Item 4. Advisory Business
Firm Description
ASSET MANAGEMENT ADVISORS, LLC, (“AMA”) was founded in 1996.
Jerry M. Williams and Scott G. Davis formed AMA for the purpose of
providing “Family Office” services to an inter-generational group of related
families requiring centralized financial management. As previously reported in
“Material Changes”, Scott G. Davis retired at the end of 2017. AMA serves
not only related family groups but also unrelated individual investors.
AMA provides these services to individuals, families, limited liability
companies, trusts, corporations and retirement plans.
As of December 31, 2025, AMA manages approximately $221,273,000 in
assets for approximately 101 clients. Approximately $221,273,000 is
managed on a discretionary basis, and $000 is managed on a non-
discretionary basis.
AMA is a “Fee Only” advisor. AMA requires a minimum of $1,000,000 per
relationship in investable assets. All accounts are managed on a full
discretion basis with a total return objective.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
AMA invests in stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, mutual funds and
like securities. Client securities are held in their individual accounts at Charles
Schwab & Co., Inc. Clients authorize AMA to trade the securities they hold by
the use of a Limited Power of Attorney which enables AMA to place and
settles trades in the client’s Schwab account.
AMA also manages the investable securities owned by irrevocable trusts
that are held by corporate trustees. Trades for the benefit of the trusts are
made through Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. but settle using a system called
“Delivery vs. Payment” (DVP). The corporate trustees have their own
custodians and Schwab settles the trade with those custodians via the DVP
system.
FAMILY OFFICE SERVICES
AMA provides accounting and recordkeeping services to individuals,
families, limited liability companies, and trusts. The services include
assistance with wealth management, bill paying and other administrative
services.
AMA works with its clients and their attorneys to develop and implement
comprehensive estate plans. AMA also works with its clients and their CPA’s
to review and implement tax strategies and support the preparation of
income, gift and estate tax returns.
- 1 -
Asset Management Advisors LLC
OIL AND GAS MANAGEMENT
AMA manages both royalty and non-operated working interests for the
benefit of clients. AMA collects oil and gas revenue and pays working interest
billings for the clients. AMA uses a specialized accounting system to maintain
records of revenue and expense by property.
Family Office and Oil and Gas Management clients maintain bank
accounts with a bank or banks in Oklahoma City. AMA has signature authority
on these accounts. AMA contracts with a CPA firm to conduct annual audits
of these accounts.
AMA prepares and distributes reports to clients at the end of each
calendar quarter. The reports, which are prepared in a “year to date” fashion,
include all of the activities AMA is performing for the client.
Principal Owners
Jerry M. Williams is a 50% owner. Laura A. Roy is a 50% owner.
Types of Advisory Services
AMA provides investment supervisory and management services; issues
quarterly letters to clients discussing various investment topics; and issues
special reports to clients when market conditions warrant.
On more than an occasional basis, AMA furnishes advice to clients on
wealth management issues that often include gift and estate planning.
Tailored Relationships
Investment policy statements are created that reflect the client’s stated
goals and objective.
Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities, or
classes of securities.
Types of Agreements
The following agreement defines the typical client relationships.
Managerial Agency Agreement:
A Managerial Agency relationship may include: Investment Management
(including performance reporting); Family Office Services; and or Oil and Gas
Management as discussed in the “Firm Description” on page 1.
Although the Managerial Agency Agreement is an ongoing agreement, the
length of service to the client is at the client’s discretion. The client or the
investment manager may terminate the relationship by written notice to the
other party.
- 2 -
Asset Management Advisors LLC
Managerial Agency Agreements may not be assigned without client consent.
Investment Management
Assets are invested primarily in equity securities of financially strong, well-
managed companies at market prices significantly below their business value.
Investments may include: equities (stocks), exchange-traded funds, warrants,
corporate debt securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, municipal
securities, investment company securities (mutual funds shares), U. S.
government securities, options contracts, futures contracts, and interests in
partnerships.
Initial public offerings (IPOs) are not available through AMA.
Stocks and bonds will be purchased or sold through the client’s brokerage
account.
Other than the services received from Schwab as described on page 10, AMA
does not receive compensation, in any form, from brokerage firms or fund
companies.
Termination of Agreement
The managerial agency agreement may be terminated by either the client or
AMA at any time with written notice. The termination is effective no later than
thirty (30) days from receipt of the notice. Upon termination, all unearned
prepaid fees will be promptly refunded to the client.
In the event AMA is managing a family office or oil & gas properties for the
client at the time of termination, the time period for completion of the
termination of services will be negotiated with the client in order to facilitate an
orderly transfer of the management to the client or designated successor.
Should the client terminate the agreement within five (5) days of its execution
there will be no fee assessed for any advisory services rendered before the
agreement was terminated.
Item 5. Fees and Compensation
Description
AMA is a “fee only” investment advisor.
AMA bases its Investment Management fees on a percentage of assets under
management
The annual Managerial Agency Agreement fee for Investment Management is
based on a percentage of the investable assets according to the following
tiered schedule:
1.00% on the first $1,000,000
- 3 -
Asset Management Advisors LLC
0.80% on the next $2,000,000 (from 1,000,001 to 3,000,000); and
0.50% on the assets above $3,000,000.
AMA does not charge a minimum annual fee. AMA’s fees are negotiable.
Current client relationships may exist where the fees differ from the fee
schedule above.
Fees for Family Office activities and Oil and Gas Management are a
combination of fixed fees, percentage of revenues and hourly charges. Fee
schedules are available upon request.
Fee Billing
Investment management fees are taken quarterly in advance. The fee is
based on the market value of the account as of the calculation date. The
securities pricing is the same as is used by Schwab for their monthly client
statements. The value used by AMA will differ from the value reported by
Schwab should a trade be made that will settle after the calculation date.
AMA uses “trade date” for its reports while Schwab uses “settlement date” for
its reports. AMA also includes the accrued interest on bonds while Schwab
does not.
When clients complete the Limited Power of Attorney for trading they also
authorizes Schwab to pay AMA’s fee directly from the client’s account. At the
time the fee is taken, AMA sends a copy of the fee invoice to the client.
Schwab also notifies the client that a fee has been taken.
The fees for Family Office and Oil & Gas Management are computed monthly
and quarterly. The fee is taken from the client bank account maintained by
AMA for operation of the Family Office and or Oil and Gas Management
relationship. AMA sends a copy of the fee invoice to the client when fees are
taken.
Fees for all other services are taken quarterly from either the client’s account
at Schwab or the client bank account maintained by AMA.
Other Fees
Custodians may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of certain
mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. These transaction charges are
usually small and incidental to the purchase or sale of a security. The
selection of the security is more important than the nominal fee that the
custodian charges to buy or sell the security.
Expense Ratios
Mutual funds and exchange-traded funds charge a management fee for their
services as investment managers. The management fee is a part of the costs
that are reported as an expense ratio. For example, an expense ratio of 0.50
- 4 -
Asset Management Advisors LLC
means that the mutual fund company charges 0.5% for their services. These
fees are in addition to the fees paid by the client to AMA.
Item 6. Performance-Based Fees
AMA does not use a performance-based fee structure because of the
potential conflict of interest. Performance-based compensation may create
an incentive for the adviser to recommend an investment that may carry a
higher degree of risk to the client.
Item 7. Types of Clients
Description
AMA generally provides investment advice and management to individuals,
family limited liability companies, trusts, corporations and retirement plans.
As stated on page 1, AMA provides a full range of services to its clients.
Client relationships vary in scope and length of service.
Account Minimums
The minimum relationship size is $1,000,000 of assets under management,
which equates to an annual fee of $10,000.
AMA has the discretion to waive the relationship minimum.
Relationships of less than $1,000,000 may be set up if AMA and the client
believe they can attain a mutually beneficial relationship comparable to those
relationships with AMA clients having investable assets greater than
$1,000,000. Other exceptions will apply to employees of AMA and their
relatives, or relatives of existing clients.
Account Minimums do not apply to Family Office and Oil & Gas Management
clients. Potential Family Office and Oil & Gas Management clients enter into
negotiations with AMA to determine both the extent of the relationship and the
fee to be charged for those services.
Item 8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk
of Loss
Methods of Analysis
AMA uses fundamental analysis when analyzing securities.
The main sources of information include financial newspapers and
magazines, research materials prepared by others, corporate rating services,
- 5 -
Asset Management Advisors LLC
annual reports, prospectuses, filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and company press releases.
Other sources of information that AMA may use include Morningstar, Seeking
Alpha Premium, Value Line, Charles Schwab & Company's research
services, and other like services or publications.
Investment Strategies
All client accounts are managed on a full discretion basis with a total return
(income plus capital gain) objective.
AMA is a value investor. AMA views equity investment as ownership in a
business enterprise. AMA seeks to achieve superior long term performance
primarily by acquiring equity securities of financially strong, well-managed
companies at market prices significantly below their business value.
AMA also invests in bonds and preferred stock to provide a more steady
source of cash for the portfolio. At certain times AMA may invest in a mutual
fund or exchange-traded fund that offers a specific opportunity consistent with
our strategy but which we are unable to effectively capture in a portfolio of
individual securities.
AMA may also use margin transactions and option writing (covered calls)
when investment opportunities warrant.
In making investment decisions, AMA distinguishes between two types of risk
which are stock price volatility and permanent loss of capital. Since AMA’s
focus is on long-term total return it is not concerned with the risk of short-term
volatility, however AMA is very concerned with the risk of permanent loss of
capital.
AMA believes that the risk of permanent loss of capital is also reduced by
limiting the number of holdings or positions in a portfolio. Broad diversification
is commonly viewed as a means of reducing risk, and it does reduce short
term price volatility risk. However, AMA believes it is a poor surrogate for
knowledgeable, careful stock selection that is focused on limiting the risk of
permanent loss of capital.
AMA applies its views by constructing portfolios invested in 15 to 25 securities
representing several reasonably non-correlated sectors of the market. The
investments are closely monitored and always represent AMA’s best
investment ideas.
AMA will begin to sell a security, when in its opinion, the security has become
fully valued and or there are other more compelling investment opportunities
available in the market. AMA will also sell a security when there has been a
fundamental change in the business that changes the long term outlook or
when AMA determines that it made a mistake in its valuation of the business.
Each client executes an Investment Policy Statement that documents their
objectives and their desired investment strategy.
- 6 -
Asset Management Advisors LLC
While exercising its investment discretion in planning trades, AMA takes into
consideration several factors including but not limited to:
Income tax impact of a trade
Legacy holdings and possible related restrictions
Client imposed restrictions
Cash available for investment
Stock Market Environment
Individual security weighting within the portfolio
The effect of one or more of these limitations could result in a client not
being added to either a block purchase or sale of securities. The client’s
performance will differ from that of other clients as a result of the
constraints placed on the portfolio.
Risk of Loss
All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. As
stated above, AMA’s investment approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in
mind. Investors face the following investment risks:
Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment
prices to fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on
existing bonds become less attractive, causing their market values to
decline.
Market Risk: The price of a security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in
reaction to tangible and intangible events and conditions. This type of
risk is caused by external factors independent of a security’s particular
underlying circumstances. For example, political, economic and social
conditions may trigger market events.
Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar next year
will not buy as much as a dollar today, because purchasing power is
eroding at the rate of inflation.
Currency Risk: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the
value of the dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating
country. This is also referred to as exchange rate risk.
Reinvestment Risk: This is the risk that future proceeds from
investments may have to be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of
return (i.e. interest rate). This primarily relates to fixed income
securities.
Business Risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or
a particular company within an industry. For example, oil & gas drilling
and exploration companies depend on finding and producing oil & gas,
a lengthy process, before they can generate a profit. They carry a
- 7 -
Asset Management Advisors LLC
higher risk of profitability than an electric utility company, which
generates its income from a steady stream of customers who buy
electricity no matter what the economic environment is like.
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment
into cash. Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are
interested in a standardized product. For example, Treasury Bills are
highly liquid, while real estate properties are not.
Financial Risk: Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations
increases the risk of profitability, because the company must meet the
terms of its obligations in good times and bad. During periods of
financial stress, the inability to meet loan obligations may result in
bankruptcy and/or a declining market value.
Item 9. Disciplinary Information
Legal and Disciplinary
The firm and its employees have not been involved in legal or disciplinary
events related to past or present investment clients.
Item 10. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Financial Industry Activities
None.
Affiliations
AMA is an independent firm.
It does not have arrangements with a broker-dealer, investment company,
other investment advisor, financial planning firm, commodity pool operator,
commodity trading adviser or futures commission merchant, banking or thrift
institution, accounting firm, law firm, insurance company or agency, pension
consultant, real estate broker or dealer, or an entity that creates or packages
limited partnerships.
Item 11. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics
The employees of AMA have committed to a Code of Ethics that specifically
addresses their fiduciary duty to AMA’s clients.
A copy is available for review by clients and prospective clients upon request.
- 8 -
Asset Management Advisors LLC
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
AMA anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’
investment objectives, it will cause accounts over which AMA has
management authority to purchase or sell securities in which AMA’s members
and employees have a position of interest. AMA’s members and employees
are required to follow AMA’s Code of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy
and applicable laws, members and employees of AMA may trade for their
own accounts in securities which are purchased for AMA’s clients.
The Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities
transactions, activities and interests of the members and employees of AMA
do not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory
clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing
members and employees to invest for their own accounts.
Member and employee trading is continually monitored under the Code of
Ethics to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between AMA and its clients.
Employees accounts may be traded along with client accounts when making
“Block Trades”. See discussion at “Order Aggregation”.
Personal Trading
The Chief Compliance Officer of AMA is Laura A. Roy. She reviews all
employee trades each quarter. Her trades are reviewed by Jerry M. Williams.
The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of employees is
in compliance with AMA’s Code of Ethics, and a conflict of interest between
the clients of AMA and its members and employees has not occurred.
Item 12. Brokerage Practices
Selecting Brokerage Firms
AMA does not have any affiliation with product sales firms. Specific custodian
recommendations are made to Clients based on their need for such services.
AMA recommends custodians based on the proven integrity and financial
responsibility of the firm and the best execution of orders at reasonable
commission rates.
AMA request that its clients use Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab) a
registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, as their broker / custodian. Should
its clients require a corporate trustee, AMA requests that they use The Trust
Company of Oklahoma.
Should a client or potential client choose another broker / custodian or trust
company than Schwab or Trust Company of Oklahoma, AMA may choose not
to manage the account.
AMA does not receive fees or commissions from any of these arrangements.
- 9 -
Asset Management Advisors LLC
Best Execution
AMA reviews the execution of trades each quarter. The review is
documented as specified in the AMA Policy and Procedure Manual. AMA
does not receive any portion of the brokerage commissions.
Soft Dollars
AMA does not receive “Soft Dollars”.
AMA does receive a benefit from Schwab Advisor Services.
Schwab Advisor Services provides AMA and its clients with access to
institutional brokerage and support services, many of which are not typically
available to Schwab retail customers.
Some of the services provided by Schwab help AMA manage or administer its
client’s accounts, while other services help AMA manage its business.
The availability of these services from Schwab benefits AMA because it does
not have to purchase them.
The receipt of these services gives AMA an incentive to request that clients
maintain their accounts with Schwab, based on AMA’s interest in receiving
Schwab’s services that benefit AMA’s business rather than based on the
clients’ interest in receiving the best value in custody services and the most
favorable execution for their transactions.
This creates a conflict of interest.
AMA believes, however, that its selection of Schwab as custodian and broker
is in the best interest of its clients. AMA’s selection is primarily supported by
the scope, quality and price of Schwab’s services and not Schwab’s services
that benefit only AMA.
Order Aggregation
AMA will usually aggregate trade orders if a particular security is being
purchased or sold by numerous accounts at the same time. The practice of
order aggregation, also known as block trading, is done for convenience and
to facilitate best execution. AMA may use “limit orders” to help achieve best
execution when conducting block trades. All of the trading accounts share in
the aggregated price of the security.
When trading in thinly traded securities and or multi-million dollar
transactions, at AMA’s request, Charles Schwab & Co. will work the trade
over the course of the trading day to achieve the best price.
As stated previously, the members and employees of AMA may participate in
“Block Trades” along with the clients of AMA.
- 10 -
Asset Management Advisors LLC
Item 13. Review of Accounts
Periodic Reviews
Accounts are reviewed continuously and in detail on a monthly basis.
The accounts are reviewed by Mr. Williams and Mrs. Roy. Mr. Williams
reviews all accounts with a particular focus on the securities held in each
client account or group as well as any significant additions or withdrawals
planned by the client. Mrs. Roy reviews all accounts with her focus being the
daily and monthly flow of funds into and out of each client group as well as
special transactions being undertaken by clients.
Mrs. Roy also reviews all of the client reports at the end of each calendar
quarter.
Review Triggers
Reviews of securities held in the client’s portfolios are triggered by news
releases, conference calls, articles in business publications and economic or
political events affecting a particular company. Other reviews are triggered by
a change in the client’s financial objectives or condition.
Regular Reports
Clients receive year to date reports at the end of each calendar quarter.
The reports provide an account snapshot “Portfolio Summary”, a detail listing
of security and cash positions “Portfolio Appraisal”, a year to date
“Performance Report”, an analysis of realized gains and losses “Realized
Gain / Loss Report”, a recap of the cash activity in the account and a detail
report of the income received and expenses paid from the account.
The annual report contains all of the reports listed above and a report of
“Historical Performance” which computes the account performance from the
inception of AMA’s management of the account.
Clients with multiple accounts received combined reports. The combined
reports are “Combined Portfolio Summary”, “Combined Portfolio Appraisal”
and “Combined Performance Report”.
AMA produces a more extensive set of reports for Family Office and Oil and
Gas Management clients. An example of those statements is available upon
request.
Item 14. Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Incoming Referrals
AMA has been fortunate to receive many client referrals over the years. The
referrals come from clients, estate planning attorneys, accountants,
- 11 -
Asset Management Advisors LLC
employees, personal friends of employees and other similar sources. The
firm does not compensate referring parties for these referrals.
Referrals Out
AMA does not accept referral fees or any form of remuneration from other
professionals when a prospect or client is referred to them.
Other Compensation
AMA does not receive any type of compensation from third parties nor does it
pay any type of compensation to third parties.
Item 15. Custody
AMA, Jerry M. Williams and Laura A. Roy have Custody of client assets in the
following instances:
AMA has been named Manager of a Limited Liability Company
Jerry M. Williams and or Laura A. Roy have been named Manager of a
Limited Liability Company.
Jerry M. Williams and or Laura A. Roy has been named Trustee or Co-
Trustee of a Trust.
Jerry M. Williams and or Laura A. Roy have been made an officer of a
Corporation.
Jerry M. Williams and or Laura A. Roy have control of a bank account for a
Family Office and or Oil and Gas Management client.
Account Statements

at qualified custodians, i.e. Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. or a bank. The
custodians provide account statements directly to clients at their address of
record. Clients are urged to compare the statements provided by the
custodians to the statements AMA provides at the end of each calendar
quarter.
In all situations described above, as required by regulations, AMA retains a
CPA firm to perform an annual surprise audit of the client accounts controlled
by AMA, Jerry M. Williams or Laura A. Roy. The CPA firm reports the result of
their audit to the US Securities and Exchange Commission and to the
Oklahoma Department of Securities.
Performance Reports
Clients are urged to compare the account statements received directly from
their custodians to the quarterly and annual performance reports in the
statements provided by AMA.
- 12 -
Asset Management Advisors LLC
Item 16. Investment Discretion
Discretionary Authority for Trading
All client accounts are managed on a full discretion basis. AMA has the
authority to determine, without obtaining specific client consent, the securities
to be bought or sold and the amount of the securities to be bought or sold.
AMA does not receive any portion of the transaction fees or commissions
paid by the client to the brokerage firm.
Discretionary trading authority facilitates placing trades in the client’s
accounts on their behalf so that AMA can promptly implement the investment
policy that the client has approved.
Limited Power of Attorney
The client executes a “Limited Power of Attorney” authorizing Schwab to
accept AMA’s instructions to make and settle trades in the client’s accounts.
Item 17. Voting Client Securities
Proxy Votes
Unless the client designates otherwise, AMA votes proxies for securities over
which it maintains discretionary authority consistent with its proxy voting
policy. A copy of AMA‘s proxy voting policy is available upon request.
Item 18. Financial Information
Financial Condition
AMA does not have any financial impairment that will preclude the firm from
meeting contractual commitments to clients.
