Item 4 – Advisory Business
Castlebar Asset Management, LLC d/b/a Beyond Wealth is a limited liability company. Beyond Wealth
was founded in 2012 and is owned by Andrew Comstock, Beyond Wealth’s CCO, and Brandy
Branstetter.
Comprehensive Financial Planning with Investment Management:
Beyond Wealth offers the
following services only as a comprehensive bundle.
Investment Management
●
: Beyond Wealth develops an investment strategy to meet our client’s
goals and objectives. The investment strategies are created based on conversations with our
clients about their goals, objectives and current financial position. Beyond Wealth’s strategies
include equities, fixed income, derivatives, alternative investments and currency management.
These strategies can be implemented using individual securities, exchange traded funds (ETFs)
or mutual funds based on cost effectiveness. Clients are able to impose restrictions on their
portfolios if they choose. Each client portfolio is unique and they are able to remove any asset
class they chose from their portfolio.
Financial Planning:
●
Beyond Wealth offers comprehensive financial planning services. This
includes: financial goal planning, cash flow planning, investment analysis and risk review,
retirement analysis, debt management, insurance analysis, education planning and employee
benefits analysis.
Retirement Plan Services:
Beyond Wealth also provides retirement plan consulting services to assist
businesses with the administration of their defined benefit and defined contribution retirement plans.
In these engagements, we may provide discretionary management services, non-discretionary
management services, or non-management advisory/consulting services, depending on the needs of
the plan. In a discretionary management engagement, Beyond Wealth would be responsible for making
decisions and acting upon those decisions on behalf of the plan. In a non-discretionary management
engagement, Beyond Wealth would be responsible for making changes for a plan upon a client’s
approval. In an advisory/consulting engagement, Beyond Wealth would serve in an advisory capacity
where the client retains control for implementation of all recommendations and other actions.
Estate Planning Services:
We offer Estate Planning services to our clients to assist with general
information as it applies to reviews of existing plans, gathering information needed to provide outside
firms in the creation of documents, and updating existing plans for clients. The fees associated with
estate planning services are separate, in addition to your ongoing financial planning or advisory fees,
and are disclosed in Item 5.
Depending on the client's needs and desires for estate planning document review, preparation, or
updates, we will engage with EncorEstate Plans, a third-party scrivener service or estate planning
attorneys.
Beyond Wealth does not participate in a wrap fee program.
Beyond Wealth has $133,163,412 of discretionary assets under management on May 8, 2026.

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Advisory Fees:
Our basic fee structure is to charge an annual management fee on the custodian's
Comprehensive Financial Planning with Investment Management Fees:
quarter end balance and paid quarterly in arrears.
Fees for comprehensive
financial planning with Investment Management services include the engagement fee of $3,500 plus an
ongoing annual fee (see the table below) which is paid in quarterly installments. The engagement fee is
invoiced and due at the start of the advisory relationship. The fee for the Comprehensive Financial
Planning with Investment Management service is based on the market value of assets under
advisement. The minimum ongoing fee for Comprehensive Financial Planning with Investment
Management Services is $4,000 per year charged quarterly ($1,000/quarter). Clients who engaged
Beyond Wealth before August 15, 2022 will continue with their prior fee schedules until a new
agreement is signed. The fee may be negotiable in certain cases.
Ongoing Annual Fees:
First $250,000: 1.25%
Next $750,000: 1.00%
Next $2 million: 0.75%
Next $2 million: 0.65%
Over $5 million: 0.50%
As an example, the annualized fee for managing $6,000,000 of a portfolio would be 1.25% applied to
the first $250,000, plus 1.0% applied to the next $750,000, plus .75% applied to the next $2,000,000,
plus .65% applied to the next $2,000,000 plus .5% applied to the next $1,000,000.
The specific manner in which fees are charged by Beyond Wealth is established in a client’s written
agreement with Beyond Wealth. Clients are billed in arrears each calendar quarter. Clients may also
elect to be billed directly for fees or to authorize Beyond Wealth to directly debit fees from client
accounts. Management fees shall be prorated for each capital contribution and withdrawal made during
the applicable calendar quarter. Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be
charged a prorated fee. Upon termination of any account, any earned unpaid fees will be due and
payable. Investment Management Fees are negotiable
Retirement Plan Services
: Fees charged for retirement plan services may be charged in advance or
in arrears depending on the service provided. Fees may be fixed or asset based (not to exceed 1.25%
annually), and are negotiable depending on the complexity of the service. Fee levels (whether fixed or
asset based) are primarily based on actual services to be provided. Fees may be deducted directly
from client accounts on a quarterly basis, or clients may elect to alternatively pay fees by check or
wire transfer. Services may be terminated at any time by either party with 30 days written notice to
the other party, and fees will be prorated accordingly. All retirement plan fees paid to Beyond Wealth
are separate and unrelated to any fees or expenses assessed by any broker, custodian, or other
outside party. Retirement Plan Services fees are negotiable.
Beyond Wealth
Page 5
Estate Planning Services:
The fees for estate planning will be determined based on the complexity of
the planning services needed. Estate planning services range from $250 to $4,000 and are separate
from your ongoing fees and minimum fees. The fees may be negotiable in certain cases, will be agreed
to at the start of the engagement, and 50% is due at the start of the estate planning engagement and the
remaining is due at the end of the engagement. Clients are not required to utilize any third-party
products or services that we may recommend, and they can receive similar services from other
professionals at a similar or lower cost.
Beyond Wealth’s fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs
and expenses that shall be incurred by the client. Clients may incur certain charges imposed by
custodians, brokers, third party investment, and other third parties such as fees charged by managers,
custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic
fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Mutual funds
and exchange traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s
prospectus.
Such charges, fees, and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to Beyond Wealth’s fee, and
Beyond Wealth shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Beyond Wealth must disclose to a client in writing before entering into or renewing an advisory
agreement about any material conflict of interest which could impair Beyond Wealth’s ability to offer
unbiased and objective advice. Currently, Beyond Wealth does not have any of these disclosures.

e.g.

,
broker-dealers for client
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
commissions).
Beyond Wealth does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on
or capital appreciation of the assets of a client).
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Beyond Wealth provides financial planning and investment management services to individuals, high
net worth individuals, charitable institutions, foundations, and endowments. Beyond Wealth does not
have a minimum account size but we do have a minimum annual fee. We ask clients to pay an
engagement fee. This is negotiable in certain cases.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
invests in both the domestic US and international markets. Investing in securities
Beyond Wealth
involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
Method of Analysis
Beyond Wealth has an equity portfolio management philosophy that the lowest risk stocks offer the
best return when investing with a multiple year time horizon. Beyond Wealth evaluates stocks using
fundamental analysis. This includes looking at past financial statements and making estimates about
future revenue and earnings. We evaluate companies by analyzing ratios, margins, return metrics, and
Beyond Wealth
Page 6
relative analysis. Ratio analysis includes using measures like Price to Earnings, Price to Book, Price to
Cash Flow, and other industry specific measures. We also use external sources of information from
financial data providers to evaluate potential companies.
Beyond Wealth performs fundamental analysis on corporations and governments that issue bonds
which we invest in for clients. This includes reviewing the issuers’ past financial information and
assessing their ability to make coupon payments and repay principal.
Investment Strategy
Beyond Wealth creates a strategic asset allocation based on the client’s goals and objectives, risk
tolerance, and time horizon outlined in their financial plan. The asset allocation includes exposure to
asset classes like Large Cap Stocks, Small Cap Stocks, International Stocks, Commodities, Bonds, etc.
Clients’ asset allocation is reviewed at least annually.
Equity Risks
Stock market risk
is the chance that stock prices overall will decline. Stock markets tend to move in
cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. In addition, investments in foreign
stock markets can be riskier than U.S. stock investments. The prices of foreign stocks and the prices of
U.S. stocks have, at times, moved in opposite directions.
Currency risk
, is the chance that the value of a foreign investment, measured in U.S. dollars, will
decrease because of unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates.
Country/regional risk
is the chance that world events—such as political upheaval, financial troubles,
or natural disasters—will adversely affect the value of securities issued by companies in foreign
countries or regions. Beyond Wealth may invest a large portion of its assets in securities of companies
located in any one country or region, including emerging markets, Beyond Wealth’s performance may
be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in that area. Country/ regional
risk is especially high in emerging markets.
Investment style risk
is the chance that returns from the types of stocks in which Beyond Wealth
invests will trail returns from the global stock market. As a group, non-U.S. value stocks tend to go
through cycles of doing better—or worse—than the global market in general. These periods have, in
the past, lasted for as long as several years. Beyond Wealth may invest in small- and mid-capitalization
stocks. Historically, these stocks have been more volatile in price than the large-cap stocks that
dominate the global market, and they often perform quite differently.
Manager risk
is the chance that poor security selection or focus on securities in a particular sector,
category, or group of companies will cause a client’s portfolio to underperform relevant benchmarks
or other funds with a similar investment objective.
Fixed Income Risks
Beyond Wealth
Page 7
Income risk
is the chance that a client’s portfolio income will decline because of falling interest rates.
Income risk is generally moderate for intermediate-term bonds, so investors should expect their annual
income to fluctuate accordingly.
Interest rate risk
is the chance that bond prices overall will decline because of rising interest rates.
Interest rate risk should be moderate for clients who invest in short or intermediate bonds because
their prices are less sensitive to interest rate changes than are the prices of long-term bonds.
Credit risk
is the chance that a bond issuer will fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or
that negative perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of that bond
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
to decline.
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of Beyond Wealth or the integrity of
Beyond Wealth’s management. Beyond Wealth has no information applicable to this Item.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Beyond Wealth is not registered as a securities broker-dealer, futures commission merchant,
commodity pool operator, or commodity trading adviser.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics
Beyond Wealth has a Code of Ethics (“The Code”) for all supervised persons of the firm describing its
high standard of business conduct and fiduciary duty to its clients. The Code includes provisions
relating to the confidentiality of client information, a prohibition on insider trading, a prohibition of
rumor mongering, restrictions on the acceptance of significant gifts, and the reporting of certain gifts
and business entertainment items and personal securities trading procedures, among other things. All
supervised persons at Beyond Wealth must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or
as amended.
Beyond Wealth anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’ investment
objectives, it will cause accounts over which Beyond Wealth has management authority to effect and
will recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective clients, the purchase or sale of securities
in which Beyond Wealth, its affiliates and/or clients, directly or indirectly, have a position of interest.
Beyond Wealth’s employees and persons associated with Beyond Wealth are required to follow Beyond
Wealth’s Code of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers, directors, and
employees of Beyond Wealth and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in securities which are
recommended to and/or purchased for Beyond Wealth’s clients. The Code of Ethics is designed to
assure that the personal securities transactions, activities, and interests of the employees of Beyond
Wealth 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. Under the Code certain classes of securities have been designated as exempt transactions,
based upon a determination that these would materially not interfere with the best interest of Beyond
Wealth’s clients. In addition, the Code requires pre-clearance of some transactions, and restricts trading
in close proximity to client trading activity. Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some
Beyond Wealth
Page 8
circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same securities as clients, there is a possibility
that employees might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by an employee.
Employee trading is continually monitored under the Code of Ethics, and to reasonably prevent
conflicts of interest between Beyond Wealth and its clients.
It is Beyond Wealth’s policy that the firm will not affect any principal or agency cross securities
transactions for client accounts. Beyond Wealth will also not cross trades between client accounts.
Principal transactions are generally defined as transactions where an adviser, acting as principal for its
own account or the account of an affiliated broker-dealer, buys from or sells any security to any
advisory client. A principal transaction may also be deemed to have occurred if a security is crossed
between an affiliated hedge fund and another client account. An agency cross transaction is defined as
a transaction where a person acts as an investment adviser in relation to a transaction in which the
investment adviser, or any person controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser,
acts as a broker for both the advisory client and for another person on the other side of the transaction.
Agency cross transactions may arise where an adviser is dually registered as a broker-dealer or has an
affiliated broker-dealer.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
Beyond Wealth has authority provided in the Investment Advisory Agreement to determine, without
obtaining specific client consent, the securities to be bought or sold and the amount of securities to be
bought or sold in accordance with the client’s investment strategy. Generally, all transactions are
executed in accordance with the client’s stated goals and objectives in the investment strategy. Beyond
Wealth does not take custody of money or securities in advisory accounts. Beyond Wealth does not
have the right to withdraw cash or securities from a client’s account, except by written authority in the
investment advisory agreement. The only withdrawal that Beyond Wealth can make is the deduction
of advisory fees.
Beyond Wealth does have the authority to use a specific broker/dealer. Unless the client directs
otherwise, Beyond Wealth shall generally recommend that investment management accounts be
maintained by Schwab Institutional, a division of Charles Schwab & Co, Inc. (Schwab). Factors that
Beyond Wealth considers in recommending custodians to clients include their respective financial
position, reputation, execution, pricing, and services.
Schwab generally does not charge its advisor clients separately for custody services but is compensated
by account holders through commissions and other transaction-related or asset-based fees for
securities trades that are executed through Schwab or that settle into Schwab accounts (i.e.,
transactions fees are charged by certain no-load mutual funds, commissions are charged for individual
equity and debt securities transactions).
Beyond Wealth does not receive any portion of the brokerage commissions, and/or transaction fees
charged to clients. Additionally, Beyond Wealth has no control over the commission rate charged by
the custodian to transact trades on behalf of the client.
Beyond Wealth has an arrangement with Schwab through which they provide Beyond Wealth with
“institutional platform services.” The institutional platform services include, among others, brokerage,
Beyond Wealth
Page 9
custody, and other related services. Schwab’s institutional platform services that assist Beyond Wealth
in managing and administering clients’ accounts include software and other technology that (i) provide
access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements); (ii) facilitate trade
execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts; (iii) provide research,
pricing and other market data; (iv) facilitate payment of fees from its clients’ accounts; and (v) assist
with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting.
Schwab also offers services intended to help Beyond Wealth manage and further develop its advisory
practice. Such services include, but are not limited to, performance reporting, contact management
systems, third party research, publications, access to educational conferences, roundtables, and
webinars, practice management resources, access to consultants and other third party service
providers who provide a wide array of business related services and technology with whom Beyond
Wealth may contact directly.
Schwab is providing Beyond Wealth with certain brokerage and research products and services that
qualify as “brokerage or research services” under Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(“Exchange Act”).
Aggregation of Transactions: Beyond Wealth may, from time to time, aggregate client orders into
blocks in order to facilitate more efficient account management and execution. When aggregating
orders, an average price is given to all participants in the block, or other measures are taken, in order
to treat all accounts fairly.
Beyond Wealth is independently operated and owned and is not affiliated with Schwab or any other
custodian. We may switch custodians if Schwab is not the best custodian for our clients.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
At a minimum, all accounts are thoroughly reviewed quarterly. On a weekly basis their cash positions
and guidelines are reviewed to make sure that they do not have a negative cash position and they are
in compliance with their guidelines. Reviews will happen more frequently if there is a material event
that would affect the portfolio or a specific holding in the portfolio. Andrew Comstock, Principal,
reviews portfolios and sets strategies.
Our clients receive their portfolio reports on a quarterly basis. These reports are available on request
if a client wants to receive them more frequently (such as monthly). Client reports consist of a quarterly
performance page, a position report and an asset allocation report. Investment commentary and
outlook are often included in quarterly reports.
We meet with our clients at least once a year to review their accounts or financial plans. These meetings
can be in person, over the phone, or over video conference like Zoom.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Beyond Wealth provides investment management services on a fee-based basis. We do not accept
compensation, including referral fees, from any third parties.
Beyond Wealth
Page 10
Item 15 – Custody
Beyond Wealth does not accept custody of clients’ assets. Beyond Wealth recommends broker dealers
or other custodians based on the quality of service offered and rates charged. Clients should receive at
least quarterly statements from the broker dealer, bank, or other qualified custodian that holds and
maintains the client’s investment assets. Beyond Wealth urges clients to carefully review such
statements and compare such official custodial records to the account statements that we may provide.
Our statements may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates,
or valuation methodologies of certain securities.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Beyond Wealth receives discretionary authority and maintains limited power of attorney for
investments at the beginning of an advisory relationship. The limited power of attorney authorizes
Beyond Wealth to select the identity and amount of securities to be bought or sold. In all cases, however,
such discretion is to be exercised in a manner consistent with the stated investment objectives for the
particular client account.
When selecting securities and determining amounts, Beyond Wealth observes the investment
strategies, limitations, and restrictions of the clients for which it advises. For registered investment
companies, Beyond Wealth’s authority to trade securities may also be limited by certain federal
securities and tax laws that require diversification of investments and favor the holding of investments
once made.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
As a matter of firm policy and practice, Beyond Wealth does not have any authority to and does not vote
proxies on behalf of advisory clients. Clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies
for any and all securities maintained in client portfolios. Beyond Wealth may provide advice to clients
Item 18 – Financial Information
regarding the clients’ voting of proxies.
Registered investment advisers are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial
information or disclosures about Beyond Wealth’s financial condition. Beyond Wealth has no financial
commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients and has
not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. Beyond Wealth does not solicit payments of $500.00
in fees per client, six months or more in advance.
Item 19 – Requirements for State-Registered Advisers
Beyond Wealth has professional liability insurance coverage for its investment advisory services.

The CFP® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or regulation requires
financial planners to hold CFP® certification. It is recognized in the United States and a number of
other countries for its (1) high standard of professional education; (2) stringent code of conduct and
standards of practice; and (3) ethical requirements that govern professional engagements with
Clients. Currently, more than 71,000 individuals have obtained CFP® certification in the United
States.
To attain the right to use the CFP® marks, an individual must satisfactorily fulfill the following
requirements:
●
Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study addressing the financial
planning subject areas that CFP Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the competent and
professional delivery of financial planning services, and attain a Bachelor’s Degree from a regionally

Board’s financial planning subject areas include insurance planning and risk management, employee
benefits planning, investment planning, income tax planning, retirement planning, and estate

●
Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination
includes case studies and Client scenarios designed to test one's ability to correctly diagnose financial
planning issues and apply one's knowledge of financial planning to real-world circumstances;

●
documents outlining the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics

Item 4 – Advisory Business
Castlebar Asset Management, LLC d/b/a Beyond Wealth is a limited liability company. Beyond Wealth
was founded in 2012 and is owned by Andrew Comstock, Beyond Wealth’s CCO, and Brandy
Branstetter.
Comprehensive Financial Planning with Investment Management:
Beyond Wealth offers the
following services only as a comprehensive bundle.
Investment Management
●
: Beyond Wealth develops an investment strategy to meet our client’s
goals and objectives. The investment strategies are created based on conversations with our
clients about their goals, objectives and current financial position. Beyond Wealth’s strategies
include equities, fixed income, derivatives, alternative investments and currency management.
These strategies can be implemented using individual securities, exchange traded funds (ETFs)
or mutual funds based on cost effectiveness. Clients are able to impose restrictions on their
portfolios if they choose. Each client portfolio is unique and they are able to remove any asset
class they chose from their portfolio.
Financial Planning:
●
Beyond Wealth offers comprehensive financial planning services. This
includes: financial goal planning, cash flow planning, investment analysis and risk review,
retirement analysis, debt management, insurance analysis, education planning and employee
benefits analysis.
Retirement Plan Services:
Beyond Wealth also provides retirement plan consulting services to assist
businesses with the administration of their defined benefit and defined contribution retirement plans.
In these engagements, we may provide discretionary management services, non-discretionary
management services, or non-management advisory/consulting services, depending on the needs of
the plan. In a discretionary management engagement, Beyond Wealth would be responsible for making
decisions and acting upon those decisions on behalf of the plan. In a non-discretionary management
engagement, Beyond Wealth would be responsible for making changes for a plan upon a client’s
approval. In an advisory/consulting engagement, Beyond Wealth would serve in an advisory capacity
where the client retains control for implementation of all recommendations and other actions.
Estate Planning Services:
We offer Estate Planning services to our clients to assist with general
information as it applies to reviews of existing plans, gathering information needed to provide outside
firms in the creation of documents, and updating existing plans for clients. The fees associated with
estate planning services are separate, in addition to your ongoing financial planning or advisory fees,
and are disclosed in Item 5.
Depending on the client's needs and desires for estate planning document review, preparation, or
updates, we will engage with EncorEstate Plans, a third-party scrivener service or estate planning
attorneys.
Beyond Wealth does not participate in a wrap fee program.
Beyond Wealth has $133,163,412 of discretionary assets under management on May 8, 2026.

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Advisory Fees:
Our basic fee structure is to charge an annual management fee on the custodian's
Comprehensive Financial Planning with Investment Management Fees:
quarter end balance and paid quarterly in arrears.
Fees for comprehensive
financial planning with Investment Management services include the engagement fee of $3,500 plus an
ongoing annual fee (see the table below) which is paid in quarterly installments. The engagement fee is
invoiced and due at the start of the advisory relationship. The fee for the Comprehensive Financial
Planning with Investment Management service is based on the market value of assets under
advisement. The minimum ongoing fee for Comprehensive Financial Planning with Investment
Management Services is $4,000 per year charged quarterly ($1,000/quarter). Clients who engaged
Beyond Wealth before August 15, 2022 will continue with their prior fee schedules until a new
agreement is signed. The fee may be negotiable in certain cases.
Ongoing Annual Fees:
First $250,000: 1.25%
Next $750,000: 1.00%
Next $2 million: 0.75%
Next $2 million: 0.65%
Over $5 million: 0.50%
As an example, the annualized fee for managing $6,000,000 of a portfolio would be 1.25% applied to
the first $250,000, plus 1.0% applied to the next $750,000, plus .75% applied to the next $2,000,000,
plus .65% applied to the next $2,000,000 plus .5% applied to the next $1,000,000.
The specific manner in which fees are charged by Beyond Wealth is established in a client’s written
agreement with Beyond Wealth. Clients are billed in arrears each calendar quarter. Clients may also
elect to be billed directly for fees or to authorize Beyond Wealth to directly debit fees from client
accounts. Management fees shall be prorated for each capital contribution and withdrawal made during
the applicable calendar quarter. Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be
charged a prorated fee. Upon termination of any account, any earned unpaid fees will be due and
payable. Investment Management Fees are negotiable
Retirement Plan Services
: Fees charged for retirement plan services may be charged in advance or
in arrears depending on the service provided. Fees may be fixed or asset based (not to exceed 1.25%
annually), and are negotiable depending on the complexity of the service. Fee levels (whether fixed or
asset based) are primarily based on actual services to be provided. Fees may be deducted directly
from client accounts on a quarterly basis, or clients may elect to alternatively pay fees by check or
wire transfer. Services may be terminated at any time by either party with 30 days written notice to
the other party, and fees will be prorated accordingly. All retirement plan fees paid to Beyond Wealth
are separate and unrelated to any fees or expenses assessed by any broker, custodian, or other
outside party. Retirement Plan Services fees are negotiable.

Estate Planning Services:
The fees for estate planning will be determined based on the complexity of
the planning services needed. Estate planning services range from $250 to $4,000 and are separate
from your ongoing fees and minimum fees. The fees may be negotiable in certain cases, will be agreed
to at the start of the engagement, and 50% is due at the start of the estate planning engagement and the
remaining is due at the end of the engagement. Clients are not required to utilize any third-party
products or services that we may recommend, and they can receive similar services from other
professionals at a similar or lower cost.
Beyond Wealth’s fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs
and expenses that shall be incurred by the client. Clients may incur certain charges imposed by
custodians, brokers, third party investment, and other third parties such as fees charged by managers,
custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic
fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Mutual funds
and exchange traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s
prospectus.
Such charges, fees, and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to Beyond Wealth’s fee, and
Beyond Wealth shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Beyond Wealth must disclose to a client in writing before entering into or renewing an advisory
agreement about any material conflict of interest which could impair Beyond Wealth’s ability to offer
unbiased and objective advice. Currently, Beyond Wealth does not have any of these disclosures.

e.g.
Item 12 further describes the factors that Beyond Wealth considers in selecting or recommending
,
broker-dealers for client
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
commissions).
Beyond Wealth does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on
or capital appreciation of the assets of a client).
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Beyond Wealth provides financial planning and investment management services to individuals, high
net worth individuals, charitable institutions, foundations, and endowments. Beyond Wealth does not
have a minimum account size but we do have a minimum annual fee. We ask clients to pay an
engagement fee. This is negotiable in certain cases.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
invests in both the domestic US and international markets. Investing in securities
Beyond Wealth
involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
Method of Analysis
Beyond Wealth has an equity portfolio management philosophy that the lowest risk stocks offer the
best return when investing with a multiple year time horizon. Beyond Wealth evaluates stocks using
fundamental analysis. This includes looking at past financial statements and making estimates about
future revenue and earnings. We evaluate companies by analyzing ratios, margins, return metrics, and
Beyond Wealth
Page 6
relative analysis. Ratio analysis includes using measures like Price to Earnings, Price to Book, Price to
Cash Flow, and other industry specific measures. We also use external sources of information from
financial data providers to evaluate potential companies.
Beyond Wealth performs fundamental analysis on corporations and governments that issue bonds
which we invest in for clients. This includes reviewing the issuers’ past financial information and
assessing their ability to make coupon payments and repay principal.
Investment Strategy
Beyond Wealth creates a strategic asset allocation based on the client’s goals and objectives, risk
tolerance, and time horizon outlined in their financial plan. The asset allocation includes exposure to
asset classes like Large Cap Stocks, Small Cap Stocks, International Stocks, Commodities, Bonds, etc.
Clients’ asset allocation is reviewed at least annually.
Equity Risks
Stock market risk
is the chance that stock prices overall will decline. Stock markets tend to move in
cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. In addition, investments in foreign
stock markets can be riskier than U.S. stock investments. The prices of foreign stocks and the prices of
U.S. stocks have, at times, moved in opposite directions.
Currency risk
, is the chance that the value of a foreign investment, measured in U.S. dollars, will
decrease because of unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates.
Country/regional risk
is the chance that world events—such as political upheaval, financial troubles,
or natural disasters—will adversely affect the value of securities issued by companies in foreign
countries or regions. Beyond Wealth may invest a large portion of its assets in securities of companies
located in any one country or region, including emerging markets, Beyond Wealth’s performance may
be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in that area. Country/ regional
risk is especially high in emerging markets.
Investment style risk
is the chance that returns from the types of stocks in which Beyond Wealth
invests will trail returns from the global stock market. As a group, non-U.S. value stocks tend to go
through cycles of doing better—or worse—than the global market in general. These periods have, in
the past, lasted for as long as several years. Beyond Wealth may invest in small- and mid-capitalization
stocks. Historically, these stocks have been more volatile in price than the large-cap stocks that
dominate the global market, and they often perform quite differently.
Manager risk
is the chance that poor security selection or focus on securities in a particular sector,
category, or group of companies will cause a client’s portfolio to underperform relevant benchmarks
or other funds with a similar investment objective.
Fixed Income Risks
Beyond Wealth
Page 7
Income risk
is the chance that a client’s portfolio income will decline because of falling interest rates.
Income risk is generally moderate for intermediate-term bonds, so investors should expect their annual
income to fluctuate accordingly.
Interest rate risk
is the chance that bond prices overall will decline because of rising interest rates.
Interest rate risk should be moderate for clients who invest in short or intermediate bonds because
their prices are less sensitive to interest rate changes than are the prices of long-term bonds.
Credit risk
is the chance that a bond issuer will fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or
that negative perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of that bond
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
to decline.
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of Beyond Wealth or the integrity of
Beyond Wealth’s management. Beyond Wealth has no information applicable to this Item.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Beyond Wealth is not registered as a securities broker-dealer, futures commission merchant,
commodity pool operator, or commodity trading adviser.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics
Beyond Wealth has a Code of Ethics (“The Code”) for all supervised persons of the firm describing its
high standard of business conduct and fiduciary duty to its clients. The Code includes provisions
relating to the confidentiality of client information, a prohibition on insider trading, a prohibition of
rumor mongering, restrictions on the acceptance of significant gifts, and the reporting of certain gifts
and business entertainment items and personal securities trading procedures, among other things. All
supervised persons at Beyond Wealth must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or
as amended.
Beyond Wealth anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’ investment
objectives, it will cause accounts over which Beyond Wealth has management authority to effect and
will recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective clients, the purchase or sale of securities
in which Beyond Wealth, its affiliates and/or clients, directly or indirectly, have a position of interest.
Beyond Wealth’s employees and persons associated with Beyond Wealth are required to follow Beyond
Wealth’s Code of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers, directors, and
employees of Beyond Wealth and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in securities which are
recommended to and/or purchased for Beyond Wealth’s clients. The Code of Ethics is designed to
assure that the personal securities transactions, activities, and interests of the employees of Beyond
Wealth 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. Under the Code certain classes of securities have been designated as exempt transactions,
based upon a determination that these would materially not interfere with the best interest of Beyond
Wealth’s clients. In addition, the Code requires pre-clearance of some transactions, and restricts trading
in close proximity to client trading activity. Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some
Beyond Wealth
Page 8
circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same securities as clients, there is a possibility
that employees might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by an employee.
Employee trading is continually monitored under the Code of Ethics, and to reasonably prevent
conflicts of interest between Beyond Wealth and its clients.
It is Beyond Wealth’s policy that the firm will not affect any principal or agency cross securities
transactions for client accounts. Beyond Wealth will also not cross trades between client accounts.
Principal transactions are generally defined as transactions where an adviser, acting as principal for its
own account or the account of an affiliated broker-dealer, buys from or sells any security to any
advisory client. A principal transaction may also be deemed to have occurred if a security is crossed
between an affiliated hedge fund and another client account. An agency cross transaction is defined as
a transaction where a person acts as an investment adviser in relation to a transaction in which the
investment adviser, or any person controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser,
acts as a broker for both the advisory client and for another person on the other side of the transaction.
Agency cross transactions may arise where an adviser is dually registered as a broker-dealer or has an
affiliated broker-dealer.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
Beyond Wealth has authority provided in the Investment Advisory Agreement to determine, without
obtaining specific client consent, the securities to be bought or sold and the amount of securities to be
bought or sold in accordance with the client’s investment strategy. Generally, all transactions are
executed in accordance with the client’s stated goals and objectives in the investment strategy. Beyond
Wealth does not take custody of money or securities in advisory accounts. Beyond Wealth does not
have the right to withdraw cash or securities from a client’s account, except by written authority in the
investment advisory agreement. The only withdrawal that Beyond Wealth can make is the deduction
of advisory fees.
Beyond Wealth does have the authority to use a specific broker/dealer. Unless the client directs
otherwise, Beyond Wealth shall generally recommend that investment management accounts be
maintained by Schwab Institutional, a division of Charles Schwab & Co, Inc. (Schwab). Factors that
Beyond Wealth considers in recommending custodians to clients include their respective financial
position, reputation, execution, pricing, and services.
Schwab generally does not charge its advisor clients separately for custody services but is compensated
by account holders through commissions and other transaction-related or asset-based fees for
securities trades that are executed through Schwab or that settle into Schwab accounts (i.e.,
transactions fees are charged by certain no-load mutual funds, commissions are charged for individual
equity and debt securities transactions).
Beyond Wealth does not receive any portion of the brokerage commissions, and/or transaction fees
charged to clients. Additionally, Beyond Wealth has no control over the commission rate charged by
the custodian to transact trades on behalf of the client.
Beyond Wealth has an arrangement with Schwab through which they provide Beyond Wealth with
“institutional platform services.” The institutional platform services include, among others, brokerage,
Beyond Wealth
Page 9
custody, and other related services. Schwab’s institutional platform services that assist Beyond Wealth
in managing and administering clients’ accounts include software and other technology that (i) provide
access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements); (ii) facilitate trade
execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts; (iii) provide research,
pricing and other market data; (iv) facilitate payment of fees from its clients’ accounts; and (v) assist
with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting.
Schwab also offers services intended to help Beyond Wealth manage and further develop its advisory
practice. Such services include, but are not limited to, performance reporting, contact management
systems, third party research, publications, access to educational conferences, roundtables, and
webinars, practice management resources, access to consultants and other third party service
providers who provide a wide array of business related services and technology with whom Beyond
Wealth may contact directly.
Schwab is providing Beyond Wealth with certain brokerage and research products and services that
qualify as “brokerage or research services” under Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(“Exchange Act”).
Aggregation of Transactions: Beyond Wealth may, from time to time, aggregate client orders into
blocks in order to facilitate more efficient account management and execution. When aggregating
orders, an average price is given to all participants in the block, or other measures are taken, in order
to treat all accounts fairly.
Beyond Wealth is independently operated and owned and is not affiliated with Schwab or any other
custodian. We may switch custodians if Schwab is not the best custodian for our clients.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
At a minimum, all accounts are thoroughly reviewed quarterly. On a weekly basis their cash positions
and guidelines are reviewed to make sure that they do not have a negative cash position and they are
in compliance with their guidelines. Reviews will happen more frequently if there is a material event
that would affect the portfolio or a specific holding in the portfolio. Andrew Comstock, Principal,
reviews portfolios and sets strategies.
Our clients receive their portfolio reports on a quarterly basis. These reports are available on request
if a client wants to receive them more frequently (such as monthly). Client reports consist of a quarterly
performance page, a position report and an asset allocation report. Investment commentary and
outlook are often included in quarterly reports.
We meet with our clients at least once a year to review their accounts or financial plans. These meetings
can be in person, over the phone, or over video conference like Zoom.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Beyond Wealth provides investment management services on a fee-based basis. We do not accept
compensation, including referral fees, from any third parties.
Beyond Wealth
Page 10
Item 15 – Custody
Beyond Wealth does not accept custody of clients’ assets. Beyond Wealth recommends broker dealers
or other custodians based on the quality of service offered and rates charged. Clients should receive at
least quarterly statements from the broker dealer, bank, or other qualified custodian that holds and
maintains the client’s investment assets. Beyond Wealth urges clients to carefully review such
statements and compare such official custodial records to the account statements that we may provide.
Our statements may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates,
or valuation methodologies of certain securities.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Beyond Wealth receives discretionary authority and maintains limited power of attorney for
investments at the beginning of an advisory relationship. The limited power of attorney authorizes
Beyond Wealth to select the identity and amount of securities to be bought or sold. In all cases, however,
such discretion is to be exercised in a manner consistent with the stated investment objectives for the
particular client account.
When selecting securities and determining amounts, Beyond Wealth observes the investment
strategies, limitations, and restrictions of the clients for which it advises. For registered investment
companies, Beyond Wealth’s authority to trade securities may also be limited by certain federal
securities and tax laws that require diversification of investments and favor the holding of investments
once made.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
As a matter of firm policy and practice, Beyond Wealth does not have any authority to and does not vote
proxies on behalf of advisory clients. Clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies
for any and all securities maintained in client portfolios. Beyond Wealth may provide advice to clients
Item 18 – Financial Information
regarding the clients’ voting of proxies.
Registered investment advisers are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial
information or disclosures about Beyond Wealth’s financial condition. Beyond Wealth has no financial
commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients and has
not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. Beyond Wealth does not solicit payments of $500.00
in fees per client, six months or more in advance.
Item 19 – Requirements for State-Registered Advisers
Beyond Wealth has professional liability insurance coverage for its investment advisory services.

planning subject areas that CFP Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the competent and
