Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Draper Asset Management LLC (“Draper Asset Management” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”)
under the laws of the State of New York. Draper Asset Management was founded in October 2008 and is owned and
operated by Robert F. Draper Jr. (Managing Member and Chief Compliance Officer). This Disclosure Brochure
provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by Draper
Asset Management.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Draper Asset Management offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts,
estates, businesses, and charitable organizations (each referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary, the
Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential conflicts
of interest. Draper Asset Management'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
Draper Asset Management provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved by
providing discretionary investment management and advisory services. Draper Asset Management works closely
with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in
order to create a portfolio strategy. Draper Asset Management will then construct an investment portfolio, consisting
predominantly of individual stocks, bonds, and/or options contracts to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The
Advisor may also utilize Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), and other types of investments, as appropriate, to
meet the needs of its Clients. As part of the Advisor’s overall investment process, the Advisor may hold varying levels
of cash in client accounts based on the client’s investment objectives, financial goals, liquidity needs, or in response
to market conditions and volatility. In certain circumstances, cash positions may be held for extended periods while
the Advisor evaluates investment opportunities or manages risk, which may reduce the account’s participation in
market gains during those periods. 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.
Draper Asset Management’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or
re-allocate positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market
conditions. Draper Asset Management 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.
Draper Asset Management evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its
internal due diligence process. Draper Asset Management may redistribute investment allocations to diversify the
portfolio. Draper Asset Management may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings.
The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement.
Draper Asset Management may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to,
harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities,
overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating
cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
At no time will Draper Asset Management accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the
limited authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s]
at the Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.

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.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Draper Asset Management to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter
into one or more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the
Advisor and the Client. These services may include:
● Establishing an Investment Strategy – Draper Asset Management, in connection with the Client, will develop
a strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
● Asset Allocation – Draper Asset Management will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet
the investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
● Portfolio Construction – Draper Asset Management will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to
meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client.
●
Investment Management and Supervision – Draper Asset Management will provide investment management
and ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Draper Asset Management does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management
services are provided directly by Draper Asset Management.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, Draper Asset Management manages $230,959,228 in Client assets, all of which are
managed on a discretionary basis. Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the
Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into one or more
written agreements with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly, in arrears of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the
investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the market value of assets under
management at the end of the calendar quarter. Investment advisory fees are 1.25% annually.
The investment advisory fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the
end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into
consideration the aggregate assets under management (including assets held in cash) with the Advisor. All securities
held in accounts managed by Draper Asset Management will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor
will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing.

Phone: (631) 361-4925

https://www.draperasset.com/
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and other
related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor
shall not receive any portion of those commissions, fees, or costs.
The Advisor does not charge Clients investment advisory fees for cash management only accounts, or assets under
advisement (“AUA”) accounts.
B. Fee Billing
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees are calculated by the Advisor and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian
on a quarterly basis. The amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the
total assets under management with Draper Asset Management at the end of each quarter. Clients will be provided
with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting the deduction of the investment advisory fee.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Draper Asset Management, in
connection with investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor's recommended Custodian may
charge commissions, transaction fees, and handling fees. The Client is responsible for all fees charged by the
Custodian, as applicable. The fees charged by Draper Asset Management are separate and distinct from these
custody and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to Draper Asset Management for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from
the expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are
described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for
the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage, and account reporting), and a
possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of Draper
Asset Management, but would not receive the services provided by Draper Asset Management, which are designed,
among other things, to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each
Client’s financial situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s]
and the fees charged by Draper Asset Management to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item
12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees
Draper Asset Management does not take advance payment of fees from its Clients.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Draper Asset Management does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any
compensation for securities transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Draper Asset Management does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees
charged by Draper Asset Management are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital
appreciation of the funds or securities held by any Client.
Draper Asset Management does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example,
a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its
Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Draper Asset Management offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts,
estates, businesses, and charitable organizations. Draper Asset Management generally does not impose a minimum
relationship size.

Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Draper Asset Management primarily employs a fundamental analysis method in developing investment strategies for
its Clients. Research and analysis from Draper Asset Management 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 evaluating the company's financial situation, understanding their role in the ecosystem, any possible
macroeconomic headwinds or tailwinds, or any intrinsic value of the company that might not be fully appreciated by
the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee
that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in the fundamental analysis
may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to
determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are
included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
As noted above, Draper Asset Management generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as
consistent with their financial goals. Draper Asset Management will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more
than a year, but may hold for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of
Clients. At times, Draper Asset Management may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature,
depending on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector, or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients should
be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Draper Asset Management will assist Clients in determining an
appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee
that a Client will meet their investment goals.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the
investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may
lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to
determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are
included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client
or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals, or
other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts.
The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction process.
The following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
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
Draper Asset Management LLC
116 Terry Road, #16, Smithtown, NY 11787
Phone: (631) 361-4925
Page 7
https://www.draperasset.com/
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.
Bond Risks
Bonds are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e. the risk that bond prices will fall
if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to maturity, and the coupon rate
of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e. the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower rate than was
previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e. the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at a rate that exceeds
the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk, i.e. the risk associated
with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the company defaulting on its repayment
obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e. the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the company’s rating
which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6) Liquidity Risks, i.e. the risk
that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the bond.
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.
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.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”)
Investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) involves certain distinct risks in addition to those risks associated
with investing in the real estate industry in general. For Example, equity REITs may be affected by changes in the
value of the underlying property owned by the REITs, while mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of credit
extended. REITs are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers and self-liquidation. REITs,
especially mortgage REITs, are also subject to interest rate risk (i.e., as interest rates rise, the value of the REIT may
decline).
Equity (Stock) Risks
Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases or decreases in value
as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. If an investor held common stock or common stock
equivalents of any given issuer, they may be exposed to greater risk than if they held preferred stocks and debt
obligations of the issuer. Preferred stocks can be affected by interest rate and liquidity risks (described in adjacent
paragraphs). Also note that their dividend payment is not guaranteed; some are subject to a call provision, meaning
the issuer can redeem its preferred shares on demand, and usually when interest rates have fallen.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve
a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss
these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving Draper Asset Management or its owner. Draper
Asset Management values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the
requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor
or Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov
by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 148136.

Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Draper Asset Management is not a broker-dealer, and does not does not manage futures. Draper Asset Management
does not use independent managers or advisers to manage its Client’s portfolios.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Draper Asset Management 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 Draper Asset Management (“Supervised
Persons”). The Code was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the
Advisor’s duties to each Client. Draper Asset Management and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness
and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of Draper Asset Management’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 (631) 361-4925.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Draper Asset Management allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be
recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Draper Asset Management 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.
Draper Asset Management does not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Draper Asset Management 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 described in the Code of Ethics. 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. 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 Draper Asset Management 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 Draper Asset Management allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be
recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded
afterwards. At no time will Draper Asset Management, or any Supervised Person of Draper Asset Management,
transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Draper Asset Management 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 Draper Asset Management to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the
investment advisory agreement. Further, Draper Asset Management does not have the discretionary authority to
negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where Draper Asset Management does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may
recommend the Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the
Custodian recommended by the Advisor and will not incur any extra fee or cost associated with using a custodian not
Draper Asset Management LLC
116 Terry Road, #16, Smithtown, NY 11787
Phone: (631) 361-4925
Page 9
https://www.draperasset.com/
recommended by Draper Asset Management. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if
the recommended Custodian is not engaged. Draper Asset Management may recommend the Custodian based on
criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to
the Client, and its reputation and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices.
The Advisor currently recommends that Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”),
a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Schwab will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian”. The
Advisor maintains an institutional relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits. Please
see Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation below. The following are additional details regarding the
brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor enters
into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and other
services. Draper Asset Management does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any
broker-dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian.
Please see Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - Draper Asset Management does not receive any compensation from any third party in
connection with the recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where Draper Asset Management
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]). Draper Asset Management will not
be obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest
available transaction costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution,
4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. Draper Asset Management will execute its transactions
through the Custodian as authorized by the Client. Draper Asset Management may aggregate orders in a block trade
or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the
same trading day. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually
purchased or sold by the close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial
pre-allocation or other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or
disadvantage any particular Clients’ accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Robert Draper Jr., Chief Compliance
Officer of Draper Asset Management. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually.
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least annually.
Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result of major
changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or
withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify Draper Asset Management if changes occur
in the Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews
may be triggered by material market, economic or political events.

C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage statements
are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the Custodian’s
website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage statements will include
all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s].
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by Draper Asset Management
Draper Asset Management is a fee-based advisory firm, that is compensated solely by its Clients and not from any
investment product. Draper Asset Management does not receive commissions or other compensation from product
sponsors, broker-dealers or any un-related third party. Draper Asset Management may refer Clients to various
unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g. attorneys, accountants, estate planners) to provide certain financial
services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients. Likewise, Draper Asset Management may receive non-
compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
The Advisor has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a
division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like the Advisor. As a registered investment
advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, the Advisor receives access to software and related
support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that maintain assets
at Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor and many, but not all services
provided by Schwab will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put
the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a
custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits can influence the Advisor's recommendation of Schwab
over a custodian that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of
investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through
Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be able
to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds and
other investments without having to adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the Client were to
directly access the investments.
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab may provide participating advisors with access to technology,
research, discounts and other services such as deducting advisory fees directly and providing access to Client
statements. In addition, the Advisor has access to duplicate statements for Client accounts, the ability to deduct
advisory fees, trading tools, and back office support services as part of its relationship with Schwab. These services
are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for its Clients, but may not directly benefit each
Client.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab may also offer other services to the Advisor that may not benefit
the Client, including: educational conferences and events, consulting services and discounts for various service
providers. Access to these services creates an incentive for the Advisor to recommend Schwab, which results in a
potential conflict of interest. The Advisor currently believes, however, that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in
the best interests of its Clients.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for Client
referrals.

Item 15 – Custody
The Advisor is authorized to deduct its fees from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Client must place all
assets with a “qualified custodian”. The Client is required to engage the Custodian to retain all funds and securities
and direct the Advisor to utilize that Custodian for security transactions in the account[s]. The Client should review
statements provided by the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For more information about
custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
If the Client gives the Advisor authority to move money from one account to another account, the Advisor may have
custody of those assets. In order to avoid additional regulatory requirements, the Custodian and the Advisor have
policies and procedures to ensure that the money movements are completed in accordance with the Client’s
instructions.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Draper Asset Management has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client
accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be
subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to
by Draper Asset Management. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The
granting of such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory agreement containing
all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Draper Asset Management will be in
accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Draper Asset Management does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy
statements directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however,
the Client retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Draper Asset Management, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably
impair the ability of Draper Asset Management to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Draper Asset
Management, nor any of its Advisory Persons, have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Draper
Asset Management is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does
not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for services to be performed six months or more in the future.
