We have been a registered investment advisory firm since 2021. PRINCIPAL OWNERS ENZI Wealth is owned and controlled by David Martinez, its Managing Member and Chief Compliance Officer. INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES Asset Management Services: We provide asset management services in which we manage your custodial accounts and provide you with continuous and ongoing supervision of your custodial accounts. Our services provide additional investment opportunities among stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), options, and additional securities. We use a third-party platform to facilitate the management of held-away assets, such as defined contribution plan participant accounts, with discretion. The platform allows us to avoid being considered to have custody of Client funds since we do not have direct access to Client log-in credentials to affect trades. We are not affiliated with the platform in any way and receive no compensation from them for using their platform. A link will be provided to the Client, allowing them to connect an account(s) to the platform. Once Client account(s) is connected to the platform, ENZI Wealth will review the current account allocations. When deemed necessary, ENZI Wealth will rebalance the account considering client investment goals and risk tolerance, and any change in allocations will consider current economic and market trends. The goal is to improve account performance over time, minimize loss during difficult markets, and manage internal fees that harm account performance. Client account(s) will be reviewed at least annually, and allocation changes will be made as deemed necessary. Financial Planning and Consulting Services: We provide various financial planning and consulting services that find ways to help you understand your overall financial situation and help you set financial objectives. We accomplish this by helping you review your financial goals, tax planning strategies, asset allocation, risk management, retirement planning, and other areas and objectives such as budgeting, education planning, cash flow planning, charitable planning, lines of credit analysis, insurance analysis, business financial planning, mortgage/debt analysis, and real estate analysis. Our Financial Planning Services also include Estate Planning. This usually includes an analysis of your exposure to estate taxes and your current estate plan, which may include whether you have a will, powers of attorney, trusts, and other related documents. Our advice also typically includes ways for you to minimize or avoid future estate taxes by implementing appropriate estate planning strategies such as the use of applicable trusts. We will assist you to initiate, update, or completing estate planning activities. Generally, such financial planning and consulting services will involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial consultation based on your financial goals and objectives. We will summarize our 4 services to you in a written plan, which will typically include general recommendations for a course of action or specific actions to be taken by you. Implementation of the recommendations will be at your discretion. We provide our financial planning and consulting services on an hourly basis. Retirement Plan Consulting Services: We provide advisory services to plan sponsors of employer-sponsored retirement plans for which it has been specifically engaged, in addition to supporting affiliated companies through other non-advisory services to retirement plans for corporations and other business entities as a 3(21) fiduciary. Such advisory services can include selection and/or de-selection and replacement of individual investment options pursuant to agreed investment criteria. In choosing and monitoring investment options for employer-sponsored retirement plans, we look for reliable fund companies that have a consistent track record and steady performance. Once a fund company is identified for possible selection for a particular retirement plan product, we conduct an in- depth review of the company’s operations, funds, and personnel before determining if the company’s funds as investment options. Quantitative and qualitative factors, such as regional exposure, fund management, and asset size/growth, are also evaluated. The fund companies are monitored on a continuous basis at the firm level. We will assist in the construction of the portfolio by ensuring that all core asset classes are covered to offer full diversification opportunities. However, the final decision of which funds to select is up to the plan sponsor and/or consultant. TAILORED INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES AND RESTRICTIONS ENZI Wealth offers the same suite of services to all our clients; however, specific recommendations and their implementation are dependent upon the individual client’s Investment Policy Statement, which outlines a client’s current financial situation such as income, net worth, and risk tolerance levels. On a case-by-case basis, our clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities in accordance with their values or beliefs. However, if the restrictions prevent us from properly servicing the client’s account, or if the restrictions would require us to deviate from our standard suite of services, we reserve the right to end the relationship. We may request additional information and documentation, such as current investments, tax returns, insurance policies, and estate plan. We will discuss your investment objectives, needs, and goals, but you must inform us of any changes. Unless directed by you, we do not independently verify any information provided to us by you or your attorney, accountant, or other professionals. Held Away Account Services We provide an additional service for accounts not directly held in our custody but where we do have discretion and may leverage an Order Management System to implement asset allocation or rebalancing strategies on behalf of the client. These are primarily 401(k) accounts, 403(b) accounts, 457 accounts, 529 plans, variable annuities, HSAs, and other assets we do not custody. We regularly review the current holdings and available investment options in these accounts, monitor the accounts, rebalance, and implement our strategies as necessary. Access to held away accounts is achieved by the Client permitting via a provided link for the Firm to make asset allocation changes via the Client’s online login credential. These online credentials are never made available to, or held, or stored by ENZI Wealth. The firm will have permission to make changes to the 5 allocation of funds or other securities in the account. Since access is restricted, ENZI Wealth will not be able to add or subtract the investment options, modify plan policies or fees, access the financial assets in the account, or make deposits, withdrawals, or distributions. The assets will be monitored by the IAR and the investment management team to ensure the portfolio adheres to the investment objectives and risk tolerances of the Client. These assets are included in calculating the total assets under management when assessing the annual advisory fee. WRAP FEE PROGRAMS ENZI Wealth does not participate in, recommend, or offer wrap fee programs. ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT As of December 31, 2024, ENZI Wealth manages $ 414,325,513 on a discretionary basis, and $ 9,712,413 on a non-discretionary basis. ITEM 5 Fees and Compensation ANNUAL FEES FOR ADVISORY SERVICES ENZI Wealth is compensated for providing asset management services by charging a fee based on the total assets under management. The fees and billing will be pre-determined in writing in the Investment Advisory Agreement executed by you and ENZI Wealth. The fees charged for financial planning services are negotiable and vary depending on the complexity of the process undertaken, the types of issues addressed, the scope of services provided, and the frequency with which the services are rendered. All fees are agreed upon before entering into the Financial Planning and Consulting Agreement you sign. Fees for retirement plan services are negotiated before the signing of the Retirement Plan Advisory and Consulting Agreement. The agreement language includes the negotiated fee, which may be charged as a percentage of the total retirement plan assets annual fee. The below ranges are the standard fee ranges that are typically charged. We may waive the agreed-upon financial planning fees if you engage our asset management services. Asset Management Fee Schedule First $250,000 1.50% Next $250,000 1.25% Next $500,000 1.00% Next $1,000,000 0.90% Next $1,000,000 0.80% Next $1,000,000 0.70% Next $1,000,000 0.60% Next $5,000,000 0.55% 6 Assets over $10,000,000 0.50% Financial Planning and Consulting Fee Schedule Hourly up to $500 Retirement Plan Advisory and Consulting Fee Schedule Percentage of Plan Assets Up to 2.00% FEE BILLING & PAYMENT Our asset management fees are annual fees. Asset management fees are paid monthly in advance and are due on the first day of the calendar month. Payments are based on the account’s asset value as of the first business day of the calendar month. This value is multiplied by applicable annual rate and then multiplied by the pro-rated days in the month (example $100,000 x 1% = $1,000 x 30/365 = $82.19). The fee is billed and payable within ten (10) days after the end of the prior month. We will deduct our asset management fee only when in receipt of your written authorization by executing an investment advisory agreement permitting the fees to be paid directly from your account. We will send a copy of your invoice to the custodian. The qualified custodian will deliver an account statement to you at least quarterly, which will show all disbursements from your account. We urge you to review all statements for accuracy. Your account at the custodian may also be charged for certain additional assets managed for you by us but not held by the custodian (i.e., variable annuities, mutual funds, 401(k)s). Clients may request to have multiple accounts aggregated under a single household for the purpose of applying our tiered fee schedule. Household aggregation is available to immediate family members, including spouses, domestic partners, dependent children, and other related individuals residing at the same address. At the Firm’s discretion, we may also consider other family relationships or circumstances for household aggregation. When accounts are combined for billing purposes, the Firm will calculate advisory fees based on the total aggregated assets under management (AUM), applying our tiered fee schedule accordingly. The fee reduction resulting from aggregation is applied proportionally across all included accounts. Clients acknowledge and agree that: Eligibility & Maintenance – It is the Client’s responsibility to notify the Firm of any changes that may affect household eligibility, such as separation, divorce, or relocation. The Firm reserves the right to review and adjust household aggregation status at any time. Account Inclusions & Exclusions – Only accounts managed by the Firm under an advisory agreement are eligible for aggregation. Employer-sponsored retirement plans or accounts not under the Firm’s management are generally excluded. Fee Allocation – Fees will be calculated based on the combined AUM but may be deducted proportionally from individual accounts or as otherwise agreed upon by all parties. Clients are responsible for ensuring adequate cash balances in each account to cover applicable fees. 7 Modification or Termination – The Firm reserves the right to modify or discontinue household aggregation at its discretion. If aggregation is terminated, each account will be billed individually based on its respective AUM and the applicable fee schedule. Financial planning and consulting fees may be assessed on an hourly basis, as a one-time project fee, or as an annual fee payable either monthly or quarterly. Hourly fees will be invoiced upon completion of the financial plan or the rendering of consulting services with a thirty (30) day written notice. We will not require a fee of $1200 or more to be paid six months or more in advance. Financial planning and consulting fees are paid via check or by direct invoicing via an electronic payment processor. Retirement plan consulting fees will be billed on a monthly basis, in advance, at the beginning of each calendar month, due within thirty (30) days after the date of invoice, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. The fee will either be billed directly to the plan sponsor or paid directly from the plan assets if authorized by the plan fiduciary. You are responsible for all third-party fees (i.e., custodian fees, mutual fund fees, transaction fees, etc.). These fees are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by ENZI Wealth. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT Either party may terminate the agreement by providing 30-day advance written notice. Upon termination of any account, any prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded, and any earned, unpaid fees will be due and payable up to and including the effective date of termination. Notwithstanding the above, if we do not deliver the appropriate disclosure statement to you at least 48 hours prior to you entering into any written or oral advisory contract with us, then you have the right to terminate the contract without penalty within five (5) business days after entering into the contract. Held Away Account Services ENZI Wealth’s services provided to Held Away Accounts (accounts with Custodians other than our primary approved custodians), ENZI Wealth will be paid a percentage of fee grid referenced in their Client Agreement, based on a recent market valuation of the Client’s Account. Fees will be prorated based on the number of days service is provided during each billing period. As it is impossible to directly debit the fees from these accounts, ENZI Wealth fees will be billed to the client directly or from an account that is under our management. We are not affiliated with the platform in any way and receive no compensation from them for using their platform. OTHER EXPENSES AND FEES The fees discussed above include payment solely for the investment advisory services provided by us and are separate from certain fees or charges that are imposed by third parties in connection with investments made on your behalf for your account. Third-party fees may include markdowns, markups, brokerage commissions, other transaction costs, and/or custodial fees. All fees paid to us for asset management services are separate from the expenses charged by exchange- traded funds and mutual funds to their shareholders. These fees and expenses will be used to pay management fees for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration, and a possible distribution fee. Exchanged traded funds and mutual funds can be invested in directly by you without our services. However, you would not receive our services to assist you in determining which products or services are 8 most suitable for your financial situation and objectives. You should review both the fees we charge and the fees charged by the fund(s) to understand the total fees to be paid fully. Please refer to Item 12 of this brochure for a more detailed explanation of brokerage practices. ITEM 6 Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management We do not charge any performance-based fees, which are fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of your assets. ITEM 7 Types of Clients We provide our investment advisory services to: - Individuals - High Net Worth Individuals - Pension and profit-sharing plans - Corporations - Other business entities We do not have a minimum account size for our asset management services. ITEM 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss METHODS OF ANALYSIS We use various methods of analysis and investment strategies, including the following: Charting - This is a type of technical analysis where we review various charts of market and security activity in an attempt to identify when the market is moving up or down and predicting how long trends may last and when that trends might reverse. Fundamental Analysis – We evaluate economic and financial factors to determine if a security may be underpriced, overpriced, or fairly priced. This method entails assessing a security by attempting to determine its intrinsic value by examining related financial, economic, and other qualitative and quantitative factors. Fundamental analysis requires an in-depth look at all factors that can affect the security's value, from macroeconomic factors (like the overall economy and industry conditions) to individually specific factors (like the financial situation and management of companies). The overall objective of performing the fundamental analysis is to determine a value that an investor can use to determine what sort of position to take with that security. This method of security analysis is contrary to technical analysis. Fundamental analysis involves using real data to evaluate a security's value. Although most analysts use fundamental analysis to value stocks, this method of valuation can be used for just about any type of security. Fundamental analysis does not attempt to anticipate market movements. This presents a potential risk, as the price of a security can move up or down along with the overall market regardless of the economic 9 and financial factors considered in evaluating the stock. Therefore, unforeseen market conditions and/or company developments may result in significant price fluctuations that can lead to investor losses. Technical Analysis – This method involves the evaluation of securities by performing an analysis of statical information that is generated by market activity, such as past prices and volume. Technical analysis does not attempt to measure a security's intrinsic value but instead use charts and other tools to determine the patterns that can suggest future activity. Technical analysts believe that the historical performance of stocks and markets are indications of future performance. A substantial risk in relying upon technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that we will be able to accurately predict such a reoccurrence. Modern Portfolio Theory - Modern portfolio theory (MPT) is a risk-averse theory that involves the construction of portfolios to maximize and optimize expected return based on a given level of market risk, emphasizing that risk is an inherent part of higher reward. According to the theory, it's possible to construct an "efficient frontier" of optimal portfolios offering the maximum possible expected return for a given level of risk. MPT tries to understand the market as a whole and measure market risk in an attempt to reduce the inherent risks of investing in the market. However, with every financial investment strategy, there is a risk of a loss of principal. Not every investment decision will be profitable, and there can be no guarantee of any level of performance. INVESTMENT STRATEGIES When formulating investment advice or managing client assets, we will use the following investment strategies. There are inherent risks associated with each of these strategies. Long-Term Strategy - A long-term strategy may not take advantage of short-term gains or may experience more volatility over the life of the portfolio. Short-Term Strategy – A short-term strategy involves the purchase of securities with the idea of selling them within a relatively short time, typically a year or less. This strategy is done in an attempt to take advantage of conditions that result in market fluctuations in the securities purchased. Income Strategy – An income strategy will seek to maximize income relative to a client’s risk profile and is pursued typically to provide a steady stream of income that can either be reinvested or be used at the Client’s discretion. An income strategy generally utilizes fixed income products that are subject to interest rate risk, prepayment risk, market risk, and, in the case of bonds issued by municipalities and corporations, depending on the type of bond, the potential of default risk. Hedging Strategy – A hedging strategy uses certain instruments such as options and certain ETFs to limit or reduce investment risk; however, this strategy can also be expected to limit or reduce the potential for profit or result in losses. Certain hedging transactions may involve the use of leverage, which could result in losses exceeding the amount committed in the transaction. Your accounts are managed separately with your underlying investment strategies, restrictions, or investment limitations defined within the investment management agreement. 10 POTENTIAL RISKS Investing involves different levels of risk that can result in loss of any profits and/or principal you have not realized. We manage your account in a manner consistent with your pre-determined risk tolerance and suitability profile. However, we cannot guarantee that our efforts will be successful. Investing in securities involves the risk of loss clients should be prepared to bear. Investing involves the assumption of risk, including: Financial Risk: which is the risk that the companies we recommend to you perform poorly, which affect the price of your investment. Market Risk: which is the risk that the stock market will decline, decreasing the value of the securities we recommend to you with it. Inflation Risk: which is the risk that the rate of price increases in the economy deteriorates the returns associated with the stock. Political and Governmental Risk: which is the risk that the value of your investment will is affected by the introduction of new laws or regulations. Interest Rate Risk: which is the risk that the value of the investments we recommend to you will fall if interest rates rise. Call Risk: which is the risk that your investment will be called or purchased back from you when conditions are favorable to the bond issuer and unfavorable to you. Default Risk: which is the risk that the issuer is unable to pay the contractual interest or principal on the investment promptly or at all. Manager Risk: which is the risk that an actively managed mutual fund’s investment adviser will fail to execute the fund’s stated investment strategy. Industry Risk: which is the risk that a group of stocks in a single industry will decline in price due to adverse developments in that industry, decreasing the value of mutual funds that are significantly invested in that industry. Short-Term Purchases: Short-term purchases may incur more trading and brokerage costs in the form of increased commissions and transaction costs and increased tax obligations on the gains of a security’s value. A short-term strategy runs the risk that certain anticipated market movements do not occur, resulting in the client holding a security for longer than intended. ITEM 9 Disciplinary Information As of the date of this brochure, we have not been subject to any disciplinary, legal, or regulatory events related to past or present investment clients. There has been no disciplinary, legal, or regulatory events related to us or any of our management persons. ITEM 10 Other Financial Activities and Affiliations FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES 11 Neither ENZI Wealth nor its management persons are registered or has an application pending to register as a broker-dealer or a registered representative of a broker-dealer. Neither ENZI Wealth nor its management persons are registered or has an application pending to register as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading advisor. AFFILIATIONS ENZI Wealth provides tax, and accounting services through its affiliation with ENZI Tax, a separately owned company. The services offered by the above affiliated company are separate and distinct from Enzi Wealth’s advisory services. The Firm emphasizes in its engagement agreements that all clients have complete discretion in deciding whether or not to use the services of an affiliated company. SELECTION OF OTHER INVESTMENT ADVISERS We do not recommend or select other investment advisers for our clients. ITEM 11 Code of Ethics, Participation in Client Transactions and Personal Trading CODE OF ETHICS ENZI Wealth has developed a code of ethics that will apply to all of our supervised persons. We and our IARs must act in a fiduciary capacity when providing investment advisory services to you. As a fiduciary, it is an investment adviser’s responsibility to provide fair and full disclosure of all material facts and to act solely in the best interest of each of our clients at all times. ENZI Wealth has a fiduciary duty to all clients. This fiduciary duty is considered the core underlying principle of our code of ethics, which also covers our insider trading and personal securities transactions policies and procedures. We require all of our supervised persons to conduct business with the highest level of ethical standards and to comply with all federal and state securities laws at all times. Upon employment or affiliation and at least annually thereafter, all supervised persons will acknowledge that they have read, understand, and agree to comply with our Code of Ethics. Our Code of Ethics is available to clients and prospective clients upon request. RECOMMENDATIONS INVOLVING A MATERIAL FINANCIAL INTEREST Neither we nor any related person recommend to clients or buys or sells for clients’ accounts securities in which we or a related person has a material financial interest. PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS There may be instances where an IAR will recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective clients the purchase or sale of securities in which an IAR, its affiliates, or other clients may also have a position or interest. Certain affiliated accounts may trade in the same securities with client accounts on an aggregated basis. Generally, in such circumstances, the affiliated and client accounts will share execution costs equally. Completed trade orders will be allocated according to the instructions from the initial trade order. Partially filled trade orders will be allocated on a pro-rata basis. Any exceptions will be explained in the trade order. 12 PERSONAL TRADING Employees are permitted to have personal securities accounts as long as personal investing practices are in line with fiduciary standards and regulatory requirements and do not conflict with their duty to ENZI Wealth and our clients. ENZI Wealth monitors and controls personal trading through pre-approval of all personal securities transactions or blackout periods imposed upon employees trading in the same securities as ENZI Wealth. We forbid any officer or employee, either personally or on behalf of others, to trade on material, nonpublic information or communicate such information to others in violation of the law. ITEM 12 Brokerage Practices ENZI Wealth currently has arrangements with Charles Schwab & Co. (“Schwab”), Altruist, and Fidelity. Schwab, Altruist, and Fidelity are the unaffiliated, qualified custodians whereby ENZI Wealth would suggest you custody your accounts. Schwab is an independent SEC-registered broker-dealer and a member of FINRA and SIPC. As a fiduciary, we are obligated to seek out the best execution of client transactions for accounts that we manage. In general, the execution of securities transactions is at a total cost to process each transaction and are the most favorable under the circumstances. However, we do not limit the best execution to the lowest available price. Additional factors are taken into consideration when determining the arrangement and services in the selection of a broker-dealer or qualified custodian. Our review consists of reviewing the commission and fee structures of various broker-dealers, research platforms, and execution services. Accordingly, while we consider competitive rates, we do not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for account transactions. Therefore, the overall services provided by unaffiliated broker- dealers and qualified custodians are evaluated to determine the best execution. You may pay trade execution charges and higher commissions through the trading platforms approved by us than through platforms that have not been approved by us. RESEARCH AND OTHER BENEFITS We receive benefits in that certain custodians may make available to us other products and services such as trade execution software, investment research, pricing information, market data, recordkeeping, publications, and conferences in return for effecting transactions through them. Such arrangements will be pursuant to Section 28(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and are available to all of the retail and professional clients of the custodians on an unsolicited basis. Products & Services Available to Us from Schwab Schwab Advisor Services (formerly called Schwab Institutional) is Schwab’s business serving independent investment advisory firms like ours. They provide us and our clients with access to its institutional brokerage – trading, custody, reporting, and related services – many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes available various support services. Some of those services help us manage or administer our clients’ accounts, while others help us manage and grow our business. Schwab’s support services are generally available on an unsolicited basis and at no charge to us as long as we maintain a total of at least $10 million of our clients’ assets in accounts at Schwab. Services that Benefit Client Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of client assets. The investment products available 13 through Schwab include some to which we might not otherwise have access, or that would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment by our clients. Schwab’s services described in this paragraph generally benefit clients or their account(s). Services that May Not Directly Benefit Clients Schwab also makes available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not directly benefit the client or their account(s). These products and services assist us in managing and administering our clients’ accounts. They include investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of third parties. We may use this research to service all or some substantial number of our clients’ accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab. In addition to investment research, Schwab also makes available software and other technology that: • provides access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account statements); • facilitates trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts; • provides pricing and other market data; • facilitates payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts; and • assists with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting. Schwab also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business enterprise. These services include: • educational conferences and events • technology, compliance, legal, and business consulting; • publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; and • access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers. Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party vendors to provide the services to us. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for some of these services or pay all or a part of a third party’s fees. Irrespective of direct or indirect benefits to our client through Schwab, we strive to enhance the client’s experience, help reach their goals and put their interests before that of our firm or its associated persons. BROKERAGE FOR CLIENT REFERRALS We do not receive client referrals from broker-dealers. DIRECTED BROKERAGE We do not recommend, request, require, or permit clients to direct us to executed transactions through a specific broker-dealer other than those we recommend. TRADE AGGREGATION 14 We attempt to allocate trade executions in the most equitable manner possible, taking into consideration current asset allocation and availability of funds using price averaging, proration, and consistently non- arbitrary methods of allocation. We may aggregate orders in order to obtain best execution, to negotiate more favorable commission rates, or to allocate equitably among our clients’ differences in prices and commission or other transaction costs. In aggregated orders, transactions will be price-averaged and allocated among our clients in proportion to the purchase and sale orders placed for each client account on any given day. ITEM 13 Review of Accounts PERIODIC REVIEWS We review asset management and retirement plan accounts no less than annually. These accounts will be reviewed by the CCO. Accounts are reviewed to evaluate asset allocation, investment strategy and objectives, cash balance, and performance, as well as the general economic outlook and current investment trends. REVIEW TRIGGERS We conduct periodic reviews to evaluate the current market, economic and political events and how these may affect client accounts. Additional reviews may be triggered by these events or by events in the client’s financial or personal status. REGULAR REPORTS Asset management clients will receive advisory account reports no less than quarterly. These reports show asset value by cash balances, security, unit cost, total cost, current per share values, etc. Clients are urged to review the quarterly reports provided by us with those provided by their custodian and notify us of any differences. Clients are encouraged to phone or e-mail us as often as they deem necessary to receive information regarding the investment tactics and strategies being followed. Retirement plan clients may create and/or review the plan’s Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”). The plan client may also receive quarterly written reports evaluating the performance of the plan’s investments as well as comparing the performance thereof to benchmarks set forth in the IPS or as otherwise determined in our judgment. The information used to generate the reports will be derived from statements provided by the plan fiduciary or third party. This review will include a quantitative and qualitative analysis of investment selections included within the plan and provide third-party commentary on investment options whenever available. ITEM 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation We do not pay a referral fee to third-party promoters. ENZI may from time to time, refer potential clients to another advisor for a fee. ITEM 15 Custody We are deemed to have custody of client funds and securities due to our ability to deduct management fees from clients’ accounts. We will not take physical custody of clients’ funds and will not assign or 15 transfer trading authorization to another advisor. Clients will receive account statements from the qualified custodian(s) holding their funds and securities at least quarterly. The custodian’s account statements will indicate the amount of our advisory fees deducted from the clients’ account(s) each billing period. These statements should be carefully reviewed by the client for accuracy. Item 5 – Fees and Compensation has additional information regarding our ability to deduct management fees from clients’ accounts. We are deemed to have custody as a result of our Standing Letters of Authorization (“SLOA(s)”) to transfer funds from their account to third parties. In such instances where we act under such a SLOA, it is our policy to only initiate these transactions when directed by the client to transfer funds to a third party the client designates for a designated amount and at a designated time, all of their choosing. A surprise examination is not required in this circumstance where we are deemed to have custody due to SLOAs as we are relying on the conditions set forth in the No-Action letter issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2017. Pursuant to the conditions set forth in the No-Action Letter, we confirm that in those situations • you provide an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that includes your signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or the third party’s account number at a custodian to which the transfer should be directed; • you authorize us, in writing, either on the qualified custodian’s form or separately, to direct • transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or from time to time; the qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction, such as a signature review or other method to verify your authorization, and the qualified custodian provides a transfer of funds notice to you promptly after each transfer; • you have the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the qualified custodian; • we have no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third party, the address, or any other information about the third party contained in your instruction; • we maintain records showing that the third party is not a related party of ENZI Wealth or located • at the same address as ENZI Wealth; and the qualified custodian sends you, in writing, an initial notice confirming the instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction. ITEM 16 Investment Discretion DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY FOR TRADING If you are participating in our asset management services, upon receiving your written authorization via our executed investment advisory agreement, we will maintain trading authorization over your designated account and may also implement trades on a discretionary basis. When discretionary authority is granted, we will have the limited authority to determine the type of securities to be purchased, sold, or exchanged and a number of securities that can be bought, sold, or exchanged for your portfolio without obtaining your consent for each transaction. If you do not grant this limited investment discretion, your IAR will be required to contact you and get affirmation regarding our investment recommendations, such as the security being recommended, the 16 number of shares, whether the security should be bought or sold before implementing changes in your account. Once the above factors are agreed upon, we will be responsible for making decisions regarding the timing of buying or selling an investment and the price at which the investment is bought or sold. If your accounts are managed on a non-discretionary basis, it is critical that you respond promptly. If we do not receive a response to our request immediately, the timing of trade implementation may lead to an adverse impact where we may not achieve the optimal trading price. On a case-by-case basis, you may place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments that may be purchased or sold in your account so long as the restrictions are explicitly set forth or included as an attachment to the investment advisory agreement. ITEM 17 Voting Client Securities We do not have the authority to vote proxies as it pertains to the issuers of securities held in your account. The responsibility for voting your securities places increased liability to us and does not add enough value to the services provided to you to justify the additional compliance and regulatory costs associated with voting your securities. Therefore, you are responsible for voting all proxies for securities held in accounts managed by us. Typically, our qualified custodian will forward you your proxy information. Although we do not vote your proxies, you can contact us if you have a question about a particular proxy. ITEM 18 Financial Information We are not required to include a balance sheet for our most recent fiscal year. We are not subject to a financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet contractual commitments to our clients. We are currently not in, nor have been historically in a financially precarious situation or the subject of a bankruptcy petition. 17
