The following paragraphs describe our services and fees. Please refer to the description of each
investment advisory service listed below for information on how we tailor our advisory services to your
individual needs. As used in this brochure, the words "we", "our" and "us" refer to Trio Advisors, Inc.
and the words "you", "your" and "client" refer to you as either a client or prospective client of our firm.
Portfolio Management Services
We offer discretionary portfolio management services. Our investment advice is tailored to meet our
clients' needs and investment objectives. If you retain our firm for portfolio management services, we
will meet with you to determine your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and other relevant
information at the beginning of our advisory relationship. We will use the information we gather to
develop a strategy that enables our firm to give you continuous and focused investment advice and/or
to make investments on your behalf. As part of our portfolio management services, we will customize
an investment portfolio for you according to your risk tolerance and investing objectives. We may also
invest your assets using a predefined strategy. Once we construct an investment portfolio for you, we
will monitor your portfolio's performance on an ongoing basis, and will rebalance the portfolio as
required by changes in market conditions and in your financial circumstances.
We only offer discretionary portfolio management services and require you to grant our firm
discretionary authority to manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow us to determine
the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold for your account without
your approval prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority is typically granted by the investment
advisory agreement you sign with our firm and the appropriate trading authorization forms. You may
limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities that can be purchased or
sold for your account) by providing our firm with your restrictions and guidelines in writing.
Wrap Fee
Program(s)
We are not a portfolio manager to nor sponsor of any wrap fee programs.
Types of Investments
We primarily offer advice on equity securities ("stocks") and corporate debt securities
("bonds"). Additionally, we may advise you on any type of investment that we deem appropriate based
on your stated goals and objectives. We may also provide advice on any type of investment held in
your portfolio at the inception of our advisory relationship.
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.
IRA Rollover Recommendations
Effective December 20, 2021 (or such later date as the US Department of Labor ("DOL") Field
Assistance Bulletin 2018-02 ceases to be in effect), for purposes of complying with the DOL's
Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 ("PTE 2020-02") where applicable, we are providing the
following acknowledgment to you. When we provide investment advice to you regarding your
retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable,
4
which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with
your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not
put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule's provisions, we must:
•Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
•Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
•Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees and investments;
•Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
•Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
•Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
We benefit financially from the rollover of your assets from a retirement account to an account that we
manage or provide investment advice, because the assets increase our assets under management
and, in turn, our advisory fees. As a fiduciary, we only recommend a rollover when we believe it is in
your best interest.
