Disclosures are events reported to regulators, such as customer disputes, regulatory actions, employment separations, or financial events. Some are resolved, denied, or contested — a disclosure is not a verdict. We recommend asking an advisor directly about any disclosure on their record.

Disclosures on record.

Disclosures can be potential red flags, including customer disputes, regulatory fines, employer terminations, bankruptcies, judgments, liens, or certain criminal activities. Check for any disclosures as part of your thorough research when choosing an advisor.

CREATIVE PLANNING — Registered Investment Advisory firm

Version Date: Fri, Mar 29, 2024

Creative Planning, LLC is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment adviser. Brokerage and investment advisory services and fees differ and it is important for you to understand these differences.

There are free and user-friendly tools available to research firms and financial professionals at Investor.gov/CRS, which also provides educational materials about broker-dealers, investment advisers, and investing.

We offer investment advisory services to retail clients. We typically utilize bonds, equities, ETFs, mutual funds, and alternative investments to build diversified portfolios for each client. We offer portfolio management, retirement planning, financial planning, and sub-advisory services. We monitor client portfolios on an ongoing basis and make adjustments consistent with their investment objectives and goals. We do not make adjustments based on market timing or hunches but will periodically rebalance or tax loss harvest when necessary.

For discretionary accounts, the client gives us the authority to make trades when we feel it is appropriate, without consulting the client in advance. For non-discretionary accounts, the client must give usspecific approval before we make any trades. Non-discretionary accounts limit our ability to proactively manage the account, especially in times of market volatility. The client agreement will specify the type of account the client has with us. We generally require a minimum account size of $100,000.

For additional information, please see Items 4, 7, 8, and 13 of our Disclosure Brochure (Form ADV Part 2A).


Questions to ask your Professional:

  • Given my financial situation, should I choose an investment advisory service? Why or why not?
  • How will you choose investments to recommend to me?
  • What is your relevant experience, including your licenses, education and other qualifications?
  • What do those qualifications mean?

Our fees are based on a percentage of client assets that we manage and do not vary based on investment type. We typically deduct fees from clients’ investment accounts each quarter in arrears. The more assets you have in the account, including cash and margin, the more you will pay us, therefore we have an incentive to encourage you to increase the assets in your account in order to increase our fees. We charge our fee even if we do not buy or sell assets in your account, or if your account is profitable or not.

You will have additional fees or costs in addition to our management fee for certain investments listed below.

  • Some investments, such as mutual funds and exchange traded funds, impose additional fees that will reduce the value of your investment over time.

  • Assets managed by a sub-advisor are subject to the subadvisor’s management fee as well as our fee.

  • For certain investments, you will pay a transaction fee. You will also pay fees to an unaffiliated custodian (such as TD Ameritrade, Charles Schwab, or Fidelity) that will hold your assets (called “custody”). We do not receive any portion of these fees.

You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments. Fees and costs will reduce any amount of money you make on your investment over time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying. For additional information, please see Item 5 of our Form ADV Part 2A.


Questions to ask your Professional:

  • Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my investments. If I give you $10,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs, and how much will be invested for me?

When we act as your investment adviser, we are required to act in your best interest and not put our interests ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the investment advice we provide you. Here are some examples to help you understand what this means:

  • Retirement Plan Rollovers to an IRA - our advisory fees may be higher than your retirement plan fee

  • Margin – margin increases the account size subject to our advisory fee

  • Referrals to or from our related entities: comparable services may be available elsewhere for less cost

  • Benefits received from our custodians

For additional information about our conflicts of interest, please see Items 10, 12, & 14 of our Form ADV Part 2A.


Questions to ask your Professional:

  • How might your conflicts of interest affect me, and how will you address them?

Our financial professionals are paid a salary however our employees are eligible for awards based on the firm’s performance. We have implemented a partnership program which qualifying employees are granted and/or may purchase partnership units based on length of service to the firm and performance. Employees also receive compensation for certain client referrals. A conflict of interest exists where an employee could be motivated to increase assets at the firm regardless of the client’s best interest, however, we are required to always act as a fiduciary when working with our clients. For additional information, please see Item 14 of ourForm ADV Part 2A.
