Introduction
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors, also known as CapFinancial Partners, LLC, (“CAPTRUST,”
“Adviser,” “we,” or “us”) was established in April 2003 and approved as a registered
investment adviser in September 2003. The CapFinancial Group, LLC (“CFG”, a North
Carolina limited liability company) owns just under 100% of CAPTRUST. Each of CapFinancial
Holdings, Inc. and Halftime Holdings, LLC owns more than 25% of The CapFinancial Group,
LLC. GTCR Fund XII B indirectly owns more than 25% of CAPTRUST through its ownership of
Halftime Holdings, LLC.
CAPTRUST is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940

CAPTRUST Advice Solutions
Some retirement plans offer CAPTRUST Advice Solutions to their plan participants. The plan
sponsor decides whether and how the plan will pay for these services. Participants
choose whether to use them. CAPTRUST Advice Solutions gathers personal information from
the plan sponsor, recordkeeper, and the plan participant, to calculate an appropriate asset
allocation specifically for the plan participant. There are two types of Advice Solutions:
• Blueprint Managed Advice is a discretionary advisory service where CAPTRUST
allocates and sends transaction instructions to the plan recordkeeper to implement the
asset allocation for each enrolled participant.
• Online Advice is a non-discretionary, point-in-time, investment allocation
recommendation for the plan participant’s account. The plan participant decides
whether to implement the investment recommendation.
CAPTRUST At Work
CAPTRUST At Work is a financial wellness program designed to help employees achieve their
financial goals and objectives through education, personalized advice, and ongoing support.
Personalized investment advice is offered in a fiduciary capacity. Plan participants will
exercise final decision-making authority and responsibility for the implementation of any
recommendations made by CAPTRUST. The services may include, but are not limited to:
• Live and on-demand webinars, workshops, and materials,
• Digital content and engagement, and
• One-on-one meetings with plan participants to provide personalized advice and/or
guidance
Adviser may provide other services to plan participants when the services are independently
contracted for or sought by participants. These services include, but are not limited to,
financial planning and investment services and will be performed separately from services to
the plan. These separate agreements are not part of the Agreement with the plan sponsor but
would be defined in a separate agreement with the plan participant individually.
Adviser may use data available under the Agreement with the plan sponsor in providing these
services to participants.
Alternative Investments
CAPTRUST may recommend certain private or alternative investments (such as private
placements, limited partnerships, private equity, or private credit) when appropriate and
when a client is eligible. These investments can involve higher risk, limited liquidity, and
limited transparency. Any recommendation will be made only when determined to be suitable
and must be accompanied by or preceded by a prospectus or offering memorandum.
Generally, this type of advice is rendered to wealth clients, non-qualified plans, or other
institutional clients, not including defined contribution plans.

CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609
www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
In performing its services, CAPTRUST is not required to verify or audit the information
received from the client or from the client’s other professionals and is expressly authorized to
rely on the information provided. If requested by the client, CAPTRUST can recommend the
services of other professionals for implementation purposes, but the client is under no
obligation to engage those services.
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
CAPTRUST requires each client to select services in writing as part of an Agreement, which
sets forth the rights and obligations of CAPTRUST and the client. Advisory fees are
negotiated prior to the signing of the Agreement. The Agreement is then customized to state
the negotiated fee, which is typically expressed as a percentage of total assets under
advisement or can also be a flat fee. As summarized above, a client may engage CAPTRUST
on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis.
In general, fees charged for investment advisory services are payable quarterly, in advance,
and are based upon the market value of the client’s assets on the last business day of the
calendar quarter. Advisory fees are accounted for on a quarterly invoice in detail. Fees may
be billed directly to the client, a third-party administrator (“TPA”), or custodian at the client’s
instruction. Fees for clients engaging CAPTRUST mid-quarter will be prorated and calculated
on a per diem basis.
Some client portfolios include private equity and/or other private investments for which
quarterly values lag for up to 60 days following a quarter-end. In those limited cases,
CAPTRUST uses the latest valuation date available for purposes of computing investment
advisory fees. CAPTRUST relies on the client’s capital account statement (provided by the
issuer or qualified custodian) for the values of such private investments.
The Agreement will continue in effect until terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days
written notice to the other party. However, if the client has not received the CAPTRUST Form
ADV Part 2 at least 48 hours prior to entering into the Agreement, the client may terminate
the Agreement within five business days of entering into the Agreement without penalty. If
any advisory relationship terminates before the last day of a quarter, fees are prorated
accordingly, and the Adviser will refund any unearned fees due to the client.
Flat/Fixed Fee Service: The Adviser may charge a flat or fixed fee for investment advisory
and consultation services. Flat/fixed fees are negotiable but generally range from $10,000 to
$250,000 on an annual basis, depending upon the level and scope of the services required.
Fixed fees are charged quarterly in advance, calculated on a per diem basis, upon the signing
of an Agreement by the client. Fees for clients engaging Adviser mid-quarter will be prorated
on a per diem basis. Occasionally advisory services will be quoted on an hourly or per diem
basis.
Fees in arrears for certain acquired accounts. Some clients who transitioned to CAPTRUST
through an acquisition may pay fees in arrears. The advisory agreement controls the billing
arrangement.
Broker of Record:
A small number of retirement plan clients choose to name a CAPTRUST Financial Advisor as
“broker of record” (BOR) in the advisor’s separate capacity as a registered representative of
CAPTRUST’s affiliated broker-dealer, CapFinancial Securities, LLC (“CFS”). This is typically
done so certain product-related revenue can be used to reduce or offset the plan’s advisory
fee, as described in the plan’s agreement.
7
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609
www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
In cases where a retirement plan sponsor has elected to appoint a CAPTRUST advisor as
BOR, CFS may be compensated by general promotion, advertising, and distribution fees
(“12b-1 fees”) in relation to purchases and sales of mutual fund shares in the retirement plan
that is the subject of the Agreement. However, in accordance with the Agreement, these 12b-1
fees will be considered when calculating that plan’s advisory fee for service for a particular
period and the typical fee reduced (or offset) by the 12b-1 fees received by CFS. CAPTRUST
tracks all 12b-1 or product revenue (by client) that is received by CFS and offsets (reduces)
advisory fees upon a quarterly invoice basis in accordance with the Agreement.
Fees charged may be higher than otherwise available elsewhere. A portion of the fees
charged by CAPTRUST for advisory services will be paid to investment advisory
representatives employed by CAPTRUST. All fees described herein may be subject to
negotiation depending on a range of factors including, but not limited to, plan size and overall
range of services requested.
CAPTRUST’s fees do not include other related costs and expenses that are incurred by the
client. For example, clients may incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, and
other third parties such as fees charged by managers, record-keeping/custodial fees, sales
charges, redemption fees, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and/or taxes.
Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are
disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. These charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in
addition to CAPTRUST’s fee and CAPTRUST does not receive any portion of these other fees
or costs.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
In general, CAPTRUST does not charge performance-based fees (fees based on a share of
capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client). Please see Item 10 – “Other
Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations – Material Conflicts Regarding Private Funds” for
a detailed explanation of conflicts relating to performance fees in connection with certain
affiliated private funds, in particular:
1. The One Brick Select Private Credit Fund, LP and One Brick Select Private Credit
Qualified Fund I, LP (collectively, “One Brick Funds”), invest in T. Rowe Price OHA
Select Private Credit Fund (“OCredit”) and thereby receive a share of incentive fees
earned by OCredit. CAPTRUST does not charge performance fees to the One Brick
Funds but indirectly participates in fees earned by OCredit.
2.
In connection to CAPTRUST’s role as investment manager to the Cobblestone
affiliated private funds, CAPTRUST earns certain performance-based fees. For detailed
description of these private funds, see CAPTRUST’s Form ADV Part 1A, Section 7.B.
Private Fund Reporting, subsection (1).
CAPTRUST addresses these conflicts through prequalification, disclosure, monitoring, and
review of client portfolios to confirm the investments are recommended only to qualified
clients and take into consideration the clients’ risk tolerance and goals.
Item 7: Types of Clients
CAPTRUST provides continuous and ongoing investment advisory services to:
•
institutional clients including, but not limited to, 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans, pensions
and profit-sharing plans, non-qualified plans, foundations, endowments, corporations.

CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609
www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
• wealth clients, including but not limited to, individuals, high net worth individuals,
trusts, estates, charitable organizations, foundations, endowments, and corporate
entities; (disclosed separately in CAPTRUST’s Wealth Brochure, please see
https://www.captrust.com/important-disclosures/).
Adviser does not require a minimum account size but may impose a minimum annual
consulting fee. Adviser retains the right to waive any minimums.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Investment recommendations are based on an analysis of the client’s specific needs and are
drawn from research and analysis. Each client’s needs are analyzed separately. For example,
when analyzing a retirement plan, CAPTRUST pays particular attention to the limitations on
the investment lineup as determined by the retirement plan documents, current service
providers/platform and whether a plan’s current platform has an opened or closed
architecture. In general, investment analysis methods may include fundamental analysis, as
well as quantitative and qualitative research on a given investment vehicle. Information for
this analysis may be drawn from financial newspapers, magazines, databases, research
materials prepared by others, annual reports, corporate filings and prospectuses.
It is important to note that investing in securities involves certain risks that are borne by the
investor. For any risks associated with investment company products, please refer to the
prospectuses for additional details about these risks. CAPTRUST’s investment approach
constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. In general, risks associated with investing include,
but are not limited to:
•
Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to
fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less
attractive, causing their market values to decline.
• Market Risk: The price of a security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in reaction to
tangible and intangible events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by external
factors independent of a security’s particular underlying circumstances. For example,
political, economic, and social conditions may trigger market events.
•
Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will not buy as much
as a dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
• Reinvestment Risk: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have to
be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e., interest rate). This primarily
relates to fixed income securities.
• Business Risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a particular
company within an industry. For example, oil-drilling companies depend on finding oil
and then refining it, a lengthy process, before they can generate a profit. They carry a
higher risk of profitability than an electric company, which generates its income from a
steady stream of customers who buy electricity no matter what the economic
environment is like.
• Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash.
Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized
product. For example, treasury bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties are not.
Some investments that might be utilized in select strategies, such as interval funds,
employed by CAPTRUST carry liquidity risk. In some circumstances, clients have had to
9
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609
www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
wait several quarters or longer when requesting liquidity from the manager of interval
funds in a CAPTRUST managed account.
• Financial Risk: Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations increases the risk
of profitability, because the company must meet the terms of its obligations in good
times and bad. During periods of financial stress, the inability to meet loan obligations
may result in bankruptcy and/or a declining market value.
• Concentration Risk: The probability of loss due to heavy exposure to a single
investment, equity or issuer. Some investments utilized in recommended strategies
carry a kind of concentration risk since clients may own more than one fund managed
by the same issuer; or clients may be invested in several funds with similar strategies
which poses a type of concentration risk.
• Other Risk: CAPTRUST’s recommended strategies include the risks listed above as well
as other risks that are more specifically associated with managers, strategies, funds, or
instruments CAPTRUST selects or recommends. For example, some recommended
managers use derivatives (such as options as a hedge) which pose special risks; others
carry liquidity risk specific to underlying investments; additionally, some risk-based
asset allocated models have a particular concentration risk because CAPTRUST may
recommend a single manager, or a fund complex for a large portion model. Some
recommended strategies include alternative investment strategies, or allocations to
funds with limited or no prior history of operations. Each recommended manager
discloses risks associated with investing in their funds separately (in their respective
brochures and/or prospectuses).
o Although CAPTRUST acknowledges that clients are relying on CAPTRUST to
manage portfolio risk, clients are encouraged to read managers’ disclosure
brochures, prospectuses and ask questions of FA, investment committee members
or compliance team members. Please contact us at 919.870.6822 or send a
message to compliance@captrust.com.
• Private investment funds: Clients who are qualified to invest in private funds must
acknowledge and accept the specific risk factors that are associated with investing in
private funds. Private fund investments involve various risk factors, including, but not
limited to, potential for complete loss of principal, illiquidity, and lack of transparency.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal
or disciplinary events that would be material to a client or prospective client’s evaluation of
CAPTRUST or the integrity of CAPTRUST’s management. Neither CAPTRUST management
nor members of CAPTRUST’s investment committee have any reportable disciplinary history
for this Item. Each FA who acts as a portfolio manager has a separate Form ADV Part 2B.
Clients should refer to their FA’s Form ADV Part 2B for personal disciplinary information for
that FA.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
CAPTRUST is affiliated by common ownership with CapFinancial Securities, LLC (“CFS”), a
FINRA broker-dealer (Member SIPC). CAPTRUST does not manage any proprietary mutual
funds.
10
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609
www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
CFS, as an affiliated registered broker-dealer, provides individuals and institutions with
general securities investment services. Many investment adviser representatives with Adviser
are simultaneously registered as CFS registered representatives. A CAPTRUST FA who
focuses primarily on wealth advisory services generally spends less than 10% of their time on
work done for Wealth clients focused on activities consistent with the definition of broker-
dealer activities. A CAPTRUST FA whose focus is Institutional clients will generally spend less
than 1% of their time on broker-dealer activities.
CAPTRUST divisions called “1776 Advisor Group,” “Strategic Advisor Group,” and “Family
Office Risk Advisors,” together with several CAPTRUST FAs, are life insurance licensed in
order to act as agent of record for those clients who own life insurance products or for
retirement plans funded with group variable products. Financial Advisors may occasionally
recommend fixed or variable annuities or life insurance (including Private Placement Life
Insurance (“PPLI”)) to their Wealth clients when assisting them in executing their financial
plan. CFS and CAPTRUST have business entity insurance licenses. Strategic Advisor Group’s
primary source of revenue is life insurance commissions not involving CAPTRUST qualified
retirement plan clients.
As a result of certain investment-related recommendations provided to its clients, CFS may
facilitate certain securities purchases and sales, or insurance product purchases and sales on
behalf of CAPTRUST clients. Such transactions may be facilitated by CFS, in its capacity as a
registered broker-dealer or insurance agent/agency (business entity). Commissions charged
by CFS may be higher or lower than obtainable elsewhere. All related compensation is
separate from advisory services. In general, product revenue associated with plan client
assets is captured to reduce the plan advisory fee pursuant to the terms of the Retirement
Plan Advisory Services Agreement.
In 2025, CFG acquired the assets of Carolinas Wealth Consulting, LLC (CRD: 300003) and
their affiliated broker-dealer, Carolinas Investment Consulting LLC (Charlotte, NC),
Cobblestone Capital Advisors, LLC (CRD: 108023) (Rochester, NY), and Meritage Portfolio
Management, Inc. (CRD: 107177) (Overland Park, KS).
Material Conflicts Regarding Private Funds
CAPTRUST provides investment recommendations and advice regarding both affiliated and
non-affiliated private investment funds. CAPTRUST provides the fund’s offering materials at
or prior to recommending the investment. Clients should refer to the fund’s confidential
offering memorandum for applicable disclosures regarding management of the fund, its
investment objective, risk factors, tax, and related factors. CAPTRUST’s activities as general
partner and investment advisor to private funds are disclosed in CAPTRUST’s Form ADV Part
1A, Section 7.B. Private Fund Reporting, subsections (1) and (2), respectively.
One Brick. CAPTRUST serves as investment advisor to One Brick Select Private Equity 2024,
L.P. CAPTRUST also serves as investment advisor to One Brick Select Private Credit Fund, LP
and One Brick Select Private Credit Qualified Fund I, LP (the “One Brick Funds”). The One
Brick Funds invest in T. Rowe Price OHA Select Private Credit Fund (“OCredit”). OHA Private
Credit Advisors LLC (“OHA Advisor”) is the investment adviser to OCredit. OCredit pays OHA
Advisor an incentive fee for serving as its investment manager. As more people invest in
OCredit, OHA Advisor will earn more fees. One Brick Funds will also share in those incentive
fees, which creates an incentive for CAPTRUST to recommend OCredit in order to increase
the potential profits eligible to be shared with investors in the One Brick Funds which include
CAPTRUST clients and employees. (Please see Item 6.). One Brick Funds pay 10bps/year in
advisory fees to CAPTRUST.

Homecourt. CAPTRUST is the owner of CAPTRUST 2022 Homecourt Fund GP, LLC, a
Delaware single member limited liability company, for which the sole purpose was the
organization of a private fund called CAPTRUST 2022 Homecourt Fund, L.P. (“Homecourt”).
Homecourt was formed as an “Access Fund” into Dyal HomeCourt US Investors LP (“Dyal”),
and independent third party private limited partnership. CAPTRUST acts as the investment
adviser to Homecourt. The interests were offered pursuant to an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Item 11: Code of Ethics
CAPTRUST’s Code of Ethics addresses, among other things: (i) CAPTRUST’s fiduciary
obligations to its clients, (ii) personal securities trading procedures restricting the purchase
and sale of specific securities by employees for their own accounts; (iii) provisions relating to
the confidentiality of client information; (iv) prohibitions on insider trading; (v) limits on
political contributions and activities; and (vi) restrictions on the acceptance and giving of
significant gifts and the reporting of certain gifts and business entertainment.
Personal securities transactions by CAPTRUST directors, officers, and employees who (i)
have access to nonpublic information regarding clients’ purchase and sale of securities ; (ii)
are involved in making securities recommendations to clients or (iii) who have access to such
non-public recommendations (“access persons”) are subject to the restrictions and
procedures set forth in CAPTRUST’s Code of Ethics. All employees at CAPTRUST must
acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or as amended.
Occasionally, Adviser’s employees may recommend that clients buy or sell the same
securities or investment products that Adviser’s employees also own. CAPTRUST’s employees
and persons associated with CAPTRUST are required to follow the Code of Ethics. The Code
of Ethics is intended to identify and address potential conflicts of interest that might arise in
the context of personal securities transactions, activities, and interests of CAPTRUST
employees that might interfere or appear to interfere with making decisions in the best
interest of advisory clients.

www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
Under the Code of Ethics, certain classes of securities have been designated as exempt
transactions, based upon a determination that they would not materially interfere with the
best interest of CAPTRUST’s clients. In addition, the Code of Ethics requires pre-approval of
specific types of transactions, and, depending on the transaction, may restrict trading in close
proximity to client trading activity. Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some
circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same securities as Clients, there is a
possibility that employees might benefit from market activity by a client. Employee trading is
monitored under the Code of Ethics to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between
CAPTRUST and its clients.
CAPTRUST employees whose accounts are managed by CAPTRUST are included in block
trading where CAPTRUST places trades for execution that include accounts of two or more
clients and when CAPTRUST believes trade aggregation is appropriate and in the best
interest of its clients. (See “Block Trades” under “Brokerage Practices” disclosed in the
CAPTRUST Wealth Brochure which can be found here: https://www.captrust.com/important-
disclosures/).
CAPTRUST’s clients may request a copy of the Code of Ethics by contacting the Compliance
Department at 919.870.6822 or 800.216.0645 or by email at compliance@captrust.com.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
CAPTRUST is required to describe the factors considered in selecting or recommending
broker-dealers for client transactions and determining the reasonableness of their
compensation (e.g., commissions). When CAPTRUST is engaged with a client through a non-
discretionary Agreement, client assets are held at various third-party custodians that have
not been recommended by CAPTRUST and for which CAPTRUST has no interest or conflict to
disclose. Please see Item 5: Fees and Compensation – Broker of Record for information about
how CAPTRUST mitigates the potential conflict arising when clients choose to name their FA
as BOR in their capacity as registered representative of CFS.
Brokerage Practices affecting Wealth clients (including nonretirement plan clients such as
foundations endowments, and other institutional clients) and Institutional clients who have
granted CAPTRUST discretionary authority are separately disclosed in the CAPTRUST Wealth
Brochure and Appendix 1, please see CAPTRUST Wealth Brochure which can be found here:
https://www.captrust.com/important-disclosures/).
Some clients may use Bank of New York or an affiliate as a platform/custodian for their plan
assets. Therefore, it is material to disclose that as a broker-dealer, CFS has an existing
relationship with Pershing, LLC (“Pershing”), an affiliate of Bank of NY, in the form of a
clearing agreement.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
A client’s financial advisor is responsible for performing periodic reviews of the client’s
accounts, consulting with their clients, and staying abreast of changes to their clients’ goals
and objectives. CAPTRUST’s Investment Group conducts ongoing reviews of markets,
sectors, and individual securities. Unaffiliated mutual fund holdings and outside Investment
Managers are monitored on a continuous and regular basis by the CAPTRUST Investment
Group. Michael Vogelzang, Chief Investment Officer, leads the Investment Group. ADV Part
2B (attached to this brochure) lists the members of the Investment Group who are also
members of the Investment Committee or who are involved in the review process and in
determining the investment advice to be given by the Adviser. In addition to monthly

CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609
www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
statements provided by the custodian of the client’s assets, CAPTRUST prepares quarterly
performance reports for Wealth client accounts. Clients may access their quarterly
performance reports electronically via CAPTRUST’s client portal. Clients should contact their
Financial Advisor, or contact CAPTRUST at the contact details in Item 1, for questions about
how to access their reports. CAPTRUST receives a daily download of transaction information
from Pershing, Schwab, and Fidelity and has access to Wealth client accounts through their
institutional advisor platforms. Clients agree to inform CAPTRUST in writing of any material
changes to the client’s investment goals and objectives or financial situation that might affect
the manner with which client’s assets should be invested. Additionally, clients who wish to
impose reasonable restrictions on the management of their accounts may do so by
contacting their Financial Advisor or CAPTRUST at the contact details in Item 1.
Clients with portfolios that include private equity and/or other private investments (“private
funds”) should be advised that quarterly values lag for up to 60 days following a quarter-end.
Because CAPTRUST relies on the client’s capital account statement (provided by the issuer or
qualified custodian) for private fund values used for purposes of quarterly portfolio review
and reporting, quarterly review reports will reflect the latest valuation date available.
Consequently, a client’s actual private fund holdings could be significantly more or less than
the value reflected on their portfolio report. Unless otherwise indicated, the client’s advisory
fee will be based upon the value reflected in CAPTRUST’s client portal. Clients may contact
CAPTRUST during normal business hours to consult with CAPTRUST concerning the
management of the client’s accounts.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Clients (or prospective clients) who are being referred to CAPTRUST, either by means of a
paid “endorsement” by a third-party or in connection with a paid “testimonial” by a current
client, must be made aware of the arrangement at the time the testimonial or endorsement is
disseminated in a clear and prominent manner. The disclosure of the arrangement must
explain whether the testimonial was given by a current client or investor; or if the
“endorsement” was given by a person other than a current client or investor; explain whether
cash or non-cash compensation was provided for the testimonial or endorsement; and if
applicable, include brief statement of any material conflicts of interest on the part of the
person giving the testimonial or endorsement resulting from the investment adviser's
relationship with such person. In cases where a referral takes place in person, these required
disclosures will be delivered in writing at the time the testimonial or endorsement is being
made.
CAPTRUST, has entered into referral agreements with various third-party solicitors
(“Solicitors”) for client referrals. In order for a Solicitor to be compensated by CAPTRUST for
referring a client to CAPTRUST, the solicitor must be engaged by CAPTRUST under a
Solicitor or Referral Agreement (a “Referral Agreement”) in compliance with Section 206(4)-1
of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. In general, a Solicitor is compensated by a
percentage of the advisory fee collected for a specified period of time (as detailed in the
Referral Agreement).
CAPTRUST’s fee is reduced by the amount of the compensation to the solicitor – clients pay
no additional fee for the referral over and above CAPTRUST’s quoted advisory fee
Each Referral Agreement requires the Solicitor to deliver the required disclosures either in
writing or electronically at the time of the testimonial or endorsement is made. Clients may
request details regarding a particular Referral Agreement by contacting CAPTRUST at the
contact details in Item 1.

Item 15: Custody
Clients should receive statements at least quarterly from the qualified custodian that holds
and maintains the client’s investment assets. CAPTRUST urges clients to carefully review such
statements and compare the custodial statements to any reports provided by CAPTRUST.
CAPTRUST reports may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures,
reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities. CAPTRUST does not act as
a qualified custodian for client assets.
CAPTRUST discloses in Item 9 of Form ADV Part 1 that it has custody of clients’ funds or
assets for certain reasons (e.g., where a Wealth client has granted their CAPTRUST Financial
Advisor the ability to access the client’s assets, e.g., to debit advisory fees automatically from
the client’s CAPTRUST or carry out other services). CAPTRUST is subject to an annual
surprise custody examination by an independent certified public accounting firm.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
For certain CAPTRUST clients, Adviser has the authority to determine, without obtaining
specific client consent, both the securities to be bought and sold in their accounts as well as
the amount of the securities to be bought or sold. The discretionary Agreement covering an
ERISA qualified retirement plan gives CAPTRUST the authority to take discretion over the
investment selection in that retirement plan. This service elevates CAPTRUST’s fiduciary role
to that of an ERISA 3(38) “investment manager” (i.e., when the client’s retirement plan is
subject to ERISA).
CAPTRUST acts as a subadvisor with respect to Managed Account Portfolios (“MAPs”) that
are collective investment trusts (“CITs”) for which Wilmington Trust (now “Great Gray Trust”)
acts as investment manager. Some clients may grant CAPTRUST ERISA 3(38) discretion over
the investment line-up available inside their retirement plan which may also include the MAPs
as available investment options for plan participants to select. However, clients engaging
CAPTRUST for non-discretionary ERISA 3(21) advisory services may utilize MAPS as well.
Adviser may have the authority to negotiate fees on behalf of the client with other service
providers. Specifically, in its efforts to perform requests for proposals (“RFPs”) on behalf of
clients, Adviser assists the client in determining the most suitable fee for services structure
that can be obtained within the constraints of the retirement plan documents. However,
CAPTRUST does not have any control over the fees or commissions charged by custodians or
investment companies for the products or services they provide. Consequently, the client
may pay fees or commissions higher than obtainable elsewhere for similar products or
services.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
In general, CAPTRUST clients delegate the authority to vote their proxies to CAPTRUST in
their agreement. It is CAPTRUST’s aim to see that proxies are voted in the best interest of its
clients. As such, CAPTRUST has engaged Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”), to
vote proxies on behalf of clients who delegate proxy voting authority to CAPTRUST. ISS is an
independent proxy voting service provider, which performs extensive research, and has
designed and maintains a number of proxy voting guidelines. While clients are always free to
vote their own proxies, for those that delegate that responsibility to CAPTRUST, CAPTRUST
generally leverages ISS Benchmark Proxy Voting Guidelines (“Guidelines”). The Guidelines are
based on widely accepted good governance practices and principles, are designed to be
responsive to the wide range of issues that can be raised in proxy situations, and to increase
total shareholder value and risk mitigation. Additionally, clients may revoke their delegation

www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
of proxy voting authority at any time, with written notice to CAPTRUST. The Proxy Voting
Policy contains additional guidelines and methods by which conflicts of interests are
addressed. Such conflicts may include situations where CAPTRUST has or is seeking a client
relationship with the issuer of the security that is the subject of the proxy vote. Generally,
because the Guidelines pre-establish voting positions, application of these Guidelines should
adequately address any possible conflicts of interest.
Where CAPTRUST has recommended an independent third-party account manager, clients
delegate proxy voting authority to that manager. That manager’s proxy voting policies will be
detailed in their Form ADV Part 2 brochure.
To obtain a copy of CAPTRUST’s Proxy Voting Policy or for a copy of CAPTRUST’s Proxy
Voting record, clients can contact CAPTRUST at the contact details in Item 1. Alternatively,
clients may email proxyvoting@captrust.com or write to CAPTRUST “Investment

information or disclosures about the investment adviser’s financial condition. CAPTRUST has
no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary
commitments to clients and has not been the subject of any bankruptcy proceedings.

Item 4: Advisory Business
Introduction
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors, also known as CapFinancial Partners, LLC (“CAPTRUST,”
“Adviser,” “we,” or “us”), was established in April 2003 and approved as a registered
investment adviser in September 2003. The CapFinancial Group, LLC (“CFG”, a North
Carolina limited liability company) owns just under 100% of CAPTRUST. Each of CapFinancial
Holdings, Inc. and Halftime Holdings, LLC owns more than 25% of The CapFinancial Group,
LLC. GTCR Fund XII B indirectly owns more than 25% of CAPTRUST through its ownership of
Halftime Holdings, LLC.
CAPTRUST provides continuous and regular investment advisory services to:
• wealth management clients including, but not limited to, individuals, trusts, estates,
charitable organizations, foundations, endowments, and corporations (each, a “client”
or “Wealth client”); and
•
institutional clients including, but not limited to, retirement plan sponsors, 401(k)
plans, 403(b) plans, pensions, profit-sharing plans, non-qualified plans; endowments
and foundations; religious organization; and other asset pools (each, an “Institutional
client”) (disclosed separately in the CAPTRUST Institutional Brochure, see
https://www.captrust.com/important-disclosures/).
As of December 31, 2025, CAPTRUST managed a total of $1,236,704,900,000 in total assets
under management, comprised of $916,529,000,000 in non-discretionary assets under
advisement (primarily Institutional client assets) and $320,175,900,000 in discretionary assets
under management (Institutional and Wealth client assets). Clients select their services in a
written investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”), that outlines the responsibilities
of both CAPTRUST and the client. Fees are negotiated individually based on the selected
services.

Investment Supervisory Services
Adviser provides investment supervisory services on a discretionary and non-discretionary
basis including but not limited to the following:
• Adviser designs, revises, and reallocates a client’s custom portfolios. Investments are
determined based upon the client’s investment objectives, risk tolerance, net worth, net
income, age, time horizon, tax situation, and other suitability factors.
• Adviser manages the client’s custom accounts on an individualized basis. Restrictions
and guidelines imposed by clients may affect the composition and performance of
custom portfolios (as a result, performance of custom portfolios within the same
investment objective may differ and clients should not expect that the performance of
their custom portfolios will be identical to any other individual’s portfolio performance).
• Adviser uses the services of subadvisers and established third party research services to
assist Adviser with formulating asset allocation, industry and sector selection, and
individual security investment recommendations in constructing and maintaining
custom portfolios.
Adviser’s clients enter into a fee-based agreement for investment supervisory services.
Advisory fees stated in CAPTRUST’s fee-based agreements may or may not include the cost
of transactions/trade executions, depending upon the type of account the client chooses and
whether the fee is negotiated on “wrap fee” or “non-wrap fee” basis. Advisory fees may be
higher or lower than obtainable elsewhere.
Wrap Fee Accounts
CAPTRUST sponsors wrap fee program services (see “CAPTRUST Wrap Fee Programs
Brochure” at Appendix 1 to this brochure for a complete description of the wrap fee programs
offered through CAPTRUST; see www.captrust.com/important-disclosures). Wrap fee
5
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609
www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
programs are designed to help clients identify their investment needs and obtain professional
asset management for a convenient single "wrap" fee that includes both the cost of
transactions/executions and investment advisory fees. Wrap fee programs may be offered
through portfolio management account services, in which CAPTRUST provides portfolio
management on a “wrap” fee basis, or separately managed account services, in which
CAPTRUST recommends a third-party manager and the client makes the final selection. An
investor should consider all the information within the CAPTRUST Wrap Fee Programs
Brochure before participating in a wrap fee program.
CAPTRUST also participates in wrap fee programs sponsored by the Schwab Advisor
Services division of Charles Schwab & Co. Inc. (“Schwab”), i.e., Schwab’s Managed Account
Select and Managed Account Access.
Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs)
CAPTRUST performs due diligence on various independent investment managers. Based on
the client's individual circumstances, CAPTRUST determines which SMA manager's portfolio
management style is appropriate for that client. Factors considered in making this
determination include account size, risk tolerance, the objectives of each client, and the
investment philosophy of the selected manager. Clients should review the SMA manager’s
disclosure materials for detailed information about services. CAPTRUST will provide copies of
these disclosures for any recommended SMA manager. CAPTRUST may recommend one or
more SMA manager(s) to manage a client's assets on a discretionary basis. CAPTRUST
monitors the performance of the SMA managers on an ongoing basis.
Some clients with their accounts at Schwab have accessed SMA managers through Schwab’s
Managed Account Marketplace (which is not a wrap-fee program). These Schwab programs
allow access to independent SMA investment management firms offered by Schwab.
With the exception of CAPTRUST’s sponsored Wrap Fee Programs, CAPTRUST’s fee is
independent of the fee charged by SMA managers for the management of separate accounts.
Fees associated with SMA managers vary and are separately disclosed in each manager’s
disclosure brochure and, depending on the SMA program chosen by the client, may or may
not include the cost of execution. CAPTRUST will make its recommendations in the best
interest of the client, taking into account the client’s preferences.
Schwab SMA Programs
Schwab’s Managed Account Select and Managed Account Access fees are bundled as a
single, all-inclusive wrap fee, which is in addition to the fee charged by CAPTRUST. For clients
who have chosen one of these programs, CAPTRUST will deliver Schwab’s brochure, which
explains how Schwab calculates their SMA program fees. Generally, Schwab multiplies the
actual daily balance of the client’s account by the daily pro rata portion of the annual rate and
then adds together the fees for each day of the month. The program fee is billed to the
client’s account monthly, which may result in clients paying a higher fee on an annual basis
than the annual rate due to the effects of compounding.
Managed accounts established under the Schwab’s Managed Account Marketplace (non-wrap
fee accounts) are charged separately by Schwab for brokerage and custody services and by
the SMA manager under the SMA manager’s advisory agreement.
In general, access to managers in Schwab’s programs is available at the following account
levels: $100,000 for Stock/Equity Managers and $250,000 for Bond/Fixed Income Managers.
Although some money managers may have higher account minimums. Schwab’s program
fees include the institutional money manager fee, Schwab’s program fee and fees for
6
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609
www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
brokerage/clearing/custodial services. Fees may include a minimum monthly fee. Please see
related program documents for a complete description of specific fees. Depending on the
service utilized, program fees for the SMA services may be up to 3.00%, depending on the
services provided.
Subadvisory Agreements
CAPTRUST occasionally establishes a subadvisory agreement with an SMA manager that may
or may not participate in one or more of the programs described in this section. Under this
type of arrangement, CAPTRUST’s fee can be quoted to include or exclude the subadvisor’s
fee. In this way, clients can decide whether to permit the subadvisor to charge their fee
directly to the client’s account or to have CAPTRUST combine their fee to include the
subadvisor’s fee. Either way, the advisory agreement governing the relationship describes the
method by which advisory fees will be charged and paid and whether the quoted fee includes
both CAPTRUST’s fee and subadvisory fees.
Other Investment Advisor Services
CAPTRUST provides investment advisory services that do not involve investment supervisory
services on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis.
Consultations. To the extent it is requested to do so, Adviser provides clients with investment
advisory and consultation services on a “fee for service” basis. In order to determine a
suitable course of action for an individual client, Adviser performs a review of the variables
that are presented. Such review may include, but would not necessarily be limited to,
investment objectives, consideration of the client’s overall financial condition, income and tax
status, personal and business assets, risk profile, and other factors unique to the client’s
particular circumstances. Adviser obtains pertinent information from the client to assist
Adviser in determining the most appropriate course of action for its client’s financial and
investment activity.
Alternative Investments. Adviser offers advice on private placements and/or limited
partnerships that are considered “alternative investments.” Adviser also offers advice on
private equity funds that contain investments in equities, futures, options, and other
securities. Any such recommendation will be made only when determined to be suitable and
must be accompanied by or preceded by a prospectus or offering memorandum. See Item 10
below for a detailed description of material conflicts regarding private funds.
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Advisory Fees
CAPTRUST advisory fees are typically charged quarterly in advance based on the market
value of the client’s account on the last business day of the previous calendar quarter. Clients
who have assigned their advisory agreements to CAPTRUST in connection with an acquisition
may pay their advisory fees in arrears. In either case, the terms of the advisory agreement
determine the fee arrangements. Additions to and withdrawals from an account during a
quarter will be reflected in a fee adjustment in the following quarter’s client statement. Fees
generally are deducted from the client’s account or may be billed directly to the client or to a
third-party custodian at the client’s instruction.
Some client portfolios include private equity and/or other private investments for which
quarterly values lag for up to 60 days following a quarter-end. In those limited cases,
CAPTRUST uses the latest valuation date available for purposes of computing investment
7
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609
www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
advisory fees. CAPTRUST relies on the client’s capital account statement (provided by the
issuer or qualified custodian) for the values of such private investments.
The advisory agreement continues in effect until terminated by either party upon thirty days’
written notice to the other party. However, if the client has not received this brochure at least
48 hours prior to entering into the advisory agreement, the client may terminate the advisory
agreement within five business days of entering into the advisory agreement without penalty.
If any advisory relationship terminates before the last day of a quarter, fees are prorated
accordingly, and the Adviser will refund any unearned fees due to the client.
Advisory fees, minimum account sizes, and services are negotiable and detailed in the
advisory agreement. Advisory fees generally will be calculated as a percentage of total
assets under management. Adviser’s standard fee schedule, effective January 1, 2026, is as
follows:
Annual Advisory Fees
Assets Under $10 Million at Initial Funding
First $1M at 1.25%
Next $1M at 1.00%
Next $3M at 0.85%
Assets over $5M at .70%
Assets above $10M are negotiable
Advisory fees are subject to negotiation and may be higher, lower, or waived based on
factors including but not limited to account size, investment approach, complexity of the
client’s financial circumstances, and the nature or duration of the client relationship. Because
fees vary, clients with existing accounts may be charged fees higher or lower than the above
fee schedule or the fees paid by other clients. The specific advisory fee is set forth in the
client’s executed advisory agreement. Clients who have assigned their advisory agreements
to CAPTRUST in connection with an acquisition may remain subject to legacy advisory
agreements or fee arrangements that differ from the above fee schedule. These
arrangements are maintained for continuity purposes and may be transitioned over time. In all
cases, fees are negotiated, disclosed, and governed by the applicable advisory agreement.
CAPTRUST may give advice to one client that may be different from the advice given to
another client. Clients should consider the value of the additional consulting services when
making such comparisons. Certain combinations of custodial, consulting, and brokerage
services may not be available separately or may require multiple accounts, documentation,
and fees.
For clients who do not elect a “wrap-fee” account, CAPTRUST’s fees do not include
brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses incurred by
the Client. Clients who elect to use CAPTRUST wrap program should refer to the CAPTRUST
Wrap Fee Programs Brochure for a description of fees.
Clients may incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, third party investment
advisors, and other third parties, such as fees charged by managers, custodial fees, deferred
sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and
other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Mutual funds and
exchange-traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s
prospectus. These charges and fees are exclusive of and in addition to CAPTRUST’s fee.
CAPTRUST is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with any custodial
broker-dealer. Clients choose the brokerage platform to hold their investment accounts.
CAPTRUST has prime broker and/or brokerage custody agreements to provide execution,
8
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609
www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
brokerage and custodial account services to CAPTRUST clients with Schwab, Pershing, and
Fidelity Investments through Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC/National Financial, LLC
(“Fidelity”). In general, clients use Schwab, Pershing, or Fidelity for execution and custodial
services (each such provider, a “custodian”). Custodians are FINRA registered broker-
dealers.
Some clients choose to use custodians other than Pershing, Fidelity, or Schwab. In those
cases, CAPTRUST works with the client’s chosen custodian to manage the client’s
investments. Custodial and execution fees charged by custodians vary so that clients may
pay more or less for similar services than clients who choose a different custodian.
Adviser may recommend clients invest in funds-of-funds. Funds-of-funds typically carry
additional fees over and above the fees discussed in this section. Because hedge fund
managers typically charge performance fees (over and above their management fee) and
because funds-of-funds are comprised of allocations to many hedge fund managers, each
manager charges its own management fee and many also charge performance fees which
creates a layering effect. Consequently, clients should be aware of these additional costs
associated with investing in funds-of-funds. Each fund-of-fund discloses its own fee structure
in the prospectus for that fund. In general, CAPTRUST does not receive any portion of these
charges, fees and costs, however, please refer to Item 6 below for more information on the
limited cases when CAPTRUST participates in performance fees.
12b-1 and Other Miscellaneous Fees
Generally, CAPTRUST purchases institutional class or no-load mutual funds in investment
portfolios which do not generate sales charges. Load and no-load mutual funds may pay
annual distribution charges, sometimes referred to as 12b-1 fees. These 12b-1 fees come from
fund assets, and therefore indirectly from client assets. Client’s custodian may be
compensated by 12b-1 fees for general promotion, advertising, and distribution in relation to
client purchases and sales of mutual fund shares in a managed account. CAPTRUST does not
participate in 12b-1 fees.
Other costs that may be assessed that are not part of those outlined above include fees for
portfolio transactions executed away from the custodian selected by the client, dealer mark-
ups, electronic fund and wire transfers, spreads paid to market-makers, and exchange fees.
Custodian may charge client certain additional and/or minimum fees.
Fixed Fee Service. Some clients engage CAPTRUST to provide investment advisory,
consultation or other ancillary services for a fixed or flat fee. Fixed fees are negotiable, but
generally range from $10,000 to $250,000 on an annual basis, depending upon the level and
scope of the services required. Adviser’s fixed rate is determined based on anticipated work
to be done. Generally, fixed fees will be charged quarterly in advance calculated on a per
diem basis upon the signing of an agreement by the client. Fees for clients engaging Adviser
mid-quarter will be prorated on a per diem basis.
Hourly Fee Service. When performing family office and/or other ancillary services, including
tax consulting and planning, accounting/tax preparation, and bill pay, CAPTRUST charges
hourly fees that can vary depending upon the type and complexity of the ancillary services to
be provided. These services and fees will be negotiated and agreed upon with the client, prior
to performing the services.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
In general, CAPTRUST does not charge performance-based fees (fees based on a share of
capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client). Please see Item 10 – “Other

CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609

Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations – Material Conflicts Regarding Private Funds” for
a detailed explanation of conflicts relating to performance fees in connection with certain
affiliated private funds, in particular:
1. The One Brick Select Private Credit Fund, LP and One Brick Select Private Credit
Qualified Fund I, LP (collectively, “One Brick Funds”), invest in T. Rowe Price OHA
Select Private Credit Fund (“OCredit”) and thereby receive a share of incentive fees
earned by OCredit. CAPTRUST does not charge performance fees to the One Brick
Funds but indirectly participates in fees earned by OCredit.
2.
In connection to CAPTRUST’s role as investment manager to the Cobblestone
affiliated private funds, CAPTRUST earns certain performance-based fees. For detailed
description of these private funds, see CAPTRUST’s Form ADV Part 1A, Section 7.B.
Private Fund Reporting, subsection (1).
CAPTRUST addresses these conflicts through prequalification, disclosure, monitoring, and
review of client portfolios to confirm the investments are recommended only to qualified
clients and take into consideration the clients’ risk tolerance and goals.
Item 7: Types of Clients
CAPTRUST provides continuous and ongoing investment advisory services to:
• Wealth Clients, including but not limited to, individuals, high net worth individuals,
trusts, estates, charitable organizations, foundations, endowments, and corporate
entities; and
•
Institutional Clients including, but not limited to, 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans, pensions
and profit-sharing plans, non-qualified plans, foundations, endowments, corporations
(disclosed separately in CAPTRUST’s Institutional Brochure, please see
https://www.captrust.com/important-disclosures/).
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss
CAPTRUST’s investment strategy begins with an understanding of a client’s financial goals.
Adviser uses demographic and financial information provided by the client to assess the
client’s risk profile and investment objectives when determining an appropriate plan for the
client’s assets. Investment strategies generally include long or short-term purchases of stock
portfolios, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, fixed income securities, and other
investment vehicles where appropriate, and may include margin transactions and options
strategies.
Investment strategies. CAPTRUST uses both a risk-based and outcome-based approach to
asset allocation. Client portfolios will predominantly be invested in the following asset classes:
US equities, international equities, fixed income, alternative investments (strategic
opportunities), commodities, and real estate.
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors may build custom allocations for clients or select from pre-
built models managed by the Investment Committee. Investment recommendations, including
model selection, are based on an analysis of the client’s individual needs and are drawn from
research and analysis. In general, investment analysis methods may include fundamental
analysis as well as quantitative and qualitative research on a given investment vehicle.
Information for this analysis may be drawn from financial newspapers, magazines, databases,
research materials prepared by others, annual reports, corporate filings, and prospectuses.
Additional sources of information utilized by CAPTRUST include meetings and discussions
10
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609
www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
with investment managers employed by investment companies, statistical summaries and
analysis and such other sources CAPTRUST deems appropriate. CAPTRUST may utilize
services of subadvisers and established third party research services to assist CAPTRUST with
formulating asset allocation, industry and sector selection, and investment recommendations
in managing the client’s funds. Technical analysis may be used when analyzing indices and/or
securities.
It is important to note that investing in securities involves certain risks that are borne by the
investor. For risks associated with investment company (mutual fund) products, clients
should refer to fund prospectuses. Our investment approach constantly keeps the risk of loss
in mind. These risks include, but are not limited to:
•
Interest rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to
fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less
attractive, causing their market value to decline.
• Market Risk: The price of a security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in reaction to
tangible and intangible events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by external
factors independent of a security’s particular underlying circumstances. For example,
political, economic and social conditions may trigger market events.
•
Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will not buy as much
as a dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
• Reinvestment Risk: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have to
be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e., interest rate). This primarily
relates to fixed income securities.
• Business Risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a particular
company within an industry. For example, oil-drilling companies depend on finding oil
and then refining it, a lengthy process, before they can generate a profit. They carry a
higher risk of profitability than an electric company, which generates its income from a
steady stream of customers who buy electricity no matter what the economic
environment is like.
• Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash.
Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized
product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties are
not. Some funds, such as interval funds, that could be utilized in select strategies
employed by CAPTRUST, carry liquidity risk. In some circumstances, clients have had to
wait several quarters or longer when requesting liquidity from the manager of interval
funds within select CAPTRUST asset allocated model strategies that utilize these semi-
liquid instruments.
• Financial Risk: Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations increases the risk
of profitability, because the company must meet the terms of its obligations in good
times and bad. During periods of financial stress, the inability to meet loan obligations
may result in bankruptcy and/or a declining market value.
• Concentration Risk: The probability of loss due to heavy exposure to a single
investment, equity or issuer. Some funds utilized in model strategies employed by
CAPTRUST, carry a kind of concentration risk because clients may own more than one
fund managed by the same issuer; or clients may be invested in several funds with
similar strategies which poses a type of concentration risk. Another form of
concentration risk occurs when one group of clients comprise a large portion of a
11
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609

mutual fund’s total asset base, those clients experience an additional risk over and
above the risks associated with the investment’s strategy due directly to the
concentration of their assets in that fund. CAPTRUST strategies may involve some or all
of the types of concentration risk described here.
• Other risks: CAPTRUST’s recommended strategies include the risks listed above as well
as other risks that are more specifically associated with managers, strategies, funds, or
instruments CAPTRUST selects or recommends. For example, some recommended
managers use derivatives (e.g., options as a hedge) which pose special risks; others
carry liquidity risk specific to underlying investments; additionally, some of Adviser’s
asset allocated model strategies have a particular concentration risk because Adviser
may allocate a large portion of a portfolio to a single manager, or a fund complex. Some
portfolios include alternative or uncommon investment strategies, or allocations to
funds with limited or no prior history of operations. Each recommended manager
discloses risks associated with investing in their funds separately in their respective
brochures and/or prospectuses.
o Although CAPTRUST acknowledges that clients are relying on CAPTRUST to
manage portfolio risk, clients are encouraged to read managers’ disclosure
brochures and prospectuses and ask questions of CAPTRUST’S Financial
Advisors, Investment Committee members, or compliance team members.
Please contact us at 919.870.6822 or send a message to
compliance@captrust.com.
• Private investment funds: Clients who are qualified to invest in private funds must
acknowledge and accept the specific risk factors that are associated with investing in
private funds. Private fund investments involve various risk factors, including, but not
limited to, potential for complete loss of principal, illiquidity, and lack of transparency.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal
or disciplinary events that would be material to a client or prospective client’s evaluation of
CAPTRUST or the integrity of CAPTRUST’s management. Neither CAPTRUST management
nor members of CAPTRUST’s Investment Committee have any reportable disciplinary history
for this Item. Each Financial Advisor who acts as a Portfolio Manager has a separate Form
ADV Part 2B. Please refer to Form ADV Part 2B for personal disciplinary information for
individual Financial Advisors.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
CAPTRUST is affiliated by common ownership to CapFinancial Securities, LLC (“CFS”), a
FINRA broker-dealer (Member SIPC). CAPTRUST does not manage any proprietary mutual
funds.
CFS, as an affiliated registered broker-dealer, provides individuals and institutions with
general securities investment services. Many Investment Adviser Representatives with
Adviser are also registered as CFS Registered Representatives. A CAPTRUST Financial
Advisor who focuses primarily on wealth advisory services generally spends less than 10% of
their time on work done for clients focused on activities consistent with the definition of
broker-dealer activities. A CAPTRUST Financial Advisor whose focus is Institutional Clients
will generally spend less than 1% of their time on broker-dealer activities. Boston Fiduciary
Services, LLC (“BFS”) is affiliated by common ownership. BFS provides professional trustee
and fiduciary services to individuals, businesses, and non-profit organizations.

CAPTRUST business divisions called “1776 Advisor Group,” “Strategic Advisor Group,” and
“Family Office Risk Advisors,” together with several CAPTRUST Financial Advisors, are
licensed to act as agent of record for clients who own life insurance products or for
retirement plans funded with group variable products. Financial Advisors may occasionally
recommend fixed or variable annuities or life insurance (including Private Placement Life
Insurance (“PPLI”) to their Wealth Clients when assisting them in executing their financial
plan. CFS and CAPTRUST have business entity insurance licenses. Strategic Advisor Group’s
primary source of revenue is life insurance commissions not involving CAPTRUST qualified
retirement plan clients.
As a result of certain investment-related recommendations provided to its clients, CFS may
facilitate certain securities purchases and/or sales, or insurance product purchases and/or
sales on behalf of CAPTRUST clients. Such transactions may be facilitated by CFS, in its
capacity as a registered broker-dealer or insurance agent/agency (business entity).
Commissions charged by CFS may be higher or lower than obtainable elsewhere. When CFS
is being compensated by commissions, general promotion, advertising, and distribution fees
(such as 12b-1 fees) in relation to purchases and sales of commission-based investment
products or mutual fund shares, CAPTRUST does not also charge an advisory fee on those
assets but includes the accounts at a 0% advisory fee.
In 2025, CFG acquired the assets of Carolinas Wealth Consulting, LLC (CRD: 300003) and its
affiliated broker-dealer, Carolinas Investment Consulting LLC (Charlotte, NC); Cobblestone
Capital Advisors, LLC (CRD: 108023) (Rochester, NY); and Meritage Portfolio Management,
Inc. (CRD: 107177) (Overland Park, KS).
Material Conflicts Regarding Private Funds
CAPTRUST provides investment recommendations and advice regarding both affiliated and
non-affiliated private investment funds. CAPTRUST provides the fund’s offering materials at
or prior to recommending the investment. Clients should refer to the fund’s confidential
offering memorandum for applicable disclosures regarding management of the fund, its
investment objective, risk factors, tax, and related factors. CAPTRUST’s activities as general
partner and investment advisor to private funds are disclosed in CAPTRUST’s Form ADV Part
1A, Section 7.B. Private Fund Reporting, subsections (1) and (2), respectively.
One Brick. CAPTRUST serves as investment advisor to One Brick Select Private Equity 2024,
L.P. CAPTRUST also serves as investment advisor to One Brick Select Private Credit Fund, LP
and One Brick Select Private Credit Qualified Fund I, LP (the “One Brick Funds”). The One
Brick Funds invest in T. Rowe Price OHA Select Private Credit Fund (“OCredit”). OHA Private
Credit Advisors LLC (“OHA Advisor”) is the investment adviser to OCredit. OCredit pays OHA
Advisor an incentive fee for serving as its investment manager. As more people invest in
OCredit, OHA Advisor will earn more fees. One Brick Funds will also share in those incentive
fees, which creates an incentive for CAPTRUST to recommend OCredit in order to increase
the potential profits eligible to be shared with investors in the One Brick Funds which include
CAPTRUST clients and employees. (Please see Item 6.). One Brick Funds pay 10bps/year in
advisory fees to CAPTRUST.
Homecourt. CAPTRUST is the owner of CAPTRUST 2022 Homecourt Fund GP, LLC, a
Delaware single member limited liability company, for which the sole purpose was the
organization of a private fund called CAPTRUST 2022 Homecourt Fund, L.P. (“Homecourt”).
Homecourt was formed as an “Access Fund” into Dyal HomeCourt US Investors LP (“Dyal”),
and independent third party private limited partnership. CAPTRUST acts as the investment
adviser to Homecourt. The interests were offered pursuant to an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

There is no public market for the interests, and no such market is expected to develop in the
future. CAPTRUST’s “Management Fee Rate” is 0.10% per annum for limited partners who are
clients and 1.00% per annum for limited partners who are no longer clients.
Cobblestone. In connection to the integration of Cobblestone Capital Advisors, LLC (“CCA”),
CAPTRUST entered into an investment management and a fund administrative services
agreement to provide investment management and fund administration services to the
fourteen (14) Cobblestone private funds. Fund level details can be found in CAPTRUST’s Form

Covenant. CAPTRUST acts as subadvisor to three (3) Covenant private funds for which SALI

investment manager and general partner. Fund level details can be found in PPB’s Form ADV
Part 1A, PPB Section 7.B. Private Fund Reporting.
Item 11: Code of Ethics
CAPTRUST’s Code of Ethics addresses, among other things: (i) CAPTRUST’s fiduciary
obligations to its clients, (ii) personal securities trading procedures restricting the purchase
and sale of specific securities by employees for their own accounts; (iii) provisions relating to
the confidentiality of client information; (iv) prohibitions on insider trading; (v) limits on
political contributions and activities; and (vi) restrictions on the acceptance and giving of
significant gifts and the reporting of certain gifts and business entertainment.
Personal securities transactions by CAPTRUST directors, officers, and employees who: (I)
have access to nonpublic information regarding clients’ purchase and sale of securities, (II)
are involved in making securities recommendations to clients, or (III) have access to such
non-public recommendations are subject to the restrictions and procedures set forth in
CAPTRUST’s Code of Ethics. All employees at CAPTRUST must acknowledge the terms of the
Code of Ethics annually, or when amended.
Occasionally, Adviser’s employees may recommend that clients buy or sell the same
securities or investment products that Adviser’s employees also own. CAPTRUST’s employees
and persons associated with CAPTRUST are required to follow the Code of Ethics. The Code
of Ethics is intended to identify and address potential conflicts of interest that might arise in
the context of personal securities transactions, activities, and interests of CAPTRUST
employees that might interfere or appear to interfere with making decisions in the best
interest of advisory clients.
Under the Code of Ethics, certain classes of securities have been designated as exempt
transactions, based upon a determination that they would not materially interfere with the
best interest of CAPTRUST’s clients. In addition, the Code of Ethics requires pre-approval of
specific types of transactions, and, depending on the transaction, may restrict trading in close
proximity to client trading activity. Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some
circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same securities as clients, there is a
possibility that employees might benefit from market activity by a client. Employee trading is
14
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609
www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
monitored under the Code of Ethics to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between
CAPTRUST and its clients.
CAPTRUST employees whose accounts are managed by CAPTRUST are included in block
trading where CAPTRUST places trades for execution that include accounts of two or more
clients and when CAPTRUST believes trade aggregation is appropriate and in the best
interest of its clients. (See “Block Trades” under “Brokerage Practices” below for additional
information).
CAPTRUST’s clients or prospective clients may request a copy of the Adviser’s Code of Ethics
by contacting the Compliance Department at 919.870.6822 or 800.216.0645 or by email at
compliance@captrust.com.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Some CAPTRUST Financial Advisors (Investment Adviser Representatives) also affect
securities transactions for clients as registered representatives of a broker-dealer (see Item
10). Further, Adviser or its associated persons may receive compensation for such
transactions, where such compensation is separate and distinct from Adviser’s compensation
related to its investment advisory services. All FINRA, SEC, and other regulatory agency’s
disclosure requirements and policies are observed for all transactions.
Wrap Fee Programs. Clients who have chosen a wrap fee arrangement when utilizing a
brokerage platform should review the CAPTRUST Wrap Fee Programs Brochure, available at
https://captrust.com/important-disclosures , for a description of wrap fee programs
sponsored by CAPTRUST. CAPTRUST uses risk-based and outcomes-based approaches to
portfolio management. Regardless of whether a client is in a wrap or a non-wrap account,
when executing trade orders within a risk-based strategy described in Item 8, trades for
accounts are blocked together at each of the three custodians if the objectives and/or
instructions for the order are similar.
Block Trades. CAPTRUST may aggregate or “block” orders being placed for execution at the
same time for the accounts of two or more clients, where it believes such aggregation is
appropriate and in the best interest of the clients. All accounts within the block will receive
the same execution price on each trade date. This practice may include accounts in which
CAPTRUST’s affiliates and employees have an ownership interest. However, CAPTRUST is not
obligated to block orders or to include any account in a blocked order if portfolio
management decisions for such accounts are made separately or if CAPTRUST determines
that blocking trades would be inconsistent with the Adviser’s investment management duties.
These duties may include the consideration of any investment objectives, guidelines, special
requests, or restrictions applicable to a particular account.
All block orders placed for execution are subject to CAPTRUST’s Trade Allocation
Procedures. Under these procedures, CAPTRUST will block orders where appropriate for the
participating clients and when consistent with CAPTRUST's duty to seek best execution. Prior
to or contemporaneous with the entry of a blocked order, CAPTRUST will capture the pre-
allocation for the blocked trade identifying client accounts or trading groups of client
accounts participating in the blocked order detailed either in dollars, number of shares, or
percent of market value for the referenced client accounts.
Based on the individual market for security, CAPTRUST may not receive complete execution
on the entire volume of securities purchased or sold during a single trading session. Thus, the
effect of the aggregation may operate in some circumstances to a particular client’s
disadvantage. When a blocked order is partially filled, the securities purchased or sold by the
close of each business day will be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-
15
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609
www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
allocation statement and does not consistently advantage or disadvantage particular clients
or groups of client accounts. However, adjustments to the allocation may be made to avoid
de minimis allocations to client accounts or to avoid deviations from pre-determined holding
limits or other such limitations established for any account. CAPTRUST will retain records of
the trade order specifying each participating account and its allocation.
Although CAPTRUST generally attempts to block trades for client accounts, aggregation may
not be possible because of that client’s specific brokerage arrangements or other factors. The
majority of CAPTRUST sponsored wrap fee accounts use Pershing as their custodian. Some
clients may select Schwab, Fidelity, or upon occasion, other financial institutions to act as
custodian and broker/dealer for their accounts. When the Investment Committee, a Portfolio
Manager, or Investment Strategist implements a portfolio decision or strategy ahead of or
contemporaneously with similar portfolio decisions or strategies of other clients certain
factors may create less favorable execution results when compared to other clients. Such
factors may include liquidity constraints, potential market impact, or the time executions
occur at different custodians. While CAPTRUST makes every effort to reduce conflicts of
interest, there can be no assurance that any actual or potential conflicts of interest will not
result in a particular client or group of clients receiving less favorable investment terms or
returns from certain investments than if such conflicts of interest did not exist. For
CAPTRUST client accounts maintained by the custodians, custodians generally do not charge
separately for custody services but may be compensated by account holders through
commissions and other transaction-related or asset-based fees for securities trades that are
executed through the custodian or that settle in accounts held by the custodian. Custodians
may also make available to CAPTRUST products and services that could benefit CAPTRUST
but may not benefit all clients’ accounts.
Some of these other products and services assist CAPTRUST in managing and administering
client accounts. These include software and other technology that provide access to client
account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements); the facilitation of trade
execution and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts; research,
pricing information and other market data; facilitating payment of CAPTRUST’s fees from its
clients’ accounts; and assistance with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client
reporting. Many of these services generally may be used to service all or a substantial number
of CAPTRUST’s accounts, including accounts not maintained at the custodian.
The foregoing arrangements pose a conflict of interest to the extent they create an incentive
for CAPTRUST to suggest that clients maintain their assets in accounts at a custodian based
on products and services that may become available to CAPTRUST rather than solely based
on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by custodian to
clients. However, CAPTRUST is constrained by fiduciary principles to act in its clients’ best
interests and will suggest a custodian to clients only when it is appropriate to do so. In
addition, CAPTRUST maintains an awareness of the services provided to clients by these
custodians to confirm that clients are well served by these partners.
In general, when a trade error occurs in a managed account CAPTRUST absorbs the loss from
correcting transactions and the custodian typically makes a charitable donation of any
resulting profit. However, each custodian handles trade error corrections slightly differently.
CAPTRUST has controls in place to limit trade errors.
Some transactions that must be made by application or subscription agreement will be
facilitated directly with the fund administrator, insurance company, or other legal entity
responsible for effecting such transactions. While most of the Adviser’s business is done on a
fee basis, an investment adviser representative may be compensated in connection to a
transaction (by commission) when appointed by the client as “broker or agent of record” for
a direct-to-the-fund account set up through CFS. In that case, CFS may be compensated by
16
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609
www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
commissions, general promotion, advertising, and distribution fees (such as 12b-1 fees) in
relation to purchases and sales of commission-based investment products or mutual fund
shares in those types of accounts. There are a limited number of these non-advisory
commissions-based client accounts. CAPTRUST advises these types of accounts at a 0%
advisory fee.
CAPTRUST clients utilize the brokerage platforms provided by Pershing, Fidelity, or Schwab.
While CAPTRUST does have the ability to negotiate fees or commissions on behalf of clients,
CAPTRUST does not direct brokerage to a particular venue for execution, but rather relies on
Pershing, Schwab, or Fidelity to utilize their resources to select the most appropriate venue
for execution. An exception to this practice involves bond trades that are directed by a
CAPTRUST Financial Advisor to an executing broker dealer.
Fees and commissions charged by these brokerage platforms may be higher or lower than
obtainable elsewhere. Circumstances occasionally arise when the brokerage platforms must
impose a separate or special handling or custodial charge for acting as custodian for an
exempt security or private placement that was recommended by CAPTRUST to a CAPTRUST
advisory client. On a case-by-case basis, CAPTRUST may cover the cost of this type of fee on
a “value-added” basis by having the fee directly billed to CAPTRUST rather than the client or
by reimbursing the client. Finally, CAPTRUST participates in several referral programs offered
by the custodians that benefit CAPTRUST which are identified in the detailed disclosure
under Item 14 (below).
Item 13: Review of Accounts
A client’s Financial Advisor is responsible for performing periodic reviews of the client’s
accounts, consulting with their clients, and staying abreast of changes to their clients’ goals
and objectives. CAPTRUST’s Investment Group conducts ongoing reviews of markets,
sectors, and individual securities. Unaffiliated mutual fund holdings and outside Investment
Managers are monitored on a continuous and regular basis by the CAPTRUST Investment
Group. Michael Vogelzang, Chief Investment Officer, leads the Investment Group. ADV Part
2B (attached to this brochure) lists the members of the Investment Group who are also
members of the Investment Committee or who are involved in the review process and in
determining the investment advice to be given by the Adviser. In addition to monthly
statements provided by the custodian of the client’s assets, CAPTRUST prepares quarterly
performance reports for Wealth Client accounts. Clients may access their quarterly
performance reports electronically via CAPTRUST’s client portal. Clients should contact their
Financial Advisor, or contact CAPTRUST at the contact details in Item 1, for questions about
how to access their reports. CAPTRUST receives a daily download of transaction information
from Pershing, Schwab, and Fidelity and has access to Wealth Client accounts through their
institutional advisor platforms. Clients agree to inform CAPTRUST in writing of any material
changes to the client’s investment goals and objectives or financial situation that might affect
the manner with which client’s assets should be invested. Additionally, clients who wish to
impose reasonable restrictions on the management of their accounts may do so by
contacting their Financial Advisor or CAPTRUST at the contact details in Item 1.
Clients with portfolios that include private equity and/or other private investments (“private
funds”) should be advised that quarterly values lag for up to 60 days following a quarter-end.
Because CAPTRUST relies on the client’s capital account statement (provided by the issuer or
qualified custodian) for private fund values used for purposes of quarterly portfolio review
and reporting, quarterly review reports will reflect the latest valuation date available.
Consequently, a client’s actual private fund holdings could be significantly more or less than
the value reflected on their portfolio report. Unless otherwise indicated, the client’s advisory
fee will be based upon the value reflected in CAPTRUST’s client portal. Clients may contact
17
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609
www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
CAPTRUST during normal business hours to consult with CAPTRUST concerning the
management of the client’s accounts.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Clients (or prospective clients) who are referred to CAPTRUST, either by means of a paid
endorsement by a third-party or in connection with a paid testimonial by a current client,
must be made aware of the arrangement at the time the testimonial or endorsement is
disseminated in a clear and prominent manner. The disclosure of the arrangement must
explain whether the testimonial was given by a current client or investor; or if the
endorsement was given by a person other than a current client or investor; explain whether
cash or non-cash compensation was provided for the testimonial or endorsement; and if
applicable, include brief statement of any material conflicts of interest on the part of the
person giving the testimonial or endorsement resulting from the investment adviser's
relationship with such person. In cases where a referral takes place in person, these required
disclosures will be delivered in writing at the time the testimonial or endorsement is being
made.
CAPTRUST has entered into referral agreements with various third-party solicitors for client
referrals. For a solicitor to be compensated by CAPTRUST for referring a client to CAPTRUST,
the solicitor must be engaged by CAPTRUST under a solicitor or referral agreement (“Referral
Agreement”) in compliance with Rule 206(4)-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. In
general, a solicitor is compensated by a percentage of the advisory fee collected for a
specified period of time (as detailed in the Referral Agreement).
CAPTRUST’s fee is reduced by the amount of the compensation to the solicitor – clients pay
no additional fee for the referral over and above CAPTRUST’s quoted advisory fee.
Each Referral Agreement requires the solicitor to deliver the required disclosures either in
writing or electronically at the time of the testimonial or endorsement is made. Clients may
request details regarding a particular Referral Agreement by contacting CAPTRUST at the
contact details in Item 1.
Schwab Advisor Network®
CAPTRUST receives client referrals from Schwab through the Schwab Advisor Network® (the
“Service”). The Service is designed to help investors find an independent investment advisor.
Schwab is a broker-dealer independent of and unaffiliated with CAPTRUST. Schwab does not
supervise CAPTRUST and has no responsibility for CAPTRUST’s management of clients’
portfolios or CAPTRUST’s other advice or services. CAPTRUST pays Schwab fees to receive
client referrals through the Service. CAPTRUST’s participation in the Service may raise
potential conflicts of interest described below.
CAPTRUST pays Schwab a participation fee on all referred client accounts that are
maintained at Schwab and a non-Schwab custody fee on all accounts that are maintained at,
or transferred to, another custodian. The participation fee is a percentage of the advisory fees
charged by CAPTRUST or a percentage of the value of the assets in the client’s account,
subject to a minimum Participation Fee. CAPTRUST pays Schwab the participation fee for so
long as the referred client’s account remains in custody at Schwab. The participation fee is
billed to CAPTRUST quarterly and may be increased, decreased or be waived by Schwab
from time to time. The participation fee is paid by CAPTRUST and not by the client.
CAPTRUST has agreed not to charge clients referred through the Service fees or costs
greater than the fees or costs CAPTRUST charges clients with similar portfolios who were not
referred through the Service.
18
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609
www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
CAPTRUST generally pays a one-time non-Schwab custody fee, equal to a percentage of the
assets maintained outside of Schwab, if custody of a referred client’s account is not
maintained by, or assets in the account are transferred from Schwab. This fee does not apply
if the client was solely responsible for the decision not to maintain custody at Schwab The
non-Schwab custody fee is higher than the participation fees CAPTRUST generally would pay
in a single year. Thus, CAPTRUST will have an incentive to recommend that client accounts be
held in custody at Schwab.
The participation and non-Schwab custody fees will be based on assets in accounts of
CAPTRUST’s clients who were referred by Schwab and those referred clients’ family members
living in the same household. Thus, CAPTRUST will have incentives to encourage household
members of clients referred through the Service to maintain custody of their accounts and
execute transactions at Schwab and to instruct Schwab to debit CAPTRUST’s fees directly
from the accounts.
For accounts of CAPTRUST’s clients maintained in custody at Schwab, Schwab will not
charge the client separately for custody but will receive compensation from CAPTRUST’s
clients in the form of commission or other transaction-related compensation on securities
trades executed through Schwab. Schwab also will receive a fee (generally lower than the
applicable commission on trades it executes) for clearance and settlement of trades executed
through broker-dealers other than Schwab. Schwab’s fees for trades executed at other
broker-dealers are in addition to the other broker-dealer’s fees. Thus, CAPTRUST may have
an incentive to cause trades to be executed through Schwab rather than another broker-
dealer. CAPTRUST nevertheless acknowledges its duty to seek best execution of trades for
client accounts. Trades for client accounts held in custody at Schwab may be executed
through a different broker-dealer than trades for CAPTRUST’s other clients. Thus, trades for
accounts custodied at Schwab may be executed at different times and different prices than
trades for other accounts that are executed at other broker-dealers.
Fidelity Wealth Advisor Solutions®
CAPTRUST participates in the Fidelity Wealth Advisor Solutions® Program (the “WAS
Program”), through which CAPTRUST receives referrals from Fidelity Personal and Workplace
Advisors LLC (FPWA), a registered investment adviser and Fidelity Investments company.
CAPTRUST is independent and not affiliated with FPWA or any Fidelity Investments
company. FPWA does not supervise or control CAPTRUST and FPWA has no responsibility or
oversight for CAPTRUST’s provision of investment management or other advisory services.
Under the WAS Program, FPWA acts as a solicitor for CAPTRUST in exchange for referral
fees for each referral received. Fee is based on CAPTRUST’s assets under management
attributable to each referred client or client’s household member. The WAS Program helps
investors find an independent investment advisor, and any referral from FPWA to CAPTRUST
does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement by FPWA. More specifically,
CAPTRUST pays the following amounts to FPWA for referrals: the sum of (i) an annual
percentage of 0.10% of any and all assets in client accounts where such assets are identified
as “fixed income” assets by FPWA and (ii) an annual percentage of 0.25% of all other assets
held in client accounts. In addition, CAPTRUST has agreed to pay FPWA a minimum annual
fee amount in connection with its participation in the WAS Program. These referral fees are
paid by CAPTRUST and not the client.
To receive referrals from the WAS Program, CAPTRUST must meet certain minimum
participation criteria, but CAPTRUST may have been selected for participation in the WAS
Program because of its other business relationships with FPWA and its affiliates, including
Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC (“FBS”). As a result of its participation in the WAS Program,
CAPTRUST may have a potential conflict of interest with respect to its decision to use certain
19
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors | 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27609
www.captrust.com | 919.870.6822 | 800.216.0645
affiliates of FPWA, including FBS, for execution, custody and clearing for certain client
accounts, and CAPTRUST may have a potential incentive to suggest the use of FBS and its
affiliates to its advisory clients, whether or not those clients were referred to CAPTRUST as
part of the WAS Program. Under an agreement with FPWA, CAPTRUST has agreed that
Adviser will not charge clients more than the standard range of advisory fees disclosed in its
brochure to cover solicitation fees paid to FPWA as part of the WAS Program. Pursuant to
these arrangements, CAPTRUST has agreed not to solicit clients to transfer their brokerage
accounts from affiliates of FPWA or establish brokerage accounts at other custodians for
referred clients other than when CAPTRUST’s fiduciary duties would so require, and
CAPTRUST has agreed to pay FPWA a one-time fee equal to 0.75% of the assets in a client
account that is transferred from FPWA’s affiliates to another custodian; therefore, CAPTRUST
may have an incentive to suggest that referred clients and their household members maintain
custody of their accounts with affiliates of FPWA. However, participation in the WAS
Program does not limit CAPTRUST’s duty to select brokers on the basis of best execution.
Item 15: Custody
Clients should receive statements at least quarterly from the qualified custodian that holds
and maintains the client’s investment assets. CAPTRUST urges clients to carefully review such
statements and compare the custodial statements to any reports provided by CAPTRUST.
CAPTRUST reports may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures,
reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities. CAPTRUST does not act as
a qualified custodian for client assets.
CAPTRUST discloses in Item 9 of Form ADV Part 1 that it has custody of clients’ funds or
assets for certain reasons (e.g., where a Wealth Client has granted their CAPTRUST Financial
Advisor the ability to access the client’s assets). CAPTRUST is subject to an annual surprise
custody examination by an independent certified public accounting firm.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
For the majority of CAPTRUST Wealth Clients, Adviser has the authority to determine,
without obtaining specific client consent, both the securities to be bought and sold in their
accounts as well as the amount of the securities to be bought or sold. However, this
discretion must be provided at the beginning of the advisory relationship and documented in
the advisory agreement. There is no particular set limit to this discretion established as part of
the agreement or this brochure. Adviser has the authority to negotiate commission rates
charged by the custodians, but does not have any control over the fees charged by the
custodians for the services they provide. These fee changes have a direct impact to the client
as they may be charged commissions for transactions. There is no limitation on such
discretion, and the client may pay commissions higher than those obtainable from other
broker-dealers for the same products and services. Commissions and/or transaction fees
charged Pershing, Fidelity, and Schwab may be higher or lower than obtainable elsewhere.
We also offer non-discretionary wealth management services to clients. Non-discretionary
services are different in that recommendations are made regarding portfolio changes to
investments and trades are not executed until the client gives final approval. Fees for non-
discretionary services may or may not be the same as discretionary wealth management
services. All fees are negotiable with the client’s Financial Advisor.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
In general, CAPTRUST clients delegate the authority to vote their proxies to CAPTRUST in
their agreement. It is CAPTRUST’s aim to see that proxies are voted in the best interest of its
clients. As such, CAPTRUST has engaged Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”), to

vote proxies on behalf of clients who delegate proxy voting authority to CAPTRUST. ISS is an
independent proxy voting service provider, which performs extensive research, and has
designed and maintains a number of proxy voting guidelines. While clients are always free to
vote their own proxies, for those that delegate that responsibility to CAPTRUST, CAPTRUST
generally leverages ISS Benchmark Proxy Voting Guidelines (“Guidelines”). The Guidelines are
based on widely accepted good governance practices and principles, are designed to be
responsive to the wide range of issues that can be raised in proxy situations, and to increase
total shareholder value and risk mitigation. Additionally, clients may revoke their delegation
of proxy voting authority at any time, with written notice to CAPTRUST. The Proxy Voting
Policy contains additional guidelines and methods by which conflicts of interests are
addressed. Such conflicts may include situations where CAPTRUST has or is seeking a client
relationship with the issuer of the security that is the subject of the proxy vote. Generally,
because the Guidelines pre-establish voting positions, application of these Guidelines should
adequately address any possible conflicts of interest.
SMA Accounts. Where CAPTRUST has recommended an SMA Manager, clients delegate
proxy voting authority to their SMA Manager. The SMA Manager’s proxy voting policies will
be detailed in their Form ADV Part 2 brochure.
To obtain a copy of CAPTRUST’s Proxy Voting Policy or for a copy of CAPTRUST’s Proxy
Voting record, clients can contact CAPTRUST at the contact details in Item 1. Alternatively,
clients may email proxyvoting@captrust.com or write to CAPTRUST “Investment
Administration” to obtain the information at the address below:

Item 4: Services, Fees, and Compensation
Types of Advisory Services
CAPTRUST wrap fee programs (''Wrap Fee Programs" or "programs") are designed to assist clients, both wealthy
individuals and institutions (such as corporations, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and other business
entities) (each a "client''), to identify their investment needs and to obtain professional asset / portfolio
management for a convenient single "wrap" fee. Wrap fees include both asset / portfolio management and the
cost of execution (ticket charges). CAPTRUST is the "Program Sponsor" of the Wrap Fee Programs discussed in this
Brochure. Wrap Fee Programs may be offered at different custodians through portfolio management account
services, in which CAPTRUST provides portfolio management services, or separately managed account ("SMA")
services, in which CAPTRUST recommends and the client selects a third-party manager.
Other investment advisory services include:
•
Portfolio management on a non-wrap fee basis-where investment advisory/portfolio management fees do
not include the cost of execution,
•
Business, financial and/or estate planning,
•
Institutional and retirement plan advisory and/or consulting services, and/or
•
Participant Advisory Services: and other services disclosed separately.
Please see disclosure brochures for CAPTRUST's wealth client and institutional advisory services at:
https://www.captrust.com/important-disclosures/ or you may request information at the contact information in
Item 1.
CAPTRUST clients choose the brokerage platform to hold their investment accounts. CAPTRUST has prime broker
and/or brokerage custody agreements to provide execution, brokerage, and custodial account services to clients
with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. ('Schwab"); Pershing Advisor Solutions, LLC through Pershing, LLC ("Pershing"); and
Fidelity Investments through Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC/National Financial, LLC ("Fidelity").
Regardless of which brokerage platform or program clients select, clients will retain the right to :
• withdraw securities or cash;
•
vote on shareholder proposals of beneficially owned security issues or delegate the authority to vote on
shareholder proposals to CAPTRUST or to another person.
•
be provided in a timely manner with a written confirmation or other notification of each securities
transaction, and all other documents required by law to be provided to security holders; and
•
proceed directly as a security holder against the issuer of any security in the client's account.
Client Investment Process. The CAPTRUST Financial Advisor ("FA") works with the client to determine their
investment goals and objectives before selecting and recommending an investment style, allocation, and/or a
diversified portfolio of investments, including investment vehicles and/or independent investment managers
("Investment Managers") appropriate for the client. This is done both initially and on an ongoing basis. The FA
collects financial and personal information from the client, assists in establishing the client's investment goals,
objectives, and strategies, and evaluates the suitability of different investments for the client. See Item 6 for the
investment manager selection and portfolio management process.

Portfolio Management Services {"PMA") and Wrap Fee Programs
Description of Program. PMA or CAPTRUST Wrap Fee Program accounts (also referred to as "Wrap Advisory
Services" or ''WAS") can be set up on either a discretionary basis or a non-discretionary basis. The PMA or WAS
portfolio manager ("Portfolio Manager") will be either: (1) the Investment Committee, comprised of members of
CAPTRUST's Investment Group {"Investment Group"), and described in Appendix 1 to CAPTRUST's Wealth
Brochure or (2) the client's CAPTRUST FA. CAPTRUST uses both a risk-based and outcome-based approach to asset
allocation and allocates the following asset classes across client portfolios: US equities, international equities, fixed
income, alternative investments, commodities, and real estate.
When managing PMA or WAS portfolios on a discretionary basis, the client's portfolio manager may make changes
to the client's account without obtaining the client's prior consent. The portfolio manager may make changes,
including modifying investment selections (including mutual funds, ETFs, stocks, bonds, or cash) or reallocating
among CAPTRUST managed model allocations, if an investment no longer aligns with the client's investment goals
and objectives, experiences a material change (such as a change in fund management), or if the change is
otherwise determined to be in the client's best interest.
When managing PMA or WAS portfolios on a non-discretionary basis, the client's financial advisor-rather than the
Investment Committee-serves as the portfolio manager. In this arrangement, the financial advisor must make a
recommendation and obtain the client's consent before implementing any changes to the client's investment
selections.
Regardless of whether the wrap fee account is discretionary or non-discretionary, the client can elect to change
investment selections or make reasonable modifications to their investment portfolio at any time by sending
written notice to their financial advisor. CAPTRUST clients may have more than one wrap fee account, such as a
non-discretionary PMA where the financial advisor is the portfolio manager, and a PMA account where the
Investment Committee acts as portfolio manager and allocates to strategic asset allocated investment models .
Services provided in Wrap Fee Programs Include :
•
Establishing investment strategies through the documentation of a client's investment goals and objectives
as outlined by the client and their financial advisor,
• Determining asset allocation strategies to meet the financial goals of the client,
• Determining specific investment style allocations,
•
Identifying tax optimization strategies,
• Researching and evaluating investment management firms, their mutual funds, exchange traded funds
("ETFs"), collective trusts, and other investment vehicles appropriate for the client's investment portfolio,
•
Identifying specific independent, unaffiliated money management firms appropriate for the client's
investment portfolio,
• Hiring independent money management firms on behalf of the client,
• Reporting and reviewing the performance of money management firms and other investment vehicles,
•
Performing quarterly investment reviews,
•
Periodic rebalancing and investment plan re-allocating client's investment portfolio,

Separately Managed Account ("SMA") Wrap Fee Program
Description of Program. Each account in the SMA Wrap Fee Program ("SMA program") is a discretionary account
where each selected SMA Investment Manager ("SMA manager") implements changes to the client's investment
portfolio without obtaining the client's prior consent to those changes. The minimum initial investment for
participation in this CAPTRUST Program is generally $100,000 or more and varies from one SMA manager to the
next. CAPTRUST has limited investment discretion with respect to the client's se curities in the SMA Program.
Rather, the SMA Manager selected by the client is granted investment discretion by the client and exercises this
authority in the day-to-day portfolio management of the client's accounts.
In accordance with the client's investment goals and objectives, and the asset classes in their investment portfolio,
CAPTRUST recommends certain SMA managers for each asset class and based on an SMA manager's investment
style. Under this model, CAPTRUST uses strategic asset allocation and investment manager recommendations
based on CAPTRUST's research and forward-looking views. Applying its strategic investment models that vary
according to varying risk levels, CAPTRUST recommends an SMA manager by asset class. The client, however,
selects the particular SMA manager(s) for its accounts.
The client can elect to change SMA managers at any time . CAPTRUST does have the discretion to change the
client's SMA manager, but an SMA manager will generally not be removed or replaced by CAPTRUST without the
client's knowledge. However, if the client is not otherwise available and CAPTRUST's Investment Committee or the
client's financial advisor deems it advisable to do so, CAPTRUST will exercise the right to remove or replace an SMA
manager without the prior consent. In such a case, CAPTRUST will promptly advise the client of each such change .
Examples would be where the client's financial circumstances change or economic or market conditions change,
or, if in CAPTRUST's opinion, a selected SMA Manager no longer meets the client's investment goals and
objectives, or no longer manages according to its stated investment style parameters or there is a fundamental
change in the management of the SMA manager which would mandate a switch . The client may override
CAPTRUST's suggestions as to SMA managers or investment vehicles, in whole or in part.
Investments/Strategies. Most SMA managers in the SMA program use long-only equity and/or fixed income
strategies. Some SMA managers sell covered calls. Occasionally, CAPTRUST recommends an SMA Manager for the
SMA Program that shorts securities, uses options, futures, and other derivatives/securities, or employs more
sophisticated trading techniques, but only if deemed suitable for a particular client who is a sophisticated investor.
SMA Manager Reviews. Performance of SMA Managers is monitored on a quarterly basis by members of the
Investment Group. The Investment Group monitors each recommended SMA Manager in the SMA Program for
performance against its peers, the stated benchmark, and for adherence to its stated strategy. The Investment
Group reque sts quarterly due diligence questionnaires from each SMA Manager for consideration by the
Investment Group in its analysis.
Performance of SMAs is calculated from several different sources. The actual performance of an individual SMA
that is reported to a client is calculated by CAPTRUST's performance reporting team.

Negotiability of Fees
CAPTRUST fees and services are negotiable and may be reduced or waived under certain circumstances. For
example, Adviser, in its sole discretion, may charge a lesser (or no) advisory fee based upon certain criteria,
including but not limited to.
•
Existing financial planning client relationship,
•
Anticipated future earning capacity,
•
Anticipated
future additional assets,
• Dollar amount of assets to be managed,
• Related accounts, account composition, and/or
• Negotiations with client.
Other Important Factors to Consider
Wrap fees paid to CAPTRUST are exclusive of and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds,
ETFs, or other investment pools to their shareholders (generally including a management fee and fund expenses,
as described in each fund's prospectus or offering materials). Clients also pay certain fees to their custodian, such
as margin interest, check fees, fees for trades executed away from custodian, odd lot differentials, mark-up/mark
downs (spreads), and other similar types of fees, as more fully described in CAPTRUST Wealth Brochure.
CAPTRUST Financial Advisors who recommend Wrap Fee Programs receive compensation based, in part, on the
advisory fees paid by clients, including fees paid under wrap fee arrangements. As a result, a Financial Advisor may

II CAPTRUST
have a financial incentive to recommend a wrap fee program over other investment advisory arrangements,
including non-wrap or unbundled fee structures. CAPTRUST seeks to mitigate this potential conflict of interest by
evaluating the suitability of wrap fee programs for each client based on the client's investment objectives,
expected trading activity, and overall circumstances, and by its fiduciary obligation to act in the client's best
interest.
Costs and fees that CAPTRUST does not have to pay to third parties in connection with transaction and execution
expenses are retained by CAPTRUST, therefore CAPTRUST has an incentive to limit trading in the accounts of
clients in the Program.
Schwab has eliminated commissions for online trades of equities and ETFs. Similarly, Fidelity and Pershing have
also eliminated commissions on on line trades of equities and ETFs. This means that, in most cases, when
CAPTRUST buys and sells these types of securities, CAPTRUST does not have to pay any commissions to the
custodian of the client's account. Clients are encouraged to review their custodian's pricing to compare the total
costs of entering a wrap fee arrangement versus a non-wrap fee arrangement. If a client chooses to enter into a
wrap fee arrangement, the total cost to invest could exceed the cost of paying for brokerage and advisory services
separately.
CAPTRUST encourages clients to review the pricing schedules of their respective custodians for fees charged in
non-wrap fee accounts. Schwab's pricing schedules are available at https://www.schwab.com/legal/schwab
pricing-guide-for-advisor-services. For fee schedules for Fidelity or Pershing, please send a request to
compliance@captrust.com .
Clients should review all fees charged by funds, CAPTRUST, and other third-party providers to fully understand the
total amount of fees paid by the client for investment and financial-related services. Clients participating in a
CAPTRUST Wrap Fee Program may pay higher or lower fees than clients purchasing such services separately,
depending on the cost of services if provided separately and the level of trading in a particular client's account.
Clients should contact compliance@captrust.com with any questions on this or any other information in this
Brochure.
Item 5: Account Requirements and Types of Clients
Types of Clients. CAPTRUST provides investment advisory services to client types that include individuals, high net
worth individuals, pensions, profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, foundations,
endowments, and corporations.
Minimums. In general, CAPTRUST does not require a minimum initial account size for its PMA Program Clients. The
value of this account is subject to fluctuation, and therefore there is not a minimum maintenance requirement.
CAPTRUST does not generally impose a minimum portfolio value for participation in the Wrap Advisory Services
Wrap Fee Program.
For SMA Program accounts, the minimum initial investment for participation varies from one SMA Manager to the
next. Clients should review their SMA Manager's Form ADV Part 2 Disclosure Brochure for a detailed disclosure of
their SMA Manager's fees, services, and minimums. Clients should reach out to their FA for more information on
the SMA Manager.
Item 6: Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation
PMA and WAS Wrap Program accounts are designed primarily to simplify the payment of management fees and
brokerage expenses for clients. As noted in Item 4 above, portfolio managers for those accounts can be either
CAPTRUST's Investment Committee or the client's CAPTRUST financial advisor.

II CAPTRUST
The Investment Committee manages several risk-based and outcomes-based model strategies using individual
equities, bonds, independent third-party mutual funds, ETFs, and alternatives, such as registered closed-end funds.
Mutual funds and ETFs are managed by third party Investment Managers. CAPTRUST evaluates investment
managers' investment strategies including mutual funds, indexes, or other managed investment vehicles that may
be included in one or more of CAPTRUST's model strategies to which a PMA or WAS account may be allocated. The
Investment Committee employs a multi-step process in screening the underlying investment managers to
determine if they are suitable for the CAPTRUST Wrap Fee Programs. Ongoing due diligence is performed on the
underlying managers, including quarterly due diligence questionnaires and analysis. The Investment Committee
monitors the performance of underlying managers against appropriate benchmarks, and the Investment
Committee uses its discretion to replace underlying managers who do not meet the Investment Committee's
rigorous standards.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss
Investment strategies. CAPTRUST's investment strategies begin with an understanding of a client's investment
goals and objectives. FAs use demographic and financial information provided by the client to assess the client's
risk profile and investment objectives in determining an appropriate strategy for the client's assets. Investment
strategies generally include long- or short-term purchases of stock portfolios, mutual funds and fixed income
securities and may include margin transactions and options strategies. CAPTRUST utilizes both a risk-based and
outcomes-based approach to asset allocation. The following asset classes are allocated across client portfolios: US
equities, international equities, fixed income, alternative investments, commodities, and real estate.
CAPTRUST FAs may recommend a combination of our risk-based and outcomes-based models managed by
CAPTRUST's Investment Committee. The Investment Committee is composed of members of CAPTRUST's
Investment Group.
Investment Managers. CAPTRUST's Investment Group researches Investment Managers using proprietary
screening and evaluation of registered investment companies (such as mutual funds) and their portfolio managers,
other managed investment vehicles, and SMA Managers. CAPTRUST employs a multi-step process in screening the
Investment Managers to determine if they are suitable for its SMA Programs. Each Investment Manager is
evaluated based on extensive information provided by that Investment Manager, including descriptions of its
investment process, investment strategies employed, operational structure, and its Form ADV, Part 2 and/or its
mutual fund prospectus. CAPTRUST then attempts to verify that information by comparing it to other data from
publicly available data collection sources. During this process, CAPTRUST also employs proprietary technical
quantitative and qualitative analyses.
CAPTRUST also evaluates certain investment strategies including mutual funds, indexes, or other managed
investment vehicles which may be included in an overall asset allocation for Wealth clients. CAPTRUST requests
that Investment Managers adhere to Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) issued by the CFA Institute.
Every attempt is made to obtain performance information which is calculated on a uniform and consistent basis. In
most cases, performance data approved by CAPTRUST for client viewing will have been calculated based on a
uniform and consistent standard. However, some Investment Managers may provide information which does not
entirely conform to these uniform standards. In those instances, the affected performance information will be
specifically identified as having not been calculated based on the uniform standard normally used . CAPTRUST uses
industry standards to measure the performance of the SMA Managers the firm recommends and selects; however,
CAPTRUST does not use a third-party auditor to review and verify the performance of SMA Managers.
Risk of Loss. It is important to note that investing in securities involves certain risks that are borne by the investor.
For any risks associated with registered investment company products, clients should refer to their prospectuses
for additional details about these risks. CAPTRUST investment approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind
These risks include, but are not limited to:

II CAPTRUST
•
Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to change. For example, when
interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less attractive, causing their market value to decline.
• Market Risk: The price of a security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in reaction to tangible and intangible
events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by external factors independent of a security's particular
underlying circumstances. For example, political, economic, and social conditions may trigger market
events.
•
Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will not buy as much as a dollar next year
because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
• Reinvestment Risk: Future proceeds from investments may have to be reinvested at a potentially lower rate
of return (i.e., interest rate) . This primarily relates to fixed income securities.
•
Business Risk: Particular industries or companies within an industry pose business-specific risks. For
example, oil-drilling companies depend on finding oil and then refining it, a lengthy process, before they can
generate a profit. They carry a higher risk of profitability than an electric company, which generates its
income from a steady stream of customers who buy electricity no matter what the economic environment is
like.
•
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash. Generally, assets are more
liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid,
while real estate properties are not. Some funds utilized in strategies employed by CAPTRUST carry liquidity
risk. In some circumstances, clients have had to wait several quarters or longer when requesting liquidity
from the manager of interval funds in PMA model portfolios.
•
Financial Risk: Excessive borrowing to finance a business' operations increases the risk of profitability,
because the company must meet the terms of its obligations in good times and bad. During periods of
financial stress, the inability to meet loan obligations may result in bankruptcy and/or a declining market
value .
• Concentration Risk: The probability of loss due to heavy exposure to a single investment, equity, or issuer.
Some funds utilized in risk-based asset allocation strategies carry a kind of concentration risk because clients
may own more than one fund managed by the same issuer; or clients may be invested in several funds with
similar strategies which poses a type of concentration risk. Another form of concentration risk occurs when
one group of clients comprises a large portion of a mutual fund's total asset base, those investors
experience an additional risk (over and above the risks associated with the investment's strategy) due
directly to the concentration of their assets in that fund . CAPTRUST strategies may involve some or all of the
types of concentration risk described here.
• Other risks: CAPTRUST's recommended strategies include the risks listed above as well as other risks that
are more specifically associated with Investment Managers, strategies, funds, or instruments CAPTRUST
selects or recommends. For example, some recommended Investment Managers use derivatives (such as
options as a hedge) which pose special risks; others carry liquidity risk specific to underlying investments;
additionally, some of CAPTRUST's asset allocated model portfolios have a particular concentration risk
because CAPTRUST may allocate a large portion of a portfolio to a single Investment Manager, or a fund
complex. Some portfolios include alternative (or uncommon) investment strategies, or allocations to funds
with limited or no prior history of operations. Each recommended Investment Manager discloses risks
associated with investing in their fund(s) separately (in their respective brochures and/or prospectuses).
o Although CAPTRUST acknowledges that clients are relying on CAPTRUST to manage portfolio risk,
clients are encouraged to read prospectuses and ask questions of FAs, Portfolio Managers, or

•
Private investment funds: Clients who are qualified to invest in private funds must acknowledge and accept
the specific risk factors that are associated with investing in private funds. Private fund investments involve
various risk factors, including, but not limited to, potential for complete loss of principal, illiquidity, and lack
of transparency.
Item 7: Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers
Under the PMA and WAS Programs, CAPTRUST is both the client's investment adviser and Portfolio Manager.
Therefore, the Portfolio Manager has the same access to client information as CAPTRUST. Client information
includes, among other things, income, net worth, risk tolerance, and investment objectives. A client's Portfolio
Manager uses this information to determine the appropriate asset allocation and to manage client investments.
When a client updates their information with CAPTRUST, the updates are also available to their Portfolio Manager.
Under the SMA Program, CAPTRUST is the client's investment adviser, and the SMA Manager is the client's
Portfolio Manager. SMA Managers do not have the same access to client personal information as CAPTRUST. Client
personal information such as income, net worth, risk tolerance, and investment objectives is not communicated to
SMA Managers but is used by CAPTRUST to determine the appropriate asset allocation and make
recommendations regarding SMA Manager selection.
Item 8: Client Contact with Portfolio Managers
Under the PMA and WAS Programs, the Portfolio Manager is either the client's CAPTRUST FA or the Investment
Committee and there are no specific restrictions on direct client communications with Portfolio Managers. Clients
typically communicate with their CAPTRUST FA, who acts as the relationship manager, and/or the client
management consultant ("CMC"), who acts in a supporting role to the FA. The client is required to inform
CAPTRUST and the FA, at least annually, of any changes to their financial condition or of any additional investment
restrictions and/or modifications to existing investment restrictions the client wishes to impose.
Under the SMA Program, clients generally do not have direct contact with third party SMA Managers. CAPTRUST
will provide initial and ongoing communication with clients regarding selected SMA Managers and will assist clients
in understanding the management style and other information regarding the SMA Managers.
In general, clients are encouraged to direct questions about their portfolio or accounts to their CAPTRUST FA, or to
their CMC. However, clients may direct questions to members of the Investment Committee whose names are
included Form ADV Part 2B, which is incorporated into the Form ADV Part 2 Wealth Brochure.
Item 9: Additional Information
Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events
that would be material to a client or prospective client's evaluation of CAPTRUST or the integrity of CAPTRUST's
management. Neither CAPTRUST's Investment Committee nor its Management Persons have any disciplinary
disclosure required. Each FA who acts as a Portfolio Manager has a separate Form ADV Part 2B. Clients should
refer to their FA's Form ADV Part 2B for personal disciplinary information for that FA.

CAPTRUST is affiliated by common ownership to CapFinancial Securities, LLC ("CFS"), a FINRA broker-dealer
(Member SIPC}. CAPTRUST does not manage any proprietary mutual funds.
CFS, as an affiliated registered broker-dealer, provides general securities investment services to individuals and
institutions. Many investment adviser representatives with Adviser are also registered as CFS registered
representatives. A CAPTRUST FA who focuses primarily on wealth advisory services generally spends less than 10%
of their time on work done for Wealth clients focused on activities consistent with the definition of broker-dealer
activities. A CAPTRUST FA whose focus is institutional clients will generally spend less than 1% of his/her time on
broker-dealer activities.
CAPTRUST divisions called "1776 Advisor Group," "Strategic Advisor Group," and "Family Office Risk Advisors,"
together with several CAPTRUST FAs, are licensed to act as agent of record for clients who own life insurance
products or for retirement plans funded with group variable products. FAs may occasionally recommend fixed or
variable annuities or life insurance (including Private Placement Life Insurance ("PPLI")) to their Wealth clients
when assisting them in executing their financial plan. CFS and CAPTRUST have business entity insurance licenses.
Strategic Advisor Group's primary source of revenue is life insurance commissions not involving CAPTRUST
qualified retirement plan clients.
As a result of certain investment-related recommendations provided to its clients, CFS may facilitate certain
securities purchases and/or sales, or insurance product purchases and/or sales on behalf of CAPTRUST clients.
Such transactions may be facilitated by CFS, in its capacity as a registered broker-dealer or insurance agent/agency
(business entity). Commissions charged by CFS may be higher or lower than obtainable elsewhere.
In 2025, CAPTRUST acquired the assets of Carolinas Wealth Consulting, LLC (CRD: 300003) and their affiliated
broker-dealer, Carolinas Investment Consulting LLC (Charlotte, NC), Cobblestone Capital Advisors, LLC (CRD:

Material Conflicts Regarding Private Funds
CAPTRUST provides investment recommendations and advice regarding both affiliated and non-affiliated private
investment funds. CAPTRUST provides the fund's offering materials at or prior to recommending the investment.
Clients should refer to the fund's confidential offering memorandum for applicable disclosures regarding
management of the fund, its investment objective, risk factors, tax, and related factors. CAPTRUST's activities as
general partner and investment advisor to private funds are disclosed in CAPTRUST's Form ADV Part lA, Section

Fund ("OCredit"). OHA Private Credit Advisors LLC ("OHA Advisor") is the investment adviser to OCredit. OCredit
pays OHA Advisor an incentive fee for serving as its investment manager. As more people invest in OCredit, OHA
Advisor will earn more fees. One Brick Funds will also share in those incentive fees, which creates an incentive for
CAPTRUST to recommend OCredit in order to increase the potential profits eligible to be shared with investors in
the One Brick Funds which include CAPTRUST clients and employees. (Please see Item 6.). One Brick Funds pay
lObps/year in advisory fees to CAPTRUST.

Code of Ethics
CAPTRUST's Code of Ethics addresses, among other things: (i) CAPTRUST's fiduciary obligations to its clients, (ii)
personal securities trading procedures restricting the purchase and sale of specific securities by employees for
their own accounts; (iii) provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information; (iv) prohibitions on insider
trading; (v) limits on political contributions and activities; and (vi) restrictions on the acceptance and giving of
significant gifts and the reporting of certain gifts and business entertainment.
Personal securities transactions by CAPTRUST directors, officers, and employees who : (I) have access to nonpublic
information regarding clients' purchase and sale of securities, (II) are involved in making securities
recommendations to clients, or (Ill) have access to such non-public recommendations are subject to the
restrictions and procedures set forth in CAPTRUST's Code of Ethics. All employees at CAPTRUST must acknowledge
the terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or when amended.
Occasionally, Adviser's employees may recommend that clients buy or sell the same securities or investment
products that Adviser's employees also own. CAPTRUST's employees and persons associated with CAPTRUST are
required to follow the Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics is intended to identify and address potential conflicts of
interest that might arise in the context of personal securities transactions, activities, and interests of CAPTRUST
employees that might interfere or appear to interfere with making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients.
Under the Code of Ethics, certain classes of securities have been designated as exempt transactions, based upon a
determination that they would not materially interfere with the best interest of CAPTRUST's clients. In addition,
the Code of Ethics requires pre-approval of specific types of transactions, and, depending on the transaction, may
restrict trading in close proximity to client trading activity. Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some
circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same securities as clients, there is a possibility that
employees might benefit from market activity by a client. Employee trading is monitored under the Code of Ethics
to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between CAPTRUST and its clients.
CAPTRUST employees whose accounts are managed by CAPTRUST are included in block trading where CAPTRUST
places trades for execution that include accounts of two or more clients and when CAPTRUST believes trade
aggregation is appropriate and in the best interest of its clients. (See "Block Trades" under "Brokerage Practices"

CAPTRUST's clients or prospective clients may request a copy of the Adviser's Code of Ethics by contacting the
Compliance Department at 919.870.6822 or 800.216.0645 or by email at compliance@captrust.com.
Review of Accounts
Client Accounts are advised by the client's FA who is responsible for performing periodic reviews, consulting with
their clients, and staying abreast of changes to their clients' investment goals and objectives. Ongoing reviews of
markets, sectors and individual securities are conducted by the Investment Group. Unaffiliated mutual fund
holdings and outside Investment Managers are monitored on a continuous and regular basis by the CAPTRUST
Investment Group. Michael Vogelzang, Chief Investment Officer, heads the Investment Group. ADV Part 2B (which
is incorporated into the Form ADV Part 2 Wealth Brochure) lists the members of the Investment Group who are
also members of the Investment Committee or who are involved in the review process and in determining the
investment advice to be given by the Adviser. In addition to monthly statements provided by the custodian of the
client's Assets, CAPTRUST prepares quarterly performance reports for Wealth client accounts. Clients may access
their quarterly performance reports electronically via CAPTRUST's client portal. For information on how to access
reports, clients should call their CAPTRUST FA at 919.870.6822 or 800.216.0685 or email
compliance@captrust.com.
CAPTRUST receives a daily download of transaction information from Pershing, Schwab, and Fidelity and has
access to Wealth Client accounts through their institutional advisor platforms. Clients agree to inform CAPTRUST in
writing of any material changes to the Client's IGO or financial situation that might affect the manner with which
client's assets should be invested. Additionally, clients who wish to impose reasonable restrictions on the
management of their accounts may do so by contacting their FA at 800.216.0645 or by email at
compliance@captrust.com.
Clients with portfolios that include private equity and/or other private investments ("private funds") should be
advised that quarterly values lag for up to 60 days following a quarter-end. Because CAPTRUST relies on the client's
capital account statement (provided by the issuer or qualified custodian) for private fund values used for purposes
of quarterly portfolio review/reporting in Black Diamond®, quarterly review reports will reflect the latest valuation
date available. Consequently, a client's actual private fund holdings could be significantly more or less than the
value reflected on the Black Diamond portfolio report. Unless otherwise indicated, the client's advisory fee will be
based upon the value reflected in Black Diamond®. Clients may contact CAPTRUST during normal business hours to
consult with CAPTRUST concerning the management of the client's accounts.
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Clients (or prospective clients) who are being referred to CAPTRUST, either by means of a paid "endorsement'' by a
third-party or in connection with a paid "testimonial" by a current client, must be made aware of the arrangement
at the time the testimonial or endorsement is disseminated in a clear and prominent manner. The disclosure of the
arrangement must explain whether the testimonial was given by a current client or investor; or if the endorsement
was given by a person other than a current client or investor; explain whether cash or non-cash compensation was
provided for the testimonial or endorsement; and if applicable, include brief statement of any material conflicts of
interest on the part of the person giving the testimonial or endorsement resulting from the investment adviser's
relationship with such person. In cases where a referral takes place in person, these required disclosures will be
delivered in writing at the time the testimonial or endorsement is being made.
CAPTRUST, has entered into referral agreements with various third-party solicitors ("Solicitors") for client referrals.
For a Solicitor to be compensated by CAPTRUST for referring a client to CAPTRUST, the Solicitor must be engaged
by CAPTRUST under a Solicitor or Referral Agreement (a "Referral Agreement") in compliance with Section 206(4)-
1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. In general, a Solicitor is compensated by a percentage of the advisory fee

Schwab Advisor Network®
CAPTRUST receives client referrals from Schwab through the Schwab Advisor Network® (the "Service"). The Service
is designed to help investors find an independent investment advisor. Schwab is a broker-dealer independent of
and unaffiliated with CAPTRUST. Schwab does not supervise CAPTRUST and has no responsibility for CAPTRUST's
management of clients' portfolios or CAPTRUST's other advice or services. CAPTRUST pays Schwab fees to receive
client referrals through the Service . CAPTRUST's participation in the Service may raise potential conflicts of interest
described below.
CAPTRUST pays Schwab a participation fee on all referred client accounts that are maintained at Schwab and a
non-Schwab custody fee on all accounts that are maintained at, or transferred to, another custodian. The
participation fee is a percentage of the advisory fees charged by CAPTRUST or a percentage of the value of the
assets in the client's account, subject to a minimum Participation Fee. CAPTRUST pays Schwab the participation fee
for so long as the referred client's account remains in custody at Schwab. The participation fee is billed to
CAPTRUST quarterly and may be increased, decreased, or be waived by Schwab from time to time . The
participation fee is paid by CAPTRUST and not by the client. CAPTRUST has agreed not to charge clients referred
through the Service fees or costs greater than the fees or costs CAPTRUST charges clients with similar portfolios
who were not referred through the Service.
CAPTRUST generally pays a one-time non-Schwab custody fee, equal to a percentage of the assets maintained
outside of Schwab, if custody of a referred client's account is not maintained by, or assets in the account are
transferred from Schwab. This fee does not apply if the client was solely responsible for the decision not to
maintain custody at Schwab, the non-Schwab custody fee is higher than the participation fees CAPTRUST generally
would pay in a single year . Thus, CAPTRUST will have an incentive to recommend that client accounts be held in
custody at Schwab.
The participation and non-Schwab custody fees will be based on assets in accounts of CAPTRUST's clients who
were referred by Schwab and those referred clients' family members living in the same household . Thus,
CAPTRUST will have incentives to encourage household members of clients referred through the Service to
maintain custody of their accounts and execute transactions at Schwab and to instruct Schwab to debit
CAPTRUST's fees directly from the accounts.
For accounts of CAPTRUST's clients maintained in custody at Schwab, Schwab will not charge the client separately
for custody but will receive compensation from CAPTRUST's clients in the form of commission or other transaction
related compensation on securities trades executed through Schwab. Schwab will also receive a fee (generally
lower than the applicable commission on trades it executes) for clearance and settlement of trades executed
through broker-dealers other than Schwab. Schwab's fees for trades executed at other broker-dealers are in
addition to the other broker-dealer's fees. Thus, CAPTRUST may have an incentive to cause trades to be executed
through Schwab rather than another broker-dealer. CAPTRUST nevertheless acknowledges its duty to seek best
execution of trades for client accounts. Trades for client accounts held in custody at Schwab may be executed
through a different broker-dealer than trades for CAPTRUST's other clients. Thus, trades for accounts custodied at
Schwab may be executed at different times and different prices than trades for other accounts that are executed
at other broker-dealers.

II CAPTRUST
CAPTRUST participates in the Fidelity Wealth Advisor Solutions® Program (the "WAS Program"), through which
CAPTRUST receives referrals from Fidelity Personal and Workplace Advisors LLC (FPWA), a registered investment
adviser and Fidelity Investments company. CAPTRUST is independent and not affiliated with FPWA or any Fidelity
Investments company. FPWA does not supervise or control CAPTRUST and FPWA has no responsibility or oversight
for CAPTRUST's provision of investment management or other advisory services.
Under the WAS Program, FPWA acts as a solicitor for CAPTRUST in exchange for referral fees for each referral
received. Fee is based on CAPTRUST's assets under management attributable to each referred client or client's
household member. The WAS Program helps investors find an independent investment advisor, and any referral
from FPWA to CAPTRUST does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement by FPWA. More specifically,
CAPTRUST pays the following amounts to FPWA for referrals: the sum of (i) an annual percentage of 0.10% of any
and all assets in client accounts where such assets are identified as "fixed income" assets by FPWA and (ii) an
annual percentage of 0.25% of all other assets held in client accounts. In addition, CAPTRUST has agreed to pay
FPWA a minimum annual fee amount in connection with its participation in the WAS Program. These referral fees
are paid by CAPTRUST and not the client.
To receive referrals from the WAS Program, CAPTRUST must meet certain minimum participation criteria, but
CAPTRUST may have been selected for participation in the WAS Program because of its other business
relationships with FPWA and its affiliates, including Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC ("FBS"). As a result of its
participation in the WAS Program, CAPTRUST may have a potential conflict of interest with respect to its decision
to use certain affiliates of FPWA, including FBS, for execution, custody and clearing for certain client accounts, and
CAPTRUST may have a potential incentive to suggest the use of FBS and its affiliates to its advisory clients, whether
or not those clients were referred to CAPTRUST as part of the WAS Program. Under an agreement with FPWA,
CAPTRUST has agreed that Adviser will not charge clients more than the standard range of advisory fees disclosed
in its brochure to cover solicitation fees paid to FPWA as part of the WAS Program. Pursuant to these
arrangements, CAPTRUST has agreed not to solicit clients to transfer their brokerage accounts from affiliates of
FPWA or establish brokerage accounts at other custodians for referred clients other than when CAPTRUST's
fiduciary duties would so require, and CAPTRUST has agreed to pay FPWA a one-time fee equal to 0.75% of the
assets in a client account that is transferred from FPWA's affiliates to another custodian; therefore, CAPTRUST may
have an incentive to suggest that referred clients and their household members maintain custody of their accounts
with affiliates of FPWA. However, participation in the WAS Program does not limit CAPTRUST's duty to select
brokers on the basis of best execution.
Financial Information
Registered Investment Advisers are required to provide clients with certain financial information or disclosures
about CAPTRUST's financial condition. CAPTRUST has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet
contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients and has not been the subject of any bankruptcy proceeding.
