04

Advisory Business

Golden Way Advisors, LLC provides investment advisory services to individuals, families, and related entities. Services may include asset allocation advice, portfolio management, financial goal discussions, and ongoing consulting.

Our recommendations may consider a client’s investment objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, tax profile, and other information provided by the client.

Specific services, limitations, fees, and termination provisions are governed by the client’s Investment Advisory Agreement.
05

Fees and Compensation

We generally charge advisory fees as described in the advisory agreement. Fees may be based on assets under management, service scope, or another written arrangement.

Clients may also incur fees charged by custodians, funds, brokers, or third-party service providers. These fees are generally not paid to us.

  • Fee arrangements are disclosed in writing before a client relationship begins.
  • Our personnel do not directly receive transaction commissions for client purchases or sales of specific securities unless otherwise disclosed in the formal ADV document.
Specific fee schedules, billing frequency, deduction methods, and refund terms are governed by the Investment Advisory Agreement.
06

Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management

We generally do not charge fees based on capital gains or investment performance.

We do not manage accounts in a side-by-side arrangement where some accounts pay performance fees and others do not.

07

Types of Clients

Our clients may include individuals, high net worth individuals, families, trusts, retirement accounts, businesses, and other legal entities.

We may decide whether to accept or maintain a client relationship based on service model, account size, investment objectives, compliance requirements, or operational capacity.

08

Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss

We may use asset allocation, fundamental research, macroeconomic analysis, fund and securities screening, and risk tolerance assessment when developing investment recommendations.

Investing involves risk, and clients may lose principal. Market, interest rate, credit, liquidity, currency, concentration, tax, and regulatory risks may affect investment results.

  • Past performance does not guarantee future results.
  • Diversification and asset allocation do not assure profits and do not fully protect against losses.
  • Clients should promptly inform us of material changes to financial circumstances, objectives, or restrictions.
Specific investment strategies, restrictions, and client authorizations are governed by the Investment Advisory Agreement.
09

Disciplinary Information

As of the updated date of this summary, we have no material disciplinary information required to be reported in Form ADV Part 2A.

Clients may review the firm's public registration record through the SEC's IAPD website.

10

Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations

We are affiliated with Golden Way Financial Group / Jiacheng U.S. Tax and Accounting. Affiliated entities may provide tax, accounting, insurance, business consulting, or other non-advisory services.

Affiliations may create conflicts of interest, including when clients are introduced to an affiliate or receive multiple services. We disclose applicable conflicts and clients decide whether to use any affiliated service.

11

Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading

We maintain a code of ethics requiring supervised persons to place client interests first, comply with applicable securities laws, and avoid misuse of material nonpublic information.

Our personnel may buy or sell the same or similar securities for their own accounts. We manage potential conflicts through personal trading reports, pre-clearance, or other compliance procedures.

12

Brokerage Practices

Client assets are generally held by an independent qualified custodian, and trade execution may occur through a broker selected by the client or recommended by us.

When recommending a broker or platform, we may consider execution quality, service, technology, fees, research support, and client needs.

  • The lowest transaction cost is not always the only consideration.
  • Clients should review statements and confirmations provided by custodians and brokers.
13

Review of Accounts

We review client accounts or financial circumstances on a periodic or event-driven basis according to the service arrangement.

Review triggers may include market changes, client cash flows, changes in objectives, tax matters, rebalancing needs, or questions raised by the client.

14

Client Referrals and Other Compensation

We may enter into client referral or introduction arrangements with solicitors, affiliates, or third parties. Any cash or non-cash compensation arrangement will be disclosed as required by applicable rules.

Clients are not obligated to engage us or any affiliate because of a referral relationship.

15

Custody

Client assets are generally held by an independent qualified custodian. We may be deemed to have limited custody because of fee deduction authority or other arrangements.

Clients should receive and review account statements directly from the custodian. If our reports differ from custodian records, custodian records should control and clients should contact us promptly.

16

Investment Discretion

When authorized in writing by the client, we may have discretionary authority over client accounts, including authority to select securities, transaction amounts, and timing within the authorized scope.

Clients may impose reasonable restrictions in the advisory agreement or written instructions, such as prohibiting specific securities, industries, or transaction types.

17

Voting Client Securities

Unless otherwise agreed in a formal agreement, we generally do not vote proxies on behalf of clients.

Clients typically receive voting materials directly from issuers, custodians, or proxy service providers and decide how to vote.

18

Financial Information

We do not require or solicit material prepaid fees that require disclosure under Form ADV Part 2A, and we have not disclosed financial conditions reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet client commitments.

We have not disclosed bankruptcy or similar financial events required to be reported under this item.
