Investment Management Services
As a SEC Registered Investment Advisor, ACP Capital provides investment advisory services to individuals as well
as to institutional clients. When providing investment advisory services to its clients, ACP Capital investment
advisory services are provided through various types of discretionary and non-discretionary accounts (the
“Accounts”) in accordance with each client’s investment objective and pursuant to the terms outlined in its investment
advisory agreement. ACP Capital discretionary and non-discretionary investment management services include the
design, structure, and implementation of investment strategies for Managed Accounts. Investment advisory activities
focus on investments in various kinds of assets and securities in a variety of markets that are intended to be in the
client’s best interest considering the client’s objectives, strategies and risk profile as described by each client during
an interview process. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities. Each
agreement typically defines the services to be provided, and the fees will be agreed on in the advisory agreement.
Regardless of the type of account (discretionary or non-discretionary) the client enters into, ACP Capital has
continuous and regular supervisory or management services over the relationship.
The overall advisory services offered by ACP Capital falls within the following categories listed below.
Non-Discretionary Advisory Services
ACP Capital provides non-discretionary advisory services to both institutional and retail clients in accordance with
a nondiscretionary advisory agreement between ACP Capital and the client. Under the non-discretionary mandates,
ACP Capital designs a specific investment strategy considering each client’s risk profile, investment objective and
financial goal outlook. In a non-discretionary relationship, ACP Capital will provide investment advice to clients
and will discuss the recommendations and obtain the clients consent prior to implementing the advised strategy. It
is up to the client to execute the strategy with their individual custodian. However, ACP Capital will, when
authorized by the client, may assist in the implementation of such strategies by forwarding instructions to the
client’s custodian and arranging/effecting the purchase or sale of the securities we advise on.
Each client is required to sign an investment advisory agreement (non-discretionary) where they state their
investment objectives, risk profile and overall financial profile. In the agreement, ACP Capital clearly discloses all
fees and costs associated with the investment advisory mandate. Also, in this agreement ACP Capital discloses and
the client acknowledges if there is cash compensation to a promotor for referring the relationship to ACP Capital.
Each agreement defines the services to be provided and fees to be charged. The fees will be agreed to in the advisory
agreement. ACP Capital also provides recommendations regarding the investment of securities and cash in a
client’s account. These services are individually tailored to each client’s needs and such advice may be provided to
accounts with assets maintained at various third parties.

different investment objectives and goals. Currently, ACP Capital discretionary managed accounts fall within the
following profiles:

offering memorandum. ACP Capital does not have custody of any of the funds or clients assets. Client assets are

manage as they benefit from increased assets within the funds because it will have the opportunity to earn greater
fees. We mitigate this conflict by only providing investment advice that is in the best interest of the client.

preservation, balanced market exposure, or high growth potential. By utilizing a combination of fixed income,

These model portfolios are discretionary in nature and are designed to afford the client an investment in a strategy
for a single fee. As such these strategies are considered part of ACP Capitals’ Wrap Fee Program. For more
information on the model portfolios, risks, fees and potential conflict please see ACP Capital Wrap Fee Brochure.
Please be aware that when we advise you to invest in any of the model portfolio’s listed above we have a conflict of
interest as these are proprietary in nature and benefit ACP by increasing our asset base upon which we charge. As a
client, you may also find similar strategies from different managers that more favorable fee structure. We mitigate
these conflicts by ensuring that we only advise you to invest when it is in your best interest. We also revise our fee
structure to ensure it is competitive and adequate in relation to the services we offer.
WRAP Fee Program: Under our wrap fee program, clients pay a single, asset-based fee that generally covers portfolio
management, trade execution, custody of assets, and standard brokerage services provided by our unaffiliated
custodian, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”). As the sponsor of our program, we are independently owned
and operated and not affiliated with Schwab, which serves solely as broker-dealer and custodian. Schwab does not
provide investment advice, exercise discretion, or monitor our management of your account.
We manage wrap fee accounts similarly to non-wrap accounts in terms of investment selection and ongoing
monitoring. However, wrap accounts differ in that the transaction charges for trades executed through Schwab are
included in the wrap fee, while non-wrap clients pay transaction charges separately from advisory fees. Because we
pay for these transaction costs out of your wrap fee, we have a financial incentive to reduce trading or other account
costs in wrap accounts, which creates a potential conflict of interest.
The wrap fee program may not be suitable for all investors. For example, accounts that maintain substantial cash or
cash-equivalent positions, fixed income securities, or no-transaction-fee mutual funds for extended periods may find
the wrap fee more expensive than a traditional fee structure. Before selecting this program, you should carefully
compare the total costs associated with our wrap fee arrangement to the costs of engaging other advisers, broker-
dealers, and custodians for similar services on a separate-fee basis. Various factors, including account size, trading
frequency, and types of assets held, may affect the cost-effectiveness of the wrap fee program. See Item 5.
Consolidated Wealth Reporting
ACP offers Consolidated Wealth Reporting Services (“Consolidated Reporting") to clients who have agreed to
receive such service in combination with their existing discretionary management and/or non-discretionary advisory
services, or under a separate Consolidated Reporting agreement. Consolidated Reporting entails aggregating
clients’ account(s) information as received from the clients’ third-party custodians and/or broker-dealers and
reporting the consolidated information via a third-party wealth data technology platform under contractual
agreement with ACP. ACP does not manage or advise on the assets included in the Consolidated Reporting unless
the client has entered into a discretionary management or advisory agreement for those assets with ACP.
Consolidated Reporting is provided at a fixed fee per consolidated account, independent of ACP’s management and
advisory fees. The fixed Fee may be rebated, adjusted, or waived at the sole discretion of ACP. When calculating
Management Fee and/or Advisory Fee, ACP does not include the value and performance of the assets in the
Consolidated Reporting. Consolidated Reporting is intended for informational purposes only and generally includes
reporting on metrics deemed relevant by ACP or agreed to between ACP and the client, including asset allocation
and performance. When offering Consolidated Reporting, ACP relies on information provided by third-party
custodians, broker-dealers, and/or administrators of the reporting assets and is therefore not liable for the accuracy
or completeness of the information.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, ACP Capital manages $360,343,993 on a discretionary basis and $0 on a non-
discretionary basis.

For investments in Model Portfolios ACP charges a maximum of 1.75% on a yearly basis.
Specifically, for portfolios comprised of structured products and emerging market fixed income, ACP Capital
charges a management fee of 1.50% of assets under management along with a performance-based fee of up to 20%
of the annual gross profits for the account, payable annually in arrears, unless otherwise negotiated to qualified
clients.
The performance fee allocation is subject to a “high water mark” provision. No performance fee will be charged,
except to the extent that the amount of the capital increase exceeds the sum of any cumulative loss in the account
on a yearly basis. For the purposes of calculating our performance-based fees, the year shall be deemed to
commence on January 1 and end on December 31.
Discounts and Minimums
ACP Capital, in its discretion, may negotiate the advisory fee and/or the minimums set forth above in appropriate
circumstances. We may also set the initial advisory fee at a lower rate for a temporary period on a promotional
basis. However, please be aware that the ensuing service fees will always be clearly disclosed in the ACP Capital
investment management agreement you sign.
ACP Capital will deduct the fees from your account as authorized in the investment management agreement.
ACP Capital Management, LLC - Form ADV Part 2 - Brochure

Fees are billed quarterly, in arrears, and are based on the amount of the assets under management on the last day
of the quarter. ACP Capital reserves the right to liquidate a portion of the account assets to cover the advisory fee
and other expenses at any time.
Fees are usually deducted from a designated Client asset account to facilitate billing. The Client must consent in
advance to direct debiting of their account. We recommend that you review our invoices and compare them with
the statement(s) you receive from the qualified custodian. Please call our main office number, located on the cover
page of this brochure, if you have any questions about your statement or invoice.
At the inception of investment management services, the first pay period’s fees will be calculated on a pro-rata
basis. The Advisory Agreement between you and ACP Capital will continue in effect until either party terminates
the Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. ACP Capital's annual fee will be pro-rated through
the date of termination, and the client will be responsible for the payment of all unpaid fees.
Additional Fees and Expenses
All fees paid to ACP Capital for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses
charged by custodians, broker/dealers, banks and/or other service providers to you. For example, some products may
impose other fees and expenses, such as mutual funds or exchange traded funds to their shareholders. These fees and
expenses are described in each fund's prospectus. These fees generally include a management fee, other fund
expenses, and a possible distribution fee. If the fund also imposes sales charges, a client may pay an initial or
deferred sales charge. We generally seek to avoid funds with sales charges. However, some funds may have early
redemption fees if sold prior to the expiration of their holding periods.
A client could invest in a mutual fund or exchange traded fund directly, without the services of ACP Capital. In
that case, the client would not receive the services provided by ACP Capital which are designed, among other
things, to assist the client in determining which mutual funds or exchange traded funds are most appropriate to
each client's financial condition and objectives. Accordingly, the client should review both the fees charged by the
funds and the fees charged by ACP Capital to fully understand the total amount of fees to be paid by the client and
to thereby evaluate the advisory services being provided.
Model Portfolios:
In addition to the services outlined in this brochure, our model portfolios incur specific fees. For the ACP Model
Portfolios, fees include an annual advisory fee billed quarterly, which covers portfolio management and
administrative costs. There may also be underlying fund fees applicable to the ETFs and mutual funds within these
portfolios. Additionally, there may be trading costs associated with rebalancing these portfolios.
WRAP Fee Program:
Under our wrap fee program, we charge a single, asset-based fee that covers our advisory services as well as certain
brokerage and custodial services provided by Schwab. Our standard wrap fee schedule is up to 1.75% of assets under
management, assessed quarterly in advance.
Wrap accounts and non-wrap accounts are subject to different fee structures, and our wrap fee schedule may not
apply to non-wrap clients. The specific maximum and minimum fees, and whether fees are negotiable, are disclosed
in this brochure and in your advisory agreement. Please refer to the ACP Capital WRAP Brochure for additional
details regarding your account’s fee schedule.
While the wrap fee generally covers portfolio management and standard brokerage costs at Schwab, certain other
fees and expenses are not included. These may include, but are not limited to, internal expenses charged by mutual

funds and ETFs (as disclosed in their prospectuses), mark-ups or mark-downs, bid-ask spreads, wire transfer fees, or
transaction charges if trades are executed through a broker-dealer other than Schwab. If such “trading away” occurs,
you may incur additional charges on top of the wrap fee.
We pay Schwab for brokerage services out of the wrap fee. This creates a conflict of interest, as we maximize our
compensation by seeking to minimize the costs we incur on your behalf. As a result, we have an incentive to reduce
trading activity in wrap fee accounts. In most cases, Schwab does not charge commissions for online trades of U.S.
equities, ETFs, and options (subject to Schwab’s per contract fee), but you should review Schwab’s current pricing
to compare the total costs of participating in a wrap fee arrangement versus paying for brokerage and advisory
services separately. We encourage you to discuss the relative costs, benefits, and appropriateness of the wrap fee
program for your particular situation with us before enrolling.
Item 6. – Performance-based Fees
Performance-based fees are defined as fees based on a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of the assets
held in a client’s account. ACP Capital may charge a performance fee (if applicable complying with rule 205-3 of
the Investment Adviser Act). Performance-based fees could be billed quarterly or annually.
With respect to ACP Capital’s management of Client assets, performance fees give rise to certain conflicts of
interest. Specifically, ACP Capital’s entitlement to performance fees in managing one or more accounts may create
an incentive to take risks in managing those accounts that ACP Capital would not otherwise take in the absence of
such fee arrangements. Additionally, since performance fees reward for performance in accounts which are subject
to such fees, ACP Capital may have an incentive to favor these accounts over those that have only asset-based fees
with respect to trading opportunities, trade allocation, and allocation of new investment opportunities. Generally,
ACP Capital addresses these conflicts by utilizing an investment allocation policy designed to treat all Clients
fairly and equitably and only advice the investment in strategies that are in the client’s best interest.
.
Item 7. – Types of Clients
ACP Capital currently provides investment advice to high-net-worth individuals, private funds, and separately
managed accounts, as well as other types of institutions, corporations or business entities.
ACP Capital generally stipulates a minimum dollar value of assets under management of $250,000 and a minimum
of $1,000,000 for Structured Fixed-Income Portfolios. An exception may be made to any of the minimums by ACP
Capital.

the world, BlackRock has extensive global teams of analysts, portfolio managers and strategists, leveraging state-
of-the-art resources to analyze market information and risks, providing them robust capabilities in the design and
management of global model portfolios that reflects in their overall performance.
The line-up of BlackRock sponsored and managed ETFs and UCITS is broad, comprehensive, and known for its
efficiency.
The investments offered by the Adviser will be integrated in a platform, where clients will answer a series of personal
and investment related questions, thus setting a recommended allocation between portfolios available through the
program. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
ACP Capital, in its role as investment advisor and fiduciary, supervises and customizes the investment profile
questionnaire, provides parameters for the algorithm controlling the portfolio recommendations, and monitors the
investment management process, including portfolio rebalancing. If the client’s account is being managed on a
discretionary basis, ACP Capital can select the identity and amount or quantity of securities to be bought or sold.
Through Adviser’s strategy, Adviser seeks asset preservation and capital appreciation of clients’ portfolios by
customizing asset allocations and selecting investment vehicles that it believes will align clients’ risk / return
expectations with long term and short term investment needs and goals. The asset class allocations forecasts and
expectations are analyzed and invested in various financial instruments, typically include equity, fixed income,
mutual funds and ETFs, among others. Adviser will select and monitor the investment vehicles for each asset class
in the portfolios based on their history and prospective risk and return characteristics, and determine suitability for
each client’s needs, as well as, estimated fees and expense.
Investing in securities involves risk of loss of capital that clients should be prepared to bear. Please carefully review
the following section on Investment Risks.
Material Risks for Significant Investment Strategies
Please see the ADV Part 2 Wrap brochure for complete details of the risks in that program.
While it is the intention of Adviser to implement strategies which are designed to minimize potential losses suffered
by its client, there can be no assurance that such strategies will be successful. It is possible that a client may lose a
substantial proportion or all of its assets in connection with investment decisions made by Adviser. The following is
a discussion of typical risks for Adviser’s clients, but it does not purport to be a complete explanation of the risks
involved with Adviser’s investment strategies.
There is no guarantee that in any time period, particularly in the short term, a client’s portfolio will achieve appreciation
in terms of capital growth or that a client’s investment objective will be met by Adviser.

The value of the securities in which Adviser invests on behalf of its clients may be volatile. Price movements may
result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries that may influence certain strategies or the
securities market as a whole. Furthermore, a client will be subject to the risk that inflation, economic recession,
changes in the general level of interest rates or other market conditions over which Adviser will have no control may
adversely affect investment results. Adviser notes that while Adviser’s management of accounts may not involve
direct leveraging, or other risk factors discussed below, the underlying funds and other investments that comprise
client accounts may engage in practices that can materially impact the performance of such fund or investment, which
in turn may materially impact the value of Adviser’s clients’ portfolios.
Market Risk
Market risks affect the value of the investment portfolio, are usually broad-based, and include adverse
developments deriving from political, regulatory, market or economic events that affect issuers, sectors, industries,
segments, or regions.
Investment Style or Asset Class Risks
Different stages in the business and economic cycle may negatively affect certain investment styles (for example:
growth, value, large cap, or small cap stocks, etc.) or asset classes (for example: emerging markets debt, real estate,
etc.) These negative return periods could last several years.
Growth Company Risks
Growth companies derive their valuations, for the most part, from future earnings and cash flow growth. Economic
slowdowns may disproportionately affect the valuation of growth companies.
Small- and Mid-Cap Company Risks
Smaller sized companies have narrower customer bases, heightened reliance on suppliers, less access to financing
and, in general, a higher level of exposure to changes in the business environment.
Sector Risks
Issuers belonging to similar sectors or industries may be affected by the same events or developments.
High Yield Risks
Issuers of bonds with a credit rating below investment grade are more susceptible to changes in the business and
economic conditions, increases in interest rates, and restrictions in their access to financing.
Credit Risks
These risks refer to issuers and counterparties being unable or unwilling to pay its obligations. A less robust
financial condition, especially in terms of access to funds or liquidity, tends to increase credit risk.
Interest Rate Risks
These risks refer to the loss of value in fixed income investments, including preferred shares, as interest rates rise,
and prices must adjust to reflect higher required yields.
ACP Capital Management, LLC - Form ADV Part 2 - Brochure
14
Currency Risks
These risks refer to the possibility that the value of a currency in which the investor has a long exposure becomes
less valuable in terms of the investor’s base currency.
Liquidity Risks
Liquidity relates to the ability to sell an investment in a timely manner. The market for relatively illiquid securities
tends to be more volatile. Investments in relatively illiquid securities may restrict the ability of a fund or portfolio
manager to dispose of investments at a price and time that it wishes to do so. The risk of illiquidity also arises in the
case of over-the-counter transactions as there is no regulated market and the bid and offer prices will be established
solely by dealers in these contracts.
Settlement Risks
Execution may expose a client to the credit risk of parties with whom the Adviser, on behalf of the client and through
the Broker-Dealer, trades and to the risk of settlement default. Clearing, settlement, and registration systems in
emerging markets are less developed and may provide increased risks.
Short Selling Risks
We typically will not directly engage in short selling in client accounts. However, we may invest in funds and other
securities on behalf of clients that may sell securities short. Short selling by a fund manager can significantly impact
the value and volatility of a fund held in a client’s account. The possible losses from selling short differ from losses
that could be incurred from a cash investment; the former may be unlimited, whereas the latter can only equal the
total amount of the cash investment. Short selling activities are also subject to restrictions imposed by the various
national and regional securities exchanges.
Emerging Markets Risks
Investment strategies may include direct and indirect investments in securities in emerging markets and such
investments involve special considerations and risks. These include a possibility of nationalization, expropriation or
confiscatory taxation, foreign exchange control, political changes, government regulation, social instability or
diplomatic developments which could affect adversely the economies of such countries or the value of a client’s
investments, and the risks of investing in countries with smaller capital markets, such as limited liquidity, price
volatility, restrictions on foreign investment and repatriation of capital, and the risks associated with emerging
economies, including high inflation and interest rates and political and social uncertainties. In addition, it may be
difficult to obtain and enforce a judgment in a court in an emerging country. Investments in products of emerging
market may also become illiquid which may constrain our ability to liquidate some or all of a client’s portfolio
holdings. Accounting standards in emerging market countries may not be as stringent as accounting standards in
developed countries.
Hedging transactions may increase risks of capital losses
Adviser can utilize hedging strategies primarily to protect and preserve capital as well as yield enhancement.
Investment products in which Adviser invests clients’ accounts may utilize a variety of financial instruments, such
as options, for risk management purposes. While hedging transactions may seek to reduce risk, such transactions
may result in a worse overall performance. Certain risks cannot be hedged, such as credit risk, relating both to
particular securities and counterparties. Adviser will not always invest in funds or other investment vehicles that
utilize hedging strategies.
ACP Capital Management, LLC - Form ADV Part 2 - Brochure
15
Leverage
Adviser does not currently utilize and employ leverage under its current strategies. Such strategies may include the
borrowing and short selling of securities, bonds, foreign exchange and the acquisition and disposal of certain types of
derivative securities and instruments, such as swaps, futures and options. While leveraging creates an opportunity for
greater total returns, it also exposes a client to a greater risk of loss arising from adverse price changes. Where leverage
is indirect (e.g., used by a fund manager for a fund in which Adviser’s client is invested) a sharp decrease in the value
of the investment can have a significant impact on a client’s portfolio.
Foreign currency markets
Adviser’s investment strategies can cause a client to be exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates where it
invests directly or indirectly in securities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Adviser does not engage
in direct foreign currency trading. However, the underlying funds and other investment vehicles may engage in direct
foreign currency trading. The markets in which foreign exchange transactions are effected are highly volatile, highly
specialized and highly technical. Significant changes, including changes in liquidity and prices, can occur in such
markets within very short periods of time, often within minutes. Foreign exchange trading risks include, but are not
limited to, exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and potential interference by foreign governments through regulation
of local exchange markets, foreign investment, or particular transactions in foreign currency.
Investment Concentration
Some client accounts may have a high concentration in one sector, industry, issuer or security that may subject such
accounts to greater risk of loss in the event such investments take an economic downturn.
ETF Risks including Net Asset Valuation and Tracking Error
ETF performance may not exactly match the performance of the index or market benchmark that the ETF is designed
to track because 1) the ETF will incur expenses and transaction costs not incurred by any applicable index or market
benchmark; 2) certain securities comprising the index or market benchmark tracked by the ETF may, from time to
time, temporarily be unavailable; and 3) supply and demand in the market for either the ETF and/or for the securities
held by the ETF may cause the ETF shares to trade at a premium or discount to the actual net asset value of the
securities owned by the ETF. Certain ETF strategies may from time to time include the purchase of fixed income,
commodities, foreign securities, American Depositary Receipts, or other securities for which expenses and
commission rates could be higher than normally charged for exchange-traded equity securities, and for which market
quotations or valuation may be limited or inaccurate. Clients should be aware that to the extent they invest in ETF
securities they will pay two levels of advisory compensation – advisory fees charged by the Adviser plus any
management fees charged by the sponsor of the ETF. An ETF typically includes embedded expenses that may reduce
the fund's net asset value, and therefore directly affect the fund's performance and indirectly affect a client’s portfolio
performance or an index comparison. Expenses of the fund may include investment management fees, custodian
fees, brokerage commissions, and legal and accounting fees. ETF expenses may change from time to time at the
sole discretion of the ETF sponsor. ETF tracking error and expenses may vary.
Material Risks for Particular Types of Securities
The internet advisor uses almost exclusively ETFs. The material risks involved with investing are described above.

Methods of Analysis
The following are different methods of analysis that we may use when providing you with investment advice:
Fundamental Analysis: This is a technique that attempts to determine a security’s value by focusing on underlying
factors that affect a company's actual business and its future prospects. The term refers to the analysis of the
economic well-being of a financial entity as opposed to only its price movements. Risks associated with
fundamental analysis include 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: This is a technique that relies on the assumption that current market data (such as charts of
price, volume, and open interest) can help predict future market trends, at least in the short term. It assumes that
market psychology influences trading and can predict when stocks will rise or fall. The risk of market timing based
on technical analysis is that charts may not accurately predict future price movements. Current prices of securities
may reflect all information known about the security and day-to-day changes in market prices of securities may
follow random patterns and may not be predictable with any reliable degree of accuracy.
Sources of Information
To facilitate investment decisions, we may obtain information from a variety of sources including but not limited
to financial publications and the media; inspections of corporate activities and entities; research materials provided
by others; corporate rating services; annual reports; prospectuses; and filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as well as company press releases. The material risks of using such information include incomplete
filings, inaccurate ratings, and potential misinformation.
Investment Strategies
The investment strategies used to implement any investment advice given to the clients include long-term
purchases (securities held at least a year); short term purchases (securities sold within a year); trading (securities
sold within 30 days); short sales; margin transactions and option writing, including covered options, uncovered
options, or spreading strategies.
Investment Risk
General Investment Risk: ACP Capital strives to produce investment returns that will meet or exceed major indices
within the realm of publicly traded equities and fixed income investments. Our portfolio management process
considers risk tolerance and investment time horizon. However, Clients should understand that investing in
securities involves the risk of loss that they should be prepared to bear. Investments, unlike savings and checking
accounts at a bank, are not insured by the government to protect against market losses. Different market instrument
carry different types and degrees of risk, and you should familiarize yourself with the risks involved in the
particular market instruments you intend to invest in.
Loss of Value: There can be no assurance that a specific investment will achieve its investment objectives and past
performance should not be seen as a guide to future returns. The value of investments and the income derived may
fall as well as rise and investors may not recoup the original amount invested. Investments may also be affected
by any changes in exchange control regulation, tax laws, withholding taxes, international, political, and economic
developments, and government, economic or monetary policies.
Interest Rate Risk: Fixed income securities and funds that invest in bonds and other fixed income securities may
ACP Capital Management, LLC - Form ADV Part 2 - Brochure
17
fall in value if interest rates change. Generally, the prices of debt securities rise when interest rates fall, and their
prices fall when interest rates rise. Longer term debt securities are usually more sensitive to interest rate changes.
Credit Risk: Investments in bonds and other fixed income securities are subject to the risk that the issuer(s) may
not make required interest payments. An issuer suffering an adverse change in its financial condition could lower
the credit quality of a security, leading to greater price volatility of the security. A lowering of the credit rating of
a security may also offset the security's liquidity, making it more difficult to sell. Funds investing in lower quality
debt securities are more susceptible to these problems and their value may be more volatile.
Performance is subject to market fluctuations. Past performance is not indicative of future results, nor is there any
assurance that the selected investments will achieve the investment objectives sought by the client.
Item 9. – Disciplinary Information
Investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would
be material to your evaluation of an adviser or the integrity of the adviser’s management. Adviser has no
information applicable to this Item. Please visit www.adviserinfo.sec.gov at any time to view ACP Capital’s
registration information and any applicable disciplinary action.
Item 10. – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Associated Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm may also be registered representatives with
ACP Securities, LLC, a securities broker-dealer, and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
("FINRA") and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). These persons will receive commission-
based compensation in connection with the purchase and sale of securities, including 12b-1 fees for the sale of
investment company products. Compensation earned by these persons in their capacities as registered representatives
is separate and in addition to our advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing
investment advice on behalf of our firm who are registered representatives have an incentive to effect securities
transactions for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on your needs. Clients of our firm
have the option to purchase investment products that we recommend through other brokers and agents that are not
affiliated with our firm. ACP Capital has policies and procedures in place to monitor all Client transactions and all
Client transaction costs will be disclosed, are appropriate and consistent with our fiduciary duty to the Client.
Commodity Pool Operator, Commodity Trading Adviser, Futures Commission Merchant
Registration
Neither Adviser nor its management persons or associated persons are registered or associated with the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a futures commission merchant (“FCM”), a commodity pool operator
(“CPO”) or a commodity trading advisor (“CTA”) or an associated person of the foregoing entities.
Other – Financial Affiliates
ACP Capital is affiliated with ACP Securities, LLC through common control and ownership. ACP Securities, LLC
is a securities broker-dealer, and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the
Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). ACP Securities, LLC (“ACP Securities”), a securities broker-
dealer and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor Protection
Corporation, and its custodian and clearing firm, Pershing, LLC (“Pershing”). ACP Securities, LLC is affiliated
with our firm through common control and ownership.
ACP Capital Management, LLC - Form ADV Part 2 - Brochure
18
There is a conflict in that ACP Capital will have a preference to execute brokerage transactions through ACP
Securities, LLC. However, the Adviser will consider other broker/dealers who may be able to provide better
execution. ACP Capital will refer clients to ACP Securities, LLC only if ACP Securities LLC is properly registered
in the client's state of residence.
Item 11. – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal
Trading
Description of Our Code of Ethics
ACP Capital has adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) to address investment advisory conduct. The Code focuses
primarily on fiduciary duty, personal securities transactions, insider trading, gifts, and conflicts of interest. The
Code includes ACP Capital's policies and procedures developed to protect Client’s interests in relation to the
following topics:
The duty at all times to place the interests of Clients first;
The requirement that all personal securities transactions be conducted in such a manner as to be consistent
with the code of ethics.
The responsibility to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or misuse of an employee’s position
of trust and responsibility;
The fiduciary principle that information concerning the identity of security holdings and financial
circumstances of Clients is confidential; and
The principle that independence in the investment decision-making process is paramount.
A copy of ACP Capital's Code of Ethics is available upon request to the Chief Compliance Officer at ACP Capital's
principal office address.
Personal Trading Practices
At times ACP Capital and/or its Advisory Representatives may take positions in the same securities as Clients,
which may pose a conflict of interest with Clients. ACP Capital and its Advisory Representatives will generally
be “last in” and “last out” for the trading day when trading occurs in close proximity to Client trades. We will not
violate our fiduciary responsibilities to our Clients. Front running (trading shortly ahead of Clients) is prohibited.
Should a conflict occur because of materiality (i.e., a thinly traded stock), disclosure will be made to the Client(s)
at the time of trading. Incidental trading not deemed to be a conflict (i.e., a purchase or sale which is minimal in
relation to the total outstanding value, and as such would have negligible effect on the market price), would not be
disclosed at the time of trading.
Investment Banking Activities
During its investment banking or other activities, ACP Securities, LLC and its affiliates may acquire confidential
or material non-public information. ACP Capital will not be free to divulge to clients, or to act upon, such
information with respect to its management of client accounts.
There may be periods when ACP Securities, LLC or its affiliates may not be able to effect for client accounts
certain types of transactions in securities of companies for which ACP Securities, LLC or its affiliates is performing
investment banking or other services.
For example, during certain periods when ACP Securities, LLC is engaged in an underwriting or other distribution
ACP Capital Management, LLC - Form ADV Part 2 - Brochure
19
of securities of a company, it may be prohibited from effecting the purchase or sale of certain securities of that
company for any of ACP Capital's advisory clients. In connection with its investment banking activities, ACP
Securities, LLC may receive underwriting fees or other compensation from issuers of securities purchased, held,
or sold in clients' accounts.
In addition, ACP Capital may be prohibited from purchasing certain securities for certain clients who are employed
in the brokerage or financial services industries.
ACP Capital its affiliates, and their officers, directors, and employees may give different advice, take different
action, or hold or deal in different securities for any other client or account, including ACP Capital's and ACP
Securities, LLC's own accounts or those of their affiliates, from the advice that they give, action they take, or
securities they hold or deal for clients' accounts. Such transactions would be based on different investment
objectives.
Outsourced Compliance Officer
ACP Capital has outsourced the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) responsibilities to a third-party firm, which
could create a conflict of interest if the outsourced CCO has other clients or business relationships that could impact
their ability to provide unbiased compliance oversight for ACP Capital. Carlos Gonzalez, the firm’s Chief
Compliance Officer, serves as outsourced Compliance Officer. We do not believe that the relationship creates a
conflict with ACP Capital because Mr. Gonzalez does not manage investments with any FINRA registered Broker-
Dealers or State or SEC/State Registered Investment Advisors. Mr. Gonzalez is a Consultant of Cima Financial
Regulation Consultants, which provides Regulatory Compliance, Anti-Money Laundering, and Financial
Operations consulting services.
Item 12. – Brokerage Practices
Clients can select their custodian or broker/dealer of their choice for custody and transaction execution. If a client
selects their custodian/broker-dealer ACP Capital will use this broker/dealer for transaction execution. As such and
because most broker dealers do not allow clients to trade away, ACP Capital may be limited in its ability to seek
other trading counterparties and obtain best execution. On these instances, ACP Capital will rely on the
broker/dealer’s best execution policies and procedures.
As previously mentioned in this brochure, because of our affiliations when a clients requests that we recommend a
broker/custodian for their securities we recommend ACP Securities and Pershing, LLC. The practice of executing
transactions for advisory accounts through ACP Securities, LLC, our affiliate, poses a conflict of interest as we will
benefit our affiliate by increasing the transactions and assets under their management which generates greater
revenues for them. Associated Persons with our firm who are licensed as registered representatives or otherwise have
a financial interest in ACP Securities, LLC, may receive commissions and other transaction-related compensation
from ACP Securities, LLC in connection with client securities transactions. We have adopted compliance procedures
and a code of ethics to address all possible conflicts of interest and to require our Associated Persons to adhere to our
fiduciary duty of fair dealing with clients. Please Section 10 above
Execution of Transactions
When selecting brokerage firms to recommend to our clients, we consider such firms' reputation, execution
capabilities, commission rates, and the ease of trading and management of clients’ accounts by having the majority
of client accounts resident at the same brokerage firm. Please be aware thatprice is not the sole factor we consider
in evaluating best execution. We also consider the quality of the brokerage services provided, the firm's reputation,
ACP Capital Management, LLC - Form ADV Part 2 - Brochure
20
execution capabilities, commission rates, and responsiveness to our clients and our firm.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
We do not receive client referrals from broker-dealers in exchange for cash or other compensation, such as
brokerage services or research.
Directed Brokerage
In limited circumstances, and at our discretion, some clients may instruct our firm to use one or more particular
brokers for the transactions in their accounts. If you choose to direct our firm to use a particular broker, you should
understand that this will prevent our firm from effectively negotiating brokerage commissions on your behalf. This
practice may also prevent our firm from obtaining favorable net price and execution. Thus, when directing
brokerage business, you should consider whether the commission expenses, execution, clearance, and settlement
capabilities that you will obtain through your broker are adequately favorable in comparison to those that we would
otherwise obtain for you.
Block Trades
We combine multiple orders for shares of the same securities purchased for advisory accounts we manage (this
practice is commonly referred to as “block trading”). We will then distribute a portion of the shares to participating
accounts in a fair and equitable manner. The distribution of the shares purchased is typically proportionate to the
size of the account, but it is not based on account performance or the amount or structure of management fees.
Subject to our discretion regarding factual and market conditions, when we combine orders, each participating
account pays an average price per share for all transactions and pays a proportionate share of all transaction costs.
Accounts owned by our firm or Associated Persons may participate in block trading with your accounts; however,
they will not be given preferential treatment.
Item 13. – Reviews of Accounts and Reports to Clients
Accounts are typically reviewed by the Chief Compliance Officer or designee, Esteban Endere, or Randall S. White
on a periodic basis or as needed due to market conditions or transactional activity, amongst other items
Factors Triggering a Review
There are no specific triggering factors leading to a review.
Client Reports
Clients of the Adviser receive at least quarterly reports from their qualified Custodian. The Adviser urges clients
to compare the statements received from their custodian with any consolidated report provided by the Adviser.
Clients should immediately inform the Adviser of any discrepancy noted between the custodian records and the
reports clients received from the Adviser.
ACP Capital Management, LLC - Form ADV Part 2 - Brochure
21
Item 14. – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Promotion Fees Paid
The SEC's Marketing Rule 275.206(4)-1 permits ACP Capital to compensate individuals and/or entities for client
referrals. Any Promoter Agreements will comply with the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and applicable state
regulations, as well as all applicable federal and state laws. Promoters are required to provide full written
disclosures to prospective clients that describe the terms and fee arrangements between the adviser and the
Promoter prior to or at the time of entering into the advisory agreement. Currently, ACP Capital does pay certain
individuals for promotion services.
Item 15. – Custody
ACP Capital does maintain custody of any client funds or securities. All assets are typically held by qualified
custodians, which means the custodians provide account statements directly to clients at their address of record.
Clients receive monthly or quarterly statements from the broker-dealer, bank, or other qualified custodian that
holds and maintains the client’s investment assets. Each client should carefully review the information provided
by their broker or custodian and compare it with the information provided by ACP Capital when evaluating account
performance, securities holdings, and transactions. The client should alert ACP Capital of any discrepancies noted,
as applicable.
Item 16. – Investment Discretion
ACP Capital offers Portfolio Management Services to its advisory clients on both a discretionary and non-
discretionary basis. ACP Capital will manage client accounts on a discretionary basis if the client has granted
discretionary authority in the client advisory agreement that has been executed by the client. Discretionary
authority extends to the type and amount of securities to be bought and sold and does not require advance client
approval. ACP Capital does not have the ability to withdraw funds or securities from the client’s account.
Clients may limit our discretionary authority if they wish by, for example, setting a limit on the type of securities
that can be purchased for your account. Clients must provide restrictions or guidelines in writing.
In a non-discretionary account, an Associated Person of ACP Capital recommends the purchase or sale of securities
for review and approval by their clients. ACP Capital will only purchase or sell securities which have been
approved by clients in advance.
The specific terms of the investment advisory relationship between each client and ACP Capital are set forth in the
client's Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”).
Item 17. – Voting Client Securities
ACP Capital does not vote proxies on behalf of clients. It is the client's responsibility to vote proxies. Clients will
receive proxy materials directly from the custodian. Questions about proxies may be made via the contact
information on the cover page.
ACP Capital Management, LLC - Form ADV Part 2 - Brochure

Item 18. – Financial Information
The Adviser has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet client contractual and fiduciary
commitments. Also, the Adviser has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
