Item 4
Advisory Business
A. ACT Wealth is a limited liability company formed on September 2, 2010 in the State of
Texas. ACT Wealth became registered as an Investment Adviser Firm in September 2010.
ACT Wealth is owned, by Daniel Archer, Ray Tanner and Brennan Cross, all Managing
Members of the firm and Kally Alkire, Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer
(“CCO”).
B. As discussed below, ACT Wealth offers to its clients (individuals, business entities, trusts,
estates and charitable organizations, etc.) investment advisory services, and, to the extent
specifically requested by a client, financial planning and related consulting services.
INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES
The client can engage ACT Wealth to provide discretionary and/or non-discretionary
investment advisory services on a fee-only basis. Before engaging ACT Wealth to provide
investment advisory services, clients are required to enter into an Investment Advisory
Agreement with ACT Wealth setting forth the terms and conditions of the engagement
(including termination), describing the scope of the services to be provided, and the fee
that is due from the client.
ACT Wealth’s annual investment advisory fee shall include the investment advisory
services, and, to the extent specifically requested by the client, financial planning, and
consulting services. In the event that the client requires extraordinary planning and/or
consultation services (to be determined in the sole discreation of ACT Wealth), ACT
Wealth reserves the right to charge for such additional services, the dollar amount of which
shall be set forth in a separate written notice to the client.
Before ACT Wealth provides investment advisory services, an investment adviser
representative will ascertain each client’s investment objectives. Thereafter, ACT Wealth
will allocate and/or recommend the client allocate investment assets consistent with the
designated investment objectives. Once allocated, ACT Wealth provides ongoing
monitoring and review of account performance and asset allocation as compared to client
investment objectives.
MISCELLANEOUS
Non-Investment Consulting/Implementation Services. If requested by the client, ACT
Wealth may provide consulting services regarding non-investment related matters, such as
estate planning, tax planning, insurance, etc. Neither ACT Wealth, nor any of its
representatives, serves as an attorney, accountant or insurance agent, and no portion of
ACT Wealth’s services should be construed as same. To the extent requested by a client,
ACT Wealth may recommend the services of other professionals for certain non-
investment implementation purposes (i.e. attorneys, accountants, insurance, etc.),
including representatives of ACT Wealth in their separate registered/licensed capacities as
discussed below. The client is under no obligation to engage the services of any such
recommended professional. The client retains absolute discretion over all such
implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject any recommendation from ACT
Wealth.
4
Please Note: Inverse/Enhanced Market Strategies. When appropriate, ACT Wealth
will utilize long and short mutual funds and/or exchange traded funds that are designed to
perform in either an: (1) inverse relationship to certain market indices (at a rate of 1 or
more times the inverse [opposite] result of the corresponding index) as an investment
strategy and/or for the purpose of hedging against downside market risk; and (2) enhanced
relationship to certain market indices (at a rate of 1 or more times the actual result of the
corresponding index) as an investment strategy and/or for the purpose of increasing gains
in an advancing market. There can be no assurance that any such strategy will prove
profitable or successful. In light of these enhanced risks/rewards, a client may direct ACT
Wealth, in writing, not to employ any or all such strategies for his/her/their/its accounts.
Retirement Plan Rollovers-No Obligation/Conflict of Interest: Clients are under
absolutely no obligation to engage ACT Wealth as the investment adviser for his/her
employer-sponsored retirement account(s). Rather, clients can continue to self-direct such
retirement account(s). However, if a client determines that he/she would like ACT
Wealth’s assistance in managing his/her retirement account, ACT Wealth shall charge a
separate and additional advisory fee for ongoing advisory services, which clients would
not incur by continuing to self-direct the retirement account. As a result, any
recommendations by ACT Wealth that clients engage ACT Wealth to manage an otherwise
self-directed retirement account presents a conflict of interest. Again, clients are under
absolutely no obligation to engage ACT Wealth as the investment adviser for his/her
retirement account. ACT Wealth’s Chief Compliance Officer, Kally Alkire, remains
available to address any questions that a client or prosepective client may have
regarding its prospective engagement and the corresponding conflict of interest
presented by such engagement.
ERISA Fiduciary: Act Wealth Management understands and attests that they are an
ERISA fiduciary as defined in the Fiduciary Rule under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Act Wealth Management
adheres to the Impartial Conduct Standards (including the “best interest” standard,
reasonable compensation and no misrepresented information), as a condition for relying
upon the Best Interest Contract Exemption and the Class Exemption for Principal
Transactions in Certain Assets Between Investment Advice Fiduciaries and Employee
Benefit Plans and IRA during the transition period from June 9, 2017, through January 1,
2018. This relates to all ERISA accounts including Individual Retirement Accounts
(IRAs).
Act Wealth Management does not act as a non-discretionary or discretionary investment
manager of the Plan as defined in Sections 3(21) and 3(38) of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974.
Please Note: Non-Discretionary Service Limitations. Clients that determine to engage
ACT Wealth on a non-discretionary investment advisory basis must be willing to accept
that ACT Wealth cannot effect any account transactions without obtaining prior verbal
consent to any such transaction(s) from the client. Thus, in the event of a market correction
during which the client is unavailable, ACT Wealth will be unable to effect any account
transactions (as it would for its discretionary clients) without first obtaining the client’s
verbal consent.
5
financial
situation or
investment objectives
for
Client Obligations. In performing its services, ACT Wealth shall not be required to verify
any information received from the client or from the client’s other professionals, and is
expressly authorized to rely thereon. Moreover, each client is advised that it remains
his/her/its responsibility to promptly notify ACT Wealth if there is ever any change in
the purpose of
his/her/its
reviewing/evaluating/revising ACT Wealth’s previous recommendations and/or services.
Disclosure Statement. A copy of ACT Wealth’s written Brochure as set forth on Part 2A
of Form ADV shall be provided to each client prior to, or contemporaneously with, the
execution of the Investment Advisory Agreement or Financial Planning and Consulting
Agreement.
C. ACT Wealth shall provide investment advisory services specific to the needs of each client.
Prior to providing investment advisory services, an investment adviser representative will
ascertain each client’s investment objective(s). Thereafter, ACT Wealth shall allocate
and/or recommend that the client allocate investment assets consistent with the designated
investment objective(s). The client may, at anytime, impose reasonable restrictions, in
writing, on ACT Wealth’s services.
D. ACT Wealth does not participate in a wrap fee program.
E. As of December 31, 2025, ACT Wealth had $568,779,540 in assets under management on
a discretionary basis and no assets under management on a non-discretionary basis.
Item 5
Fees and Compensation
A. The client can determine to engage ACT Wealth to provide discretionary and/or non-
discretionary investment advisory services on a negotiable fee-only basis.
INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES
If a client determines to engage ACT Wealth to provide discretionary and/or non-
discretionary investment advisory services on a fee-only basis, ACT Wealth’s negotiable
annual investment advisory fee shall be generally based upon a percentage (%) of the
market value and type of assets placed under ACT Wealth’s management (between
negotiable and 1.50%), to be charged quarterly in advance, as follows:
Portfolios of and over $1,000,000:
Market Value of Portfolio Annual % of Assets
First $1,000,000
$1,000,001 - $3,000,000
$3,000,001 - $5,000,000
$5,000,001 - $10,000,000
$10,000,001 and over
1.00%
0.80%
0.60%
0.40%
0.25%
Portfolios under $1,000,000:
Market Value of Portfolio Annual % of Assets
First $250,000
1.50%
6
$250,001 - $999,999
1.00%
ACT Wealth’s annual investment advisory fee shall include investment advisory services,
and, to the extent specifically requested by the client, financial planning and consulting
services. In the event that the client requires extraordinary planning and/or consultation
services (to be determined in the sole discretion of ACT Wealth), ACT Wealth reserves the
right to charge for such additional services, the dollar amount of which shall be set forth in
a separate written notice to the client.
B. Clients may elect to have ACT Wealth’s advisory fees deducted from their custodial
account. In such cases, both ACT Wealth's Investment Advisory Agreement and the
custodial/ clearing agreement will authorize the custodian to debit the account for the
amount of ACT Wealth's investment advisory fee and to directly remit that management
fee to ACT Wealth in compliance with regulatory procedures. In the limited event that
ACT Wealth bills the client directly, payment is due upon receipt of ACT Wealth’s invoice.
ACT Wealth shall deduct fees and/or bill clients quarterly in advance, based upon the
market value of the assets on the last business day of the previous quarter.
C. As discussed below, unless the client directs otherwise or an individual client’s
circumstances require, ACT Wealth shall generally recommend a qualified custodian serve
as the broker-dealer/custodian for client investment management assets. Please note that
in most cases, qualified custodians charge brokerage commissions and/or transaction fees
for effecting certain securities transactions (i.e. transaction fees are charged for certain no-
load mutual funds, commissions are charged for individual equity and fixed income
securities transactions). Clients will incur, in addition to ACT Wealth’s investment
management fee, brokerage commissions and/or transaction fees, and, relative to all mutual
fund and exchange traded fund purchases, charges imposed at the fund level (e.g.
management fees and other fund expenses).
D. ACT Wealth's annual investment advisory fee shall be prorated and paid quarterly, in
advance, based upon the market value of the assets on the last business day of the previous
quarter. The Investment Advisory Agreement between ACT Wealth and the client will
continue in effect until terminated by either party by written notice in accordance with the
terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Upon termination, ACT Wealth shall refund
the pro-rated portion of the advanced advisory fee paid based upon the number of days
remaining in the billing quarter.
E. Neither ACT Wealth, nor its representatives accept compensation from the sale of
securities or other investment products.
Item 6
Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Neither ACT Wealth, nor any supervised person of ACT Wealth, accepts performance-
based fees, fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets
of a client.
Item 7
Types of Clients
7
ACT Wealth’s clients shall generally include individuals, high net worth individuals,
business entities, trusts and estates. ACT Wealth generally requires a minimum asset level
of $500,000 for investment advisory services. However, ACT Wealth, in its sole
discretion, may charge a lesser investment management fee and/or waive or reduce its
minimum asset requirement based upon certain criteria (i.e. anticipated future earning
capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed, related
accounts, account composition, negotiations with client, etc.).
Item 8
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. ACT Wealth utilizes some or all of the following methods of security analysis:
• Charting - (analysis performed using patterns to identify current trends and trend
reversals to forecast the direction of prices)
• Fundamental - (analysis performed on historical and present data, with the goal of
making financial forecasts)
• Technical – (analysis performed on historical and present data, focusing on price
and trade volume, to forecast the direction of prices)
• Cyclical – (analysis performed on historical relationships between price and
market trends, to forecast the direction of prices)
ACT Wealth utilizes some or all the following investment strategies when implementing
investment advice given to clients:
• Long Term Purchases (securities held at least a year)
• Short Term Purchases (securities sold within a year)
• Trading (securities sold within thirty (30) days)
Please Note: Investment Risk. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients
should be prepared to bear. Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk,
and it should not be assumed that future performance of any specific investment or
investment strategy (including the investments and/or investment strategies recommended
or undertaken by ACT Wealth) will be profitable or equal any specific performance
level(s).
B. ACT Wealth’s methods of analysis and investment strategies do not present any significant
or unusual risks.
However, every method of analysis has its own inherent risks. To perform an accurate
market analysis ACT Wealth must have access to current/new market information. ACT
Wealth has no control over the dissemination rate of market information; therefore,
unbeknownst to ACT Wealth, certain analyses may be compiled with outdated market
information, severely limiting the value of ACT Wealth’s analysis. Furthermore, an
accurate market analysis can only produce a forecast of the direction of market values.
There can be no assurances that a forecasted change in market value will materialize into
actionable and/or profitable investment opportunities.
8
ACT Wealth’s primary investment strategies - Long Term Purchases, Short Term
Purchases, and Trading - are fundamental investment strategies. However, every
investment strategy has its own inherent risks and limitations. For example, longer term
investment strategies require a longer investment time period to allow for the strategy to
potentially develop. Shorter term investment strategies require a shorter investment time
period to potentially develop but, as a result of more frequent trading, in some cases will
incur higher transactional costs when compared to a longer term investment strategy.
Trading, an investment strategy that requires the purchase and sale of securities within a
thirty (30) day investment time period, involves a very short investment time period but
will incur higher transaction costs when compared to a short term investment strategy and
substantially higher transaction costs than a longer term investment strategy.
C. Currently, ACT Wealth primarily allocates client investment assets among various
individual equity and fixed income securities, mutual funds and/or exchange traded funds
(“ETFs”) (including inverse ETFs and/or mutual funds that are designed to perform in an
inverse relationship to certain market indices), on a discretionary and non-discretionary
basis in accordance with the client’s designated investment objective(s).
Item 9
Disciplinary Information
ACT Wealth has not been the subject of any disciplinary actions.
Item 10
Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
A. Neither ACT Wealth, nor its representatives, are registered or have an application pending
to register, as a broker-dealer or a registered representative of a broker-dealer.
B. Neither ACT Wealth, nor its representatives, are registered or have an application pending
to register, as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity
trading advisor, or a representative of the foregoing.
C. Neither ACT Wealth, nor its representatives have any arrangements that would be material
to its advisory business or to its clients.
D. ACT Wealth does not receive, directly or indirectly, compensation from investment
advisors that it recommends or selects for its clients.
Item 11
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
A. ACT Wealth maintains an investment policy relative to personal securities transactions.
This investment policy is part of ACT Wealth’s overall Code of Ethics, which serves to
establish a standard of business conduct for all of ACT Wealth’s representatives that is
based upon fundamental principles of openness, integrity, honesty and trust, a copy of
which is available upon request.
9
In accordance with Section 204A of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, ACT Wealth
also maintains and enforces written policies reasonably designed to prevent the misuse of
material non-public information by ACT Wealth or any person associated with ACT
Wealth.
B. Neither ACT Wealth nor any related person of ACT Wealth recommends, buys, or sells
for client accounts, securities in which ACT Wealth or any related person of ACT Wealth
has a material financial interest.
C. ACT Wealth and/or representatives of ACT Wealth may buy or sell securities that are also
recommended to clients. This practice may create a situation where ACT Wealth and/or
representatives of ACT Wealth are in a position to materially benefit from the sale or
purchase of those securities. Therefore, this situation creates a potential conflict of interest.
Practices such as “scalping” (i.e., a practice whereby the owner of shares of a security
recommends that security for investment and then immediately sells it at a profit upon the
rise in the market price which follows the recommendation) could take place if ACT
Wealth did not have adequate policies in place to detect such activities. In addition, this
requirement can help detect insider trading, “front-running” (i.e., personal trades executed
prior to those of ACT Wealth’s clients) and other potentially abusive practices.
ACT Wealth has a personal securities transaction policy in place to monitor the personal
securities transactions and securities holdings of each of ACT Wealth’s “Access Persons”.
ACT Wealth’s securities transaction policy requires that an Access Person of ACT Wealth
must provide the Chief Compliance Officer or his/her designee with a written report of
their current securities holdings within ten (10) days after becoming an Access Person.
Additionally, each Access Person must provide the Chief Compliance Officer or his/her
designee with a written report of the Access Person’s current securities holdings at least
once each twelve (12) month period thereafter on a date ACT Wealth selects; provided,
however that at any time that ACT Wealth has only one Access Person, he or she shall not
be required to submit any securities report described above.
D. When appropriate, ACT Wealth and/or representatives of ACT Wealth will buy or sell
securities, at or around the same time as those securities are recommended to clients. This
practice creates a situation where ACT Wealth and/or representatives of ACT Wealth are
in a position to materially benefit from the sale or purchase of those securities. Therefore,
this situation creates a potential conflict of interest. As indicated above in Item 11.C, ACT
Wealth has a personal securities transaction policy in place to monitor the personal
securities transaction and securities holdings of each of ACT Wealth’s Access Persons.
E. We act in a fiduciary capacity as required by SEC and state Regulations. If a conflict of
interest arises between us and you, we shall make every effort to resolve the conflict in
your favor. Conflicts of interest may also arise in the allocation of investment opportunities
among the accounts that we advise. We will seek to allocate investment opportunities
according to what we believe is appropriate for each account. We also adhere to the
fiduciary standards of ERISA for all ERISA accounts. We adhere to the Impartial Conduct
Standards which includes the “best interest” standard, reasonable compensation and no
misrepresentation of information. We have policies and procedures in place to monitor our
adherence to our fiduciary obligation. We strive to do what is in the best interests of all the
accounts we advise.
10
Item 12
Brokerage Practices
A. In the event that the client requests that ACT Wealth recommend a broker-dealer/custodian
for execution and/or custodial services (exclusive of those clients that may direct ACT
Wealth to use a specific broker-dealer/custodian), ACT Wealth generally recommends that
investment management accounts be maintained with the qualified custodian. Prior to
engaging ACT Wealth to provide investment management services, the client will be
required to enter into a formal Investment Advisory Agreement with ACT Wealth setting
forth the terms and conditions under which ACT Wealth shall manage the client's assets,
and a separate custodial/clearing agreement with each designated broker-dealer/custodian.
Factors that ACT Wealth considers in recommending a qualified custodian include
historical relationship with ACT Wealth, financial strength, reputation, execution
capabilities, pricing, research, and service. Although the commissions and/or transaction
fees paid by ACT Wealth's clients shall comply with ACT Wealth's duty to obtain best
execution, a client may pay a commission that is higher than another qualified broker-
dealer might charge to effect the same transaction where ACT Wealth determines, in good
faith, that the commission/transaction fee is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services received. In seeking best execution, the determinative
factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best
qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a broker-dealer services,
including the value of research provided, execution capability, commission rates, and
responsiveness. Accordingly, although ACT Wealth will seek competitive rates, it may not
necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for client account transactions. The
brokerage commissions or
transaction fees charged by the designated broker-
dealer/custodian are exclusive of, and in addition to, ACT Wealth's investment
management fee. ACT Wealth’s best execution responsibility is qualified if securities that
it purchases for client accounts are mutual funds that trade at net asset value as determined
at the daily market close.
1. Research and Additional Benefits
Although not a material consideration when determining whether to recommend that a
client utilize the services of a particular broker-dealer/custodian, ACT Wealth
generally receives from the qualified custodian (or an investment platform, unaffiliated
investment manager, and/or mutual fund sponsor) without cost (and/or at a discount)
support services and/or products, certain of which assist ACT Wealth to better monitor
and service client accounts maintained at such institutions. Included within the support
services that may be obtained by ACT Wealth may be investment-related research,
pricing information and market data, software and other technology that provide access
to client account data, compliance and/or practice management-related publications,
discounted or gratis consulting services, discounted and/or gratis attendance at
conferences, meetings, and other educational and/or social events, marketing support,
computer hardware and/or software and/or other products used by ACT Wealth in
furtherance of its investment advisory business operations.
As indicated above, certain of the support services and/or products that may be received
generally assist ACT Wealth in managing and administering client accounts. Others
11
do not directly provide such assistance, but rather assist ACT Wealth to manage and
further develop its business enterprise.
ACT Wealth’s clients do not pay more for investment transactions effected and/or
assets maintained with the qualified custodian as a result of this arrangement. There is
no corresponding commitment made by ACT Wealth to the qualified custodian or any
other entity to invest any specific amount or percentage of client assets in any specific
mutual funds, securities or other investment products as a result of the above
arrangement.
ACT Wealth’s Chief Compliance Officer, Kally Alkire, remains available to
address any questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding the
above arrangement and any corresponding perceived conflict of interest such
arrangement creates.
2. ACT Wealth does not receive referrals from broker-dealers.
3. ACT Wealth does not generally accept directed brokerage arrangements (when a client
requires that account transactions be effected through a specific broker-dealer). In such
client directed arrangements, the client will negotiate terms and arrangements for their
account with that broker-dealer, and ACT Wealth will not seek better execution
services or prices from other broker-dealers or be able to "batch" the client's
transactions for execution through other broker-dealers with orders for other accounts
managed by ACT Wealth. As a result, client may pay higher commissions or other
transaction costs or greater spreads, or receive less favorable net prices, on transactions
for the account than would otherwise be the case.
Please Note: In the event that the client directs ACT Wealth to effect securities
transactions for the client's accounts through a specific broker-dealer, the client
correspondingly acknowledges that such direction may cause the accounts to incur
higher commissions or transaction costs than the accounts would otherwise incur had
the client determined to effect account transactions through alternative clearing
arrangements that may be available through ACT Wealth.
ACT Wealth’s Chief Compliance Officer, Kally Alkire, remains available to
address any questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding the
above arrangement.
Item 13
Review of Accounts
A. For those clients to whom ACT Wealth provides investment supervisory services, account
reviews are conducted on an ongoing basis by ACT Wealth's Principals and
representatives. All investment supervisory clients are advised that it remains their
responsibility to advise ACT Wealth of any changes in their investment objectives and/or
financial situation. All clients (in person or via telephone) are encouraged to review
financial planning issues (to the extent applicable), investment objectives and account
performance with ACT Wealth on an annual basis.
12
B. ACT Wealth generally conducts account reviews on an other than periodic basis upon the
occurrence of a triggering event, such as a change in client investment objectives and/or
financial situation, market corrections and client request.
C. Clients are provided, at least quarterly, with written transaction confirmation notices and
regular written summary account statements directly from the broker-dealer/custodian
and/or program sponsor for the client accounts. ACT Wealth may also provide a written
periodic report summarizing account activity and performance.
Item 14
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. As referenced in Item 12.A.1 above, ACT Wealth receives an indirect economic benefit
from the qualified custodian. ACT Wealth, without cost (and/or at a discount), receives
support services and/or products from the qualified custodian.
ACT Wealth’s clients do not pay more for investment transactions effected and/or assets
maintained at the qualified custodian as a result of this arrangement. There is no
corresponding commitment made by ACT Wealth to the qualified custodian or any other
entity to invest any specific amount or percentage of client assets in any specific mutual
funds, securities or other investment products as a result of the above arrangement.
ACT Wealth’s Chief Compliance Officer, Kally Alkire, remains available to address
any questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding the above
arrangement and any corresponding perceived conflict of interest any such
arrangement create.
B. When supervised and non-supervised persons make prospective client referrals, ACT
Wealth will compensate that supervised/non-supervised person if the prospect becomes a
client. Clients that are referred to ACT by promoters will not pay fees in addition to other
clients not referred by a promoter.
Item 15
Custody
ACT Wealth shall have the ability to have its advisory fee for each client debited by the
custodian on a quarterly basis. Clients are provided, at least quarterly, with written
transaction confirmation notices and regular written summary account statements directly
from the broker-dealer/custodian and/or program sponsor for the client accounts. ACT
Wealth may also provide a written periodic report summarizing account activity and
performance.
Clients who have their advisory fees debited directly from their custodial accounts are
urged to compare any written statement provided by ACT Wealth with the account
statements received from the account custodian to ensure that the proper advisory fee has
been deducted from their custodial account. Please also note that the account custodian
does not verify the accuracy of the advisory fee calculation.
Item 16
Investment Discretion
13
The client can determine to engage ACT Wealth to provide investment advisory services
on a discretionary basis. Prior to ACT Wealth assuming discretionary authority over a
client’s account, the client shall be required to execute Investment Advisory Agreement,
naming ACT Wealth as the client’s attorney and agent in fact, granting ACT Wealth full
authority to buy, sell, or otherwise effect investment transactions involving the assets in
the client’s name found in the discretionary account.
Clients who engage ACT Wealth on a discretionary basis may, at anytime, impose
restrictions, in writing, on ACT Wealth’s discretionary authority. (i.e. limit the
types/amounts of particular securities purchased for their account, exclude the ability to
purchase securities with an inverse relationship to the market, limit or proscribe ACT
Wealth’s use of margin, ect).
Item 17
Voting Client Securities
A. ACT Wealth does not vote client proxies. Clients maintain exclusive responsibility for: (1)
directing the manner in which proxies solicited by issuers of securities beneficially owned
by the client shall be voted, and (2) making all elections relative to any mergers,
acquisitions, tender offers, bankruptcy proceedings or other type events pertaining to the
client’s investment assets.
B. Clients will receive their proxies or other solicitations directly from their custodian. Clients
may contact ACT Wealth to discuss any questions they have with a particular solicitation.
Item 18
Financial Information
A. ACT Wealth does not solicit fees of more than $1,200, per client, six months or more in
advance.
B. ACT Wealth is unaware of any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its
ability to meet its contractual commitments relating to its discretionary authority over
certain client accounts.
C. ACT Wealth has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition.
ANY QUESTIONS: ACT Wealth’s Chief Compliance Officer, Kally Alkire,
remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have
regarding the above disclosures and arrangements.
