Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Capstone Wealth Management Group, LLC (“Capstone” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Capstone is organized as a Limited Liability Company
(“LLC”) under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Capstone was founded in July 2016, and is
owned and operated by Bryan A. Kupchik (Principal, Chief Compliance Officer and Wealth Manager). This
Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory
services provided by Capstone.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Capstone offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, families, trusts, estates,
businesses and charitable organizations (each referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As such, each
recommendation made as part of the advisory services is based on the belief that the recommendation is in the
Client's best interest. Capstone’s fiduciary commitment to each Client is further described in the Advisor’s Code
of Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation
or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Wealth Management Services
Capstone generally provides Clients with customized wealth management services, which includes discretionary
management of investment portfolios in connection with a broad range of comprehensive financial planning
services. Capstone works with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk
tolerance and financial situation in order to create an investment strategy.
Investment Management Services - The Advisor offers investment management services either as a component
of wealth management or pursuant to a stand-alone interment management agreement. Capstone provides
customized investment management solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal Client
contact and interaction while providing discretionary and/or non-discretionary investment management and
related advisory services. Capstone works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and
objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. Capstone will
then construct a portfolio, consisting of low-cost, diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”),
individual stocks and fixed income securities to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also
utilize other types of investments, as appropriate, to meet the needs of each particular Client. The Advisor may
retain certain legacy investments from the Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-
related reasons, or other reasons as identified between the Advisor and the Client.
Capstone will develop a long-term asset allocation that serves as the core portfolio strategy for each client. In
addition, the Advisor will employ a tactical overlay for a portion of the Client’s portfolio. The Advisor may buy, sell
or re-allocate positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to
market conditions. Capstone will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals,
objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to
place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to
acceptance by the Advisor.
Capstone evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. Capstone may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the
portfolio. Capstone may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor
may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement. Capstone may
recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses,
business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the
position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any
risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.

Page 4
At no time will Capstone accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited
authority outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within their designated account[s] at
the Custodian, pursuant to the advisory agreement. For additional information, please see Item 12 – Brokerage
Practices.
Retirement Accounts – When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will recommend that a Client
take a distribution from an ERISA sponsored plan or to roll over the assets to an Individual Retirement Accounts
(“IRAs”), or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to another, one
IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account to fee-
based account). In such instances, the Advisor will serve as an investment fiduciary as that term is defined under
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as
applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if
the Advisor will earn a new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under
any obligation to roll over a retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
Financial Planning Services - The Advisor offers financial planning either as a component of its wealth
management services or pursuant to a separate stand-alone financial planning agreement. Services are offered
in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals and objectives. Generally, such
financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific financial consultation
based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more
areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education
savings, insurance needs and other areas of a Client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered, to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs. Capstone may also refer
Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialist, as appropriate for their unique situation. For certain
financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of Client’s financial situation,
observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may not provide a
written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six months of contract date, assuming all
information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the
Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for investment
management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would increase the
amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made
by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the
recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through
the Advisor. Financial planning services may be included in an overall wealth management engagement or
provided as a separate service, pursuant to the terms of the agreement with the Client.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Capstone provides retirement plan advisory services on behalf of retirement plans (each a “Plan”) and the
company (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the Plan
Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Each engagement is customized
to the needs of the Plan and the Plan Sponsor. Services generally include:
Investment Management Services (ERISA 3(38))

• ERISA 404(c) Assistance
• Benchmarking Services
These services are provided by Capstone serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the Employment
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2),
the Plan Sponsor is provided with a written description of Capstone’s fiduciary status, the specific services to be
rendered and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects to receive under the
engagement.
Use of Independent Managers
When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, Capstone will recommend that Clients utilize one or more
unaffiliated investment managers or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a
portion of a Client’s investment portfolio, based on the Client’s needs and objectives. In certain instances, the
Client may be required to authorize and enter into an investment management agreement with the Independent
Manager[s] that defines the terms in which the Independent Manager[s] will provide its services. The Advisor will
perform initial and ongoing oversight and due diligence over each Independent Manager to ensure the strategy
remains aligned with Clients investment objectives and overall best interests. The Advisor will also assist the
Client in the development of the initial policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship.
The Client, prior to entering into an agreement with an Independent Manager, will be provided with the
Independent Manager's Form ADV Part 2A - Disclosure Brochure (or a brochure that makes the appropriate
disclosures).
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Capstone to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or
more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor
and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – Capstone will work with each Client to develop a custom
investment strategy designed in connection with the Client’s investment goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Capstone will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – Capstone will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated
goals and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – Capstone will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Capstone does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services
are provided directly by Capstone.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, Capstone manages approximately $356,144,460 in Client assets, $312,056,196 of
which are managed on a discretionary basis and $44,088,264 on a non-discretionary basis. Clients may request
more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client shall sign one or more agreements that detail the responsibilities of Capstone and the Client.

A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are generally paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms
of the investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are charged at an annual rate ranging from 0.00%
to 1.75% depending on several factors, including the overall the size of the relationship and the complexity of the
services to be provided. Fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of the prior
quarter.
Investment Management Services
Investment management fees are generally paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the
terms of the investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are charged at an annual rate ranging from
0.00% to 1.75% depending on several factors, including the overall the size of the relationship and the complexity of
the services to be provided. Fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of the
prior quarter.
The fees for wealth management services or investment management services in the first quarter of service are
prorated from the inception date of the Client’s account[s] to the end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at
the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under
management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by Capstone will be independently valued
by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuations to ensure accurate
billing.
Clients may make additions to and withdrawals from their account[s] at any time, subject to Capstone’s right to
terminate an account. Additions may be in cash or securities provided that Capstone reserves the right to liquidate
any transferred securities or decline to accept particular securities into a Client’s account[s]. Clients may withdraw
account assets on notice to Capstone, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures.
However, Capstone designs its portfolios as long-term investments and the withdrawal of assets may impair the
achievement of a Client’s investment objectives. Capstone may consult with its Clients about the options and
ramifications of transferring securities. However, Clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated,
they are subject to transaction fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (i.e. contingent deferred sales charge)
and/or tax ramifications.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and
other related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the
Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Financial Planning Services
When offered as a stand-alone service, Capstone offers financial planning services either on an hourly basis or for
a fixed fee. Hourly fees are billed at a rate of up to $300 per hour. Fixed fee engagements are negotiated based on
the expected number of hours to complete the engagement at the Advisor’s hourly rate. Fees may be negotiable at
the sole discretion of the Advisor, depending on the nature and complexity of services to be provided. An estimate
for total hours and/or costs will be provided to the Client prior to engaging for these services.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory fees are charged quarterly, generally at the end of each calendar quarter,
pursuant to the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement. Fees are based on the market value of assets in
the Plan at the end of the quarter. Fees range from 0.25% to 0.75% annually and may be negotiable depending on
the size and complexity of the Plan.
Use of Independent Managers
As noted in Item 4, the Advisor may implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio utilizing one or more
Independent Managers. To eliminate any conflict of interest, the Advisor does not earn any compensation from an
Independent Manager. The Advisor will only earn its investment advisory fee as described above. Independent
Managers typically do not offer any fee discounts but may have a breakpoint schedule which will reduce the fee
Capstone Wealth Management Group, LLC
1202 Meade Street, Dunmore, PA 18512
Phone: (888) 587-7526 * Fax: (570) 587-5822
http://www.Capstone-Wealth.com
Page 7
with an increased level of assets placed under management with an Independent Manager. The terms of such fee
arrangements are included in the Independent Manager’s disclosure brochure and applicable contract[s] with the
Independent Manager. The total blended fee, including the Advisor’s fee and the Independent Manager’s fee, will
not exceed 1.50% annually.
B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management Services / Investment Management Services
Fees are calculated by the Custodian and deducted from the Client’s account[s]. The Client shall instruct the
Custodian to automatically deduct the advisory fees from the Client’s account[s] at the respective quarter-end date
The Custodian will utilize the fee rate, as defined in the advisory agreement, to indicate the fee to be deducted from
the Client’s account[s] and will distribute to the Advisor its portion of the advisory fees. The amount due is
calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management with
Capstone at the end of each quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the
Custodian reflecting deduction of the investment advisory fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify the
accuracy of these fees as listed on the Custodian’s brokerage statement as the Custodian does not assume this
responsibility. Clients provide written authorization permitting the Custodian to pay the Advisor by direct deduction
from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate account
forms provided by the Custodian.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning fees are invoiced up to 50% upon execution of the financial planning agreement with the balance
due upon completion of the engagement deliverable[s]. Certain Clients will have their planning fees included with
their overall investment advisory fees.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement Plan fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the assets of the Plan,
depending on the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement.
Use of Independent Managers
For Client accounts implemented through an Independent Manager, the Client’s overall fees may include
Capstone’s investment advisory fee (as noted above) plus investment management fees and/or platform fees
charged by the Independent Manager[s], as applicable. In certain instances, the Independent Manager or the
Advisor may assume responsibility for calculating the Client’s fees and deduct all fees from the Client’s account[s].
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Capstone, in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all securities execution and
custody fees charged by the Custodian, if applicable. The fees charged by Capstone are separate and distinct from
these custody and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to Capstone for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the expenses
charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in
each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds,
other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a possible
distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of Capstone, but
would not receive the services provided by Capstone which are designed, among other things, to assist the Client
in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial situation and objectives.
The Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by Capstone to fully
understand the total fees to be paid.

D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Wealth Management Services / Investment Management Services
Capstone is compensated for its services in advance of the quarter in which services are rendered. Either party
may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other
party. The Client may also terminate the investment advisory agreement within five (5) business days of signing the
Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide
advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon
termination, the Client shall be responsible for investment advisory fees up to and including the effective date of
termination. The Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid fees from the effective date of termination to the end of
the quarter. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s
prior consent.
Financial Planning Services
Capstone may be partially compensated for its financial planning services in advance the engagement (Please see
Item 5.A above.). Either party may terminate the financial planning agreement, at any time, by providing advance
written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the financial planning agreement within five (5)
business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will
incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and
payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Client shall be responsible for planning fees based on the hours
worked by the Advisor or in the event of a fixed fee engagement, the percentage of the engagement scope
completed by the Advisor. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid fees. The Client’s
financial planning agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Capstone is compensated for its retirement plan advisory services at the end of the quarter, after advisory services
are rendered. Either party may terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance
written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement within five
(5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client
will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and
payable by the Client. The Client shall be responsible for advisory fees up to and including the effective date of
termination. The Client’s retirement plan advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the
Client’s prior consent.
Use of Independent Managers
In the event that the Advisor has determined that an Independent Manager is no longer in the Client’s best interest
or a Client should wish to terminate their relationship with the Independent Manager, the terms for the termination
will be set forth in the respective agreements between the Client or the Advisor and the Independent Manager.
Capstone will assist the Client with the termination and transition as appropriate.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Capstone does not buy or sell securities and does not receive any compensation for securities transactions in any
Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Advisory Persons of Capstone are also be registered representatives of LPL Financial LLC ("LPL Financial"), a
securities broker-dealer, and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the Securities
Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). In one’s separate capacity as a registered representative of LPL Financial,
an Advisory Person will implement securities transactions under LPL Financial and not through Capstone. In such
instances, an Advisory Person will receive commission-based compensation in connection with the purchase and
sale of securities, including 12b-1 fees for the sale of investment company products. Compensation earned by an
Advisory Person in one’s capacity as a registered representative is separate and in addition to Capstone’s advisory
fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because Advisory Persons who are registered representatives may
have an incentive to effect securities transactions for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely
based on your needs. We mitigate this conflict in two ways. First, Clients are under no obligation, contractually or
otherwise, to purchase securities products through one of our Advisory Persons. Second, Capstone will not charge
Capstone Wealth Management Group, LLC
1202 Meade Street, Dunmore, PA 18512
Phone: (888) 587-7526 * Fax: (570) 587-5822
http://www.Capstone-Wealth.com
Page 9
an ongoing investment advisory fee on any assets implemented in the separate capacity of one of our Advisory
Persons. Please see Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations.
Certain Advisory Persons are licensed as independent insurance professionals. As an independent insurance
professional, an Advisory Person may earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products,
including insurance products offered to Clients. Insurance commissions earned by the Advisory Person are
separate and in addition to investment advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest as an Advisory
Person who is also an insurance professional will have an incentive to recommend insurance products to the Client
for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on the Client’s needs. Clients are under no
obligation, contractual or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through any Advisory Person affiliated with the
Advisor. Please see Item 10 below.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Capstone does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by
Capstone are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or
securities held by any Client.
Capstone does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual fund
or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Capstone offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, families, trusts, estates,
businesses and retirement plans. The amount of each type of Client is available on the Advisor's Form ADV Part
1A. These amounts may change over time and are updated at least annually by the Advisor. Capstone generally
does not impose a minimum account size for establishing a relationship. However, smaller accounts may be
subject to different investment selection and strategies. Certain Independent Managers may impose a minimum
fee in order for Clients to engage their services.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Capstone primarily employs a fundamental analysis method in developing investment strategies for its Clients.
Research and analysis from Capstone are derived from numerous sources, including financial media companies,
third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities, including annual reports,
prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. These criteria
are generally ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being
analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment
with a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a potential
investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment
criteria utilized in the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The
Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate.
More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
As noted above, Capstone generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with
their financial goals. Capstone will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year, but may hold
for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times,
Capstone may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the
Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class.

B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Capstone will assist Clients in determining an appropriate
strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a
Client will meet their investment goals.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the
Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals
or other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client
accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio
construction process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment approach:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading
risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a large
bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and
may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF
purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a
short time later.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of
the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a
mutual fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the
same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client
accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio
construction process.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments
involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to
discuss these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving Capstone or its management persons.
Capstone values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite
due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor and its
Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov
by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 284547.

Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Broker-Dealer Affiliation
As noted in Item 5, Advisory Persons of Capstone are also registered representatives of LPL Financial. In an
Advisory Person’s separate capacity as a registered representative, the Advisory Person will receive
commissions for the implementation of recommendations for commissionable transactions. Clients are not
obligated to implement any recommendation provided by an Advisory Person of Capstone. Neither Capstone nor
an Advisory Person will earn ongoing investment advisory fees in connection with any services implemented in
the Advisory Person’s separate capacity as a registered representative. Under supervision by LPL Financial, LPL
Financial may have access to certain confidential information of the Client, including, but not limited to financial
information, investment objectives, transactions and holdings information. Please see our Privacy Policy, which is
included with this Disclosure Brochure.
Insurance Agency Affiliations
As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are licensed insurance professionals. Implementations of insurance
recommendations are separate and apart from one’s role with the Advisor. As an insurance professional, the
Advisory Person will receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the various insurance
companies whose products are sold. Advisory Persons are not required to offer the products of any particular
insurance company. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset investment advisory fees. This
presents a conflict of interest in recommending certain products of the insurance companies. Clients are under
no obligation to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor or Advisory Persons.
Use of Independent Managers
As noted in Item 4, the Advisor may implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio with one or more
Independent Managers. The Advisor does not receive any compensation nor does this present a material conflict
of interest. The Advisor will only earn its investment advisory fee as described in Item 5.A.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Capstone has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to
each Client. This Code of Ethics applies to all persons associated with Capstone (“Supervised Persons”). The
Code of Ethics was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the
Advisor’s duties to the Client. Capstone and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith
towards each Client. It is the obligation of Capstone associates to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the
Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code of Ethics covers a range of topics that
address employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Advisor’s Code, please contact the
Advisor at (888) 587-7526.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Capstone allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Capstone does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor
does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. Capstone does not have a
material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Capstone allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients
presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and
procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public
information controls) and personal securities reporting procedures. When trading for personal accounts,
Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The fiduciary duty to act in the
best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more advantageous terms than Client
trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is mitigated by Capstone requiring

Page 12
reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review by the Chief Compliance Officer
(“CCO”) or delegate. The Advisor has also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of
material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While Capstone allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded afterward. At no
time will any associated person of Capstone, transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Capstone does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and execution
services. As its Advisory Persons are also registered representatives of LPL Financial, Capstone and its Advisory
Persons are limited in the custodian[s] in which they can recommend to Clients. Typically, Capstone will
recommend that Clients establish their accounts at LPL Financial, where Capstone has access to LPL Financial’s
systems, back office support, research and other benefits.
While Capstone receives economic benefits from LPL Financial, we believe LPL Financial provides quality
execution and related services for the Advisor’s Clients at competitive prices. Price is not the sole factor
Capstone considers in evaluating best execution and the recommendation of a custodian. Capstone also
considers the quality of the brokerage services provided by LPL Financial, including the firm's reputation,
execution capabilities, commission rates, and responsiveness to the Advisor’s Clients and the firm. Clients are
free to use whatever broker-dealer/custodian they choose to implement financial planning recommendations. For
investment advisory services, Capstone would be required to obtain permission to use a broker-dealer or
custodian other than LPL Financial due to the oversight role LPL Financial assumes over the Advisory Persons.
Please see Item 14 below.
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor
enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and
other services. Capstone does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-dealer,
but does receive economic benefits from LPL Financial. Please see Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - Capstone does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with
the recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where Capstone will place
trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts
are traded within their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade
of any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e.,
purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). Capstone will not be obligated to
select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available
transaction costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of
execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. Capstone will execute its transactions through
an unaffiliated broker-dealer selected by the Client.
Capstone may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the
same Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading day. If a block trade cannot be

Phone: (888) 587-7526 * Fax: (570) 587-5822
http://www.Capstone-Wealth.com
Page 13
executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business
day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This
must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage particular Clients’ accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Principals of Capstone. The
CCO also has oversight of investment advisory processes. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least
annually or more frequently depending on the needs of the Client.
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a
result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large
deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify Capstone if changes occur
in the Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional
reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to
the Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may
also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 - Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by Capstone
Capstone does not receive securities commissions from product sponsors, broker-dealers or any un-related third
party, except as noted in Item 10. Capstone may refer Clients to various third parties to provide certain financial
services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients. Likewise, Capstone may receive referrals of new Clients from a
third-party.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
Capstone has established institutional relationship with LPL Financial to assist the Advisor in managing Client
account[s]. The Advisor receives access to software and related support as part of its relationship with LPL
Financial. The software and related systems support may benefit the Advisor, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling
its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be
aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a Custodian creates a conflict of interest since these
benefits may influence the Advisor's recommendation of the Custodian over one that does not furnish similar
software, systems support, or services. Additionally, the Advisor may receive the following benefits from LPL
Financial: financial start-up support; reimbursement to Clients for transfer costs to the platform/custodian; receipt of
duplicate Client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; access to a trading desk that exclusively services
its institutional participants; access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions
and then allocate the appropriate shares to Client accounts; and access to an electronic communication network for
Client order entry and account information.
Benefits Received by Mr. Kupchik Personnel
LPL Financial makes available to Mr. Kupchik various products and services designed to assist Mr. Kupchik in
managing and administering Client accounts. Many of these products and services may be used to service all or a
substantial number of Mr. Kupchik’s accounts, including accounts not held with LPL Financial. These include
software and other technology that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmation and account
statements); facilitate trade execution (and aggregation and allocation of trade orders for multiple client accounts);
Capstone Wealth Management Group, LLC
1202 Meade Street, Dunmore, PA 18512
Phone: (888) 587-7526 * Fax: (570) 587-5822
http://www.Capstone-Wealth.com
Page 14
provide research, pricing information and other market data; facilitate payment of Mr. Kupchik’s fees from its clients’
accounts; and assist with back-office functions; recordkeeping and client reporting.
LPL Financial also makes available to Mr. Kupchik other services intended to help Mr. Kupchik manage and further
develop its business. Some of these services assist Mr. Kupchik to better monitor and service program accounts
maintained at LPL Financial, however, many of these services benefit only Mr. Kupchik, for example, services that
assist Mr. Kupchik in growing its business. These support services and/or products may be provided without cost, at
a discount, and/or at a negotiated rate, and include practice management-related publications; consulting services;
attendance at conferences and seminars, meetings, and other educational and/or social events; marketing support;
and other products and services used by Mr. Kupchik in furtherance of the operation and development of its
investment advisory business.
Where a third-party vendor provides such services, LPL Financial may pay the third-party vendor directly on behalf
of Mr. Kupchik.
The products and services described above are provided to Mr. Kupchik as part of its overall relationship with LPL
Financial. While as a fiduciary, Mr. Kupchik endeavors to act in its clients’ best interests, the receipt of these
benefits creates a conflict of interest because Mr. Kupchik’s [requirement, request or recommendation] that clients
custody their assets at LPL Financial is based in part on the benefit to Mr. Kupchik of the availability of the
foregoing products and services and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody or brokerage services
provided by LPL Financial. Mr. Kupchik’s receipt of some of these benefits may be based on the amount of advisory
assets custodied on the LPL Financial platform.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
Certain Clients may be referred to the Advisor by either an affiliated or unaffiliated party (herein "Promoter") and
receive, directly or indirectly, compensation for the Client referral. In such instances, the Advisor will compensate
the Promoter a fee in accordance with Rule 206(4)-1 of the Advisers Act and any corresponding state securities
requirements. Any such compensation shall be paid solely from the investment advisory fees earned by the
Advisor, and shall not result in any additional charge to the Client.
Item 15 – Custody
Capstone does not accept or maintain custody of Client accounts, except for the limited circumstances outlined
below:
The Advisor is authorized to deduct its fees from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Client must place all
assets with a “qualified custodian”. The Client is required to engage the Custodian to retain all funds and securities
and direct the Advisor to utilize that Custodian for security transactions in the account[s]. The Client should review
statements provided by the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For more information about
custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
If the Client gives the Advisor authority to move money from one account to another account, the Advisor may have
custody of those assets. In order to avoid additional regulatory requirements, the Custodian and the Advisor have
adopted safeguards to ensure that the money movements are completed in accordance with the Client’s
instructions.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Capstone generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client
accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be
subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to
by Capstone. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of such
authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an Investment Advisory Agreement containing all applicable
limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Capstone will be in accordance with each Client's

Phone: (888) 587-7526 * Fax: (570) 587-5822

Page 15
investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Capstone does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements directly
from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client retains
the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Capstone, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the
ability of Capstone to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Capstone, nor any of its Advisory Persons, have
been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Capstone is not required to deliver a balance sheet along
with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect fees of $1,200 or more for services to be performed
six months or more in advance.

Certified Financial Planner ("CFP®")
The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP® and federally registered CFP® marks (collectively, the
“CFP® marks”) are professional certification marks granted in the United States by Certified Financial Planner
Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP Board”).
The CFP® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or regulation requires financial planners
to hold CFP® certification. It is recognized in the United States and a number of other countries for its (1) high
standard of professional education; (2) stringent code of conduct and standards of practice; and (3) ethical
requirements that govern professional engagements with clients. Currently, more than 71,000 individuals have
obtained CFP® certification in the United States.
To attain the right to use the CFP® marks, an individual must satisfactorily fulfill the following requirements:
•
Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study addressing the financial planning
subject areas that CFP® Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the competent and
professional delivery of financial planning services, and attain a Bachelor’s Degree from a regionally
accredited United States college or university (or its equivalent from a foreign university). CFP® Board’s
financial planning subject areas include insurance planning and risk management, employee benefits
planning, investment planning, income tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning;
•
Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination, administered
in 10 hours over a two-day period, includes case studies and client scenarios designed to test one’s
ability to correctly diagnose financial planning issues and apply one’s knowledge of financial planning to
real world circumstances;
• Experience – Complete at least three years of full-time financial planning-related experience (or the
equivalent, measured as 2,000 hours per year); and
•
Ethics – Agree to be bound by CFP® Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct, a set of documents
outlining the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements in
order to maintain the right to continue to use the CFP® marks:
• Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education hours every two years, including two
hours on the Code of Ethics and other parts of the Standards of Professional Conduct, to maintain
competence and keep up with developments in the financial planning field; and

Page 18
• Ethics – Renew an agreement to be bound by the Standards of Professional
Conduct. The Standards prominently require that CFP® professionals provide financial planning services
at a fiduciary standard of care. This means CFP® professionals must provide financial planning services
in the best interests of their clients.
CFP® professionals who fail to comply with the above standards and requirements may be subject
to CFP® Board’s enforcement process, which could result in suspension or permanent revocation of their
CFP® certification.
