Item 4 Advisory Business
FIRM DESCRIPTION
Cross Border Wealth, LLC (hereinafter referred to as “CBW”, “we”, “us”, or “our firm”) is a Delaware
limited liability company with its principal office located in New York, NY and has been in business
as a registered investment adviser since 2017. The principal owners of the firm are Andoni Yturralde
and Fabrice Mercier.
As a registered investment adviser, we are a fiduciary to you, our client, meaning we have a
fundamental obligation to act and provide investment advice that is in your best interest. Should
any material conflicts of interest exist that might affect the impartiality of our investment advice,
they will be disclosed to you in this Brochure. We urge you to review this Brochure carefully and
consider our qualifications, business practices and the nature of our advisory services before
becoming our client.
As of December 2024, CBW manages $138,847,646 of client assets on a non-discretionary basis. We
do not manage any client assets on a discretionary basis.
ADVISORY PROGRAMS
This Brochure describes the advisory services we offer to our clients. CBW enters into formal written
agreements with our clients setting forth the terms and conditions under which we will provide our
advisory services (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). The Investment Advisory Agreement sets
forth the scope of the services to be provided and the compensation we receive from the client for
such services.
Our advisory services are offered through certain individuals who have registered with CBW as its
investment adviser representatives (“advisors”). Clients should refer to such advisor’s Form ADV
Part 2B (the “Brochure Supplement”) for more information about their qualifications.
During our initial meeting or conversations, our advisory services will be explained to the client and
tailored to their needs based on their individual investment objectives, risk tolerance, and cash or
income needs. At this time and, at any time afterward, clients may impose restrictions on investing
in certain types of securities. Although CBW seeks to accommodate any reasonable investment
restrictions or guidelines set by our clients, we may decline to accommodate certain investment
restrictions that are incompatible with our firm’s investment philosophy or that may have an
adverse effect on our ability to manage your account. Clients should promptly notify CBW if there
are any significant changes to their financial situation, goals, objectives or needs so we can review
our previous recommendations and make any necessary adjustments.
4
Cross Border Wealth, LLC
Form ADV Part 2A
Our advisors may offer all or any combination of the advisory services described below to our clients:
Investment Advisory Services. We provide non-discretionary portfolio management services where
we provide advice and recommendations to the client to assist them in making investment decisions
to meet their investment goals and objectives. We will first consult with the client before placing any
specific order or obtain specific authorization from the client for each specific transaction. We will
monitor the client’s account on an ongoing basis and conduct periodic portfolio reviews with the client
to discuss their investment needs, goals, and objectives.
Client accounts will primarily be invested in exchange traded funds (ETFs). Other types of securities
including, but not limited to are: mutual funds, individual’s equities, individual bonds, options and
structured products. Our advice is generally limited to these types of investments, but we reserve the
right to advise or not advise our clients on certain investments should we deem it appropriate based
on their particular circumstances. We may hold all or a portion of Client’s account in cash. Please see
the section titled “Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss” for further details.
For clients subscribed to our portfolio management services, we also provide financial planning
services where we will work with clients to review their current financial position, stated goals and
objectives and make recommendations on how clients can manage their financial resources based on
an analysis of their individual needs. Recommendations may be made in the form of a written financial
plan or a verbal consultation. The client is under no obligation to act upon our recommendations.
Pension Consulting Services. We provide complete pension advisory services where we will assist clients
with their plan conversions and guide them through all available options and investment opportunities.
The services take into account information collected from the client such as financial status, investment
objectives, among other data. We will review the plan features, investments, services and fees in the
client’s current pension plan and if deemed to be in the client’s best interest, we may recommend that
the client move their assets to an individual retirement account or another pension plan provider. As
part of these Pension Consulting services, we do not manage or exercise investment discretion or
trading authority over these client portfolios. If a client would like to have our firm manage their
portfolio, they may choose to engage us for our Portfolio Management service.
Wrap Fee Programs. CBW does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
Important Note: It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that CBW is promptly notified if there are ever
any significant changes to their financial situation, goals, objectives or needs so we can review our
previous recommendations and make any necessary adjustments.

Item 5 Fees and Compensation
ADVISORY FEES
The following information describes how CBW is compensated for the advisory services we provide
to our clients. The specific manner in which fees are charged and the compensation we receive may
differ between clients depending upon the individual Investment Advisory Agreement with each
client. CBW reserves the right to negotiate our compensation with clients depending on the scope
of our advisory relationship, and we may charge higher or lower fees than are available from other
firms for comparable services. CBW has the general discretion to waive all or a portion of our fees,
but typically only exercises this discretion for our employees.
Fees for Portfolio Management Services. In consideration for providing portfolio management
services and pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement with the client, CBW charges an
annual asset-based fee based on the client’s assets under management (“AUM”) as valued by the
custodian. Fees are negotiated with each client based on a variety of factors, such as the amount of
assets being managed, future deposits in the accounts under our management, the level and type
of services provided and/or the nature of the relationship with the client. Our standard fee rates
are provided below.
Schedule of Fees.
Assets Under Management
Assets less than $500,000
$500,001 to $1,500,000
$1,500,001 to $3,000,000
$3,000,001 to $5,000,000
$5,000,001 and above
Annual Fee
1.25%
1.00%
0.75%
0.50%
0.25%
CBW generally bills our fees on a monthly or quarterly basis in arrears, in cases where Charles
Schwab is the custodian, the firm will bill clients quarterly in advance. Clients must authorize the
deduction of our fees from their managed accounts by the qualified custodian and choose the
method by which our fees will be calculated. Clients may elect to have our advisory fees calculated
by our firm and deducted from their accounts. The client makes this election when applying for
their account at custodian of choice or at any time or cancel the existing arrangement.
CBW charges a minimum monthly investment advisory fee of 100 USD for Interactive Brokers
accounts and minimum quarterly investment advisory fee of 300 USD for Charles Schwab accounts.
Fees for Pension Consulting Services. CBW charges a fixed consulting fee of up to 3% with a
minimum of 3K GBP and maximum of 20K GBP based on the client’s assets in their pension plan.
Clients’ fees will be deducted from their pension assets by the trustee or custodian and paid to CBW
upon completion of the consultation.
6
Cross Border Wealth, LLC
Form ADV Part 2A
Additional Fees and Expenses. Clients will incur transaction charges and/or brokerage fees
when purchasing or selling securities. These charges and fees are typically imposed by the broker-
dealer, qualified custodian trustee, administrator and/or plan sponsor through which account
transactions are executed. For more information on our brokerage practices, please refer to the
“Brokerage Practices” section of this Brochure.
The fees that clients pay to our firm for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from
the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds and/or exchange traded funds (described in each
fund’s prospectus) to their shareholders. The fees charged directly by mutual funds and exchange
traded funds will typically include a management fee and other fund expenses.
To fully understand the total costs associated with their investment portfolio, clients should review
all the fees charged by mutual funds, exchange traded funds, our firm and others.
Termination. The Investment Advisory Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time
upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party. Upon termination of our status as the client’s
investment adviser, CBW will not take any further action with respect to the client’s account(s)
unless specifically notified by the client in writing. Clients will be responsible for instructing their
custodian and monitoring their account for the final disposition of assets.
Refunds. Upon receipt of a proper notice of termination from the client, as described in the
Investment Advisory Agreement, any unpaid fees earned will be billed on a pro-rata basis based on
the amount of work performed by us up to the point of termination.
Brokerage Commissions. CBW does not receive brokerage commissions from the sale of securities
or other investment products. Our compensation for recommending securities and investment
products is limited to the advisory fees described above.
Any material conflicts of interest between clients and CBW or our employees are disclosed in this
Brochure. If at any time, additional material conflicts of interest develop, CBW will provide our
clients with written notification of those material conflicts of interest or an updated Brochure.
Item 6 Performance-Based Fees
PERFORMANCE BASED FEES
CBW does not charge our clients’ fees based on a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of
the assets in their accounts.

Cross Border Wealth, LLC
Form ADV Part 2A
Item 7 Types of Clients
TYPES OF CLIENTS
CBW offers investment advisory services to a diversified group of clients including individuals, high
net worth individuals, trusts, estates, and corporations and other business entities. Our advisory
services are tailored to the needs of Expatriates Globally, Americans Overseas, and Foreign
Nationals. Client relationships may vary in scope and length of service.
ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS
CBW generally requires a minimum account balance of $250,000 for our portfolio management
services. However, CBW in its sole discretion may waive or lower our minimum account balance
requirement based on various criteria (i.e., anticipated future additional assets to be managed,
related accounts, account composition, negotiations with the client, etc.).
Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
METHODS OF ANALYSIS
The securities analysis methods employed by CBW may include fundamental analysis and technical
analysis.
Fundamental Analysis. This method of analysis attempts to identify the intrinsic value of a security
by looking at economic, financial and other quantitative or qualitative factors to determine if the
security is underpriced or overpriced. Fundamental analysis does not attempt to anticipate market
movements.
Technical Analysis. This method of analysis involves the evaluation of historical market data for a
particular investment to identify recurring trading patterns that predict future price movements.
Our methods rely on the assumption that the companies whose securities we purchase and sell, the
rating agencies that review these securities, and other publicly available sources of information
about these securities, are providing accurate and unbiased data. While we are alert to indications
that data may be incorrect, there is always a risk that our analysis may be compromised by
inaccurate or misleading information.
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Strategies may include long-term purchases, short-term purchases, trading, short sales, margin
transactions, and option writing. The investment strategy for a specific client is based upon the
objectives stated by the client during our initial consultations. The client may change these
8
Cross Border Wealth, LLC
Form ADV Part 2A
objectives at any time. Risk management is integrated into our process through the use of
appropriate risk levels in each position. The value of securities used in our strategies may go up or
down in response to factors not within our control, including but not limited to the status of an
individual company underlying a security, or the general economic climate. When investing client
portfolios, we seek to maintain discipline and objectivity by focusing on the client’s financial goals and
objectives and avoiding trading on short term uncertainties such as position specific news events.
RISK OF LOSS
Any investment carries a certain degree of risk, including a possible loss of principal that clients
should be prepared to bear. The value of securities used in all our strategies may go up or down in
response to factors not within our control, such as but not limited to the status of an individual
company underlying a security, or the general economic climate. There is no guarantee that any of
the investment strategies that our firm employs will outperform the investment strategies used by
other firms. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and avoiding trading on short-term
uncertainties such as position specific news events.
Investors should be aware their investment is not guaranteed and understand that there is a risk
of loss of value in their investment.
Item 9 Disciplinary Information
REQUIRED DISCLOSURES
We are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that are
material to a client’s or prospective client’s evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of
our management.

our firm and all our associated persons. The purpose of the Code is to set out ideals for integrity,

10
Cross Border Wealth, LLC
Form ADV Part 2A
All employees of CBW are required to handle their personal securities transactions in such a manner
as to avoid any actual or potential conflicts of interest or any abuse of position of trust and
responsibility. Annually, we require all employees to certify that they have read, understand and
will comply with the Code.
Clients and prospective clients may request a full copy of our firm’s Code of Ethics by contacting our
firm in writing at Cross Border Wealth, LLC, 230 Park Avenue, 4th Floor West New York, NY 10169
or calling our firm at 646-688-5333.
PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS
CBW and/or our advisors may invest in the same securities that are recommended to and/or
purchased for our clients. CBW has adopted procedures designed to ensure that the personal
securities transactions, activities and interests of CBW and/or our advisors will not interfere with
our ability to make investment decisions in the best interest of our clients.
PERSONAL TRADING
CBW and/or our advisors may invest in the same securities that are recommended to and/or
purchased for our clients. CBW has adopted procedures designed to ensure that the personal
securities transactions, activities and interests of CBW and/or our advisors will not interfere with
our ability to make investment decisions in the best interest of our clients.
Item 12 Brokerage Practices
SELECTION OF BROKER-DEALERS
Securities transactions are generally executed through Interactive Brokers, LLC. (“Interactive
Brokers”), member FINRA/SIPC/NYSE, Charles Schwab, Novia Global, RL 360 and Utmost. All
custodians maintain custody of our clients’ assets and effects securities transactions for our
portfolio management clients’ accounts. CBW is independently owned and operated and is not
affiliated with or a related person of any other entity.
CBW considers a number of factors prior to recommending a particular broker-dealer to our clients,
including but not limited to, their familiarity with the securities to be sold or purchased, their
execution skills, order-flow capabilities, their commission rates or other fee schedules, their
custodial services, their level of net capital (financial strength) and excess SIPC and other insurance
coverage. The commissions charged by the financial institutions we recommend are competitive
with similarly situated retail broker-dealers offering the same variety of securities to clients. Clients
are advised, however, that they may be able to effect transactions in securities through other
broker-dealers at lower commission rates, particularly with respect to securities listed on a national
securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market.
11
Cross Border Wealth, LLC
Form ADV Part 2A
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits. CBW works with several financial institutions that offer
products or services other than execution that assist our firm in managing and administering client
accounts. These may include software and other technology that provide access to client account
data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution (and
allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts), facilitate payment of our fees
from clients’ accounts, and assist with back-office functions, record keeping and client reporting.
These services may be used to provide a substantial number of client accounts.
CBW may also receive services from its affiliates that are intended to help our firm manage and
further develop our business. These services may include registration support, website design and
technology support. These products may include such items as: client reporting and consolidated
statement software; client communication software; client relationship management software;
compliance assistance; and investment research.
CBW does not participate in any commission-sharing arrangements or receive soft dollar credits.
Nonetheless, we seek to ensure that the securities transactions effected for our clients represent
the best qualitative execution, not just the lowest possible cost.
Our firm routinely compares order execution disclosure information to other broker-dealers to
ensure best execution for our clients’ securities transactions. Although the brokerage commissions
and/or transaction fees charged may be higher or lower than those charged by other broker-
dealers, in seeking best execution for our clients our firm strives to ensure that our clients pay
brokerage commissions and/or transactions fees which we have determined, in good faith, to be
reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and other services provided.
Brokerage for Client Referrals. CBW does not consider broker-dealer or third-party referrals in
selecting or recommending broker-dealers to our clients as this would create a conflict of interest.
Directed Brokerage. While CBW generally recommends that clients direct transactions through
certain broker-dealers, we do not have discretionary authority to determine the broker-dealer to
be used for the purchase or sale of securities for client accounts or the commission rates paid to a
broker-dealer for client securities transactions.
In rare cases, CBW may utilize other broker-dealers when requested by the client. Clients of CBW
must be aware that if they direct us to use a particular broker-dealer that may limit our ability to
achieve best execution or limit their participation in block trading. As a result, clients may pay higher
commissions, have higher transaction costs, or receive less favorable prices. In situations where the
client directs us to affect their transactions through a particular broker-dealer, we require such
directions to be in writing.
TRADE AGGREGATION
Trade orders for the same security entered on behalf of more than one client will generally be
aggregated pursuant to our firm’s trade aggregation procedures.
12
Cross Border Wealth, LLC
Form ADV Part 2A
Investment decisions deemed appropriate for one client may also be deemed appropriate for other
clients so that the same security may be purchased or sold at or at about the same time for more
than one client. When this is the case, our firm may, but is not obligated to, aggregate similar trades
for multiple clients and execute the trade as a single block.
When transactions are aggregated, the securities purchased or sold will be allocated in a fair and
equitable manner. Our trade allocation procedures seek to allocate investment opportunities
among our clients in the fairest possible way taking into account their best interests. These
procedures ensure that allocations do not involve a practice of favoring or discriminating against
any client or group of clients. Transactions are usually aggregated to seek a more advantageous net
price and/or to obtain better execution for all clients. Nevertheless, there is no assurance that the
aggregation of transactions will benefit all clients equally, and in some instances combined orders
could adversely affect the price or volume of security. Also, it is possible that we may not aggregate
trades in circumstances where it would be beneficial to do so.
TRADE ERRORS
From time to time, our firm may make a trade error when servicing a client’s account. When this
occurs, we will correct the trade as soon as we discover the error. Trading errors will be corrected
at no cost to clients. If there is a cost associated with this correction, such cost is borne by CBW and
not the client. Note that we do not credit accounts for market losses unrelated to our error.
Item 13 Review of Accounts
ACCOUNT REVIEWS
CBW conducts account reviews at least annually for clients subscribed to our portfolio management
services. The frequency of the review depends upon a variety of factors such as the client’s risk
profile, activity in the account, economic and market conditions, and the client’s preferences, if any.
Additional reviews may be triggered by changes in the investment objectives or guidelines for a
particular client or specific arrangements with the client.
Formal client review meetings are generally conducted at intervals mutually agreed upon by the
advisor and the client. During these reviews, any changes in the client’s investment objectives are
discussed so we can review our previous recommendations and make any necessary adjustments.
ACCOUNT REPORTS
Clients have direct and continuous access to their account information and related documents via
the password-protected website of the qualified custodian with which their accounts are held.
13
Cross Border Wealth, LLC
Form ADV Part 2A
Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation
CLIENT REFERRALS
CBW may retain third parties to act as solicitors/promoters for CBW’s investment management
services. Compensation with respect to the foregoing will be fully disclosed to each client to the
extent required by applicable law. CBW will ensure each solicitor/promoter is properly exempt or
registered in all appropriate jurisdictions. All such referral activities will be conducted in accordance
with the Advisers Act, where applicable.
OTHER COMPENSATION
CBW does not receive any economic benefit from anyone who is not a client in exchange for our
provision of investment advice or other advisory services.
Item 15 Custody
CUSTODY OF CLIENT FUNDS AND SECURITIES
CBW does not exercise custody over client assets or accounts. We work with qualified financial
institutions who maintain custody of client funds in separate investment account(s) for each client
under the client’s name. CBW personnel may assist the client in preparing paperwork to open a new
investment account, but only the client is permitted to authorize, by their signature, the opening of
the account. The financial institution usually sends an account-opening letter via email after the
account is approved. Clients enrolled to use the financial institution’s automatic advisor fee billing
function will be sent an invoice each time a fee is charged to their account(s). This invoice reflects
the fee charged, the fee calculation methodology, and the period covered by the fee.
Clients can usually also access daily, monthly and annual account statements as well as daily trade
confirmations through the custodian’s website. Clients should also expect to receive quarterly
account summaries from the qualified custodian. Clients should carefully review the account
statements and summaries received from the qualified custodian(s) and compare such official
custodial statements to any account reports provided by our firm. Any client that does not receive
an account statement or summary from the qualified custodian should call our firm immediately so
that we can arrange to have another statement sent by the custodian.
Item 16 Investment Discretion
AUTHORITY
CBW does not accept discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of clients.
However, we will exercise limited discretion with respect to the price at which, or the time when,
an order for the purchase or sale of a specified security shall be executed.
14
Cross Border Wealth, LLC
Form ADV Part 2A
Item 17 Voting Client Securities
AUTHORITY TO VOTE CLIENT PROXIES
CBW does not accept authority from clients with respect to voting for proxies solicited by, or with
respect to, the issuers of any securities held in client portfolios. The qualified custodian holding
clients’ assets will send all such proxy documents it receives to the client so that the client may take
whatever action the client deems appropriate. CBW does not offer clients any consulting assistance
regarding proxy issues.
Item 18 Financial Information
REQUIRED DISCLOSURES
As previously discussed in this brochure, CBW does not accept discretionary authority when
managing client assets. CBW does not require clients to prepay more than $1,200 in fees six months
or more in advance.
CBW has no financial commitments that would impair our firm’s ability to meet our contractual and
fiduciary commitments to our clients and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
