Item 4: Advisory Business
Our firm is dedicated to providing individuals and other types of clients with a wide array of investment
advisory services. Our firm is a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware
in 2025 and has been in business as an investment adviser since that time. Our firm is wholly owned by
Michael Cheung and Shang Chou.
The purpose of this Brochure is to disclose the conflicts of interest associated with the investment
transactions, compensation and any other matters related to investment decisions made by our firm or its
representatives. As a fiduciary, it is our duty to always act in the client’s best interest. This is accomplished
in part by knowing our client. Our firm has established a service-oriented advisory practice with open lines
of communication for many different types of clients to help meet their financial goals while remaining
sensitive to risk tolerance and time horizons. Working with clients to understand their investment objectives
while educating them about our process facilitates the kind of working relationship we value.
Types of Advisory Services Offered
Wrap Comprehensive Portfolio Management:
Please refer to our Form ADV 2A Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program for additional information.
Retirement Plan Consulting:
Our firm provides retirement plan consulting services to employer plan sponsors on an ongoing basis.
Generally, such consulting services consist of assisting employer plan sponsors in establishing, monitoring
and reviewing their company's participant-directed retirement plan. As the needs of the plan sponsor dictate,
areas of advising may include:
•
• Establishing an Investment Policy Statement – Our firm will assist in the development of a
statement that summarizes the investment goals and objectives along with the broad strategies to
be employed to meet the objectives.
Investment Options – Our firm will work with the Plan Sponsor to evaluate existing investment
options and make recommendations for appropriate changes.
•
• Asset Allocation and Portfolio Construction – Our firm will develop strategic asset allocation
models to aid Participants in developing strategies to meet their investment objectives, time
horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk.
Investment Monitoring – Our firm will monitor the performance of the investments and notify the
client in the event of over/underperformance and in times of market volatility.
• Participant Education – Our firm will provide opportunities to educate plan participants about their
retirement plan offerings, different investment options, and general guidance on allocation
strategies.
In providing services for retirement plan consulting, our firm does not provide any advisory services with
respect to the following types of assets: employer securities, real estate (excluding real estate funds and
publicly traded REITS), participant loans, non-publicly traded securities or assets, other illiquid investments,
or brokerage window programs (collectively, “Excluded Assets”). All retirement plan consulting services
shall be in compliance with the applicable state laws regulating retirement consulting services. This applies
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 4
Dishmi Capital, LLC
to client accounts that are retirement or other employee benefit plans (“Plan”) governed by the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). If the client accounts are part of a Plan,
and our firm accepts appointment to provide services to such accounts, our firm acknowledges its fiduciary
standard within the meaning of Section 3(21) or 3(38) of ERISA as designated by the Retirement Plan
Consulting Agreement with respect to the provision of services described therein.
Tailoring of Advisory Services
Our firm offers individualized investment advice to our Wrap Comprehensive Portfolio Management
clients. General investment advice will be offered to our Retirement Plan Consulting and Private Placement
clients.
Each Wrap Comprehensive Portfolio Management client has the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions
on the types of investments to be held in the portfolio. Restrictions on investments in certain securities or
types of securities may not be possible due to the level of difficulty this would entail in managing the
account.
Participation in Wrap Fee Programs
Our firm offers and sponsors a wrap fee program. Comprehensive Portfolio Management services are only
offered through wrapped accounts, which are managed on an individualized basis according to the client’s
investment objectives, financial goals, risk tolerance, etc. Please see our Part 2A, Appendix 1 (the “Wrap
Fee Program Brochure”) for more information.
Regulatory Assets Under Management
Our firm manages $144,154,128 on a discretionary basis and $0 on a non-discretionary basis as of
October 1st, 2025
Item 5: Fees & Compensation
Compensation for Our Advisory Services
Wrap Comprehensive Portfolio Management:
Please refer to our Form ADV 2A Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program Brochure for additional information.
Retirement Plan Consulting:
Our Retirement Plan Consulting services are billed on a fee based on the percentage of Plan assets under
management. The total estimated fee, as well as the ultimate fee charged, is based on the scope and
complexity of our engagement with the client. Fees based on a percentage of managed Plan assets will not
exceed 1.00%. The fee-paying arrangements will be determined on a case-by-case basis and will be detailed
in the signed consulting agreement.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure

Dishmi Capital, LLC
Other Types of Fees & Expenses
Non-Wrap Clients will incur transaction fees for trades executed by their chosen custodian, either based on
a percentage of the dollar amount of assets in the account(s) or via individual transaction charges. These
transaction fees are separate from our firm’s advisory fees and will be disclosed by the chosen custodian.
Fidelity Brokerage Services (“Fidelity”) eliminated transaction fees for U.S. listed equities and exchange
traded funds for clients who opt into electronic delivery of statements or maintain at least $1 million in
assets at Fidelity. Clients who do not meet either criteria will be subject to transaction fees charged by
Fidelity for U.S. listed equities and exchange traded funds.
Clients may also pay holdings charges imposed by the chosen custodian for certain investments, charges
imposed directly by a mutual fund, index fund, or exchange traded fund, which shall be disclosed in the
fund’s prospectus (e.g., fund management fees and other fund expenses), distribution fees, surrender
charges, variable annuity fees, IRA and qualified retirement plan fees, mark-ups and mark-downs, spreads
paid to market makers, fees for trades executed away from custodian, wire transfer fees and other fees and
taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Our firm does not receive a portion of these fees.
Wrap clients will not incur transaction costs for trades by their chosen custodian. More information about
this can be found in our separate Wrap Fee Program Brochure.
Termination & Refunds
Either party may terminate the advisory agreement signed with our firm for Wrap Comprehensive Portfolio
Management services in writing at any time. Upon notice of termination pro-rata advisory fees for services
rendered to the point of termination will be charged. If advisory fees cannot be deducted, our firm will send
an invoice for due advisory fees to the client.
Either party to a Retirement Plan Consulting Agreement may terminate at any time by providing written
notice to the other party. Full refunds will only be made in cases where cancellation occurs within 5 business
days of signing an agreement. After 5 business days from initial signing, either party must provide the other
party 30 days written notice to terminate billing. Billing will terminate 30 days after receipt of termination
notice. Clients will be charged on a pro-rata basis, which takes into account work completed by our firm
on behalf of the client. Clients will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered up to the point
of termination (determined as 30 days from receipt of said written notice) and such fees will be due and
payable.
Commissionable Securities Sales
Our firm and representatives do not sell securities for a commission in advisory accounts.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees & Side-By-Side Management
Our firm does not charge performance-based fees.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure

Item 7: Types of Clients & Account Requirements
Our firm has the following types of clients:
•
Individuals and High Net Worth Individuals;
• Trusts, Estates or Charitable Organizations;
• Corporations, Limited Liability Companies and/or Other Business Types

However, clients who opt into electronic delivery of statements or maintain at least $1 million in assets at
Fidelity will not be charged transaction fees for U.S. listed equities and exchange traded funds.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies & Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
We use the following methods of analysis in formulating our investment advice and/or managing client
assets:
Modern Portfolio Theory: This is an investment theory based on the idea that risk-averse investors can
construct portfolios to optimize or maximize expected return based on a given level of market risk,
emphasizing that risk is an inherent part of higher reward. The theory suggests that it is possible to construct
an "efficient frontier" of optimal portfolios, offering the maximum possible expected return for a given
level of risk. It suggests that it is not enough to look at the expected risk and return of one particular stock.
By investing in more than one stock, an investor can reap the benefits of diversification, particularly a
reduction in the riskiness of the portfolio.
Investment Strategies We Use
We use the following strategies in managing client accounts, provided that such strategies are appropriate
to the needs of the client and consistent with the client's investment objectives, risk tolerance, and time
horizons, among other considerations:
Long Term Purchases (Securities Held At Least a Year): When utilizing this strategy, we may purchase
securities with the idea of holding them for a relatively long time (typically held for at least a year). A risk
in a long-term purchase strategy is that by holding the security for this length of time, we may not take
advantages of short-term gains that could be profitable to a client. Moreover, if our predictions are incorrect,
a security may decline sharply in value before we make the decision to sell. Typically, we employ this sub-
strategy when we believe the securities to be well valued; and/or we want exposure to a particular asset
class over time, regardless of the current projection for this class.
Short Term Purchases (Securities Sold Within a Year): When utilizing this strategy, we may also
purchase securities with the idea of selling them within a relatively short time (typically a year or less). We
do this in an attempt to take advantage of conditions that we believe will soon result in a price swing in the
securities we purchase.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 7
Dishmi Capital, LLC
Trading (Securities Sold Within 30 Days): We purchase securities with the idea of selling them very
quickly (typically within 30 days or less). We do this in an attempt to take advantage of our predictions of
brief price swings.
Short Sales: We borrow shares of a stock for your portfolio from someone who owns the stock on a promise
to replace the shares on a future date at a certain price. Those borrowed shares are then sold. On the agreed-
upon future date, we buy the same stock and return the shares to the original owner. We engage in short
selling based on our determination that the stock will go down in price after we have borrowed the shares.
If we are correct and the stock price has gone down since the shares were purchased from the original
owner, the client account realizes the profit.
Margin Transactions: We will purchase stocks for your portfolio with money borrowed from your
brokerage account. This allows you to purchase more stock than you would be able to with your available
cash and allows us to purchase stock without selling other holdings.
Option Writing, including Covered Options, Uncovered Options or Spreading Strategies: We may
use options as an investment strategy. An option is a contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the
obligation, to buy or sell an asset (such as a share of stock) at a specific price on or before a certain date.
An option, just like a stock or bond, is a security. An option is also a derivative, because it derives its value
from an underlying asset. The two types of options are calls and puts. A call gives us the right to buy an
asset at a certain price within a specific period of time. We will buy a call if we have determined that the
stock will increase substantially before the option expires. A put gives us the holder the right to sell an asset
at a certain price within a specific period of time. We will buy a put if we have determined that the price of
the stock will fall before the option expires.
We will use options to "hedge" a purchase of the underlying security; in other words, we will use an option
purchase to limit the potential upside and downside of a security we have purchased for your portfolio.
We use "covered calls", in which we sell an option on security you own. In this strategy, you receive a fee
for making the option available, and the person purchasing the option has the right to buy the security from
you at an agreed-upon price.
We use a "spreading strategy", in which we purchase two or more option contracts (for example, a call
option that you buy and a call option that you sell) for the same underlying security. This effectively puts
you on both sides of the market, but with the ability to vary price, time and other factors.
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. While the stock market
may increase and the account(s) could enjoy a gain, it is also possible that the stock market may decrease
and the account(s) could suffer a loss. It is important that clients understand the risks associated with
investing in the stock market, and that their assets are appropriately diversified in investments. Clients are
encouraged to ask our firm any questions regarding their risk tolerance.
General Risks of Owning Securities
The prices of securities held in client accounts and the income they generate may decline in response to
certain events taking place around the world. These include events directly involving the issuers of
securities held as underlying assets in a client’s account, conditions affecting the general economy, and
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 8
Dishmi Capital, LLC
overall market changes. Other contributing factors include local, regional, or global political, social, or
economic instability and governmental or governmental agency responses to economic conditions.
Currency, interest rate, and commodity price fluctuations may also affect security prices and income.
The prices of, and the income generated by, most debt securities held by a client’s account may be affected
by changing interest rates and by changes in the effective maturities and credit ratings of these securities.
For example, the prices of debt securities in the client’s account generally will decline when interest rates
rise and increase when interest rates fall. In addition, falling interest rates may cause an issuer to redeem,
“call” or refinance a security before its stated maturity, which may result in our firm having to reinvest the
proceeds in lower yielding securities. Longer maturity debt securities generally have higher rates of interest
and may be subject to greater price fluctuations than shorter maturity debt securities. Debt securities are
also subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that the credit strength of an issuer will weaken and/or an
issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest and the security will go
into default.
The guarantee of a security backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the U.S. government
only covers the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. This means that the current
market values for these securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates.
Investments in securities issued by entities based outside the United States may be subject to increased
levels of the risks described above. Currency fluctuations and controls, different accounting, auditing,
financial reporting, disclosure, regulatory and legal standards and practices could also affect investments in
securities of foreign issuers. Additional factors may include expropriation, changes in tax policy, greater
market volatility, different securities market structures, and higher transaction costs. Various administrative
difficulties, such as delays in clearing and settling portfolio transactions, or in receiving payment of
dividends can increase risk. Finally, investments in securities issued by entities domiciled in the United
States may also be subject to many of these risks.
Capital Risk: Capital risk is one of the most basic, fundamental risks of investing; it is the risk that you
may lose 100% of your money. All investments carry some form of risk and the loss of capital is generally
a risk for any investment instrument.
Company Risk: When investing in stock positions, there is always a certain level of company or
industry specific risk that is inherent in each investment. This is also referred to as unsystematic risk and
can be reduced through appropriate diversification. There is the risk that the company will perform poorly
or have its value reduced based on factors specific to the company or its industry. For example, if a
company’s employees go on strike or the company receives unfavorable media attention for its actions, the
value of the company may be reduced.
Economic Risk: The prevailing economic environment is important to the health of all businesses. Some
companies, however, are more sensitive to changes in the domestic or global economy than others. These
types of companies are often referred to as cyclical businesses. Countries in which a large portion of
businesses are in cyclical industries are thus also very economically sensitive and carry a higher amount of
economic risk. If an investment is issued by a party located in a country that experiences wide swings from
an economic standpoint or in situations where certain elements of an investment instrument are hinged on
dealings in such countries, the investment instrument will generally be subject to a higher level of economic
risk.
Equity (Stock) Market Risk: Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and,
volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 9
Dishmi Capital, LLC
If you held common stock, or common stock equivalents, of any given issuer, you would generally be
exposed to greater risk than if you held preferred stocks and debt obligations of the issuer.
Liquidity Risk: Certain assets may not be readily converted into cash or may have a very limited market
in which they trade. This can create a substantial delay in the receipt of proceeds from an investment.
Liquidity risk can also result in unfavorable pricing when exiting (i.e. not being able to quickly get out of
an investment before the price drops significantly) a particular investment and therefore, can have a negative
impact on investment returns.
Options Risk: Options on securities may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than an investment in
the underlying securities. Additionally, options have an expiration date, which makes them “decay” in
value over the amount of time they are held and can expire worthless. Purchasing and writing put and call
options are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks.
Strategy Risk: There is no guarantee that the investment strategies discussed herein will work under all
market conditions and each investor should evaluate his/her ability to maintain any investment he/she is
considering in light of his/her own investment time horizon. Investments are subject to risk, including
possible loss of principal.
Description of Material, Significant or Unusual Risks
Our firm generally invests client cash balances in money market funds, FDIC Insured Certificates of
Deposit, high-grade commercial paper and/or government backed debt instruments. Ultimately, our firm
tries to achieve the highest return on client cash balances through relatively low-risk conservative
investments. In most cases, at least a partial cash balance will be maintained in a money market account so
that our firm may debit advisory fees for our services related to our Wrap Comprehensive Portfolio
Management.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
There are no legal or disciplinary events that are material to the evaluation of our advisory business or the
integrity of our management.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities & Affiliations
Our firm is under common ownership with Caerus Investment Advisors, LLC, due to Mr. Cheung’s dual
registration with Caerus Investment Advisors, LLC as an investment adviser representative, Managing
Partner, and Chief Executive Officer. A conflict of interest arises out of being affiliated with multiple
investment advisory firms. To mitigate this conflict Mr. Cheung will act in the client’s best interest. Any
services offered through Caerus Investment Advisors LLC will remain separate from our firm’s advisory
services and will be governed under a separate agreement.
Caerus is additionally deemed to be an issuer of a securities, acting as a managing member of Caerus FICC,
LLC, CRSBB, LLC, CRSUB I, LLC, Caerus SX SP I, LLC, CRSCLM, LLC, CRSNXT,LLC, CRSPIN,
LLC, CRSSTRP II, LLC, CRSSTRP III, LLC, CRSSTRP, LLC, CRSX III, LLC, CRSWIN, LLC,
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure

Dishmi Capital, LLC
CRSSTRP IV, LLC, CRSX, LLC, and CRSX IV, LLC (“the Funds”) Any services offered through Caerus
Investment Advisors LLC will remain separate from our firm’s advisory services and will be governed
under a separate agreement.
Our firm is not registered, nor does it have an application pending to register, as a broker-dealer, registered
representative of a broker dealer, investment company or pooled investment vehicle, other investment
adviser or financial planner, futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, commodity trading
advisor, banking or thrift institution, accountant or accounting firm, lawyer or law firm, insurance company
or agency, pension consultant, real estate broker or dealer or a sponsor or syndicator of limited partnership,
or an associated person of the foregoing entities.
Our firm does not recommend or select other investment advisers for our clients.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in
Client Transactions & Personal Trading
As a fiduciary, it is an investment adviser’s responsibility to provide fair and full disclosure of all material facts
and to act solely in the best interest of each of our clients at all times. Our fiduciary duty is the underlying
principle for our firm’s Code of Ethics, which includes procedures for personal securities transaction and
insider trading. Our firm requires all representatives to conduct business with the highest level of ethical
standards and to comply with all federal and state securities laws at all times. Upon employment with our firm,
and at least annually thereafter, all representatives of our firm will acknowledge receipt, understanding and
compliance with our firm’s Code of Ethics. Our firm and representatives must conduct business in an honest,
ethical, and fair manner and avoid all circumstances that might negatively affect or appear to affect our duty of
complete loyalty to all clients. This disclosure is provided to give all clients a summary of our Code of Ethics.
If a client or a potential client wishes to review our Code of Ethics in its entirety, a copy will be provided
promptly upon request.
Our firm recognizes that the personal investment transactions of our representatives demand the application of
a Code of Ethics with high standards and requires that all such transactions be carried out in a way that does
not endanger the interest of any client. At the same time, our firm also believes that if investment goals are
similar for clients and for our representatives, it is logical, and even desirable, that there be common ownership
of some securities.
In order to prevent conflicts of interest, our firm has established procedures for transactions effected by our
representatives for their personal accounts1. In order to monitor compliance with our personal trading policy,
our firm has pre-clearance requirements and a quarterly securities transaction reporting system for all of our
representatives.
Neither our firm nor a related person recommends, buys or sells for client accounts, securities in which our
firm or a related person has a material financial interest without prior disclosure to the client.
1 For purposes of the policy, our associate’s personal account generally includes any account (a) in the name of our associate, his/her spouse,
his/her minor children or other dependents residing in the same household, (b) for which our associate is a trustee or executor, or (c) which our
associate controls, including our client accounts which our associate controls and/or a member of his/her household has a direct or indirect
beneficial interest in.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 11
Dishmi Capital, LLC
Related persons of our firm may buy or sell securities and other investments that are also recommended to
clients. In order to minimize this conflict of interest, our related persons will place client interests ahead of
their own interests and adhere to our firm’s Code of Ethics, a copy of which is available upon request.
Likewise, related persons of our firm buy or sell securities for themselves at or about the same time they buy
or sell the same securities for client accounts. In order to minimize this conflict of interest, our related persons
will place client interests ahead of their own interests and adhere to our firm’s Code of Ethics, a copy of which
is available upon request. Further, our related persons will refrain from buying or selling securities that will be
bought or sold in client accounts unless done so after the client execution or concurrently as a part of a block
trade.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Selecting a Brokerage Firm
While our firm does not maintain physical custody of client assets, we are deemed to have custody of certain
client assets if given the authority to withdraw assets from client accounts (see Item 15 Custody, below).
Client assets must be maintained by a qualified custodian. Our firm seeks to recommend a custodian who
will hold client assets and execute transactions on terms that are overall most advantageous when compared
to other available providers and their services. The factors considered, among others, are these:
• Timeliness of execution
• Timeliness and accuracy of trade confirmations
• Research services provided
• Ability to provide investment ideas
• Execution facilitation services provided
• Record keeping services provided
• Custody services provided
• Frequency and correction of trading errors
• Ability to access a variety of market venues
• Expertise as it relates to specific securities
• Financial condition
• Business reputation
• Quality of services
Our firm has an arrangement with National Financial Services LLC and Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC
(collectively, and together with all affiliates, "Fidelity") through which Fidelity provides our firm with
"institutional platform services." Our firm is independently operated and owned and is not affiliated with
Fidelity. The institutional platform services include, among others, brokerage, custody, and other related
services. Fidelity's institutional platform services that assist us in managing and administering clients' accounts
include software and other technology that (i) provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations
and account statements); (ii) facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client
accounts; (iii) provide research, pricing and other market data; (iv) facilitate payment of fees from its clients'
accounts; and (v) assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting.
Fidelity may make certain research and brokerage services available at no additional cost to our firm.
Research products and services provided by Fidelity may include: research reports on recommendations or
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 12
Dishmi Capital, LLC
other information about particular companies or industries; economic surveys, data and analyses; financial
publications; portfolio evaluation services; financial database software and services; computerized news and
pricing services; quotation equipment for use in running software used in investment decision-making; and
other products or services that provide lawful and appropriate assistance by Fidelity to our firm in the
performance of our investment decision-making responsibilities. The aforementioned research and brokerage
services qualify for the safe harbor exemption defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
Fidelity does not make client brokerage commissions generated by client transactions available for our
firm’s use. The aforementioned research and brokerage services are used by our firm to manage accounts
for which our firm has investment discretion. Without this arrangement, our firm might be compelled to
purchase the same or similar services at our own expense.
As part of our fiduciary duty to our clients, our firm will endeavor at all times to put the interests of our
clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits by our firm or our
related persons creates a potential conflict of interest and may indirectly influence our firm’s choice of
Fidelity as a custodial recommendation. Our firm examined this potential conflict of interest when our firm
chose to recommend Fidelity and have determined that the recommendation is in the best interest of our firm’s
clients and satisfies our fiduciary obligations, including our duty to seek best execution.
Our non-wrap fee clients may pay a transaction fee or commission to Fidelity that is higher than another
qualified broker dealer might charge to effect the same transaction where our firm determines in good faith
that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided
to the client as a whole.
In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether the
transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a broker-
dealer’s services, including the value of research provided, execution capability, commission rates, and
responsiveness. Although our firm will seek competitive rates, to the benefit of all clients, our firm may not
necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for specific client account transactions.
Soft Dollars
Our firm does not receive soft dollars in excess of what is allowed by Section 28(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of1934. The safe harbor research products and services obtained by our firm will generally
be used to service all of our clients but not necessarily all at any one particular time.
Client Brokerage Commissions
Fidelity does not make client brokerage commissions generated by client transactions available for our
firm’s use.
Client Transactions in Return for Soft Dollars
Our firm does not direct client transactions to a particular broker-dealer in return for soft dollar benefits.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
Our firm does not receive brokerage for client referrals.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 13
Dishmi Capital, LLC
Directed Brokerage
Neither our firm nor any of our firm’s representatives have discretionary authority in making the
determination of the brokers-dealers and/or custodians with whom orders for the purchase or sale of
securities are placed for execution, and the commission rates at which such securities transactions are
effected. Our firm routinely recommends that clients direct us to execute through a specified broker-dealer.
Our firm recommends the use of Fidelity. Each client will be recommended to establish their account(s) with
Fidelity if not already done. Please note that not all advisers have this recommendation.
Our firm provides appropriate disclosure in writing to clients who direct trades to particular brokers, that
with respect to their directed trades, they will be treated as if they have retained the investment discretion
that our firm otherwise would have in selecting brokers to effect transactions and in negotiating
commissions and that such direction may adversely affect our ability to obtain best price and execution. In
addition, our firm will inform clients in writing that the trade orders may not be aggregated with other
clients’ orders and that direction of brokerage may hinder best execution.
Special Considerations for ERISA Clients
A retirement or ERISA plan client may direct all or part of portfolio transactions for its account through a
specific broker or dealer in order to obtain goods or services on behalf of the plan. Such direction is
permitted provided that the goods and services provided are reasonable expenses of the plan incurred in the
ordinary course of its business for which it otherwise would be obligated and empowered to pay. ERISA
prohibits directed brokerage arrangements when the goods or services purchased are not for the exclusive
benefit of the plan. Consequently, our firm will request that plan sponsors who direct plan brokerage provide
us with a letter documenting that this arrangement will be for the exclusive benefit of the plan.
Client-Directed Brokerage
Our firm allows clients to direct brokerage outside our recommendation. Our firm may be unable to achieve
the most favorable execution of client transactions. Client directed brokerage may cost clients more money.
For example, in a directed brokerage account, clients may pay higher brokerage commissions because our
firm may not be able to aggregate orders to reduce transaction costs, or clients may receive less favorable

Aggregation of Purchase or Sale
Our firm provides investment management services for various clients. There are occasions on which portfolio
transactions may be executed as part of concurrent authorizations to purchase or sell the same security for
numerous accounts served by our firm, which involve accounts with similar investment objectives. Although
such concurrent authorizations potentially could be either advantageous or disadvantageous to any one or more
particular accounts, they are affected only when our firm believes that to do so will be in the best interest of the
effected accounts. When such concurrent authorizations occur, the objective is to allocate the executions in a
manner which is deemed equitable to the accounts involved. In any given situation, our firm attempts to allocate
trade executions in the most equitable manner possible, taking into consideration client objectives, current asset
allocation and availability of funds using price averaging, proration and consistently non-arbitrary methods of
allocation.

Item 14: Client Referrals & Other Compensation
Fidelity
Except for the arrangements outlined in Item 12 of Form ADV Part 2A, our firm has no additional
arrangements to disclose.
Client Referrals
In accordance with Rule 206 (4)-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, our firm provides cash or non-
cash compensation directly or indirectly to unaffiliated persons for testimonials or endorsements (which
include client referrals). Such compensation arrangements will not result in higher costs to the referred
client. In this regard, our firm maintains a written agreement with each unaffiliated person that is
compensated for testimonials or endorsements in an aggregate amount of $1,000 or more (or the equivalent
value in non-cash compensation) over a trailing 12-month period in compliance with Rule 206 (4)-1 of the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and applicable state and federal laws. The following information will be
disclosed clearly and prominently to referred prospective clients at the time of each testimonial or
endorsement:
• Whether or not the unaffiliated person is a current client of our firm,
• A description of the cash or non-cash compensation provided directly or indirectly by our firm to
the unaffiliated person in exchange for the referral, if applicable, and
• A brief statement of any material conflicts of interest on the part of the unaffiliated person giving
the referral resulting from our firm’s relationship with such unaffiliated person.
In cases where state law requires licensure of solicitors, our firm ensures that no solicitation fees are paid
unless the solicitor is registered as an investment adviser representative of our firm. If our firm is paying
solicitation fees to another registered investment adviser, the licensure of individuals is the other firm’s
responsibility.

Item 15: Custody
Deduction of Advisory Fees:
While our firm does not maintain physical custody of client assets (which are maintained by a qualified
custodian, as discussed above), we are deemed to have custody of certain client assets due to being given
the authority to withdraw assets from client accounts and through our common ownership with Caerus
Investment Advisors, LLC (“Caerus”). All of our clients receive account statements directly from their
qualified custodian(s) at least quarterly upon opening of an account. We urge our clients to carefully review
these statements. Additionally, if our firm decides to send its own account statements to clients, such
statements will include a legend that recommends the client compare the account statements received from
the qualified custodian with those received from our firm. Clients are encouraged to raise any questions
with us about the custody, safety or security of their assets and our custodial recommendations.
Our firm is under common control with Caerus Investment Advisors, LLC (“Caerus”). Caerus is affiliated
with pooled investment vehicles, and therefore maintains custody of client assets. To comply with the
Custody Rule, Caerus engages an independent public accountant that is registered with the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and ensures audited financial statements of the pooled vehicle
are prepared in accordance with GAAP and distributed to all limited partners within 120 days of the end of
its fiscal year (180 days from the end of the fund of funds fiscal year if the fund is a fund of fund).
All of Caerus clients receive at least quarterly account statements directly from their custodians. Upon
opening an account with a qualified custodian on a client's behalf, we promptly notify the client in writing
of the qualified custodian's contact information. If we decide to also send account statements to clients,
such notice and account statements include a legend that recommends that the client compare the account
statements received from the qualified custodian with those received from our firm.
Fund Manager:
Michael Cheung is the General Partner of certain private placements (“Funds”), Caerus is deemed to have
custody of the cash and securities held by these Funds. In compliance with SEC Rule 206(4)-2(b)(4)(i), the
Funds each send an audited financial statement, audited by a registered Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) accountant, to each Fund investor within 120 days of each Fund’s fiscal year
end. By ensuing these steps are followed, Our Firm’s and Caerus’s annual surprise examination requirement
is satisfied. Clients are encouraged to raise any questions with us about the custody, safety or security of
their assets and our custodial recommendations.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Clients have the option of providing our firm with investment discretion on their behalf, pursuant to an
executed investment advisory client agreement. By granting investment discretion, our firm is authorized
to execute securities transactions, determine which securities are bought and sold, and the total amount to
be bought and sold. Should clients grant our firm non-discretionary authority, our firm would be required
to obtain the client’s permission prior to effecting securities transactions. Limitations may be imposed by
the client in the form of specific constraints on any of these areas of discretion with our firm’s written

prior to effecting securities transactions in client accounts managed on a non-discretionary basis.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Our firm does not accept the proxy authority to vote client securities. Clients will receive proxies or other
solicitations directly from their custodian or a transfer agent. In the event that proxies are sent to our firm,
our firm will forward them to the appropriate client and ask the party who sent them to mail them directly
to the client in the future. Clients may call, write or email us to discuss questions they may have about
particular proxy votes or other solicitations.

rendered within 6 months.
• Our firm does not take custody of client funds or securities.
• Our firm does not have a financial condition or commitment that impairs our ability to meet
