ADVISORY BUSINESS Item 4
Eagle Capital Advisors, LLC (Eagle) is an independent employee-owned investment
management firm dedicated to serving the individual investment needs of our clients by
providing independent, objective, and customized asset management services.
The firm was formed in November 2014 as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) under the laws
of the State of Connecticut. We are registered as an investment advisory firm with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) and are regulated by state and federal securities laws.
In this brochure, the words, “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Eagle and the words “you,” “your,”
and “client” refer to you as either a client or prospective client of our firm. In addition, you may
see the term Access Person throughout this brochure. As used in this brochure, our Access
Persons are our firm’s officers, employees, and all individuals providing investment advice on
behalf of our firm.
Our primary business is portfolio management. We have a direct, personal relationship with
our clients and establish investment strategies and portfolios tailored to their unique
circumstances. As of December 31, 2025, discretionary assets under management totaled
$102,973,611.
We’re privately owned, and that independence allows us to be completely objective as we
search for and evaluate opportunities for our clients. Our independence and singular business
focus frees us of distractions and enables us to focus on what really matters; preserving and
enhancing our client’s assets. We encourage collaboration and cooperation among each of our
client’s trusted advisors, because we believe that a coordinated plan greatly improves the
likelihood of achieving our client’s goals.
Though Eagle provides investment advice regarding many types of securities, our focus is on
building client investment portfolios through the purchase of individual bonds and equities in
order to provide maximum tax efficiency and to avoid the layering of fees.
Depending on the client’s needs and preferences, portfolios may be balanced or dedicated to a
particular market segment such as domestic equity or taxable fixed income. We will work with
clients who have portfolio, tax, or risk management issues to design a portfolio tailored to their
circumstances. Should clients choose, they can direct us to purchase, hold, or avoid specific
securities, industries, or asset classes.
4
FEES AND COMPENSATION Item 5
Eagle is compensated by the fees paid by our clients. These fees are based on the assets under
our management. Our standard annual fees are 1% on the first $3 million of assets under
management and ¾ of 1% on the balance, payable quarterly. We retain the discretion to
negotiate alternative fees on a client-by-client basis. Client circumstances are considered in
determining the fee schedule, including the complexity of the relationship, the specific assets to
be placed under management, anticipated future additional assets, and related accounts, among
other factors. The specific annual fee schedule is described in the contract between the adviser
and each client.
We may group certain related client accounts for the purposes of determining fees.
Fees are normally deducted directly from accounts. Our fees are paid within thirty days
following the beginning of the quarter for which said fees will be incurred, based on the account
value on the last day of the previous quarter.
Clients may incur additional expenses for investment, brokerage, and custody services charged
by third parties. Examples of fees that could be incurred include but are not limited to the
following:
•Brokerage fees paid directly to the brokers for specific transactions
•Mark ups/mark downs on fixed income transactions by the broker
•Custodial fees paid to the client’s custodian
•Mutual fund fees and expenses charged within the funds
•Wire transfer fees
•Early settlement charges
•Margin interest
At the inception of the relationship and each quarter thereafter, we will notify your custodian of
the amount of the fee due and payable to us through our fee schedule and contract. The
custodian does not validate or check our fee, its calculation, or the assets on which the fee is
based. They will “deduct” the fee from your account(s) or, if you have more than one account,
from the account you have designated to pay our advisory fees.
Each month, you will receive a statement directly from your custodian showing all transactions,
positions, and credits / debits into or from your account; the statements after the quarter-end
will reflect these transactions, including the advisory fee paid by you to us.
5
ACCOUNT CLOSURE Item 6
Eagle or the client may terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement at any time by written
notice. We don’t charge account cancellation fees and all prepaid fees are returned on a pro-
rata basis.
PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BYSIDE Item 7
Eagle does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of returns).
6
TYPES OF CLIENTS Item 8
We provide our services to a range of clients:
• High net worth individuals and their related entities. Related entities include personal,
trust, IRA, and retirement accounts. We may also manage family limited partnerships,
family foundations and employee benefit plans related to a client’s business. Trust
accounts include revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, estates, and guardianships.
• Endowments, foundations, and other charitable organizations
• Corporations and other businesses
• Pension and profit sharing plans
METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES & RISK OF LOSS Item 9
Investment Philosophy
Why do investors invest? We believe that protecting and growing the real (inflation –adjusted)
purchasing power of our client’s assets and future cash flow streams is a core objective. With
that premise as a starting point, we work hard to understand the individual goals and unique
circumstances of our clients, and we incorporate that understanding into each decision we
make. At the outset of each relationship, we discuss these objectives and recommend how we
would approach achieving them, so that our experience together is based upon a shared
understanding of what we can offer and what the client can expect.
We further believe that asset allocation explains the bulk of a portfolio’s forecasted and actual
volatility and return. Armed with a clear understanding of each client’s goals and constraints,
we are in a better position to design an investment policy that creates an efficient combination
of risk and expected return, within the context of those goals and constraints. Once we’ve
defined appropriate asset allocation ranges for each asset class, the exact mix of assets at any
point in time will be based on our judgment of the current relative attractiveness of each asset
class. Then, once our best security ideas are identified, we apply portfolio construction
disciplines that help us produce the combination of those ideas that represent an efficient
balance between expected excess return and risk. Security selection will be the primary source
of returns relative to the corresponding index, but portfolio strategy will also incorporate
portfolio manager’s views on industry, style, and size biases consistent with each client’s overall
risk tolerance.
7
In some cases, if the size of the portfolio or a particular portfolio segment is small, that portfolio
or segment may be constructed using mutual funds or some other type of collective fund.
This is done to maximize diversification and control transaction costs when the use of
individual issues would be inefficient.
Primary Risks: Our market assumptions may be wrong. Returns may not meet client objectives
and actual losses may result.
Equity Investment Strategy
At the core of our approach to investment management is a commitment to rigorous
quantitative and qualitative research. In our opinion, thoughtful security selection, driven by a
disciplined and consistently applied research process, is a reliable and repeatable way to
achieve desirable results over time for our clients. Our experience combined with our process
produces independent insight and gives us the confidence to challenge the consensus.
We seek favorable results by consistently and objectively apply our selection criteria to help us
identify and evaluate leading companies in growing industries. We employ a systematic
approach to looking at ideas. We combine fundamentally driven portfolio manager insight with
a quantitative ranking process that includes quality, valuation, and momentum based factors.
Although the public equity market tends to be efficient over time, it is possible to gain an
advantage through disciplined stock selection and portfolio construction.
When evaluating a company for potential investment, we find it helpful to deconstruct its
‘value chain’ from suppliers to end markets. This granular view of a business’s environment
forms the basis necessary to make judgments regarding a company’s expected growth and
profitability. We pay particular attention to the ‘quality’ of a company’s’ revenue growth – its
consistency, the degree to which it is recurring, and the degree to which the opportunity is
penetrated, etc. We seek free cash flow growth and capital discipline as much as we do earnings
growth. The combination of above average free cash flow yield and above average return on
invested capital interests us. We compare our judgment of the sustainability of these key
advantages with that implied by the stock’s valuation. By understanding what assumptions are
required by the market, we can assess whether they are reasonable. Without this understanding,
it is difficult to put news flow in the proper context and evaluate the appropriateness of market
reaction.
We attempt to arbitrage differences in time horizons between our clients and the short-term
reactionary herd approach of many institutions. As they chase short term performance,
institutions can be prone to overreacting, positively or negatively, to information that has little
or no bearing upon the long term prospects of a business. Our client’s time horizons are
normally longer than a quarter or two, and this mismatch can create valuation anomalies that
we can attempt to identify and capitalize on for our clients.
8
Primary Risks: The analysis of the company or stock may overlook or deemphasize factors that
may ultimately impact performance. Historical information may not be useful in evaluating
future results. Expectations for company performance or economic conditions may be incorrect.
Information provided by individual companies, data providers or analysts may be inaccurate
either deliberately or inadvertently. Our investment style may become out of favor; companies
with fundamental operating and financial strength may not provide superior returns in some
market environments when lower quality, cyclical companies are being favored.
Fixed Income Investment Strategy
Our approach toward investing in fixed income securities is geared toward adding stability to
clients’ portfolios, dependable cash flows, and predictable rates of return with below average
interest rate risk. We prefer to invest in specific individual bonds rather than bond funds, as
funds lack the certainty of a fixed coupon rate, a maturity date, a maturity value, and a fixed
yield to maturity, while adding an additional layer of fees. Our approach favors controlling
interest rate risk by keeping durations relatively short and by emphasizing credits with
predictable cash flows and/or substantial assets to support their indebtedness. Simply, our
approach trades interest rate risk (for which we don’t feel we have a forecasting advantage) for
a measured level of credit risk (which we are more confident in evaluating). Further, especially
in the current rate environment, we do not believe that investors are adequately compensated
for the incremental risk associated with longer maturities.
Primary Risks: Credit quality may not be assessed properly. Interest rate projections may be
incorrect. Unusual relative valuation relationships may persist.
General Investment Risk:
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. These risks
can relate to the risks of the financial markets in general; the risk the portfolio constructed does
not perform as well as benchmarks; the risk of structural market failures, financial panics, and
liquidity crises; and the macro economic effects of government policies and geopolitical events.
Investment results will vary and cannot be guaranteed. When securities are sold they may be
worth more or less than what they were purchased for, which means that you could lose
money.
Many factors affect portfolio performance. Portfolio values change daily based on changes in
market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial
developments. A portfolio’s reaction to these events will be influenced by the types of securities
it holds, the issuer’s underlying financial condition, industry and economic sector matters along
with the geographic location of an issuer, and the relative level of an investment in the
securities. The following are some of the factors that can affect a portfolio’s performance:
9
Market Volatility: The value of equity and fixed income securities fluctuate in response to issuer,
political, market, and economic developments. Fluctuations can be acute over the short as well
as long term. Several parts of the market and different types of securities can react differently to
these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks,
and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Events can affect a single issuer,
issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole.
The financial condition of a single issuer can impact the market as a whole.
Interest Rate Changes: Fixed income (debt) securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes
in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can
rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and mortgage securities can be
more sensitive to interest rate changes.
Foreign Exposure: Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities
with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic,
or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign
currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational
risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign
markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging
markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments.
Issuer-Specific Change: Changes in the financial condition of an issuer, changes in specific
economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in
general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer, which can
affect a security's credit quality or value. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known
issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers. Lower-quality debt securities (those of
less than investment grade quality) and certain types of other securities tend to be particularly
sensitive to these changes.
10
DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION Item 10
We are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events
that would be material in evaluating Eagle Capital Advisors, LLC or the integrity of its
management. There have been no such legal or disciplinary findings against any of
Eagle’s employees or its owners.
ACTIVITIES & AFFILIATIONS
OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY Item 11
Eagle is not engaged in any other financial industry activities other than giving investment
advice. We do not sell products or services other than investment advice to its clients. We do not
have any arrangements that are material to its advisory business or its clients with a related
person who is a broker-dealer, investment company, other investment adviser, financial
planning firm, futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, commodity trading
adviser, bank or thrift institution, accounting firm, law firm, insurance company or agency,
pension consultant, real estate broker or dealer or an entity that creates or packages limited
partnerships.
11
CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS
& PERSONAL TRAINING Item 12
Eagle’s Code of Ethics (“Code”) is based upon the following principles: (1) We will always
place the interest of our clients ahead of the interest of the firm or ourselves; (2) Our personal
securities transactions will be conducted to avoid any actual or apparent conflicts of interest, or
any abuse of our position of trust and responsibility; and (3) We will not take advantage of our
positions to the detriment of clients. The Code imposes trading restrictions as well as
restrictions on the receipt of gifts.
Eagle Capital Advisors has adopted a code of ethics t h a t establishes the standards of
business conduct that Eagle Capital Advisors and its Employees must follow and addresses
potential or actual conflicts of interest, personal in vesti n g and other investment related
activities and compliance with applicable law. With respect to personal investing, the
Ethics Code requires each Employee to: (I) submit initial and annual reports disclosing
personal securities holdings and quarterly reports disclosing personal securities transactions
for the calendar quarter, and (2) o b s e r v e certain specific trading restrictions as set forth
in the Ethics Code. The Ethics Code also addresses policies and procedures regarding other
business and personal activities.
The Ethics Code is contained in Appendix III of Eagle’s Compliance Manual. A complete copy
of the Code is available on request to clients and prospective clients. The following is a brief
description of the most significant policies and procedures that are included in the Ethics
Code:
Standards of Business Conduct and General Prohibition. This section of the Ethics Code relates to
the general principles that assist Eagle Capital Advisors and our Employees in meeting our
fiduciary obligations to our Clients.
Prevention of Insider Trading. This section of the Ethics Code relates to the prohibition from
trading Securities - including equity and debt Securities and derivative instruments - for
ourselves or for others (including our Clients) based on "inside information" or disseminating
inside information to others who may use that knowledge to trade securities (so-called
"tipping").
12
These prohibitions apply to all Employees and extend to activities within and outside of an
employee's duties at Eagle Capital Advisors.
• Prohibition against any personal trading that may disadvantage
clients.
• Personal Securities Holdings and Transactions. This section sets
forth the policies and procedures that require Employees to
disclose personal Securities holdings to Eagle Capital Advisors
upon commencement of employment and annually thereafter and
personal Securities transactions on a quarterly basis.
• Gifts and Entertainment. This section sets forth Eagle Capital
Advisors’ policy regarding the giving and receiving of gifts and
attendance at the entertainment events.
• Acknowledgement by Employees. Each Employee will be required
to acknowledge that he or she has received and understands the
Ethics Code and will and has (with respect to existing Employees)
complied with the Ethics Code and each subsequent amendment.
Adherence to the policies and procedures set forth in the Ethics Code is the responsibility of
each Employee, and it is the duty of each Employee to place the interests of Eagle Capital
Advisors’ Clients first at all times.
13
BROKERAGE PRACTICES Item 13
Eagle will supervise and direct the investments of the client accounts subject to such limitations
as the client may impose in writing. With respect to the client’s account and without prior
consultation with the client, we may (a) direct the purchase, sale, exchange, conversion, and
otherwise trade in stocks, bonds and other securities including money market instruments, (b)
direct the amount of securities purchased, sold, exchanged, and otherwise traded; and (c) place
orders for the execution of such securities transactions.
All client assets are held by a third-party custodian of their choice. We have a duty to get best
execution for our clients. Best execution not only considers brokerage fees, but also involves
price improvement and speed of execution. We periodically review our transaction costs in light
of current market circumstances, available published statistical analysis as well as other relevant
information.
Allocation of Investment Opportunities and Orders
We have adopted the following policies and procedures related to the fair allocation of
investment opportunities. These policies are designed to help ensure that each client receives
fair and equitable treatment in the investment process.
ideas are equally disseminated among all appropriate
investment
•
Investment
professionals responsible for selecting investments.
• Transactions in the same security on behalf of more than one client are aggregated,
when possible, to facilitate best execution. This results in all clients within the aggregate
receiving the same average share price on the transaction.
• When orders cannot be aggregated, we employ a trading process that is fair among all
•
clients, regardless of size.
IPOs are only allocated to accounts when the issuer meets the investment objectives of
participating accounts as well as a review process for allocations.
• We do not short sell securities.
• Accounts in which our employees or affiliates have a beneficial interest, or in which
Eagle has conflict of interest, do not receive preferential treatment.
• All clients receive fair and equitable treatment for investment opportunities that are too
limited to be effectively allocated among all accounts.
When orders are generated, the decision on which accounts should participate, and in what
amount, is based on the type of security or other asset, the present or desired structure of the
various portfolios and the nature of the account’s goals. Other factors include risk tolerance, tax
status, permitted investment techniques and, for fixed-income accounts, the size of the account
and other practical considerations. As a result, we may have different price limits for buying or
selling a security in different accounts.
14
Research Services/Soft Dollars
Eagle may receive research from brokers which supplements our own investigations and
analysis. That research is a necessary component of our investment decision making process.
The research is either proprietary to the broker or it is obtained from third parties and made
available to Eagle by the broker. This research may include any of the following:
•Analytical reports on specific companies or industries
•Current and historical statistical information on companies, industries or economic conditions
•Investment related news
•Information on accounting practices
•Meetings either in person or electronically with corporate managements, industry experts,
economists and other experts
•Meetings either in person or electronically with research analysts with expertise in specific
companies and industries
•General investment information useful in identifying investment opportunities
•Statistical information useful in filtering, comparing, and ranking investment opportunities
•Technical measurement services
Other services that may be received from brokers include custody of client assets, trade
settlement, and other information about investment industry developments including
information related to operations and compliance.
Some research and other services may be paid for by commissions generated by client trades.
This is long standing industry practice. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 established criteria
for “qualified” brokerage and research services. We believe that the research and services that
we may elect to receive by client commission fall within the definition of “qualified” brokerage
or research service.
We use the research and other services for all the clients for whom we exercise investment
discretion, not just the clients who paid the commissions. Some clients with more trades may
bear a disproportionate share of the costs of brokerage and research services. Additionally,
when we select brokers that provide these services, our clients may pay higher commissions
than those charged by some other brokers.
The use of client commissions for research and services is a potential conflict of interest. We
may have an incentive to allocate trades to a particular broker to obtain research services rather
than to the broker who would be expected to provide the best combination of commission and
price. Absent the availability of commissions to compensate brokers, some of these services
would need to be acquired by direct purchase out of our resources. At this time, many research
services are not available for direct purchase. We do not select client custodians based on these
features.
15
Directed Brokerage
Clients who designate a specific broker for transactions will likely receive a different trade
execution than an aggregated transaction, which could be advantageous or disadvantageous to
those clients. Those clients that designate a specific broker for transactions must do so in
writing. We may be unable to negotiate commissions, block or batch client orders or otherwise
achieve the benefits described above, including best execution, if you limit our brokerage
discretion. Directed brokerage commission rates may be higher than the rates we might pay for
transactions in non-directed accounts. As a general rule, we encourage each client to compare
the possible costs or disadvantages of directed brokerage against the value of the custodial or
other services provided by the broker to the client in exchange for the directed broker
designation.
16
REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS Item 14
Portfolio managers review accounts on an ongoing basis. At least once a year, the Chief
Compliance Officer reviews all accounts with the respective portfolio manager. We review the
portfolio and trading activity for compliance with the client’s profile and objectives. Included in
the review is the client profile, the portfolio appraisal, trading activity and performance
information.
All clients will receive account information directly from the custodian, usually monthly. Eagle
will provide clients with quarterly statements which include an asset allocation breakdown,
listing of securities and a schedule of purchases and sales.
CLIENT REFERRALS & OTHER COMPENSATION Item 15
Eagle does not participate in any third-party referral arrangements
CUSTODY Item 16
Eagle does not generally maintain custody of assets, except, 1) as a consequence of our authority
making withdrawals from accounts to pay advisory fees with client authorization, 2) when clients
have signed standing letters of authorization for disbursing funds to third parties, and 3) in
circumstances in which a portfolio manager serves as a trustee*. We have adopted policies and
procedures to provide reasonable assurance that Eagle does not inadvertently obtain further
custody over client assets. All of our clients hold their assets at third party qualified custodians.
Our contract with our client gives us the authority to affect trades, pay our fees, and to transfer
funds directly to a client’s designated bank account at the client’s request. Clients will incur
brokerage and other transaction costs in the course of our management of their accounts.
All our clients receive statements at least quarterly or more frequently from their qualified
custodian. We suggest clients compare information we provide to the information contained in
their custodial statement. Our statements may vary from custodial statements based on
accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities.
*In the event an employee is a trustee or co-trustee of a trust managed by the firm, the assets would be
held by a third party qualified custodian and the other co-trustees and /or beneficiary of the trust would
receive an account statement on a quarterly basis (or more regularly if requested), and Eagle would
engage an independent public accounting firm to conduct a surprise audit exam to verify proper
administration, recordkeeping and reporting of client funds and securities.
17
INVESTMENT DISCRETION Item 17
We receive discretionary authority from the client at the outset of an advisory relationship to
select the identity and amount of securities to be bought or sold. Such authority is provided in
our contract with each client. In all cases, however, such discretion is to be exercised in a
manner consistent with the stated investment objectives for the particular client account.
Although we have discretion, a client may direct us to hold, purchase or sell any marketable
security. When selecting securities and determining amounts, we observe the investment
policies, limitations and restrictions of the client. Investment guidelines and restrictions must be
provided to us in writing.
VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES Item 18
When we accept proxy voting authority, we acknowledge that we have a fiduciary duty to vote
proxies in the best interest of our clients.
Generally we purchase securities based on the belief that management will maximize
shareholder value. When we no longer believe management is able to meet this goal, we
typically sell the security. Therefore, as to most questions coming before shareholders, we vote
in accordance with management’s recommendations. There will be circumstances when we
neither believe disposing of the security nor voting in accordance with management’s
recommendation will be in the best interest of our clients. In those cases, we will vote against
management’s recommendation. Each proxy is voted on a case by case basis.
It is possible that a conflict of interest could arise regarding the voting of a particular proxy. In
that case, we remove the conflicted portfolio manager from the decision-making process and
resolve the conflict in the best interest of our clients. We will make a written record of such
resolution.
Clients can direct our vote in a particular situation. We will vote their shares according to their
direction as long as they notify us in writing in a timely manner.
Clients may obtain information on how their proxies were voted and our proxy voting policies
and procedures by contacting us.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 19
Eagle Capital Advisors has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual
and fiduciary commitments to clients and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
