Item 4: ADVISORY BUSINESS
Arcadia Investment Advisors, LLC (“Arcadia” “we”) was founded in 1996 by Richard Teutsch, who
remains one of the two owners of our firm. Howard Teutsch joined Arcadia as an investment manager
in 2007 and became a partner in 2010. Richard and Howard are both principal owners. Arcadia has
locations in Portland, Oregon and Boise, Idaho.
Investment Management
Arcadia provides investment management services for our clients. We manage portfolios that often
consist of multiple types of accounts, which may include joint, trust, IRA, etc. Portfolios are
constructed in a manner that is appropriate for our client’s age and life circumstances.
Guided by academic theory, Arcadia uses asset allocation to build tax efficient, low cost, and well
diversified portfolios for our clients. We primarily use stock and bond mutual funds and Exchange
Traded Funds (ETF).
By developing a personalized investment strategy for each client, we are able to help our clients
manage both their short-term and long-term financial objectives.
This process includes the construction of a well-diversified portfolio consistent with the client’s appetite
for risk in conjunction with an ongoing assessment of the portfolio’s performance. The investment
strategy is monitored continually to ensure alignment with the client’s long-term goals and financial
objectives.
As part of our portfolio management service we also offer Retirement planning where we identify and
evaluate client financial goals and we also offer personal investment strategies. This service is designed
to help individual investors achieve their financial and investment goals. In addition to managing client
investment portfolios, we provide analysis and input regarding other assets, debt structure and other
financial decisions that will be made over time.
We do not sponsor or participate in any wrap-fee programs.
Assets Under Management: As of December 31, 2025, Arcadia managed $345,798,567.66 in assets on a
discretionary basis, $2,655.41 on a non-discretionary basis for a total AUM of $345,801,223.07.
Page 4
Item 5: FEES AND COMPENSATION
Our fees for investment advisory services are as follows:
If client’s billable AUM is less than $1 million:
1.0% annual fee is charged for the management of equities up to $1,000,000.
.3% for fixed income.
If Client’s billable AUM is more than $1 million:
.9% annual fee is charged for the management of equities up to $1,000,000.
.3% annual fee is charged for the management of equities in excess of $1,000,000.
.3% annual fee is charged for the management of all fixed-income investments.
If client’s billable AUM is over $5 million:
Flat fee of $21,000/year
Our fees are calculated in arrears and are typically paid to Arcadia directly from the client’s brokerage
account(s) on a quarterly basis in January, April, July and October. At the time fees are deducted each
quarter, we provide clients with a fee calculation based on the client’s portfolio balance at quarter end
along with their quarterly reports. We urge you to compare statements you receive from us with the
statements you receive from your custodian, and to contact us if you believe there are any
discrepancies. In cases where fees are not automatically deducted from a client’s account, a bill is sent
and fees are due upon receipt. At our discretion, some assets may be excluded from the fee calculation.
Fees may be amended from time to time by Arcadia. If changes do occur, our clients will receive written
notice at least 60 days in advance.
Our fees are not negotiable. However, in some cases, clients receive the same services at a reduced
rate or at no charge. This is available for immediate family members or other clients on a case-by-case
basis.
General Information
Termination of the Advisory Relationship: Arcadia or the client may terminate the service agreement
at any time with notice by telephone, or in writing, to the other party. Fees will be prorated for the
last date services were rendered and are due immediately upon receipt. If you choose to terminate
our services within five (5) business days of signing the service agreement, no fees will be charged.
We are a fee only advisory firm, which means our only compensation comes directly from our clients.
Arcadia and our advisors do not receive commissions or compensation of any kind from any other
financial services firms.
Mutual Fund Fees: All fees paid to Arcadia for investment advisory services are separate and distinct
from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds and/or ETFs to their shareholders. These fees
and expenses are described in each fund's prospectus. These fees will generally include a
management fee, other fund expenses, and a possible distribution fee. If the fund also imposes sales
Page 5
charges, a client will pay an initial or deferred sales charge. A client could invest in a mutual fund
directly, without our services. In that case, the client would not receive the services provided by our
firm which are designed, among other things, to assist the client in determining which mutual fund
or funds are most appropriate to each client's financial condition and objectives. Accordingly, the
client should review both the fees charged by the funds and our fees to fully understand the total
amount of fees to be paid by the client and to thereby evaluate the advisory services being provided.
Additional Fees and Expenses: In addition to our advisory fees, clients are also responsible for the
fees and expenses charged by custodians and imposed by broker dealers, including, but not limited
to, any transaction charges imposed by a broker dealer with which an independent investment
manager effects transactions for the client's account(s). Please refer to the "Brokerage Practices"
section (Item 12) of this Form ADV for additional information.
Grandfathering of Minimum Account Requirements: Pre-existing advisory clients are subject to
Arcadia's minimum account requirements and advisory fees in effect at the time the client entered
into the advisory relationship. Therefore, our firm's minimum account requirements will differ
among clients.
ERISA Accounts: Arcadia is deemed to be a fiduciary to advisory clients that are employee benefit
plans or individual retirement accounts (IRAs) pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income and
Securities Act ("ERISA"), and regulations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"),
respectively. As such, our firm is subject to specific duties and obligations under ERISA and the
Internal Revenue Code that include among other things, restrictions concerning certain forms of
compensation. To avoid engaging in prohibited transactions, Arcadia may only charge fees for
investment advice about products for which our firm and/or our related persons do not receive any
commissions or 12b-1 fees.
When we provide any rollover recommendations (e.g. from your employer’s retirement plan, such as
a 401(k), 457, or ERISA 403(b) account to individual retirement accounts), we are acting as fiduciaries
within the meaning of Title I of the ERISA and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. If you elect to roll the assets to an IRA we will
manage for you, we will charge you an advisory fee. This financial incentive creates a conflict of
interest. You are under no obligation to complete the rollover. Moreover, if you do complete the
rollover, you are under no obligation to have the assets in an IRA managed by our firm.
Due to the conflict of interest when we make rollover recommendations, we operate under rules
that require us to act in your best interests and not put our interests ahead of yours. These rule’s
provisions require us to:
meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (i.e., give
prudent advice);
never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (i.e., give
loyal advice);
avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
Page 6
follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interests;
charge no more than a reasonable fee for our services; and
give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
Many employers permit former employees to keep their retirement assets in their company plan.
Also, current employees can sometimes move assets out of their company plan before they retire or
change jobs. In determining whether to complete the rollover to an IRA, and to the extent the
following options are available, you should consider the costs and benefits of a rollover. Note that
an employee will typically have four options in this situation:
leaving the funds in your employer’s (former employer’s) plan;
1.
2. moving the funds to a new employer’s retirement plan;
3. cashing out and taking a taxable distribution from the plan; or
4. rolling the funds into an IRA rollover account.
Each of these options has positives and negatives. Because of that, along with the importance of
understanding the differences between these types of accounts, we will provide you with a written
explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of both account types and the basis for our belief
that the rollover transaction we recommend is in your best interests.
As an alternative to providing you with a rollover recommendation, we may instead take an entirely
educational approach in accordance with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Interpretive Bulletin 96-1.
Under this approach, our role will be limited only to providing you with general educational materials
regarding the pros and cons of rollover transactions. We would make no recommendation to you
regarding the prospective rollover of your assets and you are advised to speak with your trusted tax
and legal advisors with respect to rollover decisions. As part of this educational approach, we will
discuss with you general information about some or all of the following topics: the general pros and
cons of rollover transactions; the benefits of retirement plan participation; the impact of pre-
retirement withdrawals on retirement income; the investment options available inside your Plan
Account; and high level discussion of general investment concepts (e.g., risk versus return, the
benefits of diversification and asset allocation, historical returns of certain asset classes, etc.). We
may also provide you with questionnaires and/or interactive investment materials that may provide
a means for you to independently determine your future retirement income needs and to assess the
impact of different asset allocations on your retirement income. You will make the final rollover
decision.
Advisory Fees in General: Clients should note that similar advisory services may (or may not) be
available from other registered (or unregistered) investment advisers for similar or lower fees.
Page 7
Item 6: PERFORMANCE BASED FEES
Arcadia does not charge fees based on performance.
Item 7: TYPES OF CLIENTS
Our services are offered to individuals, trusts, pension plans, non-profits, profit sharing plans and others.
Most of our clients are individuals and families.
Our minimum portfolio for new clients is $100,000. Portfolios may be comprised of multiple account
registrations, including joint, trust, IRA, 401(k), 403(b), other retirement accounts, minor children’s
accounts or others. Account minimums may be waived at our discretion.
Item 8: METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, AND RISK OF
LOSS
Asset Allocation
Our investment management strategy takes an asset allocation approach. Studies show that asset
allocation, which is the mix of different asset classes such as stocks, bonds, international, etc., is the
primary factor in investment returns.
Arcadia’s asset allocation decisions, with respect to stocks versus bonds, are primarily derived from the
cash flow needs of our client. Therefore, the client’s investment time horizon will greatly determine the
overall structure of the portfolio. For example, clients that are currently drawing an income from their
portfolio will have a portfolio structured with less volatility than a client that may not need to draw an
income for many years.
Another factor in deciding on our clients’ asset allocation is an assessment of their tolerance for
variability (risk) of returns. If a client has a high tolerance for variability, they will likely have a portfolio
that is primarily comprised of stock funds. On the other hand, if a client has a low tolerance for
variability, that client will likely have a higher percentage of fixed income funds.
Security Selection
Once the client’s asset allocation is determined, Arcadia will then look for appropriate investments available
for each asset class. We typically use mutual funds and ETFs that offer broad diversification on a global
scale.
Generally, we utilize investments that are readily marketable, and that have lower overall cost and
higher tax efficiency.
When we manage a client’s 401(k) or other retirement assets, we may be limited to the investment
choices available within an employer-sponsored plan. In these cases, we look for the best options in the
plan and aim to balance the retirement account with the other accounts we manage for our clients.
When working with our clients’ assets, we manage their portfolio as a whole, rather than at the account
Page 8
level in order to minimize trading and tax costs.
Most assets managed by Arcadia have a long-term time horizon. We view inflation as a type of risk and
attempt to grow our client portfolios in real, inflation-adjusted terms. Our focus on long term returns
means that there will be some short-term volatility. As a result, short-term losses are to be expected
periodically. And, of course, there is no guarantee that the strategies will prove successful, even over the
long term.
Risks for all forms of analysis. Our securities analysis methods rely on the assumption that the
companies whose securities we purchase and sell, the rating agencies that review these securities, and
other publicly-available sources of information about these securities, are providing accurate and
unbiased data. While we are alert to indications that data may be incorrect, there is always a risk that
our analysis may be compromised by inaccurate or misleading information.
We believe that frequent trading within an account can have a negative effect on overall return;
therefore, we try to avoid frequent trading in our clients’ accounts. However, there are times when it is
advantageous to place trades more frequently (i.e. taking tax losses).
Tax Management
Our client portfolios may consist of multiple accounts with differing tax treatments of gains, interest,
dividends and withdrawals. We attempt to minimize the long-term impact of taxes by taking advantage
of the various tax-favored investments available to clients. We also harvest tax losses, postpone a gain
to achieve more favorable tax rates or may recommend a Roth conversion.
Risk of Loss. Securities investments are not guaranteed and you may lose money on your investments.
We ask that you work with us to help us understand your tolerance for risk. Clients should understand
that investing in any securities, including mutual funds, involves a risk of loss of both income and
principal.
Item 9: DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
Neither Arcadia nor any of our advisors have ever been involved in any events that have resulted in
disciplinary actions from regulators, courts or the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards.
Item 10: OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS
None of our advisors are registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to receive
commissions on investment product sales. In addition, none of our advisors have any relationship or
affiliation that is potentially in conflict or material with an advisory business, such as that of
independent broker-dealer, accountant, insurance representative, or real estate broker. Our advisors
are not involved in any other activities within the industry for which we would be required to provide
disclosure.
Page 9
Our only source of revenue comes directly from our clients. Please see the Fees and Compensation
section for more details.
Item 11: CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT
TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING
Our firm has adopted a Code of Ethics which sets forth high ethical standards of business conduct that
we require of our employees, including compliance with applicable federal securities laws.
Arcadia and our personnel owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards our clients, and have an
obligation to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code of Ethics but to the general principles
that guide the Code.
Our Code of Ethics includes policies and procedures for the review of quarterly securities transactions
reports as well as initial and annual securities holdings reports that must be submitted by the firm’s
access persons. Among other things, our Code of Ethics also requires the prior approval of any
acquisition of securities in a limited offering (e.g., private placement) or an initial public offering. Our
code also provides for oversight, enforcement and recordkeeping provisions.
Arcadia's Code of Ethics further includes the firm's policy prohibiting the use of material non-public
information. While we do not believe that we have any particular access to non-public information, all
employees are reminded that such information may not be used in a personal or professional capacity.
A copy of our Code of Ethics is available to our advisory clients and prospective clients. You may request
a copy by calling us at (800)448-5151.
Arcadia and individuals associated with our firm are prohibited from engaging in principal transactions.
Arcadia and individuals associated with our firm are prohibited from engaging in agency cross
transactions.
Our Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests
of our employees will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and
(ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own
accounts.
Our firm and/or individuals associated with our firm may buy or sell for their personal accounts securities
identical to or different from those recommended to our clients. In addition, any related person(s) may
have an interest or position in a certain securities which may also be recommended to a client.
It is the expressed policy of our firm that no person employed by us may purchase or sell any security
prior to a transaction(s) being implemented for an advisory account, thereby preventing such
employee(s) from benefiting from transactions placed on behalf of advisory accounts.
We may aggregate our employee trades with client transactions where possible and when compliant with
our duty to seek best execution for our clients. In these instances, participating clients will receive an
average share price and transaction costs will be shared equally and on a pro-rata basis. In the instances
where there is a partial fill of a particular batched order, we will allocate all purchases pro-rata, with each
account paying the average price. Our employee accounts will be included in the pro-rata allocation.
As these situations represent actual or potential conflicts of interest to our clients, we have established
the following policies and procedures for implementing our firm’s Code of Ethics, to ensure our firm
Page 10
complies with its regulatory obligations and provides our clients and potential clients with full and fair
disclosure of such conflicts of interest:
1. No principal or employee of our firm may put his or her own interest above the interest of an
advisory client.
2. No principal or employee of our firm may buy or sell securities for their personal portfolio(s)
where their decision is a result of information received as a result of his or her employment
unless the information is also available to the investing public.
3.
It is the expressed policy of our firm that no person employed by us may purchase or sell any
security prior to a transaction(s) being implemented for an advisory account. This prevents such
employees from benefiting from transactions placed on behalf of advisory accounts.
4. Our firm requires prior approval for any IPO or private placement investments by related
persons of the firm.
5. We maintain a list of all reportable securities holdings for our firm and anyone associated with
this advisory practice that has access to advisory recommendations ("access person"). These
holdings are reviewed on a regular basis by our firm's Chief Compliance Officer or his/her
designee.
6. We have established procedures for the maintenance of all required books and records.
7. All clients are fully informed that related persons will receive separate commission
compensation when effecting transactions during the implementation process.
8. Clients can decline to implement any advice rendered, except in situations where our firm is
granted discretionary authority.
9. All of our principals and employees must act in accordance with all applicable Federal and State
regulations governing registered investment advisory practices.
10. We require delivery and acknowledgement of the Code of Ethics by each supervised person of
our firm.
11. We have established policies requiring the reporting of Code of Ethics violations to our senior
management.
Any individual who violates any of the above restrictions may be subject to termination.
Item 12: BROKERAGE PRACTICES
Recommended Firms
All client assets are held with unaffiliated third parties that have actual possession of our clients’ assets.
Arcadia primarily uses Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab” or “Schwab Institutional”). In rare
circumstances, there may be a need to hold client assets elsewhere, such as annuity sponsor companies
like Jefferson National or Nationwide. Collectively, these firms are referred to as our Custodians.
When recommending a Custodian, we take into account a number of factors which may include
custodial fees charged by the Custodian, commission rates, record keeping and reporting capabilities,
among others. When we suggest a Custodian, we will attempt to minimize the total cost for all
brokerage services paid by the client. However, a suggested Custodian may charge a higher fee for a
Page 11
particular type of service, such as a commission rate, than can be obtained from another Custodian.
The Custodians that we recommend are not affiliated with Arcadia in any way. These firms may provide
Arcadia and our clients’ access to their institutional trading and custody services which are typically not
available to individual investors. Generally, these services are available to independent investment
advisors on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them as long as they maintain certain minimum levels
of client assets at the brokerage firms. Some of the services provided to Arcadia include brokerage,
custody, research and access to mutual funds and other investments that may not be available to an
individual investor or may require a significantly higher initial investment.
Custodians also have products and services that benefit Arcadia, but may not benefit our clients’
accounts directly. Some of these products and services assist us with managing and administering our
clients’ accounts. Some examples of these products and services include:
• Software and other technology that provide access to our client account data (i.e. trade
confirmation and account statements).
• Facilitating trade execution (and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client
accounts).
• Providing research, pricing information and other market data.
• Facilitating payment of Arcadia’s fees from our clients’ accounts.
• Assisting with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting.
Custodians also provide Arcadia with consulting, publications, conferences on practice management,
information technology, marketing and regulatory compliance.
Research products and services we receive from Schwab may include the following:
• Financial publications.
• Information about particular companies and industries.
• Research software and other products or services that provide appropriate assistance to Arcadia
in the performance of its investment decision-making responsibilities.
These research products and services are provided to all investment advisors that use Schwab
Institutional and are not considered to be paid for with soft dollars. (“Soft dollar” arrangements are
defined as the receipt of research or other products or services, other than execution of trades, from a
broker-dealer or a third party in connection with client securities transactions.) However, the
commissions charged by a particular broker for a particular transaction or set of transactions may be
greater than the amounts another broker who did not provide research services or products might
charge.
We do not receive client referrals from any brokerage firms.
Each year we review the relationships we have with our Custodians to ensure that our clients receive
good value, execution and services. When performing this review, we weigh the costs and benefits of
moving accounts to other Custodians.
Page 12
Client Directed Brokerage
We do not allow clients to direct brokerage.
Trade Aggregation
Arcadia is authorized by our clients to use our discretion to aggregate purchases and sales and other
transactions made for the account with purchases and sales and other transactions in the same or
similar securities or instruments for other clients of ours. Many securities that we recommend are
mutual funds which trade at one price at the end of each day. Other securities, such as ETFs, may trade
at different prices throughout the day. When we place trades in ETFs, we may attempt to aggregate
orders together so that our clients receive the same price and there is not potential favoritism. Since it
is typically not possible to conduct a single trade for all client positions, we have procedures in place to
ensure that clients are not favored based on their portfolio size or any other factor.
Item 13: REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Our advisors review each of our clients’ portfolios a minimum of twice per year. A review may also be
triggered when there is a change in client circumstances, deposit or significant withdrawal into or from
a client’s account or securities are transferred. During a review, accounts are analyzed by an advisor and
the following areas are assessed:
• Accounts are rebalanced to ensure proper asset allocation.
• Portfolios are reviewed to ensure they are managed in a tax-efficient manner.
• Individual portfolio performance is in line with market expectations.
On an ongoing basis, we continually research and monitor all positions in our clients’ accounts. These
positions are maintained or sold based upon this ongoing analysis.
In addition to the reports sent by the Custodian (such as Schwab), Arcadia provides our clients with Billing
Statements and Performance Reports each quarter. In January of each year, our clients with taxable
accounts also receive a Management Fees Paid Report and a Realized Gains and Loss Report. The Realized
Gains and Loss Reports are only sent to clients who have taxable accounts where transaction(s) resulted in
a realized gain or loss. These documents assist our clients with tax preparation. Clients are reminded that
the statements and tax documentation issued by Custodians remains the official source for tax reporting.
It is important that clients carefully review statements from the custodian and compare the figures with
the quarterly reports provided by Arcadia. If any discrepancies are found, they should be addressed with
Arcadia staff immediately.
Our Privacy Policy is also sent to all clients each January.
Our advisors usually meet with clients at least once per year either in person, on the phone or via an
online meeting. During these meetings, the following reports are typically reviewed:
• Unrealized Gains & Loss Report
• Portfolio Rebalancing Report
Page 13
• Portfolio Holdings Report
• Performance Report
• Investment Expenses Worksheet
The purpose of these meetings is to provide our clients and advisors the opportunity to review their
accounts, go over any questions the client may have, discuss a client’s changing situation or financial
goals and, when appropriate, update their retirement plan.
We encourage our clients to contact us at any time with any questions, concerns or to update us as
financial situations and goals change. We are available by phone, e-mail or to meet in person.
Item 14: CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
We do not receive economic benefits from third parties for the advice we render to our clients. We also
do not compensate anyone outside of Arcadia for referrals of new clients.
Item 15: CUSTODY
As noted under Brokerage Practices, we do not have physical custody of our clients’ assets. All funds are
held at outside Custodians such as Schwab and our clients receive regular statements and online access
to their accounts from them. It is important that clients carefully review statements from the custodian
and compare the figures with the quarterly reports provided by Arcadia. If any discrepancies are found,
they should be addressed with Arcadia staff immediately.
Arcadia is deemed to have custody of client accounts when clients authorize the deduction of advisory
fees directly from their accounts each quarter. When this takes place, we send out a billing statement for
our clients’ review and the activity is also included in the Custodians’ statements sent to clients.
Since Arcadia does not have physical custody of the assets in the account, we shall have no liability to
the Client for any loss or other harm to any property in the account, including any harm to any
property in the account resulting from the insolvency of the Custodian or any acts of the agents or
employees of the Custodian and whether or not the full amount or such loss is covered by the Securities
Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) or any other insurance which may be carried by the
Custodian. The Client understands that SIPC provides only limited protection for the loss of property
held by a broker- dealer.
Arcadia is deemed to have custody of client accounts due to its ability to process money transfers from
client custodian accounts to designated third parties based on standing letters of authorization
(“SLOAs”) signed by certain clients. These arrangements are disclosed at ADV Part 1, Item 9. This level of
custody does not require the firm to receive surprise audits annually provided certain guidelines are
followed. In accordance with the guidance provided in the SEC’s February 21, 2017 No-Action Letter to
the Investment Adviser Association, Arcadia follows the below guidelines with respect to such accounts:
Page 14
1. The client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that includes the client’s
signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or the third party’s account
number at a custodian to which the transfer should be directed.
2. The client authorizes Arcadia, in writing, either on the qualified custodian’s form or separately, to
direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or from time to time.
3. The client’s qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction, such as a
signature review or other method to verify the client’s authorization and provides a transfer of
funds notice to the client promptly after each transfer.
4. The client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the client’s qualified custodian.
5. Arcadia has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third party, the
address, or any other information about the third party contained in the client’s instruction.
6. The Advisor maintains records showing that the third party is not a related party of Arcadia or
located at the same address as Arcadia.
7. The client’s qualified custodian sends the client, in writing, an initial notice confirming the
instructions and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
Item 16: INVESTMENT DISCRETION
Arcadia accepts discretionary authority to manage client assets. This authority is authorized by our
clients through our advisory agreement and in their Custodian account applications. Discretionary
authority allows us to quickly and proactively manage our clients’ accounts by giving us authority to
perform the following tasks:
• Placing trades in clients’ accounts.
• Deducting client fees.
Allowing Arcadia to have discretionary authority on your accounts, does not allow us to:
• Change the address or beneficiaries on your accounts.
• Withdraw funds from your account, except client fees.
Item 17: VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
Arcadia invests in many securities that allow shareholders to vote on various issues, typically at an annual
shareholder meeting. Investors who cannot attend the meeting have the ability to vote by proxy. It is our
policy to not vote client securities, but we are available to help clients with questions they have regarding
ballot items. Clients typically receive annual proxy forms from the Custodian where their assets are held.
