Item 4: Advisory Business
A. DWR Wealth Management, LLC (the “Adviser,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an investment adviser
founded in 2005, registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and
principally owned by David Rex Rousselot, Ricky D. Dunham, Tracy L. Newquist, and Daniel L.
Dunham.
B. Adviser offers the following types of advisory services:
i.
Discretionary Investment Management. Adviser provides ongoing discretionary and
non-discretionary investment management services to its clients based upon each client’s
current financial condition, goals, risk tolerance, income, liquidity requirements,
investment time horizon, and other information that is relevant to the management of
clients’ account(s). This information will then be used to make investment decisions that
reflect clients’ individual needs and objectives on an initial and ongoing basis. Adviser’s
investment decisions and recommendations will allocate portions of clients’ account(s) to
various asset classes classified according to historical and projected risks and rates of
return. When granted discretionary trading authority, Adviser will retain the discretion to
buy, sell, or otherwise transact in securities and other investments in a client’s accounts
without first receiving the client’s specific approval for each transaction. Such
discretionary authority is granted by a client in his or her investment management
agreement with Adviser. When granted non-discretionary trading authority, clients shall
remain responsible for authorizing Adviser’s allocation and trading recommendations in
advance of their implementation. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain
securities or types of securities so long as such restrictions may reasonably be
implemented by Adviser.
Adviser generally implements its investments strategy by allocating clients’ investable
assets across a diversified risk-based portfolio of no-load mutual funds and/or exchange
traded funds (“ETFs”).
ii.
Financial Planning. When rendering financial planning services (which may be provided
either in connection with investment management services or as a standalone service),
Adviser will evaluate and make recommendations with respect to various financial
planning topics that are relevant to a particular client. Such topics can include, for
example, retirement planning, education savings, cash flow management, debt reduction,
estate planning, insurance needs, risk mitigation, tax planning, charitable giving
strategies, and/or financial goal tracking. Implementation of Adviser’s recommendations
will be at the discretion of the client.
When rendering financial planning services, a conflict exists between Adviser’s interests
and the interests of its clients; clients are under no obligation to act upon Adviser’s
financial planning recommendations. If a client elects to act on any of the
recommendations made by Adviser, the client is under no obligation to effect the
transaction through Adviser or any of its personnel.
i.
Selection of other investment advisers. From time to time and when appropriate for a
particular client, Adviser will recommend or retain an independent and unaffiliated
third-party investment adviser (“Third-Party Adviser”) to manage all or a portion of a
client’s portfolio. Third-Party Advisers are evaluated based on a variety of factors, not the
least of which include performance return history, asset class specialization, management
tenure, and risk profile. Adviser will conduct due diligence as appropriate to confirm that
such Third-Party Advisers are duly registered and otherwise well-equipped to manage
such clients’ accounts. Adviser generally retains the discretionary authority to hire or fire
such Third-Party Advisers with or without notice to the client.

Date of Brochure: February 09, 2026
iii.
Pension Consulting Services. To the extent Adviser is retained by a pension or profit
sharing plan (a “Plan”), Adviser shall review the Plan’s investment objectives, risk
tolerance, and goals, and shall work in partnership with applicable third-parties (such as
the Plan’s recordkeeper, third-party administrator, and/or discretionary investment
manager) to establish an appropriate investment policy statement and deploy applicable
investment options into the Plan’s account. Adviser shall periodically review the
investment options available to the Plan and, if applicable, will make recommendations to
assist the Plan with respect to the selection of the Plan’s qualified default investment
alternative (“QDIA”). Adviser will provide reports, information and recommendations, on a
reasonably requested basis, to assist the Plan in monitoring the selected investments. If
elected by the Plan, Adviser may also provide various services related to the Plan’s
governance, the education of Plan participants, and the review of other service providers
to the Plan. In connection with Plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”) Adviser acknowledges that it is a fiduciary under ERISA
and the Code, shall render prudent investment advice that is in Plan’s best interest, shall
avoid making misleading statements, and shall receive no more than reasonable
compensation.
C. Adviser does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
D. When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts
with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest
and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
i. Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give

prudent advice);
Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give
loyal advice);
Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your
best interest;
Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
v.
vi. Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
E. Adviser manages the following amount of discretionary and non-discretionary client assets
calculated as of December 31, 2025:

Item 5: Fees and Compensation
A. Adviser is compensated for its advisory services primarily by fees charged based on a client’s
assets under management with Adviser. For clients that do not wish to engage Adviser to provide
ongoing portfolio management or advisory services, Adviser alternatively offers financial planning
and consulting services on an hourly basis at $300 per hour, with an 8 hour minimum, subject to
negotiation with a client. In lieu of the hourly fee, we may negotiate a one-time flat fee ranging
from $2,400 - $6,000. The annual fee for Adviser’s retirement plan services typically ranges from
0.10% to 1.00% per annum based on plan assets under our advisement. Retirement plan fees
are charged on a quarterly basis, in arrears, and based on the assets under management as of
the last day of the calendar quarter. Fees are negotiable, and each client’s specific fee schedule
is included as part of the investment advisory agreement signed by Adviser and the client.
Adviser’s standard investment management fee schedule is included below, subject to
negotiation with a client:
Client Assets Under Management
For the first amount from $0.00 to $500,000.00
For the next amount from $500,000.01 to $1,000,000.00
For the next amount from $1,000,000.01 to $2,000,000.00
For the next amount from $2,000,000.01 to $5,000,000.00
For the next amount from $5,000.000.01 and above
Annual Fee Percentage
(paid quarterly)
1.00%
0.80%
0.60%
0.50%
0.40%
B. The fee schedule above is a ‘tiered’ or ‘blended’ fee schedule, which means that different annual
fee percentages will apply to different ranges of client assets under Adviser’s management. Fees
are deducted in arrears on a quarterly basis from clients’ assets and based upon the market
value of such assets managed by Adviser as of the last day of the prior calendar quarter.
Outstanding margin balances and cash are included in the assets upon which fees are assessed.
Alternatively, clients may elect to pay Adviser’s fees via check.
C. In addition to the fees charged by Adviser, clients will incur brokerage and other transaction costs.
Please refer to Item 12: Brokerage Practices, for further information on such brokerage and other
transaction-related practices. Clients will also typically incur additional fees and expenses
imposed by independent and unaffiliated third-parties, which can include qualified custodian fees,
mutual fund or exchange traded fund fees and expenses, mark-ups and mark-downs, spreads
paid to market makers, wire transfer fees, check-writing fees, early-redemption charges, certain
deferred sales charges on previously-purchased mutual funds, margin fees, charges or interest,
IRA and qualified retirement plan fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and
securities transactions. These additional charges are separate and apart from the fees charged
by Adviser.
D. If Adviser or client terminates the advisory agreement before the end of a quarterly billing period,
the pro rata fees earned through the effective date of the termination will be billed to the client.
E. Neither Adviser nor any of its supervised persons accepts compensation for the sale of securities
or other investment products.

Item 6: Performance-Based Fees & Side-By-Side
Management
Neither Adviser nor any of its supervised persons accepts performance-based fees (fees based on a
share of capital gains or capital appreciation of the assets of a client). Neither Adviser nor any of its
supervised persons engage in side-by-side management.
Page 7 of 20
Date of Brochure: February 09, 2026
Item 7: Types of Clients
Adviser generally provides its services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, business entities,
charitable organizations, and pension and profit sharing plans. The minimum account value required to
open and maintain an account with Adviser is $250,000, subject to negotiation.
Page 8 of 20
Date of Brochure: February 09, 2026
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies & Risk
of Loss
A. The investment strategies used by Adviser when formulating investment advice or managing
assets include asset allocation models based on modern portfolio theory. The Investment models
range from conservative balanced to a pure equity model. Investing in securities involves risk of
loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Past performance does not guarantee future returns.
B. Like any investment strategy, modern portfolio theory involves material risks. Such material risks
are described in further detail below:
i.
Investing for the long term means that a client’s account will be exposed to short-term
fluctuations in the market and the behavioral impulse to make trading decisions based on
such short-term market fluctuations. Adviser does not condone short-term trading in an
attempt to “time” the market, and instead coaches clients to remain committed to their
financial goals. However, investing for the long term can expose clients to risks borne out
of changes to interest rates, inflation, general economic conditions, market cycles,
geopolitical shifts, and regulatory changes.
ii.
Inflation risk is the risk that the value of a client’s portfolio will not appreciate at least in an
amount equal to inflation over time. General micro- and macro-economic conditions may
also affect the value of the securities held in a client’s portfolio, and general economic
downturns can trigger corresponding losses across various asset classes and security
types. Market cycles may cause overall volatility and fluctuations in a portfolio’s value,
and may increase the likelihood that securities are purchased when values are
comparatively high and/or that securities are sold when values are comparatively low.
Geopolitical shifts may result in market uncertainty, lowered expected returns, and
general volatility in both domestic and international securities. Regulatory changes may
have a negative impact on capital formation and increase the costs of doing business,
and therefore result in decreased corporate profits and corresponding market values of
securities.
iii.
Investing in mutual funds does not guarantee a return on investment, and shareholders of
a mutual fund may lose the principal that they’ve invested into a particular mutual fund.
Mutual funds invest into underlying securities that comprise the mutual fund, and as such
clients are exposed to the risks arising from such underlying securities. Mutual funds
charge internal expenses to their shareholders (which can include management fees,
administration fees, shareholder servicing fees, sales loads, redemption fees, and other
fund fees and expenses, e.g.), and such internal expenses subtract from its potential for
market appreciation. Shares of mutual funds may only be traded at their stated net asset
value (“NAV”), calculated at the end of each day upon the market’s close.
Investing in ETFs bears similar risks and incurs similar costs to investing in mutual funds
as described above. However, shares of an ETF may be traded like stocks on the open
market and are not redeemable at an NAV. As such, the value of an ETF may fluctuate
throughout the day and investors will be subject to the cost associated with the bid-ask
spread (the difference between the price a buyer is willing to pay (bid) for an ETF and the
seller's offering (asking) price).
Clients are encouraged to carefully read the prospectus of any mutual fund or ETF to be
purchased for investment to obtain a full understanding of its respective risks and costs.
iv.
Investments in private investment vehicles are often subject to liquidity restrictions, which
means that a client may not be able to redeem his or her investment until a redemption
Page 9 of 20
Date of Brochure: February 09, 2026
window is available. In addition, such investments can be more volatile and less
transparent than an exchange-listed security that trades daily in an electronic
marketplace. Private investment vehicles are generally more difficult to value than
exchange-listed securities, and therefore are more reliant on individual judgment as
opposed to market prices when determining a valuation. Investors into private investment
vehicles are typically required to be either accredited investors, qualified clients, or both,
and should carefully consider the specific risks described in the applicable private
placement memorandum, limited partnership agreement, and other fund-related
disclosure documents.

Item 9: Disciplinary Information
There are no legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client’s or prospective client’s evaluation of
Adviser’s advisory business or the integrity of Adviser’s management.
Page 11 of 20

Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities & Affiliations
A. Neither Adviser nor any of its management persons are registered, or have an application
pending to register, as a broker-dealer or a registered representative of a broker-dealer.
B. Neither Adviser nor any of its management persons are registered, or have an application
pending to register, as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity
trading advisor, or an associated person of the foregoing entities.
C. Neither Adviser nor any of its management persons have any relationship or arrangement with
any related person below:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
vi.
vii.
viii.
ix.
x.
broker-dealer, municipal securities dealer, or government securities dealer or broker
investment company or other pooled investment vehicle (including a mutual fund,
closed-end investment company, unit investment trust, private investment company or
“hedge fund,” and offshore fund)
other investment adviser or financial planner
futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading advisor
banking or thrift institution
lawyer or law firm
insurance company or agency
pension consultant
real estate broker or dealer
sponsor or syndicator of limited partnerships
D. Dunham Associates CPAs, Inc. (“DA CPAs”) is a CPA firm offering tax preparation services that is
under common control with Adviser. Rick Dunham, an investment adviser representatives of
Adviser, is also a CPA with DA CPAs. DA CPAs is separate and distinct from Adviser; however, it
is anticipated that some clients of DA CPAs will become clients of Adviser, and some clients of
Adviser will become clients of DA CPAs. This presents a conflict of interest due to the additional
compensation that will be earned to the extent clients retain both the services of Adviser and DA
CPAs. Adviser addresses this conflict of interest by fully disclosing it in this brochure, by informing
clients that they are under no obligation to retain the services of DA CPAs, and by informing
clients that they are free to retain any accountant or other third-party they deem fit for the
provision of tax preparation services.
E. As described earlier in Item 4 of this brochure, Adviser retains the authority to recommend or
retain one or more Third-Party Advisers to provide investment advisory, administrative, and other
back-office services to Adviser for the benefit of Adviser and its clients. Adviser does not receive
any compensation directly from such Third-Party Adviser, but they do offer services that are
intended to directly benefit Adviser, clients, or both. Such services include (a) an online platform
through which Adviser can monitor and review client accounts, create model portfolios, and
perform other client account maintenance matters, (b) access to technology that allows for client
account aggregation, (c) quarterly client statements, (d) invitations to educational conferences,
(e) practice management consulting, (f) full or partial sponsorship of client appreciation or
education events, and (g) occasional business meals and entertainment. The availability of such
services from a Third-Party Adviser creates a conflict of interest, to the extent Adviser may be
motivated to retain a Third-Party Adviser as opposed to an alternative turnkey asset management
provider (or to not retain one at all). Adviser addresses this conflict of interest by performing
appropriate due diligence on Third-Party Advisers to confirm their respective services are in the
best interests of clients, periodically evaluating alternatives, and evaluating the merit of
Third-Party Advisers without consideration for the benefits received by Adviser.
Page 12 of 20
Date of Brochure: February 09, 2026
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions & Personal Trading
A. Adviser has adopted a code of ethics that will be provided to any client or prospective client upon
request. Adviser’s code of ethics describes the standards of business conduct that Adviser
requires of its supervised persons, which is reflective of Adviser’s fiduciary obligations to act in
the best interests of its clients. The code of ethics also includes sections related to compliance
with securities laws, reporting of personal securities transactions and holdings, reporting of
violations of the code of ethics to Adviser’s Chief Compliance Officer, pre-approval of certain
investments by access persons, and the distribution of the code of ethics and any amendments to
all supervised persons followed by a written acknowledgement of their receipt.
B. Neither Adviser nor any of its related persons recommends to clients, or buys or sells for client
accounts, securities in which Adviser or any of its related persons has a material financial
interest.
C. From time to time, Adviser or its related persons will invest in the same securities (or related
securities such as warrants, options or futures) that Adviser or a related person recommends to
clients. This has the potential to create a conflict of interest because it affords Adviser or its
related persons the opportunity to profit from the investment recommendations made to clients.
Adviser’s policies and procedures and code of ethics address this potential conflict of interest by
prohibiting such trading by Adviser or its related persons if it would be to the detriment of any
client and by monitoring for compliance through the reporting and review of personal securities
transactions. In all instances Adviser will act in the best interests of its clients.
D. From time to time, Adviser or its related persons will buy or sell securities for client accounts at or
about the same time that Adviser or a related person buys or sells the same securities for its own
(or the related person’s own) account. This has the potential to create a conflict of interest
because it affords Adviser or its related persons the opportunity to trade either before or after the
trade is made in client accounts, and profit as a result. Adviser’s policies and procedures and
code of ethics address this potential conflict of interest by prohibiting such trading by Adviser or
its related persons if it would be to the detriment of any client and by monitoring for compliance
through the reporting and review of personal securities transactions. In all instances Adviser will
act in the best interests of its clients.
Page 13 of 20
Date of Brochure: February 09, 2026
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
A. Adviser considers several factors when recommending a custodial broker-dealer for client
transactions and determining the reasonableness of such custodial broker-dealer’s
compensation. Such factors include the custodial broker-dealer’s industry reputation and financial
stability, service quality and responsiveness, execution price, speed and accuracy, reporting
abilities, and general expertise. Assessing these factors as a whole allows Adviser to fulfill its duty
to seek best execution for its clients’ securities transactions. However, Adviser does not
guarantee that the custodial broker-dealer recommended for client transactions will necessarily
provide the best possible price, as price is not the sole factor considered when seeking best
execution. After considering the factors above, Adviser generally recommends National Financial
Services LLC and Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (collectively, and together with all affiliates,
"Fidelity") as the custodial broker-dealers for client accounts.
i.
Adviser does not receive research and other soft dollar benefits in connection with client
securities transactions, which are known as “soft dollar benefits”. However, the custodial
broker-dealer(s) recommended by Adviser do provide certain products and services that
are intended to directly benefit Adviser, clients, or both. Such products and services
include (a) an online platform through which Adviser can monitor and review client
accounts, (b) access to proprietary technology that allows for order entry, (c) duplicate
statements for client accounts and confirmations for client transactions, (d) invitations to
the custodial broker-dealer(s)’ educational conferences, (e) practice management
consulting, and (f) occasional business meals and entertainment.
The receipt of these products and services creates a conflict of interest to the extent it
causes Adviser to recommend Fidelity as opposed to a comparable custodial
broker-dealer. Adviser addresses this conflict of interest by fully disclosing it in this
brochure, evaluating Fidelity based on the value and quality of its services as realized by
clients, and by periodically evaluating alternative broker-dealers to recommend.
ii.
Adviser does not consider, in selecting or recommending custodial broker-dealers,
whether Adviser or a related person receives client referrals from a custodial
broker-dealer or third-party.
iii.
Adviser does not routinely recommend, request, or require that a client direct Adviser to
execute transactions through a specified custodial broker-dealer other than Fidelity.
B. Adviser retains the ability to aggregate the purchase and sale of securities for clients’ accounts
with the goal of seeking more efficient execution and more consistent results across accounts.
Aggregated trading instructions will not be placed if it would result in increased administrative and
other costs, custodial burdens, or other disadvantages. If client trades are aggregated by Adviser,
such aggregation will be done so as not to disadvantage any client and to treat all clients as fairly
and equally as possible.
Page 14 of 20
Date of Brochure: February 09, 2026
Item 13: Review of Accounts
A. The Managing Member of Adviser monitors client accounts on an ongoing basis, and typically
reviews client accounts on an annual basis. Such reviews are designed to ensure that the client is
still on track to achieve his or her financial goals, and that the investments remain appropriate
given the client’s risk tolerance, investment objectives, major life events, and other factors.
Clients are encouraged to proactively reach out to Adviser to discuss any changes to their
personal or financial situation.
B. Other factors that may trigger a review include, but are not limited to, material developments in
market conditions, material geopolitical events, and changes to a client’s personal or financial
situation (the birth of a child, preparing for a home purchase, plans to attend higher education, a
job transition, impending retirement, death or disability among family members, etc.).
C. The custodial broker-dealer will send account statements and reports directly to clients no less
frequently than quarterly. Such statements and reports will be mailed to clients at their address of
record or delivered electronically, depending on the client’s election. If agreed to by Adviser and
client, Adviser or a third-party report provider will also send clients reports to assist them in
understanding their account positions and performance, as well as the progress toward achieving
financial goals.

Date of Brochure: February 09, 2026
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Nobody other than clients provides an economic benefit to Adviser for providing investment
advice or other advisory services to clients. However, as described above in Item 12, the
custodial broker-dealer(s) recommended for client accounts provides certain products and
services that are intended to directly benefit Adviser, clients, or both.
B. Neither Adviser nor a related person directly or indirectly compensates a person who is not
Adviser’s supervised person for client referrals.
Page 16 of 20
Date of Brochure: February 09, 2026
Item 15: Custody
For clients that do not have their fees deducted directly from their account(s) and have not provided
Adviser with any standing letters of authorization to distribute funds from their account(s), Adviser will not
have any custody of client funds or securities.
For clients that have their fees deducted directly from their account(s) or that have provided Adviser with
discretion as to amount and timing of disbursements pursuant to a standing letter of authorization to
disburse funds from their account(s), Adviser will typically be deemed to have limited custody over such
clients’ funds or securities pursuant to the SEC’s custody rule and subsequent guidance thereto. At no
time will Adviser accept full custody of client funds or securities in the capacity of a custodial
broker-dealer, and at all times client accounts will be held by a third-party qualified custodian as described
in Item 12, above.
With respect to custody that is triggered by third party SLOAs, Adviser endeavors to comply with the
following seven conditions as listed in the 2017 SEC No Action Letter to the Investment Adviser
Association:
1. The client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that includes the client’s
signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or the third party’s account
number at a custodian to which the transfer should be directed.
2. The client authorizes the investment adviser, in writing, either on the qualified custodian’s form or
separately, to direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or from time to time.
3. The client’s qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction, such as a
signature review or other method to verify the client’s authorization, and provides a transfer of
funds notice to the client promptly after each transfer.
4. The client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the client’s qualified custodian.
5. The investment adviser has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third
party, the address, or any other information about the third party contained in the client’s
instruction.
6. The investment adviser maintains records showing that the third party is not a related party of the
investment adviser or located at the same address as the investment adviser.
7. The client’s qualified custodian sends the client, in writing, an initial notice confirming the
instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
If a client receives account statements from both the custodial broker-dealer and Adviser or a third-party
report provider, client is urged to compare such account statements and advise Adviser of any
discrepancies between them.
Page 17 of 20
Date of Brochure: February 09, 2026
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Adviser accepts discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of clients only pursuant
to the mutual written agreement of Adviser and the client through a power-of-attorney, which is typically
contained in the advisory agreement signed by Adviser and the client. This includes the authority to buy,
sell, and otherwise transact in securities and other investment products in client’s account(s) without
necessarily consulting with clients in advance. Clients may place reasonable limitations on this
discretionary authority so long as it is contained in a written agreement and/or power-of-attorney.
Page 18 of 20
Date of Brochure: February 09, 2026
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
A. Adviser does not have and will not accept authority to vote client securities.
B. Clients will receive their proxies or other solicitations directly from their custodial broker-dealer or
a transfer agent, as applicable, and should direct any inquiries regarding such proxies or other
solicitations directly to the sender.
Page 19 of 20
Date of Brochure: February 09, 2026
Item 18: Financial Information
A. Adviser does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months
or more in advance.
B. Adviser has no financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet contractual
commitments to clients.
C. Adviser has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years.
