Item 4: Advisory Business
Description of Advisory Firm
EntreWealth, LLC ("Entre") is a Limited Liability Company and SEC-registered investment adviser in Texas.
The firm was formed in October 2021 and managed and owned by Jeffrey Socha.
Types of Advisory Services
Investment Advisory Services
Entre offers ongoing investment advisory services based on the individual goals, objectives, time horizon,
and risk tolerance of each client. Entre creates an Investment Policy Statement (IPS) for each of its client’s
managed accounts. Portfolio management services include, but are not limited to, the following:
Investment strategy
•
• Asset allocation
• Risk tolerance
• Personal and business (where applicable) investment policy
• Asset selection
• Regular portfolio monitoring
Entre evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance levels and time
horizon. Entre will request discretionary authority from clients in order to select securities and execute
transactions without permission from the client prior to each transaction. Through this discretionary
authority, Entre will select other advisors (sub-advisors) to manage all or a portion of the client’s assets.
Financial Planning
Limited scope financial planning is included within the investment advisory services for certain clients,
and may include but is not limited to investment planning, investment tax management, retirement
planning, college planning, and debt/credit planning. Entre refers more advanced financial planning
services as a stand-alone service to its related entity Socha Consulting LLC. From time to time, Entre uses
certain artificial intelligence platforms to assist in conducting research as part of the financial planning
process. This presents a risk that the material generated by these artificial intelligence platforms may be
incomplete or not fully reliable.
Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
Entre offers the same suite of services to all its clients. However, specific client investment strategies and
their implementation are dependent upon the client Investment Policy Statement which outlines each
client's current situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels). Clients may impose restrictions in
investing in certain securities or types of securities in accordance with their values or beliefs. However, if
the restrictions prevent Entre from properly servicing the client account, or if the restrictions would
require Entre to deviate from its standard suite of services, Entre reserves the right to end the
relationship.
Wrap Fee Programs
Entre does not participate in any wrap fee programs.

EntreWealth, LLC
Form ADV Part 2A: May 16, 2025
Assets under Management
As of December 31, 2024, Entre has $222,469,014 in discretionary and $128,021 in non-discretionary
assets under management.
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Investment Advisory Fees
The fees for Investment Advisory Services are negotiable and depend upon the needs of the client and
complexity of the situation. The highest fee will not exceed 1.50% per annum. The final fee schedule is
attached as an Exhibit of the Investment Advisory Contract. Fees are paid monthly in advance and clients
may terminate their contracts with thirty days' written notice. The billing period is determined in the
contract between Entre and the client.
Clients may terminate their accounts without penalty within 5 business days of signing the advisory
contract and within thirty days written notice. Upon termination, any fees paid in advance will be
retained to transition client accounts through the end of the service billing period. Advisory fees are
withdrawn directly from the client's account. In cases where advisory fees are directly deducted, Entre is
required to obtain client authorization and disclose that the custodian will send statements on at least a
quarterly basis to the client wherein Entre fees are itemized.
Entre uses the value of the account as of the last business day of the billing period, after considering
deposits and withdrawals, for purposes of determining the market value of the assets upon which the
advisory fee is based.
Held Away Assets
Entre uses Pontera, a third-party platform to facilitate management of held-away assets such as defined
contribution plan participant accounts. The platform allows Entre to avoid being considered to have
custody of client funds since Entre does not have direct access to client log-in credentials to affect trades.
Entre is not affiliated with the Pontera platform in any way and received no compensation from them for
using their platform. In order for Entre to manage held away assets (i.e., assets not held at Schwab or
UMB), a link will be provided to the client allowing them to connect an account(s) to the platform. Once
a client account is connected to the platform, Entre will review the current account and when deemed
necessary, will rebalance the account in consideration of client investment goals, risk tolerance, and
economic or market trends.
Selection of Other Advisors
Entre may, on occasion, recommend that all or a portion of the assets in the account be managed by an
outside investment manager or sub-advisor. Clients will pay the Management Fee directly to Entre of
which a portion will be allocated to the outside investment manager and/or sub-advisor. Unless the client
directs otherwise, Entre is authorized to use its discretion in selecting or changing a sub-advisor and/or
outside money manager to the account without prior approval from the Client. Clients may be required to
execute a limited power of attorney with a sub-advisor and/or outside investment manager selected by
Entre.

Client Responsibility for Other Fees
Clients are responsible for the payment of all third-party fees (i.e., custodian fees, brokerage fees, mutual
fund fees, transaction fees, etc.). Those fees are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses
charged by Entre. Please see Item 12 of this brochure regarding broker-dealers and custodians.
Outside Compensation for the Sale of Insurance Products to Clients
Entre’s supervised persons that have insurance licenses will accept compensation for the sale of
insurance products to its clients. This presents a conflict of interest and gives the supervised person an
incentive to recommend insurance products based on the compensation received rather than on the
client’s needs. The client will not pay a commission and a management fee for the same product. Clients
always have the option to purchase recommended products through other agents that are not affiliated
with Entre.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Entre does not accept performance-based fees or other fees based on a share of capital gains on or
capital appreciation of the assets of a client.
Item 7: Types of Clients
Entre will provides advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, businesses, and pension
and profit-sharing plans.
There is no account minimum for any of Entre's services.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, & Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
Entre's methods of analysis include Charting analysis, Cyclical analysis, Fundamental analysis, Modern
portfolio theory, Quantitative analysis, and Technical analysis.
Charting analysis involves the use of patterns in performance charts. Entre uses this technique to search
for patterns used to help predict favorable conditions for buying and/or selling a security.
Cyclical analysis involves the analysis of business cycles to find favorable conditions for buying and/or
selling a security.
Fundamental analysis involves the analysis of financial statements, the general financial health of
companies, and/or the analysis of management or competitive advantages.
Modern portfolio theory is a theory of investment that attempts to maximize portfolio expected return
for a given amount of portfolio risk, or equivalently minimize risk for a given level of expected return,
each by carefully choosing the proportions of various asset.
Quantitative analysis deals with measurable factors as distinguished from qualitative considerations such
as the character of management or the state of employee morale, such as the value of assets, the cost of
capital, historical projections of sales, and so on.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data, primarily price and volume.

Investment Strategies
Entre uses long-term trading strategies.
Risks of Investing
Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear.
Charting analysis strategy involves using and comparing various charts to predict long and short-term
performance or market trends. The risk involved in solely using this method is that only past performance
data is considered without using other methods to crosscheck data. Using charting analysis without other
methods of analysis would be making the assumption that past performance will be indicative of future
performance. This may not be the case.
Cyclical analysis assumes that the markets react in cyclical patterns which, once identified, can be
leveraged to provide performance. The risks with this strategy are two-fold: 1) the markets do not always
repeat cyclical patterns and 2) if too many investors begin to implement this strategy, it changes the very
cycles they are trying to take advantage of.
Fundamental analysis concentrates on factors that determine a company’s value and expected future
earnings. This strategy would normally encourage equity purchases in stocks that are undervalued or
priced below their perceived value. The risk assumed is that the market will fail to reach expectations of
perceived value.
Technical analysis attempts to predict a future stock price or direction based on market trends. The
assumption is that the market follows discernible patterns and if these patterns can be identified then a
prediction can be made. The risk is that markets do not always follow patterns and relying solely on this
method may not work long term.
The value of an investment may be affected by one or more of the following risks, any of which could
cause the portfolio’s return or yield to fluctuate:
Availability of Information: Certain issuers, including municipalities, private companies, and foreign
issuers may not be subject to the same disclosure, accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards
and practices as publicly listed companies in U.S. stock markets. As such, there may be less information
publicly available about these issuers and their current financial condition.
Credit Risk: An issuer of debt securities may fail to make interest payments and repay principal when due,
in whole or in part. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength or in a security’s credit rating may affect a
security’s value.
Inflation Risk: Inflation may erode the buying power of your investment portfolio, even if the dollar value
of your investments remains the same.
Interest Rate Risk: Changes in interest rates may affect the value of a portfolio’s investments. For
example, when interest rates rise, the value of investments in fixed income securities tends to fall below
par value or the principal investment and when interest rates fall, the value of the investments in fixed
income securities tends to rise. In general, fixed income securities with longer maturities are more
sensitive to these price changes.
Page 7 of 13
EntreWealth, LLC
Form ADV Part 2A: May 16, 2025
Market Risk: The value of an investment may decline based on market conditions, regardless of the
issuer’s operational success or its financial condition. As such, the value of a portfolio’s assets may
fluctuate as the stock or bond market fluctuates.
Prepayment or Call Risk: Many fixed income securities contain a provision that allows the issuer to “call”,
or redeem, all or part of the issue prior to the maturity date of the security. There is no guarantee that
investors will be able to reinvest the proceeds in a security of equivalent quality or yield characteristics.
Style Risk: The value of a portfolio may fluctuate based on the investment style employed in the
management of the portfolio. The risk of value investing includes that the price of a security may not
approach its anticipated value or may decline in value. The risk of growth investing includes that the
anticipated underlying earnings or operational growth may not occur, or the market price of the security
may decline in value.
Trading Practices: Brokerage commissions and other fees may be higher in certain markets or for foreign
securities due to lack of established government supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets,
currency markets, trading systems, and brokerage practices. Procedures and rules governing foreign
transactions and custody also may involve delays in payment, delivery, or recovery of money or
investments.
Risks of specific securities used:
Corporate Bonds: Corporate bonds may incur greater risk than government bonds, as corporate bonds
are generally financed by a business or corporation and may be subject to loss of part or total value in the
event of an issuer’s bankruptcy or restructuring.
Equity Securities: While equity securities outperform other types of investments at certain times,
individual stock prices may go up and down more dramatically. A slower-growth or recessionary
economic environment could have an adverse effect on the price of all stocks.
Exchange Traded Funds: Investing in an exchange traded fund (“ETF”) often involves the same risks as
investing in the underlying securities the ETF is tracking. ETF prices may vary significantly from the Net
Asset Value due to market conditions. Certain exchange traded funds, such as inverse funds, may not
track underlying benchmarks as expected.
Municipal/Government bonds: Debt securities issued by a municipality or other government entity are
susceptible to events relating directly to the issuer or security, including economic, legal, or political
policy changes, tax base erosion, state constitutional limits on tax increases, budget deficits and other
financial difficulties, and changes in the credit rating assigned to municipal issues.
Mutual Funds: Investments in mutual funds generally involve the same risks as investing in underlying
equity or fixed income securities. Additionally, as a pooled investment vehicle, mutual funds subject
investors to other investors’ investment decisions and capital gains are spread evenly among all investors.
Mutual fund prices may vary significantly from the Net Asset Value due to market conditions.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
There is no disciplinary activity to report.

Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations

Relationships Material to this Advisory Business & Possible Conflicts of Interest
Socha Consulting
Socha Consulting is a business consulting entity affiliated with Entre. Representatives of Entre may offer
clients advice or products from Socha Consulting that may present a conflict of interest due to the
financial interest. Clients will pay fees separate and distinct for services rendered under Socha
Consulting. Consulting services at Socha Consulting may include tax planning, family office services, and
business planning. Supervised persons that have insurance licenses will accept compensation for the sale
of insurance products to its clients. This presents a conflict of interest and gives the supervised person an
incentive to recommend insurance products based on the compensation received rather than on the
client’s needs. The client will not pay a commission and a management fee for the same product. Clients
always have the option to purchase recommended products through other agents that are not affiliated
with Entre.
Socha Capital Energy Fund 2023 Management, LLC
Jeffrey Socha owns Socha Capital Energy Fund 2023 Management, LLC (“General Partner”), an exempt
reporting advisor that manages and is general partner to pooled investment vehicles (“Socha Funds”). To
minimize any conflict of interest created by Jeffrey Socha’s ownership in this entity, clients will be
recommended to invest in the Socha Funds when it is in their best interest. Clients are never required to
invest in the Socha Funds.

Recommendations Involving Material Financial Interests
Jeffrey Socha owns Socha Capital Energy Fund 2023 Management, LLC (“Socha Fund”), an exempt
reporting advisor that manages pooled investment vehicles. To minimize any conflict of interest created
by Jeffrey Socha’s ownership in this entity, clients will be recommended to invest in the pooled
investment vehicles when it is in their best interest. Clients are never required to invest in the Socha
Fund.
Investing Personal Money in the Same Securities as Clients
From time to time, representatives of Entre may buy or sell securities for themselves that they also
recommend to clients. This may provide an opportunity for representatives of Entre to buy or sell the
same securities before or after recommending the same securities to clients resulting in representatives
profiting off the recommendations they provide to clients. Such transactions may create a conflict of
interest. Entre will always document any transactions that could be construed as conflicts of interest and
will never engage in trading that operates to the client's disadvantage when similar securities are being
bought or sold.
Trading Securities At/Around the Same Time as Clients' Securities
From time to time, representatives of Entre may buy or sell securities for themselves at or around the
same time as clients. This may provide an opportunity for representatives of Entre to buy or sell securities
before or after recommending securities to clients resulting in representatives profiting off the
recommendations they provide to clients. Such transactions may create a conflict of interest; however,
Entre will never engage in trading that operates to the client's disadvantage if representatives of Entre
buy or sell securities at or around the same time as clients.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Broker Selection and Best Execution
Broker-dealers will be recommended based on Entre's duty to seek "best execution," which is the
obligation to seek execution of securities transactions for a client on the most favorable terms for the
client under the circumstances. Clients will not necessarily pay the lowest commission or commission
equivalent, and Entre may also consider the market expertise and research access provided by the
broker- dealer, including but not limited to access to written research, oral communication with analysts,
admittance to research conferences and other resources provided by the brokers that may aid in Entre's
research efforts. Entre will never charge a premium or commission on transactions, beyond the actual
cost imposed by the broker-dealer.
Entre will recommend that clients custody their account with Schwab Institutional, a division of Charles
Schwab & Co., Inc (“Schwab”), and UMB Financial, “(UMB”).
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
While Entre has no formal soft dollar program in which soft dollars are used to pay for third party
services, Entre may receive research, products, or other services from Schwab or UMB, however they are
not in connection with client securities transactions.
Page 10 of 13
EntreWealth, LLC
Form ADV Part 2A: May 16, 2025
Brokerage for Client Referrals
Entre receives no referrals from a broker-dealer or third party in exchange for using that broker-dealer or
third party.
Directed Brokerage
Entre will require clients to use Schwab or UMB to execute transactions.
Aggregated Trades
If Entre buys or sells the same securities on behalf of more than one client, then it may (but would be
under no obligation to) aggregate or bunch such securities in a single transaction for multiple clients to
seek more favorable prices, lower brokerage commissions, or more efficient execution. In such case,
Entre would place an aggregate order with the broker on behalf of all such clients to ensure fairness for
all clients; provided, however, that trades would be reviewed periodically to ensure that accounts are not
systematically disadvantaged by this policy. Entre would determine the appropriate number of shares and
select the appropriate brokers consistent with its duty to seek best execution, except for those accounts
with specific brokerage direction (if any).
Item 13: Review of Accounts
All client accounts for Entre's advisory services provided on an ongoing basis are reviewed at least
annually by Jeff Socha, President, regarding clients' respective investment policies and risk tolerance
levels.
Factors That May Trigger a Non-Periodic Review of Client Accounts
Reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events, or by changes in client's
financial situations (such as retirement, termination of employment, physical move, or inheritance).
Reports
Clients will receive their reports directly from the custodial firm. Entre will not provide additional reports.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Although not currently, Entre may establish relationships in the future to pay compensation to a third-
party for recommended clients to Entre. In the even such arrangements are established, Client will be
informed of the fees and conflicts through disclosure.
Item 15: Custody
When advisory fees are deducted directly from client accounts at client's custodian, Entre will be deemed
to have limited custody of client's assets and must have written authorization from the client to do so.
Clients will receive monthly statements directly from the custodian and should carefully review those
statements for accuracy.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Entre provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisory services to clients. The advisory
contract established with each client sets forth the discretionary authority for trading. Where investment
discretion has been granted, Entre generally manages the client's account and makes investment
Page 11 of 13
EntreWealth, LLC
Form ADV Part 2A: May 16, 2025
decisions without consultation with the client as to when the securities are to be bought or sold for the
account, the total amount of the securities to be bought/sold, what securities to buy or sell, or the price
per share. For clients whose accounts are managed on a non-discretionary basis, Entre obtains client
permission prior to executing a transaction.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Entre will not ask for, nor accept voting authority for client securities. Clients will receive proxies directly
from the issuer of the security or the custodian. Clients should direct all proxy questions to the issuer of
the security.
Item 18: Financial Information
Entre neither requires nor solicits prepayment of more than $1200 in fees per client, six months or more
in advance, and therefore is not required to include a balance sheet with this brochure.
Neither Entre nor its management has any financial condition that is likely to reasonably impair Entre's
ability to meet contractual commitments to clients.
Entre has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition in the last ten years.
