Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Avant Capital, LLC (“Avant Capital'' or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor located in the State of
Louisiana. The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) under the laws of Louisiana. Avant
Capital was founded in August 2012 and is owned and operated by Mark A. Avant (Founder and Chief
Compliance Officer) and Lisa Avant (Member). Avant Capital became a registered investment advisor in
January 2014. This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices,
and the advisory services provided by Avant Capital.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Avant Capital offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, and
retirement plans (each referred to as 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. Avant Capital’s fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s
Code of Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics,
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Investment Management Services
Avant Capital provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through
continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management
services. Avant Capital works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as
risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. Avant Capital will then construct an
investment portfolio consisting of low-cost, diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to
achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize individual stocks or bonds to meet the needs
of its Clients. 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.
Avant Capital’s investment approach is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell, or re-allocate
positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market
conditions. Avant Capital will construct, implement, and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals,
objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to
place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to
acceptance by the Advisor.
Avant Capital evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal
due diligence process. Avant Capital may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to
diversify the portfolio. Avant Capital may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class
weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market
movement. Avant Capital may recommend selling positions for reasons that include but are not limited to
harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities,
overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, changes in the risk tolerance of Clients,
generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
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 earns a new
(or increases 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.

At no time will Avant Capital accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited
authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed with the designated accounts[s] at
the Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Avant Capital provides retirement plan advisory services on behalf of retirement plans (each a “Plan”) and the
company (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the Plan
Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan. Each engagement is customized to the needs of the
Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services generally include:
Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
Investment Oversight Services (ERISA 3(21))
Investment Management Services (ERISA 3(38))
● Vendor Analysis
● Enrollment and Education Support
●
●
●
● Performance Reporting
● Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
● ERISA 404(c) Assistance
● Benchmarking Services
These services are provided by Avant Capital, serving in the capacity of 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 Avant Capital’s fiduciary status, the specific services to
be rendered, and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement.
Financial Planning Services
Avant Capital will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients, pursuant to
a written financial planning agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation,
depending on their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal
financial plan or rendering a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives.
This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment
planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings, and other areas of a Client’s financial
situation.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.
Avant Capital may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their
unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the
Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the
Advisor may not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months
of contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose 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 amount of 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 through the Advisor.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Avant Capital to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one
or more advisory agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority, and responsibilities of
the Advisor and the Client. These services may include:

● Establishing an Investment Strategy – Avant Capital, in connection with the Client, will develop a
strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
● Asset Allocation – Avant Capital will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation, and tolerance of risk for each Client.
● Portfolio Construction – Avant Capital will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the
●
stated goals and objectives of the Client.
Investment Management and Supervision – Avant Capital will provide investment management and
ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Avant Capital does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management
services are provided directly by Avant Capital.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, Avant Capital manages $176,206,195 in Client assets, $173,496,367 of which are
managed on a discretionary basis, and $2,709,828 are managed on a non-discretionary basis. Clients may
request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for investment management.
Each Client shall sign one or more advisory agreements that detail the responsibilities of Avant Capital and the
Client.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees range from of 0.95% to 2.00% annually, depending on the composition of assets,
services provided, and overall client relationship. For Clients that hold any of the below Security Types, the fee
for investment advisory services is blended with the annual rate as outlined:
Schedule A: Security Type
Annual Rate (%)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
0.10%
CDs
0.25%
Individual Bonds
0.35%
Certain clients may be subject to legacy fee schedules that differ from the above tiered schedules.
Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter pursuant to the terms of the
investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the market value of assets under
management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. For purposes of calculating advisory fees, assets under
management generally include cash positions (including cash held in cash management programs), as well as
accrued interest and dividends, unless otherwise determined by the Advisor in its discretion.
The Advisor imposes a minimum fee of $5 per month ($15 per quarter). Clients will be charged the greater of (i)
the applicable minimum fee or (ii) the advisory fee calculated based on the fee schedules set forth above and in
the client’s investment advisory agreement. In certain circumstances, the Advisor may waive the minimum fee at
its discretion or apply a different minimum fee arrangement for accounts that are subject to legacy or
grandfathered fee schedules, as disclosed in the client’s applicable advisory agreement.
In the event of additional deposits to a Client’s account during a billing period, the advisory fee attributable to
such assets will be prorated based on the number of days remaining in the quarter and typically assessed in

Phone: (337) 504-2221 * Fax: (866) 936-7964

www.avantcapitalllc.com
arrears, with any such adjustment reflected in the subsequent billing cycle. The Advisor does not automatically
adjust advisory fees for withdrawals made during a billing period. However, fee adjustments for withdrawals may
be made on a case-by-case basis at the sole discretion of the Advisor.
The investment advisory fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to
the end of the first quarter. Investment advisory fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The
Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management and types of securities held
with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by Avant Capital will be independently valued by the
Custodian. Avant Capital conducts periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuations 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. However,
the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual asset-based fee of up to 1.5% and are billed
quarterly at the end of each calendar quarter pursuant to the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement.
Retirement plan advisory fees are based on the market value of assets in the Plan at the end of the prior
quarter. The Advisor may also offer a fixed annual fee instead of an asset-based fee. Fees may be negotiable at
the sole discretion of the Advisor and are typically based on the size and complexity of the services provided to
the Plan.
Financial Planning Services
Avant Capital offers financial planning services either on an hourly basis or a fixed engagement fee. Hourly fees
are $200 per hour. Fixed fees generally start at $1,500 and are negotiable based on the complexity of the
services to be provided and the overall client relationship. Typically, 50% of the estimated fee is due upon
execution of the Financial Planning Agreement, with the remaining balance due upon completion of the
services. Fees may be negotiable based on the nature and complexity of the services to be provided and the
overall relationship with the Advisor. An estimate for total hours and/or total costs will be provided to the Client prior
to engaging for these services.
B. Fee Billing
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees will be calculated by the Advisor based on the above Schedules and deducted from
the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the
amount of the fees to be deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the beginning of the respective quarter. The
amount due is calculated by reviewing the asset breakdown of the clients account and applying the applicable
quarterly rate (annual rate divided by actual days in the upcoming calendar quarter per tier) to the total assets
under management with Avant Capital at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Clients will be provided with a
statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting the 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 advisory
fees to be deducted by Avant Capital 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.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement plan advisory 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 Avant Capital in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all securities execution and
custody fees charged by the Custodian, if 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

Phone: (337) 504-2221 * Fax: (866) 936-7964

www.avantcapitalllc.com
mutual funds and other types of investments. The fees charged by Avant Capital are separate and distinct from
these custody and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to Avant Capital 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. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of
Avant Capital, but would not receive the services provided by Avant Capital which are designed, among other
things, to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate to each Client’s
financial situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and
the fees charged by Avant Capital to fully understand the total fees to be paid.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Investment Management Services
Avant Capital is compensated for its investment management services in advance of the quarter in which
services are rendered. Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing
advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the agreement within five (5) business
days of signing the Advisor’s investment advisory agreement at no cost to the Client. Upon termination, advisory
fees for the final billing period will be prorated through the effective date of termination, and any unearned,
prepaid fees will be refunded to the Client. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-
transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Avant Capital is compensated for its retirement plan advisory services at the end of the calendar quarter after
services are rendered. Either party may terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by
providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the agreement within five (5)
business days of signing the Advisor’s retirement plan advisory 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. Upon termination, advisory fees for the final billing period will be
prorated through the effective date of termination, and any unearned, prepaid fees will be refunded to the Client.
The Client’s retirement plan services agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior
consent.
Financial Planning Services
Avant Capital is compensated for its financial planning services via a 50% deposit in advance of services being
rendered. Either party may terminate the financial planning agreement, at any time, by providing advance
written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the agreement within five (5) business days of
signing the Advisor’s investment advisory agreement at no cost to the Client. Upon termination, any unearned
prepaid fees will be refunded to the Client
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Avant Capital 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.
Insurance Agency Affiliation
Certain Advisory Persons are licensed as independent insurance professionals. As an independent insurance
professional, an Advisory Person may earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products,
including insurance products offered to Clients. Insurance commissions earned by the Advisory Person are
separate and in addition to investment advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest as an Advisory
Person who is also an insurance professional will have an incentive to recommend insurance products to the
Client for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on the Client’s needs. Clients are under
no obligation, contractual or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through any Advisory Person affiliated
with the Advisor. Please see Item 10 below.

Phone: (337) 504-2221 * Fax: (866) 936-7964
Page 8
www.avantcapitalllc.com
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Avant Capital does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged
by Avant Capital are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds
or securities held by any Client. Avant Capital does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited
partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any
particular investment options to its Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Avant Capital offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, and
retirement plans. The relative percentage of each type of Client is available on Avant Capital’s Form ADV Part 1.
These amounts may change over time and are updated at least annually by the Advisor.
Avant Capital generally requires a minimum account size of $3,000. The Advisor may waive or reduce this
minimum at its sole discretion based on the circumstances of the client relationship.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Avant Capital employs fundamental and technical analysis methods in developing investment strategies for its
Clients. Research and analysis from Avant Capital are derived from numerous sources, including financial
media companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities, including
annual reports, prospectuses, press releases, and research prepared by others.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. These criteria
are generally ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being
analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment
with a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a potential
investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment
criteria utilized in the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The
Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate.
More details on the Advisor’s review process are included in Item 13.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in determining
the recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts to identify market
patterns and trends, which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company.
The primary risk in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends
in the future. Even if the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that Avant Capital will be able to
accurately predict such a reoccurrence.
As noted above, Avant Capital generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent
with their Financial Goals. Client portfolios may be customized for each Client. Avant Capital will typically hold all
or a portion of a security for less than a year but may hold for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a
portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times, Avant Capital may also buy and sell positions that are
very short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector,
or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Avant Capital will assist Clients in determining an
appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no
guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk, and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client

participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the
Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the
provided information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial
condition, goals, or other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client
accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio
construction process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment approach:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well
as economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the
overall financial markets.
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 have a
large bid-ask spread and low volume. Authorized participants in an ETF may change at any time; this may result
in a change to the liquidity and the ability to redeem the ETF as the authorized participants control the number
of shares of the ETF. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may disassociate
from the index being tracked or from the value of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased or sold at one
point in the day may have a different value than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The value of
the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The value of a
mutual fund is typically set daily; therefore, a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have
the same value as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
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
There are no legal, regulatory, or disciplinary events involving Avant Capital or its owner. Avant Capital
values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite due
diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The background of the Advisor and its
Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov
by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 167961.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Insurance Agency Affiliation
As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are licensed insurance professionals. Implementations of insurance
recommendations are separate and apart from one’s role with the Advisor. As an insurance professional, the
Advisory Person will receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the various insurance
companies whose products are sold. Advisory Persons are not required to offer the products of any particular
insurance company. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset investment advisory fees. This
presents a conflict of interest in recommending certain products of the insurance companies. Clients are under no
obligation to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor or Advisory Persons.

Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions, and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Avant Capital has implemented a Code of Ethics that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to each Client.
This Code of Ethics applies to all persons associated with Avant Capital ( “Supervised Persons”). The Code of
Ethics was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s
duties to the Client. Avant Capital and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith
towards each Client. It is the obligation of Avant Capital Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific
provisions of the Code but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code of Ethics covers a range
of topics that may include; general ethical principles, reporting personal securities trading, reportable securities,
initial public offerings, and private placements, reporting ethical violations, distribution of the Code of Ethics,
review and enforcement processes, amendments to Form ADV and supervisory procedures. Avant Capital has
written its Code of Ethics to meet and exceed regulatory standards. To request a copy of the Code of Ethics,
please contact the Advisor at (337) 504-2221 or via email at mark@avantcapitalllc.com.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Avant Capital allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. Avant Capital does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the
Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund or advise an investment company. Avant Capital does not
have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Avant Capital allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to
Clients presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through
policies and procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code of Ethics, which addresses insider
trading (material non-public information controls), gifts and entertainment, outside business activities, and
personal securities reporting procedures. When trading personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict
of interest if trading in the same securities. The fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Client can be
violated if personal trades are made with more advantageous terms than Client trades or by trading based on
material non-public information. This risk is mitigated by Avant Capital requiring reporting of personal securities
trades by its Supervised persons for review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. The Advisor
has also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While Avant Capital allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be
recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or
traded afterward. At no time will Avant Capital or any Supervised Person of Avant Capital transact in any
security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Avant Capital does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and
execution services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard
Client assets and authorize Avant Capital to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed in the investment advisory
agreement. Further, Avant Capital does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf
of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where Avant Capital does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the
Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended
Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost associated with using a broker-dealer/custodian not
recommended by Avant Capital. Avant Capital may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not
limited to, the reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client,
reputation, its reputation, and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices. Avant Capital does not receive research

www.avantcapitalllc.com
services, other products, or compensation as a result of recommending a particular custodian that may result in
the Client paying higher commissions than those obtainable through other custodians.
Avant Capital will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
(“Schwab”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Schwab will serve as the Client’s “qualified
Custodian.” Avant Capital maintains an institutional relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives
economic benefits from Schwab. Please see Item 14 below.
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 a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for
research and other services. Avant Capital does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored
or offered by any broker-dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic
benefits from the Custodian. Please see Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals – Avant Capital 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 Avant Capital 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]). Avant Capital 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. Avant Capital will execute its transactions
through the Custodian as directed by the Client.
Avant Capital 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 Clients’ accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Mr. Avant, Founder and CCO
of Avant Capital. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently depending on the
needs of the Client.
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a
result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large
deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify Avant Capital if changes
occur in his personal financial situation that might adversely affect his investment plan. Additional reviews may
be triggered by material market, economic, or political events.

www.avantcapitalllc.com
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to
the Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions, and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may
also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by Avant Capital
Avant Capital may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g., attorneys, accountants,
estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of Clients. Likewise, Avant
Capital may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
Avant Capital has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services”
unit, a division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like Avant Capital. As a registered
investment advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, Avant Capital 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 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 the 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 and support to Avant Capital
that may not benefit the Client, including educational conferences and events, financial start-up support,
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 conflict of interest. Avant Capital believes,
however, that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
Avant Capital does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons,
for Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
The Advisor is authorized to deduct its fees from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Client must place
all assets with a “qualified custodian”. The Client is required to engage the Custodian to retain all funds and
securities and direct the Advisor to utilize that Custodian for security transactions in the account[s]. The Client
should review statements provided by the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For more
information about custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.

Page 13
www.avantcapitalllc.com
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, the Custodian and the
Advisor have adopted safeguards to ensure that the money movements are completed in accordance with the
Client’s instructions.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Avant Capital 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 Avant Capital. 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 Avant Capital will be in accordance with
each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Avant Capital does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements
directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies; however, the
Client retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Avant Capital nor its management has any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the
ability of Avant Capital to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Avant Capital nor any of its Advisory Persons
have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Avant Capital is not required to deliver a balance
sheet along with this Brochure as the firm does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for services to be
performed six months or more in the future.
