About

DMLO Wealth Planning serves individuals, high-net-worth clients, trusts, estates, businesses, and retirement plans with discretionary investment management, financial planning, and retirement-plan advisory services. The brochure describes ongoing portfolio construction and monitoring as well as one-off financial planning engagements that may include written plans or consultations.

The firm’s investment approach is customized and primarily long-term, using diversified mutual funds, ETFs, individual stocks and bonds, and both fundamental and technical analysis; DMLO may also retain legacy holdings for tax or portfolio-fit reasons. DMLO may allocate client assets to other managers and performs initial and ongoing oversight of those managers, including recommending an affiliated sub-adviser in some cases and disclosing related conflicts of interest.

Noteworthy in the brochure is DMLO’s ownership and affiliation structure: it is partially owned by an accounting firm (Deming, Malone, Livesay & Ostroff, P.S.C.) and has ownership ties to Guidance Consulting as well as affiliated registered advisers Guidance Capital and Dynamic Market Advantage, LLC, which it may recommend for client sub-advisory services. The brochure also discloses that the firm advertises hypothetical and performance results and describes retirement-plan education services (including participant enrollment and education tracking), and the firm’s current scale — five advisors serving 43 clients with about $30.4 million in AUM — is apparent from the disclosures.
