Item 4 – Advisory Business
Boulay was established in 2001 by the partners of the accounting firm Boulay PLLP to
provide investment advisory services to clients through Boulay’s Investment Advisor
Representatives. Boulay is co-owned by Boulay Holdings, LLC (47% ownership) and Boulay
PLLP (53% ownership). Boulay Holdings, LLC is held by current Wealth Management
Partners that work in and on the advisory practice every day, and include Joseph
Bloodgood, Jay Brown, Nathan Faith, Meghan Hanes (Hannon), Catherine Hogan, Ellen
Horan, Jon Melander, and Patrick Schneeman.
Boulay’s advisory business specifically offers services that include an Investment Advisory
Program, a Third-Party Managed Program and a Financial Planning Program, each of which
are described in greater detail below.
INVESTMENT ADVISORY PROGRAM
Clients, with assistance of their Investment Advisor Representative, will complete an
Investment Profile and provide information regarding their financial history, goals,
objectives, and financial concerns. Upon receipt and analysis of a client’s information, the
Investment Advisor Representative and client will determine an appropriate Investment
Strategy. Boulay also assists clients in allocating their assets among different investment
types that are deemed appropriate for reaching their objectives.
Boulay has developed and maintains several Target Portfolio Allocation models that Boulay
has defined as ranging from conservative to aggressive. Boulay’s Investment Selection and
Strategy Committees meet regularly to evaluate and recommend changes to the model
portfolios. Portfolios may be implemented among various asset classes which contain
securities consisting of, but not limited to, money market funds, mutual funds, exchange
traded funds, unit investment trusts, third party money managers, individual securities,
certificates of deposit and other investment vehicles that are deemed appropriate.
Boulay provides regular Portfolio Reviews, which include a comparison of actual client
allocations to Target Portfolio Allocations. Changes of Investment Strategy require prior
approval from the client in either written or electronic format which is acknowledged by
the Investment Advisory Representative.
When Boulay provides investment advice to clients regarding an employee benefit plan
account or individual retirement account, Boulay and its investment representatives are
fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of ERISA and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as
applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way Boulay makes money
creates some conflicts with client interests, so Boulay operates under a special rule that
requires Boulay to act in the clients' best interest and not put Boulay’s interest ahead of the
clients' interests.
Under this special rule’s provisions, Boulay must:
4
Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations
(give prudent advice).
Never put our financial interests ahead of those of the client when making
recommendations (give loyal advice).
Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments.
Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in our
clients' best interest.
Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
Give clients basic information about conflicts of interest.
RETIREMENT PLANNING AND CONSULTING SERVICES
Boulay provides various management and consulting services to qualified employee benefit
plans and their fiduciaries. This suite of institutional services is designed to assist plan
sponsors in structuring, managing, and optimizing their corporate retirement plans. Each
engagement is individually negotiated and customized and may include any or all of the
following services:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Plan design and review
Plan review and evaluation
Investment advice and review
Plan fee cost and cost analysis
Administrative/record keeping review
Fiduciary and compliance assistance
Fiduciary education
Participant education
Certain retirement plan services are provided by Boulay as a fiduciary under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). In accordance with ERISA Section
408(b)(2), each plan sponsor is provided with a written description of Boulay’s fiduciary
status, the specific services to be rendered, and all direct and indirect compensation Boulay
reasonably expects under the engagement. In addition, Boulay and its advisors act as
fiduciaries under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, with respect to
investment advice provided to a retirement plan, plan participant or beneficiary account,
subject to any limitations included in the written agreement with the client.
5
THIRD PARTY MANAGED PROGRAMS
In certain situations, Boulay uses the services of third-party managers or asset allocators to
offer asset management services to clients. Such programs can assist a client in
determining their risk profile and investment objectives and provide a relevant asset
allocation policy and management of the account. Such programs will generally provide
continuous management of the client’s account and provide reporting on the performance
of the account. Fees for such programs are disclosed in the third-party managers’ Form
ADV Part 2A.
Generally, third party management programs will have account minimums that must be
met before a client may obtain the manager’s services. Various managers have different
management philosophies and objectives.
Boulay will assist clients in evaluating their financial situation in order to help determine
the suitability of a third-party manager’s service. Boulay will be available to answer
questions that the client may have regarding their account and act as the communication
conduit between the client and the manager.
Investment decisions are made by the third-party manager in accordance with the
agreement between client and manager. Boulay will not directly conduct any securities
transactions on behalf of the client or participate directly in the selection of the securities
FINANCIAL PLANNING PROGRAM
to be purchased or sold for the client.
Boulay offers planning and review services that cover a client’s financial, estate, tax,
retirement, college-funding, and asset allocation for a fee. Boulay will gather financial
information and history from the client which may include retirement and financial goals,
investment objectives, investment horizon, financial needs, cash flow details, education
goals, savings tendencies, and other applicable financial information. Based upon a client’s
needs and desires, a financial plan will be prepared addressing those needs as appropriate.
Financial plans are based on the client’s financial situation at the time as well as financial
information disclosed by the client to Boulay. Clients are advised that certain assumptions
will be made with respect to interest and inflation rates and the use of past trends and
performance of the market and economy. However, past performance is in no way an
indication of future performance, and Boulay cannot offer any guarantees or promises that
a client’s financial goals and objectives will be met.
Implementation of Boulay’s financial planning recommendations is entirely at the client’s
discretion. Further, it is the clients’ responsibility to monitor the plan and request
revisions as desired. Clients are advised that Boulay does not offer any advice or guidance
on property, casualty, or liability insurance needs.

Please reference Items 10, 12 and 14 for disclosure of all identified conflicts of interest
related to our advisory business.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
INVESTMENT ADVISORY PROGRAM
The advisory fees payable upon initial implementation of the account may be paid by the
client upon receipt of the invoice from Boulay or collected directly from the account,
provided the client has given Boulay written authorization. Advisory fees for all subsequent
periods will be charged to and collected directly from the client’s account, in accordance
with the Investment Advisory Agreement, unless other arrangements have been made.
Advisory fees will be charged to and collected directly from the account early in the quarter
and will be based on the value of the portfolio as of the last working day of the previous
quarter.
Clients will be provided with access to a fee notification, which identifies the amount of the
advisory fee and the value of the account. Additionally, clients will be provided with an
account statement from their custodian reflecting the deduction of the advisory fee. If the
account does not contain sufficient funds to pay advisory fees, Boulay has limited authority
to sell or redeem securities in sufficient amounts to pay advisory fees. Clients may
reimburse the account for advisory fees paid to Boulay, except for ERISA and IRA accounts.
Fees are negotiable and are not based on a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of
the funds or any portion of the funds. Boulay also reserves the right to waive advisory fees
on any account at the sole discretion of the Investment Advisor Representative. The fee
will typically range from .60% to 1.95% based upon the size, nature, and complexity of the
client relationship. While Boulay does not require clients to have a minimum level of
investable assets, our minimum total annual fee is $10,000. For special circumstances the
minimum fee can be negotiated or established at a flat annual rate.
Boulay generally has two types of fee arrangements: a blended fee arrangement and an
incremental fee arrangement. Under the blended fee arrangement, the client would pay
one annual blended rate with respect to the entire portfolio based on the total size of the
account. Under the incremental fee arrangement, the annual rate is determined based on
the incremental thresholds for the size of the account.
7
Fees charged individual clients are set forth in individual Investment Advisory Agreements.
Clients may refer to the Investment Advisory Agreement for additional information and
disclosures. Client may elect to include tax preparation services as part of their Investment
Advisory Agreement. Tax preparation services are completed by Boulay PLLP and subject
to additional fees that are combined for purposes of billing.
In addition to the advisory fees, clients may incur costs for custodial services, account
maintenance fees, transaction fees, and other fees associated with maintaining the account.
Also, depending on a particular security, trading costs could be incurred which could range
from $0 to $24 per trade. Boulay strives to minimize trading costs. Some funds impose
short-term trading fees which can be triggered if the fund is not held long enough.
Transactions which result in short-term trading fees will be avoided unless extenuating
conditions exist. Boulay does not share in any portion of such fees. Mutual funds, exchange-
traded funds (ETFs), Separately Managed Funds (SMAs), and Unit Investment Trusts (UITs)
charge management and administrative fees that are paid from the client’s investment
balance. These fees are not shared with Boulay. Clients are encouraged to read the
investment’s prospectus prior to investing to understand an investment’s fees.
Additional assets deposited into the account after it is opened will be charged a pro-rata fee
based upon the number of days remaining in the then current calendar quarter. No fee
adjustments will be made for partial withdrawals or for account appreciation or
depreciation during the quarter.
Clients may terminate investment advisory services obtained from Boulay, without penalty,
upon written notice within five (5) business days after entering into the Investment
Advisory Agreement with Boulay. Clients will be responsible for any fees and charges
incurred from third parties as a result of maintaining the account such as transaction fees
for any securities transactions executed and account maintenance or custodial fees.
Thereafter, a client may terminate investment advisory services with 30-day’s notice in
either written or electronic format which is acknowledged by the Investment Advisory
Representative. If a client decides to terminate the investment advisory services during the
quarter, Boulay is under no obligation to refund fees paid for the current quarter. Under
certain circumstances, Boulay may choose to waive its invoice on a pro-rata basis but is not
obligated to do so.
8
THIRD PARTY MANAGED PROGRAMS
Advisory fees can vary depending on if the client obtained management services directly
from a single manager versus multiple managers. Advisory fees and any conflicts of interest
with respect to the third-party manager would be disclosed in the third-party manager’s
Form ADV Part 2A.
The fee charged by the third-party manager will be in addition to the fees charged by
Boulay. Boulay fees are negotiable and are not based on a share of capital gains or capital
appreciation of the funds or any portion of the funds. The Boulay fees would generally fall
below rates, set forth in either the Maximum Blended Rate or the Maximum Blended Rate
Schedules, provided above. Fees charged individual clients are set forth in individual
Investment Advisory Agreements and Appendices. Clients may refer to the Investment
Advisory Agreement and Appendices for additional information and disclosures.
Boulay fees payable upon initial implementation of the account may be paid by the client
upon receipt of the invoice from Boulay or collected directly from the account, provided the
client has given written authorization. Boulay fees for all subsequent periods will be
charged to and collected directly from the client’s account, except where other
arrangements are made. Boulay fees will be charged to and collected directly from the
account early in the quarter and will be based on the value of the portfolio as of the last
working day of the previous quarter.
Clients will be provided with a fee notification that identifies the amount of the advisory fee
and the value of the account. Additionally, clients will be provided with an account
statement reflecting the deduction of the advisory fee. If the account does not contain
sufficient funds to pay the advisory fee, Boulay has limited authority to sell or redeem
securities in sufficient amounts to do so. Clients may reimburse the account for advisory
fees paid to Boulay, except for ERISA and IRA accounts.
In addition to the advisory fees, clients may incur costs for custodial services, account
maintenance fees, transaction fees, and other fees associated with maintaining an account
with third party managers. Clients may also pay advisory fees to the manager of any mutual
fund they purchase. Such advisory fees are not shared with Boulay and are compensation
to the fund-manager, except as disclosed in Item 10. Clients should read the mutual fund
prospectus prior to investing.
Additional assets deposited into the Account after it is opened will be charged a pro-rata
fee based upon the number of days remaining in the then current calendar quarter. No fee
adjustments will be made for partial withdrawals or for account appreciation or
depreciation during the quarter.
Clients may terminate investment advisory services obtained from Boulay, without penalty,
upon written notice within five (5) business days after entering into the Investment
Advisory Agreement with Boulay. Clients will be responsible for any fees and charges
9
incurred from third parties as a result of maintaining the account such as transaction fees
for any securities transactions executed and account maintenance or custodial fees.
Thereafter, a client may terminate investment advisory services with 30-day’s notice in
either written or electronic format which is acknowledged by the Investment Advisory
Representative. If a client decides to terminate the investment advisory services during the
quarter, Boulay is under no obligation to refund fees paid for the current quarter. Under
certain circumstances, Boulay may choose to waive its invoice on a pro-rata basis but is not
obligated to do so.
FINANCIAL PLANNING PROGRAM
Boulay offers financial planning services on both a fixed fee and hourly fee basis. Fees are
negotiable based upon the complexity of the requested services and the personnel
involved, and are charged in accordance with the fee schedule below:
Fixed Fee: $10,000 to $50,000 – payable one-half (1/2) upon execution of the
agreement with Boulay and the balance due at the time of presentation of the plan,
unless otherwise negotiated with the client. Clients may terminate the agreement
with Boulay and receive a full refund of any pre-paid fees for planning services at
any time up to presentation of the financial plan to client.
Hourly Fee: $150 - $450 per hour – payable as invoiced by Boulay. Generally,
Boulay will invoice clients for all time spent each month. Clients may terminate
hourly services within five (5) business days after entering into the agreement
without penalty. After five (5) business days of entering into the agreement, the
client may terminate upon Boulay’s receipt of client’s written notice to terminate.
Clients will be responsible for any time spent by the Investment Advisor
Representative in providing services or analyzing the client’s situation.
Clients are advised that fees for financial planning are strictly for financial planning
services. Depending on the additional services and/or products obtained to execute their
financial plan, clients may pay additional fees and/or commissions for those services and
products. Please reference Items 10, 12 and 14 for disclosure of all identified conflicts of
interest related to our advisory business.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Boulay does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains
or capital appreciation of the assets of a client) or side-by-side management fees.
10
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Boulay provides portfolio management services to individuals, high net worth individuals,
corporate pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable institutions, foundations, and other
entities. Boulay generally requires that clients have a minimum of $1,000,000 of assets
under management to open and maintain an account with Boulay. This requirement may
be waived by Boulay.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Boulay’s investment strategy is based on the science of investing developed over decades of
academic research and institutional application. Boulay’s actions are focused on the
following factors that have a high correlation in creating a successful investment strategy.
1.
Diversification – using different Asset Classes (e.g., Equity and Bond) and
different classifications within them. Equity classes could include large
capitalization companies, small capitalization companies, international
companies, emerging markets, real estate, and others. Bonds could be
comprised of corporate, government (taxable and tax-free), international and
emerging markets.
2.
Minimizing fees and transaction costs when possible.
3.
Maximizing after-tax returns when possible.
Clients, with assistance of their Investment Advisor Representative, will complete an
Investment Profile and provide information regarding their financial history, goals,
objectives, and financial concerns. Upon receipt and analysis of a client’s information, the
Investment Advisor Representative and client will determine an appropriate Investment
Strategy. A client’s portfolio will often vary from the portfolio of other clients with similar
objectives due to personal and financial differences such as tax sensitivity, the presence of
concentrated stock positions and/or outside holdings as well as ethical or religious
preferences.
Portfolios will be diversified according to the asset class percentages indicated in the
selected Target Portfolio Allocation. The client and Investment Advisor Representative may
choose to exclude certain asset classes from a portfolio or choose to disregard the
Investment Profile for a specific Target Portfolio Allocation. Target Portfolio Allocations
may be adjusted depending on market conditions and/or client profile. Specific portfolio
holdings may be increased, decreased, eliminated, or added based on Boulay’s ongoing due
diligence process. Appreciating the importance of diversification, efforts are typically made
to limit any single holding to 20% or less of total holdings. Boulay generally does not time
the market in making major shifts to the Target Portfolio Allocations.
Depending on market conditions and the client’s investment objectives, investments used
by Boulay in Target Portfolio Allocations may include the stock of domestic large and small
11
companies, stocks of international and emerging market companies, real estate investment
trusts, government and corporate bonds, bank certificates of deposit, commodities and any
other investments reviewed and approved by the Investment Selection and Approval
Committee.
Differing returns among the various asset classes could result in the asset classes becoming
over or under-represented relative to the selected Target Portfolio Allocation. Rebalancing
is the process of adjusting any over or under-represented funds within the asset classes
back to the Target Portfolio Allocation percentages. Rebalancing may consist of buying or
selling portfolio holdings and/or utilizing additional deposits to maintain the Target
Portfolio Allocation. Market conditions, client profile, income taxes and trading costs will
also be taken into consideration, and portfolios will be rebalanced as appropriate.
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Boulay
does not represent, warrantee or imply that the services or methods of analysis used by
Boulay can or will predict future results, successfully identify market tops or bottoms, or
insulate clients from losses due to major market corrections or crashes.
All investments present the risk of loss of principal – which means the investments may be
worth less when sold than the price paid for the securities. There is also the risk of losing
purchasing power - which means the rate of appreciation of the investment is less than the
rate of inflation.
Each type of investment has unique risk characteristics which must be considered before
investing. These risks could include loss of value, loss of purchasing power and the ability
to convert the investment quickly to cash. More information about the risks of any specific
investment should be discussed with a Boulay Investment Advisor Representative before
investing.
Clients are advised that performance may be affected more on smaller accounts due to
difficulties with diversifying smaller accounts and due to risk controls potentially being
compromised. The performance of smaller accounts may vary from the performance of
accounts with more dollars invested due to fluctuations in the market that may affect
smaller accounts more. Also, the effects of compounding may be greater in larger accounts
versus smaller accounts. Generally, Boulay’s minimum account size is $250,000 invested.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Boulay is required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that
would be material to the evaluation of Boulay or the integrity of Boulay’s management.
Boulay has no information to disclose.
12
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Boulay is affiliated with Boulay PLLP, an accounting firm, as described in Item 4.
Investment Advisory Representatives are either employees of Boulay or Partners in Boulay
Holdings. They can also offer various accounting services of Boulay for a fee.
Boulay Insurance Solutions, LLC (BIS) is an insurance agency owned by Boulay. The
President of BIS is Jay R. Brown.
Boulay and BIS maintain a relationship with Valmark Securities, Inc., Executive Insurance
Agency, LLC, Valmark Advisers, Inc. (referred to as “Valmark”), and Long Road Risk
Management. These entities are affiliated with each other but are not affiliated with Boulay
and its affiliates. Valmark Advisers, Inc. is a registered investment advisor. Valmark
Securities, Inc. is a registered broker dealer, member FINRA and SIPC.
The relationship with Valmark enables Boulay and BIS to offer clients certain investment
and/or insurance products and services that are intended to enhance what Boulay can offer
its clients. This means that they can also promote Valmark Advisors, Inc. as a third-party
money manager. The following individuals are registered with Valmark, as indicated:
Jay R. Brown (representative of the Valmark broker dealer),
Joseph D. Bloodgood (representative of Valmark’s broker dealer and advisory firm),
and
Meghan Marie Hanes (Hannon) (representative of Valmark’s broker dealer and
advisory firm).
While Valmark entities are not affiliated with Boulay and its affiliates, the relationship with
Valmark leads to conflicts of interest, including the following:
Boulay Investment Advisor Representatives familiar with Valmark’s third-party
money manager and other Valmark investment and insurance products and
services. Thus, they are more likely to recommend Valmark over other competitive
offerings.
Boulay Investment Advisor Representatives are likely to promote Valmark because
the relationship with Valmark makes it possible for Boulay to provide services to
401(k) group plan sponsors, which represents significant business revenue to
Boulay.
Commissions may also be higher or lower at Valmark than at other broker dealers and
clients are under no obligation to purchase or sell securities through these representatives.
Neither Boulay nor its Investment Advisor Representatives are paid a commission by
Valmark for the products or services recommended to clients. While Boulay Investment
Advisor Representatives do not currently choose to earn commissions on the
recommended certain securities and/or insurance products provided by Valmark
Securities, Inc. or BIS, that situation could change in the future. Clients will be informed if
they are recommended products where Boulay Investment Advisor Representatives do
13
earn commissions. These commissions would be in addition to fees paid for advisory
services.
Clients to whom advisory services are provided are frequently clients that also receive
accounting services provided by Boulay. Clients are advised that fees for accounting
services are either in addition to fees paid for advisory services or bundled with the fees
paid for advisory services. Accounting services fees will only be bundled if the Client agrees
in writing to that arrangement through their Investment Advisory Agreement with Boulay.
Furthermore, Boulay is authorized to provide and be compensated for facilities, office and
administrative support for Boulay which is reflected in overall client advisory fees.
Andrew Kremer, Attorney, is a separate and distinct law practice owned by Andrew
Kremer, who is also a partner of Boulay. Generally, clients seeking estate planning services
will be referred to Andrew Kremer unless circumstances indicate otherwise. Clients are
advised that fees for legal services are in addition to fees paid for advisory services and
they are under no obligation to use the legal services of Andrew Kremer.
Boulay does not allow clients to direct brokerage business to other brokers or custodians
at this time. Please reference Item 12 for more information.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics
The Investment Advisor Representative has a fiduciary duty to clients to act in the best
interest of the client and always place the client’s interests first and foremost. Boulay and
our Investment Advisor Representatives acknowledge their fiduciary responsibility
according to the Advisors Act, as well as the DOL Fiduciary Rule. Boulay takes seriously its
compliance and regulatory obligations and requires all staff to comply with such rules and
regulations as well as Boulay’s policies and procedures. Boulay also strives to handle
clients’ non-public information in such a way to protect information from falling into hands
that have no business reason to know such information and provides clients with the
Boulay Privacy Policy.
Further, Boulay maintains a Code of Ethics for its Investment Advisor Representatives,
supervised persons, and staff. The Code of Ethics contains provisions for standards of
business conduct in order to comply with federal securities laws, personal securities
reporting requirements, pre-approval procedures for certain transactions, code violations
reporting requirements, and safeguarding of material non-public information about client
transactions. Boulay’s Code of Ethics establishes expectations for business conduct and
each Boulay Investment Advisor Representative and employee must annually acknowledge
the terms of the Code of Ethics.
Investment Advisor Representatives and employees of Boulay may trade for their own
accounts in securities which are recommended to and/or purchased for Boulay clients.
The Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions, activities
and interests of the employees of Boulay will not interfere with:
14
Making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients; and
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 Boulay’s clients. In addition, the Code requires pre-clearance of certain transactions, and
restricts trading in close proximity to client trading activity. Nonetheless, because the Code
of Ethics in some 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, to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between Boulay and its clients.
Client accounts may trade in the same securities on an aggregated basis when consistent
with Boulay’s obligation of best execution. In such circumstances, the client accounts will
share commission costs equally and receive securities at a total average price. Boulay will
retain records of the trade order (specifying each participating account) and its allocation,
which will be completed prior to the entry of the aggregated order. Completed orders will
be allocated as specified in the initial trade order. Partially filled orders will be allocated on
a pro rata basis. Any exceptions will be documented in writing.
Boulay and its Investment Adviser Representatives act as fiduciaries when rendering
investment advice for clients. Further, we act as fiduciaries under Employee Retirement
Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code when rendering investment advice
regarding qualified retirement plans, IRAs, Archer MSAs and HSAs (“Plans”), to sponsors,
participants and beneficiaries of such Plans, subject to the terms of our investment
advisory agreement.
Boulay’s clients or prospective clients may request a copy of the firm’s Code of Ethics by
contacting Catherine A. Hogan at (952) 209-5686 or chogan@boulaygroup.com.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
CUSTODIAN AND BROKERS USED
Boulay does not maintain custody of clients’ assets (see “Item 15 – Custody”, below).
Assets must be maintained in an account at a “qualified custodian,” generally a broker-
dealer or bank. Boulay generally recommends that clients use either Charles Schwab & Co.,
Inc. (Schwab), Fidelity Investments Institutional Services Company, Inc. (Fidelity),
Nationwide Securities, LLC (Nationwide), Pontera Solutions Inc. (Pontera), or The Standard
Insurance Company (The Standard) as their qualified custodian. Each is a registered
broker-dealer and member of SIPC. Boulay is independently owned and operated and not
affiliated with Schwab, Fidelity, Nationwide, Pontera, or The Standard. These custodians
will hold client assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell securities when Boulay
instructs them to. While Boulay generally recommends that clients use one of these firms
15
as their custodian/broker, clients will decide whether to do so and will open accounts by
entering into an account agreement with Schwab, Fidelity, Nationwide, Pontera, The
Standard, or another custodian of their choice.
SELECTING BROKERS/CUSTODIANS
Specific custodian products and services that assist Boulay to manage and administer
clients’ accounts include software and other technology that:
Provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account
statements).
Provide research, pricing, and other market data.
Facilitate payment of Boulay fees from its clients’ accounts.
Assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting.
Certain custodians also offer other services intended to help Boulay manage and further
develop its business enterprise, such as educational events or occasional business
entertainment of Boulay personnel. In evaluating whether to recommend or require that
clients custody their assets with a particular custodian, Boulay also considers the
availability of some of the foregoing products and services and other arrangements as part
of the total mix of factors and not solely the nature, cost or quality of custody services
provided by the custodian, which create potential conflicts of interest.
Boulay seeks to recommend a custodian/broker who will hold client assets and execute
transactions on terms that are, overall, more advantageous when compared to other
available providers. A wide range of factors are considered, such as:
Combination of transaction execution services and asset custody services
(generally without a separate fee for custody).
Capability to execute, clear and settle trades (buy and sell securities for clients’
account).
Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire
transfers, check requests, etc.).
Breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds,
exchange-traded funds [ETFs], etc.).
Availability of investment research and tools that assist Boulay in making
investment decisions.
Quality of services.
Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, margin
interest rates, other fees, etc.) and willingness to negotiate the prices.
Reputation, financial strength, and stability.
Prior service to Boulay and clients.
Availability of other products and services that benefit Boulay, as discussed
below (see Products and Services Available).
BROKERAGE AND CUSTODY COSTS
16
For clients’ accounts maintained by Schwab, Fidelity, Nationwide, Pontera, or the Standard,
the custodian generally does not charge separately for custody services but are
compensated by charging commissions or other fees on trades they execute or settle into
client’s accounts.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AVAILABLE
Schwab, Fidelity, Nationwide, Pontera, and The Standard are in business to serve
independent investment advisory firms like Boulay. They provide Boulay and its clients
with access to their institutional brokerage – trading, custody, reporting, and related
services – many of which are not typically available to their retail customers. Each firm also
makes available various support services. Some of these services help Boulay manage or
administer clients’ accounts, while others help manage and grow the business. These
support services generally are available on an unsolicited basis and at no charge to Boulay.
SERVICES THAT BENEFIT CLIENTS
Schwab, Fidelity, Nationwide, Pontera, and The Standard brokerage services include access
to a broad range of investment products, execution of securities transactions and custody
of client assets. The investment products available through them include some which
Boulay might not otherwise have access to or would require a significantly higher
minimum initial investment by Boulay clients. The services described in this paragraph
generally benefit Boulay clients.
SERVICES THAT MAY NOT DIRECTLY BENEFIT CLIENTS
Schwab, Fidelity, Nationwide, Pontera, and The Standard also make available to Boulay
other products and services that benefit Boulay but typically do not directly benefit clients
or clients’ accounts. These products and services assist Boulay in managing and
administering clients’ accounts. They include investment research from them and that of
third parties. Boulay uses this research to service all or a substantial number of clients’
accounts. In addition to investment research, these custodians also make available
software and other technology that:
Provides access to account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and
account statements).
Facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple
client accounts.
Provide pricing and other market data.
Facilitate payment of Boulay fees from clients’ accounts.
Assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting.
SERVICES THAT GENERALLY BENEFIT ONLY BOULAY
Schwab, Fidelity, Nationwide, Pontera, and The Standard also offer other services intended
to help Boulay manage and further develop its business enterprise. These services include:
17
Educational conferences and events.
Consulting on technology, compliance, legal and business needs.
Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession.
Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants and insurance
providers.
These custodians can provide some of these services themselves. In other cases, they may
arrange for third-party vendors to provide the services to Boulay. They can also discount or
waive their fees for some of these services or pay all or part of a third party’s fees. Schwab,
Fidelity, Nationwide, Pontera, and The Standard have also on occasion provided Boulay
with other benefits, such as occasional business entertainment for Boulay personnel. It is
expected that these custodians will continue these practices in the future.
BOULAY’S INTEREST IN CUSTODIAL SERVICES
The availability of these services benefits Boulay because Boulay does not have to produce
or purchase them. Boulay does not pay Schwab, Fidelity, or Nationwide for services so long
as Boulay clients collectively keep a sufficient amount of assets in accounts at the
respective custodian. Boulay does pay Pontera for services provided. Beyond that, these
services are not contingent upon committing any specific amount of assets to custody or
business that generates trading commissions. These arrangements give Boulay an incentive
to recommend that clients maintain accounts with one of these custodians over another,
based on Boulay’s interest in receiving specific custodian services that benefit Boulay’s
business rather than based on client’s interests in receiving the best value in custody
services. This is a potential conflict of interest. Boulay believes, however, that the
recommendation of Schwab, Fidelity, Nationwide, Pontera, or The Standard as a custodian
and broker is in the best interests of the clients. The recommendation is primarily
supported by the scope, quality, and price of their services (see “How Boulay Selects
Brokers/Custodians”) and not the benefit to Boulay.
Boulay may use trade aggregation when multiple orders for a security are made, and
implementation is consistent with Boulay’s obligation for best execution.
Certain custodians also offer other services intended to help Boulay manage and further
develop its business enterprise, such as educational events or occasional business
entertainment of Boulay personnel. In evaluating whether to recommend or require that
clients custody their assets with a particular custodian, Boulay takes into account the
availability of some of the foregoing products and services and other arrangements as part
of the total mix of factors it considers and not solely the nature, cost or quality of custody
services provided by the custodian, which can create potential conflicts of interest.
Boulay allows certain soft dollar arrangements offered by brokers or other vendors. An
example of which is an Investment Advisor Representative could receive assistance with
the costs of conferences and educational meetings from a product sponsor assisting with
such events.
18
Various account custodians also make available to Boulay other products and services that
benefit the registered investment advisor but do not directly benefit its clients’ accounts.
Many of these products and services can be used to service all or some substantial number
of Boulay accounts, including accounts not maintained at the particular custodian.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
The Boulay Investment Advisor Representatives review client accounts quarterly, or more
often if needed. During the reviews, the Investment Advisor Representative considers the
allocation of the account and the cash in the account to determine if the account has
deviated from the agreed upon allocation. Upon execution of the Investment Advisory
Agreement, comprehensive portfolio reviews will be provided as stated in the Investment
Advisory Agreement. The contents and delivery of the comprehensive portfolio review are
subject to the exceptions and minimum requirements stated in the Investment Advisory
Agreement. The reviews will begin after the delivery of assets and implementation into the
selected Investment Strategy. The reviews typically contain but are not limited to:
•
•
•
A Portfolio Overview,
A Comparison of the Current Allocation versus the Target Portfolio Allocation; and
A Portfolio Holdings Analysis.
The Investment Advisor Representative will offer to meet with clients at least annually or
at a client’s request to discuss the client’s accounts and to update the client’s financial
information should any changes occur. Clients are advised that the investment
recommendations and advice offered by the Investment Advisor Representative do not
represent legal advice or accounting advice. Clients are responsible for coordinating and
discussing the impact of financial advice with their attorney and/or accountant. Clients are
advised that it is necessary to inform Boulay promptly with respect to any changes in the
client’s financial situation and investment goals and objectives, as failure to notify Boulay of
any such changes could result in investment advice not meeting the needs of the client.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Boulay PLLP is an accounting firm and majority owner of Boulay Wealth. Certain partners
and employees of Boulay PLLP receive compensation for introducing accounting firm
clients to Boulay Wealth when the referral results in new business. The sole responsibility
of Boulay PLLP under this agreement is to introduce the client to the Investment Advisor
Representative. Investment Advisor Representatives of Boulay Wealth provide the
appropriate disclosures and render all investment advisory services. The compensation to
Boulay PLLP for these referral services is paid by Boulay Wealth from the investment
advisory fees earned to the extent permitted under applicable laws. Typically, this
compensation is paid annually for 1 to 3 years and may be up to 24% of the referred client
advisory fee revenues collected. There is no increase in the advisory fees paid by the client
to Boulay Wealth as a result of compensation paid to Boulay PLLP.
19
Item 15 – Custody
Boulay does not maintain custody of client assets, except in very limited circumstances.
Client assets must be held in an account at a custodial broker-dealer. Boulay is owned and
operated independently from, and is not affiliated with, any qualified custodial platform.
Based on recent SEC guidance, Boulay has determined that it has custody of certain client
assets when granted authority under a standing letter of instruction or similar
arrangement (“SLOA”) by which a client authorizes the custodian to accept instructions
from Boulay to make payments from the client’s account to one or more third parties
specifically designated by the client. Boulay relies on guidance from the SEC that it will not
seek enforcement action against an adviser for not subjecting itself to surprise custody
examination by an independent accounting firm provided that the firm’s custody of client
assets exists only under SLOAs that meet certain requirements and under other
arrangements not requiring a surprise audit. While Boulay recommends that clients use a
specific custodial broker-dealer, clients decide whether to do so and, depending upon the
custodian, open accounts by entering into an account agreement directly with the selected
custodial broker-dealer. Boulay does not open accounts for clients, although it will assist
clients in doing so. Custodians will hold client assets in a brokerage account and buy or sell
securities when instructed. Transaction costs vary by custodian. Clients will receive at least
quarterly statements from the broker dealer, bank or other qualified custodian that holds
and maintains client’s investment assets. Boulay urges clients to carefully review such
statements and compare such official custodial records to the account information
provided by Boulay. Any Boulay statements provided could vary from custodial statements
based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain
securities.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Boulay typically receives discretionary authority from the client at the outset of an
advisory relationship to select the identity and amount of securities to be bought or sold.
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, the Investment Advisor
Representative observes the investment policies, limitations, and restrictions of the clients
for which it advises. Restrictions or material changes made at the request of the client must
be stated in writing or electronic format and acknowledged by the Investment Advisory
Representative.
Non-discretionary accounts will be managed in accordance to an Investment Advisory
Agreement specific to such accounts.
20
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Boulay does not vote or give advice about how to vote proxies for securities held by the
clients.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Boulay is required in this item to provide clients with certain financial information or
disclosures about Boulay’s financial condition. Boulay has no financial commitment that
impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients and it has not
been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. Boulay does not accept fees in excess of
$1,200 more than 6 months of advance, in which case Boulay would be required to provide
its financial statements to clients.

Privacy Policy
Boulay Wealth
11095 Viking Drive, Suite 500
Eden Prairie, MN 55344
Pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Boulay is required to provide annual notice to
clients about its privacy policies and practices. If you have any questions about the policies
and practices described below, please contact us.
How and why we obtain information:
In order to facilitate the servicing of your account, we may ask for nonpublic personal
information about you from any of the following sources:
From your applications or forms (examples include name, address, Social
Security Number, birth date, bank references, assets and income)
From transactional activity in your account (examples include trading history
and account balances)
From other sources with your consent (for example, from other institutions if
you transfer positions into an account managed by Boulay Wealth)
How we protect your information:
Boulay considers the protection of sensitive information to be a sound business practice
and a foundation of client trust. We employ extensive information protection controls in
keeping with industry standards and practices, and we regularly enhance these physical,
electronic and procedural controls to respond to changing requirements and advances in
technology.
Within Boulay and among our service providers, we restrict access to your information to
those who require that access in order to provide products and services to you. We may
share the personal information that we collect about our clients, prospects or former
clients with:
Employees and other affiliates who are legally obligated to maintain
confidentiality
Unaffiliated service providers (for example, fulfillment companies, securities
custodians, or securities clearinghouses)
Government agencies and law enforcement officials (as required by law)
Other organizations, as permitted by the laws that protect your privacy (such as
for fraud prevention)
Other organizations, with your consent
At Boulay, we do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about you, except as
permitted by law or with your consent. You have provided the consent to disclose certain
nonpublic personal information to unaffiliated service providers, such as securities
custodians and issuers, under your Investment Advisory Agreement. You may hear
86
reference to an “opt out” provision at other firms. Since Boulay does not disclose any
nonpublic personal information except as permitted by law or your consent, there is no
ability to “opt out.” Former clients’ information is treated in the same manner as that of
current clients.
