These services are described below. Investment Management Services - Winnacle Wealth provides customized investment advisory solutions for its clients. This is achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and related advisory services. Winnacle Wealth works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. Winnacle Wealth will then construct an investment portfolio, consisting of low-cost, diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize individual stocks, bonds, and options contracts to meet the needs of its clients. The Advisor may retain certain legacy investments based on portfolio fit and/or tax considerations. Winnacle Wealth’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re- allocate positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. Winnacle Wealth will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Advisor. Winnacle Wealth evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence process. Winnacle Wealth may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. Winnacle Wealth may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement. Winnacle Wealth may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance. Winnacle Wealth may review disclosure documents to provide additional due diligence and oversight on model portfolios, including evaluation of the model portfolio’s objectives, strategies, risk characteristics, and other relevant considerations. As a result of this review and related adjustments, certain client accounts with similar investment Winnacle Wealth, LLC 200 W. Hwy 6, Suite 330, Waco, TX 76712 Phone: 254-776-8400 Page 4 http://winnaclewealth.com objectives and risk profiles may be assigned to the same model portfolio. Winnacle Wealth may also utilize the services of Simplicity Wealth for creating and monitoring investment portfolios and/or models. Winnacle Wealth pays for access to Simplicity Wealth model allocations, client communication information and other relevant client information. Simplicity Wealth model allocations executed by Winnacle Wealth are processed through Altruist’s custodial platform. At no time will Winnacle Wealth accept or maintain custody of a client’s funds or securities, except for the limited authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices. Financial Planning Services Winnacle Wealth will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients as part of its wealth management services. Winnacle Wealth will also provide standalone financial planning services pursuant to a written financial planning agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a client’s financial situation, depending on their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance needs and other areas of a client’s financial situation. A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example, recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs. Winnacle Wealth may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly. Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through the Advisor. C. Client Account Management Prior to engaging Winnacle Wealth to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These services may include: ● Establishing an Investment Strategy – Winnacle Wealth, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives. ● Asset Allocation – Winnacle Wealth will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client. ● Portfolio Construction – Winnacle Wealth will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client. ● Investment Management and Supervision – Winnacle Wealth will provide investment management and ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.

Winnacle Wealth, LLC 200 W. Hwy 6, Suite 330, Waco, TX 76712 Phone: 254-776-8400 Page 6 http://winnaclewealth.com A. Fees for Advisory Services Wealth Management Services Investment advisory fees are paid monthly in arrears pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the average daily balance of assets under management at the end of the month. Investment advisory fees range from 0.10% to 1.30% annually based on several factors, including: the scope and complexity of the services to be provided; the level of assets to be managed; and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific reporting requirements, portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee. The investment advisory fee in the first month of service is prorated from the date of funding the account[s] to the end of the first month. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by Winnacle Wealth will be independently valued by the Custodian. Winnacle Wealth will not have the authority or responsibility to value portfolio securities. The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and other related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs. Comprehensive Financial Planning Services Comprehensive Financial Planning is charged at a total cost between $3,000 and $10,000 for a four-month planning period. An upfront deposit is required, in an amount equal to $1,200, with the remaining balance charged equally at $1,200 a month across months two, three, and four, with any remaining balance to be paid at the time the plan is delivered to the client. The fee may be negotiable in scenarios where the client wishes to begin Investment Management Services prior to the conclusion of the four-month period. Fees for this service may be paid by credit card or check. This service may be terminated with 30 days’ notice. The fee for Comprehensive Financial Planning covers the development and delivery of the financial plan. This work will commence immediately after the fee is paid and will be completed and delivered within four months of the initial engagement. At no time do we require prepayment of fees 6 or more months in advance or $1,200 of delivering the requested services. B. Fee Billing Wealth Management Services Investment advisory fees are calculated by the Custodian or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Custodian provides an invoice to the Client indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted from the Client account[s] for the respective month end date. The amount due is calculated by applying the average daily balance for the month multiplied by the annual fee percentage and dividing by the number of days in the year to arrive at the daily rate; the daily rate is then multiplied to the number of days for the month being billed. Clients will be provided with a monthly statement from the Custodian reflecting the deduction of the investment advisory fee. Upon request, the Advisor will provide a copy of the invoice detailing the fee calculation from the Custodian’s platform. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Winnacle Wealth to be paid directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian. Comprehensive Financial Planning Services Financial planning fees for hourly fee engagements are invoiced by the Advisor and are due upon completion of the agreed upon deliverable[s]. Fees for fixed fee engagements require an upfront deposit, in an amount equal to $1,200, with the remaining balance charged equally at $1,200 a month across months two, three, and four, with any remaining balance to be paid at the time the plan is delivered to the client. C. Other Fees and Expenses Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Winnacle Wealth, in connection with Winnacle Wealth, LLC 200 W. Hwy 6, Suite 330, Waco, TX 76712 Phone: 254-776-8400 Page 7 http://winnaclewealth.com investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and securities execution fees charged by the Custodian, as applicable. The Advisor's recommended Custodian may charge securities transaction fees for ETFs, and equity trades in a client’s account. The Custodian typically charges for mutual fund trades and other types of investments. The fees charged by Winnacle Wealth are separate and distinct from these custody and execution fees. In addition, all fees paid to Winnacle Wealth for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of Winnacle Wealth, but would not receive the services provided by Winnacle Wealth which are designed, among other things, to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by Winnacle Wealth to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information. D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination Wealth Management Services Winnacle Wealth may be compensated for its wealth management services at the end of the month after services are rendered. Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment advisory agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent. Comprehensive Financial Planning Services Winnacle Wealth requires an advance deposit as described above. Either party may terminate the financial planning agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the financial planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Client shall be billed for [actual hours logged on the planning project times the contractual hourly rate or in the case of a fixed fee engagement, the percentage of the engagement scope completed by the Advisor. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid planning fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the month. The Client’s financial planning agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent. E. Compensation for Sales of Securities Winnacle Wealth does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for securities transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above. Certain Advisory Persons are also licensed as independent insurance professionals. As an independent insurance professional, the Advisory Person may earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance products they sell to you. Insurance commissions earned by these persons are separate and in addition to our advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because the person providing investment advice on behalf of the Advisor who is also an insurance agent has an incentive to recommend insurance products to you for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on your needs. However, you are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through any Advisory Person affiliated with the Advisor. Winnacle Wealth, LLC 200 W. Hwy 6, Suite 330, Waco, TX 76712 Phone: 254-776-8400 Page 8 http://winnaclewealth.com Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management Winnacle Wealth does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by Winnacle Wealth are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held by any Client. Winnacle Wealth does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its clients. Item 7 – Types of Clients Winnacle Wealth offers investment advisory services to individuals and high net worth individuals. The amount of each type of Client is available on Winnacle Wealth’s Form ADV Part 1A. These amounts may change over time and are updated at least annually by the Advisor. Winnacle Wealth generally does not impose a minimum relationship size. Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss A. Methods of Analysis Winnacle Wealth primarily employs a fundamental and cyclical analysis methods in developing investment strategies for its clients. Research and analysis from Winnacle Wealth are derived from numerous sources, including financial media companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities, including annual reports, prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others. Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. This criteria consists generally of ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment with a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts. Cyclical analysis is similar to technical analysis in that it involves the analysis of market conditions at a macro (entire market/economy) or micro (company specific) level, rather than the overall fundamental analysis of the health of the particular company that Winnacle Wealth is recommending. The risks with cyclical analysis are similar to those of technical analysis. As noted above, Winnacle Wealth generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its clients, as consistent with their financial goals. Winnacle Wealth will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year but may hold for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times, Winnacle Wealth may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class. B. Risk of Loss Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Winnacle Wealth will assist Clients in determining an appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a client will meet their investment goals. While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to Winnacle Wealth, LLC 200 W. Hwy 6, Suite 330, Waco, TX 76712 Phone: 254-776-8400 Page 9 http://winnaclewealth.com determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts. Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon, tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a client’s account. Client participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the analysis of a client’s account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals or other factors that may affect this analysis. The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies: Market Risks The value of a client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall financial markets. ETF Risks The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a large bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later. Bond Risks Bonds are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e. the risk that bond prices will fall if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to maturity, and the coupon rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e. the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower rate than was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e. the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at a rate that exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk, i.e. the risk associated with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the company defaulting on its repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e. the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6) liquidity risks, i.e. the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the bond. Mutual Fund Risks The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day. Options Contracts Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of time. Option contracts are leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single contract to control many shares of an underlying stock. This leverage can compound gains or losses. Winnacle Wealth may utilize buffered exchange-traded funds (“Buffered ETFs”) as part of a client’s investment strategy. Buffered ETFs are designed to provide investors with a predetermined level of downside protection, or “buffer,” against market losses over a specified outcome period, typically in exchange for a cap on upside participation. These investments generally employ options strategies and other derivatives to seek to achieve their Winnacle Wealth, LLC 200 W. Hwy 6, Suite 330, Waco, TX 76712 Phone: 254-776-8400 Page 10 http://winnaclewealth.com stated objectives. Buffered ETFs are subject to a variety of risks and limitations, including, but not limited to: • Limited Upside Participation – Investors may forgo gains above a predetermined cap or maximum return during the outcome period. • Outcome Period Risk – The stated buffer and cap are generally designed to apply only if shares are purchased at the beginning and held through the end of the specified outcome period. Investors purchasing or selling shares before the outcome period ends may experience returns that differ significantly from the intended results. • Market Risk – Buffered ETFs remain subject to market fluctuations and may still experience losses beyond the stated buffer amount. • Derivatives Risk – The use of options and other derivatives may increase complexity and expose investors to additional risks, including counterparty and pricing risks. • Liquidity Risk – Shares of Buffered ETFs may trade at premiums or discounts to net asset value and may be subject to limited trading liquidity during certain market conditions. • Issuer and Counterparty Risk – The effectiveness of the buffer strategy may depend on the financial condition and performance of counterparties involved in derivative transactions. Buffered ETFs are not guaranteed investments, and there can be no assurance that a Buffered ETF will successfully achieve its investment objective or provide the intended level of downside protection. Clients should carefully consider the risks, costs, and structural features associated with Buffered ETFs before investing. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss these risks with the Advisor. Item 9 – Disciplinary Information Securities laws require an advisor to disclose any instances where the Advisor or its Advisory Persons have been found liable in a legal, regulatory, civil or arbitration matter that alleges violation of securities and other statutes; fraud; false statements or omissions; theft, embezzlement or wrongful taking of property; bribery, forgery, counterfeiting, or extortion; and/or dishonest, unfair or unethical practices. In July 2002, Mr. Phillip Castle was subject to an administrative order with the SEC whereby Mr. Castle was censured and fined due to failure to properly disclose material information related to private placement investments. You may independently view the background of Mr. Castle on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with Mr. Castle’s name or Individual CRD# 2619152. You may independently view the background of the Advisor on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the firm name or the Advisor’s CRD# 317181. Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Insurance Agency Affiliations As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are also licensed insurance professionals. Implementations of insurance recommendations are separate and apart from one’s role with Winnacle Wealth. Advisory Persons may receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the various insurance companies whose products are sold. The Advisory Person is not required to offer the products of any particular insurance company. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset regular advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest in recommending certain products of the insurance companies. Clients are under no obligation to implement any recommendations made by Advisory Persons or the Advisor. Winnacle Wealth, LLC 200 W. Hwy 6, Suite 330, Waco, TX 76712 Phone: 254-776-8400 Page 11 http://winnaclewealth.com Altruist Mr. Castle is an investor in Altruist Corp ("Altruist"), the parent company of the custodian and broker-dealer used to hold and service client assets. This creates a potential conflict of interest because Winnacle Wealth and/or its IARs may have an incentive to recommend or continue using Altruist based on their investments rather than solely considering their clients’ best interests. Clients are encouraged to review this conflict and discuss any concerns with their advisor. Simplicity Group Mr. Castle is a Partner in Simplicity Group. Simplicity Group is an insurance marketing organization and agency that recruits and trains independent insurance professionals. Certain Advisory Persons may implement insurance recommendations through Simplicity Group and one or more of the insurance companies it represents. The Advisory Person is not required to offer the products of any of these companies. This practice presents a conflict of interest as Mr. Castle may earn compensation through his ownership in Simplicity Group and through commissions earned from the sale of insurance company products. Clients are under no obligation to implement any recommendations made by the Advisory Persons or the Advisor. The Advisor does not receive any referral fees or compensation from these insurance companies. Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading A. Code of Ethics Winnacle Wealth has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with Winnacle Wealth (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to each Client. Winnacle Wealth and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of Winnacle Wealth’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at 254-776-8400 or via email at hello@winnaclewealth.com. B. Personal Trading with Material Interest Winnacle Wealth allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Winnacle Wealth does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund, nor advise an investment company. Winnacle Wealth does not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts. C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients Winnacle Wealth allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is mitigated by Winnacle Wealth requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). The Advisor has also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information. Winnacle Wealth, LLC 200 W. Hwy 6, Suite 330, Waco, TX 76712 Phone: 254-776-8400 Page 12 http://winnaclewealth.com D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client While Winnacle Wealth allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded afterwards. At no time will Winnacle Wealth, or any Supervised Person of Winnacle Wealth, transact in any security to the detriment of any Client. Item 12 – Brokerage Practices A. Recommendation of Custodian[s] Winnacle Wealth does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and execution services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client assets and authorize Winnacle Wealth to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement. Further, Winnacle Wealth does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis. Where Winnacle Wealth does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the Custodian recommended by the Advisor and will not incur any extra fee or cost associated with using a custodian not recommended by Winnacle Wealth. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is not engaged. Winnacle Wealth may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, and its reputation and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices. Winnacle Wealth typically offers investment advisory services through the custodial platform offered by Altruist Financial LLC (“Altruist”). Custody, clearing and execution services are provided by Altruist Financial LLC as a self-clearing broker-dealer. Winnacle Wealth’s clients establish brokerage accounts through Altruist. Winnacle Wealth maintains an institutional relationship with Altruist whereby Altruist provides certain benefits to Winnacle Wealth, including a fully digital account opening process, a variety of available investments, and integration with software tools that can benefit Winnacle Wealth and its clients. Winnacle Wealth participates in the Model Marketplace of Altruist LLC, an SEC- registered investment adviser and affiliate of Altruist Financial LLC. Winnacle Wealth may assign to client accounts any of the available Altruist LLC- generated portfolios, Third-Party portfolios, or other portfolios made available through Altruist Financial LLC’s Model Marketplace. All Altruist Financial LLC advisory fees for assigned portfolios are charged directly to client accounts. Winnacle Wealth has a fiduciary duty to seek the best execution for client transactions. While best execution is difficult to define and challenging to measure, there is some consensus that it does not solely mean the achievement of the best price on a given transaction. Rather, it appears to be a collective consideration of factors concerning the trade in question. Such factors include the security being traded, the price of the trade, the speed of the execution, apparent conditions in the market, and the Client’s specific needs. For example, Winnacle Wealth’s primary objectives when placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the most favorable net results, considering such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the broker. Winnacle Wealth relies on Altruist Financial LLC, as a self- clearing broker-dealer, to be responsible for ensuring the most favorable net trade results for the Client. In addition, Winnacle Wealth may not necessarily pay the lowest commission or commission equivalent, as specific transactions may involve specialized services on the broker's part. Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor: Winnacle Wealth, LLC 200 W. Hwy 6, Suite 330, Waco, TX 76712 Phone: 254-776-8400 Page 13 http://winnaclewealth.com 1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and other services. Winnacle Wealth does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian. Please see Item 14 below. 2. Brokerage Referrals - Winnacle Wealth does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with the recommendation for establishing an account. 3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where Winnacle Wealth will place trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are traded within their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). Winnacle Wealth will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian. B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades The Adviser’s primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for client accounts is to seek best execution under the circumstances, taking into consideration factors such as price, order size, market conditions, trading efficiency, timing, and any applicable custodial or operational requirements. Transactions are generally executed through the client’s designated custodian or broker-dealer. The Adviser may aggregate (“block”) trades for multiple client accounts when the Adviser believes such aggregation is consistent with its duty to seek best execution and is in the best interests of participating clients. Aggregated trades may allow for more efficient execution and may reduce overall transaction costs. When aggregated orders are executed, securities are typically allocated among participating accounts in an equitable manner based on factors such as account size, investment objectives, available cash, target allocations, and other relevant considerations. In certain circumstances, trades may not be aggregated and may instead be executed on an account-by-account basis. The Adviser may determine that separate execution is appropriate due to account restrictions, differing investment objectives, tax considerations, timing of deposits or withdrawals, liquidity constraints, or other account- specific factors. When orders for the same security are placed for multiple accounts on the same day, transactions may not be executed simultaneously or at identical prices. If aggregated orders cannot be fully executed at the same price or completed in their entirety, the Adviser will allocate the executed portion of the transaction in a manner it believes is fair and equitable over time and consistent with its fiduciary obligations. Execution prices, transaction costs, and timing may vary among client accounts, and such differences may impact account performance. The Adviser maintains policies and procedures designed to promote fair and equitable trade allocation practices and to prevent the systematic favoring or disadvantaging of any client account. However, there can be no assurance that all client accounts will receive identical execution results or investment performance. Item 13 – Review of Accounts A. Frequency of Reviews Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Advisory Persons and periodically reviewed by Mr. Castle, Chief Compliance Officer of Winnacle Wealth. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently depending on the needs of the Client. B. Causes for Reviews In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify Winnacle Wealth if changes occur in the Winnacle Wealth, LLC 200 W. Hwy 6, Suite 330, Waco, TX 76712 Phone: 254-776-8400 Page 14 http://winnaclewealth.com Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events. C. Review Reports The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than monthly from the Custodian. These brokerage statements are made available to the client via the Custodian’s online client portal. The Client is expected to establish electronic access to the Custodian’s client portal so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance. Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation A. Compensation Received by Winnacle Wealth Winnacle Wealth is a fee-based advisory firm, that is compensated solely by its clients and not from any investment product. Winnacle Wealth does not receive commissions or other compensation from investment product sponsors, or broker-dealers. Winnacle Wealth may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g. attorneys, accountants, estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its clients. Likewise, Winnacle Wealth may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third parties. Winnacle Wealth may refer its clients to third party vendors for services such as Debt Payoff and Cash Flow Management Services, Student Loan creation and consolidation, and Government Funding and Benefit Programs. If the Client engages the use of these third-party vendors, Winnacle Wealth may receive a fee from the third-party vendor. Clients are under no obligation to implement any recommendations made by the Advisory Persons or the Advisor to the third-party vendor. Altruist Model Marketplace and The Advisor Tech Collection Winnacle Wealth receives credits and reimbursements on planning tools and client management software in exchange for maintaining certain asset levels at Altruist. B. Client Referrals from Solicitors Winnacle Wealth does not engage paid solicitors for Client referrals. C. Other Compensation Certain investment adviser representatives (“IARs”) of Winnacle Wealth may participate in educational seminars, workshops, or instructional programs hosted by McLennan Community College. In connection with these activities, the participating IARs may receive one-time or periodic compensation in their capacity as instructors, guest speakers, or educators. Any such outside business activities and related compensation will be disclosed, as applicable, on the individual adviser representative’s Form U4 and corresponding Form ADV Part 2B brochure supplement in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. Winnacle Wealth reviews outside business activities to assess potential conflicts of interest and seeks to ensure that such activities do not interfere with the adviser representative’s responsibilities to clients or the firm’s fiduciary obligations. Item 15 – Custody Winnacle Wealth does not accept or maintain custody of any Client accounts, except for the authorized deduction of the Advisor’s fees. All Clients must place their assets with a “qualified custodian”. Clients are required to engage the Custodian to retain their funds and securities and direct Winnacle Wealth to utilize that Custodian for the Client’s security transactions. Clients should review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any Winnacle Wealth, LLC 200 W. Hwy 6, Suite 330, Waco, TX 76712 Phone: 254-776-8400 Page 15 http://winnaclewealth.com reports provided by Winnacle Wealth to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For more information about custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices. If the Client gives the Advisor authority to move money from one account to another account, the Advisor may have custody of those assets. In order to avoid additional regulatory requirements, the Custodian and the Advisor have adopted safeguards to ensure that the money movements are completed in accordance with the Client’s instructions. Item 16 – Investment Discretion Winnacle Wealth generally has discretion over the selection and number of securities to be bought or sold in Client accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to by Winnacle Wealth. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory agreement containing all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Winnacle Wealth will be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals. Item 17 – Voting Client Securities Winnacle Wealth does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting. Item 18 – Financial Information Neither Winnacle Wealth, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability of Winnacle Wealth to meet all obligations to its clients. Neither Winnacle Wealth, nor any of its Advisory Persons, have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise in the past ten years. Winnacle Wealth is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for services to be performed six months or more in the future.
