ITEM 4: SERVICES, FEES AND COMPENSATION
A. FPN manages individually allocated portfolios, providing ongoing advice to the client
based on the individual needs, client profile and risk tolerance of the client. When
suitable for the client, we recommend the use of Third-Party Managers, Outside
Managers, or Sub-Advisors (TAMPs) for portfolio management services. When FPN
recommends a Sub-Advisor, the Client shall authorize and direct the Custodian (as
defined) to pay to Sub-Advisor the Management Fee out of the Account upon the
Custodian's receipt of a statement from the Sub-Advisor. Please note, the Sub-Advisor’s
fee will be charged separately and in addition to FPN’s fee. Client will sign a separate
contract with each Sub-Advisor, stipulating the frequency and amount of payments, as
well as the calculation used to assess the advisory fee. Fees are negotiable. Families may
use combined AUM totals for billing purposes.
The WRAP fee charged for the program are according to the following fee schedule:

$0 - $500,000
$500,000 - $1,000,000

B. The wrap program may cost the client more or less than purchasing such services
separately, based on factors such as trading activity in the client’s account.
C. The client may pay certain fees in addition to the wrap fee, such as custodial fees, charges
imposed directly by a mutual fund, index fund, or exchange traded fund, which shall be
disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (e.g., fund management fees and other fund expenses),
mark-ups and mark-downs, spreads paid to market makers, wire transfer fees and other
fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. These fees are not
included in the wrap fee that is charged by our firm. When managing a client's account on
a wrap fee basis, we receive as compensation for our investment advisory services, the
balance of the total wrap [or program] fee you pay after custodial, trading and other
management costs (including execution and transaction fees) have been deducted.
Accordingly, we have a conflict of interest because we have a financial incentive to
4
maximize our compensation by seeking to reduce or minimize the total costs incurred in
your account(s) subject to a wrap fee.
D. FPN does not compensate any person other than firm personnel as a result of the client’s
participation in the wrap program.
ITEM 5: ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS AND TYPES OF CLIENTS
We do not have a minimum account size requirement.
We provide investment advice to individuals, high net-worth individuals, pension and profit-
sharing plans, charitable organizations, and corporations or other businesses.
ITEM 6: PORTFOLIO MANAGER SELECTION AND EVALUATION
A. Portfolio managers are selected based on investment management strategies and models
that are deemed suitability for clients. Portfolio managers must be appropriately
registered and properly positioned to provide quality execution of client transactions.
1. FPN uses industry standards to calculate portfolio manager performance.
2. FPN reviews performance information to determine or verify its accuracy and its
compliance with presentation standards.
3. Performance information is calculated on a uniform and consistent basis.
B. FPN and its advisers sponsor and act as portfolio managers for the wrap fee program
described in this wrap fee program brochure. This may create a conflict of interest in that
other investment advisory firms may charge the same or lower fees than our firm for
similar services. Our related person portfolio managers are not subject to the same
selection and review as outside portfolio managers that participate in the wrap fee
program.
C. Advisory Business
FPN and its Investment Adviser Representatives act as a portfolio manager(s) for FPN’s wrap
fee program. See Item 4 of this wrap fee program brochure for more information about our wrap
fee advisory programs.
Tailored Advice and Client Imposed Restrictions
FPN tailors’ investment management and financial planning services to the individual needs of
clients, by collecting client profile and suitability data at the commencement of the engagement,
to assess the client’s risk tolerance and investment objectives. For Financial Planning clients,
Adviser collects relevant data to the client’s financial planning. Needs to provide specifically
tailored advice. When suitable for the client, we recommend the use of Third-Party Managers,
5
Outside Managers, or Sub-Advisors (TAMPs) for portfolio management services. Clients may
impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. The methods
of analysis and investment strategies Adviser uses in formulating investment advice or managing
assets are as follows:
A. Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) is a practical method for selecting investments to
maximize their overall returns within an acceptable level of risk. A key component of the
MPT theory is diversification. Most investments are either high risk and high return or
low risk and low return. The underlying principles of MPT include the theory that the
only acceptable risk is that which is adequately compensated by an expected return. Risk
and investment return are related and an increase in risk requires an increased expected
return.
Additionally, MPT suggests that markets are efficient. The same market information is
available to all investors at the same time, so the market prices every security fairly based
upon this equal availability of information. The design of the portfolio is more important
than the selection of any particular security. The appropriate allocation of capital among
asset classes will have far more influence on long-term portfolio performance than the
selection of individual securities. Increasing diversification of the portfolio with lower
correlated asset class positions can decrease portfolio risk. Correlation is the statistical
term for the extent to which two asset classes move in tandem or opposition to one
another.
B. Fundamental Analysis involves analyzing individual companies and their industry
groups, such as a company’s financial statements, details regarding the company’s
product line, the experience, and expertise of the company’s management, and the
outlook for the company’s industry. The resulting data is used to measure the true value
of the company’s stock compared to the current market value. The risk of fundamental
analysis is that the information obtained may be incorrect and the analysis may not
provide an accurate estimate of earnings, which may be the basis for a stock’s value. If
securities prices adjust rapidly to new information, utilizing fundamental analysis may
not result in favorable performance.
C. Technical Analysis involves using chart patterns, momentum, volume, and relative
strength to pick sectors that may outperform market indices. However, there is no
assurance of accurate forecasts or that trends will develop in the markets we follow. In
the past, there have been periods without discernible trends and similar periods will
presumably occur in the future. Even where major trends develop, outside factors like
government intervention could potentially shorten them.
D. Cyclical Analysis is a type of technical analysis that involves evaluating recurring price
patterns and trends based upon business cycles. Economic/business cycles may not be
6
predictable and may have many fluctuations between long-term expansions and
contractions. The lengths of economic cycles may be difficult to predict with accuracy
and therefore the risk of cyclical analysis is the difficulty in predicting economic trends
and consequently the changing value of securities that would be affected by these
changing trends.
E. Charting Analysis involves the gathering and processing of price and volume
information for a particular security. This price and volume information is analyzed
using mathematical equations. The resulting data is then applied to graphing charts,
which is used to predict future price movements based on price patterns and trends.
Charts may not accurately predict future price movements. Current prices of securities
may not reflect all information about the security and day-to-day changes in market
prices of securities may follow random patterns and may not be predictable with any
reliable degree of accuracy.
F. Use of Sub-Advisers: Adviser may refer Clients to third-party investment advisers
("outside managers"). Our analysis of outside managers involves the examination of the
experience, expertise, investment philosophies, and past performance of the outside
managers to determine if that manager has demonstrated an ability to invest over a period
and in different economic conditions. We monitor the manager's underlying holdings,
strategies, concentrations, and leverage as part of our overall periodic risk assessment.
Additionally, as part of our due diligence process, we survey the manager's compliance
and business enterprise risks. A risk of investing with an outside manager who has been
successful in the past is that he or she may not be able to replicate that success in the
future. In addition, as Adviser does not control the underlying investments in an outside
manager's portfolio. There is also a risk that a manager may deviate from the stated
investment mandate or strategy of the portfolio, making it a less suitable investment for
our Clients. Moreover, as we do not control the manager's daily business and compliance
operations, we may be unaware of the lack of internal controls necessary to prevent
business, regulatory or reputational deficiencies.
Voting Client Securities
Adviser does not vote client proxies. Clients will receive their proxies and other solicitations
directly from their custodian. Clients can contact us at the phone number/email address on the
cover page of this brochure with questions about a particular solicitation.
ITEM 7: CLIENT INFORMATION PROVIDED TO PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
We are required to describe the information about you that we communicate to your portfolio
manager(s), and how often or under what circumstances we provide updated information. Our
firm communicates with your portfolio manager(s) on a regular basis as needed (daily, weekly,
monthly, etc.) to ensure the most current investment goals and objectives are understood by your
portfolio manager(s). In most cases, we will communicate such information as part of our regular
investment management duties. Nevertheless, we will also communicate information to your
7
portfolio manager(s) when you ask us to, when market or economic conditions make it prudent
to do so.
ITEM 8: CLIENT CONTACT WITH PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
Our clients may directly contact their portfolio manager(s) with questions or concerns by calling
the phone number on this Brochure.
ITEM 9: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Disciplinary Information
The Adviser and its management personnel have not been the subject of any legal, regulatory, or
disciplinary events that are material to a client’s or prospective client’s evaluation of the Adviser
or the integrity of the Adviser’s management. Accordingly, there are no disciplinary events to
disclose under this Item.
Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Neither the Adviser nor its management persons are registered, or have applications pending to
register, as a broker-dealer or as a registered representative of a broker-dealer. In addition,
neither the Adviser nor its management persons are registered, or have applications pending to
register, as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, commodity trading
advisor, or as an associated person of any such entities.
Certain related persons of the Adviser, including Julie Hetland and Molly Murphy, may be
licensed insurance agents and may receive compensation from unaffiliated insurance brokers,
including Ash Brokerage and Highland Capital, in connection with the recommendation or sale
of insurance products. This compensation creates a conflict of interest because it provides an
incentive to recommend insurance products or insurance brokers based on compensation
received rather than solely on a client’s needs. The Adviser addresses this conflict by requiring
that recommendations be made in the client’s best interest, and clients are under no obligation to
purchase insurance products or to engage any recommended insurance broker.
The Adviser may also recommend the services of unaffiliated investment advisers or managers.
The Adviser does not maintain any other business relationship with such advisers that would
create a material conflict of interest. Any advisory fees charged by the Adviser are separate from,
and in addition to, the fees charged by such advisers and are disclosed to clients prior to
engagement. Clients are not required, contractually or otherwise, to engage the services of any
outside investment adviser recommended by the Adviser.
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transaction and Personal Trading
The Adviser has adopted a written Code of Ethics that applies to all advisory activities, including
Retirement Plan engagements and rollover-related advice. The Code of Ethics addresses, among
other things, standards of conduct, professional duties to clients, conflicts of interest, personal
securities transactions, reporting requirements for access persons, gifts and entertainment,
8
political contributions (“pay-to-play”), reporting of violations, and disciplinary actions. A copy
of the Adviser’s Code of Ethics is available to any client or prospective client upon request at no
cost.
The Adviser does not recommend that clients purchase or sell any security in which the Adviser
or a related person has a material financial interest.
The Adviser and its related persons may invest in the same securities, or in related securities
(such as warrants, options, or futures), that are recommended to clients. This practice creates a
potential conflict of interest because the Adviser or its related persons could benefit from market
activity resulting from client transactions or have influence over the timing or pricing of trades.
The Adviser addresses this conflict through the policies and procedures contained in its Code of
Ethics, including prohibitions on “front-running” and other improper trading practices, and by
requiring access persons and related persons to adhere to applicable personal trading restrictions
and reporting requirements.
The Adviser or its related persons may also recommend securities to clients, or execute
transactions for client accounts, at or about the same time that the Adviser or related persons buy
or sell the same securities for their own accounts. The Adviser mitigates the conflicts associated
with such concurrent trading by enforcing its Code of Ethics and supervisory procedures
designed to promote fair and equitable treatment of clients.
Review of Accounts
The CCO will ensure Adviser periodically reviews client accounts and financial plans, on no less
than an annual basis.
Additional reviews of client accounts and financial plans may be triggered by volatile market
conditions, changes to client profile information and investment objectives, and any
communication by the client of imposed investment restrictions.
Adviser will provide written reports to Investment Advisory clients on no less than an annual basis.
We urge Clients to compare these reports against the account statements they receive from their
custodian.
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Adviser does not receive any economic benefit, directly or indirectly, from anyone who is not a
client for advice rendered to our clients. Nor does Adviser, directly or indirectly, compensate any
person who is not advisory personnel for client referrals.
Adviser and its related persons do not directly or indirectly compensate any person who is not our
supervised person for client referrals.
Financial Information
9
The Adviser does not have any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability
to meet contractual commitments to clients. In addition, the Adviser does not require or solicit
prepayment of advisory fees in excess of $1,200 per client, six months or more in advance.
