Client Relationship Summary

Ironwood Wealth Management, LLC – Form CRS

Ironwood Wealth Management, LLC (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment adviser. Our services and compensation structure differs from that of a registered broker-dealer. Free and simple tools are available to research firms and financial professionals at www.investor.gov/CRS. The site also provides educational materials about broker-dealers, investment advisers and investing. Information in text boxes below are intended to be conversation starters for you to have with us and are required by the instructions to Form CRS.

What investment services and advice can you provide me?

We have two primary services for retail investors, which include individuals and their trusts and estates. First, our Full Service Offering, includes ongoing portfolio management and financial planning services. We work with our clients to identify their investment goals, objectives and risk tolerance in order to create an initial portfolio allocation consistent with the client’s designated investment objectives. Once the appropriate portfolio has been determined, we will review the portfolio and rebalance the account based upon our client’s individual needs, stated goals and objectives. Our Foundations Program is more limited and has some restrictions that are not reflected in our Full Service Offering.

We generally provide our services on a discretionary basis, which means we have the authority to buy and sell investments in your account without speaking to you prior to doing so. You can place reasonable restrictions on the securities and types of securities that we buy by notifying us, in writing.

We do not limit the scope of the universe of securities that we use in managing client accounts, although we generally invest in mutual funds and exchange traded funds.

We generally require a minimum annual fee of $5,000 for our Full Service Offering and new clients in our Foundations Program are subject to a $500 establishment fee

For more detailed information about our Advisory Business and the Types of Clients we generally service, please See Items 4 and 7, respectively in our Form ADV Part 2A.

What fees will I pay?

Our fee is based on a percentage of your assets under our management, is equal to 1.0% for our Foundations Program and begins at the annual rate of 1.0% for our Full Service Program. In the Full Service Program, our annual fee rate decreases the more assets that you entrust to our management. We deduct our fee from one or more of your investment accounts on a quarterly basis, in advance, based upon the market value of assets under management as of the end of the previous quarter. Because our fee is based on the amount of your assets under our management, the more assets you entrust us to manage, the more you will pay us for our services. Therefore, we have an incentive to encourage you to increase the amount of assets that you entrust to us.

Your account will be held with a qualified custodian. Custodians generally charge transaction fees for effecting certain securities transactions. In addition, your assets will generally be invested in mutual funds and ETFs. You will bear your pro rata share of the investment management fees and other fees of these investments, which are in addition to the fees you pay us. These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus and potentially include a management fee, distribution fee, and other fund expenses. 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 investments over time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying.

Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my investments. If I give you $500,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs, and how much will be invested for me?

For more detailed information about our fees and costs related to our management of your account, please See Item 5 in our Form ADV Part 2A.

What are your legal obligations to me when acting as my investment adviser? How else does your firm make money and what conflicts of interest do you have?

When we act as your investment adviser, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest 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:

* We may recommend a particular custodian from whom we receive support services. This presents a conflict of interest, because our receipt of their support make us more inclined to continue using and recommending them.

* We may recommend rollovers out of employer-sponsored retirement plans and into Individual Retirement Accounts that we manage for an asset-based fee. If we don’t currently manage your account held with your employer’s plan, this will increase our compensation.

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

For more detailed information about our conflicts of interest, please review Item 4, 10, 11 and 12 of our Form ADV Part 2A.

How do your financial professionals make money?

Our financial professionals are generally compensated on a salary basis and may receive discretionary bonuses. In the event an employee earns a bonus, they are based on various factors. In addition, certain of our financial professionals are equity owners of the firm, in which case they stand to receive a share of the profits of the firm.

Do you or your financial professionals have legal or disciplinary history? No

No. We encourage you to visit www.Investor.gov/CRS to research our firm and our financial professionals. Furthermore, we encourage you to ask your financial professional: 

As a financial professional, do you have any disciplinary history? If so, for what type of conduct?
