ITEM 4 – ADVISORY BUSINESS
Description of Advisory Firm
Signature Resources Capital Management, LLC (“SRCM,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a privately owned Limited Liability
Company headquartered in Newport Beach, California. SRCM was founded in April 2007, and in June 2007, we started
operating as an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Beverly Kaltenbach,
Gregory Kaltenbach, and Mark Mowrey are the principal owners of the firm.
SRCM is an independent fee-only investment and financial advisory firm. We do not offer any proprietary products
and do not maintain any inventory, which means we are able to offer independent, objective wealth and investment
management solutions.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to bring efficient and decisive financial advice to affluent families and provide the most satisfying client
experience in America.
Vision Statement
Our vision is to create experiences that combine our expertise with our client’s collaborative input to deliver quality,
professional and independent advice.
Advisory Services Offered
SRCM provides investment advisory and investment management solutions to retail investors, including financial,
retirement and estate planning services. Advisory solutions comprise a range of services and deliverables, including
fact-finding and informational conversations with the client’s investment adviser representative, reports on progress
toward financial goals and interactive tools to examine potential future scenarios. The firm also provides Retirement
Plan Services.
SRCM also conducts business practices offered through another business name, which is disclosed through a separate
Form ADV, Part 2A filing.
A:
Investment Management
We provide Investment Management services (“investment solutions,” “portfolio management,” “Portfolios” and
“models”) to our clients on a discretionary basis. The Investment Management service includes, among other
things, providing advice regarding asset allocation and/or the selection of investments.
Our investment advisory and management solutions seek to incorporate client investments into broader strategies
that target near- and long-term financial goals. When working with clients to resolve suitable investment
portfolios, the solutions we develop seek to address what we believe to be the most important factor determining
client investment outcomes—client comfort with exposure to investment risk.
The Investment Team (“Team”) manages client engagements on an individual basis, with decisions guided by unique
client objectives and restrictions. To facilitate the investment management process, the Team maintains a range of
investment models built to provide specific exposures to investment risk. Each model is customizable to specific
client situations. This approach should allow our investment adviser representative to address current client
investment scenarios, while enabling flexible adaptation to any changes to those scenarios as they may occur over
time.
Page 4 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
Clients are responsible for informing us of any changes to their investment objectives, risk profile, financial status
and/or restrictions. We do not assume any responsibility for the timeliness or accuracy of the information provided
by the client.
Portfolio decisions we direct generally include investments in mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs) that
represent both equity (stocks), fixed income (bonds) and other asset classes. SRCM remains flexible in
accommodating individual client needs and restrictions at the initiation of the relationship and as they might evolve
over time.
Additionally, depending on the individual investment objectives and needs of the client, SRCM occasionally will
offer advice regarding additional types of investments if they are appropriate to address the individual needs, goals,
and objectives of the client or in response to client inquiry. As needed, SRCM will offer investment advice on
investments held by the client at the start of and during the advisory relationship.
We describe the material investment risks for many of the securities that we recommend under the heading ITEM
8 – METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS below.
B: Selection of other investment advisers
From time to time and when appropriate for a particular client, SRCM will recommend or retain an independent
and unaffiliated third-party investment adviser (“Third-Party Adviser”) to manage all or a portion of a client’s
portfolio. Third-Party Advisers are evaluated based on a variety of factors, not the least of which include
performance return history, asset class specialization, management tenure, and risk profile. We will conduct due
diligence as appropriate to confirm that such Third-Party Advisers are duly registered and otherwise well-equipped
to manage applicable clients’ accounts. We generally retain the discretionary authority to hire or fire Third-Party
Advisers with or without notice to the client.
C: Sub-Advisory Relationships
SRCM, doing business as Statera Asset Management, provides sub-advisory services through a turnkey asset
management program (“TAMP”) offered by Envestnet Asset Management (“Envestnet”). SRCM provides to
Envestnet “model” target asset allocations across a series of portfolios. SRCM receives compensation for providing
these model portfolio allocations that is comprised of an asset-based fee accrued quarterly based on the market
values of the client portfolios managed by Envestnet as of the last day of each quarter.
SRCM does not directly manage accounts as part of a wrap or bundled fee program.
D: Discretionary Accounts
We discuss discretionary authority below under Discretionary Accounts. For more information about the
restrictions clients can put on their accounts, see Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions in this item below.
We describe the Fees charged for investment management services below under ITEM 5 – FEES AND COMPENSATION.
E: Limited-Discretionary & Non-Discretionary Accounts
SRCM also offers investment management services to clients on a limited-discretionary basis and non-discretionary
basis. See also ITEM 16 – INVESTMENT DISCRETION below.
F: Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plans and Their Participants
SRCM offers (1) Discretionary Investment Management Services, (2) Non-Discretionary Investment Advisory
Services and (3) Retirement Plan Consulting Services to employer-sponsored retirement plans and their
participants. Depending on the type of the Plan and the specific arrangement with the Sponsor, we may provide
one or more of these services. Prior to being engaged by the Sponsor, we will provide a copy of this Form ADV
Page 5 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
Part 2 along with a copy of our Privacy Policy and Advisory Agreement (“Agreement”) that contains the information
required under Sec. 408(b)(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) as applicable.
The Agreement authorizes our investment adviser representatives to deliver one or more of the following services:
1) Discretionary Investment Management Services
These services are designed to allow the Plan fiduciary to delegate responsibility for managing, acquiring and
disposing of Plan assets that meet the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(“ERISA”). We will perform these investment management services through our investment adviser
representatives and charge fees as described in this Form ADV and the Agreement. If the Plan is subject to
ERISA, we will perform these services as an “investment manager” as defined under ERISA Section 3(38) and
as a “fiduciary” to the Plan as defined under ERISA Section 3(21). Specifically, the Sponsor may determine
that we perform the following services:
2) Selection, Monitoring and Replacement of Designated Investment Alternatives (“DIAs”)
Investment adviser representative will review with Sponsor the investment objectives, risk tolerance and goals
of the Plan and provide to Sponsor an IPS that contains criteria from which investment adviser representative
will select, monitor and replace the Plan’s DIAs. Once the IPS is approved by Sponsor, investment adviser
representative will review the investment options available to the Plan and will select the Plan’s DIAs in
accordance with the criteria set forth in the IPS. On a periodic basis, investment adviser representative will
monitor and evaluate the DIAs and replace any DIA(s) that no longer meet the IPS criteria.
3) Selection, Monitoring & Replacement of Qualified Default Investment Alternatives (“QDIA(s)”)
Based upon the options available to the Plan, investment adviser representative will select, monitor and replace
the Plan’s QDIA(s) in accordance with the IPS.
4) Management of Trust Fund
Investment adviser representative will review with Sponsor the investment objectives, risk tolerance and goals
of the Plan and provide to Sponsor an IPS that contains criteria from which investment adviser representative
will select, monitor and replace the Plan’s investments. Once approved by Sponsor, investment adviser
representative will review the investment options available to the Plan and will select the Plan’s investments
in accordance with the criteria set forth in the IPS. On a periodic basis, investment adviser representative will
monitor and evaluate the investments and replace any investment(s) that no longer meet the IPS criteria.
5) Non-Discretionary Fiduciary Services
These services are designed to allow the Sponsor to retain full discretionary authority or control over assets
of the Plan. We will solely be making recommendations to the Sponsor. We will perform these Non-
Discretionary investment advisory services through our investment adviser representatives and charge fees as
described in this Form ADV and the Agreement. If the Plan is covered by ERISA, we will perform these
investment advisory services to the Plan as a “fiduciary” defined under ERISA Section 3(21). The Sponsor may
engage us to perform one or more of the following Non-Discretionary investment advisory services:
6) Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”)
Investment adviser representative will review with Sponsor the investment objectives, risk tolerance and goals
of the Plan. If the Plan does not have an IPS, investment adviser representative will provide recommendations
to Sponsor to assist with establishing an IPS. If the Plan has an existing IPS, investment adviser representative
will review it for consistency with the Plan’s objectives. If the IPS does not represent the objectives of the
Plan, investment adviser representative will recommend to Sponsor revisions to align the IPS with the Plan’s
objectives.
Page 6 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
7) Advice Regarding Designated Investment Alternatives (“DIAs”)
Based on the Plan’s IPS or other guidelines established by the Plan, investment adviser representative will
review the investment options available to the Plan and will make recommendations to assist Sponsor with
selecting DIAs to be offered to Plan participants. Once Sponsor selects the DIAs, investment adviser
representative will, on a periodic basis and/or upon reasonable request, provide reports and information to
assist Sponsor with monitoring the DIAs. If a DIA is required to be removed, investment adviser representative
will provide recommendations to assist Sponsor with replacing the DIA.
8) Advice Regarding Qualified Default Investment Alternative (“QDIA(s)”)
Based on the Plan’s IPS or other guidelines established by the Plan, investment adviser representative will
review the investment options available to the Plan and will make recommendations to assist Sponsor with
selecting or replacing the Plan’s QDIA(s).
9) Participant Investment Advice
Investment adviser representative will meet with Plan participants, upon reasonable request, to collect
information necessary to identify the Plan participant’s investment objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon,
etc. Investment adviser representative will provide written recommendations to assist the Plan participant
with creating a portfolio using the Plan’s DIAs or Models, if available. The Plan participant retains sole
discretion over the investment of his/her account.
10) Advice Regarding Investment of Trust Fund
Based on the Plan’s IPS, investment adviser representative will review the investment options available to the
Plan and will make recommendations to assist Sponsor with selecting investments that meet the IPS criteria.
Once Sponsor selects the investment(s), investment adviser representative will, on a periodic basis and/or
upon reasonable request, provide reports and information to assist Sponsor with monitoring the investment(s).
If the IPS criteria require any investment(s) to be replaced, investment adviser representative will provide
recommendations to assist Sponsor with replacing the investment(s).
11) Retirement Plan Consulting Services
Retirement Plan Consulting Services are designed to allow our investment adviser representatives to assist the
Sponsor in meeting his/her fiduciary duties to administer the Plan in the best interests of Plan participants and
their beneficiaries. Retirement Plan Consulting Services are performed so that they would not be considered
“investment advice” under ERISA. The Sponsor may elect for our investment adviser representatives to assist
with any of the following services:
12) Administrative Support
Assist Sponsor in reviewing objectives and options available through the Plan
Review Plan committee structure and administrative policies/procedures
Recommend Plan participant education and communication policies under ERISA 404(c)

SRCM provides services to 401(k) plans. Services include monitoring plan options and providing education to
plan participants.
We describe fees charged for 401(k) services below under ITEM 5 – FEES AND COMPENSATION.
17) Potential Additional Retirement Services Provided Outside of the Agreement
In providing Retirement Plan Services, SRCM and its investment adviser representatives may establish a client
relationship with one or more Plan participants or beneficiaries. Such client relationships develop in various
ways, including, without limitation:
1. as a result of a decision by the Plan participant or beneficiary to purchase services from SRCM not
involving the use of Plan assets;
2. as part of an individual or family financial plan for which any specific recommendations concerning the
allocation of assets or investment recommendations relating to assets held outside of the Plan; or
through a rollover of an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA Rollover”).
3.
If SRCM is providing Retirement Plan Services to a plan, investment adviser representatives may, when
requested by a Plan participant or beneficiary, arrange to provide services to that participant or beneficiary
through a separate agreement. If a Plan participant or beneficiary desires to affect an IRA Rollover from the
Plan to an account advised or managed by SRCM, investment adviser representative will have a conflict of
interest if his/her fees are reasonably expected to be higher than those paid to SRCM in connection with the
Retirement Plan Services. Investment adviser representative will disclose relevant information about the
applicable fees charged by SRCM prior to opening an IRA account. Any decision to affect the rollover or about
what to do with the rollover assets remain that of the Plan participant or beneficiary alone.
In providing these optional services, we may offer employers and employees information on other financial
and retirement products or services offered by SRCM and our investment adviser representatives.
18) Retirement Account Advice
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement
account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
(“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), as applicable, which are laws governing retirement
accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special
rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special
rule’s provisions, we must:
Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest;
▪ Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent advice);
▪ Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice);
▪ Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
▪
Page 8 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
▪ Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
▪ Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
G: Financial Planning and Consulting Services
SRCM’s primary service offering is Investment Management Services, which may include estate and/or financial
planning as components. However, we also offer stand-alone Financial Planning and Consulting Services. SRCM
offers a range of Financial Planning Services, from broad planning to custom planning focused on specific areas
requested by the client. SRCM provides general non-securities advice on topics that may include tax and budgetary
planning, estate planning and business planning. Our Financial Planning Services do not include preparation of any
kind of income, gift or estate tax returns nor preparation of any legal documents, including wills or trusts. We do
not offer tax or legal advice of any kind.
We offer both Financial Planning Services and Investment Management Services. When preparing a financial plan,
we may have an incentive to recommend our Investment Management Services. Additionally, a number of our
personnel hold insurance and brokerage licenses. When preparing a financial plan, we may have an incentive to
recommend insurance or brokerage products for which we or any of our personnel earn a separate fee or
commission. However, Financial Planning Services clients are under no obligation to act upon any
recommendations of SRCM or to effect any transactions through SRCM or any of our personnel if they decide to
follow the recommendations. For additional information on insurance and brokerage licenses, please see ITEM 10
– OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS.
We describe fees charged for financial planning services below under ITEM 5 – FEES AND COMPENSATION.
H: Limitations on Investments
In some circumstances, SRCM’s advice may be limited to certain types of securities.
1) Limitation by Plan Sponsor/Employer
In the event SRCM is managing assets within a retirement plan such as 401(k), 403(b) or other employer plan,
SRCM is limited to those investment providers and investment options chosen by the plan administrator.
When we provide services to participants in an employer-sponsored plan, the participant may be limited to
investing in securities included in the plan’s investment options.
2) Limitation by Client
SRCM may also limit advice based on certain client-imposed restrictions. For more information about the
restrictions clients can put on their accounts, see Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions directly
below.
Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
SRCM manages client accounts according to a defined investment strategy, as discussed below under ITEM 8 – METHODS
OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS. SRCM applies the strategy for each client in a manner
appropriate to the client’s individual circumstances and financial situation. SRCM makes investment decisions for
clients based on information the client supplies about their financial situation, goals and risk tolerance, among other
details. Investment recommendations will be limited if the client does not provide accurate and complete information.
It is the client’s responsibility to keep SRCM informed of any changes to their investment objectives or restrictions.
Clients have the option to request other restrictions on the account. Such restrictions may include a minimum level of
cash in the account and/or the exclusion of certain specific securities or security types in the account. SRCM reserves
Page 9 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
the right to not accept and/or terminate management of a client’s account if the client-imposed restrictions would limit
or prevent proper implementation of the client’s investment strategy.
When providing investment fiduciary services, SRCM may tailor advice or (if applicable) discretion to meet the
investment policies or other written guidelines adopted by the Sponsor. When providing Participant Investment
Advice, such advice will be based on the investment objectives, risk tolerance and investment time horizon of each
individual Plan participant.
Client Assets
Regulatory Assets Under Management are calculated the same for Form ADV Part 1 and Part 2A. These figures include
all fee paying and non-fee paying (generally employees, family members and friends, among others) accounts to whom

SRCM manages client assets in discretionary accounts on a continuous and regular basis. As of December 31, 2025, the
total amount of discretionary assets under our management was $303,917,192.
A: Assets Under Advisement (“AUA”)
SRCM also provides investment recommendations to various third-party platforms, which in turn implement our
advice to retail clients on their platforms. As of December 31, 2025, our total AUA was $201,704,505.

Our fee schedules are negotiable based on a number of factors including but not limited to: “grandfathered”
accounts, related accounts, types of investments managed and other structures that we consider in special
situations. We also manage some family, client and related accounts without charge. We reserve the right to change
Page 10 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
the annual advisory fee schedule listed above at any time. Lower fees for comparable services may be available
from other sources.
B: Financial Planning & Consulting Services
When not considered part of the investment management fee, SRCM may charge clients an hourly fee generally
at the rate of $350 per hour or a fixed fee that generally ranges from $500 to $7,500 for financial planning and
consulting services. Such fees are based on the complexity of the plan or project and the range of services provided.
Rates are negotiable, and SRCM reserves the right to change these fees at any time.
Billing Methods
A:
Investment Management Services
SRCM’s advisory fees are payable quarterly in advance and due on the first day of each calendar quarter. The
formula used for the calculation is as follows: Billed Market Value * Annual Fee (percentage-of-assets-based) * Days in
Quarter / Days in Year = Quarterly Fee Amount
1) In-Advance Billing
We bill clients in advance of each quarter for services to be provided through that quarter. Accounts for which
advisory services are provided on a first-time basis are billed retroactively for that quarter and in advance for
the following quarter at the end of the first quarter during which services have been provided. This can result
in a larger charged fee for the client’s first quarter end. The client’s advisory fee statement will break out the
in-advance portion and the retroactive portion(s) along with the total corresponding to the debit in their
account.
2) Billed Market Value
We utilize a “period end value” system to determine the market value of the assets upon which we assess a fee
for advisory services. The method identifies a designated day of the account’s value to use as the billed value,
which for SRCM clients are the ends of each calendar quarter: March 31, June 30, September 30 and
December 31. Where we specifically have deemed assets residing within a particular account to be excluded
from billing, we subtract the value of those assets from the account’s quarter-end value to determine the total
billed value. The value of the accrued interest as of the quarter end value will be added to the account’s period
end value for the billed value.
3) Days in Billing Period
The fee calculation is based on the exact number of days that occurred during that quarter.
At a client’s request, SRCM provides advice and consultation at an hourly rate or on a negotiated flat fee basis.
These fees are negotiable depending on the nature and complexity of each client’s circumstances. In these
instances, SRCM may provide an estimate of the total hours required at the start of the relationship and may
require client written consent. In such situations, the hourly or flat fees charged may be paid in addition to the
annual fee listed above.
It is up to the client whether they wish to have the advisory fees withdrawn directly from their custodian
account or pay by check. With client authorization, SRCM will automatically withdraw SRCM’s advisory fee
from the client’s account held by an independent custodian. Typically, the custodian withdraws advisory fees
from the client’s account during the first month of each quarter based on SRCM’s instruction. All clients will
receive brokerage statements from the custodian no less frequently than quarterly. The custodian statement
will show the deduction of the advisory fee for those clients who authorize the advisory fees to be withdrawn
directly from their custodian account.
Page 11 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
Upon request, SRCM will send a statement to each client who authorizes SRCM to withdraw fees directly
from the custodian. The statement will show the value of the client’s assets upon which the fee is based, the
amount of the fee, how SRCM calculated the fee, and any adjustments for contributions and withdrawals. It
is the client’s responsibility to verify the accuracy of the fee calculation. The custodian will not determine
whether the fee is properly calculated.
Upon request, SRCM will send an invoice to all clients who choose not to have advisory fees withdrawn
directly from their custodian account. The invoice is payable upon receipt and will include the fee calculation
and amount due.
B: Financial Planning & Consulting Services
SRCM offers clients one of three ways to pay for planning services:
▪
▪
▪ Hourly Fees: Clients pay hourly fees for our services, which we outline in the Financial Planning Agreement.
Typically, hourly fees are payable monthly in arrears. We will send each client on a monthly basis an invoice,
which will reflect the hours spent on the service and fees due. Depending on the services provided, we may
instead send one invoice upon completion of the services instead of monthly invoices.
Project Fees: One-half of the total project fees are due and payable at the time the client executes the
agreement. The remainder of the fee is due upon presentation of a plan or the rendering of consulting services,
as specified in the Financial Planning Agreement.
Annual Retainer Fees: The fee is determined based upon the scope of work to be performed and the nature of
ongoing consulting desired, (which can be updated annually). This approach is recommended where the
nature of the planning work is complex, and the client has multiple financial concerns requiring regular advice
and guidance. The annual retainer fee is payable quarterly in arrears.
C: Retirement Plan Services Fees
Fees for the Retirement Plan Services (“Fees”) are negotiable. A description of the different types of fees for
Retirement Plan Services appears in the fee schedule below:
Fee Type
Fee Range
Total Assets Under Management
Annual Fee

Flat Fee
Project Fee

Negotiable
Depending on the capabilities and requirements of the Plan’s recordkeeper or custodian, SRCM may collect Fees
in arrears or in advance. Typically, Sponsors instruct the Plan’s recordkeeper or custodian to automatically deduct
Fees from the Plan account; however, in some cases a Sponsor may request that SRCM send invoices directly to
the Sponsor or recordkeeper/custodian.
Sponsors receiving Retirement Plan Services may pay more than or less than a client might otherwise pay if
purchasing the Retirement Plan Services separately or through another service provider. There are several factors
that determine whether the costs would be more or less, including, but not limited to, the size of the Plan, the
specific investments made by the Plan, the number of or locations of Plan participants, the Retirement Plan Services
offered by another service provider, and the actual costs of Retirement Plan Services purchased elsewhere. In light
Page 12 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
of the specific Retirement Plan Services offered by SRCM, the Fees charged may be more or less than those of
other similar service providers.
In determining the value of the Account for purposes of calculating any asset-based Fees, Advisor will rely upon
the valuation of assets provided by Sponsor or the Plan’s custodian or recordkeeper without independent
verification. If, however, there are circumstances that in the Advisor’s judgment render the custodian’s valuation
inappropriate, the Advisor will value securities listed on any national securities exchange at the closing price on
the principal exchange on which they are traded and will value any other securities in a manner determined in good
faith by Advisor to reflect fair market value. In all events, any such valuation will not be any guarantee of the
market value of any of the assets in the Plan.
Unless we agree otherwise, no adjustments or refunds will be made in respect of any period for (i) appreciation or
depreciation in the value of the Plan account during that period or (ii) any partial withdrawal of assets from the
account during that period. If the Agreement is terminated by us or by Sponsor, we will refund certain Fees to
Sponsor to the extent provided in Section 8 of the Agreement. Unless we agree otherwise, all Fees shall be based
on the total value of the assets in the account without regard to any debit balance.
All Fees paid to SRCM for Retirement Plan Services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged
by mutual funds, variable annuities and exchange traded funds to their shareholders. These fees and expenses are
described in each investment’s prospectus. These fees generally will include a management fee, other expenses
and possible distribution fees. If the investment also imposes sales charges, a client may pay an initial or deferred
sales charge. The Retirement Plan Services provided by SRCM may, among other things, assist the client in
determining which investments are most appropriate to each client’s financial condition and objectives and to
provide other administrative assistance as selected by the client. Accordingly, the client should review both the
fees charged by the funds, the fund manager, the Plan’s other service providers and the fees charged by SRCM to
fully understand the total amount of fees to be paid by the client and to evaluate the Retirement Plan Services being
provided.
If applicable, and in the event the payments are received in connection with or as a result of the Retirement Plan
Services, we will disclose such fees to Sponsors in accordance with ERISA and Department of Labor regulations.
No increase in the Fees will be effective without prior written notice.
Other Fees and Expenses
SRCM’s fees do not include custodian fees. Clients generally pay all brokerage commissions, stock transfer fees,
insurance premiums, mortality charges (for life insurance products), and/or other similar charges incurred in
connection with transactions in accounts, from the assets in the account. These charges are in addition to the fees client
pays to SRCM. See ITEM 12 – BROKERAGE PRACTICES below for more information.
In addition, any mutual fund and exchange traded fund (ETF) (“fund”) shares held in a client’s account may be subject
to deferred sales charges, 12b-1 fees, and other fund-related expenses. The fund’s prospectus fully describes the fees
and expenses. All fees paid to SRCM for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and
expenses charged by funds. Funds pay advisory fees to their managers, which are indirectly charged to all holders of the
fund shares. Consequently, clients with funds in their portfolios are effectively paying both SRCM and the fund manager
for the management of their assets.

Termination
A:
Investment Management Services
SRCM will refund any prepaid, unearned advisory fees based on the effective date of termination. The effective
termination date used to calculate the refund will be 30 days after we receive written notice of termination from
the client, as noted above, or such other date as agreed upon with the client. Upon termination of the agreement,
we will send the client a prorated refund of unearned advisory fees using the following formula: (Fees Paid) x (Days
Remaining in Quarter)/ (Total Number of Days in Quarter).
B: Financial Planning and Consulting Services
SRCM considers the planning phase of our services to be complete and the agreement terminated upon delivery of
the planning project. In the event that either the client or SRCM wishes to terminate the financial planning
agreement before completion of the plan, either party may terminate the agreement at any time by providing
written notice to the other party.
Upon notice of termination, SRCM will provide the client with an invoice for services provided through the date
of termination. If the client paid fees in advance that were more than the amount due for services, SRCM will
refund unearned fees to the client.
C: Retirement Plan Services
Unless agreed otherwise, no adjustments or refunds will be made in respect of any period for (i) appreciation or
depreciation in the value of the Plan account during that period or (ii) any partial withdrawal of assets from the
account during that period. If the Advisory Agreement is terminated by SRCM or by Sponsor, we will refund
certain fees to Sponsor to the extent provided in Section 8 of the Advisory Agreement. Unless agreed otherwise,
all Fees shall be based on the total value of the assets in the account without regard to any debit balance.
Other Compensation
Financial firms related to SRCM or certain members of SRCM’s personnel earn commissions on the sale of an insurance
or brokerage product that we recommend as part of a financial plan. This presents a conflict of interest as we may have
an incentive to recommend investment products based on the compensation we receive, rather than on a client’s needs.
We address this conflict of interest in multiple ways: First, we verbally inform clients when a conflict of interest arises
that the client is under no obligation to follow our recommendations or to implement our recommendations through
SRCM or any of our personnel who earn a commission on the sale of an investment product. Clients have the option
to purchase investment products that SRCM recommends through any broker or agent they desire; Second, at our
discretion, we may choose to waive all or a portion of the financial planning fees when the client elects to purchase an
investment product that we recommended in an investment plan and either SRCM or one of our personnel earns a fee
or commission on the sale of that investment. We do not receive commissions on fee-based life insurance products.
For additional information on our Financial Planning Services, see ITEM 4 – ADVISORY BUSINESS above. For additional
information relating to insurance and brokerage licenses, please see ITEM 10 – OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES
AND AFFILIATIONS below.
ITEM 6 – PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
SRCM does not charge performance-based fees or other fees based on a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of
the assets of a client.
Page 14 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
ITEM 7 – TYPES OF CLIENTS
SRCM offers discretionary and non-discretionary investment management services and financial planning services to
individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts and estates, and individual participants of retirement plans. In addition,
we offer advisory services to pension and profit- sharing plans, charitable organizations and businesses.
Our Retirement Plan Services are available to clients that are sponsors or other fiduciaries to plans, including 401(k),
457(b), 403(b) and 401(a) plans. Plans include participant-directed defined contribution plans and defined benefit
plans. Plans may or may not be subject to ERISA.
Account Requirements
Generally, SRCM requires a minimum of $250,000 to establish a new investment management account (with accounts
aggregated at the household level). For accounts under $250,000, a program fee generally will be charged to the
account in addition to the investment management fee. SRCM may reduce or waive the new account minimum
requirements at our discretion. In addition, we may continue to service existing accounts that have values below this
minimum.
SRCM does not require a minimum asset amount for Consulting Services.
ITEM 8 – METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF
LOSS
Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
D: General Investment Strategies
Our approach to investment management is humble in concept and efficient in practice. It is grounded upon more
than a century of market history and informed by our collective decades of investment experience. Executed with
cost effectiveness and pragmatism in mind, our methodology acknowledges the give and take of return and risk
inherent to all investments and is designed to be applicable to a very wide range of individual client scenarios.
At the core of our Investment Approach is our Investment Philosophy:
Capital market prices reflect collective investor expectations for the potential risks and returns inherent to all investments. This
crowd-sourced wisdom leaves little room for incremental gain over the aggregate performance of similar securities. Nonetheless,
certain investment characteristics have shown to support greater-than-average returns over time. We manage portfolios built to
favor these characteristics, while emphasizing portfolio diversification within and among a diverse range of asset classes, to foster
an optimal experience for our clients and partners.
Based on that Philosophy, the following features generally define our Investment Approach:
Our approach to investment management seeks pragmatism in concept and efficiency in practice. It is grounded
upon more than a century of market history and informed by our collective decades of investment and advisory
experience. Executed with cost effectiveness and practicality in mind, our methodology acknowledges the give
and take of return and risk inherent to all investments and is designed to be applicable to a very wide range of
individual investment scenarios.
The approach seeks higher expected total return as tolerance for risk and investment time-horizons increase. We
seek to enhance return expectations primarily through increased exposure to equity. As the target exposure to
Page 15 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
investment risk grows in a particular portfolio, the approach additionally seeks to boost return through enhanced
global diversification, and increasingly stronger tilts toward equity characteristics seen to have provided higher
returns through time. We also tend to boost the potential to seek additional income with fixed income through
stronger tilts toward duration (sensitivity to changes interest rates) and credit (potential for default) among fixed
income securities.
This approach informs our Global Target Risk Strategy, which is meant to serve as a through-cycle, core- or whole-
portfolio solution.
After considering the static strategic mix of equity and fixed income, we believe long-term drivers of risk-relative
performance will originate primarily from enhanced global diversification, with incremental gain sought through
asset-class and sub-asset-class tilts to specific factors shown to have been indicative of long-term outperformance.
E: Methods of Analysis for Selecting Securities
1) Mutual Funds and ETFs
The Investment Team’s development of the investment opportunity set begins with a regular scan of exposures
relevant to our model portfolios, which include the breadth of mutual fund and ETF offerings. The Team
reduces this mix to those exposures that constitute the broadest mix of potential diversification both among
and within global capital markets, while maintaining the level of exposure to risk factors the Team believes is
consistent with the objective of optimal return for a given target level of aggregate portfolio risk.
The Investment Team monitors the relative performance of similarly defined funds. This work seeks to ensure
that the Team is appropriately defining the investment opportunity set. This review focuses on differences in
portfolio construction, benchmark-relative performance and overall implementation cost.
The Investment Team leans heavily on mutual fund and ETF managers to provide details regarding the
underlying portfolio construction methodologies related to their portfolios. The Investment Team also utilizes
third-party database platforms (such as those offered by Bloomberg and Morningstar) to perform due diligence
on mutual funds and ETFs. The firm does not make use of outside consultants for investment
recommendations.
F: Specific Investment Strategies for Managing Portfolios
1) Long-term Holding/Short-term Trading
SRCM primarily seeks to hold securities for longer-term periods, especially in taxable accounts. SRCM does
not generally purchase securities for clients with the intent to sell the securities within 30 days of purchase, as
SRCM does not use short-term trading as an investment strategy. However, there are times when SRCM will
sell a security for a client when the client has held the position for less than 30 days.
2) Margin
Some clients of SRCM maintain margin accounts. SRCM does not use margin as an investment strategy.
Clients are responsible for any brokerage or margin charges in addition to advisory fees.
General Risk of Loss Statement
All investing carries risk, including the potential loss of principal, which clients should be prepared to bear. Securities
markets experience varying degrees of volatility. Over time the client’s assets may fluctuate and at any time be worth
more or less than the amount invested. Diversification does not protect against losses. Inflation causes tomorrow’s
dollar to be worth less than today’s; inflation therefore reduces the purchasing power of most investments.
Page 16 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
General Risks of Owning Securities
The prices of securities held in portfolios we manage and the income they generate may decline in response to certain
events taking place around the world. These include events directly involving the issuers of securities held as underlying
assets of securities in a client’s account, conditions affecting the general economy, and overall market changes. Other
contributing factors include local, regional, or global political, social, or economic instability and governmental or
governmental agency responses to economic conditions. Finally, currency, interest rate, and commodity price
fluctuations also may affect security prices and income.
Investments in securities issued by entities based outside the United States may be subject to increased levels of the risks
described above. Currency fluctuations and controls, different accounting, auditing, financial reporting, disclosure,
regulatory and legal standards and practices could also affect investments in securities of foreign issuers. Additional
factors may include expropriation, changes in tax policy, greater market volatility, different securities market
structures, and higher transaction costs. Various administrative difficulties, such as delays in clearing and settling
portfolio transactions, or in receiving payment of dividends can increase risk. Investments in securities issued by entities
domiciled in the United States may also be subject to many of these risks.
Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) (“funds”)
Funds express risks specific to the security type:
A: Costs Despite Negative Returns
Investors must pay sales charges, annual fees and other expenses regardless of how a fund performs. Depending on
the timing of their investment, investors may also have to pay taxes on any capital gains distribution they receive.
This includes instances where the fund went on to perform poorly after purchasing shares.
B: Lack of Control
Investors typically cannot ascertain the exact make-up of a fund’s portfolio at any given time, nor can they directly
influence which securities the fund manager buys and sells or the timing of those trades.
C: Price Uncertainty (mutual funds only)
With an individual stock, investors can obtain real-time (or close to real-time) pricing information with relative
ease by checking financial Web sites or by calling a broker or asking the investment adviser. Investors can also
monitor how a stock’s price changes during market hours. By contrast, the price at which an investor purchases or
redeems shares in a mutual fund will typically depend on the fund’s NAV, which the fund might not calculate until
many hours after the investor placed the order. In general, mutual funds must calculate their NAV at least once
every business day, typically after the major U.S. exchanges close.
D: Tax Consequences of Funds
When an investor buys and holds fund shares, the investor will owe income tax on any ordinary dividends in the
year the investor receives or reinvests them. Moreover, in addition to owing taxes on any capital gains when the
investor sells shares, the investor may have to pay taxes each year on any capital gains a fund distributes.
E: Fluctuation in Dividend Income
The composition of the securities held in a portfolio and/or in a specific fund’s portfolio could change, which might
cause a reduction in dividends received. There is no guarantee of dividends from specific funds. Fluctuations in
dividend levels over time, up and down, are to be expected.
Page 17 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
F: Leverage Risk
The use of leverage may lead to increased volatility of a fund’s NAV and market price relative to its common
shares. Leverage is likely to magnify any losses in the fund’s portfolio, which may lead to increased market price
declines. Fluctuations in interest rates on borrowings or the dividend rates on preferred shares that take place from
changes in short-term interest rates may reduce the return to common shareholders or result in fluctuations in the
dividends paid on common shares. There is no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful.
Different Types of Securities and Funds
Each type of security and fund has different features and different risks and rewards. Generally, the higher the potential
return, the higher the risk of loss.
A: Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are considered very low-risk investments meaning, there is little risk of losing the
principal investment.
B: Debt Securities (Bonds)
The prices of, and the income generated by, most debt securities may be affected by many factors. Because bond
funds are variously exposed to these factors, bond funds can vary dramatically in their risks and rewards. Certain
additional risk factors relating to debt securities and fixed income-focused funds include:
1) Interest Rate Risk
The prices of debt securities in the client’s account generally will decline when interest rates rise and increase
when interest rates fall. The longer the time to a bond’s maturity, the greater its interest rate risk. As a result,
investors can lose money in any bond fund.
2) Credit Risk
Debt securities are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that the credit strength of an issuer will
weaken and/or an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest. Such risk
may heighten the volatility of securities, while delayed interest payments and defaults may adversely affect the
NAV of and/or income produced by a fund.
3) Market Risk
Debt securities may be sensitive to economic changes, political and corporate developments and interest rate
changes. Investors also should expect periods of economic change and uncertainty, which can result in
increased volatility of market prices and yields of debt securities.
4) Prepayment Risk
Issuers may choose to pay off debt earlier than the stated maturity date on a bond. When this happens, the
fund may not be able to reinvest the proceeds in an investment with as high a, expected return or yield.
5) Reinvestment Risk
When interest rates are declining, investors maty need to reinvest interest income and any return of principal
at lower prevailing rates.
6) Call Risk
Debt securities may contain redemption or call provisions entitling their issuers to redeem them at a specified
price on a date prior to maturity. If an issuer exercises these provisions in a lower interest rate market, an
investor may have to replace the security with a lower yielding security, resulting in decreased income. A
Page 18 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
bond may be called at or close to par value. This subjects investors that paid a premium for their bond to a
risk of lost principal.
7) Liquidity and Valuation Risk
There may be little trading in the secondary market for particular debt securities, which may affect adversely
the ability to value accurately or dispose of such debt securities. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions,
whether or not based on fundamental analysis, may decrease the value and/or liquidity of debt securities.
8) International and Emerging Market Risk
Investments in foreign bonds are subject to additional risks such as, but not limited to, currency risk and
exchange-rate risk, and political/economic instability of the countries from where the securities originate.
Investing in emerging market bonds and bond funds may accentuate these and other bond-related risks.
9) U.S. Treasury Securities
U.S. Treasury securities include direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, such as Treasury bills, notes, and
bonds. The guarantee of a security backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government only covers the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. This means that
the current market values for these securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates.
10) Inflation-Indexed Bonds
The principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond adjusts to changes in the level of the consumer price index.
The U.S. Government guarantees the repayment of the original bond principal of U.S. Treasury inflation-
indexed bonds upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation). However, the current market value of these bonds is
not guaranteed and will fluctuate, reflecting the rise and fall of yields. The interest rate for inflation-indexed
bonds is fixed at issuance as a percentage of this adjustable principal. Accordingly, the actual interest income
may both rise and fall as the principal amount of the bonds adjusts in response to movements of the consumer
price index.
C: Equity (Stocks) and Equity Funds
The prices of stocks and the income they generate (such as dividends) fluctuate based on, among other things, events
specific to the company that issued the shares, changes or weakness in the business sector the company does business
in, shifts in conditions affecting the general economy and overall market changes, and other factors. Stock funds,
therefore, also are exposed to these risks, which may include:
1) Market Risk
The value of an individual stock, as well as that of an individual stock fund, can rise and fall quickly and
dramatically based on changes in aggregate investor tolerance for exposure to the range of risks investing
presents.
2) Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Stock Risk
Funds that invest in stocks of smaller companies involve additional risks. Smaller companies typically have
higher risk of failure. It can be more difficult to obtain information about smaller companies. It may be more
difficult to trade small company stocks (they tend to be less liquid). And the prices of their stocks may be more
volatile than stocks of larger, more established companies.
3) International and Emerging Market Stock Risk
Investments in foreign securities (stocks and bonds) are subject to additional risks such as, but not limited to,
currency risk and exchange-rate risk, and political/economic instability of the countries from where the
Page 19 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
securities originate. Investing in emerging market stocks and stock funds may accentuate these and other stock-
related risks.
4) REITs
REITs primarily invest in real estate or real estate-related loans. REIT investments may be exposed to
illiquidity and interest rate risk. Further, the lack of industry diversification subjects the investor to increased
risk specific to the real estate industry.
D: Options Risk
Investing in options has the potential to amplify losses as well as to limit potential gains, and whether or not an
option will result in a gain or a loss is wholly dependent on the market value of the option’s underlying security.
Options require the payment of a premium (which may not be recouped), and have the potential to trigger a
purchase or sale obligation within a shorter timeframe than a more traditional long-term investment. Implementing
certain options strategies creates certain time sensitivities, such that an options strategy may not be successful if
exercises are not executed within an applicable period of time. When selling covered calls, there is a risk the
underlying position may be called away at a price lower than the current market price. When purchasing puts,
there is a risk that the premium paid will be a sunk cost if the option expires unexercised.
E: Third-Party Advisers Risk
Relying on the investment advisory or management services of an independent and unaffiliated third-party adviser
means that clients will be subject to such third-party adviser’s continued ability to achieve its investment mandates,
as well as specific client investment objectives and restrictions. To the extent that a third-party adviser is dependent
on the services or intellectual capital of a select few individuals, the departure or death of such individuals may
have a material impact on the continued viability of such third-party adviser and it’s ability to continue service
clients accounts. There can be no guarantee that a third-party adviser will meets its performance expectations, or
that its services will be free of trading or management-related errors.
Financial Planning
The financial planning tools SRCM uses to create financial plans for clients rely on various assumptions, such as estimates
of inflation, risk, economic conditions and rates of return on security asset classes. All return assumptions generally are
based on asset class returns, not returns of actual investments, and may not include fees or expenses that clients would
pay if they invested in specific products.
Financial planning software is only a tool used to help guide SRCM and the client in developing an appropriate plan,
and we cannot guarantee that clients will achieve the results shown in the plan. Results will vary based on the
information provided by the client regarding the client’s assets, risk tolerance and personal information. Changes to
the program’s underlying assumptions or differences in actual personal, economic or market outcomes may result in
materially different results for the client. Clients should carefully consider the assumptions and limitations of the
financial planning software as disclosed on the financial planning reports and should discuss the results of the plan with
a qualified investment professional before making any changes in their investment or financial planning program.
If the financial plan includes recommendations for investing in securities, one should understand that investing in
securities involves risk of loss, and one should be prepared to bear that risk.

ITEM 9 – DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
SRCM and our personnel seek to maintain the highest level of business professionalism, integrity, and ethics. SRCM
does not have any disciplinary information to disclose.
ITEM 10 – OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS
Related Insurance Agencies
Gregory Kaltenbach controls Signature Resources, Insurance & Financial Services, Inc., Statera Insurance Solutions,
LLC, and Aquilo Insurance Solutions, LLC, all of which are California licensed insurance agencies. Gregory Kaltenbach
spends approximately 80% of his time providing insurance services. In addition, other SRCM personnel are also
insurance agents/brokers of various insurance companies.
Beverly Kaltenbach has a 33% ownership in DIBA Insurance Services, LLC, an insurance brokerage firm.
In their capacities as insurance agents/brokers, certain personnel of SRCM at times recommend insurance or other
products to the firm’s clients. Consequently, these persons receive commissions for products they sell through the firm
with which they are associated. Therefore, a conflict of interest exists between the interests of these individuals and
those of the advisory clients. However, clients are under no obligation to act on any recommendations of these
individuals or effect any transactions through them or through the above related entities if they decide to follow their
recommendations.
As described earlier in Item 4 of this brochure, SRCM has the authority to recommend or retain one or more third-
Party Advisers to provide investment advisory, administrative, and other back-office services to Adviser for the benefit
of Adviser and its clients. We do not receive any compensation directly from any Third-Party Adviser, but they do
offer services that are intended to directly benefit us, clients, or both. Such services include (a) an online platform
through which we can monitor and review client accounts, create and manage model portfolios and/or review model
portfolios created and managed by the Third-Party Adviser, and perform other client account maintenance matters, (b)
access to technology that allows for general market data research, performance reporting, fee deduction, trade
processing, and/or transaction order aggregation, (c) quarterly client statements, (d) invitations to educational
conferences, (e) practice management consulting, (f) full or partial sponsorship of client appreciation or education
events, and (g) occasional business meals and entertainment. The availability of such services from a Third-Party Adviser
creates a conflict of interest, to the extent that we may be motivated to retain a Third-Party Adviser as opposed to an
alternative Third-Party Adviser (or to not retain one at all). We address this conflict of interest by performing
appropriate due diligence on Third-Party Advisers to confirm their respective services are in the best interests of clients,
periodically evaluating alternatives, and evaluating the merit of Third-Party Advisers without consideration of the
benefits we receive.
ITEM 11 – CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT
TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING
Code of Ethics
SRCM believes that we owe clients the highest level of trust and fair dealing. As part of our fiduciary duty, we place
the interests of our clients ahead of the interests of the firm and our personnel. SRCM’s personnel are required to
conduct themselves with integrity at all times and follow the principles and policies detailed in our Code of Ethics.
Page 21 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
SRCM’s Code of Ethics attempts to address specific conflicts of interest that either we have identified or that could
likely arise. SRCM’s personnel are required to follow clear guidelines from the Code of Ethics in areas such as gifts and
entertainment, other business activities, and adherence to applicable federal securities laws. Additionally, individuals
who make securities recommendations to clients, or who have access to nonpublic information regarding any clients’
purchase or sale of securities (all considered “Access Persons”), are subject to personal trading policies governed by the
Code of Ethics (see below).
SRCM will provide a complete copy of the Code of Ethics to any client or prospective client upon request.
F: Personal Trading Practices
SRCM and our personnel may purchase or sell securities for themselves, regardless of whether the transaction
would be appropriate for any client account. SRCM or our Access Persons may purchase or sell securities for
themselves that we also recommend to clients. This includes related securities (e.g., warrants, options or futures).
This presents a potential conflict of interest as we may have an incentive to take investment opportunities from
clients for our own benefit, favor our personal trades over client transactions when allocating trades, or to use the
information about the transactions we intend to make for clients to our personal benefit by trading ahead of clients.
Our policies to address these conflicts include the following:
1. The client receives the opportunity to act on investment recommendations prior to and in preference to
accounts of Access Persons.
2. SRCM prohibits trading in a manner that takes personal advantage of price movements caused by client
transactions.
3. With the exception of those accounts of SRCM personnel assigned and managed to a specific target risk, which
we may include in along with client portfolios in model repositioning and rebalancing efforts, if we wish to
purchase or sell the same security that we are considering or taking action to purchase or sell for a client, we
will not do so until the custodian fills client orders or we have decided not to purchase or sell the security for
clients. As a result of this policy, it is possible that clients may receive a better or worse price than SRCM or
an Access Person for the same security on the same day as a client or one or more days before or after the
client’s transaction.
4. Access Persons must obtain prior written approval from the Chief Compliance Officer prior to making
personal trades in certain securities. That list of securities changes through time and is managed by the Chief
Investment Officer.
G: Aggregation with Client Orders
At times SRCM will aggregate orders for clients in the same securities in an effort to seek best execution, negotiate
more favorable commission rates, and/or allocate differences in prices, commissions and other transaction costs
equitably among our clients. These are benefits of aggregation orders that we might not obtain if we placed those
orders independently.
At times SRCM will aggregate trades in like securities among client accounts as well as with accounts of SRCM
and our personnel. This presents a potential conflict of interest as we may have an incentive to allocate more
favorable executions to our own accounts or the accounts of our personnel.
Our policies to address this conflict are as follows:
1. We will disclose our aggregation policies in this brochure;
Page 22 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
2. We will not aggregate transactions unless we believe that aggregation is consistent with our duty to seek best
execution (which includes the duty to seek best price) for our clients. The trade also needs to be consistent
with the terms of our investment advisory agreement with each client that has an account included in the
aggregation;
3. No account will be favored over any other account. This includes accounts of SRCM or any of our personnel.
Each account in a specific aggregated trade in a given security will participate at the average share price for
that particular transaction. Where multiple aggregated trades across the same and/or different accounts for a
particular security occur on the same day, individual accounts may realize different prices for those trades. All
accounts will pay their individual transaction costs;
5.
7.
4. Before entering an aggregated order, we will prepare a written statement (the “Allocation Statement”)
specifying the participating accounts and how we intend to allocate the order among those accounts. This
statement generally is automatically generated and stored by the firm’s trading software;
If the aggregated order is filled entirely, we will allocate shares among clients according to the Allocation
Statement; if the order is partially filled, we will allocate it pro-rata according to the Allocation Statement;
6. However, we may allocate the order differently than specified in the Allocation Statement if all client accounts
receive fair and equitable treatment. (See also ITEM 12 – BROKERAGE PRACTICES below.) In this case, we will
explain the reasons for a different allocation in writing, which the CCO must approve no later than one hour
after the opening of the markets on the trading day following the day the order was executed;
If an aggregated order is partially filled and we allocate it differently than the Allocation Statement specifies,
no participating account may purchase or sell the security for a reasonable period following the execution of
the block trade. This only applies when the participating account sells or receives more shares than it would
have if the aggregated order had been completely filled;
8. Our books and records will separately reflect each aggregated order and the securities held by, bought, and
sold for each client account;
9. We do not receive additional compensation or remuneration of any kind as a result of aggregating orders; and
10. We will provide individual investment advice and treatment to each client’s account.
ITEM 12 – BROKERAGE PRACTICES
The Custodians and Brokers We Use
SRCM requires clients to open one or more custodian accounts in their own name at a “qualified custodian,” generally
a broker-dealer or bank, of the client’s choice. We request that clients use Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a
registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, as the qualified custodian. We are independently owned and not affiliated
with Schwab. Schwab will hold client assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell securities when we instruct them
to. The accounts will always be held in the name of the client and never in SRCM’s name. Not all advisors request their
clients to use a particular broker-dealer or other custodian selected by the advisor.
How We Select Brokers/Custodians
We seek to recommend a custodian/broker who will hold client assets and execute transactions on terms that are,
overall, most advantageous when compared to other available providers and their services. We consider a wide range
of factors, including, among others:
▪ Combination of transaction execution services and asset custody services (generally without a separate fee for
custody)
▪ Capability to execute, clear and settle trades (buy and sell securities for client accounts)
Page 23 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
▪ Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers, check requests, bill
payment, etc.)
▪ Breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds [ETFs], etc.)
▪ Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment decisions
▪ Quality of services
▪ Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, margin interest rates, other fees, etc.) and
willingness to negotiate the prices
▪ Reputation, financial strength and stability
Prior service to us and our other clients
▪
▪ Availability of other products and services that may benefit us, as discussed below (see Products and Services
Available to Us from Schwab)
Client Brokerage and Custody Costs
For our clients’ accounts that Schwab maintains, Schwab generally does not charge the client separately for custody
services but is compensated by charging commissions or other fees on trades that it executes or that settle into the
Schwab account and through various compensation Schwab receives based on the cash holdings across all client
accounts.
These fees are in addition to the commissions or other compensation clients pay the executing broker-dealer. Because
of this, in order to minimize trading costs, we have Schwab execute all trades for client accounts. We have determined
that having Schwab execute all trades is consistent with our duty to seek “best execution” of trades. Best execution
means the most favorable terms for a transaction based on all relevant factors, including those listed above (see How We
Select Brokers/Custodians).
Additionally, Schwab charges per-trade fees in most mutual funds in which we invest. However, we generally choose
funds that do not charge ongoing 12b-1 fees. We believe that the savings the client receives by buying low-cost funds
without ongoing 12b-1 fees exceeds the incremental transaction costs over a reasonably short holding period.
Products and Services Available to Us from Schwab
Schwab Advisor Services™ is Schwab’s business serving independent investment advisory firms like us. They provide
us and our clients with access to their institutional brokerage— trading, custody, reporting and related services—many
of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes available various support services.
Some of those services help us manage or administer our clients’ accounts, while others help us manage and grow our
business. Schwab’s support services generally are available on an unsolicited basis (we don’t have to request them) and
at no charge to us. The following are more detailed descriptions of Schwab’s support services:
A: Services That Benefit the Client
Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products, execution of
securities transactions and custody of client assets. The investment products available through Schwab include some
to which we might not otherwise have access or that would require a significantly higher minimum initial
investment by our clients. Schwab’s services described in this paragraph generally benefit clients and their accounts.
B: Services That May Not Directly Benefit the Client
Schwab also makes available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not directly benefit clients
and their accounts. These products and services assist us in managing and administering our clients’ accounts. They
include investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of third parties. We use this research to service all or a
Page 24 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
substantial number of our clients’ accounts. In addition to investment research, Schwab also makes available
software and other technology that:
Provide access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account statements)
Facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts
Provide pricing and other market data
Facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪ Assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting
C: Services That Generally Benefit Only Us
Schwab also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business enterprise. These
services include:
Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession
▪ Educational conferences and events
▪ Consulting on technology, compliance, legal and business needs
▪
▪ Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants and insurance providers
Schwab provides some of these services, and in other cases, they will arrange for third-party vendors to provide
the services to us. Schwab may also discount or waive their fees for some of these services or pay all or a part of a
third party’s fees. Schwab also provides us with other benefits such as occasional business entertainment of our
personnel.
D: Our Interest in Schwab’s Services
The availability of these services from Schwab benefits us because we do not have to produce or purchase them,
which may give us an incentive to request that clients maintain their accounts with Schwab based on our interest
in receiving Schwab’s services that benefit our business rather than based on client interest in receiving the best
value in custody services and the most favorable execution of client transactions. This is a potential conflict of
interest. We believe, however, that our selection of Schwab as custodian and broker is in the best interests of our
clients. Our selection is primarily supported by the scope, quality and price of Schwab’s services (see How We Select
Brokers/Custodians) and not Schwab’s services that benefit only us.
Directed Brokerage Transactions
Clients who direct SRCM to use a particular broker-dealer for trading may pay higher commission charges. Under these
circumstances, SRCM may not have authority to negotiate commissions or obtain volume discounts and best execution
may not be achieved. Clients should further understand that when they direct SRCM to use a specific broker disparity
in transaction charges might exist between the transaction costs charged to other clients. SRCM may not be able to
aggregate orders to reduce transaction costs and clients who direct SRCM to use a particular broker-dealer may receive
less favorable prices.
Aggregation and Allocation of Transactions
We describe our aggregation practices in detail under Aggregation with Client Orders above.

ITEM 13 – REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Investment Management Accounts Reviews
We manage portfolios on a continuous basis and generally review all positions in client accounts at least quarterly. We
offer account reviews to clients typically on a quarterly basis, but no less frequently than on an annual basis. Clients
may choose to receive reviews in person, by telephone or in writing. Portfolio Managers, Advisory Associates and/or
Investment Adviser Representatives conduct reviews based on a variety of factors. These factors may include but are
not limited to account holder’s personal, tax or financial status, certain additions or withdrawals and/or market factors.
In addition, if deemed necessary, we will conduct a special review of an account based on one or more of the following
reasons, in addition to reasons not specifically noted below:
▪ Changes in the client’s investment objectives, guidelines and/or financial situation;
▪ Changes in portfolio exposures sought by SRCM’s Investment Team, the client’s investment adviser
representative and/or the client;
Shifts in macroeconomic trends
▪ Changes in investment exposures present in existing investments;
▪
Account Reporting
Each investment management client will receive a written statement from the custodian that includes an accounting of
all holdings and transactions in the account for the reporting period. In addition, SRCM makes available written reports
detailing current holdings and asset allocation of each advisory client’s accounts on quarterly or ad hoc basis.
Retirement Plan Services Account Reviews
We will contact Retirement Plan Services clients at least once a year to review our Retirement Plan Services. It is
important that clients discuss any changes in the Plan’s demographic information, investment goals and objectives with
the investment advisor representative. Plans may receive written reports directly from their investment adviser
representative based on the services being provided, including any reports evaluating the performance of Plan
investment manager(s) or investments.
Financial Plan Reviews
SRCM reviews financial plans only upon request unless the client retains SRCM to update the plan on a continuous
basis.
ITEM 14 – CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
Promoters (Solicitors)
SRCM anticipates entering into arrangements with third-parties (“Promoters”) that refer prospective advisory clients
to SRCM. Such Promoters will be compensated directly by SRCM, and the fees charged by SRCM to prospective
advisory clients will not be increased as a result of such referral. The compensation paid by SRCM to a Promoter will
be memorialized in a written agreement, and is generally in the form of a percentage of the advisory fees earned by
SRCM from clients referred by the Promoter. Prospective advisory clients referred to SRCM by a Promoter will receive
a separate disclosure that describes the arrangement between the SRCM and the Promoter, including the specific
referral fees to be paid.
Page 26 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
Outside Compensation
At times SRCM refers clients to unaffiliated professionals for specific needs, such as accountants or estate planning or
other attorneys. At SRCM, we do not have any agreements with individuals or companies to which we refer clients,
and we do not receive any compensation for these referrals.
SRCM only refers clients to professionals we believe are competent and qualified in their field. We may provide the
client with a list of professionals that the client can contact, and it is solely the client’s decision whether or not to engage
a recommended firm. It is ultimately the client’s responsibility to evaluate the provider. Clients are under no obligation
to purchase any products or services through these professionals, and SRCM has no control over the services provided
by another firm. Clients who chose to engage these professionals will sign a separate agreement with the other firm.
Fees charged by the other firm are separate from and in addition to fees charged by SRCM.
If the client desires, SRCM will work with these professionals or the client’s other advisers (such as an accountant,
attorney or other investment adviser) to help ensure that the provider understands the client’s financial plan and to
coordinate services for the client. SRCM will never share information with an unaffiliated professional unless first
authorized by the client.
Economic Benefit from Schwab
We receive an economic benefit from Schwab in the form of the support products and services it makes available to us
and other independent registered investment advisers that have their clients maintain accounts at Schwab. These
products and services, how they benefit us, and the related conflicts of interest are described above (see ITEM 12 –
BROKERAGE PRACTICES). The availability to us of Schwab’s products and services is not based on us giving particular
investment advice, such as buying particular securities for our clients.
Other Compensation
SRCM retains the authority to recommend or retain one or more third-party product sponsors, distributors, and other
vendors. Such third-parties provide various products and services to SRCM for the benefit of SRCM and its clients.
SRCM does not receive any compensation directly from such third-parties, but they do offer services that are intended
to directly benefit SRCM, clients, or both. Such services can include (a) an online platform through which we can
receive various educational content and perform analyses (b) invitations to educational conferences, at which meals and
refreshments are provided, (c) practice management consulting, (d) full or partial sponsorship of client appreciation or
education events, and (e) occasional business meals and entertainment. The availability of such products and services
from a third-party creates a conflict of interest, to the extent SRCM may be motivated to retain a third-party as opposed
to an alternative third-party for the provision of its products or services (or to not retain one at all). SRCM addresses
this conflict of interest by performing appropriate due diligence on third-parties to confirm their respective products
and services are in the best interests of clients, periodically evaluating alternatives, and evaluating the merit of third-
parties without consideration for the benefits received by SRCM.
If applicable, and in the event the payments, or non-monetary compensation, are received in connection with or as a
result of the Retirement Plan Services, we will disclose such fees to Sponsors in accordance with ERISA and Department
of Labor regulations.
ITEM 15 – CUSTODY
SRCM has limited custody of some of our clients’ funds or securities when the clients authorize us to deduct our
management fees directly from client accounts or when they grant us the limited authority to transfer funds from their
accounts to a third-party. A qualified custodian (generally a broker-dealer, bank, trust company or other financial
Page 27 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
institution) holds clients’ funds and securities. Clients will receive statements directly from their qualified custodians
at least quarterly. The statements will reflect the client’s funds and securities held with the qualified custodian as well
as any transactions that occurred in the account, including the deduction of SRCM’s fee. Clients should carefully review
the account statements they receive from their qualified custodians. When clients receive statements from SRCM as
well as from the qualified custodian, clients should compare these two reports carefully. Clients with any questions
about statements should contact us at the address or phone number on the cover of this brochure. Clients who do not
receive their statement from their qualified custodians at least quarterly should also notify us.
With respect to custody that is triggered by third party standing letters of authorization (“SLOAs”), SRCM endeavors
to comply with the following seven conditions as listed in the 2017 SEC No Action Letter to the Investment Adviser
Association:
1. The client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that includes the client’s signature,
the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or the third party’s account number at a custodian
to which the transfer should be directed.
2. The client authorizes the investment adviser, in writing, either on the qualified custodian’s form or separately,
to direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or from time to time.
3. The client’s qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction, such as a signature review
or other method to verify the client’s authorization, and provides a transfer of funds notice to the client
promptly after each transfer.
4. The client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the client’s qualified custodian.
5. The investment adviser has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third party, the
address, or any other information about the third party contained in the client’s instruction.
6. The investment adviser maintains records showing that the third party is not a related party of the investment
adviser or located at the same address as the investment adviser.
7. The client’s qualified custodian sends the client, in writing, an initial notice confirming the instruction and an
annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
SRCM will not serve as a custodian for Plan assets in connection with the Retirement Plan Services. Sponsor is
responsible for selecting the custodian for Plan assets. We may be listed as the contact for the Plan account held at an
investment sponsor or custodian. Sponsor for the Plan will complete account paperwork with the outside custodian
that will provide the name and address of the custodian. The custodian for Plan assets is responsible for providing the
Plan with periodic confirmations and statements. We recommend that Sponsor reviews the statements and reports
received directly from the custodian or investment sponsor.
ITEM 16 – INVESTMENT DISCRETION
Discretionary
For discretionary accounts, SRCM has full discretion to decide the specific security to trade, the quantity and the timing
of transactions for client accounts. SRCM will not contact clients before placing trades in their accounts, but clients
will receive confirmations directly from the broker for any trades placed. Clients grant us discretionary authority in the
contracts they sign with us. Clients also give us trading authority over their accounts when they sign the custodian
paperwork.
Page 28 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
Limited-Discretionary
For limited-discretionary accounts, SRCM will typically contact the client and obtain the client’s verbal or written
consent before making asset allocation changes in the client’s account. However, SRCM is not required to contact the
client when the planned trades are to rebalance or reposition the client’s account to a previously agreed upon broad
asset class-based allocation. We believe in working closely with our clients to keep them informed of our investment
recommendations and to ensure our recommendations are consistent with the changing circumstances of the client.
Clients grant us limited-discretionary authority in the contracts they sign with us. Clients also give us trading authority
over their accounts when they sign the custodian paperwork.
However, certain client-imposed conditions may limit SRCM’s discretionary authority, such as where the client
prohibits transactions in specific security types or directs SRCM to execute transactions through specific broker-dealers.
See also Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions and ITEM 12 – BROKERAGE PRACTICES, above.
Non-Discretionary
For non-discretionary accounts, SRCM will contact the client before making recommendations we deem appropriate
for the client. Non-discretionary clients should be aware that recommendations are typically time sensitive and the
following circumstances may cause market movements to work against the client:
1. SRCM will not effect the transaction until we receive verbal or written instructions from the client;
2. SRCM generally will not aggregate transactions for non-discretionary accounts with discretionary and limited-
discretionary accounts; and
3. Transactions for non-discretionary accounts will generally be effected after transactions in discretionary and
limited-discretionary accounts.
Retirement Plan Services
When providing Retirement Plan Services described herein, we may exercise discretionary authority or control over
the investments specified in the Agreement. We perform these services to the Plan as a fiduciary under ERISA Section
3(21) and investment manager under ERISA Section 3(38). We are legally required to act with the degree of diligence,
care and skill that a prudent person rendering similar services would exercise under similar circumstances. This
discretionary authority is specifically granted to us by Sponsor, as specified in the Agreement (see also, ITEM 4 –
ADVISORY BUSINESS above).
ITEM 17 – VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
Proxy Voting
SRCM does not accept or have the authority to vote client securities. SRCM will not be deemed to have proxy voting
authority solely as a result of providing advice or information about a particular proxy vote to a client. Clients will
receive their proxies or other solicitations directly from their custodian or a transfer agent. If required by the nature of
a particular Third-Party Adviser relationship, SRCM retains the authority, with client consent, to delegate proxy voting
authority to a Third-Party Adviser.
A: Retirement Plans
SRCM has no authority or responsibility to vote any security held by the retirement plans or the related proxies.
That authority is reserved by the Sponsor or trustee of the retirement plan.
Page 29 of 30
Date of Brochure: October 15, 2026
B: Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds
The investment adviser that manages the assets of a registered investment company (i.e., mutual fund) generally
votes proxies issued on securities held by the fund.
Class Actions
SRCM does not instruct or give advice to clients on whether or not to participate as a member of class action lawsuits
and will not automatically file claims on the client’s behalf. However, if a client notifies us that they wish to participate
in a class action, we will provide the client with any transaction information pertaining to the client’s account needed
for the client to file a proof of claim in a class action.
ITEM 18 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Registered investment advisers are required in this item to provide clients with certain financial information or
disclosures about the firm’s financial condition. SRCM does not require the prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees
per client, six months or more in advance, and does not foresee any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair
our ability to meet contractual commitments to clients.
