Advisory Services
Our Services
LEVO provides investment advisory services to high net worth individuals, small
businesses, and corporations through an online interactive website (the “Platform”)
sponsored and maintained by Levo Financial, Inc. This entails the use of algorithm-based
portfolio management advice, rather than in-person investment advice.
LEVO provides investment advisory services on a continuous basis and in
accordance with the investment objectives and risk tolerance provided by the client.
LEVO requests information on a client’s financial situation, level of financial
sophistication, investment experience, and financial goals in order to provide
personalized investment advice. LEVO permits clients to modify their portfolio selection
after a recommendation based on the results of the risk questionnaire is provided. These
portfolios will typically be comprised of exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) with exposure to
fixed-income securities. LEVO will acknowledge to a client when a LEVO account is not
in the client’s best interest.
LEVO provides portfolio management services to Platform clients under a wrap
fee program (“Wrap Program”) as a sponsor and portfolio manager. Under LEVO’s Wrap
Program, the client receives advisory and brokerage execution services, account
reporting, and custodial services, for
an all-inclusive fee. Once the appropriate portfolio
has been determined by LEVO’s proprietary algorithm and selected or customized by the
client, LEVO monitors the investments regularly, conducts account reviews periodically,
and will consider an appropriate rebalance of a portfolio as necessary, based on the
client’s deposits/withdrawals and investment appreciation/depreciation.
Client assets in the Wrap Program managed by LEVO are held in accounts at a
registered broker/dealer and qualified custodian, who will provide clearing, custody and
other brokerage services for client brokerage accounts. Each client is ultimately
responsible for providing all of the necessary information to establish their own account.
Additional information about the wrap fee program can be found in Part 2A, Appendix 1
(the “Wrap Fee Program Brochure”), which can be requested free of charge by calling
(801) 441-7772. LEVO manages wrap fee accounts by managing portfolios of fixed-

income ETFs designed to adhere to the client’s specific risk tolerance. Platform clients’
portfolios are managed and maintained by an algorithm.
As further described in the Wrap Fee Program Brochure, LEVO receives a portion
of the wrap fee for its services. More about our firm’s investment strategies and the risks
involved can be found under Item 8 of this brochure.
