Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
CharMarLine Wealth Management LLC (“CharMarLine” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. CharMarLine was founded in April 2025 and is owned and operated by
Geoffrey Sirhal (Chief Compliance Officer). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the
qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by CharMarLine.
B. Advisory Services Offered
CharMarLine offers investment advisory services to individuals and high net worth individuals (each referred to as a
“Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary,
the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. CharMarLine's fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For
more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in
Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Wealth Management Services
The Advisor provides customized wealth management services for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous
personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary and non-discretionary investment management
services and a broad range of comprehensive financial planning. These services are listed below.
Investment Management Services - CharMarLine provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients.
This is achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary
investment management and related advisory services. CharMarLine works closely with each Client to identify their
investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio
strategy. CharMarLine will then construct an investment portfolio, consisting of low-cost, diversified mutual funds
and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize
individual stocks, bonds or options contracts to meet the needs of its Clients. The Advisor may retain other types of
investments from the Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or
other reasons as identified between the Advisor and the Client.
CharMarLine’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate
positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market
conditions. CharMarLine will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives,
circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable
restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Advisor.
CharMarLine evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. CharMarLine may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the
portfolio. CharMarLine may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor
may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement.
CharMarLine may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital
gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or
overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet
Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
At no time will CharMarLine accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited
authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the
Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
CharMarLine Wealth Management LLC

Phone: 434-455-3036
Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement
accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will
provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the
assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to
another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account
to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or
increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a
retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
Financial Planning Services - CharMarLine will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting
services to Clients as part of its wealth management services. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s
financial situation, depending on their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve
preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals
and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to,
investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings and other areas of a Client’s
financial situation.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.
CharMarLine may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique
situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s
financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may
not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of contract date,
assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for
investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would
increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any
recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to
act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the
transaction through the Advisor.
Selection of Other Advisors
CharMarLine may periodically recommend and refer Clients to unaffiliated money managers or investment advisors
at CharMarLine's discretion or Client's request. Through this arrangement, the Client may then enter into an
advisory agreement with that unaffiliated money managers or investment advisors to which that unaffiliated money
managers or investment advisors will assist and advise the Client in establishing investment objectives and develop
an investment strategy to meet those objectives by identifying appropriate investments and monitoring such
investments. In consideration for such services, the unaffiliated money managers or investment advisors will
receive an investment advisory fee, billed based on the fee schedule the Client establishes with the unaffiliated
money manager[s] or investment advisor[s].
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging CharMarLine to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or
more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor
and the Client. These services may include:
● Establishing an Investment Strategy – CharMarLine, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy
that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
CharMarLine Wealth Management LLC
3831 Old Forest Road, Lynchburg, VA 24501
Phone: 434-455-3036
● Asset Allocation – CharMarLine will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
● Portfolio Construction – CharMarLine will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the
stated goals and objectives of the Client.
●
Investment Management and Supervision – CharMarLine will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
CharMarLine does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services
are provided directly by CharMarLine.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025 CharMarLine manages $118,804,541 in Client assets, $117,930,977 of which are
managed on a discretionary basis and $873,564 on a non-discretionary basis. Clients may request more current
information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into a written
agreement with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly, in arrears of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the
investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the market value of assets under
management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Investment advisory fees are based on the following
schedule:
Annual Rate (%)
Assets Under Management ($)
$0 to $1,000,00
$1,000,001 to $2,000,000
$2,000,001 to $5,000,000
$5,000,001 plus
1.00%
0.75%
0.60%
Negotiable
CharMarLine generally requires a minimum fee of $5,000. Certain clients will be subject to a legacy fee schedule
that differs from the one above.
The investment advisory fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the
end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into
consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed
by CharMarLine will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the
Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and
other related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the
Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management Services
Investment advisory fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at
the Custodian. The amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total
assets under management with CharMarLine at the end of each quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement,
CharMarLine Wealth Management LLC
3831 Old Forest Road, Lynchburg, VA 24501
Phone: 434-455-3036
at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the investment advisory fee. Clients are urged to also
review and compare the statement provided by the Advisor to the brokerage statement from the Custodian, as the
Custodian does not perform a verification of fees. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to
be deducted by CharMarLine to be paid directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the
investment advisory agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than CharMarLine, in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and securities
execution fees charged by the Custodian, as applicable. The Advisor's recommended Custodian does not charge
securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in a Client's account, provided that the account meets the
terms and conditions of the Custodian's brokerage requirements. However, the Custodian typically charges for
mutual funds and other types of investments. The fees charged by CharMarLine are separate and distinct from
these custody and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to CharMarLine for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the
expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are
described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for
the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a
possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of
CharMarLine, but would not receive the services provided by CharMarLine which are designed, among other
things, to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial
situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees
charged by CharMarLine to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
for additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Wealth Management Services
CharMarLine may be compensated for its investment management services at the end of the quarter after services
are rendered. Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance
written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment advisory agreement within five (5)
business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will
incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and
payable by the Client. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the
Client’s prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
CharMarLine does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for
securities transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
CharMarLine does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by
CharMarLine are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or
securities held by any Client.
CharMarLine does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual
fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
CharMarLine offers investment advisory services to individuals and high net worth individuals. CharMarLine
generally does not impose a minimum relationship size, but does generally impose a minimum fee of $5,000.

Phone: 434-455-3036
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
CharMarLine primarily employs a fundamental analysis method in developing investment strategies for its Clients.
Research and analysis from CharMarLine are derived from numerous sources, including financial media
companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities, including annual
reports, prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. These criteria
consists generally of ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being
analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment with
a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment,
it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in
the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors
these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the
Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
As noted above, CharMarLine generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with
their financial goals. CharMarLine will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year, but may hold
for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times,
CharMarLine may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the
Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. CharMarLine will assist Clients in determining an appropriate
strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a
Client will meet their investment goals. Please see Item 8.B. for risks associated with the Advisor’s investment
strategies as well as general risks of investing.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the
investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may
lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to
determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are
included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client
or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals or
other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts.
The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction
process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
CharMarLine Wealth Management LLC
3831 Old Forest Road, Lynchburg, VA 24501
Phone: 434-455-3036
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk
based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs has a large bid-
ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may
dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased
or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the
mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual
fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same
price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Alternative Investments (Limited Partnerships)
The performance of alternative investments (limited partnerships) can be volatile and may have limited liquidity. An
investor could lose all or a portion of their investment. Such investments often have concentrated positions and
investments that may carry higher risks. Client should only have a portion of their assets in these investments.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve
a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss
these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving CharMarLine or its owner. CharMarLine values
the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite due diligence on any
advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor or Advisory Persons are
available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the
Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 336719.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
The sole business of CharMarLine and Geoff Sirhal is to provide investment advisory services to its Clients. Neither
CharMarLine nor its Advisory Persons are involved in other business endeavors. CharMarLine does not maintain
any affiliations with other firms, other than contracted service providers to assist with the servicing of its Client’s
accounts.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
CharMarLine has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to
each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with CharMarLine (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was
developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to each
Client. CharMarLine and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client.
It is the obligation of CharMarLine’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code,
but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address employee
ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at 434-455-3036.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
CharMarLine allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. CharMarLine does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor
does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. CharMarLine does not have a
material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
CharMarLine Wealth Management LLC
3831 Old Forest Road, Lynchburg, VA 24501
Phone: 434-455-3036
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
CharMarLine allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients
presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and
procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public
information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When
trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The
fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more
advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is
mitigated by conducting a coordinated review of personal accounts and the accounts of the Clients. The Advisor
has also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While CharMarLine allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended
to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded afterwards.
At no time will CharMarLine, or any Supervised Person of CharMarLine, transact in any security to the
detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
CharMarLine does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and execution
services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client assets
and authorize CharMarLine to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement.
Further, CharMarLine does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a
trade-by-trade basis.
Where CharMarLine does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the
Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the Custodian
recommended by the Advisor and will not incur any extra fee or cost associated with using a custodian not
recommended by CharMarLine. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the
recommended Custodian is not engaged. CharMarLine may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as,
but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, and
its reputation and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices.
The Advisor will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
(“Schwab”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Schwab will serve as the Client’s “qualified
custodian”. The Advisor maintains an institutional relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives economic
benefits. Please see Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation below.
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor
enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and
other services. CharMarLine does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any
broker-dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian.
Please see Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - CharMarLine does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with
the recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where CharMarLine will place
trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are
traded within their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any

Phone: 434-455-3036
security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a
security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). CharMarLine will not be obligated to select
competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction
costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution,
4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. CharMarLine will execute its transactions through the
Custodian as authorized by the Client. CharMarLine may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when
securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading
day. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold
by the close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or
other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any
particular Clients’ accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Geoff Sirhal, Chief Compliance
Officer of CharMarLine. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently depending on
the needs of the Client.
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result
of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or
withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify CharMarLine if changes occur in the
Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews may
be triggered by material market, economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the
Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may also
provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by CharMarLine
CharMarLine is a fee-based advisory firm, that is compensated solely by its Clients and not from any investment
product. CharMarLine does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker-dealers
or any un-related third party. CharMarLine may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g.
attorneys, accountants, estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its
Clients. Likewise, CharMarLine may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
The Advisor has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a
division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like the Advisor. As a registered investment
advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, the Advisor receives access to software and related
support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that maintain assets
at Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor and many, but not all services provided
by Schwab will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests
CharMarLine Wealth Management LLC
3831 Old Forest Road, Lynchburg, VA 24501
Phone: 434-455-3036
of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a custodian creates
a conflict of interest since these benefits can influence the Advisor's recommendation of Schwab over a custodian
that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of
investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through
Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be able
to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds and
other investments without having to adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the Client were to
directly access the investments.
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to technology,
research, discounts and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for Client accounts,
the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back-office support services as part of its relationship with
Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for its Clients, but may
not directly benefit all Clients.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services to the Advisor that may not benefit
the Client, including: educational conferences and events, consulting services and discounts for various service
providers. Access to these services creates a financial incentive for the Advisor to recommend Schwab, which results
in a potential conflict of interest. The Advisor believes, however, that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the
best interests of its Clients.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for
Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
The Advisor is authorized to deduct its fees from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Client must place all
assets with a “qualified custodian”. The Client is required to engage the Custodian to retain all funds and securities
and direct the Advisor to utilize that Custodian for security transactions in the account[s]. The Client should review
statements provided by the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For more information about
custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
CharMarLine generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client
accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be
subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to
by CharMarLine. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of
such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory agreement containing all
applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by CharMarLine will be in accordance with
each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
CharMarLine does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements
directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client
retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither CharMarLine, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the
ability of CharMarLine to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither CharMarLine, nor any of its Advisory Persons,

have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. CharMarLine is not required to deliver a balance sheet
along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $500 or more for services to be
performed six months or more in the future.
