Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Method of Compensation and Fee Schedule
ASSET MANAGEMENT
IronOak offers discretionary direct asset management services to advisory Clients. IronOak
charges an annual investment advisory fee based on the total assets under management as
follows:
Assets Under Management
Up to $500,000
The next $500,001 - $1,000,000
The next $1,000,001 - $5,000,000
Over $5,000,000
Annual Fee

0.65%
Monthly Fee
0.1667%
0.1375%
0.0833%
0.0542%
- 5 -
This is a blended fee schedule; the asset management fee is calculated by applying different
rates to different portions of the portfolio. IronOak may group certain related Client
accounts for the purposes of achieving the minimum account size and determining the
annualized fee.
The annual fee may be negotiable. Accounts within the same household may be combined
for a reduced fee. Fees are billed monthly in arrears based on an average daily balance of
the account for the previous month. The calculation for the average daily balance is based
on the formula (A/D) x (F).
A = the sum of the daily balances in the billing period
D = number of days in the billing period
For example (based on monthly billing period)
F = monthly management fee
: the first step taken using the average-
daily-balance calculation method would be to take the average of the values of the Client’s
account over the course of the entire month. For instance 25 days at $1 million plus six
days at $500,000 averages out to approximately $903,225.80. This account would be
charged $1,387.93 for the month.

Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. Clients may
terminate their account within five (5) business days of signing the Investment Advisory
Agreement with no obligation and without penalty. Clients may terminate advisory
services with thirty (30) days written notice. For accounts opened or closed mid-billing
period, fees will be prorated based on the number of days services are provided during the
given period. All unpaid earned fees will be due to IronOak. Client shall be given thirty (30)
days prior written notice of any increase in fees. Any increase in fees will be acknowledged
in writing by both parties before any increase in said fees occurs.
SUB-ADVISOR SERVICES
IronOak may utilize the services of a Sub-Advisor to manage Clients’ investment portfolios.
IronOak will enter into agreements with other registered investment adviser firms to
provide these services. When a Sub-Advisor is engaged, the Client may incur additional
sub-advisory and platform fees. Sub-Advisor fees are deducted directly from the Client’s
account and may be deducted on a different schedule than IronOak’s advisory fees,
including quarterly in advance. Annual fees charged by a Sub-Advisor will not exceed 2.0%.
The applicable Sub-Advisor fees and the fee deduction schedule will be disclosed in the
Investment Advisory Agreement.
FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTING
IronOak charges either on an hourly or a fixed fee basis depending on the financial
planning service selected. The financial planning fee is based on complexity and unique

business days, any unearned fees will be refunded to the Client, or any unpaid earned fees

1%. The annual fee is negotiable and may be charged as a percentage of the Included Assets
or as a flat fee. Fees may be charged quarterly or monthly in arrears or in advance based on
the assets as calculated by the custodian or record keeper of the Included Assets (without
adjustments for anticipated withdrawals by Plan participants or other anticipated or
scheduled transfers or distribution of assets). If the services to be provided start any time
other than the first day of a quarter or month, the fee will be prorated based on the number
of days remaining in the quarter or month. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the end
of the billing cycle, IronOak shall be entitled to a prorated fee based on the number of days
during the fee period services were provided or Client will be due a prorated refund of fees
for days services were not provided in the billing cycle.
- 7 -
Client Payment of Fees
The fee schedule, which includes compensation of IronOak for the services is described in
detail in Schedule A of the ERISA Plan Agreement. The Plan is obligated to pay the fees;
however, the Plan Sponsor may elect to pay the fees. Client may elect to be billed directly or
have fees deducted from Plan Assets. IronOak does not reasonably expect to receive any
additional compensation, directly or indirectly, for its services under this Agreement. If
additional compensation is received, IronOak will disclose this compensation, the services
rendered, and the payer of compensation. IronOak will offset the compensation against the
fees agreed upon under the Agreement.
Investment management fees are billed monthly in arrears. Fees are usually deducted from
a designated Client account by the custodian to facilitate billing upon receipt of invoice.
The Client must consent in advance to direct debiting of their investment account.
IronOak, in its sole discretion, may charge a lesser investment advisory fee based upon
certain criteria (e.g., historical relationship, type of assets, anticipated future earning
capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amounts of assets to be managed,
related accounts, account composition, negotiations with Clients, etc.).
•
Fees for financial plans will be billed:
•
Check – to be remitted by Client to IronOak.
•
Deducted from a non-qualified account managed by IronOak. The Client must
consent in advance to direct debiting of their investment account.
Electronic Payment via ACH, Debit Card, or Credit Card (fees will be paid via a third
party payment processor in which the client will securely input payment
information and pay the advisory fee through a secure portal. IronOak will not have
continuous access to the Client’s banking information.)
Additional Client Fees Charged
Fees for ERISA services will either be deducted from Plan assets or paid directly to
IronOak. The Client must consent in advance to direct debiting of their investment account.
Custodians may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of certain mutual funds,
equities, and exchange-traded funds. These charges may include mutual fund transaction
fees, postage and handling, and miscellaneous fees.
Prepayment of Client Fees
For more details on the brokerage practices, see Item 12 of this brochure.
IronOak does not require any prepayment of fees of more than $1,200 per Client and six
months or more in advance.
Fees for financial plans are billed either quarterly in advance or 50% in advance with the
balance due upon plan delivery depending on the service selected.
Fees for ERISA 3(21) and/or 3(38) services may be billed in advance.
External Compensation for the Sale of Securities to Clients
If the Client cancels after five (5) business days, any unearned fees will be refunded to the
Client, or any unpaid earned fees will be due to IronOak.
Investment Advisor Representatives of IronOak receive external compensation sales of
investment-related products such as insurance as licensed insurance agents. From time to
- 8 -
time, they will offer clients services from those activities. Less than 5% of Mr. Munoz’s
compensation is from external compensation.
This represents a conflict of interest because it gives an incentive to recommend products
based on the commission received. As an insurance agent, they do not charge advisory fees
for the services offered through insurance carriers. This conflict is mitigated by disclosures,
procedures, and the firm’s fiduciary obligation to place the best interest of the Client first
and Clients are not required to purchase any products or services. Clients have the option
to purchase these products through another insurance agent of their choosing.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Sharing of Capital Gains
Fees are not based on a share of the capital gains or capital appreciation of managed
securities.
IronOak does not use a performance-based fee structure because of the conflict of interest.
Performance-based compensation may create an incentive for IronOak to recommend an
investment that may carry a higher degree of risk to the Client.
Item 7: Types of Clients
Description
IronOak generally provides investment advice to individuals, high net worth individuals,
trusts, estates, or charitable organizations, corporations or business entities.
Account Minimums
Client relationships vary in scope and length of service.
IronOak does not require a minimum to open an account.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
Security analysis methods may include fundamental analysis, technical analysis, charting,
and cyclical analysis. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that Clients should be
prepared to bear. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns.
Fundamental analysis concentrates on factors that determine a company’s value and
expected future earnings. This strategy would normally encourage equity purchases in
stocks that are undervalued or priced below their perceived value. The risk assumed is that
the market will fail to reach expectations of perceived value.
Technical analysis attempts to predict a future stock price or direction based on market
trends. The assumption is that the market follows discernible patterns and if these patterns
can be identified then a prediction can be made. The risk is that markets do not always
follow patterns and relying solely on this method may not take into account new patterns
that emerge over time.
Charting analysis strategy involves using and comparing various charts to predict long and
short-term performance or market trends. The risk involved in using this method is that
only past performance data is considered without using other methods to crosscheck data.
Using charting analysis without other methods of analysis would be making the
assumption that past performance will be indicative of future performance. This may not
be the case.
- 9 -
Cyclical analysis assumes that the markets react in cyclical patterns which, once identified,
can be leveraged to provide performance. The risks with this strategy are twofold: 1) the
markets do not always repeat cyclical patterns; and 2) if too many investors begin to
implement this strategy, then it changes the very cycles these investors are trying to
exploit.
In developing a financial plan for a Client, IronOak’s analysis may include cash flow
analysis, investment planning, risk management, tax planning, and estate planning. Based
on the information gathered, a detailed strategy is tailored to the Client’s specific situation.
The main sources of information include financial newspapers and magazines, annual
reports, prospectuses, and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Investment Strategy
The investment strategy for a specific Client is based upon the objectives stated by the
Client during consultations. The Client may change these objectives at any time by
providing written notice to IronOak. Each Client executes a Client profile form or similar
form that documents their objectives and their desired investment strategy.
Security Specific Material Risks
Other strategies may include long-term purchases.
• Market Risk
All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Our investment
approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investors face the following investment
risks and should discuss these risks with IronOak:
•
: The prices of securities held by mutual funds in which Clients invest
may decline in response to certain events taking place around the world, including
those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by a fund;
conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or
global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate and
commodity price fluctuations. Investors should have a long-term perspective and be
Interest-rate Risk
able to tolerate potentially sharp declines in market value.
•
: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to
fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become
Inflation Risk
less attractive, causing their market values to decline.
• Currency Risk
: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will buy more
than a dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
• Reinvestment Risk
: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the
dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also
referred to as exchange rate risk.
• Liquidity Risk
: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have
to be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e. interest rate). This
primarily relates to fixed income securities.
: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash.
Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized
product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties
are not.
- 10 -
• Management Risk:
• Equity Risk:
The advisor’s investment approach may fail to produce the
intended results. If the advisor’s assumptions regarding the performance of a
specific asset class or fund are not realized in the expected time frame, the overall
performance of the Client’s portfolio may suffer.
• Fixed Income Risk:
Equity securities tend to be more volatile than other investment choices.
The value of an individual mutual fund or ETF can be more volatile than the market
as a whole. This volatility affects the value of the Client’s overall portfolio. Small-
and mid-cap companies are subject to additional risks. Smaller companies may
experience greater volatility, higher failure rates, more limited markets, product
lines, financial resources, and less management experience than larger companies.
lower trading volume, which may
Smaller companies may also have a
disproportionately affect their market price, tending to make them fall more in
response to selling pressure than is the case with larger companies.
•
The issuer of a fixed income security may not be able to make
interest and principal payments when due. Generally, the lower the credit rating of a
security, the greater the risk that the issuer will default on its obligation. If a rating
agency gives a debt security a lower rating, the value of the debt security will
decline because investors will demand a higher rate of return. As nominal interest
rates rise, the value of fixed income securities held by a fund is likely to decrease. A
Investment Companies Risk:
nominal interest rate is the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate.
• Foreign Securities Risk:
When a Client invests in open-end mutual funds or ETFs,
the Client indirectly bears their proportionate share of any fees and expenses
payable directly by those funds. Therefore, the Client will incur higher expenses,
which may be duplicative. In addition, the Client’s overall portfolio may be affected
by losses of an underlying fund and the level of risk arising from the investment
practices of an underlying fund (such as the use of derivatives). ETFs are also
subject to the following risks: (i) an ETF’s shares may trade at a market price that is
above or below their net asset value or (ii) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted
if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are de-
listed from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which
are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally. Adviser has
no control over the risks taken by the underlying funds in which Client invests.
• Long-term purchases
Funds in which Clients invest may invest in foreign
securities. Foreign securities are subject to additional risks not typically associated
with investments in domestic securities. These risks may include, among others,
currency risk, country risks (political, diplomatic, regional conflicts, terrorism, war,
social and economic instability, currency devaluations and policies that have the
effect of limiting or restricting foreign investment or the movement of assets),
different trading practices, less government supervision, less publicly available
information, limited trading markets and greater volatility. To the extent that
underlying funds invest in issuers located in emerging markets, the risk may be
heightened by political changes, changes in taxation, or currency controls that could
adversely affect the values of these investments. Emerging markets have been more
volatile than the markets of developed countries with more mature economies.
: Long-term investments are those vehicles purchased with the
intension of being held for more than one year. Typically, the expectation of the
- 11 -
• Trading risk
investment is to increase in value so that it can eventually be sold for a profit. In
addition, there may be an expectation for the investment to provide income. One of
the biggest risks associated with long-term investments is volatility, the fluctuations
in the financial markets that can cause investments to lose value.
: Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There is no
assurance that the investment objective of any fund or investment will be achieved.

The risks associated with utilizing Sub-Advisors include:
o
Manager Risk
•
Sub-Advisor fails to execute the stated investment strategy
o
Business Risk
•
Sub-Advisor has financial or regulatory problems
The specific risks associated with the portfolios of the Sub-Advisor’s which is
disclosed in the Sub-Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2.

Criminal or Civil Actions
Administrative Enforcement Proceedings
IronOak and its management have not been involved in any criminal or civil action.
Self-Regulatory Organization Enforcement Proceedings
IronOak and its management have not been involved in administrative enforcement
proceedings.
IronOak and its management have not been involved in legal or disciplinary events that are
material to a Client’s or prospective Client’s evaluation of IronOak or the integrity of its

Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Broker-Dealer or Representative Registration
Futures or Commodity Registration
IronOak is not registered as a broker- dealer and no affiliated representatives of IronOak
are registered representatives of a broker-dealer.
Material Relationships Maintained by this Advisory Business and Conflicts of Interest
Neither IronOak nor its affiliated representatives are registered or have an application
pending to register as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or a
commodity trading advisor.
Mr. Munoz has a financial affiliated business as an insurance agent with IronOak Insurance.
Less than 5% of his time is spent on this activity. He will offer Clients services from this
activity. As an insurance agent he may receive separate yet typical compensation. This
practice represents a conflict of interest because it gives an incentive to recommend
products based on the commission received. This conflict is mitigated by disclosures,
procedures and the firm’s fiduciary obligation to place the best interest of the Client first
and the Clients are not required to purchase any products or services. Clients have the
Recommendations or Selections of Other Investment Advisors and Conflicts of Interest
option to purchase products or services through another insurance agent of their choosing.
IronOak may also utilize the services of a Sub-Advisor to manage Clients’ investment
portfolios. Sub-Advisors will maintain the models or investment strategies agreed upon
- 12 -
between Sub-Advisor and IronOak. Sub-Advisors execute all trades on behalf of IronOak in
Client accounts. IronOak will be responsible for the overall direct relationship with the
Client. IronOak retains the authority to terminate the Sub-Advisor relationship at IronOak’s
discretion. IronOak ensures that before selecting other advisors for Client that the other
advisors are properly licensed or registered as an investment advisor.
In addition to the authority granted to IronOak under the Agreement, Client will grant
IronOak full discretionary authority and authorizes IronOak to select and appoint one or
more independent investment advisors (“Advisors”) to provide investment advisory
services to Client without prior consultation with or the prior consent of Client. Such
Advisors shall have all of the same authority relating to the management of Client’s
investment accounts as is granted to IronOak in the Agreement. In addition, at IronOak’s
discretion, IronOak may grant such Advisors full authority to further delegate such
discretionary investment authority to additional Advisors.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics Description
include employees and/or
independent
The affiliated persons (affiliated persons
contractors) of IronOak have committed to a Code of Ethics (“Code”). The purpose of our
Code is to set forth standards of conduct expected of IronOak affiliated persons and
addresses conflicts that may arise. The Code defines acceptable behavior for affiliated
persons of IronOak. The Code reflects IronOak and its supervised persons’ responsibility to
act in the best interest of their Client.
One area which the Code addresses is when affiliated persons buy or sell securities for
their personal accounts and how to mitigate any conflict of interest with our Clients. We do
not allow any affiliated persons to use non-public material information for their personal
profit or to use internal research for their personal benefit in conflict with the benefit to
our Clients.
IronOak’s policy prohibits any person from acting upon or otherwise misusing non-public
or inside information. No advisory representative or other affiliated person, officer or
director of IronOak may recommend any transaction in a security or its derivative to
advisory Clients or engage in personal securities transactions for a security or its
derivatives if the advisory representative possesses material, non-public information
regarding the security.
IronOak’s Code is based on the guiding principle that the interests of the Client are our top
priority. IronOak’s officers, directors, advisors, and other affiliated persons have a fiduciary
duty to our Clients and must diligently perform that duty to maintain the complete trust
and confidence of our Clients. When a conflict arises, it is our obligation to put the Client’s
interests over the interests of either affiliated persons or the company.
The Code applies to “access” persons. “Access” persons are affiliated persons who have
access to non-public information regarding any Clients' purchase or sale of securities, or
non-public information regarding the portfolio holdings of any reportable fund, who are
involved in making securities recommendations to Clients, or who have access to such
recommendations that are non-public.
IronOak will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any Client or prospective Client upon
request.
- 13 -
Investment Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest and Conflict of
Interest
IronOak and its affiliated persons do not recommend to Clients securities in which we have
a material financial interest.
Advisory Firm Purchase of Same Securities Recommended to Clients and Conflicts of
Interest
IronOak and its affiliated persons may buy or sell securities that are also held by Clients. In
order to mitigate conflicts of interest such as trading ahead of Client transactions, affiliated
persons are required to disclose all reportable securities transactions as well as provide
IronOak with copies of their brokerage statements.
The Chief Compliance Officer of IronOak is Nicholas Munoz . He reviews all trades of the
affiliated persons each quarter. The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal
trading of affiliated persons does not affect the markets and that Clients of the firm receive
preferential treatment over associated persons’ transactions.
Client Securities Recommendations or Trades and Concurrent Advisory Firm
Securities Transactions and Conflicts of Interest
IronOak does not maintain a firm proprietary trading account and does not have a material
financial interest in any securities being recommended and therefore no conflicts of
interest exist. However, affiliated persons may buy or sell securities at the same time they
buy or sell securities for Clients. In order to mitigate conflicts of interest such as front
running, affiliated persons are required to disclose all reportable securities transactions as
well as provide IronOak with copies of their brokerage statements.
The Chief Compliance Officer of IronOak is Nicholas Munoz . He reviews all employee
trades each quarter. The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of
affiliated persons does not affect the markets and that Clients of the firm receive
preferential treatment over associated persons’ transactions.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Factors Used to Select Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions
IronOak will recommend the use of a particular broker-dealer based on their duty to seek
best execution for the client, meaning they have an obligation to obtain the most favorable
terms for a client under the circumstances. The determination of what may constitute best
execution and price in the execution of a securities transaction by a broker involves a
number of considerations and is subjective. Factors affecting brokerage selection include
the overall direct net economic result to the portfolios, the efficiency with which the
transaction is affected, the ability to effect the transaction where a large block is involved,
the operational facilities of the broker-dealer, the value of an ongoing relationship with
such broker and the financial strength and stability of the broker. IronOak will select
appropriate brokers based on a number of factors including but not limited to their
relatively low transaction fees and reporting ability. IronOak relies on its broker to provide
its execution services at the best prices available. Lower fees for comparable services may
be available from other sources. Clients pay for any and all custodial fees in addition to the
advisory fee charged by IronOak. IronOak does not receive any portion of the trading fees.
- 14 -
• Directed Brokerage
IronOak will recommend the use of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc,
• Best Execution
In circumstances where a Client directs IronOak to use a certain broker-dealer,
IronOak still has a fiduciary duty to its Clients. The following may apply with
Directed Brokerage: IronOak's inability to negotiate commissions, to obtain volume
discounts, there may be a disparity in commission charges among Clients and
conflicts of interest arising from brokerage firm referrals. The firm may be unable to
achieve most favorable execution of client transactions, and this practice may cost
clients more money.
• Soft Dollar Arrangements
Investment advisors who manage or supervise Client portfolios have a fiduciary
obligation of best execution. The determination of what may constitute best
execution and price in the execution of a securities transaction by a broker involves
a number of considerations and is subjective. Factors affecting brokerage selection
include the overall direct net economic result to the portfolios, the efficiency with
which the transaction is effected, the ability to affect the transaction where a large
block is involved, the operational facilities of the broker-dealer, the value of an
ongoing relationship with such broker and the financial strength and stability of the
broker. The firm does not receive any portion of the trading fees.
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines soft dollar practices as
arrangement under which products or services other than execution services are
obtained by IronOak from or through a broker-dealer in exchange for directing
Client transactions to the broker-dealer. As permitted by Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, IronOak receives economic benefits as a result of
commissions generated from securities transactions by the broker-dealer from the
accounts of IronOak. These benefits include both proprietary research from the
broker and other research written by third parties.
A conflict of interest exists when IronOak receives soft dollars. This conflict is
mitigated by the fact that IronOak has a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best
interest of its Clients and the services received are beneficial to all Clients.
• Brokerage for Client Referrals
IronOak utilizes the services of custodial broker dealers. Economic benefits are
received by IronOak which would not be received if IronOak did not give investment
advice to Clients. These benefits include: A dedicated trading desk, a dedicated
service group and an account services manager dedicated to IronOak's accounts,
ability to conduct "block" Client trades, electronic download of trades, balances and
positions, duplicate and batched Client statements, and the ability to have advisory
fees directly deducted from Client accounts.
Aggregating Securities Transactions for Client Accounts
IronOak does not receive client referrals from any custodian or third party in
exchange for using that broker-dealer or third party.
IronOak is authorized in its discretion to aggregate purchases and sales and other
transactions made for the account with purchases and sales and transactions in the same
securities for other Clients of IronOak. All Clients participating in the aggregated order shall
receive an average share price with all other transaction costs shared on a pro-rated basis.
- 15 -
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Schedule for Periodic Review of Client Accounts or Financial Plans and Advisory
Persons Involved
Account reviews are performed quarterly by the Chief Compliance Officer of IronOak.
Account reviews are performed more frequently when market conditions dictate. Reviews
of Client accounts include, but are not limited to, a review of Client documented risk
tolerance, ensuring accounts are aligned with risk tolerance and goals, review target bans
of each asset class to identify if there is an opportunity for rebalancing and review accounts
at least once a year for tax loss harvesting opportunities.
Review of Client Accounts on Non-Periodic Basis
Financial plans generated are updated as requested by the Client and pursuant to a new or
amended agreement, IronOak suggests updating at least annually.
Content of Client Provided Reports and Frequency
Other conditions that may trigger a review of Clients’ accounts are changes in the tax laws,
new investment information, and changes in a Client's own situation.
Clients receive written account statements no less than monthly for managed accounts.
Account statements are issued by IronOak’s custodian. Client receives confirmations of
each transaction in account from Custodian and an additional statement during any month
in which a transaction occurs.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Economic Benefits Provided to the Advisory Firm from External Sources and Conflicts
of Interest
IronOak receives additional economic benefits from external sources as described above in
Item 12.
IronOak receives a portion of the annual management fees collected by the TPM(s) to
whom IronOak refers Clients.
Advisory Firm Payments for Client Referrals
This situation creates a conflict of interest because IronOak and/or its Investment Advisor
Representative have an incentive to decide what TPMs to use because of the higher referral
fees to be received by IronOak. However, when referring Clients to a TPM, the Client’s best
interest will be the main determining factor of IronOak.
IronOak does not compensate for Client referrals.
Item 15: Custody
Account Statements
All assets are held at qualified custodians, which means the custodians provide account
statements directly to Clients at their address of record at least quarterly. Clients are urged
to compare the account statements received directly from their custodians to any
documentation or reports prepared by IronOak.
IronOak is deemed to have limited custody solely because advisory fees are directly
deducted from Client’s accounts by the custodian on behalf of IronOak.
- 16 -
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Discretionary Authority for Trading
IronOak requires discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of
Clients. IronOak has the authority to determine, without obtaining specific Client consent,
the securities to be bought or sold, and the amount of the securities to be bought or sold.
IronOak allows Client’s to place certain restrictions, as outlined in the Client’s Investment
Policy Statement or similar document. Such restrictions could include only allowing
purchases of socially conscious investments. These restrictions must be provided to
IronOak in writing.
The Client approves the custodian to be used and the commission rates paid to the
custodian. IronOak does not receive any portion of the transaction fees or commissions
paid by the Client to the custodian.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Proxy Votes
IronOak does not vote proxies on securities. Clients are expected to vote their own proxies.
The Client will receive their proxies directly from the custodian of their account or from a
transfer agent.
When assistance on voting proxies is requested, IronOak will provide recommendations to
the Client. If a conflict of interest exists, it will be disclosed to the Client.
Item 18: Financial Information
Balance Sheet
A balance sheet is not required to be provided because IronOak does not serve as a
custodian for Client funds or securities and IronOak does not require prepayment of fees of
more than $1,200 per Client and six months or more in advance.
Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Advisory Firm’s Ability to Meet
Commitments to Clients
Bankruptcy Petitions during the Past Ten Years
IronOak has no condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet contractual
commitments to our Clients.
IronOak has not had any bankruptcy petitions in the last ten years.
