Item 4 – Advisory Business
Fellowship Financial Planning, LLC (“Fellowship”) was created to deliver wisdom, guidance and service
in fiduciary investment management and financial planning for individuals, families and business
owners. Fellowship is owned by Ryan Heacock and was formally registered in 2024 as an independent
registered investment advisor.
Investment Management: Our Investment Management is designed to assist clients in meeting their
unique financial goals through the use of financial investments. Fellowship utilizes various securities,
including but not limited to; stocks, bonds, mutual funds, electronically traded funds (ETF), certificates
of deposit, real estate investment trusts (REIT), preferred stock, U.S Treasury bonds and other
investments available through the custodian selected by the client. In some cases when appropriate,
Fellowship will use fee-based annuities for Investment Management.
Please refer to Item 8 for information on risks associated with investments selected by Fellowship. We
offer Biblically Responsible Investing (“BRI”) through specific investment models and strategies. It is
important to know there are certain risks associated with BRI that are discussed further in Item 8. Clients
may impose restrictions on purchasing various investments and we will tailor investment management
based upon the individual needs of the client. In determining the appropriate suitability for the Client,
Fellowship will consider all information provided by the Client. Clients receive ongoing portfolio
construction, investment selection, monitoring, rebalancing, reporting and execution of trades on a
discretionary basis, which means we will not obtain Client’s consent before making trades. Incidental
financial planning is provided as needed in conjunction with the Investment Management and includes
assisting clients with investment advice, financial goals and objectives analysis, as well as financial and
retirement planning.
Financial Planning: Clients can engage Fellowship specifically for Financial Planning, which includes
investment advice, financial goals and objectives analysis, as well as financial and retirement planning.
It is important to know that all clients have different needs and requirements so not all services are
provided to all clients in Financial Planning.
Financial Consulting: Fellowship provides ongoing financial advice, research and recommendations
on an ongoing basis through our Financial Consulting program. Through this program Clients are able
to access Fellowship for advice on an ongoing basis.
Assets: As of December 31, 2025 we managed $465,326,040 on a discretionary basis.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
In most situations, the fee for Investment Management for will be based on the amount of assets under
management (“AUM”), as determined by the independent qualified custodian. Clients for Investment
Management are provided an advisory agreement (“Agreement”) that outlines our services, as well as
a description of the fees charged (“Advisory Fees”). Typically, Advisory Fees will be charged every
three months and in advance, based on the value of the assets at the beginning of the three-month
period. Accounts opened under the Agreement will be aggregated together for determining AUM during
the billing process, which may provide the client a lower Advisory Fee rate. Our standard Advisory Fee
schedule for Individual Accounts is as follows:
1.50%
$0 to $1,000,000
$1,000,000 to $2,000,000 1.25%
1.00%
Over $2,000,000
Our Advisory Fee is calculated on a breakpoints, so clients will pay one rate that corresponds to their
total AUM. Advisory Fees we charge are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by
investments like mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs). In these cases, the fees and
3
expenses are described in each fund's prospectus or available through common financial websites.
These fees will generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, and a possible distribution
fee. In the event a fee-based annuity is utilized for a client, the fees for Investment management of the
same will be outlined in the Agreement signed between Fellowship and the client.
Financial Planning is charged at a rate of $1,500 per plan and is considered completed upon delivery
and explanation of the financial plan. Fees for Financial Consulting are based on the arrangement,
and will be priced based upon a scope of services proposed to the client—not to exceed $10,000 per
year or on an hourly basis not to exceed $500 per hour. Flat Financial Consulting fees are charged
quarterly and in advance and hourly Financial Consulting is payable after the services are provided.
Financial Planning and Financial Consulting fees are paid by check, ACH or through any taxable
account opened through Investment Management.
In addition to our Advisor Fee, clients are also responsible for the transaction charges, fees and other
expenses charged and imposed by the firm (“Custodian”) who holds the client assets. Accordingly,
clients should review both the fees charged by the funds/ETFs, the Custodian and the fees charged by
the Advisor to fully understand the total amount of fees to be paid.
The fees for Advisory Fees, Financial Planning and Financial Consulting may be negotiated, lowered
or waived for family, friends or based upon the complexity level of the client situation. In some situations
Investment Management Clients are on a flat fee schedule based upon the historical relationship.
Clients provide us authorization to electronically debit our fees in the Agreement and custodial
paperwork. Clients can cancel the Agreement for Investment Management without any charges and
penalties within 5 business days after contract execution.
In the event a client terminates our services Advisory Fees will be charged until the notice of termination
is provided by the client. Any fees charged in advance will be rebated for the unused portion of the fee.
Advisory Fees are electronically debited from client accounts. The value of the fee used to calculate
the Advisory Fee will include all positions in the account, cash, dividends, accrued interest and interest
payments unless specifically excluded in the Special Instructions section of the Agreement. Similar
services may be offered by other advisors at a lower fee.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
We do not charge any performance based fees, nor do we have any side-by-side management.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
We provide services to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations (non-profits), corporations,
associations and other business entities (such as limited liability companies, networks or limited
partnerships). We do not have a minimum fee.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis:
While the methods of analysis are constantly evolving, many decisions and recommendations are made
using the methods noted below. It is important to know that all methods of analysis are subject to being
inaccurate in their projection, deduction, or direction—which could result in the Risk of Loss as
discussed later in this section.
Quantitative Analysis: An analysis technique that seeks to understand behavior by using complex
mathematical and statistical modeling, measurement, and research. By assigning a numerical value to
variables, quantitative analysts try to replicate reality mathematically. Some believe that it can also be
used to predict real-world events, such as changes in a share price.
Qualitative Analysis: Securities analysis that uses subjective judgment based on non-quantifiable
information, such as management expertise, industry cycles, strength of research and development,
4
and labor relations. This type of analysis technique is different from quantitative analysis, which focuses
on numbers. The two techniques, however, are often used together.
Modern Portfolio Theory: Is the process of maximizing the expected return of the portfolio for a given
amount of portfolio risk.
Charting: Includes the review of charts of market and security activity in an attempt to identify when
the market is moving up or down and to predict how long the trend may last and when that trend might
reverse.
Biblically Responsible Investing (“BRI”): is a values-based approach that seeks to align investment
decisions with Christian values and principles. This strategy integrates traditional financial analysis with
a biblically-based screening process.
Investment Strategies:
We have the ability to construct client portfolios using a wide variety of investments, including stocks,
bonds, certificates of deposit, exchange traded funds, mutual funds, closed end funds, unit investment
trusts, structured notes, options and other investments available through the brokerage firm where
client assets are held in custody. While we typically will not include option strategies for portfolios we
manage, there may be situations where clients transfer in previously purchased or received options
and we will work with the client to dispose of or incorporate the options into their overall investment
allocation. Additionally, the portion of cash that is included in the asset allocation is included in the
advisory fees. Although any cash held by the client in the account(s) and designated as unmanaged
assets will not be included in the Advisory Fee.
We also use various investment strategies: Long Term Purchases – investments purchased with the
expectation to hold the position over a long period of time, typically longer than one year. In addition
to the Risk of Loss discussed below, long-term investing has the risk of losing value or returns not being
enough to reach financial goals. Short Term Purchases – investments purchased with the expectation
that they will be quickly sold within a short time period. These investments have the risk of additional
taxation and trade cost impacting performance. Margin Transactions – a transaction where the client
would borrow money to purchase a security and the underlying position is used as collateral on the
loan. Risks of margin could include magnified losses in the event of poor performance. Options – an
investment that that involves buying or selling a right to purchase or sell a security at a specific price
for a specified time. The risk of trading or investing in options include the expiration of the option with
no value, or thinly traded markets which could impact the liquidity of the investment. It should be known
that frequent trading can affect investment performance through increased brokerage and other
transaction costs and taxes. Through BRI we may utilize a selection of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)
or mutual funds that are explicitly managed with a BRI mandate. We may also create and utilize model
portfolios that is made up of ETFs, mutuals funds or direct individual equities that meet our BRI
screening criteria.
Risk Information:
Investing in all types of investments has various risks and all investments have the risk of losing value
that clients should be prepared to bear. Some investments for fixed income have the risk of defaulting
on interest or principal payments. Investors are also faced with the risk that inflation will outpace the
returns of the investment, which lowers the purchasing power of that investor. Rebalancing a portfolio
may cause taxable events, which could raise the client’s taxes. Investing in options incurs the risk of
the option expiring as well as going down in value. Accounts holding a large cash position risks
underperforming other investments that are experiencing higher returns. It is important clients
understand that there are numerous risks associated with their investments.
Investing in BRI has performance risks noted above, plus the risks of a limited investment universe
(significant numbers of investments excluded from potential investment universe), inconsistent
5
screening methodologies which may vary; as well as subjectivity of criteria (what one person interprets
as a biblical principle may be subjective). It is important for clients to know that investing in BRI may
produce returns below the inclusive market.
Additional risks include the inaccurate assumptions used in financial projections that could impair the
results of a financial plan. Clients must understand that it is impossible to completely predict or project
variables that go into Financial Planning, such as investment returns, inflation, etc. All Financial
Planning bears the risk that the advice provided may be inaccurate. We recommend that clients discuss
any concerns directly with us. Investing in non-traded REITS incurs the risk of loss, as well as a lack
of liquidity.
We also may provide assistance in areas to help clients through complex and emotional issues that
have uncertain and unpredictable outcomes. We strive to provide comprehensive information and
assistance to help clients make wise and thoughtful decisions. However, it is important that all clients
know we cannot foresee all situations and results may differ significantly from our initial and ongoing
analysis. Except where specifically assigned to us, the clients retain the ultimate authority for all
decision-making and outcomes.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
We have not been the subject of any disciplinary, criminal or civil actions.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Neither Fellowship nor any affiliated persons are registered or have an application to register as a
registered representative, futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or as a commodity
trading advisor.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
We have implemented policies and procedures to govern our employees and to mitigate the conflicts
of interest we encounter when providing our advisory services to clients. These include:
• A Code of Ethics that each employee is required to review and sign an acknowledgement of
receipt and understanding (upon hire, and annually);
• Prohibitions on the misuse of material non-public information;
• Personal securities trading policies and procedures (governing not only our employee but also
the members of their household and any other securities or brokerage accounts where they have
beneficial ownership of with a spouse, family member or other person). Employees are not
allowed to:
o Trade on inside information.
o “Front-run” or trade in anticipation of client transactions.
o Trade or participate in any activity prohibited under the federal securities laws.
o Place their interests in front of clients.
We strive to achieve the highest ethical and fiduciary standards (in dealing with clients, the public,
vendors, prospective clients and each other). As a fiduciary, we have an affirmative duty to act with
integrity, competence, and care; this includes disclosing all potential and actual conflicts of interest.
We perform services for various other clients. We do not have any material financial interest in
recommended securities outside of situations noted in this section. We may give advice or take actions
for our clients that differ from the advice given to other clients. Our firm and its “related persons” may
buy or sell securities similar to, or different from, those we recommend to clients for their accounts. In
an effort to reduce or eliminate certain conflicts of interest involving the firm or personal trading, our
policy may require that we restrict or prohibit associates’ transactions in specific reportable securities
6
transactions. We maintain the required personal securities transaction records per regulation.
Principals and supervised persons of our firm may also invest in securities at the same time, before, or
after clients. In an effort to reduce or eliminate certain conflicts of interest involving the firm or personal
trading, our policy may require that we restrict or prohibit associates’ transactions in specific securities
transactions. As mentioned above, we maintain the required personal securities transaction records
per regulation.
The timing or nature of any action taken for all clients or other sponsors may also vary. For more
information or to request a copy of our Code of Ethics, please contact us at 509-473-9483.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
For Investment Management Individual Accounts, we will likely recommend LPL Financial, LLC
(“Custodian”) to hold the assets, although the client is ultimately responsible for selecting the Custodian.
Additional factors used to determine which Custodian to recommend include electronic access to
trading and client accounts, discounts on software, historical relationship with us, execution capabilities,
reputation, financial strength, products and services, compliance, research and technology and other
operational support that may benefit us, but not the client. This could create a conflict that the
recommendation of Custodian is based on research, products and/or services and not based on the
Custodian providing the best execution for transactions in client accounts. In all cases, we must place
the interests of the client in front of our own. If clients select an alternative broker-dealer or a fee-based
annuity for the their assets, they may pay a higher or lower commission and prohibit us from blocking
transactions. We do not receive client referrals from any custodian or third parties. There are other
custodians utilized for specific investments, such as 401ks or insurance products.
In some cases, we may aggregate or block trade multiple client accounts. Doing so allows some
efficiency in the transactions, although it does not ensure the client will receive a reduction in trading
costs or a better execution price than if the trade was enacted separately. It is possible that
rebalancing/trading accounts are done so randomly which could result in clients holding different
positions and receiving higher or lower prices than other accounts with similar investment objectives.
It may be possible for employees to buy or sell securities in their personal accounts that were also
purchased in the client account. As noted earlier we have a strict policy against using the trade flow of
clients to economically benefit us or our employees.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Client accounts are reviewed on a regular basis, typically on a quarterly basis. However, clients may
request more frequent reviews. There are many factors that might bring about a review of accounts,
including regular review dates, supervision reviews, economic changes, political disruptions or other
market activity. We encourage clients to carefully review the written reports we provide as well as the
statements provided by the Custodian. Clients should rely on the statement for the actual value of the
account. We may also provide clients with reports which may have a different value than statements
provided by the Custodian. This difference could be due to trade date versus settlement date
reconciliations, accrued interest, or the exclusion/inclusion of a private security that we may have
recommended to clients (or, that clients were invested in). Also, we encourage clients to contact their
Custodian immediately if they do not receive their monthly statement directly from the Custodian. For
further information on any billing information contained in your reports, please refer to Item 5 of this
document as well as the Advisory Agreement.
Supervision of the firm is the responsibility of Jennifer Ellison, Chief Compliance Officer of the firm. The
review includes the performance of the accounts and positions. It is critical that clients report any
changes in their financial situation so we can ensure they are invested properly. If you have any
questions on the supervision or review of accounts, please call Jennifer Ellison at 509-473-9483.

Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
As mentioned earlier, we receive certain indirect benefits from the Custodian. We may also receive
additional non-monetary compensation from various vendors, product providers, distributors, and
others. These providers may provide compensation by paying some expenses related to training and
education, including travel expenses, and attaining professional designations. We might receive
payments to subsidize our own training programs. Certain vendors may invite us to participate in
conferences, on-line training or receive publications that may further our skills and knowledge. Some
may occasionally provide us with gifts, meals, and entertainment of reasonable value consistent with
industry rules and regulations. However, we do not receive or pay any compensation, directly or
indirectly, for client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
As noted in the Advisory Agreement signed by the client, we have the ability to deduct our advisory fee
directly from client accounts. Additionally, we are reporting custody on certain accounts where the client
has requested the ability to electronically transfer assets to a third-party through a standing limited
power of attorney (known as a SLOA). Although, we do not have any relationship, affiliation or share
an address with any of the third parties, we are following SEC guidelines to report having custody of
these assets.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Clients engage us on a discretionary basis by executing the Agreement, granting full authority to buy,
sell, or otherwise effect investment transactions in the accounts. Clients may note investment
restrictions on the special instructions section of the Agreement, by email or in writing.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
We do not vote proxies on behalf of clients. Clients will receive all proxy voting materials directly from
the custodian. The client maintains exclusive responsibility for voting all proxies generated from the
securities, although we are available to assist with any questions.
Item 18 – Financial Information
We do not have any financial issue or situation that would impair our ability to deliver services to our
clients. Nor has the firm or any principal shareholders filed bankruptcy. Additionally, we do not require
prepayment of advisory fees more than $500 per client, six months or more in advance.
