Item 4 – Advisory Business
A. Firm Information
Arcadia Wealth Management, Inc., ("Arcadia" or the “Advisor”) is an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Walter F. Wisniewski, Jr., CFP® is the President and Senior Wealth Advisor of Arcadia Wealth
Management since inception in 2012. Allison M. Vanaski, CFP®, is the CEO, Senior Wealth Advisor, and Chief Compliance Officer
of Arcadia.
This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by
Arcadia. For information regarding this Disclosure Brochure, please contact Allison M. Vanaski, CFP®, CEO, Senior Wealth Advisor,
and Chief Compliance Officer, at (631) 549-5400 or by email at allie@arcadiawm.com.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Arcadia provides services in three broad categories: financial planning services, investment management/advisory services and
retirement plan advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, retirement plans, trusts, and estates (each a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary, the Advisor upholds
a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential conflicts of interest. Our fiduciary
commitment is further described in our Code of Ethics. For more information regarding our Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code
of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Wealth Management Services
Arcadia provides wealth management services for its Clients. These services generally include a broad range of comprehensive
financial planning in connection with discretionary investment management of Client portfolios. These services are described below.
Investment Management Services- Arcadia provides specialized investment management services, investing the assets of the client's
investment portfolio by selecting mutual funds, individual securities, and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). A client’s investment
portfolio is constructed from the client's goals, objectives and risk tolerance. Arcadia provides investment consultation services;
investment selection and monitoring of mutual fund portfolios, and assists the client in implementing a strategy for the clients’ overall
investment objectives. From time to time, Arcadia may make changes in the selection or allocation of investment alternatives. This
may be done on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis depending on the agreement with the client. The investments selected by
Arcadia predominately include Dimensional Fund Advisors (“DFA”) and Schwab One-Source mutual funds, and Arcadia implements
a long-term investment strategy which has been designed to result in low investment turnover. The Advisor may retain other types of
investments from the Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as
identified between the Advisor and the Client.
Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement accounts or individual
retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. When
deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an
ERISA retirement account or to roll over the assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one
ERISA sponsored Plan to another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based
account to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or increase its
current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a retirement account to an account
managed by the Advisor.
Financial Planning Services- Arcadia offers financial and retirement planning to its Clients. Generally, such financial planning
services will involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and
objectives. Financial planning addresses the following areas: retirement, college education, and other goal funding; income tax
planning; life, disability, long-term care, homeowners and automobile insurance; and estate planning.
Clients of Arcadia can also receive investment advice on a more limited basis. This may include advice on certain areas of interest or
need such as estate planning, retirement, 401(k) or 403(b) investment allocations or any other specific topic.
5
Financial planning recommendations poses a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the Client. For example,
the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for investment management services or to increase the
level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would increase the advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to
implement any recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act
on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction[s] through the
Advisor.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Arcadia may provide non-discretionary (under ERISA 3(21)) retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans (each
a “Plan”) and the company (the “Plan Sponsor”), pursuant to the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement. The Advisor’s
retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan
Participants. Each engagement is customized to the needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services generally include:
• Vendor Analysis
• Plan Participant Enrollment and Education Tracking
• Investment Oversight Services (ERISA 3(21))
• Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
• Performance Reporting
• ERISA 404(c) Assistance
• Benchmarking Services
• Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
Retirement plan advisory services are provided by Arcadia serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2), the Plan Sponsor is provided
with a written description of Arcadia’s fiduciary status, the specific services to be rendered and all direct and indirect compensation
the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Arcadia to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or more agreements with
the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These services may include:
• Asset Allocation – Arcadia will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment objectives, time
horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – Arcadia will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals and objectives
•
of the Client.
Investment Management and Supervision – Arcadia will provide investment management and ongoing oversight of the
Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Arcadia does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are provided directly by
Arcadia.
E. Assets Under Management
Client assets are managed on both a discretionary and non-discretionary basis. At the inception of each client relationship or upon
request, Arcadia will document any client requested restrictions to be applied to the management of their account.
Assets under management as of December 31, 2024:
Discretionary: $305,010,223
Non-Discretionary: $4,309,315
Total Managed: $309,319,538

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Arcadia is a fee-only advisor. In other words, Arcadia receives compensation exclusively from its clients, and does not receive
commissions of referral fees from any product or service providers.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory
agreement. Arcadia's fees are based on a percentage of assets under management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Investment
management service fees range from 0.50% to 2.00% annually based on several factors, including: the complexity of the services to be
provided, the level of assets to be managed, and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives,
specific reporting requirements, portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee.
The investment management fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the end of the
first quarter. Fees are negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate
assets under management with Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by Arcadia will be independently valued by the
Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and other related costs and
expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning services will be provided at an hourly rate of $250 per hour. An estimate for total hours will be determined prior to
engaging for these services.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement plan advisory fees range up to 1.25%, and are paid quarterly, in advance or at the end of each calendar quarter, pursuant to
the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement. Fees are based on the market value of assets in the plan on the last day of the
prior or current quarter. Fees are based on several factors, including: the complexity of the services to be provided, the level of assets
to be managed, and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific reporting requirements,
portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee. Fees may be negotiable depending on the size and
complexity of the Plan. Certain existing Clients may have fees that differ from the range above.
B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management Services
Fees are calculated in advance for the majority of Arcadia’s Client accounts based on the market value of the managed assets on the
last day of each Client billing quarter. The first quarterly fee will be the end of the third month after investment advisory or financial
planning services are provided to the Client. The amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to
the total assets under management with Arcadia at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least
quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the investment advisory fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify the
accuracy of these fees as listed on the Custodian’s brokerage statement as the Custodian does not assume this responsibility. Clients
provide written authorization permitting Arcadia to be paid directly from their accounts held by the Custodian as part of the
investment advisory agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian.
Clients generally authorize the Custodian to debit the advisory fee from the account and pay it to Arcadia. Occasionally, Arcadia will
ask a Client to pay the fee directly. Arcadia will send the Client an invoice showing the amount of the fee, the value of the Client’s
assets on which the invoice was based, and the specific manner in which the advisory fee was calculated. Arcadia sends this invoice to
the Client at the same time as it sends the Custodian instructions to debit the Client’s account. The Custodian sends a statement to the
Client, at least quarterly, indicating any amounts disbursed from the account, including the amount of any advisory fee paid to
Arcadia.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning fees are invoiced upon completion of the agreed upon deliverable[s].
7
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the assets of the Plan, depending on the terms of the retirement
plan advisory agreement.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Arcadia, in connection with investments made on behalf
of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and securities execution fees charged by the Custodian, as
applicable. The Advisor's recommended Custodian does not charge securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in a Client's
account, provided that the account meets the terms and conditions of the Custodian's brokerage requirements. However, the Custodian
typically charges for mutual funds and other types of investments. The fees charged by Arcadia are separate and distinct from these
custody and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to Arcadia for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the expenses charged by mutual
funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and
expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody,
brokerage and account reporting), and a possible distribution fee. Generally, Clients may be able to invest in these products directly,
without the services of Arcadia, but would not receive the services provided by Arcadia which are designed, among other things, to
assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial situation and objectives.
However, mutual funds sponsored by DFA are generally only available through registered investment advisors. Accordingly, the
Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by Arcadia to fully understand the total fees to be paid.
Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Wealth Management Services
Arcadia is compensated for its services in advance of the quarter in which investment advisory services are rendered. Investment
management services may be terminated upon 30 days written notice by either the Client or Arcadia. Upon notice provided to Arcadia,
unearned fees paid in advance to Arcadia will be ratably refunded. Clients may terminate the Advisory relationship during the first 5
days at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the
point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the
Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Financial Planning Services
Arcadia may be partially compensated for its financial planning services in advance of the engagement. Either party may terminate a
planning or consulting agreement at any time by providing written notice to the other party. In addition, the Client may terminate the
agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s financial planning agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-
day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due
and payable by the Client. The Client’s financial planning agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior
consent.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Arcadia is compensated for its services in advance of the quarter in which retirement plan advisory services are rendered. Either party
may request to terminate their services with Arcadia, at any time, in whole or in part, by providing advance written notice to the other
party. The Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid investment advisory fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the
quarter. The Client shall be responsible for advisory fees up to and including the effective date of termination. The Client’s retirement
plan advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Arcadia does not buy or sell securities and does not receive any compensation for securities transactions in any Client account, other
than the investment advisory fees noted above.
8
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Arcadia does not charge any performance-based fees, that is, fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of
clients’ assets.
Arcadia does not do any Side-by-Side management. Side-by-Side Management refers to managing some accounts that are charged a
performance-based fee, and others that are charged an asset-based fee.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Arcadia offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, retirement plans, trusts, and estates. The
amount of each type of Client is available on the Advisor's Form ADV Part 1A. These amounts may change over time and are updated
at least annually by the Advisor.
Arcadia’s ideal Clients are individuals and families with investment assets between $1 million to $10 million.
Arcadia generally requires a minimum account size of $500,000 in assets under management. Arcadia’s minimum account size is
negotiable at the Advisor’s sole discretion.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Arcadia uses globally diversified and balanced portfolios. Arcadia's basic philosophy is that the markets are efficient, and that it is not
possible to outperform the market by making forecasts. Therefore, Arcadia does not choose individual securities that will outperform
the market, nor does Arcadia forecast when the markets are going to go up or down, or which asset classes are likely to outperform
other asset classes. Arcadia believes this approach typically leads to a tax-efficient, low-turnover portfolio.
Equity mutual funds are selected in the following asset classes: US Stocks, International Stocks, Emerging Markets Stocks, and Real
Estate Stocks. Generally, the equity portion of the portfolio is small company-tilted and value-tilted, as based on the academic
research of Eugene Fama, Kenneth French and others.
Fixed income securities and fixed income mutual funds are selected in the following asset classes: Short-Term Bonds, Intermediate-
Term Bonds. Bonds should have high quality (rated BBB or above). Foreign bond mutual funds typically have the currency hedged to
the US dollar.
Arcadia believes that portfolios must be monitored regularly, and rebalanced when allocations have changed enough to significantly
affect the targeted risk exposure of that portfolio.
While Arcadia employs all of these investment methodologies in an attempt to optimize the risk-adjusted returns of client portfolios,
risk can never be eliminated. Investing in securities, including mutual funds, always involves risk of loss which clients should expect
to bear. Specifically, client portfolios are exposed to the following primary risks.
• Market Risk – Economic, political, and issuer-specific events may cause the value of securities to rise or fall.
• Small Company Risk – Securities of small companies are often less liquid than those of large companies. As a result, small
company stocks may fluctuate relatively more in price.
• Foreign Securities and Currencies Risk – Foreign securities prices may decline or fluctuate because of economic or political
actions of foreign governments, and/or because of less regulated or less liquid securities markets. Investors holding these
securities are also exposed to foreign currency risk (the possibility that foreign currency may fluctuate in value against the
U.S. dollar).
• Emerging Markets Risk – Numerous emerging market countries have experienced serious economic and political problems.
Stock markets in many emerging market countries are relatively small, expensive to trade and risky. Foreigners are
sometimes limited in their ability to invest in, and withdraw assets from these markets.
9
• Credit Risk – Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security may be unable to make interest payments and/or repay
principal when due. A downgrade to an issuer’s credit rating or a perceived change in an issuer’s financial strength may
affect a security’s value.
•
Interest Rate Risk – Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk because the prices of fixed income securities tend
to move in the opposite direction of interest rates. In general, fixed income securities with longer maturities are more
sensitive to these price changes.
Income Risk – Income risk is the potential for a decline in the fund’s income due to falling interest rates.
•
•
Inflation Risk – Inflation risk, also called purchasing power risk, is the chance that the cash flow from an investment won’t
be worth as much in the future because of changes in purchasing power due to inflation.
• Mutual Fund Risks - The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The
price of the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a
mutual fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same price
as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
• ETF Risks - The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the
ETFs will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk
based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs has a large bid-ask spread
and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may dissociate from the
index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased or sold at one point in the day
may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve a risk of loss that
each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission instituted an administrative order and monetary fine against Arcadia for failure to
adhere to rule 206(4)-2 and 206(4)-7 of the Advisers Act, collectively deemed the “Custody Rule”. The Advisor did not have custody
audits performed, between the years of 2013 to 2019, over client assets while maintaining custody, where policies and procedures
were not reasonably implemented to ensure adherence. Please see additional details on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure
website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov and can be found by searching with our firm name or our CRD# 165504.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Arcadia is an independent investment advisory firm.
Arcadia is not a broker-dealer, futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading adviser and there are no
principals or employees who are registered representatives of any of these types of firms. Arcadia does not have any relationships or
arrangements that could create a material conflict of interest for clients with any of the following: broker-dealer, municipal securities
dealer, government securities dealer or broker, investment company or other pooled investment vehicle, other investment advisor or
financial planner, futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or other commodity trading adviser, banking or thrift
institution, accountant or accounting firm, lawyer or law firm, insurance company or agency, pension consultant, real estate broker or
dealer, sponsor or syndicator of limited partnerships.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
To avoid any potential conflicts of interest involving personal trades, Arcadia has adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”), which
includes a formal code of ethics and insider trading policies and procedures. Arcadia’s Code requires, among other things, that all
persons associated with Arcadia (our “Supervised Persons”):
§ Act with integrity, competence, diligence, respect, and in an ethical manner with the public, clients, prospective clients,
employers, employees, colleagues in the investment profession, and other participants in the global capital markets;
10
§
Place the integrity of the investment profession, the interests of clients, and the interests of Arcadia above one’s own personal
interests;
§ Adhere to the fundamental standard that you should not take inappropriate advantage of your position;
§ Avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest;
§ Conduct all personal securities transactions in a manner consistent with this policy;
§ Use reasonable care and exercise independent professional judgment when conducting investment analysis, making
§
investment recommendations, taking investment actions, and engaging in other professional activities;
Practice and encourage others to practice in a professional and ethical manner that will reflect credit on yourself and the
profession;
Promote the integrity of, and uphold the rules governing, capital markets;
§
§ Maintain and improve your professional competence and strive to maintain and improve the competence of other investment
professionals.
§ Comply with applicable provisions of the federal securities laws.
Arcadia’s Code also requires Supervised Persons with access to Client account information (our “Access Persons”) to report personal
securities transactions on at least a quarterly basis, and provide Arcadia with a detailed summary of certain holdings (at the start of
employment and annually thereafter) over which such Access Persons have a direct or indirect beneficial interest.
If Arcadia ever recommends a security in which it, or its Access Persons buy and/or sell for themselves, Arcadia with ensure that the
price paid or received by its advisory clients for any investment shall not be affected by a buying or selling interest on the part of
Arcadia or its Access Persons, or otherwise result in an inappropriate advantage to Arcadia or its Access Persons. At no time will
Arcadia or any Access Persons, transact in any security to the detriment of any Clients.
A copy of Arcadia’s Code shall be provided to any Client or prospective client upon request. To request a copy of our Code of Ethics,
please contact us at (631) 549-5400.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Arcadia does not have discretionary authority to engage the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and execution services. The Client
will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the “Custodian”) to safeguard its Client’s assets and authorize Arcadia to direct trades
to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement. Further, Arcadia does not have the discretionary authority to
negotiate commissions on behalf of our Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where Arcadia does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the Custodian[s] to Clients for
execution and/or custody services. Arcadia may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness
of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, and location of the Custodian's offices. Clients are not
obligated to use the recommended Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a
custodian not recommended by Arcadia.
Arcadia will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co. (“Schwab”). Schwab will serve as
the Client’s “qualified custodian”. In addition to custody services, Schwab provides Arcadia’s Clients with valuable recordkeeping
and research services. Arcadia, on a periodic and systematic basis, reviews its brokerage relationship with its broker-
dealers/custodians to ensure that it is fulfilling its fiduciary duty to seek best execution on Client transactions.
Research provided by Schwab may include furnishing advice, either directly or through publications or writings, as to the value of
securities, the advisability of purchasing or selling specific securities and the availability of purchasers or sellers of securities;
furnishing seminars, information, analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, trading markets and methods,
legislative developments, changes in accounting practices, economic factors and trends and portfolio strategy; access to research
analysts, corporate management personnel, industry experts, economists and government officials; comparative performance
evaluation and technical measurement services and quotation services; and products and other services (such as third party
publications, reports and analyses, and computer and electronic access, equipment, software, information and accessories that deliver,
process or otherwise use information, including the research described above, and charitable activities) that assist the registrant in
carrying out its responsibilities. Research received from brokers or dealers is supplemental to Arcadia's own research efforts.
11
Arcadia does not enter into agreements with broker-dealers/custodians regarding specific amounts of brokerage as a result of the
research provided. However, the commission rates generally paid by Arcadia’s discretionary clients sufficiently allow executing
brokers to provide Arcadia with fairly full array of normal research services. This may include information and products regarding the
receipt of duplicate trade confirmations and account statements, trading desk access, the ability to aggregate Clients’ securities
transactions, the ability to directly debit advisory fees from Clients’ accounts, receipt of compliance publications, access to mutual
funds which generally require significantly higher minimum initial investments or are generally available only to institutional
investors, access to research analysts and attendance at research seminars
Arcadia believes that it would obtain the research and other products and services provided by Schwab regardless of the amount of
commissions it generates throughout the year.
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor enters into an agreement
to place security trades with the broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and other services. Arcadia participates in a soft
dollar relationship with Schwab, where they can obtain additional benefits such as access to research and other technology platforms.
2. Brokerage Referrals - Arcadia does not receive any compensation from any third-party in connection with the recommendation for
establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where Arcadia will place trades within the
established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are traded within their respective
account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security from or to the Advisor’s own account)
or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]).
Arcadia will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest
available transaction costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the most favorable net
results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill
required of the Custodian. Arcadia will execute its transactions through the Custodian as authorized by the Client. Arcadia may
aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary)
accounts. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of
each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This must
be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage particular Client accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Arcadia. Formal reviews are generally conducted at
least annually or more or less frequently depending on the Client’s needs. The President or CEO conducts each portfolio review.
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A. above, Arcadia also reviews an account whenever there is a contribution
or a withdrawal, and whenever Arcadia’s computerized monitoring system indicates that the total value of a Client’s stock market
investments has moved away by more than a pre-determined amount from its targeted percentage of the portfolio.
C. Review Reports
Arcadia provides a written asset and allocation report to Clients. These reports are given at periodic in-person review meetings, mailed
or emailed before periodic phone reviews, or mailed to the client without a review. The frequency of the reviews varies based on an
agreement with the Client and in coordination with varying service levels based on the amount of investment assets, advisory fees, and
complexity of planning.
12
Charles Schwab and/or other custodians also send the Clients a confirmation of transactions, and a monthly or quarterly summary
report of all transactions, holdings, contributions and withdrawals.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by Arcadia
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
Arcadia has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a division of Schwab
dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like Arcadia. As a registered investment advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor
Services platform, Arcadia receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment
management services to Clients that maintain assets at Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor
and many, but not all services provided by Schwab will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at
all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a
custodian creates a potential conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's recommendation of this custodian
over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products,
execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access
certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be able to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor
may be able to invest in certain mutual funds and other investments without having to adhere to investment minimums that might be
required if the Client were to directly access the investments.
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to technology, research, discounts
and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for Client accounts, the ability to deduct advisory fees,
trading tools, and back office support services as part of its relationship with Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor
in effectively managing accounts for its Clients, but may not directly benefit all Clients.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services to Arcadia that may not benefit the Client, including:
educational conferences and events, consulting services and discounts for various service providers. Access to these services creates a
financial incentive for the Advisor to recommend Schwab, which results in a potential conflict of interest. Arcadia believes, however,
that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
If an investment advisor has the ability to access or control Client funds or securities, the investment advisor may be deemed to have
custody and must ensure proper procedures are implemented. All Clients must place their assets with a “qualified custodian”. Clients
are required to engage the Custodian to retain their funds and securities and authorize Arcadia to utilize the Custodian for the Client’s
security transactions. Arcadia encourages Clients to review statements provided by the Custodian. For more information about
custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 - Brokerage Practices.
If the Client gives the Advisor authority to move money from one account to another account, the Advisor may have custody of those
assets. In order to avoid additional regulatory requirements in these cases, the Custodian and the Advisor have adopted safeguards to
ensure that the money movements are completed in accordance with the Client’s instructions.
Walter F Wisniewski, Jr. serves as a trustee on a Client’s irrevocable trusts. As trustee, Walter has custody of client assets owned by
the trusts.
For accounts where Arcadia may be deemed to have custody, Arcadia has established the following procedures to comply with the
SEC’s Custody Rule:
• All Client funds and securities are held at a “qualified custodian”, in a separate account for each Client under that Client’s name.
13
• Clients or an independent representative of the Client will direct, in writing, the establishment of all accounts and therefore are
aware of the qualified custodian’s name, address and the manner in which the funds or securities are maintained.
• Account statements are delivered directly the qualified custodian to each Client, or the Client’s independent representative, at
least quarterly. Clients should carefully review those statements and are urged to compare the statements against reports received
from Arcadia. When Clients have questions about their account statements, they should contact Arcadia or the qualified
custodian preparing the statement.
• Surprise Independent Examination - As Arcadia is deemed to have custody over certain Client’s assets the Advisor is required to
engage an independent accounting firm to perform an annual surprise examination of those assets and accounts over which
Arcadia maintains custody. Any related opinions issued by an independent accounting firm are filed with the SEC and are
publicly available on the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website http://www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Arcadia generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client accounts without obtaining
prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be subject to specified investment objectives,
guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to by Arcadia. Discretionary authority will only be authorized
upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory
agreement containing all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Arcadia will be in accordance with
each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Although Arcadia may have discretionary authority to make investment decisions on behalf of the client, Arcadia will not exercise
proxy or class action voting authority over the client securities. The obligation to vote the client proxies and class actions will always
remain with the client. The client shall in no way be prohibited from contacting Arcadia for advice or information about a particular
proxy or class action vote. However, Arcadia shall not be deemed to have proxy or class action voting authority solely as a result of
providing such advice to the client.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Arcadia does not have any financial condition that is reasonable likely to impair its ability to meet contractual commitments to clients.
Neither the Advisor, nor any of its Advisory Persons, has been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Arcadia is not
required to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect fees of $1,200 or more for
services to be performed six months or more in advance.
