Item 4: Advisory Business
A. Description of the Advisory Firm
Southern Capital Services, Inc. is a Corporation organized in the state of Alabama.
This firm has been in business since August of 1982, and the principal owner is Terry E.
Nager.
B. Types of Advisory Services
Southern Capital Services, Inc. (hereinafter “SCS”) offers the following services to
advisory clients:
Investment Supervisory Services
SCS offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals,
objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. SCS creates an Investment
Policy Statement for each client, which outlines the client’s current situation (income, and
risk tolerance levels) and then constructs a plan (the Investment Policy Statement) to aid
in the selection of a portfolio that matches each client’s specific situation. Investment
Supervisory Services include, but are not limited to, the following:
•
•
•
Investment strategy •
•
Asset allocation
•
Risk tolerance
Personal investment policy
Asset selection
Regular portfolio monitoring
SCS evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance
levels and time horizon. Risk tolerance levels are documented in the Investment Policy
Statement, which is given to each client.
Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments
SCS generally limits its money management to mutual funds, equities, bonds, fixed
income, debt securities, ETFs, REITs, insurance products including annuities, and
government securities. SCS may use other securities as well to help diversify a portfolio
when applicable.
Written Acknowledgement of Fiduciary Status
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or
individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as
applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money
1
creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires
us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special
rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations
(give prudent advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations
(give loyal advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in
your best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
SCS offers the same suite of services to all of its clients. However, specific client financial
plans and their implementation are dependent upon the client Investment Policy
Statement which outlines each client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk
tolerance levels) and is used to construct a client specific plan to aid in the selection of a
portfolio that matches restrictions, needs, and targets.
Clients may impose restrictions in investing in certain securities or types of securities in
accordance with their values or beliefs. However, if the restrictions prevent SCS from
properly servicing the client account, or if the restrictions would require SCS to deviate
from its standard suite of services, SCS reserves the right to end the relationship.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
A wrap fee program is an investment program where the investor pays one stated fee that
includes management fees, transaction costs, fund expenses, and any other administrative
fees. SCS DOES NOT participate in any wrap fee programs.
E. Amounts Under Management
SCS has the following assets under management:
Discretionary Amounts: Non-discretionary Amounts: Date Calculated:
$191,499,824
$980,727

0.70%
$5,000,000 - $9,999,999

$10,000,000 and Above
0.50%
These fees are negotiable depending upon the needs of the client and complexity of the
situation, and the final fee schedule is attached as Exhibit II of the Investment Advisory
Contract. Fees are paid quarterly in advance, and clients may terminate their contracts
with thirty days written notice. Advisory fees are withdrawn directly from the client’s
accounts with client written authorization.
Refunds are given on a prorated basis, based on the number of days remaining in a quarter
at the point of termination. Fees that are collected in advance will be refunded based on
the prorated amount of work completed up to the day of termination within the quarter
terminated. The fee refunded will be the balance of the fees collected in advance minus
the daily rate* times the number of days in the quarter up to and including the day of
termination. (*The daily rate is calculated by dividing the quarterly AUM fee by the
number of days in the termination quarter). Clients may terminate their contracts without
penalty, for full refund, within 5 business days of signing the advisory contract.
In cases where Advisor fees are directly deducted, Advisor is required to a.) Obtain client
authorization, b.) Disclose that the custodian will send monthly statements to the client
wherein Advisor fees are itemized.
3
B. Payment of Fees
Payment of Investment Supervisory Fees
Advisory fees are withdrawn directly from the client’s accounts with client written
authorization. Fees are paid quarterly in advance.
C. Clients Are Responsible For Third Party Fees
Clients are responsible for the payment of all third-party fees (i.e. custodian fees,
brokerage fees, mutual fund fees, transaction fees, etc.). Those fees are separate and
distinct from the fees and expenses charged by SCS. Please see Item 12 of this brochure
regarding broker/custodian.
D. Prepayment of Fees
SCS collects fees in advance. Fees that are collected in advance will be refunded based on
the prorated amount of work completed at the point of termination and the total days
during the billing period. Fees will be returned within sixty days to the client via mailed
check.
The fee refunded will be the balance of the fees collected in advance minus the daily rate*
times the number of days in the quarter up to and including the day of termination. (*The
daily rate is calculated by dividing the quarterly AUM fee by the number of days in the
termination quarter).
E. Outside Compensation For the Sale of Securities to Clients
Neither SCS nor its supervised persons accept any compensation for the sale of securities
or other investment products, including asset-based sales charges or services fees from
the sale of mutual funds.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
SCS does not accept performance-based fees or other fees based on a share of capital gains on or
capital appreciation of the assets of a client.
4
Item 7: Types of Clients
SCS generally provides management supervisory services to the following types of clients:
❖ Individuals
❖ High-Net-Worth Individuals
❖ Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans
❖ Trusts, Estates, or Charitable Organizations
❖ Corporations or Business Entities
Minimum Account Size
There is no account minimum.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of
Investment Loss
A. Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
Methods of Analysis
SCS’s primary methods of analysis include fundamental and technical analysis.
Fundamental analysis involves the analysis of financial statements, the general financial
health of companies, and/or the analysis of management or competitive advantages.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data; primarily price and volume.
Investment Strategies
SCS uses long term trading, short term trading, and options writing (covered options).
Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared
to bear.
B. Material Risks Involved
Methods of Analysis
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
5
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 work long term.
Investment Strategies
Long term trading is designed to capture market rates of both return and risk. Frequent
trading, when done, can affect investment performance, particularly through increased
brokerage and other transaction costs and taxes.
Short term trading and options writing generally hold greater risk and clients should be
aware that there is a material risk of loss using any of those strategies.
Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared
to bear.
C. Risks of Specific Securities Utilized
SCS generally seeks investment strategies that do not involve significant or unusual risk
beyond that of the general domestic and/or international equity markets. However, it
may utilize options writing which generally hold greater risk of capital loss and clients
should be aware that there is a material risk of loss using any of those strategies.
Mutual Funds: Investing in mutual funds carries the risk of capital loss. Mutual funds are
not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. You can lose
money investing in mutual funds. All mutual funds have costs that lower investment
returns. They can be of bond “fixed income” nature (lower risk) or stock “equity” nature
(mentioned above).
Equity investment generally refers to buying shares of stocks by an individual or firms in
return for receiving a future payment of dividends and capital gains if the value of the
stock increases. There is an innate risk involved when purchasing a stock that it may
decrease in value and the investment may incur a loss.
Treasury Inflation Protected/Inflation Linked Bonds: The Risk of default on these bonds
is dependent upon the U.S. Treasury defaulting (extremely unlikely); however, they carry
a potential risk of losing share price value, albeit rather minimal.
Fixed Income is an investment that guarantees fixed periodic payments in the future that
may involve economic risks such as inflationary risk, interest rate risk, default risk,
repayment of principal risk, etc.
Debt securities carry risks such as the possibility of default on the principal, fluctuation
in interest rates, and counterparties being unable to meet obligations.
Stocks & Exchange Traded Funds (ETF): Investing in stocks & ETF's carries the risk of
capital loss (sometimes up to a 100% loss in the case of a stock holding bankruptcy).
Investments in these securities are not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any other
government agency.
6
REITs have specific risks including valuation due to cash flows, dividends paid in stock
rather than cash, and the payment of debt resulting in dilution of shares.
Precious Metal ETFs (Gold, Silver, Palladium Bullion backed “electronic shares” not
physical metal): Investing in precious metal ETFs carries the risk of capital loss.
Long term trading is designed to capture market rates of both return and risk. Due to
its nature, the long-term investment strategy can expose clients to various other types of
risk that will typically surface at various intervals during the time the client owns the
investments. These risks include but are not limited to inflation (purchasing power) risk,
interest rate risk, economic risk, market risk, and political/regulatory risk.
Short term trading risks include liquidity, economic stability and inflation.
Options writing involve a contract to purchase a security at a given price, not
necessarily at market value, depending on the market.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities involves a
risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
A. Criminal or Civil Actions
There are no criminal or civil actions to report.
B. Administrative Proceedings
There are no administrative proceedings to report.
C. Self-regulatory Organization (SRO) Proceedings
There are no self-regulatory organization proceedings to report.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
A. Registration as a Broker/Dealer or Broker/Dealer
Representative
Neither SCS nor its representatives are registered as or have pending applications to
become a broker/dealer or as representatives of a broker/dealer.
7
B. Registration as a Futures Commission Merchant, Commodity
Pool Operator, or a Commodity Trading Advisor
Neither SCS nor its representatives are registered as or have pending applications to
become a Futures Commission Merchant, Commodity Pool Operator, or a Commodity
Trading Advisor.
C. Registration Relationships Material to this Advisory Business
and Possible Conflicts of Interests
The Advisor offers advisory services on the premises of unaffiliated financial institutions
and has an arrangement to share its advisory compensation with the financial institution
for use of the premises and administrative support.
D. Selection of Other Advisers or Managers and How This
Adviser is Compensated for Those Selections
SCS does not utilize nor select other advisers or third party managers. All assets are
managed by SCS management.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
We have a written Code of Ethics that covers the following areas: Prohibited Purchases
and Sales, Insider Trading, Personal Securities Transactions, Exempted Transactions,
Prohibited Activities, Conflicts of Interest, Gifts and Entertainment, Confidentiality,
Service on a Board of Directors, Compliance Procedures, Compliance with Laws and
Regulations, Procedures and Reporting, Certification of Compliance, Reporting
Violations, Compliance Officer Duties, Training and Education, Recordkeeping, Annual
Review, and Sanctions. Our Code of Ethics is available free upon request to any client or
prospective client.
B. Recommendations Involving Material Financial Interests
SCS does not recommend that clients buy or sell any security in which a related person to
SCS or SCS has a material financial interest.
8
C. Investing Personal Money in the Same Securities as Clients
From time to time, representatives of SCS may buy or sell securities for themselves that
they also recommend to clients. This may provide an opportunity for representatives of
SCS to buy or sell the same securities before or after recommending the same securities
to clients resulting in representatives profiting off the recommendations they provide to
clients. Such transactions may create a conflict of interest. SCS will always document
any transactions that could be construed as conflicts of interest and will always transact
client business before their own when similar securities are being bought or sold.
D. Trading Securities At/Around the Same Time as Clients’
Securities
From time to time, representatives of SCS may buy or sell securities for themselves at or
around the same time as clients. This may provide an opportunity for representatives of
SCS to buy or sell securities before or after recommending securities to clients resulting in
representatives profiting off the recommendations they provide to clients. Such
transactions may create a conflict of interest. SCS will always transact client’s transactions
before its own when similar securities are being bought or sold.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
A. Factors Used to Select Custodians and/or Broker/Dealers
The Custodians, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services for primary accounts,
Union Bank and Trust for 529 Plans, Jefferson National for low fee annuities, were chosen
based on their relatively low transaction fees and access to mutual funds and ETFs. SCS
will never charge a premium or commission on transactions, beyond the actual cost
imposed by Custodian.
1. Research and Other Soft-Dollar Benefits
SCS receives no research, product, or services other than execution from a broker-
dealer or third-party in connection with client securities transactions (“soft dollar
benefits”).
2. Brokerage for Client Referrals
SCS receives no referrals from a broker-dealer or third party in exchange for using that
broker-dealer or third party.
9
3. Clients Directing Which Broker/Dealer/Custodian to Use
SCS will not allow clients to direct SCS to use a specific broker-dealer to execute
transactions. Clients must use SCS recommended custodian (broker-dealer).
B. Aggregating (Block) Trading for Multiple Client Accounts
SCS maintains the ability to block trade purchases across accounts. Block trading may
benefit a large group of clients by providing SCS the ability to purchase larger blocks
resulting in smaller transaction costs to the client. Declining to block trade can cause
more expensive trades for clients.
Item 13: Reviews of Accounts
A. Frequency and Nature of Periodic Reviews and Who Makes
Those Reviews
Client accounts are reviewed at least monthly by Terry E. Nager, President, and Wendy
Nelson Bailey, Vice-President, Chief Compliance Officer and Co-Chief Investment
Officer. Terry E. Nager is the chief advisor and Wendy Nelson Bailey is co-advisor.
Together they’re instructed to review clients’ accounts with regards to their investment
policies and risk tolerance levels. All accounts at SCS are assigned to these reviewers.
B. Factors That Will Trigger a Non-Periodic Review of Client
Accounts
Reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events, or by changes
in client's financial situations (such as retirement, termination of employment, physical
move, or inheritance).
C. Content and Frequency of Regular Reports Provided to Clients
Each client will receive at least monthly from the custodian, a written report that details
the client’s account including assets held and asset value which will come from the
custodian.
10
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Economic Benefits Provided by Third Parties for Advice
Rendered to Clients (Includes Sales Awards or Other Prizes)
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services provides SCS with access to Charles Schwab
& Co., Inc. Advisor Services’ institutional trading and custody services, which are
typically not available to Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services retail investors.
These services generally are available to independent investment advisers on an
unsolicited basis, at no charge to them so long as a total of at least $10 million of the
adviser’s clients’ assets are maintained in accounts at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor
Services. Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services includes brokerage services that are
related to the execution of securities transactions, custody, research, including that in the
form of advice, analyses and reports, and access to mutual funds and other investments
that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require a
significantly higher minimum initial investment. For SCS client accounts maintained in
its custody, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services generally does not charge
separately for custody services but is compensated by account holders through
commissions or other transaction-related or asset-based fees for securities trades that are
executed through Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services or that settle into Charles
Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services accounts.
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services also makes available to SCS other products
and services that benefit SCS but may not benefit its clients’ accounts. These benefits may
include national, regional or SCS specific educational events organized and/or sponsored
by Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services. Other potential benefits may include
occasional business entertainment of personnel of SCS by Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
Advisor Services personnel, including meals, invitations to sporting events, including golf
tournaments, and other forms of entertainment, some of which may accompany
educational opportunities. Other of these products and services assist SCS in managing
and administering clients’ accounts. These include software and other technology (and
related technological training) that provide access to client account data (such as trade
confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution (and allocation of
aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts, if applicable), provide research,
pricing information and other market data, facilitate payment of SCS’s fees from its
clients’ accounts (if applicable), and assist with back-office training and support functions,
recordkeeping and client reporting. Many of these services generally may be used to
service all or some substantial number of SCS’s accounts. Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
Advisor Services also makes available to SCS other services intended to help SCS manage
and further develop its business enterprise. These services may include professional
compliance, legal and business consulting, publications and conferences on practice
management, information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance,
employee benefits providers, and human capital consultants, insurance and marketing. In
addition, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services may make available, arrange
and/or pay vendors for these types of services rendered to SCS by independent third
11
parties. Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services may discount or waive fees it would
otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party
providing these services to SCS. SCS is independently owned and operated and not
affiliated with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services.
B. Compensation to Non – Advisory Personnel for Client
Referrals
SCS subscribes to Dave Ramsey, and SmartAsset, all of which are lead generation services
for Registered Investment Advisers and other financial professionals. In exchange for
these services, SCS pays annually, monthly and/or one-time fees depending on the fee
arrangement of the service.
Item 15: Custody
SCS, with client written authority, has limited custody of client’s assets through direct fee
deduction of SCS’s Fees only. If the client chooses to be billed directly by the Custodians, SCS
would have constructive custody over that account and must have written authorization from
the client to do so. Clients will receive all required account statements and billing invoices that
are required in each jurisdiction, and they should carefully review those statements for accuracy.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
For those client accounts where SCS provides ongoing supervision, the client has given SCS
written discretionary authority over the client’s accounts with respect to securities to be bought
or sold and the amount of securities to be bought or sold. Details of this relationship are fully
disclosed to the client before any advisory relationship has commenced. The client provides SCS
discretionary authority via a limited power of attorney in the Investment Advisory Contract and
in the contract between the client and the custodian.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities (Proxy Voting)
SCS will not ask for, nor accept voting authority for client securities. Clients will receive proxies
directly from the issuer of the security or the custodian. Clients should direct all proxy questions
to the issuer of the security.
12
Item 18: Financial Information
A. Balance Sheet
SCS does not require nor solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six
months or more in advance and therefore does not need to include a balance sheet with
this brochure.
B. Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Ability to
Meet Contractual Commitments to Clients
Neither SCS nor its management has any financial condition that is likely to reasonably
impair SCS’s ability to meet contractual commitments to clients.
C. Bankruptcy Petitions in Previous Ten Years
SCS has never been the subject of a bankruptcy petition.
