Item 4 – Advisory Business
Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. provides investment advisory, financial planning, and insurance
services and has been in business since 1972. David N. Waldrop, CFP® is the principal owner of
the firm.
We provide discretionary and nondiscretionary management of clients' mutual funds, stocks,
bonds and other listed equity investments. Clients using this service will be provided with a
review of their accounts for no additional charge at least once per year. Management of client
funds will be consistent with client's overall investment goals and risk tolerance.
Financial planning services are also available. Financial Planning clients will be required to sign a
Financial Planning Engagement that includes the services to be provided. These services include:
1) Financial statement preparation and analysis, 2) Investment planning, and 3) Tax planning.
Advisory services are tailored to the individual needs of each client. Clients may impose
restrictions on investing in certain types of securities.
As of May 2026, our firm manages $114,131,548 in client assets, of which $26,446,898 is managed
on a discretionary basis, and $87,684,650 is managed on a non-discretionary basis. In addition,
the firm has approximately $6.3 million in assets under advisement.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Fees for investment advisory services are billed, in advance of services, and based on a of total of
assets under management (see Asset Management Fees below for fee schedule). Investment
advisory services may be terminated by either party giving to the other written notice. A custodial
account transferred to another firm and/or liquidated to a zero or de minimis balance can be
considered a terminated agreement. Advisory fees on terminated accounts will be refunded on a
pro-rata basis according to our de minimis capital contribution and withdrawal amounts
reference in the next section. Refunds less than $10.00 will not be paid.
Accounts are typically held at Schwab Institutional. However, we may use other custodial firms
with whom the Corporation deems prudent and cost effective to all concerned.
Third Party Managed Accounts
The Corporation may offer the services of third party money managers depending upon the
services the client requires. Third party money managers may charge their fee quarterly in
advance, or in arrears. Methods of compensation will be disclosed in each particular third party
money manager's agreement. The third party money managers will pay a portion of the fees to
1
the Corporation. The client will receive monthly statements from the custodian indicating
holdings. A quarterly report, indicating market value, cash flows, gains and losses, asset allocation
and performance, as it relates to market indices, is also available.
The specific manner in which fees are charged by Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. is established
in a client’s written agreement with Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc.
Asset Management Fees
Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. will generally bill its fees and directly debit fees from client
accounts on a quarterly basis. Under some circumstances, clients may be invoiced for the payment
of asset management fees. Management fees shall be prorated for each capital contribution and
withdrawal made during the applicable calendar quarter (with the exception of de minimis
contributions and withdrawals). Contributions and withdrawals less than $10,000 will not be
subject to proration. Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be charged a
prorated fee. Upon termination of any account, any prepaid, unearned fees will be as refunded
soon as administratively feasible (usually at the next billing cycle), and any earned, unpaid fees
will be due and payable. Advisory fees on terminated accounts will be refunded on a pro-rata basis
according to our de minimis capital contribution and withdrawal amounts stated above. Refunds
less than $10.00 will not be paid.
The fee schedule designates the fees payable at each asset level and are combined based on the
total account value. For example, a client with $300,000 under management will pay an annual fee
of 1.50% on the first $250,000 and 1.0% on the next $50,000.
Management Fees (Assets in $) Annual Fee (Billed Quarterly)
$0 to $250,000
1.5%
$250,001 to $500,000
1.0%
$500,001-to $2,000,000
0.75%
$2,000,001 to $5,000,000
0.50%
$5,000,001 AND UP
Negotiable
The custodian is not responsible for the calculation of the fee. It is the clients’ responsibility to
verify the accuracy of the fee calculation. If there is insufficient cash in an account to pay the fee,
securities will be sold in an amount equal to the fee. When working with 3rd party managers, fees
will be based upon the manager’s fee schedule.

Financial Planning and Hourly Consulting Fees
Financial Planning clients will be billed at an hourly rate of $350 per hour and will be provided the
amount of hours and total fee in the Advisory Agreement. There is a minimum fee of $700 for
Financial Planning Services. Once a total fee is agreed upon, Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. will
invoice the client for ½ of the total billable hours before the start of the assignment. The
remaining fees will be due upon completion of the project. If the client is an existing Investment
Advisory client, the company may, at its discretion, waive or reduce fees for Financial Planning
Services.
Under certain circumstances, Asset Management, Financial Planning, & Hourly Consulting fees
may be negotiated. Comparable services may be available from other sources at a lower cost.
Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc.’s fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees,
and other related costs and expenses which shall be incurred by the client. Clients may incur
certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, third party investment and other third parties
such as fees charged by managers, custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials,
transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage
accounts and securities transactions. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal
management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. Such charges, fees and commissions
are exclusive of and in addition to Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc.’s fee, and Bridgeview Capital
Advisors, Inc. shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Item 12 further describes the factors that Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. considers in selecting
or recommending broker-dealers for client transactions and determining the reasonableness of
their compensation (e.g., commissions).
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. does not charge performance-based fees (fees based on a share
of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client).
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. provides portfolio management services to individuals, high net
worth individuals, corporate pension, and profit-sharing plans.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. will typically use fundamental and technical methods of security
analysis. Most investment strategies involve long term purchases (securities held at least a year)
3
and sometimes involve short term purchases (securities sold within a year). Most portfolios are
managed with broad asset allocation using mutual funds with rebalancing as necessary. The main
sources of information used to provide investment advice are research prepared by others,
financial newspapers and magazines, and corporate rating services. It is important to note that
investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc.
or the integrity of Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc.’s management. Bridgeview Capital Advisors,

Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
The Corporation provides Financial Planning services to clients. David N. Waldrop is a Certified
Financial Planner (CFP).
Item 11 – Code of Ethics
Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. has adopted a Code of Ethics and it is available to any client or
prospective client by request. It is also available on our web site www.bridgeviewadvisors.com
Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. has adopted a Code of Ethics for all supervised persons of the
firm describing its high standard of business conduct, and fiduciary duty to its clients. It is
available to any client or prospective client by request. It is also available on our web site
www.bridgeviewadvisors.com. The Code of Ethics includes provisions relating to the
confidentiality of client information, a prohibition on insider trading, a prohibition of rumor
mongering, restrictions on the acceptance of significant gifts and the reporting of certain gifts and
business entertainment items, and personal securities trading procedures, among other things. All
supervised persons at Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. must acknowledge the terms of the Code
of Ethics annually, or as amended.
Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with
clients’ investment objectives, it will cause accounts over which Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc.
has management authority to effect, and will recommend to investment advisory clients or
prospective clients, the purchase or sale of securities in which Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc.,
its affiliates and/or clients, directly or indirectly, have a position of interest. Bridgeview Capital
Advisors, Inc.’s employees and persons associated with Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. are
4
required to follow Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc.’s Code of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this
policy and applicable laws, officers, directors and employees of Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc.
and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in securities which are recommended to and/or
purchased for Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc.’s clients. The Code of Ethics is designed to assure
that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees of Bridgeview
Capital Advisors, Inc. will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory
clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest
for their own accounts. Under the Code certain classes of securities have been designated as
exempt transactions, based upon a determination that these would materially not interfere with
the best interest of Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc.’s clients. In addition, the Code requires pre-
clearance of many 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, and to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between Bridgeview
Capital Advisors, Inc. and its clients.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. recommends but does not require clients establish investment
accounts with Charles Schwab & Co. Schwab provides low-cost brokerage services for our clients.
Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. is not compensated by Schwab.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Reviews are conducted on both an annual and quarterly basis. All reviews are done by David
Waldrop, President. Quarterly account reviews are done at the discretion of the client and can be
done over the phone. At least annually, Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. will request that clients
complete a “Client Update” to indicate whether their investment goals, risk tolerance, etc. has
changed.
Mid-quarter reviews will be triggered if something unexpected or detrimental to the client's
account occurs before the quarterly review and Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. must work with
the client to correct the situation. Also, mid-quarter reviews will be triggered by the client if they
call and notify us that their investment goals, risk tolerance, etc. has changed to such a degree that
their portfolio requires adjustment.
5
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. does not currently pay referral fees to other financial
professionals such as CPA's, EA's, brokers, agents and attorneys. If Bridgeview Capital Advisors,
Inc. should decide in the future to pay referral fees, any referral fee paid to the aforementioned
parties will not impact client fees. The Corporation uses the same fee schedule for all clients and
the payment of referral fees does not create extra fees for the client.
Item 15 – Custody
Clients should receive at least quarterly statements from the broker dealer, bank or other
qualified custodian that holds and maintains client’s investment assets. Bridgeview Capital
Advisors, Inc. urges you to carefully review such statements and compare such official custodial
records to the account statements that we may provide to you. Our statements may vary from
custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation
methodologies of certain securities.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
The firm provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisory services to clients.
The Investment Advisory Contract established with each client outlines the discretionary
authority for trading. When granted, the firm accepts discretionary authority to manage securities
accounts on behalf of clients. Discretionary authority allows us to determine the securities to be
bought or sold and the amount of securities to be purchased or sold for a client’s account without
obtaining prior client consent for each transaction. Clients grant discretionary authority through
the execution of our investment advisory agreement or addendum to the advisory agreement.
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on the management of their accounts, such as
prohibiting investment in certain securities or sectors.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
As a matter of firm policy and practice, Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. does not have any
authority to and does not vote proxies on behalf of advisory clients. Clients retain the
responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for any and all securities maintained in client
portfolios. Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. may provide advice to clients regarding the clients’
voting of proxies.

Item 18 – Financial Information
A. Balance Sheet
The firm neither requires nor solicits prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six
months or more in advance and therefore does not need to include a balance sheet with this
brochure.
B. Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Ability to Meet Contractual
Commitments to Clients
Registered investment advisers are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial
information or disclosures about Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc.’s financial condition.
Bridgeview Capital Advisors, Inc. has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet
contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients, and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy
proceeding.
