Description of Firm

a limited liability company ("LLC") under the laws of the State of Texas. We have been providing
investment advisory services since 8/17/2009. We are primarily owned by Ali Nasser.
The following paragraphs describe our services and fees. Refer to the description of each investment
advisory service listed below for information on how we tailor our advisory services to your individual
needs. As used in this brochure, the words "we," "our," and "us" refer to AltruVista LLC and the words
"you," "your," and "client" refer to you as either a client or prospective client of our firm.
In providing account management services, we do not accept client restrictions on the specific
securities or the types of securities that may be held in your account.
Types of Advisory Services
As a solicitor, we refer potential clients to an unaffiliated registered investment advisers. We will not
provide any investment advisory services to the client. The unaffiliated registered investment
advisers are responsible for individual client suitability and portfolio management on an initial and
ongoing basis. Clients should review the most recent relevant brochures and disclosure documents for
each unaffiliated registered investment adviser that their applicable programs and the compensation to
be paid by you and what portion of the compensation is received by us for our solicitation services and
the association between our Firm and the unaffiliated registered investment advisers. In no event
shall AltruVista LLC participate in the management of client accounts or render investment advice to
clients on behalf of the third party investment adviser. Clients are under no obligation to utilize the
services of the advisor to whom they are referred. Clients will sign an investment advisory agreement
with the unaffiliated registered investment adviser. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in
certain securities in accordance with the provisions of their agreement.
Unaffiliated advisory firms for which we act as a solicitor include, but are not limited to:
• Sequoia Financial Advisors, LLC ("Sequoia Financial") (CRD # 304388)
Assets Under Management
AltruVista LLC operates as a solicitor and does not have investment advisory clients; therefore, there
are no assets under management at our Firm.
Item 5 Fees and Compensation
Solicitor Fee
The fees payable to us for these referral services depend upon the fee arrangement between our Firm
and an unaffiliated registered investment adviser to whom you are referred. We will receive a portion
of unaffiliated registered investment adviser's ongoing account management fees as compensation for
our solicitation services. Our compensation may differ depending upon the individual agreement with
the unaffiliated registered investment advisor and will be up to 50% of your advisory fees. Your fee is
not higher because you have been referred to the unaffiliated registered investment advisor. We will
receive a fee from the unaffiliated investment advisor for as long as you remain a client of the
unaffiliated registered investment advisor.
The advisory fee you pay to unaffiliated registered investment adviser is established and payable in
accordance with the brochure provided by unaffiliated registered investment adviser. These fees may
or may not be negotiable as outlined in the unaffiliated registered investment advisor's brochure. The
unaffiliated registered investment adviser typically charges an annual fee based on the assets under
4
management or financial planning scope of services, and we will receive a percentage of the fee paid
to the unaffiliated registered investment adviser on an ongoing basis, for as long as you remain a client
of the unaffiliated registered investment adviser. Since we will receive fee for the referral, a conflict of
interest exists, as we have an incentive to recommend that you use the unaffiliated registered
investment adviser as your investment adviser.
Additional Fees and Expenses

charged in addition to your investment advisory fee. We do not share in any portion of these additional
