Assets Under Management
We offer two (2) types of investment management: Portfolio Management and Portfolio Monitoring. All Portfolio
Management accounts are managed on a discretionary basis – we do not manage accounts on a non-
discretionary basis. Portfolio Monitoring accounts are managed by independent third-party money managers
(“Independent Portfolio Managers”) and we will evaluate their performance and suggest changes if they are not
effectively meeting your investment needs.
As of December 31, 2024, our assets under management totaled:
Discretionary Managed Accounts
$568,236,461
Non-Discretionary Accounts
$448,398,262
What We Do
We provide financial solutions that stress the importance of you making fiscally responsible decisions and
disciplined economic choices. We help you manage the complexities that wealth creates using estate
planning, risk management, investment, and tax planning strategies, and philanthropic giving, to try to preserve
assets for today’s needs, tomorrow’s dreams, and a strategy focused on building a lasting legacy for future
generations.
The focus of all our investment advice begins with a plan to identify your standards of living and quality of life
expectations. We will accomplish this through an initial discovery meeting where we will review the financial
documents you provide for discussion. Together questions will be asked, information shared, and an evaluation
made as to whether we should move to the next step. During the meeting, we will:
Learn about your core values and guiding principles.
Seek to understand your financial concerns and how you have been addressing them.
•
•
• Discover your financial objectives and what success looks like for you.
• Create an internal profile consisting of your concerns, objectives, relationships, values, interests, assets,
professional advisors and process preferences.
After the discovery meeting, should you choose to engage us for our wealth management services, we will begin
the process of identifying your life goals (i.e., core values, family, monetary needs, future plans, etc.). The best
advice we can offer is that success, achievement, and contentment in life have little to do with personal wealth
but are instead related to your life goals. We will make every effort to embrace these life goals and develop
economical solutions that reflect how you define true wealth.
Andina Capital Management, LLC’s comprehensive planning services include:

Comprehensive Planning
Planning is one of the most important tools successful people use to bridge unexpected events, to create an
extraordinary personal life, business career and the security needed in retirement years. However, such
planning requires a lifetime commitment, not only from you but from us as well, your financial planner.
Being Fiscally Responsible
Planning for your future, whether estate, financial, and/or tax planning, is being fiscally responsible. A well-
designed plan is a step-by-step process intended to identify and clarify purpose, personal and family core
values, needs, and priorities to align your financial decisions with your goals in all areas of your life and business.
Planning includes:
1. Arriving at a series of decisions and action items based on current and future financial circumstances and
defined goals and objectives.
2. Projecting the consequences of these decisions for you in the form of an economic plan – a working
blueprint; and,
3.
Implementing the protocols outlined in the plan geared to achieving the plan objectives.
Once complete, the plan, or working blueprint, becomes the benchmark that is used to help us evaluate where
you are in terms of your financial goals, needs, and objectives.
Estate, Financial & Tax Planning Components
All forms of planning are a mutually defined review, analysis and evaluation of your personal financial needs and
goals. In general, planning may encompass one or more of the following areas of financial need as
communicated by you:
Identification and clarification of personal and family core values, mission, vision, and goals.
Preparation of the financial plan, which encompasses your:
Liquidity and asset preservation needs.
• Current financial situation.
•
• Wealth accumulation and growth.
• Wealth distribution and transfer.
Planning may also include, but is not limited to, the following modules:
Financial Statements – Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Savings and Emergency Reserves
Asset Allocation and Investment Portfolio Analysis
Income Tax planning in collaboration with your tax advisor
Asset protection and Risk Management
Insurance Analysis
Retirement and Income Analysis

Estate, Financial & Tax Plan Process
Page 6 of 28 Disclosure Brochure
Form ADV: Part 2A
In the development of your unique plan, we will follow the six (6) step Financial Planning Practice Standards
process established by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. These steps are defined as follows:
Step 1: Establish and define the client-planner relationship.
The first step is to conduct an introductory discovery meeting. During this meeting, we will learn about each
other and whether we can work together to achieve your financial objectives. We will listen as you share your
needs, concerns, priorities, and what success looks like for you. We will in-turn, share how we can help you meet
your stated personal and financial objectives, and the responsibilities we have as a fiduciary to guide you on this
journey. In the end, we will explain the cost of completing the desired financial planning service for you to decide
whether you want to move forward with the next step in the planning process.
Step 2: Gather client data identifying both financial and personal goals and objectives.
In the second step of the planning process, we will learn more about you and what you want to achieve. This is
accomplished through personal interviews and questionnaires4, which are designed to address your unique
financial planning needs. You will have the opportunity to prioritize objectives and to remove from the process
any areas that do not apply to your circumstances. The time we invest listening and catering to your wants
and needs is critical for developing a strong financial planning foundation.
Step 3: Analyze and evaluate client financial status.
In this third step, we analyze the information you provide to determine your current financial situation and what
you should do to meet your goals. Depending on the services you request, this might include analyzing: (i) your
assets, liabilities and cash flow; (ii) your current insurance coverage and investments; and (iii) your tax
strategies and estate planning documents.
Step 4: Develop and present financial planning recommendations and/or alternatives.
Once the analysis has been completed, we will begin formal documentation of your goals and objectives. We
will define the plan as a road map (a series of blueprints) designed to take you from where you currently are
financially, to where you want to be at some point in the future. This is the creative portion of the process. There
are usually several ways to accomplish a given goal. The objective, however, is to integrate financial
instruments into a plan that you will be comfortable executing. In some cases, the drafting of the plan reveals
the need for us to help you reconcile the gap between your expectations and your financial realities. Once a
viable plan has been drafted, it is presented to you and reviewed. The draft and review process may be
repeated until you are satisfied with the financial plan.
Step 4 completes the planning process. There will be additional costs for you to implement and monitor your
plan as outlined under steps 5 and 6. You have the choice to allow us to implement your financial, tax & estate
plan or you can use another outside professional.
Step 5: Implement the planning recommendations.
An estate, financial and/or tax plan is of limited value if it is not put into action. Accordingly, we assist you in
implementing 5 the plan. The action plan schedule provides you with a list of tasks and deadlines designed to
ensure that you put your plan into action. The following are some examples of implementation:
Drafting of appropriate estate documents (performed in conjunction with an estate attorney).
Purchasing of various insurance policies (provided by our licensed insurance agents or another
independent agent of your choice).
4 The information we gather from you through personal interviews and questionnaires is vital for us to effectively advise you on your unique financial needs
and help you plan for your future. Electing to dismiss certain requested documents or respond to questions with limited input can put us at a disadvantage
and handicap our ability to successfully meet your financial expectations. Therefore, if you want the best advice we can offer in designing a financial plan
or with any portfolio management, you should make every effort to provide us with detailed personal information and be as accurate with your responses
as you possibly can.
5 Implementing the recommendations made in an estate, financial and/or tax plan often requires consultation or coordination with one or more outside
professionals (e.g. attorneys, CPAs, insurance agents, and securities representatives). All personal and private information received from you will be kept
entirely confidential, not only by us, but by the outside professionals as well. Your confidential information will be disclosed to third parties only with your
consent or as may be permitted or required by law.

Form ADV: Part 2A
Providing Investment advisory services that will include preparation of an IPS and implementation of your
asset allocation strategy (performed by us, or another investment adviser/broker-dealer of your choice).
Adopting and monitoring a personal budget.
Ongoing income tax planning (prepared by an independent Certified Public Accountant or tax accountant
of your choice).
Step 6: Monitor the planning recommendations.
Once the plan has been built and the recommendations have been implemented it is critical that these
recommendations be monitored on a continuing basis to ensure that they remain consistent with your financial
parameters. Material changes in your personal circumstances, the general economy, changes in the way
you want your investments allocated, or tax law changes are some of the reasons why the recommendations
should be reviewed periodically and possibly adjusted. Continued monitoring of established personal budgets
and the continued effects of taxation on the plan are assessed regularly at your option per an Annual Review.
For information on our fees for preparing a financial plan, see “Estate, Financial & Tax Planning Fee” under Item 5
- “Fees & Compensation.”
Business Succession Planning
You have diligently and tirelessly grown your business, achieved great success while helping customers,
employees, vendors, and others to be successful. Addressing the sale or transfer of your business should start
several years before you intend to carry out the transaction. Proper planning allows you to explore the multiple
options that are available and prepare your business to provide the ultimate payout. ACM can help obtain a
formal business valuation and develop a business pitch-deck; these will provide you with valuable information
regarding your business and will assist a potential buyer to understand your business. We guide you in building
the necessary team to assist in the process; CPAs, attorneys with mergers and acquisition experience and
investment bankers or business brokers. Proper planning and knowledge will help you negotiate the best terms
of the sale of your business. It is not just about getting the highest sale price; many factors must be considered
to optimize this transaction for you.
Employer Retirement Plans
ACM provides retirement plan consulting services to employer plan sponsors on an ongoing basis. Generally,
such consulting services consist of assisting employer plan sponsors in establishing, monitoring and reviewing
their company's participant-directed retirement plan. In providing services for retirement plan consulting, our
firm does not provide any advisory services with respect to the following types of assets: employer securities,
real estate (excluding real estate funds and publicly traded REITS), participant loans, non-publicly traded
securities or assets, other illiquid investments, or brokerage window programs (collectively, “Excluded Assets”).
All retirement plan consulting services shall be in compliance with the applicable state laws regulating
retirement consulting services. This applies to client accounts that are retirement or other employee benefit
plans (“Plan”) governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). If the
client accounts are part of a Plan, and our firm accepts appointment to provide services to such accounts, our
firm acknowledges its fiduciary standard within the meaning of Section 3(21) or 3(38) of ERISA as designated by
the Retirement Plan Consulting Agreement with respect to the provision of services described therein.
Investment Management Services
Moving forward from the financial planning sessions, if you engage us for investment management services, we
will design a portfolio allocation strategy, that will include preparation of an IPS, and will be based on your
unique investment parameters and risk tolerance levels.
Page 8 of 28 Disclosure Brochure
Form ADV: Part 2A
Portfolio Management
Our portfolio management strategies focus on designing an overall portfolio to achieve your investment goals 6.
Depending on your eligibility and needs, we offer a diversified allocation, including but not limited to, Equities
(for example, ETFs/ETNs and stocks), Fixed Income, Structured Notes, Investment Company products (“mutual
funds”), Independent Portfolio Managers (see “Portfolio Monitoring” below) and Andina Branded or Affiliated
Funds (including Private Real Estate, Private Equity and Private Credit).
ACM manages Andina Branded Funds and has an active role in the investment committees of the Affiliated
Funds. Our responsibility to you in recommending Andina Branded Funds or Affiliated Funds will be to:
Recommend only investment strategies that fit your management criteria and risk tolerance level while
ensuring you meet the minimum requirements of the investment.
Suggest changes, if necessary, as market factors and your personal goals dictate.
Handle all administrative and clerical duties as may be required by the Andina Branded and Affiliated
Funds to service your account, though they will provide you updated information, statements and other
correspondence directly.
Portfolio Monitoring
Any Independent Portfolio Managers we may recommend to manage a portion of your portfolio will implement
an investment strategy that correlates best with your investment parameters. Under the arrangements with
Independent Portfolio Managers, we are not involved in the day-to-day management of your portfolio assets.
Our responsibility to both you and the Independent Portfolio Manager we direct to manage your account will be
to:
Recommend only Independent Portfolio Managers whose investment strategies fit your management
criteria and risk tolerance level while ensuring you meet the minimum requirements of the Independent
Portfolio Manager to open an account.
Evaluate the Independent Portfolio Manager’s investment returns and performance expectations.
Suggest changes in an Independent Portfolio Manager, if necessary, as market factors and your personal
goals dictate.
Handle all administrative and clerical duties as required by the Independent Portfolio Manager to service
your account since they will have little or no direct contact with you.
Additional information about the Investment Management Fees can be found under “Investment Management
Services Fees” in Item 5 - “Fees & Compensation”. How we evaluate Independent Portfolio Managers is
discussed in “Analysis of Independent Portfolio Managers” under Item 8 - “Methods of Analysis, Investment
Strategies & Risk of Loss”. Private Funds, including conflicts of interest and strategy descriptions are discussed
in under Item 10 – “Other Financial Industry Activities & Affiliations” and “Pooled Investment Vehicle
Compensation” under Item 14 – “Client Referrals & Other Compensation”
Consolidated Reporting
Consolidated Reporting is a delivery system whereby statements and other data from multiple sources (i.e.,
brokerage, IRA, variable annuity accounts, managed accounts, etc.) are collected and consolidated into a
single quarterly report for your review and consideration. You would be responsible for supplying direct access
to all valuation statements or providing the values for the accounts on a monthly basis.
6 You may, at any time, impose restrictions in writing on the securities we may recommend (i.e., limit the types/amounts of a particular security purchased for your
account, etc.).

Discovery Meeting
Before our discovery meeting, we will request you bring financial documents for us to review and discuss. The
objectives we strive to accomplish with you during this meeting are to:
Diagnose your current financial need.
Address your financial concerns and answer your questions on how we can assist you.
Recommend financial resolutions aimed at lowering costs, reducing risks, increasing expected returns,
and/or increasing tax efficiency to improve the likelihood of successfully achieving your goal; and,
Explain the benefits of financial planning and how a comprehensive evaluation of wealth management
needs is beneficial beyond just managing your investable assets.
We do not charge a fee for the initial discovery meeting; we believe our years of experience and knowledge sells
itself. If, however, you wish no further interaction with us, you will be responsible for implementing any
recommendations coming out of the discovery meeting. Once this meeting is over, our financial collaboration
will be concluded, and we are not responsible for implementing any further advice or for any on-going
supervision, monitoring, and/or reporting.
Comprehensive Planning
We have two payment options for our Comprehensive Planning:
1. A negotiated flat fee, from $500 to $200,000 7, paid annually or quarterly. OR
2. An ongoing, negotiated fee, at a maximum of 0.50% annually (charged quarterly, in advance) on all
assets under management, including those that fall under Portfolio Management and Portfolio Monitoring,
Andina Branded Funds and Andina Affiliated Funds (see “Investment Management Services” under Item 4
– “Advisory Business”). This option is only available if the minimum account of $250,000 is opened,
unless otherwise negotiated.
The fee will be fully disclosed in the agreement at the time of signing. This fee will include the cost to review your
financial information and prepare a comprehensive financial plan.
Modular Plans
If you desire only modular planning - just one or a few of the items listed under “Estate, Financial & Tax Planning
Components” the minimum fee will be $1,000. All additional fees will be predetermined in consultation with you
and presented in a written proposal or engagement letter, with a completely itemized list of the core area(s) of
focus.
Annual Reviews
It is important to note that planning is dynamic – never static. Therefore, it must be periodically re- evaluated. A
financial plan is a roadmap that is only as good as how well it reflects your current financial position to then
guide you on a clear path to a future financial situation. Whether you are a planning client and/or Investment
Management client, annual reviews are designed to systematically identify and address any changing
circumstances in your life.
Once the initial comprehensive financial planning services have been completed, we will establish future
“Annual Review” dates for your future reviews. The Annual Reviews generally occur after the first anniversary
though they may consist of two or three visits during the calendar year.
7 Rarely will a fee exceed those costs outlined in the Agreement. However, there can be instances where we did not contract with you to perform a particular task
and therefore, we will notify you of the additional cost prior to beginning such services.
Page 10 of 28 Disclosure Brochure
Form ADV: Part 2A
Annual Review Fee
If the Comprehensive Planning fee chosen was the negotiated flat fee, paid annually, the Annual Review Fee will
be based on the needs and objectives, determined over the 12-month period preceding the Annual Review date
and any other information collected at the Annual Review. This fee will be documented prior to it becoming
payable. It will be billed and payable no earlier than 12 months after the original agreement has been signed.
Significant changes in your life circumstances since the date of your previously prepared plan could result in a
higher than expected fee. All fees will be agreed upon in writing.
If either the Comprehensive Planning fee paid quarterly or the ongoing, negotiated fee, at a maximum of 0.50%
annually on all assets under management was chosen, the annual review fee is already included and will not
be billed separately.
Termination of Comprehensive or Modular Planning
You can terminate the agreement, in writing, at any time prior to the presentation of any final planning
documents. If the Comprehensive Planning fee chosen was the upfront, negotiated flat fee, we will bill you at an
hourly rate of $500 for the time spent in the design of such financial documents (minimum 2 hours or $1,000)
through the date of termination. All fees collected in excess of $1,000 or those billed for the time spent if more
than $1000 will be returned to you. Once the financial plan has been completed and presented to you,
termination of the Financial Planning Agreement is no longer an option.
If either the Comprehensive Planning fee paid quarterly or the ongoing, negotiated fee, at a maximum of 0.50%
annually on all assets under management was chosen, that fee will cease to be charged as of the first day of
the quarter following written notice (January 1, April 1, July 1 or October 1). No fees will be returned.
Investment Management Services Fees
Investment Management Services are provided on an asset-based fee arrangement (“asset management
fee”). The asset management fee will be calculated at a maximum rate of 2.00% annually, in advance based on
the quarter ending market value of your Portfolio Management account(s), your Portfolio Monitoring account(s)
and Affiliated Funds, excluding any Andina Branded Funds8 (hereinafter referred to as your “Billable Portfolio”).
ACM has identified a number of investments to provide an alternative to holding cash for shorter periods of
time, affording the opportunity to earn yield over that of just holding cash. If your Billable Portfolio includes
“transfer/cash management” account(s) any cash, cash equivalent or “Seed” investments will be charged at
0.20% annually, calculated in advance based on the quarter ending market value of the cash, cash equivalent
or “Seed” investment value and all other assets will be charged at the agreed asset management fee,
calculated in advance based on the quarter ending market value of those positions.
Asset and Short-Term Cash Management Fees will be calculated by taking the applicable annual rate divided
by the numbers of days in the year, multiplied by the number of days in the upcoming quarter (i.e., Annual
Rate%/365*9 days in the 2nd quarter).
Andina Branded Funds pay ACM a management fee up to maximum of 1.25% annually. Their general partner is
Andina Partners, LLC, a Utah limited liability company organized in May 2012. See the applicable Confidential
Private Placement Memorandum (“PPM”) for more details. See also “Potential Conflicts Working with Affiliated
Entities” in Item 10 – “Other Financial Industry Activities & Affiliations”. No asset management fee will be
charged on these investments.
The Andina Affiliated funds posted fee is 2% management fee on committed capital, and a performance fee
after limited partners receive a preferred return (these terms are fully described in the applicable Private
Placement Memorandum (“PPM”)).
8 Currently the Andina Branded Funds are the Andina Private Credit Strategies, LP and the Copperstone Multi-Series IDF, LP. Currently the applicable Andina
Affiliated Funds are those managed by Mercatus Partners, LLC, and K Fund Capital Management, LLC and the AP Innovation Fund GP, LLC
Page 11 of 28 Disclosure Brochure
Form ADV: Part 2A
Brett Belliston and Eric Barlow receive a proportionate share of the performance fees, based on their ownership
in the applicable Andina Affiliated Funds, which ranges from 25.0% to 33.3% each. See also “Potential Conflicts
Working with Affiliated Entities” in Item 10 – “Other Financial Industry Activities & Affiliations”.
We generally require a minimum initial investment of $50,000 to open a managed account; however, we retain
the right to waive or reduce this minimum if we feel circumstances are warranted.
Protocols for Investment Management Services
The following protocols establish how we handle your Portfolio Management and Portfolio Monitoring accounts
and what you should expect when it comes to (i) managing your account; (ii) your bill for investment services;
(iii) deposits and withdrawing funds from your account(s); and (iv) other fees charged to your account(s).
Discretion
We will establish discretionary trading authority on all Portfolio Management accounts to execute securities
transactions without your prior consent or advice. However, you may, at any time, impose restrictions, in writing,
on our discretionary authority (i.e., limit the types/amounts of particular securities purchased for your account,
etc.).
Billing, Deposits and Withdrawals
Asset management fees for Portfolio Management accounts will be deducted first from any money market
funds or cash balances of the account on which the fees were calculated. If such assets are insufficient to
satisfy payment of such fees, a portion of the account assets will be liquidated to cover the fees.
Asset management fees for Portfolio Monitoring accounts will be deducted from the 1) the transfer/cash
management account, first from any cash balances or money market funds of the account; or 2) any other
account so designated by your advisor. If such assets are insufficient to satisfy payment of such fees, a portion
of the cash account or other account assets will be liquidated to cover the fees. If there is not sufficient liquidity,
an invoice will be issued.
For new Portfolio Management accounts and Portfolio Monitoring accounts opened in mid-quarter or for
additional investments made mid-quarter, our fee will be based on a pro-rated calculation of your assets to be
managed for the current calendar quarter. Note that the calculation of fees will be based on the most recent fee
rate associated with the account, not necessarily the fee rate applied upon account opening.
For assets you may withdraw during the quarter, we make pro-rated refunds of our quarterly asset management
fee. Those refunds will first be applied as an adjustment to any outstanding fees payable and second returned
to the account from which they were originally withdrawn. Note that the calculation of fees will be based on the
most recent fee rate associated with the account, not necessarily the fee rate applied upon original fee
calculations.
Fee Exclusions: Custodians
The above fees for our Investment Management Services are exclusive of any charges imposed by the custodial
firm who has custody of your account; including, but not limited to: (i) any Exchange/SEC fees; (ii) certain
transfer taxes; (iii) service or portfolio account charges, such as, postage/handling fees, electronic fund and
wire transfer fees, auction fees, debit balances, margin interest, certain odd-lot differentials, and mutual fund
short-term redemption fees; and (iv) brokerage and execution costs associated with securities held in your
managed account. There can also be other fees charged to your account that are unaffiliated with our management
services.
Fee Exclusions: Mutual Funds and ETFs/ETNs
In addition, all fees paid to us for Investment Management services are separate from any fees and expenses
charged on mutual fund shares by the investment company or by the investment advisor managing the mutual
fund portfolios. These expenses generally include management fees and various fund expense, such as 12b-1 fees.
Redemption fees, account fees, purchase fees, contingent deferred sales charges, and other sales load charges
Page 12 of 28 Disclosure Brochure
Form ADV: Part 2A
may occur but are the exception within managed portfolio accounts at institutional custodians. A complete
explanation of these expenses charged by the mutual funds is contained in each mutual fund’s prospectus. You
are encouraged to carefully read the fund prospectus.
Fee Exclusions: Portfolio Monitoring Accounts
Portfolio Manager Platform – Account assets maintained with the Independent Portfolio Manager under their
master account with their custodial firm will generally handle the billing associated with their investments. Our
asset management fee will be charged in addition to their fees. In some cases, the Portfolio Manager will share
a portion of their management fee with us, paying ACM directly. In those cases, we will not charge our asset
management fee.
Separately Managed Accounts – Under a Separately Managed Account (“SMA”) arrangement, the
Independent Portfolio Manager will be given access to your account maintained under our master account with
our custodial firm to manage the agreed upon portion of your assets. The Independent Portfolio Manager will
collect their own management fee. Our asset management fee will be charged in addition to their fees.
Independent Portfolio Managers: For Independent Portfolio Managers who are not managing your portfolio
under their portfolio platform or an SMA arrangement, you will want to consult that Independent Portfolio
Manager’s Disclosure Brochure for their policies on how they will handle your account; such as, billing, deposits
and withdrawals, fee exclusions, termination, and any other unique advisory costs associated with their service
since we do not take discretion over the management of your account. We will discuss these arrangements with
you when we go to open your account with an Independent Portfolio Manager; however, you are still
encouraged to read their terms on your own. Our asset management fee will be charged in addition to their
fees.
All Portfolio Managers that fall within the Portfolio Monitoring category will have their own fee schedules
disclosed in their Disclosure Brochures (the Portfolio Manager’s ADV Part 2A: Firm Brochure or Part 2A Appendix 1:
Wrap Fee Program Brochure), which we will provide you prior to, or at the same time as, opening an account.
For more information on the custodial firm that we will recommend to custody your portfolio accounts, see Item
12 - “Brokerage Practices.”
Termination of Investment Management Services
Either party (you or us) may terminate our Investment Management Services by written notification to the other
party at any time, thereby terminating the Investment Management Services Agreement. Such written
notification should include the date the termination will go into effect along with any final instructions on the
account (i.e., liquidate the account, finalize all transactions and/or cease all investment activity).
In the event termination does not fall on the last day of a calendar quarter, any refund of prepaid quarterly
asset management fees must be negotiated. Once the termination of Investment Management Services has
been implemented, neither party has any obligation to the other – we no longer earn asset management fees
or give investment advice and you become responsible for making your own investment decisions.
Consolidated Reporting Fee
Consolidated Reporting is a delivery system whereby statements and other data from multiple sources are
collected and consolidated into a single quarterly report for your review and consideration.
This service is included in the asset management fee for your Billable Portfolio. However, if you desire to include
other accounts/investments not included in your Billable Portfolio on your quarterly reports, each account will
be charged a Consolidated Reporting Fee of 0.15% annually based on its reported quarter ending market value.
We also offer Consolidated Reporting for your entire portfolio independent of Investment Management Services,
allowing you to retain your current advisor relationships, but receive comprehensive portfolio information. Each
account included will be charged a Consolidated Reporting Fee of 0.15% annually based on its reported quarter-
end market value.

Two of the Managing Members of ACM, Eric S. Barlow and J. Brett Belliston, serve as investment committee
members and non-managing partners of several Affiliated Funds.
The fee structure for some of the Affiliated Funds includes a performance-based component. For you to
participate in those that charge a performance fee you must be defined by at least one as follows:
1. A “qualified client” as defined in Rule 205-3 under the 1940 Investment Adviser Act;
2. A “qualified purchaser” under Section 2(a)(51) of the 1940 Investment Company Act.
If you do not meet either of these qualifications, you are disqualified from investing in those private funds with a
performance fee. However, should it be determined that you do fit the criteria to invest in one or more of the
investment funds, and you express interest to invest, a Confidential Private Placement Memorandum (“PPM”) will
be provided. This PPM discloses all possibilities for conflicts of interest and inherent risks, which are necessary for
you to make an informed decision.
You are under no obligation to invest in any of the private investment funds. However, if you do choose to invest,
you also have the right to rescind your subscription and receive a full refund of your investment within three (3)
business days after entering into a Subscription Agreement.

METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES & RISK OF
T
E
M
8
LOSS
Our Investment Management Services are designed to build long-term wealth in your portfolio while attempting to
preserve capital and mitigate risk through diversifying investment types and asset classes. Some diversification
elements included in individual models are stocks, bonds, and/or, ETFs/ETNs and/or mutual funds and
structured notes. Those models could include multiple asset classes, such as fixed income, domestic and
international equities. Diversification can also be achieved by adding different investment product types which
can include Andina Branded Funds, Andina Affiliated Funds, and Independent Portfolio Managers, each with
their own objective and asset class focus.
Methods of Analysis
In analyzing any element to include in your portfolio, we use a combination of analytical techniques to gather
information and to guide us in our allocation decisions.
Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysis considers efficiency ratios, growth rates, enterprise value, economic conditions, earnings,
cash flow, book value projections, industry outlook, politics (as it relates to investments), historical data, price-
earnings ratios, dividends, general level of interest rates, company management, debt ratios, and tax benefits.
Fundamental analysis provides us with a broad long-term view of a security that begins with determining a
company’s value and the strength of its financials.
RISKS – Fundamental analysis places greater value on the long-term financial structure and health of a
company, which may have little to no bearing on what is happening in the marketplace. Investing in companies
Page 14 of 28 Disclosure Brochure
Form ADV: Part 2A
with sound financial data/strength and a history of healthy returns can be a good long-term investment to hold
in your portfolio; however, such fundamental data does not always correlate to the trading value of the stock on
the exchanges. In the short-term, the stock can decrease in value as investors trade in other market sectors.
Technical Analysis
Technical analysis utilizes current and historical pricing information to help us identify trends in the broader
domestic and foreign equity and fixed income markets, and in the underlying asset themselves. This may
involve the use of various technical indicators, such as moving averages and trend-lines, among others.
Technical analysis is short-term focusing on the statistics generated by market activity.
RISKS – Technical analysis is charting the historical market data of a stock, taking into consideration current
market conditions, to forecast the direction of a future stock price rather than using fundamental tools for
evaluating a company’s financial strength. Technical analysis focuses on the price movement of a security
trading in the marketplace. This is an ideal tool for short-term investing in identifying ideal market entry/exit
points. However, no market indicator is absolutely reliable, and your investment portfolio can underperform in
the short-term should the market indicators be incorrect.
Cyclical Analysis
Cyclical analysis is the statistical analysis of specific events occurring at a sufficient number of relatively
predictable intervals that they can be forecasted into the future. Cyclical analysis asserts that cyclical forces
drive price movements in the financial markets.
RISKS – Cycles may invert or disappear and there is no expectation that this type of analysis will pinpoint
turning points and should be used in conjunction with other methods of analysis.
Analysis of Independent Portfolio Managers
Independent Portfolio Managers are used in our Portfolio Monitoring services as well as within our Andina
Affiliated Funds. By using Independent Portfolio Managers, we shift the focus of our selection from Fundamental
and Technical Analysis to balancing investment return and risk shown by each Independent Portfolio Manager.
Using these independent portfolio managers also enables us to spread risk among broader asset classes and
strategies outside ACM’s internal experience or capacity.
The specific methods of analysis and risk management of each Independent Portfolio Manager’s strategy will
be handled at the discretion of that Independent Portfolio Manager.
Our analysis of new Independent Portfolio Managers can include some or all the steps of the due diligence
process, summarized below. When we use an Independent Portfolio Manager inside an Andina Branded Fund,
we do not move onto the next step in the process unless the requirements of the previous steps have been met.
1. We do a high-level review of the strategy, length of history, track record and geographical focus. The
2.
Independent Portfolio Manager’s investment performance should show a competitive advantage relative
to their peer group in both up and down markets. We need to determine at the outset if it will add
anything to what we already do9.
If appropriate, we send a preliminary screening questionnaire and request the most current performance
history, fact sheet and marketing materials. This questionnaire was designed to summarize their strategy
and address any minimum requirements needed to proceed with any more due diligence. Some of those
criteria are experience of main trading manager(s), stability of strategy, lockups, minimum investment
requirements, redemption policies, use of leverage, types and locations of investments, timing of
K1s/1099s and audits.
3. The Investment Committee reviews the questionnaire, and a member will proceed with a preliminary
conversation with the Independent Portfolio Manager.
4. We perform background checks on key personnel and the business entity.
9 Note that in cases where we have had a long-term business/investment relationship with an Independent Portfolio Managers the due diligence process
will be truncated to include just a strategy review and investment terms to ensure the strategy will add benefit to any portfolio.
Page 15 of 28 Disclosure Brochure
Form ADV: Part 2A
5. We engage reputable outside researchers or specialists to delve deeper into this short-listed Independent
Portfolio Manager to eliminate any biases we may have developed during our initial review and to ensure
we have engaged someone whose primary focus is on the manager with the expertise to review all facets
of their business, including staff and infrastructure, ability to support growth etc.
6. We review the reported results (or address any concerns that may arise during their process) and delve
further into any negatives they may have found, or we may have identified upon review of their report.
7. We do ongoing reviews of the approved Independent Portfolio Manager to monitor for style drift, under or
unexpected performance returns, manager changes, operation changes, etc. We do this through regular
internal and Independent Portfolio Manager meetings, document reviews (statements, letters, spec
sheets, audits, etc.). Should any of these events prove to be significant, we will redeem, where possible or
minimize future exposure to more illiquid investments.
RISKS –Independent Portfolio Manager vehicles are more complex than direct investing. In addition, they have
their own fee structures, which adds a layer of fees on top of our asset management fee. There can be other
risks associated with their structure such as, but not limited to, the unknown underlying investments,
unexpected tax consequences, liquidity risk, risk of unidentified style drift.
Investment Strategies
We are not bound to any specific investment strategy or ideology for the management of your portfolio; we
recommend your investment(s) based on your tolerance to risk and other mutually agreed upon factors.
Though not all investment strategies offered through our Investment Management Services are available to
every client, our goal with the investing strategy we propose will be to best match your risk tolerance with
providing diversification required to manage overall risk. We will attempt to balance earning money with a
disciplined management approach (regardless of strategy) without sacrificing long-term goals for short-term
gains. Our investing strategies may incorporate one, both, or none of these methodologies:
Asset Allocation
Asset Allocation is a broad term used to define the process of selecting a mix of asset classes and the efficient
allocation of capital to those assets by matching rates of return to a specified and quantifiable tolerance for
risk. From this, we may use more narrow and aggressive Asset Allocation derivatives.
Risk of Loss
A large risk to you is the risk that the value of your investment portfolio will decrease due to moves in the market.
This risk is referred to as the market risk factor, also known as variability or volatility risk. Other important risk
factors:
Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk affects the value of bonds more than stocks. Essentially, when the
interest rate on a bond begins to rise, the value (bond price) begins to drop; and vice versa, when interest
rates on a bond fall, the bond value rises.
Equity Risk – Equity risk is the risk that the value of your stocks will depreciate due to stock market
dynamics causing one to lose money.
Currency Risk – Currency risk is the risk that arises from the change in price of one currency against that of
another. Investment values in international securities can be affected by changes in exchange rates.
Inflation Risk – The reduction of purchasing power of investments over time.
Commodity Risk – Commodity risk refers to the uncertainties of future market values and the size of future
income caused by the fluctuation in the prices of commodities (i.e., grains, metals, food, electricity, etc).
Liquidity Risk-Liquidity Risk refers to the risk of being unable to quickly sell an asset due to private market
factors or other economic factors affecting asset liquidity. Liquidity risk can also result in unfavorable
pricing when exiting (i.e. not being able to quickly get out of an investment before the price drops
significantly).
The risk factors we have cited here are not intended to be an exhaustive list but are the most common risks your
portfolio will encounter. Other risks that we have not defined could be political, economic, strategy related, over-
Page 16 of 28 Disclosure Brochure
Form ADV: Part 2A
concentration, to name a few.
Notwithstanding these risk factors, the most important thing for you to understand is that regardless of how we
analyze securities, investment strategies, Independent Portfolio Managers, Private Investments etc. and how we
use the methodology guiding us in the management of your investment portfolio, investing involves a risk of
loss that you should be willing and prepared to bear. Furthermore, past market performance is no guarantee
that you will see equal or better future returns on your investment.

Potential Time Management Conflict
The aggregate time Mr. Barlow and Mr. Belliston devote to their obligations as General Partners of these funds
can range from 20% to 30% depending on their fiduciary management responsibilities and regulatory reporting
time constraints as part of their administrative duties. Mr. Barlow’s and Mr. Belliston’s responsibility to these
funds may occasionally create a time management conflict that you should consider. However, neither Mr.
Barlow nor Mr. Belliston feel their responsibilities to these funds will distract from their duty to manage your
investment portfolio.
Potential Conflicts Working with Affiliated Entities
Referrals to, from, and between ACM and any one of the funds’ General Partners listed above can create a
potential conflict of interest to Mr. Barlow’s and Mr. Belliston’s fiduciary duty to be impartial with their advice and
to keep your interests ahead of their own. As a Partner, or a member of the fund of private investment funds,
they can influence you to keep your investment activities in house. Therefore, before accepting Mr. Barlow’s or
Mr. Belliston’s recommendation to engage any of these affiliated companies, you may want to consider other
options to ensure the service you receive is comparable to the service you might receive elsewhere.
In all cases where Mr. Barlow or Mr. Belliston or ACM has ownership in Affiliated Funds offered through Mercatus
Partners LLC, Blue Field Income I GP, LLC or K Fund Capital Management, LLC, Mr. Barlow and Mr. Belliston typically
receive fees in the form performance fees based on their proportionate ownership percentage. These
compensation structures could provide an extra financial incentive to recommend those investments.
Regardless, ACM strives to serve your best interest and maintain our fiduciary responsibility by making you
aware of circumstances that could adversely affect the management of your account(s) in compliance with
the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Rule 275.206.

Investment Limitations and General Considerations
You may be solicited, along with other independent investors, to invest in one or more of these private investment
funds if you are defined as one of the following:
An “accredited investor”, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the 1933 Act;
A “qualified client” as defined in Rule 205-3 under the 1940 Investment Adviser Act; or
A “qualified purchaser” under Section 2(a)(51) of the 1940 Investment Company Act.
If you do not meet one of the three qualifications, you are disqualified from investing any of these private
investment funds. However, should it be determined that you do fit the criteria to invest in one or more of these
private funds, and you express interest to invest, a Confidential Private Placement Memorandum (“PPM”) will be
provided to you. The PPM discloses all possibilities for conflicts of interest and inherent risks, which are necessary
for you to make an informed decision.
You are under no obligation to invest in any of the private investment funds. However, if you do choose to invest,
you also have the right to rescind your subscription and receive a full refund of your investment within three (3)

how operating these funds creates a custody situation.
Insurance Company Activities & Affiliations
Certain of our management persons and Investment Advisor Representatives (“IAR”) are also licensed as
resident life, health, and fixed annuity insurance agents in their state of residence and may be licensed as non-
resident agents in other states. These agents are licensed to sell insurance-related products and earn
commissions from the sale of those products.
Potential conflicts of interest can occur when an IAR, as a trusted advisor advising your portfolio for a fee,
recommends you purchase an insurance product in which they may earn a commission. This can create a
situation of divided loyalty and the objectivity of the advice rendered could be subjective and create a
disadvantage to you.
For further information on potential conflicts and economic benefits from these activities by IARs see “Financial
Planning Compensation” below under Item 14 - “Client Referrals & Other Compensation”. In addition, more
information about our IARs who offer investment advice and their insurance activities can be found in their

in whole or in part, by reason of his or her employment, unless the information is also available to the
investing public on reasonable inquiry. No employee of ours shall prefer his or her own interest to that of
yours or any other advisory client.
2. We maintain a list of all securities holdings for all our access employees. Our Chief Compliance Officer
reviews these holdings on a regular basis.
3. We require that all employees act in accordance with all applicable Federal and State regulations
governing registered investment advisory practices.
4. Bunched orders (See “Aggregating Trade Orders” below under Item 12 - “Brokerage Practices”) may
include employee accounts. In such cases, priority and advantage will be given to satisfy your order first
regardless of the situation.
5. Any individual not in observance of the above may be subject to termination.
Personal trading activities are monitored by the Chief Compliance Officer to ensure that such activities do not
impact your security or create conflicts of interest.

Custodial Services
ACM maintains a custodial relationship with Charles Schwab & Company, Inc. (using Schwab Advisor Services.
“Schwab”) Schwab is a registered broker-dealers and members FINRA/SIPC. Schwab offers services, which
include custody of securities, trade execution, clearance, and settlement of transactions.
Our recommendation for you to custody your assets with Schwab has no direct correlation to the services we
receive from Schwab and the investment advice we offer you, although we do receive economic benefits
through our relationship with Schwab that are typically not available to retail clients. These benefits include the
following products and services (provided without cost or at a discount):
Receipt of duplicate client statements and confirmations.
Research related products and tools and consulting services at no additional cost to our firm 10.
Access to a dedicated trading desk.
Execution facilitation services provided
Ability to have advisory fees deducted directly from client accounts
10 The research and brokerage services qualify for the safe harbor exemption defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Page 22 of 28 Disclosure Brochure
Form ADV: Part 2A
Access to batch trading (which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions for execution and
then allocate the appropriate shares to accounts).
The ability to have asset management fees deducted directly from accounts.
Access to an electronic communications network for order entry and account information.
Access to mutual funds with no transaction fees and to certain institutional money managers.
We are not a subsidiary of or an affiliated entity of Schwab. We have sole responsibility for investment advice
rendered, and our advisory services are provided separately and independently from Schwab.
Direction of Transactions and Commission Rates (Best Execution)
We have a fiduciary duty to put your interests before our own. The advisory support services we received from
Schwab create an economic benefit to us and a potential conflict of interest to you, in that our recommendation
to custody your account(s) with Schwab may have been influenced by these arrangements/services. This is not
the case; we have selected Schwab as our custodian of choice based on:
1. Their competitive transaction charges, trading platform, and online services for account administration
and operational support.
2. Their general reputation, trading capabilities, investment inventory, financial strength, and our personal
experience working with their staff.
Since we do not recommend, suggest, or make available a selection of custodians other than Schwab and we
have not verified whether their transaction fees are competitive with another custodian, best execution may
not always be achieved. Therefore, you do not have to accept our recommendation to use Schwab as your
custodian. However, if you elect to use another custodian, we may not be able to provide you complete
institutional services.
Aggregating Trade Orders
Our objective in order execution is to act fairly, impartially, and to take all reasonable steps to obtain the best
possible results (known as “best execution”) for our clients. Therefore, we will not bunch (aggregate) orders for a
block trade unless: (i) the bunching of orders is done for the purpose of achieving best execution; and (ii) no client
is systematically advantaged or disadvantaged by bunching the orders.
In consideration of these objectives, we will consider the unique execution factors of the buy/sell order before
bunching accounts for a block trade. A few of those factors are:
Security Trading Volume – Bunching orders in a block trade can secure price parity and continuity for our
clients during heavy trading activity.
Number of Clients – The bunched order may not yield better pricing or order execution the fewer the
number of client accounts involved. It may be more advantageous to perform an individual market order
for each client. In addition, preparing individual market orders, for a small number of accounts involved may
be quicker to complete than preparing a bunch order.
Financial Instruments – The type of security involved as well as the complexity of an order can affect our
ability to achieve best execution.
If you would like additional information on our trading allocation policies, a copy is available for review upon
request.
Special Considerations for ERISA Clients
A retirement or ERISA plan client may direct all or part of portfolio transactions for its account through a specific
broker or dealer in order to obtain goods or services on behalf of the plan. Such direction is permitted provided
that the goods and services provided are reasonable expenses of the plan incurred in the ordinary course of its
business for which it otherwise would be obligated and empowered to pay. ERISA prohibits directed brokerage
arrangements when the goods or services purchased are not for the exclusive benefit of the plan. Consequently,
our firm will request that plan sponsors who direct plan brokerage provide us with a letter documenting that this
arrangement will be for the exclusive benefit of the plan.

Selection of Portfolio Managers
We will make available a select group of Independent Portfolio Managers from which you may choose to
manage your account(s). We will assist you in determining which will provide the most effective financial
growth based upon your stated investment objectives and risk tolerance level. The brokerage practices of the
Independent Portfolio Manager will be disclosed in their ADV Part 2A: Firm Brochure or Part 2A Appendix 1: Wrap
Fee Program Brochure, which we will provide you prior to, or at the same time as, opening an account.
While we have exercised our best efforts evaluating the investment performance and cost of service offered by
these Independent Portfolio Managers, we make no representation that the Independent Portfolio Manager(s) to
which we refer you has the best investment performance or has the lowest portfolio management costs. In
addition, your selection of such Independent Portfolio Managers will be limited to those with whom we have
entered into service agreements. Therefore, it is possible that you might be able to contract for similar services
elsewhere or separately, with equivalent or better performance at lower cost.

REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS

Portfolio Management Reviews
Each account is reviewed on an ongoing basis by the Investment Advisor Representative (“IAR”) assigned your
account to ensure that they are aligned with your needs and objectives. All accounts are reviewed in the context of
your stated investment objectives and guidelines. Cash needs will be adjusted as necessary.
You will receive monthly statements from Charles Schwab & Company, Inc. where your account(s) are
custodied. You are encouraged to review each statement which summarizes the specific investments held, the
value of your portfolio and account transactions.
You are also encouraged to review with us investment strategies and account performance on an annual basis.
Material changes in your personal circumstances, the general economy, or tax law changes can trigger more
frequent reviews. However, it is your responsibility to communicate changes in your personal circumstances
so that the appropriate adjustments can be made.
Portfolio Monitoring Reviews
Should your account be managed by a third-party money manager (“Independent Portfolio Manager”), the IAR
presiding over your account will monitor and evaluate the performance of the Independent Portfolio Manager.
We understand your goals and tolerance for risk may change over time; therefore, even though we are not
involved in any way with the day-to-day management of your assets maintained with an Independent
Portfolio Manager(s), your portfolio will be monitored, and we will make recommendations to you regarding the
Independent Portfolio Manager(s) as market factors and your personal goals dictate.
Financial Planning Reviews
The financial planner who has/is designing your financial plan will work closely with you to be sure the action
points identified in the financial plan have been or are being properly executed. Once the action points have
been completed, the financial plan should be reviewed at least annually. Material changes in your lifestyle
choices, personal circumstances, the general economy, or tax law changes can trigger more frequent reviews.
However, it is your responsibility to communicate these changes to us so that the appropriate adjustments can
be made.
Employer Retirement Plan Reviews
Employer Retirement Plan clients receive reviews of their retirement plans for the duration of the service. We also
provide ongoing services where clients are met with upon their request to discuss updates to their plans,
changes in their circumstances, etc. Employer Retirement Plan consulting clients do not receive written or verbal
updated reports regarding their plans unless they choose to engage our firm for ongoing services.

CLIENT REFERRALS & OTHER COMPENSATION
Referral Compensation
We do not receive any economic benefit from any Independent Portfolio Managers. If an Independent Portfolio
Manager has budgeted compensation for referrals, we request that this compensation be applied to your
account by way of reduced fees or increasing your investment contribution. We do act as a Promoter for Global
Retirement Partners, LLC doing business as GRP Financial (GRP), a leading retirement plan consulting firm
offering a complete suite of services to both plan sponsors and individual investors. ACM gets paid a portion of
their management fees for any client we refer to them in accordance with relevant state statutes and rules.
ACM can pay fees to independent Promoters for the referral of clients to ACM in accordance with relevant state
statutes and rules. Such fees represent a share of our asset management fee charged to our clients. This
arrangement will not result in higher costs to the referred client. In this regard, our firm maintains Promoter
Agreements in compliance with relevant state statutes and rules and applicable state and federal laws. ACM
will disclose terms and fee arrangements with the Promoter to all clients referred by Promoter. In cases where
state law requires licensure of Promoters, we ensure that no fees are paid unless the Promoter is registered as
an investment adviser representative of ACM. If our firm is paying Promoter fees to another registered
investment adviser, the licensure of individuals is the other firm’s responsibility.
Other Compensation (Indirect Benefit)
ACM receives an indirect, non-monetary, economic benefit from Schwab. See “Custodial Services” above under
Item 12 - “Brokerage Practices” for more detailed information on what these services and products could be.
Financial Planning Compensation
As previously mentioned, certain of our Investment Advisor Representatives (“IARs”) are commissioned
insurance agents (See “Insurance Company Activities & Affiliations” above in Item 10 - “Other Financial
Industry Activities & Affiliations” for more information). This can create a conflict of interest when
recommending for a fee, through a financial plan, that you purchase insurance products where a commission
can also be earned.
In addition, there are also potential conflicts of interest when an IAR suggests the need for outside consultations
and professional services (i.e., attorneys, accountants, brokers, etc.) to implement certain aspects of a financial
plan. Even though the IAR does not receive any share of fees earned by the outside professionals when
implementing a financial plan, it does create an incentive on their part to refer your business to only those
entities that in turn refer potential clients to us. In both cases, there is potential for divided loyalty, and the
objectivity of the advice rendered could be subjective and create a disadvantage to you. Therefore, to ensure
you understand the choices and risks you have in receiving financial planning along with all other investment
recommendations, the following disclosures are provided to assist you with your decisions:
Certain aspects of a financial plan may require the assistance of a Registered Representative of a broker-
dealer to execute a transaction. In this situation regardless of who performs the transaction(s), such person
will be entitled to earn a commission or fee.
If requested by you to implement any insurance recommendations made in the financial plan, the IAR will
execute such transactions through those insurance companies in which they are a licensed insurance
agent. In such cases, the IAR will receive the normal commissions associated with such insurance
transactions.
You are under no obligation to have any related parties that we recommend prepare planning documents
(i.e., financial, estate, tax, etc.). You are free to choose those outside professionals to implement the
recommendations made in the financial or estate plan.
ACM does not receive any economic benefit from referring you to another professional without first notifying
you of such possibilities.
Page 25 of 28 Disclosure Brochure
Form ADV: Part 2A
Notwithstanding these disclosures, other conflicts of interest may arise from time-to-time. In such cases, we will
make every effort to fully disclose any issues prior to engagement. We strive, at all times, to serve your best
interest and ensure proper disclosure is being made to you in compliance with the Investment Adviser Act of
1940, Rule 275.206.
Pooled Investment Vehicle Compensation
Our fiduciary duty binds us to an ethical standard of complete care and loyalty and to avoid circumstances
that might affect, or appear to affect, this standard unless we act transparently and provide you full and fair
disclosure on any potential conflict.
In addition to serving as the Managing Members of this company, Andina Capital Management, LLC, Eric S.
Barlow and J. Brett Belliston, are also the principal executive officers and Investment Committee Members to
several private investment funds. As such, Mr. Barlow and Mr. Belliston and/or the other Managing Partners
receive economic benefits from recommending that you invest in these private affiliated investment funds.
These benefits could be, but are not limited to, an increase in advisory/consulting fees, salaries, performance
fees, and income/dividend returns should you choose to invest in one or more of the private investment funds.
Therefore, before accepting our recommendation to invest in these affiliated funds, you should consider
other investment opportunities to ensure the expenses and investment returns are comparable or
equivalent to the private investment funds being recommended.
See “Financial Industry Affiliation” and “Private Investment Fund Affiliation” above under Item 10 - “Other
Financial Industry Activities & Affiliations” for disclosure about time management, affiliated entity
considerations, and the investment qualifications of the private investment funds. Also see “Pooled Investments”
under Item 15 - “Custody” for more information on how operating these investment funds creates a custody
situation.
Retirement Rollover Compensation
Earning a management fee from recommending the rollover of retirement plan assets to an IRA we manage is
considered “self-dealing” and prohibited unless we comply with a Best Interest Contract (“BIC”) Exemption
available under the Department of Labor’s (“DOL”) Fiduciary Rule. The DOL considers earning a management fee
“self-dealing” because it increases our compensation and profits while potentially disregarding the underlying
costs paid by, and the services provided under, the retirement plan that might be more beneficial to you should
your retirement assets remain with the plan. Therefore, when it comes to your retirement assets, there are
typically four options you should consider when leaving an employer:
Leave the account assets in the former employer’s plan, if permitted.
Rollover the assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted.
Rollover the assets to an Individual Retirement Account (an “IRA”); or,
Cash out the retirement account assets (There may be tax consequences and/or IRS penalties depending on
your age).
Should you choose to rollover your retirement account assets to an individual IRA account, you understand you
are under no obligation to engage us to manage these assets that you are free to take your IRA account
anywhere to be managed.

Management Fee Deduction
We do not take possession of or maintain custody of your funds or securities but will simply monitor the holdings
within your portfolio and trade your account based on your stated investment objectives and guidelines.
Physical possession and custody of your funds and/or securities shall be maintained with Charles Schwab &
Company, Inc. as indicated above in Item 12 - “Brokerage Practices”.
Page 26 of 28 Disclosure Brochure
Form ADV: Part 2A
We are however defined as having custody since you have authorized us to deduct our asset management
fees directly from your account and, under some circumstances, have given us the power to disburse funds to a
third party under a standing letter of authorization (SLOA). Therefore, to comply with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission’s Custody Rule (1940 Act Rule 206(4)-2) requirements, and to protect you as well as
to protect our advisory practice, we have implemented the following regulatory safeguards:
Your funds and securities will be maintained with a qualified custodian (Schwab) in a separate account in
your name.
Authorization to withdraw our asset management fees directly from your account will be approved by you
prior to engaging in any portfolio management and/or portfolio monitoring services.
You would provide authorization directly to the custodian, in writing, that includes your signature, third
party’s name, and either the third party’s address or account number at a custodian to which the transfer of
funds should be directed along with the date(s) and frequency to do so. We have no ability to change any
of that information.
The custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction, such as signature review or other method
to verify your authorization and they provide you with a transfer of funds notice promptly after each transfer.
You can terminate or change the instructions.
The custodian sends you an initial notice confirming the instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the
instruction. In addition, at Schwab, the SLOA becomes deactivated (with notice) after 3 years of disuse.
Schwab is required by law to send you, at least quarterly, brokerage statements summarizing the specific
investments currently held in your account, the value of your portfolio, and all account transactions. You are
encouraged to compare the financial data contained in our report and/or itemized fee notice with the financial
information disclosed in your account statement from Schwab to verify the accuracy and correctness of our
reporting.
Pooled Investments
As previously mentioned, Eric S. Barlow and J. Brett Belliston, are also the Managing Members and/or Investment
Committee Members to several Limited Liability Companies serving as the General Partners to numerous private
investment funds. (See “Financial Industry” under Item 10 - “Other Financial Industry Activities & Affiliation” for
more information).
As the Managing Members or Investment Committee Members, and General Partners of numerous private
investment funds, Mr. Barlow and Mr. Belliston have legal control of, ownership of, or access to, the assets held in
these private investment funds. By virtue of their positions, Mr. Barlow and Mr. Belliston have influence or
authority to dispose of these assets, whether appropriate or not, without the limited partners of the private
investment funds ever knowing. Therefore, to protect the limited partners and to comply with the 1940 Act
Custody Rule 206(4)-2 safekeeping requirements for pooled investment vehicles, each of the private
investment funds will:
Be subject to an audit (as defined in Section 2(d) of Article 1 of Regulation S-X [17 CFS 210.1- 02(d)]) at least
annually.
Ensure the independent public account performing the audit is subject to regular annual inspection by the
PCAOB, in accordance with the rules of the PCAOB.
Distribute the audited financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles to all limited partners within 180 days of the end of the fiscal year.
Should one of the Funds close, have a final audited financial statement prepared upon liquidation of all
assets in the Fund. The completed audit will be promptly distributed to all limited partners.
Have the third-party administrator (“TPA”) review all fees, expenses, and capital expenditures and furnish
each limited partner with quarterly statements and K-1 tax documents for reporting income, losses, and
dividends to limited partners in the Fund.

The Confidential Private Placement Memorandum (“PPM”) discloses all the safeguards that have been
implemented to protect the limited partners. If you are both a client of ACM and limited partner of one or more
of these private investment funds, you are encouraged to read the PPM where such procedures are disclosed.
