ensure that no participating client is favored over any other client.
Investment Consulting Services
When providing Investment Consulting services, Wealth Management and its IARs are not granted
discretion to select brokerage firms or to purchase and sell securities, although they may make
recommendations based on factors such as those listed above. The client actually selects the brokerage
firm to be used and also decides upon the investments to purchase or sell.
Retirement Plan Consulting Services
Wealth Management delegates all trading responsibilities to the custodian of the Plan’s assets and does
not engage in any trading activities.
Item 13 - Review of Accounts and Reports
Reports
Asset Management accounts receive a report of account transactions and positions at least quarterly from
the account custodian, and may also be provided with written performance analysis which detail portfolio
performance relative to market benchmarks. We urge our clients to carefully review custodial statements
when received and to compare them to reports received from us, our sub-advisers, or our third party
managers.
Reports to clients receiving Investment Counseling services are provided as frequently as agreed upon in
advance between Wealth Management and the client.
Reviews
Wealth Management IAR's continuously monitor Asset Management portfolios to identify situations that
may warrant either a more detailed review or specific action on behalf of a portfolio or client. In addition,
Wealth Management IAR’s review client portfolios quarterly and communicate with clients periodically
but economic conditions and a client’s situation may trigger more frequent reviews and communication.
Wealth Management also reviews sub-adviser and third party managers and reviews investment results on
a regular basis.
11
Wealth Management does not audit performance data provided to it by third parties.
Reviews for investment consulting relationships vary depending on the scope of the relationship, and are
determined contractually.
All asset management and consulting clients are advised that it remains their responsibility to advise
Wealth Management of any changes in their investment objectives and/or financial situation. All clients
are encouraged to comprehensively review financial issues (to the extent applicable), investment
objectives and account performance with Wealth Management on at least an annual basis, as applicable.
Clients may contact Wealth Management or their account's sub-adviser or third-party manager any time
they wish.
For retirement plan engagements, the custodian of the Plan’s assets will be responsible for providing to
Client, on at least a quarterly basis, statements of the assets in the Plan. Wealth Management may at its
discretion provide additional reports from time to time, which may include performance analysis, market
commentary, or other relevant information.
Item 14 - Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Wealth Management does not compensate any outside parties for client referrals nor does Wealth
Management receive economic benefits, sales awards, or prizes from non-clients related to advisory
services provided to clients.
Item 15 - Custody
As noted in Item 12, Wealth Management does not hold client funds or securities but instead requires that
they be held by a third party custodian. We may, however, have limited control in some instances to
trade on your behalf, to deduct our advisory fees from your account with your authorization, or to request
disbursements to you or other parties (although various types of written authorizations are required
depending on the type of disbursements).
You will receive account statements directly from your custodian at least quarterly, which will be sent to
the email or postal mailing address you provide. We urge you to carefully review these custodial
statements when you receive them and also compare them to reports you receive from us.
Item 16 - Investment Discretion
Wealth Management, its sub-advisers, and its third-party managers provide investment management
services to clients on a discretionary basis, pursuant to written authorization granted by those clients in
the services agreements. When granted authority to manage accounts, Wealth Management has discretion
to hire and terminate sub-advisers and third-party money managers who have the authority to determine
which securities and the amounts that are bought or sold. Any discretionary authority accepted by us
however is subject to the client’s risk profile and investment objectives, and may be limited by any other
limitations provided by the client in writing. For retirement plan engagements, Wealth Management may
accept discretion for selecting investment options to be made available to plan participants.
12
Wealth Management will not exercise any discretionary authority until it has been given authority to do
so in writing. Such authority is granted in the written agreement between Wealth Management and the
client, and in the written agreement with the third party custodian.
Item 17 - Voting Client Securities
Neither Wealth Management nor its IARs vote proxies on behalf of clients. However, clients may receive
proxy notices from their account's custodian, and Wealth Management may assist clients by answering
questions they may have regarding the nature of a proxy and voting procedures. Sub-advisors and third-
party mangers recommended by Wealth Management may, however, vote proxies. Please see the Form
ADV Part 2 Disclosure Brochure of the applicable sub-advisor or third party manager for their proxy
voting practices.
Wealth Management does not take any action regarding legal notices it or a client may receive from
issuers of securities held in a client's managed account. However, the firm is available to answer
questions regarding such notices. Please see the Form ADV Part 2 Disclosure Brochure of the applicable
sub-advisor or third-party manager for their practices related to such legal notices.
Item 18 - Financial Information
Registered investment advisers are required in some cases to provide certain financial information and or
disclosures about their financial condition. For example, if the firm requires prepayment of fees of more
than $1,200 per client for six months in advance, has custody of client funds, or has a condition that is
reasonably likely to impair its ability to meets it contractual commitments to its clients, it must provide
financial information and make disclosures.
Wealth Management does not require prepayment of fees of more than $1,200 for six months in advance
and has no other financial or operating conditions which trigger such additional reporting requirements.
