Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Essex Private Wealth Management LLC (herein “Essex Private Wealth Management” or the “Advisor”) is a
registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which is organized as
a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Essex Private
Wealth Management was founded in 2009 by Brian A. Woodland (Managing Member) and is owned by
Huntwicke Capital Group, Inc., the parent company and is operated by Mr. Woodland and Peter E. Mullholland
(Chief Investment Officer and Chief Compliance Officer). This Disclosure Brochure provides information
regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by Essex Private Wealth
Management.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Essex Private Wealth Management offers advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts,
estates, retirement plans and charitable organizations (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 potential
conflicts of interest. Essex Private Wealth Management’s fiduciary commitment is further described in the
Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of
Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Wealth Management Services
Essex Private Wealth Management may provide Clients with wealth management services, which generally
includes a broad range of comprehensive financial planning services in connection with discretionary
management of investment portfolios. These services are described below.
Investment Management Services
Essex Private Wealth Management provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is
achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing both discretionary and non-
discretionary investment management services. Essex Private Wealth Management works with each Client to
identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create an
investment strategy. Essex Private Wealth Management will then construct a portfolio primarily consisting of
mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). In addition, from time-to-time, Essex Private Wealth
Management may utilize individual stocks and bonds, U.S. government securities, and other investments as
necessary to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may retain other types of investments from the
Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as
identified between the Advisor and the Client.
Essex Private Wealth Management’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may
buy, sell or re-allocate positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or
due to market conditions. Essex Private Wealth Management will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio
to ensure it meets 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 the acceptance by the Advisor.
Essex Private Wealth Management evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after
applying their internal due diligence process. Essex Private Wealth Management may recommend, on occasion,
redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. Essex Private Wealth Management 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. Essex Private Wealth Management
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 Client, generating cash to meet Client
needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.

All Client assets will be managed within their designated account[s] at the Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the
investment advisory agreement. For additional information, please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices and Item
15 – Custody.
Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement
accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will
provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the
assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to
another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account
to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or
increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a
retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
Financial Planning Services
Essex Private Wealth Management will typically provide a variety of financial planning services to individuals and
families, as a part of its wealth management services or pursuant to a written financial planning agreement.
Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals or objectives.
Generally, such financial planning services will involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial
consultation for Clients. This planning may encompass one or more areas of need, including, but not limited to
investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings and other areas of a Client’s
financial situation.
A financial plan developed for or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs. Essex Private Wealth
Management may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or another specialist, as appropriate for their
unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of
Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the
Advisor may not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six months of
contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the
Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for investment
management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would increase the
advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made by the
Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the
recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through
the Advisor.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Essex Private Wealth Management provides advisory services on behalf of company retirement plans (each a
“Plan”) and the company/sponsor (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are
designed to assist the Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and Plan Participants. Each
engagement is customized to the needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services generally include:
• Vendor Analysis
• Plan Participant Enrollment and Education Tracking
• Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
• Investment Management
• Performance Reporting
• Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
• ERISA 404(c) Assistance

• Benchmarking Services
These services are provided by Essex Private Wealth Management serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). The Advisor may serve as either
a 3(21) Fiduciary (non-discretionary) or a 3(38) Fiduciary, assuming investment discretion over Plan assets. In
accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2), the Plan Sponsor is provided with a written description of Essex
Private Wealth Management’s fiduciary status, the specific services to be rendered and all direct and indirect
compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Essex Private Wealth Management to provide investment advisory services, each Client is
required to enter into one or more advisory agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions,
authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – Essex Private Wealth Management, in connection with the Client,
will develop a strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Essex Private Wealth Management will develop a strategic asset allocation investment
strategy that is targeted to meet the investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance
for risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – Essex Private Wealth Management will develop a portfolio for the Client that is
intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – Essex Private Wealth Management will provide investment

D. Wrap Fee Programs
Essex Private Wealth Management does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment
management services are provided directly by Essex Private Wealth Management.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, Essex Private Wealth Management manages $293,647,777 in Client assets,
$281,215,246 of which are managed on a discretionary basis and $12,432,531 on a non-discretionary basis.

Negotiable
Certain Clients, including legacy Clients, may have a fee schedule and billing methodology that differs from above.
The advisory fee in the first quarter of service is prorated to the inception date of the account[s] to the end of the
first quarter. At the end of the first quarter, the Client is billed for the first quarter’s prorated fee as well as the next
quarter’s fee. Fees are negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. In addition, the Client may be billed at a fixed
fee rather than a percentage of assets under management. At no time will the fixed fee exceed the annual rate
disclosed in the fee schedule disclosed above. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets
under management with Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by Essex Private Wealth Management
will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s
valuation to ensure accurate billing.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to, any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and
other related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the
Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Financial Planning Services
Essex Private Wealth Management offers standalone financial planning services on an hourly basis at a rate of
$250. Fees may be negotiable depending on the nature and complexity of each Client’s circumstances. An estimate
for total hours and overall cost will be provided to the Client prior to engaging for these services.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual asset-based fee up to 1.00%, billed quarterly in
advance, pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Retirement plan fees are based on the market value of assets
under management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Fees are negotiable based on the size and complexity
of the Plan.
B. Fee Billing
Investment Management Services
Advisory fees for investment management will be calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the
Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Advisor or its delegate 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 Essex Private Wealth Management at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at
least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the advisory fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to
verify the accuracy of these fees as listed on the Custodian’s brokerage statement as the Custodian does not
assume this responsibility. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Essex
Private Wealth Management directly from their accounts held by the Custodian as part of the advisory agreement
and separate account forms provided by the Custodian. If so desired, the Client may choose to be billed directly by
Essex Private Wealth Management for fees.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning fees are invoiced up to fifty percent (50%) upon execution of the financial planning agreement
with the remaining balance due upon the completion of the engagement deliverable[s].
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the assets of the Plan, depending on the terms
of the retirement plan advisory agreement.

C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Essex Private Wealth Management,
in connection with investment made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody
and securities execution fees charged by the Custodian, if applicable. The Advisor’s recommended custodian does
not charge securities transaction fees for ETFs and equity trades in Client accounts, but does charge for mutual
funds and other types of investments. The advisory fee charged by Essex Private Wealth Management is separate
and distinct from these custody and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to Essex Private Wealth Management for 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 Essex
Private Wealth Management, but would not receive the services provided by Essex Private Wealth Management
which are designed, among other things, to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most
appropriate to each Client’s financial condition and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees
charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by Essex Private Wealth Management to fully understand the total
fees to be paid.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Investment Management Services
Essex Private Wealth Management is compensated for its investment management 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 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, any unearned, prepaid advisory fees will be refunded to the
Client. The Client’s advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Financial Planning Services
Essex Private Wealth Management may be partially compensated for its financial planning services before
commencing the engagement. Either party may terminate a planning agreement, at any time, by providing written
notice to the other party within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s financial planning agreement. Upon
termination, 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. Any unearned, prepaid fees will be refunded to the Client. The
Client’s financial planning agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Essex Private Wealth Management is compensated for its retirement plan advisory services in advance of the
quarter in which services are rendered. Either party may terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement at any
time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. Upon termination, 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
and the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid investment advisory fees from the effective date of termination to
the end of the calendar quarter. The Client’s retirement plan advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-
transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Essex Private Wealth Management does not buy or sell securities and does not receive any compensation for
securities transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Advisory Persons are also registered representatives of Huntwicke Securities, LLC (“Huntwicke Securities”) an
affiliated broker-dealer. Huntwicke Securities is a registered broker-dealer (CRD No. 146993), member FINRA,
SIPC. In one’s separate capacity as a registered representative of Huntwicke Securities, an Advisory Person will
implement securities transactions under Huntwicke Securities and not through Essex Private Wealth Management.
In such instances, an Advisory Person and certain members of the Advisor’s management will receive commission-
based compensation in connection with the purchase and sale of securities, including 12b-1 fees for the sale of

Page 8
investment company products. Compensation earned by an Advisory Person in one’s capacity as a registered
representative is separate and in addition to the Advisor’s fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because
an Advisory Person who is a registered representative has an incentive to effect securities transactions for the
purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on the Client. Clients are not obligated to implement
any recommendation provided by the Advisor nor Advisory Persons. Neither the Advisor nor Advisory Persons will
earn ongoing investment advisory fees in connection with any products or services implemented in the Advisory
Person’s separate capacity as a registered representative. Please see Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities
and Affiliations.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees
Essex Private Wealth Management does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory
services. The fees charged by Essex Private Wealth Management are as described in Item 5 above and are not
based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held by any Client.
Essex Private Wealth Management 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.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Essex Private Wealth Management provides advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts,
estates, retirement plans and charitable organizations. The amount of each type of Client is available on the
Advisor's Form ADV Part 1A. These amounts may change over time and are updated at least annually by the
Advisor. Essex Private Wealth Management generally requires a minimum relationship size of $50,000, which
may be reduced at the sole discretion of the Advisor.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Essex Private Wealth Management employs fundamental and technical analysis methods in developing
investment strategies for its Clients. Research and analysis from Essex Private Wealth Management 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.
Mutual fund analysis reviews all current mutual fund holdings for the firm in addition to, individual account[s] for
share class conversions for suitability towards the Client goals. The Advisor will then identify the fund family
funds with the institutional or the Advisor share class availability. The Advisor monitors these funds to determine
if the Client would benefit from a share class conversion.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. These criteria
are generally ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being
analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment
with a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps 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 the fundamental 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.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in determining the
recommendations made to Clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts to identify market patterns
and trends, which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. The
primary risk in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the

https://www.essexprivate.com
Page 9
future. Even if the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that Essex Private Wealth Management will
be able to accurately predict such a reoccurrence.
As noted above, Essex Private Wealth Management generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its
Clients, as consistent with their financial goals. Essex Private Wealth Management 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, Essex Private Wealth Management 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. Essex Private Wealth Management 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.
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.
Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment 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 an ETF 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 a mutual fund 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.
Bond Risks
Bonds are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e. the risk that bond prices will
fall if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to maturity, and the coupon
rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e. the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower rate than
was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e. the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at a rate that

repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e. the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the
company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6) Liquidity
Risks, i.e. the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the bond.
Alternative Investments (Limited Partnerships)
The performance of alternative investments (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. Client should only have a portion of their assets in these investments.
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 Essex Private Wealth Management or any
of its Supervised Persons. Essex Private Wealth Management values the trust you place in the Advisor. The
Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider in which the
Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor and its Advisory Persons are available on the Investment
Adviser Public Disclosure website at http://adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or
CRD# 149991.
Item 10 – Other Financial Activities and Affiliations
Broker-Dealer Affiliation
As noted in Item 5.E., Advisory Persons of Essex Private Wealth Management also serve as registered
representatives of Huntwicke Securities. In an Advisory Person’s separate capacity as a registered
representative, will receive commissions for the implementation of recommendations for commissionable
transactions. Due to common ownership, Mr. Woodland may receive compensation. Clients are not obligated to
implement any recommendation provided by any Advisory Persons. Neither the Advisor nor its Advisory Persons
will earn ongoing investment advisory fees in connection with any services implemented in one’s separate
capacity as a registered representative.
Huntwicke Capital Group Inc.
Mr. Woodland is the President of Huntwicke Capital Group Inc. (herein “HCG”). This is a holding company to
several real estate properties and businesses throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Mr. Woodland is
solely compensated from HCG on a salary basis. The Advisor nor Mr. Woodland does not offer or recommend
Clients to invest in these properties owned by HCG. Mr. Woodland spends less than 70% of his time in this
position.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
The Advisor has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to
each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with the Advisor (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was
developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to the
Client. The Advisor and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each
Client. It is the obligation of the Advisor associates 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 the Advisor at (978) 887-5981 or
via email at pmulholland@essexprivate.com.

Page 11
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
The Advisor allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. Essex Private Wealth Management does not act as principal in any
transactions. In addition, the Advisor does not advise an investment company. Essex Private Wealth
Management does not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
The Advisor allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to
Clients presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through
policies and procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code, which addresses insider trading
(material non-public information controls) and personal securities reporting procedures. When trading for
personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The fiduciary
duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can 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 Essex
Private Wealth Management requiring reporting of personal securities trades, by its Supervised Persons for
review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). The Advisor has also adopted written policies and procedures to
detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While the Advisor allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended
to and purchased on behalf of Clients, these trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded
afterwards. At no time, will the Advisor or any Supervised Person, transact in any security to the
detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Essex Private Wealth Management 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 Essex Private Wealth Management to direct trades to the Custodian as
agreed in the investment advisory agreement. Further, Essex Private Wealth Management does not have the
discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where Essex Private Wealth Management does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, the
Advisor may recommend the Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to
use the recommended Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a
custodian not recommended by Essex Private Wealth Management. However, the Advisor may be limited in the
services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is not engaged. Essex Private Wealth Management 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, reputation and/or location of the Custodian’s offices. Essex
Private Wealth Management does not receive research services, other products, or compensation as a result of
recommending a particular broker-dealer/custodian that may result in the Client paying higher commissions than
those obtainable through other broker-dealer/custodians. Essex Private Wealth Management typically
recommends to Clients that they established their brokerage account[s] at Fidelity Clearing & Custody Solutions,
a division of Fidelity Investments, Inc. (collectively “Fidelity”). Fidelity is independent and unaffiliated SEC-
registered broker-dealers and FINRA members. Fidelity offers independent investment advisors services, which
include custody of securities, trade execution, clearance and settlement of transactions. Essex Private Wealth
Management receives certain benefits from Fidelity through its participation in the program.
Essex Private Wealth Management assists certain Clients with the management of 529 Plans. In these
instances, Essex Private Wealth Management generally recommends and invests Clients assets in the American
Funds or Fidelity.
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:

Page 12
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. Essex Private Wealth Management does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or
offered by any broker-dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor does receive certain benefits from Fidelity, as
detailed in Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - Essex Private Wealth Management 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 Essex Private Wealth
Management will place trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further,
all Client accounts are traded within their respective account[s] at the Custodian, unless otherwise directed by the
Client. Under these circumstances, the direction by a Client to execute trades with a particular Custodian means
that the Advisor does not have the ability to choose the price of the security traded or the commission paid. The
result could be higher commissions, greater spreads or less favorable net prices, than if the Advisor was
empowered to negotiate commission rates or spreads freely, or to select brokers or dealers based on best
execution.
To address the conflicts with regards to the limitations of client-directed brokerage with respect to best execution,
the Advisor will provide full and accurate disclosures within the Advisory Agreement and Disclosure Brochure.
Additionally, the Advisor conducts ongoing best execution due diligence to ensure its Custodian recommendation
is in the best interest of the Client. 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]). Essex Private Wealth Management 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 the order, 3) difficulty of
execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. Essex Private Wealth Management will
execute its transactions through the Custodian as authorized by the Client, unless otherwise directed in writing
by the Client. Essex Private Wealth Management may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when
securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian 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
particular Clients’ accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by the Advisory Persons. 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., each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. 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 Essex Private Wealth
Management if changes occur in his/her personal financial situation that might adversely affect his/her
investment plan. Additional reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events.

Page 13
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
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 brokerage
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 Essex Private Wealth Management
Huntwicke Securities, LLC
Mr. Woodland is a registered representative and owner of Huntwicke Securities of Topsfield, MA. Huntwicke
Securities is a registered broker-dealer (CRD No. 146993), member FINRA, SIPC. In his separate capacity as a
registered representative, Mr. Woodland will receive commissions for the implementation of recommendations for
commissionable transactions.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
Essex Private Wealth Management has established an institutional relationship with Fidelity to assist the Advisor in
managing Client account[s]. Access to the Fidelity Institutional platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor. The
Advisor receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment
management services to Clients that maintain assets at Fidelity. The software and related systems support may
benefit the Advisor, but not its Clients directly. 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 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.
Additionally, the Advisor may receive the following benefits from Fidelity: receipt of duplicate Client confirmations
and bundled duplicate statements; access to a trading desk that exclusively services its institutional participants;
access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions and then allocate the
appropriate shares to Client accounts; and access to an electronic communication network for Client order entry
and account information.
B. Client Referrals from Promoters
The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for
Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
Essex Private Wealth Management does not accept or maintain custody of Client accounts, except for the limited
circumstances outlined below:
Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction
of advisory fees, all Clients for whom Essex Private Wealth Management exercises discretionary authority must
hold their assets with a "qualified custodian." Clients are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to
safeguard their funds and securities and must instruct Essex Private Wealth Management to utilize that
Custodian for securities transactions on their behalf. Clients are encouraged to review statements provided by
the Custodian and compare to any reports provided by Essex Private Wealth Management to ensure accuracy,
as the Custodian does not perform this review.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Essex Private Wealth Management may have 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

Page 14
sales may be subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client
and agreed to by Essex Private Wealth Management. 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 Essex
Private Wealth Management will be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Under limited circumstances, Essex Private Wealth Management may manage accounts on a non-discretionary
basis. In these instances, Essex Private Wealth Management provides recommendations to Clients and if
recommendations are approved, Essex Private Wealth Management will implement in accordance with the Client’s
instructions.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Essex Private Wealth Management 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
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Essex Private Wealth Management, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that
would reasonably impair the ability of Essex Private Wealth Management to meet all obligations to its Clients.
Neither Essex Private Wealth Management, nor any of its Advisory Persons, has been subject to a bankruptcy or
financial compromise. Essex Private Wealth Management is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with
this Disclosure Brochure, as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 for services to be performed six
months or more in advance.

CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (“CFP®”)
The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP® and federally registered CFP® (with flame design) marks
(collectively, the “CFP® marks”) are professional certification marks granted in the United States by Certified
Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP® Board”).
The CFP® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or regulation requires financial planners
to hold CFP® certification. It is recognized in the United States and a number of other countries for its (1) high
standard of professional education; (2) stringent code of conduct and standards of practice; and (3) ethical
requirements that govern professional engagements with clients. Currently, more than 71,000 individuals have
obtained CFP® certification in the United States.
To attain the right to use the CFP® marks, an individual must satisfactorily fulfill the following requirements:
• Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study addressing the financial planning
subject areas that CFP® Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the competent and
professional delivery of financial planning services, and attain a Bachelor’s Degree from a regionally
accredited United States college or university (or its equivalent from a foreign university). CFP® Board’s
financial planning subject areas include insurance planning and risk management, employee benefits
planning, investment planning, income tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning;
• Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination includes case
studies and client scenarios designed to test one’s ability to correctly diagnose financial planning issues
and apply one’s knowledge of financial planning to real world circumstances;
• Experience – Complete at least three years of full-time financial planning-related experience (or the
equivalent, measured as 2,000 hours per year); and
• Ethics – Agree to be bound by CFP® Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct, a set of documents
outlining the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements in
order to maintain the right to continue to use the CFP® marks:
• Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education hours every two years, including two
hours on the Code of Ethics and other parts of the Standards of Professional Conduct, to maintain
competence and keep up with developments in the financial planning field; and
• Ethics – Renew an agreement to be bound by the Standards of Professional Conduct. The Standards
prominently require that CFP® professionals provide financial planning services at a fiduciary standard of
care. This means CFP® professionals must provide financial planning services in the best interests of
their clients.
CFP® professionals who fail to comply with the above standards and requirements may be subject to CFP®
Board’s enforcement process, which could result in suspension or permanent revocation of their CFP®
certification.
