INTRODUCTION:
Corps Capital Advisors, LLC (“Corps Capital” or the “Advisor”) is a Registered Investment Advisor with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor conducts business in Texas and other
states. The oral and written communications we provide you, including this Disclosure Brochure, is
information you can use to evaluate us and other advisors, which are factors in your decision to hire us or to
continue to maintain a mutually beneficial relationship. This Disclosure Brochure provides information about
the Advisor’s business practices.
OWNERSHIP:
Corps Capital is organized as a limited liability company (“LLC”) under the laws of the State of Texas. Corps
Capital was founded in June 2018. Corps Capital became a registered investment advisor in July 2019.
Corps Capital is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Corps Capital Partners, LLC. Mingo Private Investments LLC
is the primary owner of Corps Capital Partners, LLC. Thomas Morgan, Jr. is the Managing Member of Mingo
Private Investments and the Managing Member and Chief Compliance Officer of Corps Capital Advisors,
LLC.
ADVISORY SERVICES OFFERED:
Corps Capital offers the following investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts,
estates, charitable organizations, businesses and pooled investment vehicles (each herein 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. Corps Capital'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.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES:
Corps Capital provides customized investment management services to Clients on a discretionary and non-
discretionary basis. The Advisor’s investment management service is designed to provide Clients with the
appropriate diversification and risk characteristics consistent with prudent portfolio management. The
Advisor creates, implements, and monitors Client customized portfolio based upon their investment
objectives, risk tolerance, net worth, net income, age, investment time horizon, liquidity needs, tax situation
and other various suitability factors. 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.
Investment management services are tailored to a Client’s specific goals, objectives and risk tolerance.
Specific investment recommendations will depend on these factors. Our service constitutes an ongoing
process by which:
● Client investment objectives, constraints and preferences are identified and
specified;
Investment strategies are recommended and implemented;
●
● Capital market conditions and Client circumstances are monitored; and
● Portfolio adjustments are made as appropriate to reflect significant changes to
any or all of the above relevant variables.
Corps Capital will construct an investment portfolio for the Client, consisting of exchange-traded funds
(“ETFs”), individual equity securities, individual fixed income securities, mutual funds, and private investments.
The Advisor may also utilize options contracts and other types of investments, as appropriate, to meet the
needs of the Client. The Advisor will retain certain legacy investments based on portfolio fit and/or tax
considerations. Corps Capital may recommend utilizing one or more unaffiliated money managers or
investment platforms (each an “Independent Manager”) to obtain expertise in specific investment areas.
Corps Capital’s investment approach is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor will 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. Corps Capital 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.
Under certain circumstances, the Advisor will accept or maintain custody of Client’s funds or securities. Please
see Item 15 – Custody for more information. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at
the Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the investment management agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage
Practices.
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 CONSULTING SERVICES: The Advisor’s financial consulting services will typically involve
recommendations made to the Client based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. Financial planning
consultations are not typically accompanied by a written summary of observations and recommendations, as
the Advisor’s process is less formal. Financial consulting may encompass investment and non-investment
related matters, including, but not limited to, estate planning, tax planning and insurance needs.
Corps Capital, when appropriate, will recommend the services of other non-advisory professionals for
implementation purposes (i.e., attorneys, accountants, brokers, insurance agents, etc.). The Client is under no
obligation to engage the services of any such recommended professional. The Client retains absolute discretion
over all such implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject any recommendation from Corps Capital
or its Advisory Persons.
Additionally, it remains the Client’s responsibility to promptly notify Corps Capital if there is ever any change in
their financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating or revising Corps
Capital’s previous recommendations and/or services. If Corps Capital has been engaged to provide non-
discretionary consulting services relative to the Client's other unaffiliated investment professionals, including
investment assets for which Corps Capital does not maintain any trading authority (the “Excluded Assets”), the
Client and/or the Client's other investment professionals/advisors that maintain trading authority, and not Corps
Capital, shall be, and remain, exclusively responsible for the investment performance of the Excluded Assets.
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.
PRIVATE FUND ADVISOR SERVICES
The Advisor provides portfolio management services to Corps Capital Income Fund I, LLC and Corps Capital
Diversified Income Fund, pooled investment vehicles (herein the “Funds”). These services are detailed in the
offering documents for the Funds, which include as applicable, operating agreements, private placement
memorandum and/or term sheets, subscription agreements, separate disclosure documents, and all amendments
thereto (“Offering Documents”).
The Advisor manages the Funds based on the investment objectives, policies and guidelines as set forth in the
respective Offering Documents and not in accordance with the individual needs or objectives of any particular
investor therein. Each prospective investor interested in investing in the Funds is required to complete a
subscription agreement in which the prospective investor attests as to whether or not such prospective investor
meets the qualifications to invest in the Funds and further acknowledges and accepts the various risk factors
associated with such an investment.
In general, investors in the Funds are not permitted to impose restrictions or limitations. However, the Advisor may
enter into side letter agreements with one or more investors that may alter, modify, or change the terms of interest
held by investors. Certain types of side letters creates a conflict of interest among the Advisor and investors, and/or
between investors themselves.
Please note, the Advisor is affiliated and under common control with Corps Capital Fund Management, LLC, the
General Partner for Corps Capital Income Fund I and Corps Capital BDC, LLC (General Partners). Due to the
affiliation, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend investments in the Funds as owners may benefit
financially in their individual capacity through the receipt of additional revenue. Additionally, the General Partners
charge performance-based fees. Please see Item 10 below for additional information
For more detailed information on investment objectives, policies and guidelines, please refer to the
Fund’s Offering Documents.
Wrap Programs
Corps Capital does not manage or offer a wrap fee program. However, we may refer suitable Clients to an
Independent Manager that may offer its investment management services through wrap fee structure.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, Corps Capital manages approximately $147,808,295 in Client assets, $104,759,173
of which are managed on a discretionary basis and $43,049,122 on a non-discretionary basis. Clients may
request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 Fees and Compensation
Prior to engaging Corps Capital to provide advisory services, the Client will be required to enter into a written
Investment Management Agreement or Financial Consulting Agreement with Corps Capital setting forth the
terms and conditions and the fees under which we will render our services. All fees are subject to negotiation
under certain circumstances and at the sole discretion of Corps Capital. The following schedule of fees
outlines the typical fee structure under which we render our services. The actual schedule of fees, as it applies
to a particular Client, will be clearly outlined in the Client Agreement.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES:
Corps Capital’s annual fee for investment management services are paid quarterly, in advance, pursuant to
the terms of the investment management agreement. Investment management fees are based on the
market value of assets under management at the end of the prior quarter. Investment management fees are
based on the follow schedule:
Assets Under Management
($)
Annual Rate
(%)
$0-$5,000,000
$5,000,000 - $10,000,000
$10,000,000 - $25,000,000
$25,000,000+
1.50%
1.25%
1.00%
Negotiable
The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor.
Alternatively, the Advisor may offer our investment management services on a flat fee basis. Fees may be
negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The specific methodology, fees and frequency of the fee
calculation and deduction, will be set forth in the Investment Management Agreement. The Advisor will conduct
periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuations to ensure accurate billing.
The investment management fee in the first billing period of service is prorated from the inception date of the
account[s] to the end of the quarter. All securities held in accounts managed by Corps Capital will be
independently valued by the Custodian. Corps Capital will not have the authority or responsibility to value
portfolio securities. The amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to
the total assets under management with Corps Capital at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be provided
with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the investment advisory fee. It
is the responsibility of the Client to verify the accuracy of these fees as listed on the Custodian’s brokerage
statement as the Custodian does not assume this responsibility. Clients provide written authorization
permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Corps Capital to be paid directly from their account[s] held by the
Custodian as part of the investment management agreement and separate account forms provided by the
Custodian.
TERMINATION
Corps Capital may be compensated for its services in advance of the quarter in which investment management
services are rendered. Either party may terminate the investment management agreement, at any time, by
providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment management
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 management services rendered to the point of
termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. The Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid
investment management fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s
investment management agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
FINANCIAL CONSULTING SERVICE FEES:
Corps Capital provides standalone financial consulting services at an hourly rate ranging from $500 to $1,000,
depending upon the level and scope of the service[s] required and the professional[s] rendering the service[s].
Our financial consulting fee is payable upon completion of the agreed upon consulting services.
TERMINATION:
Either party may terminate the Financial Consulting Agreement by providing advance written notice to the
other party. Upon termination, the Client shall be billed for actual hours logged on the project times the
contractual hourly rate.
PRIVATE FUND ADVISOR SERVICES
The Advisor will receive an annual management fee of up to 2.00% of the total aggregate capital contributions
of the investors. Billing arrangements are defined in the Fund’s Private Placement Memorandum, and further
delineated in the executed Client Agreement for the Fund.
ADDITIONAL TYPES OF FEES OR EXPENSES:
Client’s will incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Corps Capital in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Clients’ account[s]. The Client is responsible for all securities execution
and custody fees charged by the Custodian, if applicable. The Advisor's recommended Custodian does not
charge securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in Client accounts, provided that the Client’s
accounts meet the terms and conditions of the Custodian’s brokerage requirements. However the Custodian
typically charges for mutual funds and other types of investments.
Investors in the Funds will incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, in connection with investments
made on behalf of the Funds. The Funds [and indirectly investors] are responsible for all custody and securities
execution fees charged by the Custodian and executing broker-dealer, if applicable. The fees charged by
underlying investments are also indirectly included in the value of an Investor’s account.
Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a
fund’s prospectus. Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to our fee, and we
shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs. We do not accept compensation for the
sale of securities or other investment products including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the
sale of mutual funds.
Item 6 Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Corps Capital does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged
by Corps Capital are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds
or securities held by any Client.
Corps Capital does manage a proprietary investment fund, as noted in Item 4, and has a financial incentive to
recommend an investment in the Fund to its Clients. The Advisor seeks to mitigate these conflicts through
disclosures in this Disclosure Brochure; additional disclosures in the applicable Offering Documents, as well as
through the Advisor’s Code of Ethics and policies and procedures contained in the Compliance Manual.
Item 7 Types of Clients
Client Base:
Corps Capital offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
charitable organizations, pooled investment vehicles and businesses. The amount of each type of Client is
available on Corp’s Capital’s Form ADV Part 1. These amounts may change over time and are updated at least
annually by the Advisor.
Generally, the investors in the Funds meet the definition of “accredited investor as defined in the Securities Act.
The various requirements for investing in a Funds, including the minimum investment size, are set forth in each
Fund’s Offering Documents. The Advisor has the ability, in its sole discretion, to permit commitments below the
minimum amounts set forth in the Offering Documents.

the Client has been known, overall composition of the Client’s account[s], multiple accounts held with the Advisor,
etc., at the sole discretion of the Advisor.
Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis & Investment Strategies:
Corps Capital will utilize fundamental and technical analysis methods in developing investment strategies
for its Clients. Research and analysis 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. This 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. Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company
data in determining the recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts to
identify market patterns and trends, which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of
the company. The primary risk in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to
predict such trends in the future. Even if the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that Corps
Capital will be able to accurately predict such a reoccurrence.
Methods of analysis each have their own inherent risks. To perform an accurate market analysis the Advisor
must have access to current/new market information. The Advisor has no control over the dissemination rate of
market information; therefore, unbeknownst to the Advisor, certain analyses may be compiled with stale
information, severely limiting the value of the Advisor’s analysis. Furthermore, an accurate market analysis can
only produce a forecast of the direction of market values. There can be no assurances that a forecasted change
in market value will materialize into actionable and/or profitable investment opportunities.
Risk of Loss:
Corps Capital does not represent, warrant, or imply that the services or methods of analysis employed by the
Advisor can or will predict future results. PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS.
Inherent in any investment is the potential for loss as well as profit. Investment value will fluctuate, and shares,
when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. Clients should make every effort to understand
the risks involved.
Risks of Investing include, but are not limited to:
General Risks: Investments with us are not a deposit of a bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Accordingly, you may lose money
by investing with us. When investments are sold, they may be worth less than initial amount paid because the
value of investments will fluctuate reflecting day-to-day changes in market conditions, interest rates and a
number of other factors.
Market Risk: Stock and bond markets often trade in random price patterns, and prices can fall over sustained
periods of time. The value of the investments will fluctuate as the financial markets fluctuate. This could result
in your account value[s] declining over short or long term periods of time.
Equity Risk: Investments will be subjected to the risk that stock prices may fall over short or extended periods
of time. Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles, and the value of equity securities in any portfolio
may fluctuate drastically from day to day. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively
affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such
companies may suffer a decline in response. These factors will contribute to the volatility and risk of your
assets.
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.
Interest Rate Risk: Investments are subject to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of
a security will decline because of a change in general interest rates. Investments subject to interest rate risk
will usually decrease in value when interest rates rise. For example, fixed-income securities with long
maturities typically experience a more pronounced change in value when interest rates change, specifically
when rates rise losses are greater.
Credit Risk: Your fixed income investments are subject to credit risk. A fixed income investments credit
quality depends on its ability to pay interest on and repay its debt and other obligations.
Frequent Trading: Frequent trading in securities can result in higher transaction costs in the Client’s
account[s]. For taxable accounts, frequent trading can also result in taxable transactions each year that
would not be present in a buy-and-hold strategy. There are no guarantees that a frequent trading strategy
will correctly time purchases and sales of any particular security.
Junk Bond/High-Yield Security Risk: Investing assets in Junk Bonds or High-Yield, lower rated securities.
Investments in fixed-income securities that are rated below Investment grade can be subject to greater risk of loss
of principal and interest than investments in higher-rated fixed-income securities. The market for high yield
securities may be less liquid than the market for higher-rated securities. High yield securities are also generally
considered to be subject to greater market risk than higher-rated securities. The capacity of issuers of high yield
securities to pay interest and repay principal is more likely to weaken than is that of issuers of higher-rated
securities in times of deteriorating economic conditions or rising interest rates.
Options Contracts: Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of time.
Option contracts are leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single contract to control many shares of an
underlying stock. This leverage can compound gains or losses.
Inflation Risk: This is the risk that the value of assets or income will be worth less in the future because
inflation decreases the value of your money. As inflation increases, the value (purchasing power) of your assets
can decline. This risk increases as we invest a greater portion of your assets in fixed-income securities with
longer maturities.
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk exists when particular investments have light trading volume and can be difficult
to trade, possibly preventing us from selling out of these illiquid securities at an advantageous price.
Private Collective Investment Vehicles: The Advisor recommends that certain clients invest in privately
placed collective investment vehicles (e.g., hedge funds, private equity funds, etc.). The managers of these
vehicles have broad discretion in selecting the investments. There are few limitations on the types of securities
or other financial instruments that may be traded and no requirement to diversify. Hedge funds may trade on
margin or otherwise leverage positions, thereby potentially increasing the risk to the vehicle. In addition,
because the vehicles are not registered as investment companies, they are much less regulated than
investment companies. There are numerous other risks in investing in these securities. Clients should consult
each fund’s private placement memorandum and/or other documents explaining such risks prior to investing.
Item 9 Disciplinary Information
Registered Investment advisors are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary
events that would be material to the evaluation of our firm or the integrity of our management.
Corps Capital and its owner have legal or disciplinary events requiring disclosure. The confidence and trust of
Clients is something the Advisor values and strives to protect. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the
requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor
and its Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at
www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or IARD# 304643.
Item 10
Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Corps Capital Fund Management, LLC
As noted in Item 4 - The Advisor is affiliated and under common control with the General Partner of the Fund.
Due to the affiliation, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend investments in the Fund as owners may benefit
financially in their individual capacity through the receipt of additional revenue. The conflict is mitigated by an
internal policy mandating that the Advisor will not charge a separate investment advisory fee for the
management of the assets placed in the Fund. Additionally, there is no requirement for the Advisor to
recommend this Fund to Clients, nor are Clients obligated to invest in the Fund.
Prior to recommending an investment in the Fund, the Advisor will conduct appropriate due diligence to ensure
any recommendation to a Client to invest into the Fund aligns with the Client’s investment needs and objectives.
In addition, the Advisor will provide additional disclosure information to each Client, which will include relevant
details regarding material financial interests and compensation surrounding the Fund. Finally, there is no
requirement for the Advisor to recommend these products to Clients, nor are Clients obligated to invest into
these products.
As noted in Item 4 above, the General Partner charges a performance-based fee to the Fund. The amount of the
performance-based fee and how it is calculated varies is fully disclosed in the Fund’s Offering Documents.
Investors should understand that the receipt of performance-based fees creates a conflict of interest as ultimately
the Advisor has the potential to receive higher compensation. Performance-based fees creates an incentive for
the Advisor to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than might otherwise be the case in the
absence of such arrangement. Additionally, the Advisor is incentivized to favor and devote more time and effort
to managing investments when there is a potential for receipt of performance-based compensation.
Corps Capital BDC, LLC
As noted in Item 4 - The Advisor is affiliated and under common control with the General Partner of the Fund.
Due to the affiliation, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend investments in the Fund as owners may benefit
financially in their individual capacity through the receipt of additional revenue. The conflict is mitigated by an
internal policy mandating that the Advisor will not charge a separate investment advisory fee for the
management of the assets placed in the Fund. Additionally, there is no requirement for the Advisor to
recommend this Fund to Clients, nor are Clients obligated to invest in the Fund.
Prior to recommending an investment in the Fund, the Advisor will conduct appropriate due diligence to ensure
any recommendation to a Client to invest into the Fund aligns with the Client’s investment needs and objectives.
In addition, the Advisor will provide additional disclosure information to each Client, which will include relevant
details regarding material financial interests and compensation surrounding the Fund. Finally, there is no
requirement for the Advisor to recommend these products to Clients, nor are Clients obligated to invest into
these products.
As noted in Item 4 above, the General Partner charges a performance-based fee to the Fund. The amount of the
performance-based fee and how it is calculated varies is fully disclosed in the Fund’s Offering Documents.
Investors should understand that the receipt of performance-based fees creates a conflict of interest as ultimately
the Advisor has the potential to receive higher compensation. Performance-based fees creates an incentive for
the Advisor to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than might otherwise be the case in the
absence of such arrangement. Additionally, the Advisor is incentivized to favor and devote more time and effort
to managing investments when there is a potential for receipt of performance-based compensation.
Item 11 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal
Trading
A. Code of Ethics:
Corps Capital 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 Corps Capital (“Supervised
Persons”). The Code was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions
regarding the Advisor’s duties to the Client. Corps Capital and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of
loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of Corps Capital’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 (214) 452-2300
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Corps Capital allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be
recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Corps Capital 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. Corps Capital does not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients Corps Capital 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 Corps Capital requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for
review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate The Advisor has also adopted written policies
and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While Corps Capital allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be
recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client
orders or traded afterward. At no time will Corps Capital or any Supervised Person of Corps Capital
transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 Brokerage Practices
Brokerage Selection:
Corps Capital 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 Corps Capital to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment
advisory agreement. Further, Corps Capital does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions
on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where Corps Capital does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the
Custodian[s] to Clients, for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended
Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost associated with using a custodian not recommended by the
Advisor. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is
not engaged. Corps Capital 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 the Advisor,
financial strength, reputation and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices.
Corps Capital will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] with Fidelity Clearing &
Custody Solutions and related entities of Fidelity Investments, Inc. (collectively “Fidelity”), a FINRA-
registered broker-dealer and members of SIPC. Fidelity will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian.”
Corps Capital maintains an institutional relationship with Fidelity whereby the Advisor receives economic
benefits from the Custodian. Please see Item 14 – below.
Brokerage for Client Referrals:
We do not receive Client referrals from a broker-dealer, custodian or other third party when recommending
Clients to such firms for the execution of securities transactions.
Directed Brokerage:
All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where Corps Capital, will place trades within the
established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are traded
within their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of
any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e.,
purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). Corps Capital 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.
Trade Aggregation:
The Advisor provides investment management services to various Clients. The Advisor may, in our sole
discretion, aggregate purchases or sales of any security, instrument or obligation effected for various Client
accounts with purchases or sales, as the case may be, of the same security, instrument or obligation effected
on the same day for the accounts of one or more of our other Clients. Although such concurrent aggregations
potentially could be either advantageous or disadvantageous to any one or more particular accounts, they will
be effected only when we believe that to do so will be in the best interest of the affected accounts. When
transactions are so aggregated, (a) the actual prices applicable to the aggregated transaction will be averaged,
and each Client account participating in the aggregated transaction will be deemed to have purchased or sold
its share of the security, instrument or obligation involved at that average price and (b) all transaction costs
incurred in effecting the aggregated transaction, except to the extent that certain broker-dealers that also
furnish custody services may impose minimum transaction charges applicable to some of the participating
accounts. When such concurrent aggregation occurs, the objective will be to allocate executions in a manner
that is deemed equitable to the accounts involved.
Item 13 Review of Accounts
For those Clients to whom Corps Capital provides investment management services, account reviews are
conducted on an ongoing basis by Corps Capital's Principals and its Advisory Persons. All investment
management Clients are advised that it remains their responsibility to advise us of any changes in their
investment objectives and/or financial situation. All Clients (in person or via telephone) are encouraged to
review financial planning issues (to the extent applicable), investment objectives and account performance
with the Advisor at least annually.
Corps Capital may conduct account reviews on an other-than-periodic basis upon the occurrence of a
triggering event, such as tax law changes, market changes, market condition, change in Client investment
objectives and/or financial situation, and upon Client request. Clients are encouraged to notify Corps Capital
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.
Clients are provided, at least quarterly, with trade confirmations and account statements directly from the
Custodian for their account[s]. The account statements from the Custodian indicate activity, previous portfolio
balances, current portfolio balances, and account summary. The Advisor will also provide investment
performance reports on a periodic basis. Clients are urged to compare all account statements and other
reports provided by us and the Custodian.
Private Fund Advisor Services
Investors in the Funds will receive statements no less than quarterly from the Administrator. These statements
are sent directly from the Administrator to the Investor. The Advisor may also provide Investors with periodic
reports regarding the Fund’s holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Client Referrals:
Corps Capital does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons,
for Client referrals.
Mogul Wealth Strategies, LLC
Corps Capital may refer clients to Mogul Wealth Strategies, LLC (“Mogul”) for financial planning services.
Mogul offers financial planning through their partnership with the Nautilus Group, a service of New York Life
Insurance Company. Clients who choose to utilize Mogul for financial planning will enter into a separate
planning engagement with the firm. Financial planning services offered by Mogul are separate from the advisory
services offered by Corps Capital and are paid by separate fees. Corps Capital and its Advisory Persons will
not receive any portion of the financial planning fee paid to Mogul, or receive any compensation for the referral.
However, if the Client chooses to purchase life insurance through Mogul, then Advisory Persons of Corps
Capital will receive part of the commission generated by the insurance sale. This practice presents a conflict of
interest, as Advisory Persons of Corps Capital have an incentive to refer Clients to Mogul. Clients are under no
obligation to utilize the services of Mogul, or to purchase any insurance product from Mogul.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
Corps Capital has established an institutional relationship with Fidelity (“Custodian”) to assist the Advisor in
managing Client account[s]. Access to the Fidelity platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor. The
Advisor receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment
management services to Clients that maintain assets at Fidelity. The software and related systems support
may benefit the Advisor, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors
at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of
economic benefits from a Custodian creates a potential conflict of interest since these benefits may influence
the Advisor’s recommendation of this Custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems
support, or services.
Fidelity has also paid for business consulting and professional services received by the Advisor’s related
persons. Some of the products and services made available by Fidelity through the program may benefit the
Advisor but may not benefit its Client accounts. These products or services may assist the Advisor in managing
and administering Client accounts, including accounts not maintained at Fidelity. Other services made available
by Fidelity are intended to help the Advisor manage and further develop its business enterprise. The benefits
received by the Advisor or its personnel through participation in the program do not depend on the amount of
brokerage transactions directed to Fidelity. As part of its fiduciary duties to clients, the Advisor endeavors at all
times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic
benefits by the Advisor or its related persons in and of itself creates a conflict of interest and may indirectly
influence the Advisor’s choice of Fidelity for custody and brokerage services.
Item 15 Custody
Corps Capital does not accept or maintain custody of Client accounts, except for the limited circumstances
outlined below:
Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction
of advisory fees, all Clients for whom Corps Capital exercises discretionary authority must hold their assets with
a "qualified custodian." Clients are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to safeguard their funds and
securities and must instruct Corps Capital to utilize that Custodian for securities transactions on their behalf.
Clients are encouraged to review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any reports provided by
Corps Capital to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review.
Private Fund Advisor Services
The General Partner is deemed to have the ability to manage the cash and securities within the Funds. The
Advisor complies with Rule 206(4)-2(b) by having each Funds audited at least annually by a PCAOB-organized
and inspected accountant, and distributes audited financial statements, which are prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, to limited partners within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year
of the Funds. Investors are encouraged to carefully review those statements.
Item 16 Investment Discretion
Clients generally engage Corps Capital to provide investment management services on a discretionary basis.
Prior to assuming discretionary authority over a Client’s account[s], the Client shall be required to execute an
investment management agreement, granting the Advisor full authority to buy, sell, or otherwise effect investment
transactions involving the assets in the Client account[s]. Clients may, at any time, impose reasonable restrictions,
in writing, on our discretionary authority (i.e. limit the types/amounts of particular securities purchased for their
account[s], exclude the ability to purchase securities with an inverse relationship to the market, limit or proscribe
our use of margin, etc.). When selecting securities and determining amounts, the Advisor observes the investment
policies, limitations and restrictions of the Client portfolios it manages. Investment guidelines and restrictions
must be provided to us in writing.
Although we may have discretion over Client accounts, we will not be responsible for handling Client claims
in class action lawsuits or similar settlements involving securities owned by the Client. Clients will receive the
paperwork for such claims directly from their Custodian. Each Client should verify with the Custodian or other
account administrator whether such claims are being made on the Client’s behalf by the Custodian or if the
Client is expected to file such claims directly.
Item 17 Voting Client Securities
Corps Capital 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.
Private Fund Advisor Services
The Advisor does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for the Fund as the underlying investments, which
consist of real estate and private equity, do not issue proxies.
Item 18 Financial Information
Registered investment advisors are required in this Item to provide Clients with certain financial information or
disclosures about our financial condition. Corps Capital has no financial commitment that impairs our ability
to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to Clients, and we have not been the subject of a bankruptcy
proceeding. The Advisor does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per Client for
services that will be completed six months or more in the future.
