Item 4: Services, Fees & Compensation
We offer wrap fee programs as described in this Wrap Fee Program Brochure. Our wrap fee accounts
are managed on an individualized basis according to the client’s investment objectives, financial
goals, risk tolerance, etc.
A wrap fee program allows our clients to pay a specified fee for investment advisory services and the
execution of transactions. The advisory services may include portfolio management, and the fee is
not based directly upon transactions in your account. Your fee is bundled with our costs for executing
transactions in your account(s). This results in a higher advisory fee to you. We do not charge our
clients higher advisory fees based on their trading activity, but you should be aware that we may
have an incentive to limit our trading activities in your account(s) because we are charged for
executed trades. By participating in a wrap fee program, you may end up paying more or less than
you would through a non-wrap fee program where a lower advisory fee is charged, but trade
execution costs are passed directly through to you by the executing broker.
LPL Financial offers a trading platform with select exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) that do not charge
transaction fees. The no-transaction-fee ETF trading platform is available to clients participating in
LPL Financial’s Strategic Wealth Management (“SWM”) and Strategic Asset Management (“SAM”)
programs. Since our firm pays the transaction fees charged by LPL Financial to clients participating
in our wrap fee program, we are incentivized to recommend no-transaction-fee ETFs over other
types of securities and ETFs in order to reduce our costs. This presents a conflict of interest because
the limited number of ETFs available on the no-transaction fee platform may have higher overall
expenses than other types of securities and ETFs not included in the platform. In addition, other
major custodians have eliminated transaction fees for all ETFs and U.S. equities, so clients may pay
more for investing in the same securities at LPL Financial.
Our Wrap Advisory Services
Wrap Comprehensive Portfolio Management:
Our comprehensive portfolio management service encompasses asset management as well as
providing financial planning/financial consulting to clients. It is designed to assist clients in meeting
their financial goals through the use of financial investments. We conduct at least one, but sometimes
more than one meeting (in person if possible, otherwise via telephone conference) with clients in
order to understand their current financial situation, existing resources, financial goals, and
tolerance for risk. Based on what we learn, we propose an investment approach to the client. We may
propose an investment portfolio, consisting of exchange traded funds, mutual funds, individual
stocks or bonds, or other securities. Upon the client’s agreement to the proposed investment plan,
we work with the client to establish or transfer investment accounts so that we can manage the
client’s portfolio. Once the relevant accounts are under our management, we review such accounts
on a regular basis and at least quarterly. We may periodically rebalance or adjust client accounts
under our management. If the client experiences any significant changes to his/her financial or
personal circumstances, the client must notify us so that we can consider such information in
managing the client’s investments.
We may utilize Independent Money Managers, where we design an investment portfolio on a fee-only
basis for a percentage of assets in conjunction with another investment advisory firm. Before
selecting other advisers, we make sure that the other advisers are properly licensed or registered.

How We Are Compensated for Our Advisory Services
Comprehensive Portfolio Management:
Annual Percentage of Assets Charge
0.95%
Negotiable
Assets Under Management
$2,500,000 to $4,999,999.99
$5,000,000 +
Our firm’s annualized fees are billed on a pro-rata basis quarterly in advance based on the value of
your account on the last day of the previous quarter. Adjustments will be made for deposits and
withdrawals during the quarter. Our firm bills on cash unless indicated otherwise in writing. Our firm
charges an advisory fee of up to 0.45% of assets under management for accounts subject to our firm’s
income strategy. The specific fee rate will be detailed in the applicable client’s signed advisory
agreement. Fees are negotiable in certain circumstances for legacy clients, employees, and their
family members. Fees will be deducted from your managed account. As part of this process, the client
is made aware of the following:
a) Your independent custodian sends statements to you on at least a quarterly (typically monthly)
basis showing your holdings, their market value, and all disbursements.
b) You provide authorization permitting us to be paid directly from the managed account held by
the independent custodian.
c) Your independent custodian calculates the advisory fees for all fee schedules and deducts them
from your account.
d) If we send our own statement to our clients, we encourage our clients to compare the information
provided in our statements with those from the qualified custodian in account opening notices
and subsequent statements.
We may pay compensation to Independent Money Managers for services rendered by these firms to
our clients and our firm. This compensation is typically equal to a percentage of the overall
investment advisory fee charged by our firm or an agreed upon fixed fee. The advisory fee paid to
Independent Money Managers shall never exceed the overall amount in our published fee statement.
We usually pay twenty-five (25) to fifty-percent (50%) of the overall advisory fee to Independent
Money Managers for their services.
Other Types of Fees & Expenses:
You may pay custodial fees, charges imposed directly by a mutual fund, index fund, or exchange
traded fund which shall be disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (i.e., fund management fees and other
fund expenses), mark-ups and mark-downs, spreads paid to market makers, wire transfer fees and
other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. These fees are not included
within the wrap-fee you are charged by our firm.
We do not recommend or offer the wrap program services of other providers. Our investment
advisory representatives receive a portion of the advisory fee that you pay us, either directly as a
percentage of your overall fee or as their salary from our firm. In cases where our investment
advisory representatives are paid a percentage of your overall advisory fee, this may create an
incentive to recommend that you participate in a wrap fee program rather than a non-wrap fee
program (where you would pay for trade execution costs) or brokerage account where commissions
are charged. This is because, in some cases, we may stand to earn more compensation from advisory
fees paid to us through a wrap fee program arrangement if your account is not actively traded.
ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure

Boone Wealth Advisors, LLC
Item 5: Account Requirements & Types of Clients
We impose the following requirement(s) to open or maintain an account:
• Minimum total account size of $2,500,000 for our Wrap Comprehensive Portfolio
Management service.
Types of clients we typically manage wrap fee accounts on behalf of, include:
•
Individuals and High Net-Worth Individuals;
• Trusts, Estates or Charitable Organizations;
• Pension and Profit Sharing Plans;
• Corporations, Limited Liability Companies and/or Other Business Types.
Item 6: Portfolio Manager Selection & Evaluation
Our firm does not utilize outside portfolio managers for our wrap fee program. All wrap accounts are
managed by our in-house professionals. This may create a conflict of interest in that other investment
advisory firms may charge the same or lower fees than our firm for similar services. Our related
person portfolio managers are not subject to the same selection and review as outside portfolio
managers that participate in the wrap fee program.
Advisory Business:
See Item 4 for information about our wrap fee advisory program. We offer individualized investment
advice to all of our clients. Each client has the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types
of investments to be held in the portfolio. Restrictions on investments in certain securities or types of
securities may not be possible due to the level of difficulty this would entail in managing the account.
Restrictions would be limited to our Wrap Comprehensive Portfolio Management service. We do not
manage assets through our other Financial Planning & Consulting services.
Participation in Wrap Fee Programs:
Our wrap fee and non-wrap fee accounts are managed on an individualized basis according to the
client’s investment objectives, financial goals, risk tolerance, etc. We do not manage wrap fee
accounts in a different fashion than non-wrap fee accounts.
Performance-Based Fees & Side-By-Side Management:
We do not charge performance fees to our clients.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies & Risk of Loss:
We use the following methods of analysis in formulating our investment advice and/or managing
client assets:
• Charting;
• Cyclical;
• Fundamental; and
• Technical.
ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure
Page 6
Boone Wealth Advisors, LLC
We use the following strategies in managing client accounts, provided that such strategies are
appropriate to the needs of the client and consistent with the client's investment objectives, risk
tolerance, and time horizons, among other considerations:
• Long Term Purchases (Securities Held At Least a Year);
• Short Term Purchases (Securities Sold Within a Year);
• Trading (Securities Sold Within 30 Days);
• Short Sales;
• Margin Transactions; and
• Option Writing, including Covered Options, Uncovered Options or Spreading Strategies.
Please note: Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. While
your investments in securities may increase and your account(s) could enjoy a gain, it is also possible
that they may decrease and your account(s) could suffer a loss. It is important that you understand
the risks associated with investing in securities and that your investments are appropriately
diversified according to your investment objectives. We invite you to ask us any questions you may
have.
Voting Client Securities:
We do not and will not accept the proxy authority to vote client securities. Clients will receive proxies
or other solicitations directly from their custodian or a transfer agent. In the event that proxies are
sent to our firm, we will forward them on to you and ask the party who sent them to mail them
directly to you in the future. Clients may call, write or email us to discuss questions they may have
about particular proxy votes or other solicitations.
Third party money managers selected or recommended by our firm may vote proxies for clients.
Therefore, except in the event a third party money manager votes proxies, 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. Therefore (except for proxies that may be voted by a third party money manager),
our firm and/or the client shall instruct the qualified custodian to forward to copies of all proxies and
shareholder communications relating to the client’s investment assets.
Item 7: Client Information Provided to Portfolio Manager(s)
We are required to describe the information about you that we communicate to your portfolio
manager(s), and how often or under what circumstances we provide updated information. Our firm
communicates with your portfolio manager(s) on a regular basis as needed (daily, weekly, monthly,
etc) to ensure your most current investment goals and objectives are understood by your portfolio
manager(s). In most cases, we will communicate such information as part of our regular investment
management duties. Nevertheless, we will also communicate information to your portfolio
manager(s) when you ask us to, when market or economic conditions make it prudent to do so, etc.
Item 8: Client Contact with Portfolio Manager(s)
Clients are always free to directly contact their portfolio manager(s) with any questions or concerns
they have about their portfolios or other matters.
ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure

Boone Wealth Advisors, LLC
Item 9: Additional Information
Disciplinary Information
We have determined that our firm and management have no disciplinary information to disclose.
Financial Industry Activities & Affiliations
Certain representatives of our firm are registered representatives of LPL Financial, LLC, member
FINRA/SIPC. They may offer products and receive normal and customary commissions as a result of
these transactions. A conflict of interest may arise as these commissionable securities sales may
create an incentive to recommend products based on the compensation they may earn and may not
necessarily be in the best interests of the client.
Representatives of our firm are also licensed insurance agents through numerous insurance
companies. In such a capacity, they may offer insurance products and receive normal and customary
commissions as a result of such purchases. This presents a conflict of interest to the extent that they
recommend the purchase of an insurance product, which results in a commission being paid to one
of them as an insurance agent.
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions & Personal Trading
We recognize that the personal investment transactions of members and employees of our firm demand
the application of a high Code of Ethics and require that all such transactions be carried out in a way that
does not endanger the interest of any client. At the same time, we believe that if investment goals are
similar for clients and for members and employees of our firm, it is logical and even desirable that there
be common ownership of some securities. Therefore, in order to prevent conflicts of interest, we have
in place a set of procedures (including a pre-clearing procedure) with respect to transactions effected
by our members, officers and employees for their personal accounts1.
In order to monitor compliance with our personal trading policy, we have a quarterly securities
transaction reporting system for all of our associates. Furthermore, our firm has established a Code of
Ethics which applies to all of our associated persons. An investment adviser is considered a fiduciary. As
a fiduciary, it is an investment adviser’s responsibility to provide fair and full disclosure of all material
facts and to act solely in the best interest of each of our clients at all times. We have a fiduciary duty to
all clients. Our fiduciary duty is considered the core underlying principle for our Code of Ethics which
also includes Insider Trading and Personal Securities Transactions Policies and Procedures. We require
all of our supervised persons to conduct business with the highest level of ethical standards and to
comply with all federal and state securities laws at all times. Upon employment or affiliation and at least
annually thereafter, all supervised persons will sign an acknowledgement that they have read,
understand, and agree to comply with our Code of Ethics. Our firm and supervised persons must conduct
business in an honest, ethical, and fair manner and avoid all circumstances that might negatively affect
or appear to affect our duty of complete loyalty to all clients. This disclosure is provided to give all clients
a summary of our Code of Ethics. However, if a client or a potential client wishes to review our Code of
Ethics in its entirety, a copy will be provided promptly upon request.
1 For purposes of the policy, our associate’s personal account generally includes any account (a) in the name of our associate, his/her spouse,
his/her minor children or other dependents residing in the same household, (b) for which our associate is a trustee or executor, or (c) which our
associate controls, including our client accounts which our associate controls and/or a member of his/her household has a direct or indirect
beneficial interest in.
ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure

Boone Wealth Advisors, LLC
Review of Accounts
We review accounts on at least a quarterly basis for our clients subscribing to our Wrap
Comprehensive Portfolio Management service. The nature of these reviews is to learn whether
clients’ accounts are in line with their investment objectives, appropriately positioned based on
market conditions, and investment policies, if applicable. Only our Financial Advisors or Portfolio
Managers will conduct reviews.
We may review client accounts more frequently than described above. Among the factors which may
trigger an off-cycle review are major market or economic events, the client’s life events, requests by
the client, etc. We do not provide written reports to clients, unless asked to do so. Verbal reports to
clients take place on at least an annual basis when we meet with clients who subscribe to our Wrap
Comprehensive Portfolio Management service.
Additional Compensation
We may receive from LPL Financial or a mutual fund company, without cost and/or at a discount non
soft-dollar support services and/or products, to assist us to better monitor and service client
accounts maintained at such institutions. Included within the support services we may receive
investment-related research, pricing information and market data, software and other technology
that provide access to client account data, compliance and/or practice management-related
publications, discounted or gratis consulting services, discounted and/or gratis attendance at
conferences, meetings, and other educational and/or social events, marketing support, computer
hardware and/or software and/or other products used by us to assist us in our investment advisory
business operations.
Boone Wealth Advisors and/or its Dually Registered Persons are incented to join and remain
affiliated with LPL Financial and to recommend that clients establish accounts with LPL Financial
through the provision of Transition Assistance (discussed in Item 12 above). LPL also provides other
compensation to Boone Wealth Advisors and its Dually Registered Persons, including but not limited
to, bonus payments, repayable and forgivable loans, stock awards and other benefits.
The receipt of any such compensation creates a financial incentive for your representative to
recommend LPL Financial as custodian for the assets in your advisory account. We encourage you
to discuss any such conflicts of interest with your representative before making a decision to custody
your assets at LPL Financial.
Referral Fees
In accordance with Rule 206 (4)-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, our firm does not provide
cash or non-cash compensation directly or indirectly to unaffiliated persons for testimonials or
endorsements (which include client referrals).
Financial Information
We are not required to provide financial information in this Brochure because:
• We do not require the prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees and six or more months in
advance.
• We do not have a financial condition or commitment that impairs our ability to meet
contractual and fiduciary obligations to clients.
ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure

• We have never been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.

Description of the Types of Advisory Services We Offer
Comprehensive Portfolio Management:
Our Comprehensive Portfolio Management service encompasses asset management as well as
providing financial planning/financial consulting to clients. It is designed to assist clients in meeting
their financial goals through the use of financial investments. We conduct at least one, but sometimes
more than one meeting (in person if possible, otherwise via telephone conference) with clients in
order to understand their current financial situation, existing resources, financial goals, and
tolerance for risk. Based on what we learn, we propose an investment approach to the client. We
may propose an investment portfolio, consisting of exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds,
individual stocks or bonds, or other securities. Upon the client’s agreement to the proposed
investment plan, we work with the client to establish or transfer investment accounts so that we can
manage the client’s portfolio. Once the relevant accounts are under our management, we review such
accounts on a regular basis and at least quarterly. We may periodically rebalance or adjust client
accounts under our management. If the client experiences any significant changes to his/her
financial or personal circumstances, the client must notify us so that we can consider such
information in managing the client’s investments.
We may utilize Independent Money Managers, where we design an investment portfolio on a fee-only
basis for a percentage of assets in conjunction with another investment advisory firm. Before
selecting other advisers, we make sure that the other advisers are properly licensed or registered.
Financial Planning & Consulting:
We provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to individuals, families and other
clients regarding the management of their financial resources based upon an analysis of the client’s
current situation, goals, and objectives. Our firm furnishes financial planning advice through
consultation. Some specific areas covered are:
• Business Planning
• Goal Planning
• Real Estate
•
Investment or Asset Allocation
Analysis
• Financial Statements
• Employee Stock Option Analysis
• Other areas/issues as needed on an
individual basis
• Retirement Planning
• Financial Independence
• Estate Planning
• Trusts
• Education Planning
• Financial Goals
• Accumulation Goals
•
Insurance Planning
• Tax Planning

Boone Wealth Advisors, LLC
It is important that we understand your financial goals and dreams, so we typically schedule three
meetings. The first is an introductory, no obligation, complimentary meeting where we share
information about our planning process and see if our services are compatible with your goals. The
second meeting can be appended to the first if time allows, and it is in this meeting that we sign the
financial planning agreement and gather data about your financial condition. It is not until the second
meeting that we begin tracking billed hours. Between the second and third meetings we will often
email or call you to make sure we understand your questions and have all the information we need
to answer them. The third meeting consists of the financial plan delivery and financial planning
recommendations. Because we tailor each plan to a person’s particular concerns, the duration of the
meetings and the length of the meetings vary, but the first meeting averages half an hour to an hour,
the second forty-five to ninety minutes, and the financial plan delivery and recommendations usually
lasts between ninety minutes and three hours. The time between the initial meeting and financial
plan delivery meeting is typically two to four weeks. After the final meeting we will mail you a hard
copy of the financial planning recommendations that takes into account any changes made during
that meeting. The financial planning agreement terminates annually or when the financial plan has
been delivered, whichever comes first. However, we will answer any questions about the plan that
may come up to one year from the date the financial planning agreement was signed.
Our written financial plans or financial consultations rendered to clients usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the clients. For example,
recommendations may be made that the clients begin or revise investment programs, create or revise
wills or trusts, obtain or revise insurance coverage, commence or alter retirement savings, or
establish education or charitable giving programs. It should also be noted that we refer clients to an
accountant, attorney or other specialist, as necessary for non-advisory related services. For written
financial planning engagements, we provide our clients with a written summary of their financial
situation, observations, and recommendations. For financial consulting engagements, we usually do
not provide our clients with a written summary of our observations and recommendations as the
process is less formal than our planning service. Plans or consultations are typically completed within
six (6) months of the client signing a contract with us, assuming that all the information and
documents we request from the client are provided to us promptly. Implementation of the
recommendations will be at the discretion of the client.
LPL Financial Sponsored Advisory Programs:
Our firm may provide advisory services through certain programs sponsored by LPL Financial
(“LPL”), a registered investment adviser and broker-dealer. Below is a brief description of each LPL
advisory program available to our firm. For more information regarding the LPL programs, including
more information on the advisory services and fees that apply, the types of investments available in
the programs and the potential conflicts of interest presented by the programs please see the LPL
Financial Form ADV Part 2 or the applicable program’s Appendix 1 (wrap fee program brochure) and
the applicable client agreement.
Manager Access Select Program
Manager Access Select provides clients access to the investment advisory services of professional
portfolio management firms for the individual management of client accounts. Advisor will assist
client in identifying a third party portfolio manager (Portfolio Manager) from a list of Portfolio
Managers made available by LPL. The Portfolio Manager manages client’s assets on a discretionary
basis. Advisor will provide initial and ongoing assistance regarding the Portfolio Manager selection
process.
Optimum Market Portfolios Program (OMP)
OMP offers clients the ability to participate in a professionally managed asset allocation program
using Optimum Funds Class I shares. Under OMP, client will authorize LPL on a discretionary basis
to purchase and sell Optimum Funds pursuant to investment objectives chosen by the client. Advisor
will assist the client in determining the suitability of OMP for the client and assist the client in setting
an appropriate investment objective. Advisor will have discretion to select a mutual fund asset
allocation portfolio designed by LPL consistent with the client’s investment objective. LPL will have
discretion to purchase and sell Optimum Funds pursuant to the portfolio selected for the client. LPL
will also have authority to rebalance the account.
Personal Wealth Portfolios Program (PWP)
PWP offers clients an asset management account using asset allocation model portfolios designed by
LPL. Advisor will have discretion for selecting the asset allocation model portfolio based on client’s
investment objective. Advisor will also have discretion for selecting third party money managers
(PWP Advisors) or mutual funds within each asset class of the model portfolio. LPL will act as the
overlay portfolio manager on all PWP accounts and will be authorized to purchase and sell on a
discretionary basis mutual funds and equity and fixed income securities.
Model Wealth Portfolios Program (MWP)
MWP offers clients a professionally managed mutual fund asset allocation program. We will obtain
the necessary financial data from the client, assist the client in determining the suitability of the MWP
program and assist the client in setting an appropriate investment objective. The Advisor will initiate
the steps necessary to open an MWP account and have discretion to select a model portfolio designed
by LPL’s Research Department consistent with the client’s stated investment objective. LPL’s
Research Department is responsible for selecting the mutual funds within a model portfolio and for
making changes to the mutual funds selected. The client will authorize LPL to act on a discretionary
basis to purchase and sell mutual funds (including in certain circumstances exchange traded funds)
and to liquidate previously purchased securities. The client will also authorize LPL to effect
rebalancing for MWP accounts.
The MWP program makes available model portfolios designed by strategists other than LPL’s
Research Department. The Advisor will have discretion to choose among the available models
designed by LPL and outside strategists.
Guided Wealth Portfolios (GWP)
GWP offers clients the ability to participate in a centrally managed, algorithm-based investment
program, which is made available to users and clients through a web-based, interactive account
management portal (“Investor Portal”). Investment recommendations to buy and sell open-end
mutual funds and exchange-traded funds are generated through proprietary, automated, computer
algorithms (collectively, the “Algorithm”) of Xulu, Inc., doing business as FutureAdvisor
(“FutureAdvisor”), based upon model portfolios constructed by LPL and selected for the account as
described below (such model portfolio selected for the account, the “Model Portfolio”).
Communications concerning GWP are intended to occur primarily through electronic means
(including but not limited to, through email communications or through the Investor Portal),
although our firm will be available to discuss investment strategies, objectives or the account in
general in person or via telephone.
Form ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure

Boone Wealth Advisors, LLC
A preview of the Program (the “Educational Tool”) is provided for a period of up to forty-five (45)
days to help users determine whether they would like to become advisory clients and receive ongoing
financial advice from LPL, FutureAdvisor and our firm by enrolling in the advisory service (the
“Managed Service”). The Educational Tool and Managed Service are described in more detail in the
GWP Program Brochure. Users of the Educational Tool are not considered to be advisory clients of
LPL, FutureAdvisor or our firm, do not enter into an advisory agreement with LPL, FutureAdvisor or
our firm, do not receive ongoing investment advice or supervisions of their assets, and do not receive
any trading services.
Tailoring of Advisory Services
We offer individualized investment advice to clients utilizing our Comprehensive Portfolio
Management and Financial Planning & Consulting services. Each client has the opportunity to place
reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in the portfolio. Restrictions on
investments in certain securities or types of securities may not be possible due to the level of
difficulty this would entail in managing the account. Restrictions would be limited to our
Comprehensive Portfolio Management service. We do not manage assets through our other service.
Participation in Wrap Fee Programs
We offer wrap fee programs as further described in Part 2A, Appendix 1 (the “Wrap Fee Program
Brochure”) of our Brochure. Our wrap fee and non-wrap fee accounts are managed on an
individualized basis according to the client’s investment objectives, financial goals, risk tolerance, etc.
We do not manage wrap fee accounts in a different fashion than non-wrap fee accounts. As further
described in our Wrap Fee Program Brochure, we receive a portion of the wrap fee for our services.
Regulatory Assets Under Management
As of December 31st, 2025, we managed $506,779,239 in regulatory assets under management on a
discretionary basis.

income strategy. The specific fee rate will be detailed in the applicable client’s signed advisory
agreement. Fees are negotiable in certain circumstances for legacy clients, employees, and their
family members. Fees will be automatically deducted from your managed account. As part of this
process, the client is made aware of the following:
a) Your independent custodian sends statements to you on at least a quarterly (typically monthly)
basis showing your holdings, their market value, and all disbursements.
b) You provide authorization permitting us to be paid directly from the managed account held by
the independent custodian.
c) Your independent custodian calculates the advisory fees for all fee schedules and deducts them
from your account.
d) If we send our own statement to our clients, we encourage our clients to compare the information
provided in our statements with those from the qualified custodian in account opening notices
and subsequent statements.
We may pay compensation to Independent Money Managers for services rendered by these firms to
our clients and our firm. This compensation is typically equal to a percentage of the overall
investment advisory fee charged by our firm or an agreed upon fixed fee. The advisory fee paid to
Independent Money Managers shall never exceed the overall amount in our published fee statement.
We usually pay twenty-five (25) to fifty-percent (50%) of the overall advisory fee to Independent
Money Managers for their services.
Financial Planning & Consulting:
We charge on an hourly or flat fee basis for financial planning and consulting services. The total
estimated fee, as well as the ultimate fee that we charge you, is based on the scope and complexity of
our engagement with you. Our fees are calculated based on the time spent and the hourly rate of the
person doing the work. Our hourly fees are as follows:
Name
Hourly Rate
Michael Boone, CFA, CFP® $1,000/hour
Shawn M. Nelson, CFP®
Ryan Alderfer, CFP®

Our Comprehensive Financial Planning fees are not negotiable and are billed after the delivery of the
financial plan. Our flat fees range from $2,000 - $7,500 with a minimum fee of $1,500 for written
financial plans. We may require a retainer of 50% of the ultimate financial planning or consulting fee
with the remainder of the fee directly billed to you and due to us within 30 days of your financial plan
being delivered or consultation rendered to you. In all cases, we will not require a retainer exceeding
$1,200 when services cannot be rendered within 6 months.

LPL Sponsored Programs:
The account fee charged to the client for each LPL Financial advisory program varies up to a
maximum of 2.00%. Account fees are payable quarterly in advance. Fees are negotiable. The actual
fee assessed will be disclosed in the program. LPL Financial serves as program sponsor, investment
advisor and broker-dealer for the LPL Financial advisory programs. Our firm and LPL Financial share
in the account fee and other fees associated with program accounts.
GWP Managed Service clients are charged an account fee consisting of an LPL program fee of 0.35%
and an advisor fee of up to 1.00%. In the future, a strategist fee may apply. However, LPL Research
currently serves as the sole portfolio strategist and does not charge a fee for its services.
FutureAdvisor is compensated directly by LPL for its services, including the Algorithm and related
software, through an annual sub-advisory fee (tiered based on assets under management by
FutureAdvisor, at a rate ranging from 0.10% to 0.17%). As each asset tier is reached, LPL’s share of
the compensation shall increase and clients will not benefit from such asset tiers.
Other Types of Fees & Expenses
Non-wrap fee clients will incur transaction charges for trades executed in their accounts. These
transaction fees are separate from our fees and will be disclosed by the firm that the trades are
executed through. LPL Financial offers a trading platform with select exchange traded funds (“ETFs”)
that do not charge transaction fees. The no-transaction-fee ETF trading platform is available to clients
participating in LPL Financial’s Strategic Wealth Management (“SWM”) and Strategic Asset
Management (“SAM”) programs. Clients will be subject to transaction fees charged by LPL Financial
for ETFs not included in LPL Financial’s platform and for other types of securities. The limited
number of ETFs available on LPL Financial’s no-transaction fee platform may have higher overall
expenses than other types of securities and ETFs not included in the platform. Other major custodians
have eliminated transaction fees for all ETFs and U.S. listed equities, so clients may pay more for
investing in the same securities at LPL Financial.
Wrap fee clients will receive our Form ADV, Part 2A, Appendix 1 (the “Wrap Fee Program Brochure”).
Wrap fee clients will not incur transaction costs for trades. More information about this is disclosed
in our separate Wrap Fee Program Brochure.
Also, clients will pay the following separately incurred expenses, which we do not receive any part
of: charges imposed directly by a mutual fund, index fund, or exchange traded fund which shall be
disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (i.e., fund management fees and other fund expenses).
Termination & Refunds
We charge our advisory fees quarterly in advance for our Comprehensive Portfolio Management
service. Either party may terminate the advisory agreement signed with our firm for our
Comprehensive Portfolio Management service by providing written notice to the other party. Upon
receipt of the letter of termination, we will proceed to close out your account and process a pro-rata
refund of any unearned advisory fees.
Financial Planning & Consulting clients may terminate their agreement at any time before the
delivery of a financial plan by providing written notice. For purposes of calculating refunds, all work
performed by us up to the point of termination shall be calculated at the hourly fee currently in effect.
Form ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure

Clients will receive a pro-rata refund of unearned fees based on the time and effort expended by our
firm.
Commissionable Securities Sales
In order to sell securities for a commission, our supervised persons are registered representatives of
LPL Financial, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC. Our supervised persons may accept compensation for the
sale of securities or other investment products, including distribution or service (“trail”) fees from
the sale of mutual funds. You should be aware that the practice of accepting commissions for the sale
of securities:
1. Presents a conflict of interest and gives our firm and/or our supervised persons an incentive to
recommend investment products based on the compensation received, rather than on your
needs. We generally address commissionable sales conflicts that arise when explaining to clients
that commissionable securities sales creates an incentive to recommend products based on the
compensation we and/or our supervised persons may earn and/or when recommending
commissionable mutual funds, explaining that “no-load” funds are also available.
2. In no way prohibits you from purchasing investment products recommended by us through other
brokers or agents which are not affiliated with us.
3. Does not exceed more than 50% of our revenue.
4. Does not reduce your advisory fees to offset the commissions our supervised persons receive.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees & Side-By-Side Management
We do not accept performance-based fees.
Item 7: Types of Clients & Account Requirements
We have the following types of clients:
•
Individuals and High Net Worth Individuals;
• Trusts, Estates or Charitable Organizations;
• Pension and Profit Sharing Plans; and
• Corporations, Limited Liability Companies and/or Other Business Types.
Our requirements for opening and maintaining accounts or otherwise engaging us:
• We do not require a minimum account value for our Comprehensive Portfolio Management
service.
• A minimum account value of $100,000 is required for Manager Access Select, however, in
certain instances, the minimum account size may be lower or higher.
• A minimum account value of $15,000 is required for OMP.
• A minimum account value of $250,000 is required for PWP.
• MWP requires a minimum asset value for a program account to be managed. The minimums
vary depending on the portfolio(s) selected and the account’s allocation amongst portfolios.
The lowest minimum for a portfolio is $25,000. In certain instances, a lower minimum for a
portfolio is permitted.
• A minimum account value of $5,000 is required to enroll in GWP’s Managed Service.

Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies & Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
We use the following methods of analysis in formulating our investment advice and/or managing
client assets:
• Charting;
• Cyclical;
• Fundamental;
• Technical.
Investment Strategies We Use
We use the following strategies in managing client accounts, provided that such strategies are
appropriate to the needs of the client and consistent with the client's investment objectives, risk
tolerance, and time horizons, among other considerations:
• Long Term Purchases (Securities Held At Least a Year);
• Short Term Purchases (Securities Sold Within a Year);
• Trading (Securities Sold Within 30 Days);
• Short Sales;
• Margin Transactions;
• Option Writing, including Covered Options, Uncovered Options or Spreading Strategies.
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. While your
investments in securities may increase and your account(s) could enjoy a gain, it is also possible that
they may decrease and your account(s) could suffer a loss. It is important that you understand the
risks associated with investing in securities and that your investments are appropriately diversified
according to your investment objectives. We invite you to ask us any questions you may have.
Description of Material, Significant or Unusual Risks
We generally invest client’s cash balances in money market funds, FDIC Insured Certificates of
Deposit, high-grade commercial paper and/or government backed debt instruments. Ultimately, we
try to achieve the highest return on our client’s cash balances through relatively low-risk
conservative investments. In most cases, at least a partial cash balance will be maintained in a money
market account so that our firm may debit advisory fees for our services related to Comprehensive
Portfolio Management, as applicable.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
There are no legal or disciplinary events that are material to the evaluation of our advisory business
or the integrity of our management.
Form ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure

Boone Wealth Advisors, LLC
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities & Affiliations
Certain investment adviser representatives are registered representatives of LPL Financial, LLC,
member FINRA/SIPC. Investment adviser representatives are also licensed insurance agents through
numerous insurance companies. In such capacities, they may offer products and receive normal and
customary commissions as a result of securities and insurance related transactions. A conflict of
interest may arise as these commissionable securities sales may create an incentive to recommend
products based on the compensation they may earn and may not necessarily be in the best interests
of the client. Our firm’s representative are bound by our Code of Ethics and each of our supervised
persons take steps to address the aforementioned potential conflicts of interest acting at all times in
the best interests of our clients. Please refer to Item 11 below for additional information.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
& Personal Trading
An investment adviser is considered a fiduciary and our firm has a fiduciary duty to all clients. As a
fiduciary, it is an investment adviser’s responsibility to provide fair and full disclosure of all material
facts and to act solely in the best interest of each of our clients at all times. Our fiduciary duty is
considered the core underlying principle for our Code of Ethics which also includes Insider Trading and
Personal Securities Transactions Policies and Procedures. If a client or a potential client wishes to review
our Code of Ethics in its entirety, a copy will be provided upon request.
We recognize that the personal investment transactions of members and employees of our firm demand
the application of a high Code of Ethics and require that all such transactions be carried out in a way that
does not endanger the interest of any client. At the same time, we believe that if investment goals are
similar for clients and for members and employees of our firm, it is logical and even desirable that there
be common ownership of some securities. Therefore, in order to prevent conflicts of interest, we have
in place a set of procedures (including a pre-clearing procedure) with respect to transactions effected
by our members, officers and employees for their personal accounts1.
In order to monitor compliance with our personal trading policy, we have a quarterly securities
transaction reporting system for all of our associates. Upon employment or affiliation and at least
annually thereafter, all supervised persons will sign an acknowledgement that they have read,
understand, and agree to comply with our Code of Ethics. Neither our firm nor a related person
recommends to clients, or buys or sells for client accounts, securities in which our firm or a related
person has a material financial interest. Related persons of our firm may buy or sell securities and
other investments that are also recommended to clients.
In order to minimize the aforementioned conflict of interest, our related persons will place client
interests ahead of their own interests and adhere to our firm’s Code of Ethics. Further, our related
persons will refrain from buying or selling the same securities prior to buying or selling for our clients
in the same day. If related persons’ accounts are included in a block trade, our related person’s accounts
will be traded in the same manner every time. Our firm and supervised persons must conduct business
in an honest, ethical, and fair manner and avoid all circumstances that might negatively affect or appear
1 For purposes of the policy, our associate’s personal account generally includes any account (a) in the name of our associate, his/her spouse,
his/her minor children or other dependents residing in the same household, (b) for which our associate is a trustee or executor, or (c) which our
associate controls, including our client accounts which our associate controls and/or a member of his/her household has a direct or indirect
beneficial interest in.
Form ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure

to affect our duty of complete loyalty to all clients. This disclosure is provided to give all clients a
summary of our Code of Ethics.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Selecting a Brokerage Firm
We seek to recommend a custodian/broker who will hold your assets and execute transactions on
terms that are overall most advantageous when compared to other available providers and their
services. We consider a wide range of factors, including, among others, the following:
• Timeliness of execution
• Timeliness and accuracy of trade confirmations
• Research services provided
• Ability to provide investment ideas
• Execution facilitation services provided
• Record keeping services provided
• Custody services provided
• Frequency and correction of trading errors
• Ability to access a variety of market venues
• Expertise as it relates to specific securities
• Financial condition
• Business reputation
• Quality of services
While our firm may recommend that clients establish brokerage accounts with LPL Financial, LLC,
member FINRA/SIPC, (“LPL Financial”). Clients are advised that they are under no obligation to
implement our recommendations and may choose a broker-dealer at their discretion. Clients may pay
commissions or fees that are higher or lower than those that may be obtained from elsewhere for similar
services.
LPL Financial provides brokerage and custodial services to independent investment advisory firms,
including Boone Wealth Advisors. For Boone Wealth Advisors’ accounts custodied at LPL Financial, LPL
Financial generally is compensated by clients through commissions, trails, or other transaction-based
fees for trades that are executed through LPL Financial or that settle into LPL Financial accounts. For
IRA accounts, LPL Financial generally charges account maintenance fees. In addition, LPL Financial also
charges clients miscellaneous fees and charges, such as account transfer fees. LPL Financial charges
Boone Wealth Advisors an asset-based administration fee for administrative services provided by LPL
Financial. Such administration fees are not directly borne by clients, but may be taken into account when
Boone Wealth Advisors negotiates its advisory fee with clients.
While LPL Financial does not participate in, or influence the formulation of, the investment advice
Boone Wealth Advisors provides, certain supervised persons of Boone Wealth Advisors are Dually
Registered Persons. Dually Registered Persons are restricted by certain FINRA rules and policies
from maintaining client accounts at another custodian or executing client transactions in such client
accounts through any broker-dealer or custodian that is not approved by LPL Financial. As a result,
the use of other trading platforms must be approved not only by Boone Wealth Advisors, but also by
LPL Financial.
Form ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 13
Boone Wealth Advisors, LLC
Clients should also be aware that for accounts where LPL Financial serves as the custodian, Boone
Wealth Advisors is limited to offering services and investment vehicles that are approved by LPL
Financial, and may be prohibited from offering services and investment vehicles that may be
available through other broker-dealers and custodians, some of which may be more suitable for a
client’s portfolio than the services and investment vehicles offered through LPL Financial.
Clients should understand that not all investment advisers require that clients custody their accounts
and trade through specific broker-dealers.
Clients should also understand that LPL Financial is responsible under FINRA rules for supervising
certain business activities of Boone Wealth Advisors and its Dually Registered Persons that are
conducted through broker-dealers and custodians other than LPL Financial. LPL Financial charges a
fee for its oversight of activities conducted through these other broker-dealers and custodians. This
arrangement presents a conflict of interest because Boone Wealth Advisors has a financial incentive
to recommend that you maintain your account with LPL Financial rather than with another broker-
dealer or custodian to avoid incurring the oversight fee.
Benefits Received by Boone Wealth Advisors Personnel
LPL Financial makes available to Boone Wealth Advisors various products and services designed to
assist Boone Wealth Advisors in managing and administering client accounts. Many of these products
and services may be used to service all or a substantial number of Boone Wealth Advisors’s accounts,
including accounts not held with LPL Financial. These include software and other technology that
provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmation and account statements); facilitate
trade execution (and aggregation and allocation of trade orders for multiple client accounts); provide
research, pricing information and other market data; facilitate payment of Boone Wealth Advisors’s
fees from its clients’ accounts; and assist with back-office functions; recordkeeping and client
reporting.
LPL Financial also makes available to Boone Wealth Advisors other services intended to help Boone
Wealth Advisors manage and further develop its business. Some of these services assist Boone
Wealth Advisors to better monitor and service program accounts maintained at LPL Financial,
however, many of these services benefit only Boone Wealth Advisors, for example, services that assist
Boone Wealth Advisors in growing its business. These support services and/or products may be
provided without cost, at a discount, and/or at a negotiated rate, and include practice management-
related publications; consulting services; attendance at conferences and seminars, meetings, and
other educational and/or social events; marketing support; and other products and services used by
Boone Wealth Advisors in furtherance of the operation and development of its investment advisory
business.
Where such services are provided by a third party vendor, LPL Financial will either make a payment
to Boone Wealth Advisors to cover the cost of such services, reimburse Boone Wealth Advisors for
the cost associated with the services, or pay the third party vendor directly on behalf of Boone Wealth
Advisors.
The products and services described above are provided to Boone Wealth Advisors as part of its
overall relationship with LPL Financial. While as a fiduciary Boone Wealth Advisors endeavors to act
in its clients’ best interests, the receipt of these benefits creates a conflict of interest because Boone
Wealth Advisors’s requirement that clients custody their assets at LPL Financial is based in part on
the benefit to Boone Wealth Advisors of the availability of the foregoing products and services and
Form ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 14
Boone Wealth Advisors, LLC
not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody or brokerage services provided by LPL Financial.
Boone Wealth Advisors’s receipt of some of these benefits may be based on the amount of advisory
assets custodied on the LPL Financial platform.
Transition Assistance Benefits
LPL Financial previously provided various benefits and payments to Dually Registered Persons
transitioning to the LPL Financial platform to assist the representative with the costs (including
foregone revenues during account transition) associated with transitioning his or her business to the
LPL Financial platform (collectively referred to as “Transition Assistance”). The proceeds of such
Transition Assistance payments are intended to be used for a variety of purposes, including but not
necessarily limited to, providing working capital to assist in funding the Dually Registered Person’s
business, satisfying any outstanding debt owed to the Dually Registered Person’s prior firm,
offsetting account transfer fees (ACATs) payable to LPL Financial as a result of the Dually Registered
Person’s clients transitioning to LPL Financial’s custodial platform, technology set-up fees, marketing
and mailing costs, stationary and licensure transfer fees, moving expenses, office space expenses,
staffing support and termination fees associated with moving accounts.
Transition Assistance payments and other benefits are provided to certain associated persons of
Boone Wealth Advisors in their capacity as registered representatives of LPL Financial. However,
the receipt of Transition Assistance by such Dually Registered Persons creates conflicts of interest
relating to Boone Wealth Advisors’ advisory business because it creates a financial incentive for
Boone Wealth Advisors’ representatives to recommend that its clients maintain their accounts with
LPL Financial. In certain instances, the receipt of such benefits is dependent on a Dually Registered
Person maintaining its clients’ assets with LPL Financial and therefore Boone Wealth Advisors has
an incentive to recommend that clients maintain their account with LPL Financial in order to
generate such benefits.
Boone Wealth Advisors attempts to mitigate these conflicts of interest by evaluating and
recommending that clients use LPL Financial’ s services based on the benefits that such services
provide to our clients, rather than the Transition Assistance earned by any particular Dually
Registered Person.
Soft Dollars
Our firm does not accept products or services that do not qualify for Safe Harbor outlined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as those services that do not aid in investment
decision-making or trade execution.
Client Brokerage Commissions
Our firm does not refer clients to particular broker-dealers in exchange for client referrals from those
broker-dealers.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
Our firm does not receive brokerage for client referrals.
Directed Brokerage
Neither we nor any of our firm’s related persons have discretionary authority in making the
determination of the brokers with whom orders for the purchase or sale of securities are placed for
execution, and the commission rates at which such securities transactions are effected.
Form ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 15
Boone Wealth Advisors, LLC
Permissibility of Client-Directed Brokerage
We allow clients to direct brokerage outside our recommendation. We may be unable to achieve the
most favorable execution of client transactions as Client directed brokerage may cost clients more
money. For example, in a directed brokerage account, you may pay higher brokerage commissions
because we may not be able to aggregate orders to reduce transaction costs, or you may receive less
favorable prices.
Special Considerations for ERISA Clients
A retirement or ERISA plan client may direct all or part of portfolio transactions for its account
through a specific broker or dealer in order to obtain goods or services on behalf of the plan. Such
direction is permitted provided that the goods and services provided are reasonable expenses of the
plan incurred in the ordinary course of its business for which it otherwise would be obligated and
empowered to pay.
ERISA prohibits directed brokerage arrangements when the goods or services purchased are not for
the exclusive benefit of the plan. Consequently, we will request that plan sponsors who direct plan
brokerage provide us with a letter documenting that this arrangement will be for the exclusive
benefit of the plan.
Aggregation of Purchase or Sale
We perform investment management services for various clients. There are occasions on which
portfolio transactions may be executed as part of concurrent authorizations to purchase or sell the same
security for numerous accounts served by our firm, which involve accounts with similar investment
objectives. Although such concurrent authorizations potentially could be either advantageous or
disadvantageous to any one or more particular accounts, they are effected only when we believe that to
do so will be in the best interest of the affected accounts. When such concurrent authorizations occur,
the objective is to allocate the executions in a manner which is deemed equitable to the accounts
involved. In any given situation, we attempt to allocate trade executions in the most equitable manner
possible, taking into consideration client objectives, current asset allocation and availability of funds
using price averaging, proration and consistently non-arbitrary methods of allocation.
Item 13: Review of Accounts or Financial Plans
We review accounts on at least a quarterly basis for our clients subscribing to our Comprehensive
Portfolio Management service. The nature of these reviews is to learn whether clients’ accounts are
in line with their investment objectives, appropriately positioned based on market conditions, and
investment policies, if applicable. We do not provide written reports to clients, unless asked to do so.
Verbal reports to clients take place on at least an annual basis when we contact clients who subscribe
to our Comprehensive Portfolio Management service. Only our Financial Advisors or Portfolio
Managers will conduct reviews.
We may review client accounts more frequently than described above. Among the factors which may
trigger an off-cycle review are major market or economic events, the client’s life events, requests by
the client, etc.
Financial Planning clients do not receive reviews of their written plans unless they take action to
schedule a financial consultation with us. We do not provide ongoing services to financial planning
clients, but are willing to meet with such clients upon their request to discuss updates to their plans,
changes in their circumstances, etc. Financial Planning clients do not receive written or verbal
Form ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 16
Boone Wealth Advisors, LLC
updated reports regarding their financial plans unless they separately contract with us for a post-
financial plan meeting or update to their initial written financial plan.
Item 14: Client Referrals & Other Compensation
Additional Compensation
We may receive from LPL Financial or a mutual fund company, without cost and/or at a discount non
soft-dollar support services and/or products, to assist us to better monitor and service client
accounts maintained at such institutions. Included within the support services we may receive
investment-related research, pricing information and market data, software and other technology
that provide access to client account data, compliance and/or practice management-related
publications, discounted or gratis consulting services, discounted and/or gratis attendance at
conferences, meetings, and other educational and/or social events, marketing support, computer
hardware and/or software and/or other products used by us to assist us in our investment advisory
business operations.
Boone Wealth Advisors and/or its Dually Registered Persons are incented to join and remain
affiliated with LPL Financial and to recommend that clients establish accounts with LPL Financial
through the provision of Transition Assistance (discussed in Item 12 above). LPL also provides other
compensation to Boone Wealth Advisors and its Dually Registered Persons, including but not limited
to, bonus payments, repayable and forgivable loans, stock awards and other benefits.
The receipt of any such compensation creates a financial incentive for your representative to
recommend LPL Financial as custodian for the assets in your advisory account. We encourage you
to discuss any such conflicts of interest with your representative before making a decision to custody
your assets at LPL Financial.
Referral Fees
In accordance with Rule 206 (4)-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, our firm does not provide
cash or non-cash compensation directly or indirectly to unaffiliated persons for testimonials or
endorsements (which include client referrals).
Item 15: Custody
All of our clients receive at least quarterly account statements directly from their custodians. Upon
opening an account with a qualified custodian on a client's behalf, we promptly notify the client in
writing of the qualified custodian's contact information. If we decide to also send account statements
to clients, such notice and account statements include a legend that recommends that the client
compare the account statements received from the qualified custodian with those received from our
firm.
The SEC issued a no‐action letter (“Letter”) with respect to the Rule 206(4)‐2 (“Custody Rule”) under
the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”). The letter provided guidance on the Custody
Rule as well as clarified that an adviser who has the power to disburse client funds to a third party
under a standing letter of instruction (“SLOA”) is deemed to have custody. As such, our firm has
adopted the following safeguards in conjunction with our custodian, LPL Financial:
Form ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 17
Boone Wealth Advisors, LLC
• The client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that includes the
client’s signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or the third
party’s account number at a custodian to which the transfer should be directed.
• The client authorizes the investment adviser, in writing, either on the qualified custodian’s
form or separately, to direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or from
time to time.
• The client’s qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction, such as
a signature review or other method to verify the client’s authorization, and provides a
transfer of funds notice to the client promptly after each transfer.
• The client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the client’s qualified
custodian.
• The investment adviser has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the
third party, the address, or any other information about the third party contained in the
client’s instruction.
• The investment adviser maintains records showing that the third party is not a related party
of the investment adviser or located at the same address as the investment adviser.
• The client’s qualified custodian sends the client, in writing, an initial notice confirming the
instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
Clients are encouraged to raise any questions with us about the custody, safety or security of their
assets and our custodial recommendations.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Clients have the option of providing our firm with investment discretion on their behalf, pursuant to
an executed investment advisory client agreement. By granting investment discretion, we are
authorized to execute securities transactions, which securities are bought and sold, the total amount
to be bought and sold, and the costs at which the transactions will be effected. Limitations may be
imposed by the client in the form of specific constraints on any of these areas of discretion with our
firm’s written acknowledgement.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
We do not accept proxy authority to vote client securities. Clients will receive proxies or other
solicitations directly from their custodian or a transfer agent. In the event that proxies are sent to our
firm, we will forward them on to you and ask the party who sent them to mail them directly to you in
the future. Clients may call, write or email us to discuss questions they may have about particular
proxy votes or other solicitations.
Third party money managers selected or recommended by our firm may vote proxies for clients.
Therefore, except in the event a third party money manager votes proxies, 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. Therefore (except for proxies that may be voted by a third party money manager),
our firm and/or the client shall instruct the qualified custodian to forward to copies of all proxies and
shareholder communications relating to the client’s investment assets.
