Item 4 Advisory Business
Advisory Business
Robinswood Financial LLC is a registered investment advisor (RIA) firm based in Kirkland, Washington
and has been in business since February 2007. Edward L. Ward is the principal owner.
Investment Advisory Services:
Robinswood Financial provides investment management services on a fee only basis. Robinswood’s
investment advisory services encompass a wide range of investment objectives, from conservative to
aggressive, which gives the client and the advisor the flexibility to design a custom program and asset
allocation that meets the client's specific needs. Each investment program is continuously managed based
on the program's strategy. However, clients have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the
types of investments to be held in their accounts.
We begin by gathering information from you to clearly define your individual financial objectives and
your tolerance to risk. From this information our financial advisors carefully select investments to
provide individually managed portfolios tailored to meet each client’s unique needs. Our objective is to
deliver higher returns for our clients while providing maximum risk protection.
When you open your new Schwab account to be managed by Robinswood Financial or name us as the
advisor on a current Schwab account, we consult with you before making any initial investments. As part
of ongoing monitoring, however, we will ask for limited trading authorization so we do not need to call
you each time we need to make a trade, as long as the actions adhere to the investment plan we have
developed with you.
Robinswood’s investment programs comply with the following requirements:
1. Initial Interview - at the opening of the account, Robinswood, through its designated representatives,
shall obtain from the client information sufficient to determine the client's financial situation and
investment objectives;
2. Individual Treatment - the client's account is managed on the basis of the client's financial situation
and investment objectives;
3. Quarterly Notice - at least quarterly, Robinswood notifies clients that they need to notify Robinswood
if their financial situation or investment objectives have changed, or if they want to impose and/or modify
any reasonable restrictions on the management of their accounts;
4. Annual Contact - at least annually, Robinswood contacts clients to determine whether their financial
situation or investment objectives have changed, or if they want to impose and/or modify any reasonable
restrictions on the management of their accounts;
5. Consultation Available - Robinswood is reasonably available to consult with clients regarding the
status of their accounts.
4
Types of Investments:
At the core of our investment strategy, Robinswood primarily uses institutional index and asset-class
Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) for their superior historic long-term performance as compared to actively
managed funds. These include U.S. and international equity (stock) funds that include different
combinations of the major asset classes designed to limit your risk exposure through proper
diversification.
An asset class is a group of securities that have similar characteristics, have behaved similarly under
certain market conditions, are bound by the same laws and regulations, and reflect different risks and
returns. The three main asset classes used by Robinswood Financial are domestic equities (stocks),
international equities (stocks), and fixed-income (bonds).
ETF funds within an asset class can be further subdivided into fund categories. Fund categories provide a
way of differentiating mutual funds by their features, content, and objectives, as well as their
characteristics for risk and return. Having representation from different fund categories allows for further
diversification.
Depending on your risk tolerance, financial goals, and time horizon, your Robinswood Financial advisor
shapes your portfolio to consist of a mix of securities from the following categories:
U.S. large-cap growth
U.S. large-cap value
U.S. mid-cap growth
U.S. mid-cap value
U.S. small-cap growth
U.S. small-cap value
U.S. real estate
U.S. Asset Classes
International Asset Classess
International large-cap growth
International large-cap value
International mid-cap growth
International mid-cap value
International small-cap growth
International small-cap value
Emerging markets
Bond Classes
Global high-grade bond funds
Global high-yield bond funds
Global short-term bond funds
Global intermediate-term bond funds
Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA, or "Ginnie Mae") funds
Emerging market debt
5
Robinswood Financial is a advisor with approved access to Dimensional funds (DFA). Robinswood also
makes use of Vanguard funds and selected Exchange Traded Funds
(ETF's).
A typical portfolio will have 10-16 carefully selected investments. The goals of our investment strategy
are superior portfolio construction, diversification, low costs, disciplined rebalancing, competitive
returns, and protection of principal. The portfolios are managed to adapt to changing economic
conditions, tax considerations, cash-flow needs, and personal situations. Clients wishing to impose
restrictions upon their portfolios and its holdings must do so in writing to Robinswood Financial.
Assets Under Management:
As of July1, 2026 Robinswood manages approximately $453,000,000 in total client assets on a
discretionary basis.

Item 5
Fees and Compensation
Fees and Compensation
Instead of accepting commissions, referral fees, or other such compensation, Robinswood Financial charges a yearly portfolio
management fee based on the size of your account. Management fees incurred are deducted from the clients assets at the end of
each quarter.
0.1%.
Client Assets Under Management - Robinswood Financial charges an investment management fee based on a percentage of the
market value of the client's assets managed by Robinswood at the end of each calendar quarter. Fees are payable quarterly, in
arrears, at the following annual rates: All Accounts are billed at 0.75% on the first $1 million, and then 0.2% on account values up
to $5 million. V alues greater than $5 million are billed at
Minimum Managed household account (or combination of accounts) is $250,000. Minimum account requirements may be waived
at the discretion of Robinswood Financial.
The blended annual fee: at $10 million is approximately 0.2%, at $20 million is 0.15%, at $30 million 0.1%. When you open your
Schwab account, your first fees are prorated based on the day Robinswood Financial portfolio management agreement is
executed. If f unds are deposited into or withdrawn from your Schwab account during the quarter, the fees may be prorated
accordingly.
Being compensated by this predetermined client fee rather than by commissions ensures that the advice you receive from us is
unbiased and independent. Our fees increase only if your investments grow; there fore our interests a re closely aligned with yours.
We focus on your financial objectives and your future, and our only motivation is your best interest.
Additional Fees and Expenses
The fees that you pay to our firm for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees
and expenses charged by ETFs and mutual funds (described in each fund’s prospectus) to their shareholders. You
may incur transaction and/or brokerage fees when we purchase or sell index funds or other securities in
your account. You may also pay other custodial fees. Please refer to your account agreement with
Charles Schwab & Co. We do not share in any fees charged by the broker-dealer or custodian. To fully
understand the total cost you will incur, you should review all the fees charged by all parties, including,
but not necessarily limited to, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, our firm and the custodian (Charles
Schwab & Co.). No part of the third‐party fees and costs described above is received by Robinswood or
any of its employees.

Item 6
Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Performance Based Fees and Side By Side Management
We do not accept performance-based fees or participate in side-by-side management. Side-by-side
management refers to the practice of managing accounts that are charged performance-based fees while
at the same time managing accounts that are not charged performance-based fees. Performance-based
fees are fees that are based on a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of a client’s account. Our
fees are calculated as described in the “Fees and Compensation” section above, and are not charged on
the basis of a share of capital gains upon, or capital appreciation of, the funds in your advisory account.

Item 7
Types of Clients
Types of Clients
In general, Robinswood Financial clients have the following characteristics:
They have a long-term focus, and know that it takes time to reach their financial goals and
objectives.
They understand the nature of the financial markets as well as the characteristics of the different
asset classes.
They tend to be savers rather than spenders.
They have decided to turn over the day-to-day control of their portfolios to professionals.
The majority of our clients are individual investors for whom we manage taxable, IRA, and 401(k)
money. We help such clients develop long-term plans for their assets, transition from their working lives
into retirement, and manage their wealth. We also manage investment portfolios for trusts, charitable
organizations and businesses. Our current account minimum is $250,000 per household account (or
combination of accounts) in cash or marketable securities. This minimum account requirement may be
waived for individuals related to or referred by current clients.

Item 8
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
Robinswood's primary investment strategy is a globally diversified, long-term asset allocation approach designed to
provide clients with a core investment portfolio that seeks long-term capital appreciation while managing overall
portfolio risk through diversification. The strategy is intended for investors with varying risk tolerances and investment
objectives and is generally not based on market timing, frequent trading, or security selection.
The Adviser utilizes research based on principles developed through academic and financial research, including
Modern Portfolio Theory and research regarding asset allocation, diversification, market efficiency, and long-term
investing. The Adviser considers factors including a client's investment objectives, time horizon, liquidity needs, tax
circumstances, and risk tolerance when recommending an appropriate asset allocation.
Client portfolios are typically constructed using low-cost, broadly diversified exchange-traded funds
("ETFs") and, when appropriate, mutual funds. These investments provide exposure to multiple domestic and
international asset classes, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
U.S. large-, mid-, and small-cap equities;
Growth and value equity strategies;
Real estate securities (REITs);
Developed international equity markets;
Emerging markets;
U.S. fixed income securities;
Government and mortgage-backed securities (including GNMA funds); and
International and emerging market fixed income securities.
The Adviser generally follows a long-term buy-and-hold investment philosophy. Portfolios are periodically monitored
and rebalanced to maintain the client's target asset allocation. Because the Adviser does not generally employ frequent
trading strategies, clients typically incur lower transaction costs than may be associated with more active investment
strategies. However, periodic rebalancing and client-directed changes may result in transaction costs and, in taxable
accounts, realization of capital gains or losses.
Material Risks of the Adviser's Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. The Adviser's investment strategies
and recommendations cannot eliminate the risk of investment losses, and there is no guarantee that any investment
objective will be achieved.
Material risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Market Risk. Securities markets may decline due to economic conditions, inflation, interest rate changes, geopolitical
events, natural disasters, public health events, government actions, or changes in investor sentiment. Market declines
may affect all asset classes simultaneously.
Asset Allocation Risk. The Adviser's asset allocation decisions are based on long-term assumptions regarding
expected returns and risk. There is no guarantee that a particular asset allocation or diversification strategy will
outperform other investment strategies or prevent losses.
Equity Market Risk. Investments in stocks and equity ETFs are subject to fluctuations in market value. Stock prices
may decline because of company-specific events, industry developments, or overall market conditions.
Item 8 continued
Small- and Mid-Capitalization Company Risk. Securities of smaller companies may be more volatile, less liquid,
and subject to greater price fluctuations than securities of larger, more established companies.
Value and Growth Investing Risk. Value-oriented investments may remain undervalued for extended periods or never
realize their perceived value. Growth-oriented investments may be more sensitive to changes in investor expectations
and may experience greater price volatility.
International Investing Risk. Investments in foreign securities involve risks not typically associated with U.S.
investments, including political and economic instability, differing accounting standards, changes in regulatory
environments, reduced market liquidity, and currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in emerging market countries generally involve greater risks than investments in
developed markets, including greater political instability, less developed legal systems, lower liquidity, increased
volatility, and greater currency risk.
Fixed Income Risk. Bond investments are subject to interest rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, and
inflation risk. Bond prices generally decline when interest rates rise.
Interest Rate Risk. Rising interest rates generally cause the value of existing fixed income securities to decline.
Longer-duration bonds typically experience greater price volatility than shorter-duration bonds.
Credit Risk. Issuers of bonds or other debt securities may fail to make timely interest or principal payments, which
may reduce the value of fixed income investments.
Real Estate Risk. Investments in real estate securities and REITs are subject to risks associated with the real estate
industry, including changes in property values, rental income, interest rates, property taxes, environmental liabilities,
and economic conditions.
ETF and Mutual Fund Risk. ETFs and mutual funds are subject to the risks of their underlying investments. ETF
shares may trade at prices above or below their net asset value and may be affected by market liquidity. Clients also
indirectly bear the operating expenses of the funds in which they invest.
Currency Risk. Foreign investments may be affected by changes in currency exchange rates, which may either
increase or decrease investment returns.
Inflation Risk. Inflation may reduce purchasing power and diminish the real value of investment returns over time.
Liquidity Risk. Certain securities or market segments may become difficult to buy or sell at desirable prices during
periods of market stress, potentially affecting portfolio performance.
Tax Risk. Although the Adviser seeks to manage taxable accounts in a tax-efficient manner when appropriate,
investment decisions may result in taxable gains or losses. Tax laws and regulations may change, and clients should
consult their tax advisers regarding their individual circumstances.
Risk of Loss All investments involve varying degrees of risk, and clients should be prepared to bear the risk of loss,
including the possible loss of principal. Past performance is not indicative of future results. There is no assurance that
any investment strategy, asset allocation, or diversification approach will achieve its ntended objectives or protect
against losses during periods of declining markets. Robinswood does not guarantee the future performance of any
investment, the success of any investment strategy, or that clients' financial goals or objectives will be achieved. The
Adviser works with clients to develop investment strategies that are consistent with their financial circumstances,
investment objectives, time horizon, and tolerance for risk; however, no investment strategy can eliminate market risk
or guarantee positive returns.

Item 11 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Item 12 Brokerage Practices
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethics designed to prevent and detect violations of securities rules by our
employees and affiliated persons. Our controls in this area focus upon securities transactions made by
our employees that have access to material information about the trading of Robinswood. The code of
ethics is posted on our website (https://robinswoodfinancial.com/about/code-of-ethics/). Additionally we
will provide a copy of our code of ethics to clients or prospective clients upon request.
Brokerage Practices
The Adviser requires that clients maintain brokerage accounts and execute transactions through Charles
Schwab & Co., Inc.
Not all investment advisers require or recommend that clients direct brokerage to a particular broker-
dealer. By directing brokerage to Schwab, clients may be unable to achieve the most favorable
execution of their transactions. In addition, directing brokerage may cost clients more money than if the
Adviser were able to select broker-dealers based solely on obtaining the best execution for each
transaction.

Item 12
Brokerage Practices (continued)
Brokerage Practices
Robinswood Financial never takes title of your assets. Instead, your assets are held by an independent
custodian to keep your assets safe. We use the services of Charles Schwab & Co.
If you're investing cash, you'll write one or more checks to the custodians: Charles Schwab & Co. or the
Schwab Trust Company.
Through the custodian you will have access to your portfolio at all times. You will receive statements
directly from your custodian, and you will receive performance reports from us.
Limited Trading Authorization
Robinswood Financial is not a broker/dealer and is not the custodian on your account. Robinswood does
not hold any cash or securities for any of our clients. Instead, all assets and cash are held by Charles
Schwab & Co., an outside broker/dealer, or at the affiliated trust company Schwab Trust Company with
insurance coverage provided by them. The cash transactions are between you and the custodian.
Regarding losses due to unauthorized activity, yes, your account is guaranteed. We want you to have the
highest level of confidence, which is one reason we have chosen Charles Schwab as your custodian.
Schwab covers 100 percent of any losses in any of your Schwab accounts due to unauthorized activity.
Charles Schwab is insured by Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which provides a safety
net for investors in case a custodian goes out of business. To the extent that SIPC cannot recover securities
owed to a client, funds from the SIPC reserve are available to satisfy the remaining claims up to a
maximum of $500,000 per "client capacity" (for example, sole owner, custodian, or joint tenant). This
figure includes a maximum of $100,000 on claims for cash. Additional recovered funds are used to pay
investors whose claims exceed SIPC's protection limit of $500,000.
Additional account protection is provided through underwriters at Lloyd’s of London. Under the policy
secured with underwriters at Lloyd’s, the additional protection of securities and cash is provided up to an
aggregate of $600 million, limited to a combined return to any customer from a trustee, SIPC, and
Lloyd’s of $150 million, including cash of up to $900,000 by the Lloyd’s policy.
Selection and Evaluation of Broker-Dealers and Custodians
In recommending or selecting a broker-dealer or custodian for client accounts, the Firm considers a
variety of qualitative and quantitative factors designed to serve clients' best interests. These factors
may include, but are not limited to:
• Financial stability, reputation, and regulatory history of the broker-dealer or custodian;
• Quality, responsiveness, and availability of client service and operational support;
• Execution capabilities, including the ability to obtain best execution for client transactions;
• Breadth and quality of investment products and services available;
• Technology, cybersecurity, trading platforms, and account reporting capabilities;
• Accuracy and timeliness of trade execution, confirmations, and account statements;
• Custody and safeguarding of client assets, including insurance protections such as SIPC
coverage and any excess insurance maintained by the custodian;
14
As a general matter, we do not aggregate (or "block") client orders for the purchase or sale of securities.
Orders are generally entered on an account-by-account basis.
Under certain circumstances, however, we may determine that aggregating orders for multiple client
accounts is appropriate. We may aggregate orders when we believe doing so is consistent with our
fiduciary duty and may provide operational efficiencies, improve execution, or reduce transaction costs,
provided that aggregation is consistent with applicable law and is in the best interests of participating
clients.
When orders are aggregated, participating accounts generally will receive the same average execution
price (excluding any account-specific transaction costs or custodial charges). If an aggregated order is only
partially filled, allocations will be made in a manner that we believe is fair and equitable over time and
consistent with our allocation policies. We do not aggregate or allocate trades in a manner intended to
favor one client account over another.
We generally submit trades individually for each client account. From time to time, however, we may
aggregate trades for accounts managed under the same investment strategy or model when we determine
that doing so is in the best interests of participating clients.

Availability of
and
Overall value of the services provided relative to their costs.The Firm periodically reviews the broker-
dealer/custodian relationship to determine whether the selected provider continues to meet the Firm's
standards. This review may include consideration of service quality, operational
performance,
technology enhancements, regulatory developments, pricing, financial condition, and any material
client complaints or service issues. The Firm may recommend a different broker-dealer or custodian if
it determines doing so is in clients' best interests.
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits Schwab Institutional also offers other services to help
Robinswood and further develop its business enterprise. These services may include consulting,
publications and conferences on practice management, information technology, business succession,
regulatory compliance, and marketing. In addition, Schwab institutional may discount or waive fees it
would otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or part of the fees of a third‐party
providing these services to Robinswood. While as a fiduciary Robinswood endeavors to act in its
client’s best interests, Robinswood’ recommendation that clients maintain their assets in accounts at
Schwab may be based in part on the benefit to Robinswood of the availability of some of the foregoing
products and services and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services
provided by Schwab, which may create a potential conflict of interest. Schwab institutional may also
provide other benefits such as educational events or occasional business entertainment of Robinswood’s
personnel.
In some instances, some fund companies including, but not limited to, I-shares and Dimensional Fund
Advisers make available to Robinswood products and services that may benefit Robinswood, but may not
directly benefit each client account. These include software and other technology that provide research,
pricing information and other market data, and assist with back‐office functions. Some fund companies
may discount or waive fees they would otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all/or a part of
the fees of a third party providing these services to the Robinswood. These products and services are not
contingent upon Robinswood committing to fund companies any specific amount of business. As a
fiduciary Robinswood endeavors to act in its client’s best interest.
Schwab Institutional makes available to Robinswood other products and services that benefit Robinswood,
but may not directly benefit its client’s accounts. Many of these products and services may be used to
service all or some substantial number of Robinswood’ accounts, including accounts not maintained at
Schwab.
Schwab’s products and services that assist Robinswood in managing and administering clients’ accounts
include software and other technology that (i) provide access to client data (such as trade confirmations
and account statements); (ii) facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregate trade orders for multiple
accounts; (iii) provide research, pricing and other market data; (iv) facilitate payment of Robinswood’ fees
from client accounts; and (v) assist with back office functions, record keeping and client reporting.

Item 12 Brokerage Practices (continued)
Item 13
Review of Accounts
Review of Accounts
Client accounts are reviewed at least quarterly on an internal basis and as special situations arise, such as,
strategy changes by the Investment Committee, receipt of contributions, request for distributions, or
client directed allocation changes. Account reviews may include, but are not limited to review of client
cash needs, analysis of account allocation targets, review of tax goals and realized gain/loss for the year.
All taxable accounts are reviewed for tax purposes.
Formal quarterly portfolio review meetings are offered to all clients. Review meetings can take place in
person or by phone, and may include the discussion of global events, the markets, portfolio performance,
changes to a client’s financial situation and/or life that would affect their risk tolerance, goals, retirement
projections, and distribution strategies.
Reporting
We will provide you with quarterly performance and billing reports. These reports include the quarterly
and year to date performance (Time Weighted Rate of Return) of each account in relation to appropriate
benchmarks, along with a description of the management fees for the quarter.
Frequency and content of other reports will generally vary with the needs and requests of the client.
Clients will receive trade confirmations, monthly or quarterly statements, and year-end tax statements
directly from the custodian, Charles Schwab & Co. Clients may also view their accounts on-line at
www.schwab.com.

Item 14
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Robinswood asks its clients from time to time for referrals of potential new clients. No client receives
any referral fee or other economic benefit in connection with any such referral.
In January of 2022, Robinswood Financial LLC, updated it’s registration documents to account for
adding a solicitors arrangement to its practice and to highlight that all solicitor fees would be paid from
Robinswood Financial, LLC and would result in no increased fees for any clients for any services.
It is understood that Robinswood Financial LLC, may pay referral fees (non-commission based) to
independent solicitors for the referral of their clients to our firm in accordance with Rule 206 (4)-3 of
the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Such referral fee represents a share of our investment advisory fee
charged to our clients. This arrangement will not result in higher costs to the client for any service and
the advisory fee will be the same for clients regardless of whether they employ us through a solicitor or
not through a solicitor. We will maintain solicitor agreements in compliance with state and federal laws
and any solicitor arrangement will be disclosed to the client in advance.

Item 15
Custody
Custody
Robinswood Financial is not a broker/dealer and is not the custodian on your account. Robinswood does
not hold any cash or securities for any of our clients. Instead, all assets and cash are held by Charles
Schwab & Co., an outside broker/dealer, with insurance coverage provided by them. The cash
transactions are between you and the custodian. Our clients authorize Charles Schwab & Co., to directly
deduct our management fee from our clients’ accounts on a quarterly basis.
At least quarterly, clients should receive statements from the qualified custodian that holds and maintains
the client’s investment assets. Robinswood 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.
If you have a question regarding your account statement or if you did not receive a statement from your
custodian, please contact us directly at the telephone number on the cover page of this document.

Item 16
Investment Discretion
Investment Discretion
Robinswood 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 for your account(s) without obtaining
your prior consent for each transaction. In all cases, however, such discretion is to be exercised in a
manner consistent with the stated investment objectives for the particular client account.
When selecting securities and determining amounts, Robinswood observes the investment policies,
limitations and restrictions of the clients for which it advises.
You may request investment objectives, guidelines, and/or impose certain conditions, restrictions, or
investment parameters for your account(s). For example, you may request that certain investments be
incorporated when implementing your portfolio. Investment guidelines and restrictions must be provided
to Robinswood in writing.

Item 17
Voting Client Securities
Voting Client Securities
As a matter of policy and practice, and as stated in it's Advisory Agreement, Robinswood will not vote
proxies for securities held in the Investment Account. Robinswood will not recommend how clients
should vote their proxies.
Clients will receive their proxies or other solicitations directly from their custodian or a transfer agent.
Clients are free to contact Robinswood Financial at 425-296-1611 to discuss whether (and, if so, how)
clients can contact the adviser with questions about a particular solicitation.

Financial Information
Financial Information
Registered investment advisers are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial information
