Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Elite Life Management LLC (“Elite” or the “Advisor”) is a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
registered investment advisor with its retail office located in the State of Florida and its principal office located
in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Elite is organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) under the
laws of Florida. Elite was founded in October 2020 and became a registered investment advisor in November
2020. Elite is owned and operated by HBK Sorce Financial LLC (an Ohio operating company which owns
interests in several financial services companies). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the
qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by Elite.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Elite offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, entities and other
registered investment advisors (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 and
disclose potential conflicts of interest. Our fiduciary commitment is further described in our Code of Ethics. For
more information regarding our Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in
Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Investment Management Services
Elite provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous
personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and related
advisory services. Elite 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. Elite will then construct an investment
portfolio, consisting primarily of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds, individual stocks, and/or
individual bonds to pursue the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize other types of investments
where appropriate to meet the needs of certain Clients, including, but not limited to, limited partnerships and
private placements. The Advisor may retain certain legacy investments based on portfolio fit and/or tax
considerations.
Elite’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate
positions that have been held less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions.
Elite will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to meet 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.
Elite evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. Elite may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the
portfolio. Elite 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. Elite 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 Elite 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.
4
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Elite to provide investment advisory services, each Client enters into a written agreement with the
Advisor that defines the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These
services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – Elite, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that
seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Elite will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment
objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance of risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – Elite will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated
goals and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – Elite will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
• Financial Planning – Elite will provide financial planning analysis, advice and plans to the extent
appropriate and agreed upon to assist clients in meeting their long-term financial goals.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Elite does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are
provided directly by Elite.
E. Assets Under Management
As of August 31, 2024 Elite has $126,470,367 in assets under management on a discretionary basis and
$1,401,978 on a non-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 a written
agreement with the Advisor which will identify the fee.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the
investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are billed at an annual rate of up to 1.50% and are based
on the market value of assets under management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Fees are based on
several factors, including: the complexity of the services to be provided, the level of assets to be managed, and the
overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific reporting requirements, portfolio
restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee.
The Fee for the initial quarter shall be calculated on a pro rata basis commencing on the date of account opening
and shall be based on the market value of the assets under management on the first month-end following the
date this agreement is signed and assets have been posted to the account(s). The fee for accounts which are a
fixed dollar amount shall be prorated so that one fourth of the fee is paid quarterly in advance. Fees may be
negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. Certain Clients may be offered a fixed fee not to exceed the
annual rate above. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with
the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by Elite will be independently valued by the Custodian. Elite
will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuations. In the rare circumstance where the custodian cannot
obtain a value, Elite will look to other third-party sources for valuation such as the issuer of a private placement
or use the purchase value or other historical value obtained. If no other valuations are available, the Advisor will
determine fair value based on appropriate factors, including its knowledge of the security and current market
conditions, which valuation will be reviewed and approved by the Chief Compliance Officer.
5
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to, brokerage fees, transaction fees, and other related costs and
expenses, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these
commissions, fees, and costs.
B. Fee Billing
Investment advisory fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at
the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted
from the Client’s account[s] at the respective quarter-end date. The amount due is calculated by applying the
quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management with Elite at the end of the prior
calendar quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting
deduction of the investment advisory fee. Clients are urged to also review and compare the statement provided by
the Advisor to the brokerage statement from the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform a verification of fees.
Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Elite to be paid directly from their
account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate account forms
provided by the Custodian.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Elite, in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and securities
execution fees charged by the Custodian. The fees charged by Elite are separate and distinct from these custody
and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to Elite 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 Elite,
but would not receive the services provided by Elite 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
Elite to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional
information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Elite may be compensated for its investment advisory services in advance of the quarter in which services are
rendered. Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written
notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment advisory agreement within five (5) business
days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur
charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable
by the Client. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid investment advisory fees from the
effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor
is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent, which can include notice and a reasonable opportunity to
determine whether to continue their relationship with the transferee.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Elite 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.
Elite’s representatives may also be licensed as an independent insurance professional. As such, they may earn
commission-based compensation for selling insurance products. Commissions for insurance products are
separate and in addition to Elite’s advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest as there is an
incentive to recommend insurance products that generate a commission. However, you are under no obligation,
contractually or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through an Elite representative.
6
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Elite does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by Elite are
as described in Item 5 – Fees and Compensation above – and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the
funds or securities held by any Client. Elite 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. See Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliates for
conflicts of interest due to fees earned by affiliate entities.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Elite offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, entities,
institutional clients, charitable organizations, retirement plans and other registered investment advisors. Elite
generally does not impose a minimum relationship size.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Elite primarily employs fundamental analysis methods in developing investment strategies for its Clients.
Research and analysis from Elite 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. Elite may retain third parties, including
affiliates, to provide the research and due diligence.
As noted above, Elite generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their
financial goals. Elite 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, Elite 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, including loss of principal. Elite 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.
7
Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s 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 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.
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.
Alternative Investments (Limited Partnerships)
The performance of alternative investments (including limited partnerships) can be volatile and may have limited
liquidity. An investor could lose all or a portion of their investment. Such investments often have concentrated
positions and investments that may carry higher risks which are more fully described in their offering documents.
Client should only have a portion of their assets in these investments and should read any related offering
materials carefully.
Model Portfolios
The Firm may allocate investment management assets of its client accounts, on a discretionary basis, among one or
more of its Model Portfolio programs (which range from conservative through moderate and aggressive) as
described in the Investment Management Agreement and/or a client suitability profile. HBKS’s proprietary programs
have been designed to comply with the requirements of Rule 3a-4 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Rule 3a-
4 provides similarly managed investment programs, with a non-exclusive safe harbor from the definition of an
investment company. In accordance with Rule 3a-4, the following disclosure is specifically applicable to HBKS’s
management of client assets:
1.
2.
Initial Interview – at the opening of the account, HBKS, through its designated representatives, shall obtain from
the client information sufficient to determine the client’s financial situation and investment objectives;
Individual Treatment – the client’s account is managed on the basis of the client’s financial situation and
investment objectives;
3. Annual Notice – at least annually the Firm will seek to contact and meet with the client to determine whether the
client’s financial situation or investment objectives have changed, or if then client wants to impose and/or modify
any reasonable restrictions on the management of his/her/its account;
4. Annual Contact – at least annually, the Firm shall contact the client to determine whether the client’s financial
situation or investment objectives have changed, or if the client wants to impose and/or modify any reasonable
restrictions on the management of his/her/its account.
5. Consultation Available – the Firm shall be reasonably available to consult with the client relative to the status of
the client’s account;
6. Quarterly Statement – the client shall be provided with a report at least quarterly for the account for the
preceding period;
7. Ability to Impose Restrictions – the client shall have the ability to impose reasonable restrictions on the
management of the account, including the ability to instruct the Firm not to purchase certain mutual funds;
8. No Pooling – the client’s beneficial interest in a security does not represent an undivided interest in all the
8
securities held by the custodian, but rather represents a direct and beneficial interest in the securities which
comprise the client’s account;
9. Separate Account - a separate account is maintained for the client with the Custodian; and
10. Ownership – each client retains indicia of ownership of the account (e.g. right to withdraw securities or cash,
exercise or delegate proxy voting, and receive transaction confirmations).
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 Elite or its owner/any of its Supervised
Persons. Elite values the trust you place in us. As we advise all Clients, we encourage you to perform the
requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider with whom you partner. Our backgrounds are available
on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with our firm name
or our CRD# 310917.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Insurance Agency Affiliations
As noted in Item 5, Advisor representatives may also be licensed insurance professionals. Implementations of
insurance recommendations are separate and apart from their role with Elite. As insurance professionals, they
may receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the various insurance companies whose
products are sold. They are not required to offer the products of any particular insurance company.
Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset regular advisory fees. This may cause a conflict of
interest in recommending certain products of the insurance companies. Clients are under no obligation to
implement any insurance related recommendations made by Advisor representatives. Advisor is also affiliated
with HBK Sorce Insurance LLC, and insurance agency owned by HBK Sorce Financial LLC which is also an
owner of Advisor. This creates a conflict of interest in that clients may be encouraged to purchase insurance
products through HBK Sorce Insurance LLC based on compensation to be received rather than the client’s best
interests. Clients are under no obligation to purchase insurance products through HBK Sorce Insurance LLC.
Investment Advisor Affiliations
Advisor is affiliated with HBK Sorce Advisory LLC d.b.a. HBKS® Wealth Advisors (HBKS) (an SEC registered
investment advisor). HBK Sorce Financial LLC is an owner of both the Advisor and HBKS. Advisor retains HBKS to
provide sub-advisory and consulting services in connection with the operation of Advisor’s business and
management of client portfolios, including the use of model portfolios developed and managed by HBKS. The use of
HBKS for sub-advisor and consulting services presents a conflict of interest, as HBKS receives compensation from
Advisor for those services. Conflicts of interest also exist in that clients may also be encouraged to use other
advisory services of HBKS due to the ability to generate further compensation for HBKS.
Advisor is affiliated with Park Shore Partners LLC (PSP) (an SEC registered investment advisor). HBK Sorce
Financial LLC is an owner of both Advisor and PSP. PSP serves as General Partner and/ or Investment Manager of
the Park Shore Opportunity Fund Ltd., and its feeder funds, including the Park Shore Opportunity US Fund LP, the
Park Shore Opportunity Offshore Fund Ltd. and Park Shore Opportunity US QP Fund LP (together, the “Affiliated
Funds”). The Affiliated funds offer and issue securities through private placements. PSP also acts as sub-advisor for
the Park Shore Multi Asset Strategy Fund LLC (the “MAS Fund”), which is owned by First Trust Capital Management
L.P., and which offers securities through private placements. Adviser representatives, on a non-discretionary basis,
may recommend that qualified clients consider allocating a portion of their investment assets to the Affiliated Funds
or MAS Fund. The terms and conditions for participation in the Affiliated Funds and MAS fund, including
management and incentive fees, conflicts of interest, and risk factors, are set forth in the their offering documents.
Adviser clients are under absolutely no obligation to consider or make an investment in any private investment
fund(s), including the Affiliated Funds or MAS Fund.
9
Broker Dealer Affiliations
Advisor is affiliated with HBK Sorce Brokerage LLC (a limited use broker dealer registered with the State of Ohio) as
it and Advisor are under common ownership by HBK Sorce Financial LLC. The recommendation by Advisor that a
client engage the services of HBK Sorce Brokerage LLC, in its capacity as a limited use/broker dealer, presents a
conflict of interest, as the receipt of commissions may provide an incentive to recommend commission products
based on commissions to be received by HBK Sorce Brokerage LLC, rather than on a particular client’s need. No
client is under any obligation to purchase any commission products from HBK Sorce Brokerage LLC or any of its
registered representatives.
CPA Affiliations
Advisor is affiliated with the accounting firm of Hill, Barth & King LLC d.b.a. HBK CPAs & Consultants (HBKCPA) as
HBKCPA is an indirect owner of HBK Sorce Financial LLC, which is an owner of Advisor. The recommendation by
Advisor that a client engage the services of HBKCPA in its capacity as a CPA firm or as a consultant, presents a
conflict of interest. No client is under any obligation to engage HBKCPA, in its capacity as a CPA firm or as
consultants.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Elite has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines our fiduciary commitment to each Client. This
Code applies to all persons associated with Elite (our “Supervised Persons”). The Code was developed to
provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding our duties to you, our Client. Elite and its
Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of
Elite’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 our Code, please contact us at (859) 421-0128.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Elite allows our Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Elite 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. Elite does not have a material
interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Elite allows our Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities we recommend (purchase or sell) to you presents a
conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, we must disclose to you and mitigate through policies and procedures. As
noted above, we have adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public information controls);
gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When trading for personal
accounts, Supervised Persons may have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The fiduciary duty
to act in the best interest of its Clients can potentially 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 Elite by conducting a coordinated review of personal accounts and the accounts of the Clients. We
have also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While Elite allows our 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 Elite, or any Supervised Person of Elite, transact in any security to the detriment of any
Client or in a manner designed to provide the Supervised Person a trading advantage.

Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Elite 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 Elite to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement.
Further, Elite does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of our Clients on a
trade-by-trade basis.
While Elite 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 recommended by Elite.
However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is not
engaged. Elite 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. Elite will generally recommend 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”. Elite maintains an institutional relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives
economic benefits from Schwab. Please see Item 14 below.
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. Elite does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-
dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from Schwab. Please see Item 14
below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - Elite 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 Elite will place trades
within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are
traded within their respective brokerage 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]). Elite 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 order, 3) difficulty of execution,
4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. Elite will execute its transactions through the Custodian
as authorized by the Client. Elite may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased
or sold through the same broker-dealer 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 Client accounts.
11
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis. Formal reviews are generally
conducted at least annually or more frequently depending on the needs of the Client.
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A. 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 Elite 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 account statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These account
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 account
statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may
also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by Elite
Elite is a fee-only advisory firm, that is compensated solely by its Clients and not from any investment product. Elite
does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker-dealers or any un-related third
party. Elite 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, Elite may receive
non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
Elite has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a
division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like Elite. As a registered investment advisor
participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, Elite 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 potential conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's
recommendation of this custodian over one 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 provides participating advisors with access to
technology, research, discounts and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives 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 all Clients.
12
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services and support to Elite that may not
benefit the Client, including: educational conferences and events, financial start-up support, consulting services
and discounts for various service providers. Access to these services creates a financial incentive for the Advisor
to recommend Schwab, which results in a potential conflict of interest. Elite believes, however, that the selection
of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
B. Client Referrals from Promotors
Elite does not engage paid promotors for endorsements or Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
Elite does not accept or maintain custody of any Client accounts, except for the authorized deduction of the
Advisor’s fees. All Clients must place their assets with a “qualified custodian”. Clients are required to engage the
Custodian to retain their funds and securities and direct Elite to utilize that Custodian for the Client’s security
transactions. Clients should review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any reports provided
by Elite to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For more information about
custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 - Brokerage Practices.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Elite generally 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 Elite.
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 Elite will be in accordance with each Client's investment
objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Elite 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. Elite may retain third party advisors, including affiliates, to
manage a portion of Client assets where the third party will vote certain corporate actions on behalf of the Client.
The Client will be notified if this type of arrangement arises.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Elite, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability
of Elite to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Elite, nor any of its Advisory Persons, have been subject to a
bankruptcy or financial compromise. Elite is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure
Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $500 or more for services to be performed six months
or more in the future.
