YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR FIRM
FIDELIS iM is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser. This is an abbreviated, easy
to understand synopsis of ADV Part 1 and Part 2A, designed to help you ascertain the differences between a broker and a
Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) and compare services. This is an important distinction and services and fees may differ.
We have included convenient conversation starters to help you with questions about our firm.

Relationships and Services
What investment services and advice can we provide you?
When you partner with us, we become a fiduciary with respect to your investments. Our reputation for client success stems from our unique,
disciplined approach to investment management. To optimize the growth of your portfolio, we apply the science of risk mitigation and
diversified asset allocation instead of speculative buying and selling. This long-term, academically sound, relationship driven approach
ensures that your interests are put first and your success is our top priority.
INVESTMENT ADVISORY FINANCIAL PLANNING RETIREMENT PLANNING
We provide financial services on a discretionary basis. This means that you give us permission to manage your portfolio and make prudent
investment decisions on your behalf. Investment portfolios are monitored daily. We do not provide services on a non‐discretionary basis. For
additional information regarding our services, please see our ADV Part 2A.
MINIMUM INVESTMENT ACCOUNT SIZE IS $500,000
Questions you might ask
How will you choose investments to
recommend to me?
Given my financial situation, should I
choose an investment advisory service?
Why or why not?
What is your relevant experience, including
your licenses, education, and other
qualifications? What do these qualifications
mean?
Fees, Costs, Conflicts, and Standard of Conduct
What fees will you pay?
We are a fee-based investment firm, meaning we charge you a percentage of your portfolio. Our fees are based on how much
we are managing for you. Please note that you will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments.
Fees and costs will reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. It is important to understand the
fees and costs you are paying. Examples of fees you will pay are custodial fees and fund expenses. More information can be
found in our ADV Part 2A.
ANNUAL INVESTMENT FEE: 1% on first $1 Million, 0.75% over $1 Million
Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my investments. If I give you $500,000 (our
account minimum) how much will go to fees and costs, and how much will be invested for me?
What are our legal obligations when acting as your investment adviser? How else does your firm make
money and what conflicts of interest do you have?
When we act as your investment adviser, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the
same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. You should understand and ask us about these
conflicts because they can affect the investment advice we provide you. For example, our investment fees are aligned with
assets under management which does provide an incentive to encourage increased assets in your account. This could be
perceived as a conflict of interest. More information can be found in our ADV Part 2A.
How might your conflicts of interest affect me and how will you address them?
How do your financial professionals make money?
Our financial professionals are paid a salary and are not compensated by product sales, commissions, or investment
recommendations made to you. Firm revenue is derived by the investment advisory, financial planning, and retirement
planning services we provide to our clients.
Disciplinary History
Do our financial professionals have legal or disciplinary history?
No. Please visit investor.gov/crs for a free and simple tool to research our firm and financial professionals.
