Advisory Services Offered
Virtus Wealth provides fee-based investment advisory services primarily to individuals, high-net worth
individuals, families, trusts, and estates (each a “Client”). Services are also available to businesses and financial
institutions. Accounts are managed based on the individual goals, objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of
each Client with a focus on retirement goals.
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a
fiduciary, the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to
mitigate potential conflicts of interest. Virtus Wealth's fiduciary commitment is further described in the
Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of
Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Investments are managed on a non-discretionary basis where the Client must approve verbally or in writing
each trade, prior to execution. The Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types
of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Advisor.
Investment strategies and recommendations are tailored to the individual needs of each Client but consist of an
asset allocation consistent with:
• Income with Capital Preservation. Designed as a longer-term accumulation account, this investment
objective is considered generally the most conservative. Emphasis is placed on generation of current
income with minimal risk of capital loss. Lowering the risk potentially means lowering the potential
income and overall return.
• Income with Moderate Growth. This investment objective emphasizes generation of current income
with a secondary focus on moderate capital growth.
• Growth with Income. This investment objective emphasizes modest capital growth with some focus on
generation of current income.
• Growth. This investment objective emphasizes achieving high long-term growth and capital
appreciation.
• Aggressive Growth. This investment objective emphasizes aggressive growth and maximum capital
appreciation, with no focus on generation of current income. This objective has an extremely high level
of risk and is for investors with a longer timer horizon.
Investment Management Services are provided by selecting an investment platform managed by a Third-Party
Asset Management Programs (“TAMP” or “Investment Platform”) also known as a Turn-Key Asset
Management Program. More specifically, Virtus Wealth will determine the Investment Platform and establish
one or more accounts based on the Client’s financial situation and investment objectives; provide Investment
Platform disclosure and marketing materials and, explain the operation and structure of the Investment
Platform. Once the appropriate Investment Platform has been determined, it is continuously and regularly
monitored, and if necessary, rebalanced based upon the Client’s individual needs, stated goals and objectives.
Where appropriate, the Advisor provides advice about any type of legacy position held in the Client’s
investment portfolio.
At no time, will Virtus Wealth accept or maintain physical custody of a Client’s funds or securities. All Client
assets will be managed within their designated brokerage account, pursuant to the Client investment advisory
agreement on a non-discretionary basis.
• Investment advice is not limited to certain investment types.
• There is no minimum amount required to open or maintain an account.
• Advisory services are tailored to the individual need of each Client.
Selected Manager[s] in the Investment Platform will implement their
respective investment stratregy[ies],
including discretionary investment management, including trading, rebalancing, and/or and updates, in line with
the Manager’s investment philosophy.
Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Virtus Wealth to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into an
investment advisory agreement with Virtus Wealth that defines the terms, conditions, authority, and
responsibilities of each party.
Conflicts of Interest
As a fiduciary, Virtus Wealth Management seeks to avoid conflicts of interest or at a minimum, make full
disclosure to provide sufficiently specific facts for Clients to understand and appreciate the risk[s] associated
with a conflict of interest. The goal is to allow Clients to provide informed consent when they decide to engage
Virtus Wealth for services. Clients are encouraged to consider and ask questions about the select conflicts of
interest listed below.
Insurance Products
Investment Advisor Representatives of Virtus Wealth Management are also licensed insurance agents.
In an Investment Advisor Representative’s separate capacity as an insurance agent, the Investment
Advisor Representative recommends and sells insurance products to Clients. Not every Client is offered
insurance products. The implementation of such insurance products will result in commission
compensation from the insurance product or provider. Prior to purchasing or replacing an insurance
product, a Client’s current holdings will be evaluated. Clients are under no obligation to purchase
insurance products through an Investment Advisor Representative of the Advisor. Please also see Item
10 below.
Virtus Wealth, the Advisor, does not receive commission compensation for the sale of insurance
products; however, Investment Advisor Representatives of Virtus Wealth, in their individual capacity as
an insurance agent, do receive commission compensation.
• Advisory fees are not charged on funds used to purchase insurance products.
• Advisory fees are not reduced due to compensation received by individual insurance agents.
• The receipt of commissions provides an incentive to purchase insurance products.
• Advisory fees are not reduced due to commission compensation received.
Money Managers and Product Sponsors
Investment Advisor Representatives will, on occasion, have an opportunity to attend a training event or
participate in a due diligence visit where the Money Manager or Product Sponsor will usually cover the
associated travel expenses such as airfare, hotel and meals. Training opportunities are often held at
luxury resorts where amenities such as golf, spas and entertainment are provided. Such accommodations
represent a conflict of interest that can influence the evaluation of the Money Manager or Product
sponsor based on factors other than the quality of services.
Additional Compensation
Virtus Wealth Management can receive an economic benefit for providing advisory services from
sources other than the Client. Economic benefits include sales awards and gifts, an occasional meal, as
well as entertainment such as a concert, show or sporting event. Such compensation is not directly
related to the advice or services provided to a particular Client, but it does create a conflict of interest
that can influence the selection of services based on the compensation received.
Industry Professionals
When it is in the best interests of the Client, Virtus Wealth can introduce the services of other
professionals for certain non-investment purposes (i.e., attorneys and accountants). Introductions
represent a conflict of interest because they create a relationship where the other professional has an
implied obligation to introduce potential new Clients to Virtus Wealth. Virtus Wealth does not receive a
commission or share in any revenue with these parties. Clients are under no obligation to engage the
services of any such professional. If the Client engages any such professional, and a dispute arises, any
recourse will be exclusively from and against the engaged professional.
Conflicts of interest are mitigated by the fiduciary duty to always act in a Client’s best interest and acting
accordingly. Virtus Wealth Management will seek independent counsel to evaluate conflicts as they arise and
provide sufficient disclosure and controls which may include declining to participate or proceed with an
engagement. Andrew Hall, the Chief Compliance Office, is available to discuss any concerns that exist due to a
conflict of interest. Mr. Hall can be reached at (314) 395-6133or
[email protected].

Retirement Plan Rollovers
An employee generally has four (4) options for their retirement plan when they leave an employer:
1. Leave the money in his/her former employer’s plan, if permitted
2. Rollover the assets to his/her new employer’s plan if one is available and permitted
3. Rollover to an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”), or
4. Cash out the account value, which has significant tax considerations
Virtus Wealth has an incentive to recommend such a rollover based on the compensation received, which is
mitigated by the fiduciary duty to act in a Client’s best interest and acting accordingly.
