Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
626 Financial, LLC (“626 Financial” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) under the
laws of the State of Michigan. 626 Financial was founded in October 2010 and became a registered investment
advisor in January 2021. 626 Financial is owned and operated by Thomas W. Anderton (Managing Director and
Chief Compliance Officer) and Brant Shrimplin (Managing Director). This Disclosure Brochure provides
information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by 626 Financial.
B. Advisory Services Offered
626 Financial offers wealth management services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, trusts, estates,
businesses, and retirement plans (each referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary,
the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith toward each Client and seeks to mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. 626 Financials’ fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For
more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in
Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Investment Management Services
626 Financial provides customized wealth management services for its Clients. This is achieved through
continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management, financial
planning, and related advisory services. 626 Financial works closely with each Client to identify their investment
goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. 626
Financial will then construct an investment portfolio consisting of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), diversified
mutual funds, individual stocks, and/or individual bonds to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may
also utilize options, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), and alternative investments (including limited
partnerships), as appropriate, to meet the needs of the Client. The Advisor may retain other types of investments
from the Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons
as identified between the Advisor and the Client.
626 Financial’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell, or re-allocate
positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market
conditions. 626 Financial will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals,
objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to
place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to
acceptance by the Advisor.
626 Financial evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal
due diligence process. 626 Financial may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to
diversify the portfolio. 626 Financial may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class
weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market
movement. 626 Financial may recommend selling positions for reasons that include but are not limited to
harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities,
overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, changes in risk tolerance of the Client, generating
cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
Use of Independent Managers - 626 Financial may recommend to Clients that all or a portion of their investment
portfolio be implemented by utilizing one or more unaffiliated money managers or investment platforms
(collectively “Independent Managers”). Independent Managers may be sourced directly or accessed through an
investment management platform. The Client will be required to enter into a separate agreement with the
Independent Manager[s]. 626 Financial serves as the Client’s primary advisor and relationship manager. However,
the Independent Manager[s] will assume discretionary authority for the day-to-day investment management of
those assets placed in their control. 626 Financial will assist and advise the Client in establishing investment
objectives for their account[s], the selection of the Independent Manager[s], and defining any restrictions on the
account[s]. 626 Financial will continue to provide oversight of the Client’s account[s] and ongoing monitoring of
626 Financial, LLC
7950 Moorsbridge Road, Suite 104, Portage, MI 49024
Page 4
Phone: (269) 321-5040 | Fax: (269) 585-6059
www.626financial.com
the activities of these Independent Managers. The Independent Manager[s] will implement the selected
investment strategies based on their investment mandates. The Client may be able to impose reasonable
investment restrictions on these accounts, subject to the acceptance of these third parties. The Client, prior to
entering into an agreement with an Independent Manager, will be provided with the Form ADV Part 2A (or a
brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures) of those parties. 626 Financial does not receive any
compensation from these Independent Managers or Investment Platforms, other than 626 Financial’s investment
advisory fee as described in Item 5 below.
626 Financial may also provide advisory services through certain programs sponsored by LPL Financial LLC
(“LPL Financial”), a registered investment advisor and broker-dealer. Below is a brief description of each LPL
advisory program presently used by 626 Financial. For more information regarding the LPL programs, including
more information on the advisory services and fees that apply, the types of investments available in the programs
and the conflicts of interest presented by the programs please see the program account packet (which includes
the account agreement and LPL Form ADV program brochure) and the Form ADV, Part 2A of LPL or the applicable
program.
Manager Access Select Program (MAS) – Manager Access Select provides clients access to the
investment advisory services of professional portfolio management firms for the individual management
of Client accounts. The Advisor will assist the Client in identifying a third-party portfolio manager (Portfolio
Manager) from a list of Portfolio Managers made available by LPL Financial. The Portfolio Manager
manages Client’s assets on a discretionary basis. The Advisor will provide initial and ongoing assistance
regarding the Portfolio Manager selection process. A minimum account value of $100,000 is required for
Manager Access Select, however, in certain instances, the minimum account size may be lower or higher.
At no time will 626 Financial accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited
authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at
the Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement
accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will
provide investment advice to the Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over
the assets to an IRA or recommend a similar transaction, including rollovers from one ERISA-sponsored Plan to
another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g., commission-based account
to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor earns a new (or
increases its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a
retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
Financial Planning Services
626 Financial will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients as part of an
overall wealth management engagement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation,
depending on their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal
financial plan or rendering a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives.
This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to investment
planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance needs, and other areas of a Client’s
financial situation.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, and establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.
626 Financial may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney, or other specialists as appropriate for their unique
situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s
financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may
not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of the contract
date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.

www.626financial.com
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor
for investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would
increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any
recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects
to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the
transaction through the Advisor.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
626 Financial provides retirement plan advisory services on behalf of company retirement plans (each a “Plan”)
and the company (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the
Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Each engagement is
customized to the needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services generally include:
Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
Investment Oversight Services (ERISA 3(21))
• Vendor Analysis
• Plan Participant Enrollment and Education
•
•
• Performance Reporting
• Ongoing Investment Recommendations and Assistance
• ERISA 404(c) Assistance
• Benchmarking Services
These services are provided by 626 Financial serving in the capacity of a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2), the Plan
Sponsor is provided with a written description of 626 Financial’s fiduciary status, the specific services to be
rendered, and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging 626 Financial to provide wealth management services, each Client is required to enter into one
or more agreements with the Advisor that defines the terms, conditions, authority, and responsibilities of the
Advisor and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – 626 Financial, in connection with the Client, develops a strategy
that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – 626 Financial will develop a strategic asset allocation targeted to meet the investment
objectives, time horizon, financial situation, and tolerance of risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – 626 Financial will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the
stated goals and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – 626 Financial will provide investment management and
ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
626 Financial includes, in addition to securities transaction fees, custody fees, and commission fees (herein
“Covered Costs”) together with investment advisory fees. Including these fees into a single, asset-based fee is
considered a “Wrap Fee Program.” 626 Financial customizes its investment management services for Clients.
The Advisor sponsors the 626 Financial Wrap Fee Program solely as a supplement disclosure regarding the
combination of fees. Depending on the level of trading required for the Client’s account[s] in a particular year, the
Client may pay more or less in total fees than if the Client paid its own transaction fees. Please see Appendix 1 –
Wrap Fee Program Brochure, which is always included as a supplement with this Disclosure Brochure.
626 Financial is the program sponsor and portfolio manager of accounts within LPL Financial’s SWM II platform.
The MAS Programs offered by LPL Financial are third-party wrap fee programs. A complete description of these
programs and related fees, charges, when due and termination procedures are described in the respective

managers disclosure brochures, which you receive at or prior to the time a third-party managed account is
established.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, the Advisor manages $379,600,318 in Client assets, $376,538,034 of which are
managed on a discretionary basis and $3,062,284 on a non-discretionary basis. Clients may request more current
information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into one or
more written agreements with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the
wealth management agreement. Wealth management fees are based on the market value of assets under
management at the end of the prior quarter. Wealth management fees range from 0.60% to 1.25% annually based
on several factors, including the level of assets to be managed, the complexity of the services provided, and the
overall relationship with the Advisor. Clients may be offered a fixed annual rate or a tiered fee schedule within this
range.
Use of Independent Managers
As noted in Item 4, the Advisor may implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio utilizing one or more
Independent Managers. To eliminate any conflict of interest, the Advisor does not earn any compensation from an
Independent Manager. The Advisor will only earn its investment advisory fee as described above. Independent
Managers typically do not offer any fee discounts but may have a breakpoint schedule that will reduce the fee with
an increased level of assets placed under management with an Independent Manager. The terms of such fee
arrangements are included in the Independent Manager’s disclosure brochure and applicable contract[s] with the
Independent Manager. The total blended fee, including the Advisor’s fee and the Independent Manager’s fee, will
not exceed 2.15% annually.
Held-Away Accounts
For Client accounts, held-away from the Custodian, wealth management fees are paid quarterly, at the end of each
quarter, pursuant to the terms of the wealth management agreement. Wealth Management fees are based on the
average daily balance of assets under management during the quarter. Wealth management fees range up to 1.25%
annually based on several factors, including the level of assets to be managed, the complexity of the services
provided, and the overall relationship with the Advisor.
The wealth management fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the
end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fee will take into
consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed
by 626 Financial will be independently valued by the Custodian. 626 Financial will conduct periodic reviews of the
Custodian’s valuations to ensure accurate billing.
Clients may make additions to and withdrawals from their account[s] at any time, subject to 626 Financial’s right to
terminate an account. Additions may be in cash or securities provided that 626 Financial reserves the right to liquidate
any transferred securities or decline to accept particular securities into a Client’s account[s]. Clients may withdraw
account assets with notice to 626 Financial, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures.
However, 626 Financial designs its portfolios as long-term investments, and the withdrawal of assets may impair the
achievement of a Client’s investment objectives. 626 Financial may consult with its Clients about the options and
ramifications of transferring securities. However, Clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated,
they are subject to transaction fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (i.e., contingent deferred sales charge),
and/or tax ramifications. The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and
custody fees and other related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C. below, which may be incurred by the
Client. However, the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.

Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement plan advisory fees are paid quarterly, generally in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the
terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement. Fees are based on the market value of assets in the Plan at the
end of the prior calendar quarter. Fees range up to 1.00% annually and may be negotiable depending on the size
and complexity of the Plan.
B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees will be calculated by the Custodian and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the
Custodian in advance of each quarter. The amount due is calculated by applying the following formula: ([Prior
quarter-ending valuation of total assets under management with 626 Financial x Annual Rate] / 360 x 90 Days).
Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting the deduction of the wealth
management fee. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by the Custodian to
be paid directly from their account[s] as part of the wealth management agreement and separate account forms
provided by the Custodian.
Use of Independent Managers
For Client accounts implemented through an Independent Manager, the Client’s overall fees will include 626
Financial’s investment advisory fee (as noted above) plus investment management fees and/or platform fees
charged by the Independent Manager. The Independent Manager will assume the responsibility for calculating
the Client’s fees and deducting all fees from the Client’s account[s].
Held-Away Accounts
For Client accounts held away from the Custodian, either the Advisor or Custodian will calculate and deduct the
wealth management fees from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian at the end of each quarter. The amount due
is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate / 4) to the average daily balance of assets under management
with 626 Financial during the previous quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the
Custodian reflecting the deduction of the wealth management fee. Clients provide written authorization permitting
advisory fees to be deducted by the Advisor or Custodian to be paid directly from their account[s] as part of the
wealth management agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement plan advisory fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the assets of the Plan,
depending on the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties other than 626 Financial in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. 626 includes Covered Costs as part of its overall advisory
fees through the 626 Financial Wrap Fee Program. Securities transaction fees for Client-directed trades may be
charged back to the Client. Please see Item 4.D. above as well as Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program Brochure.
In addition, all fees paid to 626 Financial for wealth management services are separate and distinct from the
expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are
described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees
for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage, and account reporting), and
a possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of 626
Financial, but would not receive the services provided by 626 Financial, which are designed, among other things,
to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial
situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees
charged by 626 Financial to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage
Practices for additional information.

www.626financial.com
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Wealth Management Services
626 Financial may be compensated for its wealth management services in advance of the quarter in which services
are rendered. Either party may terminate the wealth management agreement, at any time, by providing advance
written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the wealth management agreement within five (5)
business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will
incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination, and such fees will be due and
payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid wealth management fees
from the effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s wealth management agreement with the
Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Use of Independent Managers
In the event that a Client should wish to terminate their relationship with an Independent Manager, the terms for
termination will be set forth in the respective agreements between the Client and those third parties. 626 Financial
will assist the Client with the termination and transition as appropriate.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
626 Financial is compensated for its retirement plan advisory services in advance of the quarter in which services
are rendered. Either party may terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance
written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement within five
(5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will
incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination, and such fees will be due and
payable by the Client. The Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid fees from the effective date of termination to
the end of the quarter. The Client’s retirement plan advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without
the Client’s prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
626 Financial does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for
securities transactions in any Client account other than the wealth management fees noted above.
Insurance Agency Affiliation
Certain Advisory Persons are licensed as independent insurance professionals. As an independent insurance
professional, an Advisory Person may earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products,
including insurance products offered to Clients. Insurance commissions earned by the Advisory Person are
separate and in addition to investment advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest as an Advisory
Person who is also an insurance professional will have an incentive to recommend insurance products to the
Client for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on the Client’s needs. Clients are under
no obligation, contractual or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through any Advisory Person affiliated
with the Advisor. Please see Item 10 below.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
626 Financial does not charge performance-based fees for its wealth management services. The fees charged by
626 Financial are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or
securities held by any Client. 626 Financial does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited
partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any
particular investment options to its Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
626 Financial offers wealth management services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, trusts, estates,
businesses, and retirement plans. 626 Financial generally does not impose a minimum relationship size.

Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
626 Financial employs fundamental and technical analysis in developing investment strategies for its Clients.
Research and analysis from 626 Financial are derived from numerous sources, including financial media
companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and reviews of company activities, including annual
reports, prospectuses, press releases, and research prepared by others.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. This criterion
generally consists of ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity
being analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong
investment with a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a
potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the
investment criteria utilized in the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment
performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations
are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in determining the
recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts to identify market patterns
and trends, which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. The primary
risk in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the future.
Even if the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that 626 Financial will be able to accurately predict
such a reoccurrence.
As noted above, 626 Financial generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent
with their financial goals. 626 Financial will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year but may
hold for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times,
626 Financial may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the
Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector, or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. 626 Financial will assist Clients in determining an appropriate
strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a
Client will meet their investment goals.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the
investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may
lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to
determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are
included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk, and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client’s account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client’s account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the
Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals,
or other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Clients’
accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio
construction process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies:

www.626financial.com
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading
risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a large
bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and
may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF
purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short
time later.
Bond Risks
Bonds are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e., the risk that bond prices will
fall if interest rates rise, and vice versa; the risk depends on two things, the bond’s time to maturity, and the coupon
rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e., the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower rate than
was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e., the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at a rate
that exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk, i.e.,
the risk associated with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the company defaulting on
its repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e., the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the
company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6) Liquidity
Risks, i.e., the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the bond.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the
mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual
fund is typically set daily; therefore, a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same
price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Illiquid Securities Risk
An illiquid investment means an asset cannot be quickly converted into cash. Illiquid assets are recognized to take
a lengthier period of time before there is a significant gain in their value. Illiquid securities risk exists when particular
investments are difficult to purchase or sell and may be particularly pronounced for long-term investments.
Investments in illiquid securities may reduce the returns of the Client’s account because it may be unable to sell
the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or possibly require a client to dispose of other investments
at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations. This could prevent the Client from taking advantage
of other investment opportunities. This may apply to certain closed-end funds, which will be separately disclosed
to the Client.
Independent Managers
When investing with an Independent Manager, there is the risk that the Independent Manager may not be able to
replicate its success in the future. In addition, as the Advisor does not control the underlying investments in an
Independent Manager’s portfolio, there is a risk that a manager may deviate from the stated investment mandate
or strategy of the portfolio, making it a less suitable investment for the Client. Moreover, as 626 Financial does
not control the Independent Manager’s daily business and compliance operations, the Advisor may not be aware
of any lack of internal controls necessary to prevent business, regulatory or reputational deficiencies.
Options Contracts
Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of time. Options contracts
are leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single contract to control many shares of an underlying stock.
This leverage can compound gains or losses.
Margin Borrowings
The use of short-term margin borrowings may result in certain additional risks to a Client. For example, if securities
pledged to brokers to secure a Client's margin accounts decline in value, the Client could be subject to a "margin
626 Financial, LLC
7950 Moorsbridge Road, Suite 104, Portage, MI 49024
Page 11
Phone: (269) 321-5040 | Fax: (269) 585-6059
www.626financial.com
call," pursuant to which it must either deposit additional funds with the broker or be the subject of mandatory
liquidation of the pledged securities to compensate for the decline in value.
Alternative Investments (Limited Partnerships)
The performance of alternative investments (limited partnerships) can be volatile and may have limited liquidity.
An investor could lose all or a portion of their investment. Such investments often have concentrated positions
and investments that may carry higher risks. Clients should only have a portion of their assets in these
investments.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”)
Investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) involves certain distinct risks in addition to those risks
associated with investing in the real estate industry in general. For Example, equity REITs may be affected by
changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the REITs, while mortgage REITs may be affected by
the quality of credit extended. REITs are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers, and self-
liquidation. REITs, especially mortgage REITs, are also subject to interest rate risk (i.e., as interest rates rise, the
value of the REIT may decline).
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments
involves a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to
discuss these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, regulatory, or disciplinary events involving 626 Financial or its management persons.
626 Financial values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite
due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor or
Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov
by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 306474.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Insurance Agency Affiliation
As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are licensed insurance professionals. Implementations of insurance
recommendations are separate and apart from one’s role with the Advisor. As an insurance professional, the
Advisory Person will receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the various insurance
companies whose products are sold. Advisory Persons are not required to offer the products of any particular
insurance company. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset investment advisory fees. This
presents a conflict of interest in recommending certain products of the insurance companies. Clients are under no
obligation to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor or Advisory Persons.
Community Access Management
The Advisor is affiliated through common ownership with Community Access Management, LLC and Community
Access Management III, LLC (herein “CAM”). CAM offers access to various private fund investments. The Advisor
may recommend that Clients invest in private fund investments managed by CAM. This presents a conflict of
interest, as certain management persons will bene4fit financially if Client assets are placed into these investments.
Prior to recommending private fund investments, the Advisor will conduct appropriate due diligence to ensure any
recommendation to a Client to invest aligns with the Client’s investment needs and objectives. In addition, the
Advisor will provide additional disclosure information to each Client, which will include relevant details regarding
material financial interests and compensation surrounding the private fund investment. There is no requirement
for the Advisor to recommend these products to Clients, nor are Clients obligated to invest in these private funds.
AL Opportunity Fund 1 MM, LLC
The Advisor is affiliated through common ownership with AL Opportunity Fund 1 MM, LLC (“AL Opportunity
Fund”). AL Opportunity Fund offers access to various private investments in memory care institutions. The Advisor
may recommend that Clients invest in private investments managed by AL Opportunity Fund. This presents a
conflict of interest, as certain management persons will benefit financially if Client assets are placed into these
investments. Prior to recommending private investments, the Advisor will conduct appropriate due diligence to
626 Financial, LLC

Page 12
Phone: (269) 321-5040 | Fax: (269) 585-6059
www.626financial.com
ensure any recommendation to a Client to invest aligns with the Client’s investment needs and objectives. In
addition, the Advisor will provide additional disclosure information to each Client, which will include relevant details
regarding material financial interests and compensation surrounding the private fund investment. There is no
requirement for the Advisor to recommend these products to Clients, nor are Clients obligated to invest in these
private investments.
626 Foundation, Inc.
The Advisor is affiliated through common control and ownership with 626 Foundation, Inc. (“626 Foundation”), a
501(c)(3) charitable organization. The Advisor may recommend that Clients make a charitable contribution[s] to
626 Foundation. The Advisor will conduct the appropriate due diligence prior to recommending Clients make a
charitable contribution[s] to 626 Foundation to ensure the recommendation aligns with the Clients’ investment
needs and objectives. There is no requirement for the Advisor to recommend 626 Foundation, nor are Clients
obligated to make a charitable contribution[s] to 626 Foundation.
Univix LLC
The Advisor is affiliated through common control and ownership with Univix LLC (“Univix”). Univix is an energy
storage company focused on selling battery systems and installing solar systems with battery storage. The Advisor
may recommend that Clients invest in Univix. This presents a conflict of interest, as certain management persons
will benefit financially if Clients decide to invest into Univix. Prior to recommending this investment, the Advisor
will conduct appropriate due diligence to ensure any recommendation to a Client to invest aligns with the Client’s
investment needs and objectives. In addition, the Advisor will provide additional disclosure information to each
Client, which will include relevant details regarding material financial interests and compensation surrounding the
investment. Clients are under no obligation to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor.
Use of Independent Managers
As noted in Item 4, the Advisor may implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio with one or more
Independent Managers. The Advisor does not receive any compensation nor does this present a material conflict
of interest. The Advisor will only earn its investment advisory fee as described.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
626 Financial has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to
each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with 626 Financial (“Supervised Persons”). The Code
was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to
each Client. 626 Financial and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith towards each
Client. It is the obligation of 626 Financial’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of
the Code but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address
employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at (269) 321-
5040.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
626 Financial allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. 626 Financial does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the
Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund or advise an investment company. 626 Financial does not
have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
626 Financial allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to
Clients presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through
policies and procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material,
nonpublic information controls), gifts and entertainment, outside business activities, and personal securities
reporting. When trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the
same securities. The fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are
made with more advantageous terms than Client trades or by trading based on material, nonpublic information.
This risk is mitigated by 626 Financial requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons
626 Financial, LLC
7950 Moorsbridge Road, Suite 104, Portage, MI 49024
Page 13
Phone: (269) 321-5040 | Fax: (269) 585-6059
www.626financial.com
for review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). The Advisor has also adopted written policies and procedures
to detect the misuse of material, nonpublic information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While 626 Financial allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended
to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded afterward.
At no time will 626 Financial, or any Supervised Person of 626 Financial, transact in any security to the
detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
626 Financial does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and
execution services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard
Client assets and authorize 626 Financial to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the wealth
management agreement. Further, 626 Financial does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate
commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where 626 Financial does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the
Custodian[s] to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended
Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a custodian not
recommended by 626 Financial. However, if the recommended Custodian is not engaged, the Advisor may be
limited in the services it can provide.
626 Financial will recommend that Clients establish their accounts at LPL Financial or Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
(“Schwab”) FINRA-registered broker-dealers and members of SIPC. LPL Financial or Schwab will serve as the
Client’s “qualified custodian.” 626 Financial maintains an institutional relationship with LPL Financial and Schwab,
whereby the Advisor receives certain benefits. Please see Item 14 below. Following are additional details
regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars – Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an
advisor enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for
research and other services. 626 Financial does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored
or offered by any broker-dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic
benefits from LPL Financial. Please see Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals – 626 Financial does not receive any compensation from any third party in
connection with the recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage – All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis,” where 626 Financial will
place trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client
accounts are traded within their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal
transactions (i.e., trade of any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with
other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]).
626 Financial will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have
an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution,
4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. 626 Financial will execute its transactions through the
Custodian as authorized by the Client. 626 Financial may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when
securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading
day. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold
by the close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation
or other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any
particular Clients’ accounts.

www.626financial.com
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Advisory Persons of 626
Financial and periodically by the CCO. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more
frequently depending on the needs of the Client.
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a
result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large
deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify 626 Financial if changes
occur in the Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional
reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to
the Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions, and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may
also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by 626 Financial
626 Financial may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g., attorneys, accountants,
estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients. Likewise, 626
Financial may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third parties.
Participation in the Institutional Advisor Platform - LPL Financial LLC
626 Financial has established an institutional relationship with LPL Financial to assist the Advisor in managing Client
account[s]. Access to the LPL Financial platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor. The Advisor receives
access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services
to Clients that maintain assets at LPL Financial. The software and related systems support may benefit the Advisor
but not its Clients directly. Further, LPL Financial has provided the Advisor with financial support in the start-up of
this registered investment advisor. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the
interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a Custodian
creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's recommendation of this Custodian over
one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
626 Financial receives support services and/or products from LPL Financial, many of which assist the Advisor to
better monitor and service program accounts maintained at LPL Financial; however, some of the services and
products benefit the Advisor and not the Clients’ accounts. These support services and/or products may be received
without cost, at a discount, and/or at a negotiated rate and may include the following:
investment-related research
software and other technology that provides access to client account data
compliance and/or practice management-related publications
consulting services
computer hardware and/or software
•
• pricing information and market data
•
•
•
• attendance at conferences, meetings, and other educational and/or social events
• marketing support
•
• other products and services used by 626 Financial in furtherance of its investment advisory business
operations

Page 15
Phone: (269) 321-5040 | Fax: (269) 585-6059
www.626financial.com
LPL Financial may provide these services and products directly or may arrange for third-party vendors to provide
the services or products to Advisor. In the case of third-party vendors, LPL Financial may pay for some or all of the
third party’s fees.
These support services are provided to 626 Financial based on the overall relationship between the Advisor and
LPL Financial. It is not the result of soft dollar arrangements or any other express arrangements with LPL Financial
that involve the execution of Client transactions as a condition to the receipt of services. 626 Financial will continue
to receive the services regardless of the volume of Client transactions executed with LPL Financial. Clients do not
pay more for services as a result of this arrangement. There is no corresponding commitment made by the Advisor
to LPL or any other entity to invest any specific amount or percentage of client assets in any specific securities as a
result of the arrangement. However, because Advisor receives these benefits from LPL Financial, there is a potential
conflict of interest. The receipt of these products and services presents a financial incentive for Advisor to
recommend that its Clients use LPL Financial’s custodial platform rather than another custodian’s platform.
Participation in the Institutional Advisor Platform - Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
The Advisor has also established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services”
unit, a division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like the Advisor. As a registered
investment advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, the Advisor receives access to
software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to
Clients that maintain assets at Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor and
many, but not all services provided by Schwab will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor
endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt
of economic benefits from a custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits can influence the
Advisor's recommendation of Schwab over a custodian that does not furnish similar software, systems support,
or services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of
investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through
Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be
able to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds
and other investments without having to adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the Client were
to directly access the investments.
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to technology,
research, discounts and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for Client accounts,
the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back office support services as part of its relationship with
Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for its Clients, but
may not directly benefit all Clients.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services to the Advisor that may not benefit
the Client, including: educational conferences and events, financial start-up support, consulting services and
discounts for various service providers. Access to these services creates a financial incentive for the Advisor to
recommend Schwab, which results in a potential conflict of interest. The Advisor believes, however, that the
selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
626 Financial does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons for
Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
The Advisor is authorized to deduct its fees from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Client must place
all assets with a “qualified custodian”. The Client is required to engage the Custodian to retain all funds and
securities and direct the Advisor to utilize that Custodian for security transactions in the account[s]. The Client
should review statements provided by the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For more
information about custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.

Page 16
Phone: (269) 321-5040 | Fax: (269) 585-6059
www.626financial.com
If the Client gives the Advisor authority to move money from one account to another account, the Advisor may
have custody of those assets. In order to avoid additional regulatory requirements, the Custodian and the Advisor
have adopted safeguards to ensure that the money movements are completed in accordance with the Client’s
instructions.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
626 Financial typically has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client
accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be
subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed
to by 626 Financial. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting
of such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of a wealth management agreement containing all
applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by 626 Financial will be in accordance with
each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
626 Financial does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements
directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies; however, the Client
retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither 626 Financial nor its management has any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the
ability of 626 Financial to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither 626 Financial nor any of its Advisory Persons
have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. 626 Financial is not required to deliver a balance
sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for
services to be performed six months or more in the future.

Item 4 – Services Fees and Compensation
A. Services
626 Financial, LLC (“626 Financial”) provides customized investment advisory services for its Clients. This Wrap
Fee Program Brochure is provided as a supplement to the 626 Financial Form ADV Part 2A (“Disclosure
Brochure”). This Wrap Fee Program Brochure is provided along with the complete Disclosure Brochure to provide
full details of the business practices and fees when selecting 626 Financial as your investment advisor.
As part of the investment advisory fees noted in Item 5 of the Disclosure Brochure, 626 Financial includes, in
addition to securities transaction fees, custody fees and commission fees (herein “Covered Costs”) as part of the
overall investment advisory fee. Securities regulations often refer to this combined fee structure as a “Wrap Fee
Program.” The Advisor sponsors the 626 Financial Wrap Fee Program.
The primary purpose of this Wrap Fee Program Brochure is to provide additional disclosure relating to the
combination of securities transaction fees into a single “bundled” investment advisory fee. This Wrap Fee Program
Brochure references back to the 626 Financial Disclosure Brochure in which this Wrap Fee Program Brochure
serves as an Appendix. Please see Item 4 – Advisory Services of the Disclosure Brochure for details on
626 Financial’s investment philosophy and related services.
B. Program Costs
Advisory services provided by 626 Financial are offered in a wrap fee structure whereby Covered Costs are
included in the overall investment advisory fee paid to 626 Financial. As the level of trading in a Client’s account[s]
may vary from year to year, the annual cost to the Client may be more or less than engaging for advisory services
where the transaction costs are borne separately by the Client. The cost of the Wrap Fee Program varies
depending on the services to be provided to each Client; however, the Client is not charged more if there is higher
trading activity in the Client’s account[s]. A Wrap Fee structure presents a conflict of interest as the Advisor is
incentivized to limit the number of trades placed in the Client’s account[s] or utilize securities that do not have
securities transaction fees charged by the Custodian. The Advisor will seek the most appropriate investments for
the Client regardless of whether a securities transaction fee will be incurred. The Advisor may, at times, be limited
to a particular share class of a fund due to availability on the Custodian platform. The Advisor will only place Client
assets into a Wrap Fee Program when it is believed to be in the Client’s best interest. Please see Item 5 – Fees
and Compensation of the Disclosure Brochure for complete details on fees.
C. Fees
Wealth management fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the
wealth management agreement. Wealth management fees are based on the market value of assets under
management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Wealth management fees range from 0.60% to 1.25% annually
based on several factors, including the level of assets to be managed, the complexity of the services provided, and
the overall relationship with the Advisor. Clients may be offered a fixed annual rate or a tiered fee schedule within
this range.
The wealth management fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the
end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fee will take into
consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed
by 626 Financial will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the
Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing.
Clients may make additions to and withdrawals from their account[s] at any time, subject to 626 Financial’s right to
terminate an account. Additions may be in cash or securities provided that 626 Financial reserves the right to liquidate
any transferred securities or decline to accept particular securities into a Client’s account[s]. Clients may withdraw
account assets with notice to 626 Financial, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures.
However, 626 Financial designs its portfolios as long-term investments, and the withdrawal of assets may impair the
achievement of a Client’s investment objectives. 626 Financial may consult with its Clients about the options and
ramifications of transferring securities. However, Clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated,
they are subject to transaction fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (i.e., contingent deferred sales charge),
and/or tax ramifications.

www.626financial.com
Wealth management fees will be calculated by the Custodian and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the
Custodian in advance of each quarter. The amount due is calculated by applying the following formula: ([Prior
quarter-ending valuation of total assets under management with 626 Financial x Annual Rate] / 360 x 90 Days).
Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting the deduction of the wealth
management fee. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by the Custodian to
be paid directly from their account[s] as part of the wealth management agreement and separate account forms
provided by the Custodian.
As noted above, the Wrap Fee Program includes Covered Costs incurred in connection with the discretionary
investment management services provided by 626 Financial. Securities transaction fees for Client-directed trades
may be charged back to the Client. Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties in connection
with investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. Under this Wrap Fee Program, 626 Financial includes
Covered Costs as part of its overall investment advisory fee.
In addition, all fees paid to 626 Financial for investment advisory services or part of the Wrap Fee Program are
separate and distinct from the expenses charged by mutual funds and exchange-traded funds to their shareholders,
if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will
generally be used to pay management fees for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody,
brokerage, and account reporting), and a possible distribution fee. The Client may also incur other costs assessed
by the Custodian or other parties for account-related activity fees, such as wire transfer fees, fees for trades executed
away from the Custodian, and other fees. The Advisor does not control nor share in these fees. The Client should
review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by 626 Financial to fully understand the total fees
to be paid. Please see Item 5.C. – Other Fees and Expenses in the Disclosure Brochure (included with this Wrap
Fee Program Brochure).
D. Compensation
626 Financial is the sponsor and portfolio manager of this Wrap Fee Program. 626 Financial receives investment
advisory fees paid by Clients for participating in the Wrap Fee Program and pays the Custodian for the costs
associated with the normal trading activity in the Client’s account[s].
Item 5 – Account Requirements and Types of Clients
626 Financial offers investment advisory services to 626 Financial offers wealth management services to
individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, and businesses. 626 Financial generally does not impose
a minimum relationship size. Please see Item 7 – Types of Clients in the Disclosure Brochure for additional
information.

626 Financial are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or
securities held by any Client. 626 Financial does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited
partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any
particular investment options to its Clients.
Supervised Persons

Methods of Analysis
Please see Item 8 of the Disclosure Brochure (included with this Wrap Fee Program Brochure) for details on the
research and analysis methods employed by the Advisor.
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. 626 Financial will assist Clients in determining an appropriate
strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a
Client will meet their investment goals.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the
investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may
lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to
determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are
included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk, and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client’s account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client’s account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the
Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals,
or other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Clients’
accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio
construction process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies:
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments
involves a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to
discuss these risks with the Advisor. Please see Item 8.B. – Risk of Loss in the Disclosure Brochure for
details on investment risks.
Proxy Voting
626 Financial does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements
directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies; however, the Client
retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 7 – Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers
626 Financial is the sponsor and sole portfolio manager for the Program. 626 Financial does not share Client
information with other portfolio managers because it is the sole portfolio manager for this Wrap Fee Program.
Please also see the 626 Financial Privacy Policy (included after this Wrap Fee Program Brochure).
Item 8 – Client Contact with Portfolio Managers

B. Code of Ethics, Review of Accounts, Client Referrals, and Financial Information
626 Financial has implemented a Code of Ethics that defines our fiduciary commitment to each Client. This Code
of Ethics applies to all persons subject to 626 Financial’s compliance program (our “Supervised Persons”).

Review of Accounts
Investments in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Advisory Persons of 626
Financial under the supervision of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). Details of the review policies and
practices are provided in Item 13 of the Form ADV Part 2A – Disclosure Brochure.
Other Compensation
Participation in the Institutional Advisor Platform
626 Financial receives support services and/or products from LPL Financial, LLC (“LPL Financial”), many of which
assist the Advisor to better monitor and service program accounts maintained at LPL Financial; however, some of
the services and products benefit the Advisor and not the Clients’ accounts. These support services and/or products
may be received without cost, at a discount, and/or at a negotiated rate and may include the following:
investment-related research
software and other technology that provides access to client account data
compliance and/or practice management-related publications
consulting services
computer hardware and/or software
•
• pricing information and market data
•
•
•
• attendance at conferences, meetings, and other educational and/or social events
• marketing support
•
• other products and services used by 626 Financial in furtherance of its investment advisory business
operations
LPL Financial may provide these services and products directly or may arrange for third-party vendors to provide
the services or products to Advisor. In the case of third-party vendors, LPL Financial may pay for some or all of the
third party’s fees.
These support services are provided to 626 Financial based on the overall relationship between the Advisor and
LPL Financial. It is not the result of soft dollar arrangements or any other express arrangements with LPL Financial
that involve the execution of Client transactions as a condition to the receipt of services. 626 Financial will continue
to receive the services regardless of the volume of Client transactions executed with LPL Financial. Clients do not
pay more for services as a result of this arrangement. There is no corresponding commitment made by the Advisor
to LPL or any other entity to invest any specific amount or percentage of client assets in any specific securities as a
result of the arrangement. However, because Advisor receives these benefits from LPL Financial, there is a potential
conflict of interest. The receipt of these products and services presents a financial incentive for Advisor to
recommend that its Clients use LPL Financial’s custodial platform rather than another custodian’s platform. Please
see Item 14 – Other Compensation in the Form ADV Part 2A – Disclosure Brochure (included with this Wrap Fee
Program Brochure) for details on additional compensation that may be received by 626 Financial or its Advisory
Persons. Each Advisory Person’s Brochure Supplement (also included with this Wrap Fee Program Brochure)

have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. 626 Financial is not required to deliver a balance
sheet along with this Wrap Fee Program Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more
for services to be performed six months or more in the future.

CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (“CFP®”)
The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP®, and federally registered CFP® (with flame design) marks
(collectively, the “CFP® marks”) are professional certification marks granted in the United States by CERTIFIED
FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP Board”).
The CFP® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or regulation requires financial planners
to hold CFP® certification. It is recognized in the United States and a number of other countries for its (1) high
standard of professional education; (2) stringent code of conduct and standards of practice; and (3) ethical
requirements that govern professional engagements with clients. Currently, more than 95,000 individuals have
obtained CFP® certification in the United States.
To attain the right to use the CFP® marks, an individual must satisfactorily fulfill the following requirements:
• Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study addressing the financial planning
subject areas that the CFP Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the competent and
professional delivery of financial planning services and attain a Bachelor’s Degree from a regionally
accredited United States college or university (or its equivalent from a foreign university). CFP Board’s
financial planning subject areas include insurance planning and risk management, employee benefits
planning, investment planning, income tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning;
• Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination includes case
studies and client scenarios designed to test one’s ability to correctly diagnose financial planning issues
and apply one’s knowledge of financial planning to real-world circumstances;
• Experience – Complete at least three years of full-time financial planning-related experience (or the
equivalent, measured as 2,000 hours per year); and
• Ethics – Agree to be bound by the CFP Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct, a set of documents
outlining the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements in order
to maintain the right to continue to use the CFP® marks:
• Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education hours every two years, including two
hours on the Code of Ethics and other parts of the Standards of Professional Conduct, to maintain
competence and keep up with developments in the financial planning field; and
• Ethics – Renew an agreement to be bound by the Standards of Professional Conduct. The Standards
prominently require that CFP® professionals provide financial planning services at a fiduciary standard of
care. This means CFP® professionals must provide financial planning services in the best interests of their
clients.
CFP® professionals who fail to comply with the above standards and requirements may be subject to the CFP
Board’s enforcement process, which could result in suspension or permanent revocation of their CFP®.
