A. Allegiance Financial Group Advisory Services LLC (“Adviser”) is an investment adviser founded in
2021, registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and is principally
owned by Assaf Pinchas, Shawn Williamson, and Charles Cooke.
B. Adviser offers the following types of tailored advisory services:
i. Investment Management: Adviser provides ongoing discretionary and non-discretionary
investment management services to its clients based upon each client’s current financial
condition, goals, risk tolerance, income, liquidity requirements, investment time horizon,
and other information that is relevant to the management of clients’ account(s). This
information will then be used to make investment decisions and recommendations that
reflect clients’ individual needs and objectives on an initial and ongoing basis. Adviser’s
recommendations will allocate portions of clients’ account(s) to various asset classes. For
non-discretionary accounts, Adviser will review all such recommendations with clients,
and clients will have the opportunity to accept or reject any recommendations. Clients
with non-discretionary accounts are under no obligation to accept or implement any
recommendation made by Adviser. For discretionary accounts, Adviser will retain the
discretion to buy, sell, or otherwise transact in securities and other investments in a
client’s accounts without first receiving the Client’s specific approval for each transaction.
Such discretionary authority is granted by a client in his or her investment management
agreement with Adviser. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities
or types of securities so long as such restrictions may reasonably be implemented by
Adviser.
ii. Third-Party Investment Advisers : Adviser’s discretionary authority explicitly includes the
authority to retain one or more independent and unaffiliated third-party investment
advisers to manage and execute the day-to-day implementation of Adviser’s investment
management decisions (a “Third-Party Adviser”). Alternatively, Adviser may recommend
the retention of a Third-Party Adviser, and client may accept or reject such
recommendation as it deems fit. The Third-Party Adviser may be retained on Client’s
behalf or on Adviser’s behalf for so long as Adviser and/or the client deems fit, but in
either case the Third-Party Adviser will be disclosed to the client in writing in advance of
such retention. Depending on the Third-Party Adviser’s requirements and the negotiated
agreement between the Third-Party Adviser and Adviser, the client may be asked to sign
a separate agreement with such Third-Party Adviser.
iii. Financial Planning: In connection with its investment management services, Adviser also
provides holistic financial planning services that can take the form of (a) the preparation
and delivery of a one-time financial plan, or (b) ongoing financial planning
recommendations and assistance with the implementation of such recommendations.
Depending on the particular needs of a client, financial planning services may include
topics such as retirement planning, education savings, cash flow management, debt
reduction, employee benefits analyses, estate planning, insurance analyses, risk
mitigation, tax planning, financial goal tracking, and/or business planning. Clients are free
to accept or reject Adviser’s financial planning recommendations in their sole discretion,
and are under no obligation to implement Adviser’s financial planning recommendations
through Adviser or any of its personnel.
iv. Retirement Plan Consulting: Adviser provides ongoing retirement plan consulting
services to employer plans that are typically qualified under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), and will assist 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 advice could include: investment
policy statement development, implementation and monitoring, analysis of investment
options, plan structure and participant education, cost structure, risk analysis and
performance measurement. When appropriate for a particular plan, Adviser may also
recommend the retention of an independent and unaffiliated third-party retirement plan
consultant to serve as a 3(21) or 3(38) fiduciary with respect to the plan.
C. Adviser does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
D. As of December 2023, Allegiance Financial Group Advisory Services LLC’s total assets under
management (AUM) were approximately $327,005,844 on a discretionary basis and $91,748,760
on a non-discretionary basis.
