Item 4: Services, Fees and Compensation
Description of Our Services
We offer wrap fee programs as described in this Wrap Fee Program Brochure. Our wrap fee accounts are
managed on an individualized basis according to the client’s investment objectives, financial goals, risk
tolerance, etc.
Types of Advisory Services
We offer the following services:
Investment Management Services
Our Wealth Management Service encompasses asset management as well as providing financial
planning/financial consulting to clients. It is designed to assist clients in meeting their financial goals through
the use of financial investments. We conduct at least one, but sometimes more than one meeting (in person
if possible, otherwise via telephone conference) with clients in order to understand their current financial
situation, existing resources, financial goals, and tolerance for risk. Based on what we learn, we propose an
investment approach to the client. We may propose an investment portfolio, consisting of exchange traded
funds, mutual funds, individual stocks or bonds, or other securities. Upon the client’s agreement to the
proposed investment plan, we work with the client to establish or transfer investment accounts so that we
can manage the client’s portfolio. Once the relevant accounts are under our management, we review such
accounts on a regular basis and at least quarterly. We may periodically rebalance or adjust client accounts
under our management. If the client experiences any significant changes to his/her financial or personal
circumstances, the client must notify us so that we can consider such information in managing the client’s
investments.
Investment Management Services Wrap Fee Program Fee Schedule
Our standard advisory fee is based on the market value of the assets under management and is calculated
as follows:
Account Value
Annual Advisory Fee
1.25%
Less than $1,000,000
0.95%
$1,000,000 - $3,000,000
0.75%
$3,000,001 and Above
The annual fees are negotiable and are pro-rated and paid in advance on a quarterly basis. The advisory fee
is based on the aggregated billable value of all related managed accounts assigned to the same client
household, on the last trading day of the previous quarter. The household’s aggregate billable assets
determine the applicable annual advisory fee rate under the above fee schedule. No increase in the annual
fee shall be effective without agreement from the client by signing a new agreement or amendment to their
current advisory agreement.
3
Advisory fees are directly debited from client accounts. Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar
quarter will be charged a pro-rated fee calculated according to the amount of time remaining in the billing
period. An account may be terminated with written notice. Upon termination of the account, any unearned
fee will be refunded to the client on a prorated basis.
Additional bundled Service Cost Considerations
A wrap fee program allows our clients to pay a specified fee for investment advisory services and the
execution of transactions. The advisory services may include portfolio management and the fee is not
correlated directly to the transactions in your account. Your fee is bundled with our costs for executing
transactions in your account(s). This results in a higher advisory fee to you. We do not charge our clients
higher advisory fees according to the trading activity, but you should be aware that we may have an incentive
to limit our trading activities in your account(s) because we are charged for executed trades. By participating
in a wrap fee program, you may end up paying more or less than you would through a non-wrap fee program
where a lower advisory fee is charged, but trade execution costs are passed directly through to you by the
executing broker.
Additional Expenses Not Included in the Wrap Program Fee
The wrap fee does not include certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, investment product
sponsors, and other third parties, such as account termination or transfer fees, wire transfer and electronic
fund fees, transfer taxes, odd-lot differentials, mark-ups or mark-downs, dealer spreads, fees associated
with transactions executed away from the program’s designated broker-dealer, and other fees or taxes on
accounts or securities transactions. Clients also bear the fees and expenses charged internally by mutual
funds, exchange-traded funds, private funds, and other investment products held in their accounts.
Clients may also incur deferred sales charges or similar charges upon the sale of investments purchased
before the client’s advisory relationship with BIG and subsequently transferred into an account managed by
BIG. These charges are imposed pursuant to the terms of the investment, are not included in the wrap fee,
and are not paid to BIG. BIG does not receive commissions or other compensation in connection with such
charges.
Compensation
Our investment advisory representatives receive a portion of the advisory fee that you pay us, either directly
as a percentage of your overall fee or as their salary from our firm. In cases where our investment advisory
representatives are paid a percentage of your overall advisory fee, this may create an incentive to
recommend that you participate in a wrap fee program rather than a non-wrap fee program (where you
would pay for trade execution costs) or brokerage account where commissions are charged. This is because,
in some cases, we may stand to earn more compensation from advisory fees paid to us through a wrap fee
program arrangement if your account is not actively traded.
4
We provide financial planning and portfolio management services to individuals, high net-worth individuals,
pension and profiting sharing plans, charitable organizations, and corporations or other businesses.
Item 5: Account Requirements and Types of
Clients
We do have a minimum account size requirement of $250,000, however we may waive this at our
discretion.
Outside Portfolio Managers
We do not hire outside Portfolio Managers.
Item 6: Portfolio Manager Selection and
Evaluation
Boothe Investment Group Inc. Portfolio Managers
Our firm and its related person, David F. Boothe, act as portfolio manager for the wrap fee program
previously described in this Wrap Fee Program Brochure. This may create a conflict of interest in that other
investment advisory firms may charge the same or lower fees than our firm for similar services. Our related
person portfolio managers are not subject to the same selection and review as outside portfolio managers
that participate in the wrap fee program.
Advisory Business
See Item 4 of this Wrap Fee Program Brochure for information about our wrap fee advisory
programs.
Individual Tailoring of Advice to Clients
We offer individualized investment advice to clients utilizing our Asset Management and
Comprehensive Investment Management Services.
Ability of Clients to Impose Restrictions on Investing in Certain Securities or Types of
Securities
We do allow clients to impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of
securities.
Participation in Wrap Fee Programs
Our wrap fee and non-wrap fee accounts are managed on an individualized basis according to the
client’s investment objectives, financial goals, risk tolerance, etc. We do not manage wrap fee
accounts in a different fashion than non-wrap fee accounts.
Performance-based fees and side-by-side management
We do not charge performance-based fees.

Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Our primary methods of investment analysis are fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis.
Fundamental analysis involves analyzing individual companies and their industry groups, such as a
company’s financial statements, details regarding the company’s product line, the experience, and
expertise of the company’s management, and the outlook for the company’s industry. The resulting
data is used to measure the true value of the company’s stock compared to the current market value.
The risk of fundamental analysis is that information obtained may be incorrect and the analysis may
not provide an accurate estimate of earnings, which may be the basis for a stock’s value. If securities
prices adjust rapidly to new information, utilizing fundamental analysis may not result in favorable
performance.
Technical analysis involves using chart patterns, momentum, volume, and relative strength in an
effort to pick sectors that may outperform market indices. However, there is no assurance of
accurate forecasts or that trends will develop in the markets we follow. In the past, there have been
periods without discernible trends and similar periods will presumably occur in the future. Even
where major trends develop, outside factors like government intervention could potentially shorten
them.
Furthermore, one limitation of technical analysis is that it requires price movement data, which can
translate into price trends sufficient to dictate a market entry or exit decision. In a trendless or erratic
market, a technical method may fail to identify trends requiring action. In addition, technical
methods may overreact to minor price movements, establishing positions contrary to overall price
trends, which may result in losses. Finally, a technical trading method may under perform other
trading methods when fundamental factors dominate price moves within a given market.
Cyclical analysis is a type of technical analysis that involves evaluating recurring price patterns and
trends based upon business cycles. Economic/business cycles may not be predictable and may have
many fluctuations between long term expansions and contractions. The lengths of economic cycles
may be difficult to predict with accuracy and therefore the risk of cyclical analysis is the difficulty in
predicting economic trends and consequently the changing value of securities that would be affected
by these changing trends.
Tactical Index Investment
We primarily practice a tactical investment strategy. This involves building portfolios that are
comprised of various distinct asset classes. The asset classes are weighted in a manner to achieve a
desired relationship between correlation, risk, and return. Funds that passively capture the returns
of the desired asset classes are placed in the portfolio as well as individual equities. The funds that
are used to build passive portfolios are typically index mutual funds or exchange traded funds. Once
we have determined the proper balance between your risk tolerance and your need for growth
and/or income, we allocate your money to help meet those parameters. We then deploy a tactical
approach within those parameters to try and enhance returns and minimize risk depending on
current market conditions.
6
Index fund investment is characterized by low portfolio expenses (i.e., the funds inside the portfolio
have low internal costs), minimal trading costs (due to infrequent trading activity), and relative tax
efficiency (because the funds inside the portfolio are tax efficient and turnover inside the portfolio
is minimal).
Material Risks Involved
All investing strategies we offer involve risk and may result in a loss of your original investment
which you should be prepared to bear. Many of these risks apply equally to stocks, bonds,
commodities and any other investment or security. Material risks associated with our investment
strategies are listed below.
Market Risk: Market risk involves the possibility that an investment’s current market value will fall
because of a general market decline, reducing the value of the investment regardless of the
operational success of the issuer’s operations or its financial condition.
Strategy Risk: The Adviser’s investment strategies and/or investment techniques may not work as
intended.
Small and Medium Cap Company Risk: Securities of companies with small and medium market
capitalizations are often more volatile and less liquid than investments in larger companies. Small
and medium cap companies may face a greater risk of business failure, which could increase the
volatility of the client’s portfolio.
Concentration Risk: Certain investment strategies focus on particular asset-classes, industries,
sectors or types of investment. From time to time these strategies may be subject to greater risks of
adverse developments in such areas of focus than a strategy that is more broadly diversified across
a wider variety of investments.
Interest Rate Risk: Bond (fixed income) prices generally fall when interest rates rise, and the value
may fall below par value or the principal investment. The opposite is also generally true: bond prices
generally rise when interest rates fall. In general, fixed income securities with longer maturities are
more sensitive to these price changes. Most other investments are also sensitive to the level and
direction of interest rates.
Legal or Legislative Risk: Legislative changes or Court rulings may impact the value of investments,
or the securities’ claim on the issuer’s assets and finances.
Inflation: Inflation may erode the buying-power of your investment portfolio, even if the dollar value
of your investments remains the same.
Risks Associated with Securities
Apart from the general risks outlined above which apply to all types of investments, specific securities
may have other risks.
Commercial Paper is, in most cases, an unsecured promissory note that is issued with a maturity of
270 days or less. Being unsecured the risk to the investor is that the issuer may default.
7
Common stocks may go up and down in price quite dramatically, and in the event of an issuer’s
bankruptcy or restructuring could lose all value. A slower-growth or recessionary economic
environment could have an adverse effect on the price of all stocks.
Corporate Bonds are debt securities to borrow money. Generally, issuers pay investors periodic
interest and repay the amount borrowed either periodically during the life of the security and/or at
maturity. Alternatively, investors can purchase other debt securities, such as zero-coupon bonds,
which do not pay current interest, but rather are priced at a discount from their face values and their
values accrete over time to face value at maturity. The market prices of debt securities fluctuate
depending on such factors as interest rates, credit quality, and maturity. In general, market prices of
debt securities decline when interest rates rise and increase when interest rates fall. The longer the
time to a bond’s maturity, the greater its interest rate risk.
Bank Obligations including bonds and certificates of deposit may be vulnerable to setbacks or panics
in the banking industry. Banks and other financial institutions are greatly affected by interest rates
and may be adversely affected by downturns in the U.S. and foreign economies or changes in banking
regulations.
Municipal Bonds are debt obligations generally issued to obtain funds for various public purposes,
including the construction of public facilities. Municipal bonds pay a lower rate of return than most
other types of bonds. However, because of a municipal bond’s tax-favored status, investors should
compare the relative after-tax return to the after-tax return of other bonds, depending on the
investor’s tax bracket. Investing in municipal bonds carries the same general risks as investing in
bonds in general. Those risks include interest rate risk, reinvestment risk, inflation risk, market risk,
call or redemption risk, credit risk, and liquidity and valuation risk.
Options and other derivatives carry many unique risks, including time-sensitivity, and can result in
the complete loss of principal. While covered call writing does provide a partial hedge to the stock
against which the call is written, the hedge is limited to the amount of cash flow received when
writing the option. When selling covered calls, there is a risk the underlying position may be called
away at a price lower than the current market price.
Exchange Traded Funds prices may vary significantly from the Net Asset Value due to market
conditions. Certain Exchange Traded Funds may not track underlying benchmarks as expected.
Investment Companies Risk. When a client invests in open end mutual funds or ETFs, the client
indirectly bears its proportionate share of any fees and expenses payable directly by those funds.
Therefore, the client will incur higher expenses, many of which may be duplicative. In addition, the
client’s overall portfolio may be affected by losses of an underlying fund and the level of risk arising
from the investment practices of an underlying fund (such as the use of derivatives). ETFs are also
subject to the following risks: (i) an ETF’s shares may trade at a market price that is above or below
their net asset value; (ii) the ETF may employ an investment strategy that utilizes high leverage ratios;
or (iii) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action
appropriate, the shares are de-listed from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit
8
breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally. The Adviser
has no control over the risks taken by the underlying funds in which clients invest.
Voting Client Securities
We do not vote Client proxies. Therefore, Clients maintain exclusive responsibility for: (1) voting
proxies, and (2) acting on corporate actions pertaining to the Client’s investment assets. The Client
shall instruct the Client’s qualified custodian to forward to the Client copies of all proxies and
shareholder communications relating to the Client’s investment assets. If the client would like our
opinion on a particular proxy vote, they may contact us at the number listed on the cover of this
brochure.
In most cases, you will receive proxy materials directly from the account custodian. However, in the
event we were to receive any written or electronic proxy materials, we would forward them directly
to you by mail, unless you have authorized our firm to contact you by electronic mail, in which case,
we would forward you any electronic solicitation to vote proxies.
Item 7: Client Information Provided to
Portfolio Manager
We are required to describe the information about you that we communicate to your portfolio manager(s),
and how often or under what circumstances we provide updated information. Our firm communicates with
your portfolio manager(s) on a regular basis as needed (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) to ensure you’re most
current investment goals and objectives are understood by your portfolio manager(s). In most cases, we will
communicate such information as part of our regular investment management duties. Nevertheless, we will
also communicate information to your portfolio manager(s) when you ask us to, when market or economic
conditions make it prudent to do so, etc.
Our clients may directly contact their portfolio manager(s) with questions or concerns by calling the number
on this Brochure.
Item 8: Client Contact with Portfolio Manager
Disciplinary Information
We have determined that our firm and management have no disciplinary information to disclose.
Item 9: Additional Information
Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
David Boothe is licensed to sell life and health insurance; however, he does not engage in product sales with
our clients.

Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
As a fiduciary, our firm and its associates have a duty of utmost good faith to act solely in the best interests
of each client. Our clients entrust us with their funds and personal information, which in turn places a high
standard on our conduct and integrity. Our fiduciary duty is a core aspect of our Code of Ethics and
represents the expected basis of all of our dealings.
Code of Ethics Description
This code does not attempt to identify all possible conflicts of interest, and literal compliance with each of
its specific provisions will not shield associated persons from liability for personal trading or other conduct
that violates a fiduciary duty to advisory clients. A summary of the Code of Ethics' Principles is outlined
below.
•
Integrity - Associated persons shall offer and provide professional services with integrity.
•
Objectivity - Associated persons shall be objective in providing professional services to clients.
•
Competence - Associated persons shall provide services to clients competently and maintain the
necessary knowledge and skill to continue to do so in those areas in which they are engaged.
•
Fairness - Associated persons shall perform professional services in a manner that is fair and
reasonable to clients, principals, partners, and employers, and shall disclose conflict(s) of interest in
providing such services.
•
Confidentiality - Associated persons shall not disclose confidential client information without the
specific consent of the client unless in response to proper legal process, or as required by law.
•
Professionalism - Associated persons’ conduct in all matter shall reflect credit of the profession.
•
Diligence - Associated persons shall act diligently in providing professional services.
We periodically review and amend our Code of Ethics to ensure that it remains current, and we require all
firm access persons to attest to their understanding of and adherence to the Code of Ethics at least annually.
Our firm will provide of copy of its Code of Ethics to any client or prospective client upon request.
Investment Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest and
Conflicts of Interest
Neither our firm, its associates or any related person is authorized to recommend to a client, or effect a
transaction for a client, involving any security in which our firm or a related person has a material financial
interest, such as in the capacity as an underwriter, adviser to the issuer, etc.
Advisory Firm Purchase of Same Securities Recommended to Clients and Conflicts
of Interest
Our firm and its “related persons” may buy or sell securities similar to, or different from, those we
recommend to clients for their accounts. Our policy is designed to assure that the personal securities
transactions, activities and interests of the employees of our firm 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. 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
10
might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by an employee. In an effort to reduce or
eliminate certain conflicts of interest involving the firm or personal trading, our policy may require that we
restrict or prohibit associates’ transactions in specific reportable securities transactions. Any exceptions or
trading pre-clearance must be approved by the firm principal in advance of the transaction in an account,
and we maintain the required personal securities transaction records per regulation.
Trading Securities at/Around the Same Time as Client’s Securities
From time to time, our firm or its “related persons” may buy or sell securities for themselves at or around
the same time as clients. We will not trade non-mutual fund securities 5 days prior to the same security for
clients.
Investment Advice Relating to Retirement Accounts
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement
account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way
we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires
us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule’s provisions,
we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours 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 your best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
In addition, and as required by this rule, we provide information regarding the services that we provide to
you, and any material conflicts of interest, in this brochure and in your client agreement.
Review of Accounts
Client accounts with the Investment Management Service will be reviewed regularly on a quarterly basis by
David F. Boothe, President and Financial Advisor. The account is reviewed with regards to the client’s
investment policies and risk tolerance levels. Events that may trigger a special review would be unusual
performance, addition or deletions of client-imposed restrictions, excessive draw-down, volatility in
performance, or buy and sell decisions from the firm or per client's needs.
Clients will receive trade confirmations from the broker(s) for each transaction in their accounts as well as
monthly or quarterly statements and annual tax reporting statements from their custodian showing all
activity in the accounts, such as receipt of dividends and interest.
B.I.G. Investment Services will provide written reports to investment management clients on an annual
basis. We urge clients to compare these reports against the account statements they receive from their
custodian.
11
Client Referrals
We do not receive any economic benefit, directly or indirectly from any third party for advice rendered to
our clients. Nor do we directly or indirectly compensate any person who is not advisory personnel for client
referrals.
Financial Information
Registered investment advisers are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial information or
disclosures about our financial condition. We have no financial commitment that impairs our ability to meet
contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients, and we have not been the subject of a bankruptcy
proceeding.
