Connolly Financial Advisors is a Registered Investment Advisor in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. CFA may only transact business in those states in which it is registered, or qualifies for an exemption or exclusion from registration requirements. Currently, CFA is not registered in any additional states because the firm qualifies for a registration exemption in other states. In the event that a client from a state other than Massachusetts or Pennsylvania decides to utilize our services, CFA will confirm the applicability of the exemption or seek registration in the client’s home state.
The Securities and Exchange Commission and state regulators require all registered investment advisors to provide prospective clients with a disclosure document called the Form ADV Part 2. Consumers should always request the Form ADV Part 2 from any investment advisor they are serious about hiring. CFA’s disclosure document provides vital information about the firm’s business operations, services, investment philosophy, fees, and qualifications.
Connolly Financial Advisors, Inc. (“CFA”) is an investment adviser located and registered in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. CFA and its representatives are in compliance with the current registration filing requirements imposed upon state registered investment advisers.
CFA’s web site is limited to the dissemination of general information pertaining to its financial planning and investment management services, and the tax planning and preparation of Rosemarie Connolly, CPA. Accordingly, the publication of CFA’s web site on the Internet should not be construed by any consumer and/or prospective client as CFA’s solicitation to effect, or attempt to effect transactions in securities, or the rendering of personalized investment advice for compensation, over the Internet. Any subsequent, direct communication by CFA with a prospective client shall be conducted by a representative that is either registered or qualifies for an exemption or exclusion from registration in the state where the prospective client resides.

Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, such discussion may no longer be reflective of current position(s) and/or recommendation(s). Moreover, no client or prospective client should assume that any such discussion serves as a substitute for personalized advice from CFA or from any other investment professional.
