Item 4 Advisory Business
Brick and Kyle is a SEC-registered investment adviser with its principal business address
located at 905 Mt. Eyre Road in Newtown, Pennsylvania. Brick and Kyle was founded in
1984 and was approved as a Registered Investment Adviser in April 1998.
Listed below are the firm's principal shareholders (i.e., those individuals and/or entities
controlling 25% or more of this company).
Edgar Wilson Brick, Chairman
Brick and Kyle Associates offers the following advisory services to our clients:
INDIVIDUAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Our firm provides asset management services for the individual needs of each client. Through
personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on the client’s particular
circumstances are established, we develop an investment profile. During our data-gathering
process, we determine the client’s individual objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and
liquidity needs and then create and manage a portfolio based on that profile.
Brick & Kyle manages the portfolio on a discretionary basis; however, clients may impose
reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of securities, or industry
sectors.
Once the client's portfolio has been established, the account is reviewed at least quarterly
by the advisor. The frequency of review is dependent upon events which we view as having
a significant impact on the entire portfolio. Such events would generally include a
disappointing earnings report by a portfolio company or a major national or international
economic development.
Monthly asset statements denoting market values and a complete listing of all securities held
in the portfolio and confirmation statements denoting each individual transaction are provided
by our custodian, Charles Schwab, including year-end 1099’s.
Page 4
Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service and will
generally include advice regarding the following securities:
• Exchange-listed securities (I.E. NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX)
• Securities traded over the counter
• ETF’s – Exchange Traded Funds
• Corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper)
• Municipal Bonds
• Certificates of deposit
• Mutual fund shares
• United States governmental bonds
• Alternative Investments
• REITS
• Money Market Funds
Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only
be purchased when consistent with the client's stated investment objectives, tolerance for
risk, liquidity, and suitability.
FINANCIAL PLANNING
Financial planning is a comprehensive evaluation of a client’s current and future financial state
by using currently known variables to predict future cash flows, asset values and withdrawal
plans. Through the financial planning process, all questions, information, and analysis are
considered as impacting the entire financial and life situation of the client. Clients purchasing
this service receive a written report which provides a detailed financial plan designed to assist
in reaching their financial goals and objectives.
In general, the financial plan can address any or all the following areas:
Page 5
• PERSONAL: We review family records, budgeting, personal liability, estate information
and financial goals.
• TAXES: Collaborate with clients’ tax advisor or CPA and offer best option strategies to
limit or reduce tax liability on income and investments.
• CASH FLOW: Analyze the inflow and outflow of money to forecast the client’s short- and
long-term expenses against the current and future cash flow.
•
INVESTMENT: Construct and monitor a portfolio of stocks, bonds, and alternative
investments with a focus on diversification and risk management.
•
INSURANCE: Evaluate existing Life, Health, LTC, Disability and Liability policies to
ensure adequate coverage and reduce risk exposure.
• RETIREMENT: Develop a comprehensive individualized program to evaluate various
options to help the client achieve their retirement goals.
• EDUCATION PLANNING: Explore various ways to optimize savings for education
funding through 529 Plans, Coverdell ESA, Custodial Accounts (UGMA/UTMA) and
Trusts.
• ESTATE: Prepare plans to include Trusts, Wills, POD, TOD Designations, POA’s to
best protect assets from probate and taxes.
We gather required information through in-depth personal interviews. The information
gathered includes the client’s current financial status, tax status, future goals, return
objectives, and attitudes towards risk. We carefully review documents supplied by the client,
including a questionnaire completed by the client, and prepare a written report. Should the
client choose to implement the recommendations contained in the plan, we suggest the
client work closely with his/her attorney, accountant, insurance agent, and/or stockbroker.
Implementation of financial plan recommendations is entirely at the client’s discretion.
We also provide general non-securities advice on topics that may include tax and budgetary
planning, estate planning and business planning.
Typically, the financial plan is presented to the client within one month of the contract date,
provided that all information needed to prepare the financial plan has been promptly
provided.

AMOUNT OF MANAGED ASSETS
As of 12/31/2023, we were actively managing $397,730,336 of clients' assets on a
discretionary basis.
Item 5 Fees and Compensation
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT SERVICES FEES
Our fees for Portfolio Management Services are a flat 1.00% annually of the assets under
management. Brick and Kyle will negotiate fees on a per client basis. The specific annual
fee schedule is identified in the Investment Advisory Agreement between the adviser and
each client.
Our fees are billed quarterly and are payable in advance. Each billing, with some
exceptions, is 25% of the appropriate annual fee applied to the end of the quarter market
value, including cash and equivalents. Fees will be debited from the account in accordance
with the client authorization in the Client Services Agreement.
A minimum of $250,000 (with some exceptions) in assets under management is required for
this service. Brick and Kyle Associates may group certain related client accounts for the
purpose of achieving the minimum account size and determining the annual fee.
FINANCIAL PLANNING FEES
Brick and Kyle offers a Financial Planning Program, and the fee is determined based on the
nature of the services being provided and the complexity of each client’s circumstances. All
fees are agreed upon prior to entering a contract with any client and charged on an hourly
basis of $250. The length of time it will take to provide the plan depends on the client’s
personal situation; we provide an estimate at the start of the relationship.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Termination of the Advisory Relationship: A client agreement may be canceled at any time,
by either party, for any reason upon receipt of written notice. As disclosed above, certain
Page 7
fees are paid in advance of the services provided. Upon termination of any account, any
prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded. In calculating a client’s reimbursement of
fees, we will pro rate the reimbursement according to the number of days remaining in the
billing period.
All mutual funds and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) have expense fees that are charged
within the fund. They generally range from .25% to .9% on ETFs, and from .65% to 1.25%
on mutual funds using Institutional or Advisor share classes. Brick & Kyle's advisory
calculation will include the value of all mutual funds and ETFs.
Item 6 Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Brick and Kyle Associates does not accept performance-based fees.
Item 7 Types of Clients
Brick and Kyle Associates provides advisory services to the following types of clients:
•
Individuals and high net worth individuals

• Trusts
• Corporations
• Profit-sharing plans
• Estates
• Charitable Organizations
Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
METHODS OF ANALYSIS
We use the following methods of analysis in formulating our investment advice and/or
managing client assets:
• Fundamental Analysis. We attempt to measure the intrinsic value of a security by
looking at economic and financial factors (including the overall economy, industry
conditions, and the financial condition and management of the company itself) to
Page 8
determine if the company is undervalued (indicating it may be a good time to buy) or
overpriced (indicating it may be time to sell).
Fundamental analysis does not attempt to anticipate market movements. This
presents a potential risk, as the price of a security can move up or down along with
the overall market regardless of the economic and financial factors considered in
evaluating the stock.
• Technical Analysis. We analyze past market movements and apply that analysis to
the present to recognize recurring chart patterns of investor behavior and potentially
predict future price movement. In this type of technical analysis, we review charts of
market and security activity to identify when the market is moving up or down and to
predict how long the trend may last and when that trend might reverse
Technical analysis does not consider the underlying financial condition of a company.
This presents a risk in that a poorly managed or financially unsound company may
underperform regardless of market movement.
• Cyclical Analysis. In this type of technical analysis, we measure the movements of a
particular stock against the overall market to predict the price movement of the
security.
• Asset Allocation. Rather than focusing primarily on securities selection, we attempt to
identify an appropriate ratio of securities, fixed income, and cash suitable to the client’s
investment goals and risk tolerance. This is based on an analysis of the client’s
investment profile and risk tolerance.
A risk of asset allocation is that the client may not participate in sharp increases in a
particular security, industry, or market sector. Another risk is that the ratio of securities, fixed
income, and cash will change over time due to stock and market movements and, if not
corrected, will no longer be appropriate for the client’s goals.
Risks for all forms of analysis. Our securities analysis methods rely on the assumption
that the companies whose securities we purchase and sell, the rating agencies that review
these securities, and other publicly available sources of information about these securities,
are providing accurate and unbiased data. While we are alert to indications that data may be
incorrect, there is always a risk that our analysis may be compromised by inaccurate or
misleading information.
Page 9
Personal interviews with the client along with the information provided help determine our
analysis and strategy as well. We refer to Value Line, Morningstar, The Wall Street Journal,
Barron’s, Investor’s Business Daily, Kiplinger’s and independent research materials provided
by our custodian (Charles Schwab) for information and investment analysis.
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
We use the following strategy(ies) in managing client accounts, provided that such
strategy(ies) are/is 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. We purchase securities with the idea of holding them in the client's
account for a year or longer. Typically, we employ this strategy when:
• We believe the securities to be currently undervalued, and/or
• We want exposure to a particular asset class over time, regardless of the current
projection for this class.
A risk in a long-term purchase strategy is that by holding the security for this length of time,
we may not take advantage of short-term gains that could be profitable to a client. Moreover,
if our predictions are incorrect, a security may decline sharply in value before we make the
decision to sell.
Short-term purchases. When utilizing this strategy, we purchase securities with the idea of
selling them within a relatively short time (typically a year or less). We do this to take
advantage of conditions that we believe will soon result in a price swing in the securities we
purchase.
Item 9 Disciplinary Information
We are required to disclose any legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client's or
prospective client's evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our management.
Our firm and our management personnel have no reportable disciplinary events to disclose.
Page 10
Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Brick and Kyle Associates always endeavors to put the interest of its clients first as part of
our fiduciary duty as a registered investment adviser. We take the following steps to address
any potential conflicts:
• We disclose to clients that they are not obligated to purchase recommended investments
from our employees.
• We collect, maintain and document accurate, complete, and relevant client background
information, including the client’s financial goals, objectives, and risk tolerance.
• Our firm's management conducts regular reviews of each client account to verify that all
recommendations made to a client are suitable for the client’s needs and circumstances.
• We require that our employees seek prior approval of any outside employment activity so
that we may ensure that any conflicts of interest in such activities are properly
addressed.
• We educate our employees regarding the responsibilities of a fiduciary, including the
need to have a reasonable and independent basis for the investment advice provided to
clients.
Item 11 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
Our firm has adopted a Code of Ethics which sets forth high ethical standards of business
conduct that we require of our employees, including compliance with applicable federal
securities laws.
Brick and Kyle Associates and our personnel owe a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith
towards our clients, and have an obligation to adhere not only to the specific provisions of
the Code of Ethics but to the general principles that guide the Code.
Our Code of Ethics includes policies and procedures for the review of quarterly securities
transactions reports as well as initial and annual securities holdings reports that must be
submitted by the firm’s access persons. Among other things, our Code of Ethics also
requires prior approval of any acquisition of securities in a limited offering (e.g., private
placement) or an initial public offering. Our code also provides for oversight, enforcement,
and recordkeeping provisions.
Page 11
Brick and Kyle Associates' Code of Ethics further includes the firm's policy prohibiting the
use of material non-public information. While we do not believe that we have any access to
non-public information, all employees are reminded that such information may not be used
in a personal or professional capacity.
A copy of our Code of Ethics is available to our advisory clients and prospective clients. You
may request a copy by calling us at 215-493-8787.
Our Code of Ethics is designed to ensure that the personal securities transactions, activities,
and interests of our employees will not interfere with (I) making decisions in the best interest
of advisory clients and (II) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing
employees to invest for their own accounts.
Our firm and/or individuals associated with our firm may buy or sell for their personal
account’s securities identical to or different from those recommended to our clients. In
addition, any related person(s) may have an interest or position in a certain security(ies)
which may also be recommended to a client.
It is the expressed policy of our firm that no person employed by us may purchase or sell
any security prior to a transaction(s) being implemented for an advisory account, thereby
preventing such employee(s) from benefiting from transactions placed on behalf of advisory
accounts.
We will aggregate our employee trades with client transactions whenever possible. In these
instances, participating clients will receive an average share price. In instances where there is a
partial filling of a particular batched order, we will allocate all purchases pro-rata, with each
account paying the average price. Our employee accounts will be included in the pro-rata
allocation.
As these situations represent actual or potential conflicts of interest to our clients, we have
established the following policies and procedures for implementing our firm’s Code of Ethics, to
ensure our firm complies with its regulatory obligations and provides our clients and potential
clients with full and fair disclosure of such conflicts of interest:
1. No principal or employee of our firm may put his or her own interest above the interest of
an advisory client.
2. No principal or employee of our firm may buy or sell securities for their personal
portfolio(s) where their decision is a result of information received because of his or her
employment unless the information is also available to the investing public.
3. It is the expressed policy of our firm that no person employed by us may purchase or sell
any security prior to a transaction(s) being implemented for an advisory account. This
prevents such employees from benefiting from transactions placed on behalf of advisory
accounts.
Page 12
4. Our firm requires prior approval for any IPO or private placement investments by related
people in the firm.
5. We maintain a list of all reportable securities holdings for our firm, and anyone
associated with this advisory practice has access to advisory recommendations ("access
person"). These holdings are reviewed on a regular basis by our firm's Chief Compliance
Officer or his/her designee.
6. We have established procedures for the maintenance of all required books and records.
7. Brick & Kyle does not have any limitations regarding the type of securities to be bought
or sold or the amount of securities to be bought or sold. If a client wishes to place
restrictions on his/her account as to the type or number of securities to be bought or sold,
that request must be written and included with the signed investment advisory agreement
upon establishment of the account.
8. All of our principals and employees must act in accordance with all applicable Federal
and State regulations governing registered investment advisory practices.
9. We require delivery and acknowledgement of the Code of Ethics by each supervised
person of our firm.
10. We have established policies requiring the reporting of Code of Ethics violations to our
senior management.
11. Any individual who violates any of the above restrictions may be subject to possible
actions which may include enhanced supervision, censure, suspension, or termination.
Item 12 Brokerage Practices
Brick and Kyle Associates will execute block trades where possible and when advantageous
to clients. This permits the trading of aggregate blocks of securities composed of assets
from multiple client accounts.
Block trading may allow us to execute equity trades in a timelier, more equitable manner, at
an average share price. Brick and Kyle Associates' block trading policy and procedures are
as follows:
1. Transactions for any client account may not be aggregated for execution if the practice is
prohibited or inconsistent with the client's advisory agreement with Brick and Kyle
Associates, or our firm's order allocation policy.
Page 13
2. The trading desk in concert with the portfolio manager must determine that the purchase
or sale of the particular security involved is appropriate for the client and consistent with the
client's investment objectives and with any investment guidelines or restrictions applicable to
the client's account.
3. The portfolio manager must reasonably believe that the order aggregation will benefit
and will enable Brick and Kyle Associates to seek best execution for each client participating
in the aggregated order. This requires good faith judgment at the time the order is placed for
the execution. It does not mean that the determination made in advance of the transaction
must always prove to have been correct in the light of a "20-20 hindsight" perspective. Best
execution includes the duty to seek the best quality of execution, as well as the best net
price.
4. Prior to entry of an aggregated order, an order allocation must be completed which
identifies each client account participating in the order and the proposed allocation of the
order, upon completion, to those clients.
5. If the order cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities purchased
or sold by the close of each business day must be allocated pro rata among the participating
client accounts in accordance with the initial written statement of allocation. However,
adjustments to this pro rata allocation may be made to participating client accounts in
accordance with the initial written statement of allocation. Furthermore, adjustments to this
pro rata allocation may be made to avoid having odd amounts of shares held in any client
account.
6. Generally, each client that participates in the aggregated order must do so at the
average price for all separate transactions made to fill the order.
7. If the order is allocated in a manner other than that stated in the initial statement of
allocation, a written explanation of the change must be provided to and approved by the
Chief Compliance Officer no later than the morning following the execution of the aggregate
trade.
8. Brick and Kyle Associate's client account records separately reflect, for each account in
which the aggregated transaction occurred, the securities which are held by, and bought and
sold for, that account.
9. Funds and securities for aggregated orders are clearly identified on Brick and Kyle
Associate's records and to the broker-dealers or other intermediaries handling the
transactions, by the appropriate account numbers for each participating client.
10. No client or account will be favored over another.
Page 14
Notes: Employees participating in the block trade will never get a higher price when selling,
or a lower price, when buying, than the client. All trades are cross-checked the following day
to ensure proper execution. If a client did receive a different price than another client, the
problem would be corrected to give each client the average price.
Brokerage and Best Execution Summary:
All Investment Advisory trades will be placed through Charles Schwab and Co. as custodian
unless otherwise directed. Brick & Kyle has no soft dollar arrangements. Soft dollar
arrangements include research, products, and client referrals. These arrangements could
cause a conflict of interest; thus Brick & Kyle chooses not to engage in any such practice.
Brick & Kyle has a fiduciary duty to monitor brokerage services through Charles Schwab.
To accomplish this, Brick & Kyle meets every quarter to evaluate trading through Charles
Schwab. Several other procedures have been adopted to ensure the best execution.
These include cross-checking every trade, keeping a random blotter of executed time
stamped trades with a corresponding day chart of the security, and logging Charles
Schwab’s responsiveness to issues such as trade errors and other problems.
Item 13 Review of Accounts
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT SERVICES
REVIEWS: While the underlying securities within Individual Portfolio Management Services
accounts are continually monitored, these accounts are reviewed quarterly. Accounts are
reviewed in the context of each client's stated investment objectives and guidelines. More
frequent reviews may be triggered by material changes in variables such as the client's
individual circumstances, or the market, political or economic environment.
Reviews are conducted by: Edgar Brick (Chairman), Andrew Brick (President & CEO), Betty
Brick (Executive Vice President), and James Lewers (Senior Vice President).
REPORTS: Clients will receive statements from the custodian, Charles Schwab, reporting
transactions occurring in the account on at least a quarterly basis. Clients will also receive
trade information on all buys and sells. The statements will be written or electronic
depending on the client’s selection.
Page 15
FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES
REVIEWS: While reviews may occur at different stages depending on the nature and terms
of the specific engagement, typically no formal reviews will be conducted for Financial
Planning clients unless otherwise contracted.
REPORTS: Financial Planning clients will receive a completed financial plan. Additional
reports will not typically be provided unless otherwise contracted.
Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation
It is Brick and Kyle Associates' policy not to engage solicitors or to pay related or non-
related people for referring potential clients to our firm.
It is Brick and Kyle Associates' policy not to accept or allow our related people to accept any
form of compensation, including cash, sales awards, or other prizes, from a non-client in
conjunction with the advisory services we provide for our clients.
Item 15 Custody
Our firm does not have actual or constructive custody of client accounts as all assets are
held at Charles Schwab & Co. who provide account statements directly to the client at their
address of record or electronically at least quarterly. Clients receive security trade
confirms, consolidated year end statements and tax related forms as applicable. Certain
clients have established asset transfer authorizations which permit Charles Schwab to rely
upon instructions from the client to transfer funds or securities to first and third parties.
These arrangements are in accordance with the guidance provided in the SEC’s investment
advisor’s associate no-action letter and are subject to an annual surprise inspection.
The Investment Advisory Agreement authorizes Brick & Kyle to debit client accounts for
quarterly management fees in accordance with current SEC custody rules. Clients should
review their account statements and verify the fee debited is correct.
Item 16 Investment Discretion
Clients engage us to provide discretionary asset management services, in which case we
place trades in a client's account without contacting the client prior to each trade to obtain
Page 16
the client's permission. Our discretionary authority includes the ability to do the following
without contacting the client:
• Determine the security to buy or sell; and/or
• Determine the amount of the security to buy or sell
Clients give us discretionary authority when they sign an Investment Advisory Agreement
with our firm and may limit this authority by giving us written instructions. Clients may also
change/amend such limitations by once again providing us with written instructions.
Item 17 Voting Client Securities
We do not and will not accept the proxy authority to vote client securities. As part of account
opening, all clients are directed to receive proxies or solicitations directly from Charles Schwab
or a transfer agent. However, clients may contact us directly to discuss questions they have
about proxy votes or other solicitations.
Item 18 Financial Information
Under no circumstances do we require or solicit payment of fees more than $1200 per client
more than six months in advance of services rendered. Therefore, we are not required to
include a financial statement.
As an advisory firm that maintains discretionary authority for client accounts, we are also
required to disclose any financial condition that is reasonable likely to impair our ability
to meet our contractual obligations.
Brick & Kyle has no financial commitment that would impair our ability to meet contractual
and fiduciary commitments and has not been subject to bankruptcy proceedings at any time
during the past thirty years.
