Item 4 Advisory Business
Curât Global provides investment advice on domestic and global assets to private individuals and/
or their immediate concerns, such as foundations. The firm is owned by Cynthia Wentworth and Steven
Albrecht, both private individuals. Curât Global’s services can range from consultation on specific

securities, managing portfolios with specific mandates, and complete asset allocation. The individuals
within the firm have decades of experience working with individuals and are able to customize services to
match specific client requirements. The firm only accepts clients when a clear benefit can be provided
through expert advice for specific requirements. The firm does not accept assignments that it believes are
outside of the firm’s areas of expertise. Curât Global works only directly for individual clients and does not
participate in any wrap-fee programs, nor does it accept any soft-dollars or “gifts” from any industry service
providers.
Curât Global provides investment management expertise in an environment where individual and family
counselors (attorneys, accountants, trustees and bankers) may work directly as partners for the benefit of
their clients. The statement above may sound simplistic and obvious. However, since the mid-70’s advisors
to private individuals have increasingly found ways to compete with each other over a client’s attention
rather than, collectively, working together for the single benefit of the client. Historically, collaboration, not
competition, was the normal method of advising individuals. The environment of collaboration has slowly
moved to direct competition. Competition is good, but when it generates confusion and provides less than
ideal recommendations, the process needs to be revised. This is why, after decades of working with clients
around the world, in cooperation with fellow counselors, we created an investment management firm that
concentrates solely on investment management operating the oldfashioned way; in collaboration with a
client’s counselors and exclusively for the client’s best interest. Curât Global is not distracted by attempting
to mix large retirement system planning, mutual fund management, brokerage, investment banking,
insurance and a host of other conflicting investment activities. Investment management is our only business.
Curât Global is a private firm focused completely on advancing a client’s investment objectives and not
distracted by outside shareholders. Success is measured through improved value and security for clients
while paying reasonable fees for services. Curât Global is an ideal blend of innovation and history, taking
the best of creativity and proven values. We succeed when the client’s objectives are achieved.
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Compensation or fees are available in several forms and can be used in any combination depending
upon the services requested. The most popular fee structure is an assets managed approach where the fee is
generally less than 1.0% of the assets managed, paid quarterly or monthly. This fee is negotiable and unique
for each client. Arrangements may also be arranged for hourly rates for special services paid via monthly
invoice. Fees may be paid by invoice or deducted from the account under management. All transaction-
based fees, if any, such as trades are made on a pass-through basis directly from the custodian. Custody fees
should be arranged separately with the custodian or can be arranged with our assistance on the client’s
behalf. We do not serve as a securities custodian. Custody services should be separate from the investment
management function. (See Item 15) We do not receive, nor accept, any fees, commissions, market
incentives, soft-dollars, direct or indirect, from any source other than direct client fees.
Item 6 Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
We do not accept performance-based fee arrangements.

Item 7 Type of Clients
We work for private individuals and/or family structured relationships such as a family office, trust
or family enterprise including foundation. We only perform the investment management function in regard
to a trust and do not serve as trustee.
Item 8 Methods of Analysis
Our investment philosophy is simple and works on a global basis for bonds, stocks, and cash. We
have a long term, real return focus with the objective to protect and grow the purchasing power of a client’s
capital. No matter where in the world it is located. It forces us to ask the right questions about where
investment opportunities can be found. We manage portfolios globally because the location of a stock or
bond listing is less relevant today given business formations and markets. Capital operates increasingly on
a world platform.
At Curât Global, we discount the next great “trend” and focus on time-honored evaluation criteria such as
earnings, the economy and relative value of earnings to the industry and market. We find comfort in the
long-standing belief that portfolios should be managed using realistic expectations and probability. Time
and effort is spent on determining the contribution a company, sector, market, and/or asset class can make
to investor portfolios. Curât Global spends time determining the probability that the investment will add
real value through realistic valuations and income generation.
Economic conditions, sales growth, dividends, and realistic valuations are the strongest factors in
identifying stocks that have an excellent opportunity to contribute to a portfolio. Combining these factors
into a fair valuation is paramount to providing increasing value to the client.
There are some basic rules that govern fair value and creation of a portfolio: Stock prices in the world’s
market are continuously attempting to find true fair value. This is sometimes called volatility. When a
market has a high level of certainty, volatility is low. The opposite is true when valuations are suspect.
Every stock, sector, and market has true fair value that is a reflection of ability to earn a profit, consistently,
through excellent management and distinctive competencies. Stocks that are deeply undervalued by the
market have a higher probability of moving toward fair value as the true fair value is eventually discovered
by the market.
Stocks, sectors and markets that are highly overvalued by the market have a higher probability of declining
to reach true fair value. Over time, the market will drive stock prices beyond fair value, both higher and
lower, based on emotional behavior to follow the winner and abandon the loser. Investors are well rewarded
by eliminating emotions and focusing on true fair value.
Life changes include the legal, estate, retirement, tax and family strategy that develops over years under the
collective guidance of family counselors. The investment area must adapt and be flexible enough, in design
and implementation, to allow and accommodate changes in related areas and not attempt to operate in
isolation.

Part 2 A of Form ADV
In today’s global investment environment, there are no barriers due to open markets and virtually unlimited
information. Barriers do exist in terms of investor comfort. Investors should not invest in areas that create
personal discomfort. Numerous areas exist that provide excellent returns without going outside an investors
comfort zone.
The neutral position includes: dominate country, base currency, economic environment, and acceptance of
value changes over time. Dominate country is simple, it is usually an investor’s tax reporting home. If an
investor’s tax reporting home is Wilmington, Delaware, United States, decisions will be influenced by U.S.
federal tax laws, Delaware state tax laws, and US$ fluctuations relative to non-US$ currencies.
The investment position for an American investor would be different than for a British or Japanese citizen.
It would also differ for a Florida resident and a New York resident. If an investor requires nearly all of the
portfolio to generate income, the stability of the income stream must be reliable. If the income percentage
requirement of the portfolio is lower, a consistent level of income can be generated from a smaller portion
of the portfolio, leaving a higher allocation assigned to long-term value appreciation. This can change over
time as a function of market results, changes in lifestyle or circumstances, and economic environment.
Dominate investment influences are items such as large, legacy positions in specific assets. This can include
high values in stock or unexercised stock options from years of working with the same company, founding
a now public company, real estate holdings, and inherited assets from previous generations. As an example,
if the investor holds a large position of stock in a single company, such as a medical equipment
manufacturer, we will want to neutralize the portfolio from heath care until the investment can be
accommodated within the remaining asset structure.
Filters are applied according to the investor’s comfort between long-term value appreciation and current
stability. This applies to both bonds and stocks. High levels of volatility can be experienced in areas of bond
investment just as in areas of stock investing. Just because a security is a bond, does not mean it is immune
from fluctuations in value.
Securities that are considered undervalued have a higher probability of adding value to the portfolio as they
return to fair values, and possibly above fair value. The opposite is true for stocks that are at extreme levels
of overvaluation. This group of securities is more likely to move back to fair value, and potentially below,
thereby taking value away from the portfolio. The same can be said of market sectors and individual
countries. Sectors that are under fair value should be proportionally increased, and sectors that are
overvalued should be decreased proportionally in relation to the market.
Collaboration of legal, tax, estate, and other considerations impact the portfolio and ultimately the
portfolio’s ability to generate income and/or increase future value. If the portfolio does not take these
important conditions into consideration, the true benefit to the investor is potentially unfulfilled.

Item 11 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Integrity: Provide professional services with integrity. Integrity demands honesty and candor which must
not be subordinated to personal gain and advantage. Employees are placed in positions of trust by clients,
and the ultimate source of that trust is the individual’s personal integrity. Allowance can be made for
innocent error and legitimate differences of opinion, but integrity cannot co-exist with deceit or
subordination of one’s principles.
Objectivity: Provide professional services objectively. Objectivity requires intellectual honesty and
impartiality. Regardless of the specific service rendered or the capacity in which an employee functions, we
must protect the integrity of the work, maintain objectivity and avoid subordination of judgment.
Competence: Maintain the knowledge and skill necessary to provide professional services competently.
Competence means attaining and maintaining an adequate level of knowledge and skill, and application of
that knowledge and skill in providing services to clients. Competence also includes the wisdom to recognize
the limitations of that knowledge and when consultation with other professionals is appropriate or referral
to other professionals necessary. Employees make a continuing commitment to learning and professional
improvement.
Fairness: Be fair and reasonable in all professional relationships. Disclose conflicts of interest. Fairness
requires impartiality, intellectual honesty and disclosure of material conflicts of interest. It involves a
subordination of one’s own feelings, prejudices and desires so as to achieve a proper balance of conflicting
interests. Fairness is treating others in the same fashion that you would want to be treated.
Confidentiality: Protect the confidentiality of all client information. Confidentiality means ensuring that
information is accessible only to those authorized to have access. A relationship of trust and confidence
with the client can only be built upon the understanding that the client’s information will remain
confidential. True confidentiality demands self-discipline and a zero tolerance for unnecessary and
inappropriate disclosure or discussion. Client affairs cannot be discussed outside of the individuals and/or
approved advisors such as a client’s accountant and/or a regulator with specific purpose to know the client’s
information. Client’ pre-approval must be obtained before information can be released.
Professionalism: Act in a manner that demonstrates exemplary professional conduct. Professionalism
requires behaving with dignity and courtesy to clients, fellow professionals, and others in business-related
activities. Employees cooperate to enhance and maintain the firm’s reputation and improve the quality of
services.
Diligence: Provide professional services diligently. Diligence is the provision of services in a reasonably
prompt and thorough manner, including the proper planning for, and supervision of, the rendering of
professional services.
Investment Conflicts:
1. Investments cannot be recommended where an employee or direct relation to the employee may
hold greater than 5% of the equity within the investment.
Part 2 - 6 | P a g e
Curât Global
Part 2 A of Form ADV
2. Employees may directly or indirectly hold securities in their own portfolios that are recommended
or held in client portfolios. A complete list of all employees’ holdings can be obtained at any time
by a client.
3. Employees may not take the opposite side of any client transaction.
Item 12 - Brokerage Practices –
All research services used by the firm are purchased directly. No soft-dollar or similar arrangements
are used to receive research, or any other service, at discounted, or by indirect payment. No gifts, seminars,
travel, or items that would normally be obtained directly by the firm are received “in favor” by outside
enterprises. Broker selection is made by the client and transactions are on a passthrough basis to clients and
may only include the actual costs and may not include any associated, tied, additional or supplemental
charges. Brokerage relationships are made on the quality of execution and ability to execute the best prices
over a long-term period. Short term “vulture-pricing” relationships are avoided. Trading relationships are
negotiated based on overall trading activity for the benefit of all clients. In no case, will one client, or group
of clients be used to benefit another client or group, and at no time will a client be penalized by being
included in a transaction when they could be treated on better conditions when being outside of the group.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts –
Account holdings, asset allocations, account objectives on as as needed basis which could be daily,
weekly, quarterly and / or annual basis. When major events occur, all accounts are reviewed in relation to
the major event and discussed with the client, if appropriate. Client information levels are determined jointly
by the advisor and client and extra-ordinary review and reporting can be arranged at an additional charge.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
No compensation is provided to any group or individual for client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody –
Custody can be arranged directly by the client with any recognized approved provider of such
services. Curât Global does not provide custody services, but will assist a client in selecting and using
custody services that are appropriate for the client’s requirements. We encourage all clients to regularly
examine holdings and balances of custodial reports. Curât Global will assist clients on how to sort out
statement reporting.
Item 16 – Investment Authority –
Curât Global has three levels of authority: complete authority, co-authority and client control.
Complete Control assigns all decision making to the investment manager within the set objectives and goals
of the client. Co-Authority follows the same guidelines as Complete Control but recommendations are not
implemented until the client has specifically approved the recommendation. Client Control requires the
client to make recommendations and receive agreement from the investment manager as to the fit within
client objectives. Client relationships are defined in an Agreement that describes the decision-making level,
objectives and responsibilities. Each client’s Agreement may be unique and specifically designed to meet
the client’s specific service requirement. The Agreement is between the client and Curât Global and at no
time may Curât Global assign, sell, transfer or move the Agreement to another party without the specific
approval of the client.

Item 17 – Voting Client Securities –
Clients are encouraged to directly vote all items on securities. If a client elects not to vote the
security issues directly, they can relinquish this responsibility to a security voting service or may agree to
allow Curât Global to make this election. Curât Global will generally vote in favor of what is considered
the best position for the shareholders long term benefit. Extra charges may apply for providing such
services.
