Item 4 - Advisory Business
Ballew Advisors is a SEC-registered investment adviser with its principal place of business located in Jackson,
Mississippi. Ballew Advisors began conducting business in 1991 and is owned by S B Holding Company, Inc.
through the intermediate subsidiary Security Ballew, Inc. (also known as Ballew Wealth Management).
Ballew Advisors offers the following advisory services to our clients:
Investment Supervisory Services ("ISS")
Our firm provides continuous advice to clients regarding the investment of client funds based on the individual
needs of the client. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on a client's particular
circumstances are established, we develop a client's personal investment strategy. During our data-gathering
process, we determine the client’s individual objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. As
appropriate, we also review and discuss a client's prior investment history, as well as family composition and
background.
We manage these advisory accounts on a discretionary basis. Account supervision is guided by the client's
stated objectives and risk tolerance, as well as tax considerations.
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of securities, or industry
sectors.
Our investment advice is not limited to any specific product or service offered by a broker-dealer or insurance
company and will generally include advice regarding the following:
Mutual Fund Shares
Exchange Traded Funds
Exchange-listed securities
Securities traded over-the-counter
Foreign issuers
Warrants
Corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper)
Commercial paper
Certificates of deposit
United States governmental securities
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
The primary clients for Retirement Plan Advisory Services are pension, profit sharing and 401(k) plans.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services are comprised of the following distinct services. Clients may choose to use
any or all of these services.
Investment Policy: We will meet with the client (in person or over the telephone) to determine an appropriate
investment strategy that reflects the plan sponsor's stated investment objectives for management of the
overall plan.
[4]
Selection of Investment Vehicles: We assist plan sponsors in constructing appropriate asset allocations. The
number of investments to be recommended will be determined by the client.
Monitoring of Investment Performance: We monitor client investments on an ongoing basis. We supervise the
client's portfolio and will make recommendations to the client as market factors and the client's needs dictate.
Employee Communications: We provide plan participant advice on an ongoing basis with recommendations as
to asset allocation among investment fund options, fund managers and investment management style of
investment options.
Financial Planning/Social Security Consulting
Less than 5% of our business consists of financial planning/social security consulting services. As part of the
planning process, we gather required information through in-depth personal interviews. Information gathered
includes the client's current financial status, tax status, future goals, objectives and attitudes towards risk. We
carefully review documents supplied by the client and prepare a written broad-based plan.
In general, the plan can address any or all of the following areas: income tax planning, life and disability
insurance planning, estate planning, retirement planning, children's education planning, cash flow and
investment planning.
Depending upon any changes in a client's situation after delivery of a written plan, there may be investment
advice rendered which is incidental advice rather that advice by way of a written plan. These services may or
may not necessarily involve securities.
Recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a broker-dealer or insurance
company. All recommendations are of a generic nature.
Publication of Periodicals
Ballew Advisors publishes a monthly newsletter providing general information on various financial topics
including, but not limited to, state of the economy, market trends, etc. No specific investment
recommendations are provided in this newsletter and the information provided does not purport to meet the
objectives or needs of any individual. This newsletter is distributed free of charge to our advisory clients and
prospective clients.
Amount of Managed Assets
As of December 31, 2025, we were actively managing $1,296,126,408 of clients' assets on a discretionary basis
and $-0- of clients' assets on a non-discretionary basis.
[5]
Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
Investment Supervisory Services ("ISS") &
Retirement Plan Advisory Services Fees
Ballew Advisors charges an annual fee for its Investment Supervisory Services and Retirement Plan Advisory
Services. The fee is a percentage of the market value of all assets in the client account on a quarterly basis.
The fee is payable quarterly in advance. The fee schedule is as follows:
Assets Under Management
$0 - $150,000
$150,000 - $5,000,000
Over $5,000,000
Annual Fee
*2.0%
*1%
*Negotiated
*Limited Negotiability of Advisory Fees: Although Ballew Advisors has established the aforementioned fee
schedule, we retain the discretion to negotiate alternative fees on a client-by-client basis. Client facts,
circumstances and needs are considered in determining the fee schedule. These include the complexity of the
client, assets to be placed under management, anticipated future additional assets, related accounts, portfolio
style, and account composition, among other factors. The specific annual fee schedule is identified in the
contract between the adviser and each client.
Ballew Advisors reserves the right to change these fees provided we notify the client in writing at least sixty
(60) days prior to the effective date of such change, and the client accepts the change.
Discounts, not generally available to our advisory clients, may be offered to family members and friends of
associated persons of our firm.
A minimum of $100,000 of assets under management is required for these services. With respect to certain
clients, such as retirement plans with annual contributions, and clients having separate related accounts, we
will accept accounts of less than $100,000 on a discretionary basis.
Clients have the option to have quarterly fees automatically deducted from their account or to be billed
directly. Ballew Advisors sends a bill showing the amount of the advisory fee deducted or billed, the account
value on which the fee is based, and how the fee was calculated. If billed directly, client must agree to pay all
fees within 30 days of receipt of the invoice.
Financial Planning/Social Security Fees
Ballew Advisors’ financial planning/social security fee is determined based on the degree of responsibility
involved and the skill required in preparing and rendering the advice. After the initial consultation for planning
services, a fee is estimated by Ballew Advisors and quoted to the client for the client's agreement. An amount
agreed upon between the client and the Ballew Advisors representative, is due upon acceptance of planning
services.
[6]
General Information
Termination of the Advisory Relationship: All clients retain Ballew Advisors’ services by entering into a written
agreement. An agreement may be terminated by the client at any time for any reason or for no reason by
providing Ballew Advisors written notice. The client is obligated to pay advisory fees which would be pro-rated
through the date of termination (as discussed above, certain fees are paid in advance of services provided).
The date of termination is the latter of the delivery date of the notice of termination or the effective date the
client requests. An agreement may also be terminated by Ballew Advisors for any reason or for no reason by
providing thirty (30) days written notice to the client.
Mutual Fund Fees: All fees paid to Ballew Advisors for investment advisory services are separate and distinct
from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds and/or exchange traded funds to their shareholders.
These fees and expenses are described in each fund's prospectus. These fees will generally include a
management fee, other fund expenses, and a possible distribution fee. If the fund also imposes sales charges, a
client may pay an initial or deferred sales charge.
A client could invest in a mutual fund directly, without our services. In that case, the client would not receive
the services provided by our firm which are designed, among other things, to assist the client in determining
which mutual fund or funds are most appropriate to each client's financial condition and objectives.
Accordingly, the client should review both the fees charged by the funds and our fees to fully understand the
total amount of fees to be paid by the client and to thereby evaluate the advisory services being provided.
Additional Fees and Expenses: In addition to our advisory fees, clients are also responsible for the fees and
expenses charged by custodians and imposed by broker dealers, including, but not limited to, any transaction
charges imposed by a broker dealer with which an independent investment manager effects transactions for
the client's account(s). Please refer to the "Brokerage Practices" section (Item 12) of this Firm Brochure for
additional information.
Additional Compensation: Most investment adviser representatives of Ballew Advisors receive compensation
from other financial industry affiliates. Please refer to the "Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations"
section (Item 10) of this Firm Brochure for additional information.
Advisory Fees in General: Clients should note that similar advisory services may (or may not) be available from
other registered (or unregistered) investment advisers for similar fees.
Limited Prepayment of Fees: Under no circumstances do we require or solicit payment of fees in excess of
$1,200 more than six months in advance of services rendered.
ERISA Accounts: Ballew Advisors is deemed to be a fiduciary to advisory clients that are employee benefit plans
or individual retirement accounts (IRAs) pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"),
and regulations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), respectively. As such, our firm is
subject to specific duties and obligations under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code that include among other
things, restrictions concerning certain forms of compensation. To avoid engaging in prohibited transactions,
Ballew Advisors may only charge fees for investment advice about products for which our firm and/or our
related persons do not receive any commissions or 12b-1 fees, or conversely, investment advice about
products for which our firm and/or our related persons receive commissions or 12b-1 fees, however, only
when such fees are used to offset Ballew Advisors advisory fees.
[7]
Item 6 - Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Ballew Advisors does not charge performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital
appreciation of assets of the assets of a client).
Item 7 - Types of Clients
Ballew Advisors provides advisory services to the following types of clients:
Individuals (other than high net worth individuals)
High net worth individuals
Pension and profit sharing plans
Trusts, estates, or charitable organizations
Corporations or other businesses not listed above
As previously disclosed in Item 5, our firm has established certain initial minimum account requirements based
on the nature of the service(s) being provided.
Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
We use the following methods of analysis in formulating our investment advice and/or managing client assets:
Fundamental Analysis: We attempt to measure the intrinsic value of a security by looking at economic and
financial factors (including the overall economy, industry conditions, and the financial condition and
management of the company itself) to determine if the security is underpriced (indicating it may be a good
time to buy) or overpriced (indicating it may be time to sell). Fundamental analysis does not attempt to
anticipate market movements. This presents a potential risk, as the price of a security can move up or down
along with the overall market regardless of the economic and financial factors considered in evaluating the
security.
Technical Analysis: We analyze past market movements and apply that analysis to the present in an attempt to
recognize recurring patterns of investor behavior and potentially predict future price movement. Technical
analysis does not consider the underlying financial condition of a security. This presents a risk in that a poorly-
managed or financially unsound security may underperform regardless of market movement.
Risks for all forms of analysis: Our securities analysis methods rely on the assumption that the securities we
purchase and sell, the rating agencies that review these securities, and other publicly-available sources of
information about these securities, are providing accurate and unbiased data. While we are alert to indications
[8]
that data may be incorrect, there is always a risk that our analysis may be compromised by inaccurate or
misleading information.
Investment Strategies
We use the following strategy(ies) in managing client accounts:
Asset Allocation: Rather than focusing primarily on securities selection, we attempt to identify an appropriate
ratio of securities, fixed income, and cash suitable to the client’s investment goals and risk tolerance. A risk of
asset allocation is that the client may not participate in sharp increases in a particular security, industry or
market sector. Another risk is that the ratio of securities, fixed income, and cash will change over time due to
market movements and, if not corrected, will no longer be appropriate for the client’s goals.
Long-term purchases: We purchase securities with the idea of holding them in the client's account for a year or
longer. Typically we employ this strategy when:
we believe the securities to be currently undervalued, and/or
we want exposure to a particular asset class over time, regardless of the current projection for this
class.
A risk in a long-term purchase strategy is that by holding the security for this length of time, we may not take
advantage of short-term gains that could be profitable to a client. Moreover, if our predictions are incorrect, a
security may decline sharply in value before we make the decision to sell.
Short-term purchases: When utilizing this strategy, we purchase securities with the idea of selling them within
a relatively short time (typically a year or less). We do this in an attempt to take advantage of conditions that
we believe will soon result in a price swing in the securities we purchase.
A short-term purchase strategy poses risks should the anticipated price swing not materialize; we are then left
with the option of having a long-term investment in a security that was designed to be a short-term purchase,
or potentially taking a loss. In addition, this strategy involves more frequent trading than does a longer-term
strategy, and will result in increased brokerage and other transaction-related costs, as well as less favorable tax
treatment of short-term capital gains.
Risk of Loss
Securities investments are not guaranteed, and you may lose money on your investments. We ask that you
work with us to help us understand your tolerance for risk.
Item 9 - Disciplinary Information
We are required to disclose any legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client's or prospective client's
evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our management. Our firm and our management
personnel have no reportable disciplinary events to disclose.
[9]
Item 10 - Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Insurance Agency
Ballew Advisors is affiliated with BIA, Inc. (“BIA”), an insurance agency which offers fixed insurance products
such as term life, long term care and group annuity products. Most IARs of Ballew Advisors are licensed
insurance agents with BIA. As such, these individuals are able to receive separate, yet customary commission
compensation resulting from implementing product transactions on behalf of advisory clients. Clients,
however, are not under any obligation to engage these individuals when considering implementation of
advisory recommendations. The implementation of any or all recommendations is solely at the discretion of
the client.
General Information
Clients should be aware that the receipt of additional compensation by Ballew Advisors and its IARs or
employees may create a conflict of interest. Ballew Advisors endeavors at all times to put the interest of its
clients first as part of our fiduciary duty as a registered investment adviser; we take the following steps to
address this potential conflict:
we disclose to clients the existence of all material conflicts of interest, including the potential for our
firm and our employees to earn compensation from advisory clients in addition to our firm's advisory
fees;
we disclose to clients that they are not obligated to purchase recommended investment products from
our employees or affiliated companies;
we collect, maintain and document complete and relevant client background information, including
the client’s financial goals, objectives and risk tolerance;
our firm's IARs conduct regular reviews of each client account;
we require that our IARs seek prior approval of any outside business activity so that we may ensure
that any conflicts of interests in such activities are properly addressed; and
we educate our IARs regarding the responsibilities of a fiduciary, including the need for having a
reasonable and independent basis for the investment advice provided to clients.
Item 11 - Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Our firm has adopted a Code of Ethics which sets forth high ethical standards of business conduct that we
require of our employees, including compliance with applicable federal securities laws.
Ballew Advisors and our personnel owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards our clients, and have
an obligation to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code of Ethics but to the general principles
that guide the Code.
Our Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of our
employees will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii)
implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts.
[10]
Our firm and/or individuals associated with our firm may buy or sell for their personal accounts securities
identical to or different from those recommended to our clients. In addition, any related person(s) may have an
interest or position in a certain security(ies) which may also be recommended to a client.
We may aggregate our employee trades with client transactions where possible and when compliant with our
duty to seek best execution for our clients. In these instances, participating clients will receive an average share
price and transaction costs will be shared equally and on a pro rata basis. In the instances where there is a
partial fill of a particular batched order, we will allocate all purchases pro rata, with each account paying the
average price. Our employee accounts will be included in the pro rata allocation. Please refer to the "Brokerage
Practices" section (Item 12) of this Firm Brochure for additional information.
As these situations represent actual or potential conflicts of interest to our clients, we have established the
following policies and procedures for implementing our firm’s Code of Ethics, to ensure our firm complies with
its regulatory obligations and provides our clients and potential clients with full and fair disclosure of such
conflicts of interest:
No principal or employee of our firm may put his or her own interest above the interest of an advisory
client.
No principal or employee of our firm may buy or sell securities for their personal portfolio(s) where
their decision is a result of information received because of his or her employment unless the
information is also available to the investing public.
It is the expressed policy of our firm that no person employed by us may purchase or sell any security
prior to a transaction(s) being implemented for an advisory account. This prevents such employees
from benefiting from transactions placed on behalf of advisory accounts.
Our firm requires prior approval for any initial public offering (IPO) or private placement investments
by related people of the firm.
Our Code of Ethics includes policies and procedures for the review of quarterly securities transactions
reports as well as initial and annual securities holdings reports that must be submitted by the firm’s
access people.
We have established procedures for the maintenance of all required books and records.
All of our principals and employees must act in accordance with all applicable Federal and State
regulations governing registered investment advisory practices.
We require delivery and acknowledgement of the Code of Ethics by each supervised person of our firm.
We have established policies requiring the reporting of Code of Ethics violations to our senior
management.
Any individual who violates any of the above restrictions may be subject to termination.
Ballew Advisors’ Code of Ethics further includes the firm's policy prohibiting the use of material non-public
information. While we do not believe that we have any particular access to non-public information, all
employees are reminded that such information may not be used in a personal or professional capacity.
A copy of our Code of Ethics is available to our advisory clients and prospective clients. You may request a copy
by contacting Lisa Tate at lisat@ballewwealth.com, 601-368-3500 or 800-879-4467.
As disclosed in the preceding section of this Brochure (Item 10), related people of our firm may be separately
registered as securities representatives of a broker-dealer and/or may be licensed insurance agents. Please
refer to Item 10 for a detailed explanation of these relationships and important conflict of interest disclosures.
[11]
Item 12 - Brokerage Practices
Ballew Advisors has arrangements with several national firms which provide brokerage and/or custodial
services. They include Fidelity Brokerage Services, Principal, One America and Voya. The platform services
include, among others, brokerage, custodial, administrative support, record keeping and related services that
are intended to support intermediaries like Ballew Advisors in conducting business and in serving the best
interests of our clients but that may also benefit us.
These companies may charge a platform fee, brokerage commission or a transaction fee. These companies
enable Ballew Advisors to obtain many no-load mutual funds without transaction charges and other no-load
funds at nominal transaction charges. Commission rates are generally considered discounted from customary
retail commission rates. However, the commissions and transaction fees charged by any of these companies
may be higher or lower than those charged by other custodians and broker-dealers.
As part of the arrangement, these companies also make available to our firm, at no additional charge to us,
certain research and brokerage services, including research services obtained directly from independent
research companies, as selected by Ballew Advisors (within specified parameters). These research and
brokerage services presently include services such as market commentary, publications, access to educational
conferences, roundtables and webinars, and are used by our firm to manage accounts for which we have
investment discretion.
As a result of receiving such services for no additional cost, we may have an incentive to continue to use or
expand the use of one of these services. We examined this potential conflict of interest when we chose to
enter into the relationship with these companies and have determined that the relationship is in the best
interests of Ballew Advisors’ clients and satisfies our client obligations, including our duty to seek best
execution.
A client may pay a commission that is higher than another qualified broker-dealer might charge to effect the
same transaction where we determine in good faith that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value
of the brokerage and research services received. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the
lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into
consideration the full range of a broker-dealer’s services, including the value of research provided, execution
capability, commission rates, and responsiveness.
Accordingly, while Ballew Advisors will seek competitive rates, to the benefit of all clients, we may not
necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for specific client account transactions.
Ballew Advisors is not affiliated with Fidelity, Principal, One America or Voya.
It is Ballew Advisors’ policy and practice not to accept directed brokerage instructions from clients.
Ballew Advisors does not have any soft-dollar arrangements and does not receive any soft-dollar benefits.
Ballew Advisors will process trades in blocks where possible and when advantageous to clients. This blocking of
trades permits the trading of aggregate blocks of securities composed of assets from multiple client accounts,
so long as transaction costs are shared equally and on a pro-rated basis between all accounts included in any
such block.
Block trading may allow us to execute equity trades in a timelier, more equitable manner, at an average share
price. Ballew Advisors’ block trading policy and procedures are as follows:
[12]
1) No client or account will be favored over another.
2) Individual advice and treatment will be accorded to each advisory client.
3) Ballew Advisors will receive no additional compensation of any kind as a result of the proposed
aggregation.
4) Transactions for any client account may not be aggregated for execution if the practice is prohibited by
or inconsistent with the client's advisory agreement with Ballew Advisors, or our firm's order allocation
policy.
5) There must be a reasonable belief that the order aggregation will benefit, and will enable Ballew
Advisors to seek best execution for each client participating in the aggregated order. This requires a
good faith judgment at the time the order is placed for the execution. It does not mean that the
determination made in advance of the transaction must always prove to have been correct in the light
of a "20-20 hindsight" perspective. Best execution includes the duty to seek the best quality of
execution, as well as the best net price.
6) Prior to entry of an aggregated order, a written statement (“Allocation Statement”) must be completed
which identifies each client account participating in the order and the proposed allocation of the order,
upon completion, to those clients.
7) If the order 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 pro rata among the participating client
accounts in accordance with the Allocation Statement. However, adjustments to this pro rata
allocation may be made to participating client accounts in accordance with the initial Allocation
Statement. Furthermore, adjustments to this pro rata allocation may be made to avoid having odd
amounts of shares held in any client account, or to avoid excessive ticket charges in smaller accounts.
8) Generally, each client that participates in the aggregated order must do so at the average price for all
separate transactions made to fill the order, and must share in the commissions on a pro rata basis in
proportion to the client's participation. Under the client’s agreement with the custodian/broker,
transaction costs may be based on the number of shares traded for each client.
9) If the order will be allocated in a manner other than that stated in the initial Allocation Statement, a
written explanation of the change must be provided to and approved by the Chief Compliance Officer
or other principal no later than the morning following the execution of the aggregate trade.
10) Ballew Advisors’ client account records separately reflect, for each account in which the aggregated
transaction occurred, the securities which are held by, and bought and sold for, that account.
Item 13 - Review of Accounts
Investment Supervisory Services ("ISS")
While the underlying securities within ISS accounts are continually monitored, these accounts are reviewed at
least quarterly. Accounts are reviewed in the context of each client's stated investment objectives and
[13]
guidelines. More frequent reviews may be triggered by material changes in variables such as the client's
individual circumstances, or the market, political or economic environment.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Ballew Advisors will review the client's Investment Policy Statement whenever the client advises us of a change
in circumstances regarding the needs of the plan. Ballew Advisors will also review the investment options of
the plan on a quarterly basis.
Reviews are conducted by:
Brooks Mosley, President & Client Advisor
Al Hurt, Client Advisor
Karl Byrd, Client Advisor
T Dale, Client Advisor
Alan McCormick, Client Advisor
Scott Rives, Client Advisor
Sherry Mosley, Investment Consultant
Reports
In addition to the monthly and/or quarterly written statements and confirmations of transactions that clients
receive from the brokerage firm where their account is custodied, we provide quarterly written reports
summarizing account performance, balances and holdings.
Financial Planning Services/Social Security Services
While reviews may occur at different stages depending on the nature and terms of the specific engagement,
typically no formal reviews will be conducted for Financial Planning/Social Security clients unless otherwise
contracted for.
Financial Planning/Social Security clients will receive a completed plan. Additional reports will not typically be
provided unless otherwise contracted for.
Item 14 - Client Referrals and Other Compensation
It is Ballew Advisors’ policy not to accept or allow our related persons to accept any form of compensation,
including cash, sales awards or other prizes, from a non-client in conjunction with the advisory services we
provide to our clients.
Ballew Advisors does not compensate non-related persons for referring potential clients to our firm.
Item 15 - Custody
Ballew Advisors calculates and directly debits advisory fees from client accounts, which causes our firm to
exercise limited custody over clients’ funds and securities. Physical custody is maintained by an independent
[14]
qualified custodian. On at least a quarterly basis, the qualified custodian is required to send clients a
statement showing all transactions within the account during the reporting period. Because the qualified
custodian does not calculate the amount of the fee to be deducted, it is important for clients to carefully
review their custodial statements to verify the accuracy of the calculation, among other things.
Item 16 - Investment Discretion
Clients may hire us to provide discretionary asset management services, in which case we may place trades in a
client's account without contacting the client prior to each trade to obtain the client's permission. Our
discretionary authority includes the ability to do the following without contacting the client:
determine the security to buy or sell; and/or
determine the amount of the security to buy or sell
determine the broker dealer to be used for a purchase or sale of securities for a client’s account.
Clients give us discretionary authority when they sign a discretionary agreement with our firm, and may limit
this authority by giving us written instructions. Clients may also change/amend such limitations by once again
providing us with written instructions.
In addition, we can buy or sell securities that we also recommend to advisory clients.
Item 17 - Voting Client Securities
We vote proxies for all client accounts with Fidelity. However, you always have the right to vote proxies
yourself. You can exercise this right by instructing us in writing to not vote proxies in your account.
Ballew Advisors does not vote proxies on behalf of accounts held at other custodians. Therefore, although our
firm may provide investment advisory services relative to client investment assets, clients maintain exclusive
responsibility for: 1) directing the manner in which proxies solicited by issuers of securities beneficially owned
by the client shall be voted, and 2)making all elections relative to any mergers, acquisitions, tender offers,
bankruptcy proceedings or other type events pertaining to the client’s investment assets.
We will vote proxies in the best interests of our clients and in accordance with our established policies and
procedures. Our firm will retain all proxy voting books and records for the requisite period of time, including a
copy of each proxy statement received, a record of each vote cast, a copy of any document created by us that
was material to making a decision how to vote proxies, and a copy of each written client request for
information on how the adviser voted proxies. If our firm has a conflict of interest in voting a particular action,
we will notify the client of the conflict and retain an independent third-party to cast a vote.
Clients may obtain a copy of our complete proxy voting policies and procedures by contacting Lisa Tate at
lisat@ballewwealth.com, 601-368-3500 or 800-879-4467. Clients may request, in writing, information on how
proxies for his/her shares were voted. If any client requests a copy of our complete proxy policies and
procedures or how we voted proxies for his/her account(s), we will promptly provide such information to the
client.
We will neither advise nor act on behalf of the client in legal proceedings involving companies whose securities
[15]
are held in the client’s account(s), including, but not limited to, the filing of "Proofs of Claim" in class action
settlements. If desired, clients may direct us to transmit copies of class action notices to the client or a third
party. Upon such direction, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to forward such notices in a timely
manner.
Clients can instruct us to vote proxies according to particular criteria (for example, to always vote with
management, or to vote for or against a proposal to allow a so-called "poison pill" defense against a possible
takeover). These requests must be made in writing. You can also instruct us on how to cast your vote in a
particular proxy contest by contacting Lisa Tate at lisat@ballewwealth.com.
Item 18 - Financial Information
Under no circumstances do we require or solicit payment of fees in excess of $1,200 per client more than six
months in advance of services rendered. Therefore, we are not required to include a financial statement.
As an advisory firm that maintains discretionary authority for client accounts, we are also required to disclose
any financial condition that is reasonable likely to impair our ability to meet our contractual obligations. Ballew
Advisors has no additional financial circumstances to report. Ballew Advisors has not been the subject of a
bankruptcy petition at any time since its inception in 1991.
