Our business model includes a network of investment adviser representatives with offices located in numerous states

and cities. These investment adviser representatives offer our services to clients and prospective clients. Certain
investment adviser representatives are independent contractors of WealthShield Partners, LLC, and they operate
under an alternate business name or “DBA”. As such, marketing materials provided to clients and prospective clients
may include the DBA name or logo associated with the DBA name of the investment adviser representative or group of
investment adviser representatives that service the relevant clients. WealthShield Partners, LLC continues to review such
marketing materials. In your advisory agreement, you will acknowledge that your accounts will be serviced by
WealthShield Partners, LLC. We supervise our investment adviser representatives with respect to the advisory services
they provide to clients. Our current DBAs include Golden Pine Advisory, Madison Oaks Wealth Partners, Harborview
Advisors, and Harborview Investments.

Types of Advisory Services We Offer
Asset Management:
We offer discretionary and non-discretionary asset management services. Our investment advice is tailored to meet
your needs and investment objectives. If you retain our firm for these services, you will provide us with information
regarding your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and other relevant information at the beginning of our
advisory relationship. We will use this information to help develop a strategy that enables us to give you continuous
and focused investment advice and/or to make investments on your behalf.
If you participate in our discretionary asset management services, we require you to grant our firm discretionary
authority to manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow our firm without further authorization from
you to, among other things, purchase and sell securities for your account, select and retain sub-advisers and/or
money managers and platforms, and act on your behalf in all matters necessary or incidental to the management of
your account, including the monitoring of assets and use of third-party services. Discretionary authority is typically
granted by the portfolio management agreement you sign with our firm, a limited power of attorney, or trading
authorization forms. You may limit our discretionary authority by providing our firm with your restrictions and
guidelines in writing (for example, limiting the types of securities that can be purchased for your account).
We also offer non-discretionary asset management services. In such cases, we will review the accounts on a periodic
basis (at least annually) and make recommendations to you. With respect to non- discretionary accounts, you retain
the authority to implement any recommendation. For non- discretionary accounts, we will obtain your approval prior
to executing any transactions.
Financial Planning & Consulting:
We provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to individuals, families, institutions, and other
clients regarding the management of their financial resources. These services are based upon an analysis of the
client's current situation, goals, and objectives as determined by information received from the client.
Generally, such financial planning services will involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial
consultation for clients based on the client's financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may
encompass one or more of the following areas: Investment Planning, Retirement Planning, Estate Planning,
Charitable Planning, Education Planning, Corporate and Personal Tax Planning, Cost Segregation Study, Corporate
Structure, Real Estate Analysis, Mortgage/Debt Analysis, Insurance Analysis, Lines of Credit
Evaluation, and/or
Business and Personal Financial Planning.
Our written financial plans or financial consultations rendered to clients usually include general recommendations for
a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the clients. For example, recommendations may be made that
the clients begin or revise investment programs, create or revise wills or trusts, obtain or revise insurance coverage,
commence or alter retirement savings, or establish education or charitable giving programs. If requested by a client,
we may recommend the engagement of an accountant, attorney, or other specialist as necessary for non-advisory
related services. Such client is under no obligation to engage the services of any such recommended professional.
The client retains absolute discretion over all such implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject any
recommendation from us. If the client engages a recommended professional, and a dispute arises thereafter
relative to such engagement, the client agrees to seek recourse exclusively from and against the engaged
professional.
For written financial planning engagements, we provide our clients with a written summary of the client’s financial
situation, observations, and recommendations.
Plans or consultations are typically delivered within six (6) months of the client signing a financial planning contract
with us, assuming that all the information and documents we request from the client are provided to us promptly.
Implementation of any recommendation provided through our financial planning and consulting services will be at
the sole discretion of the client.
Retirement and Pension Consulting:
We provide retirement and pension consulting services to employer plan sponsors and plan participants on a one-
time or ongoing basis. Generally, such consulting services consist of assisting employer plan sponsors and
participants in establishing, monitoring, and reviewing their defined benefit or participant- directed retirement
plans. As the needs of the clients dictate, areas of advising could include: Investment Options, Plan Structure and
Participant Education, 401(k) advice, and Custom Investment Models.
All pension consulting services shall be in compliance with the applicable federal and state law(s) regulating pension
consulting services. This applies to client accounts that are pension or other employee benefit plans ("Plan")
governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). If the client accounts are
part of a Plan, and we accept appointments to provide our services to such accounts, we acknowledge that we are
a fiduciary within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA (but only with respect to the provision of services described
in the Pension Consulting Agreement).
Pursuant to adopted regulations of the U.S. Department of Labor, we are required to provide the Plan's responsible
plan fiduciary (the person who has the authority to engage us as an investment adviser to the Plan) with a written
statement of the services we provide to the Plan, the compensation we receive for providing those services, and our
status.
The services we provide to a Plan are specifically described in a separate 408(b)(2) written disclosure document
that we will provide to you or is contained in the advisory agreement. Our compensation for these services is
described below, at Item 5, in the advisory agreement and/or the 408(b)(2) written disclosure document.
In providing services to a Plan and investment advice to Participants, our status is that of an investment adviser
registered under the Advisers Act, and we are not subject to any disqualifications under Section 411 of ERISA.
Tailoring of Advisory Services
We offer individualized investment advice to clients utilizing our asset management services as well as our financial
planning and consulting services.
Participation in Wrap Fee Programs
We act as portfolio manager for and sponsor of a wrap fee program, which is an investment program where the
client pays one stated fee that includes management fees and transaction costs. However, this brochure describes
our non-wrap fee advisory services; clients utilizing our wrap fee portfolio management should refer to the
separate Wrap Fee Program Brochure. Fees paid under the wrap fee program will be given to WSP as a
management fee. Please also see Item 5 and Item 12 of this brochure.
Types of Investments
We generally do not limit investment advice to certain investment types.
You may request that we refrain from investing in particular securities or certain types of securities. You must
provide these restrictions to our firm in writing. Restrictions on investments in certain securities or types of securities
may not be possible due to the level of difficulty and costs this would entail in managing the account.
Regulatory Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2023, we provide continuous management services for $916,684,308 in client assets on a
discretionary basis, and $1,207,411 in client assets on a non-discretionary basis.
