ITEM 4 – ADVISORY BUSINESS
This Disclosure document is being offered to you by Fidelis Wealth Advisors, LLC (“Fidelis” or “Firm”) about the
investment advisory services we provide. It discloses information about our services and the way those services
are made available to you, the client.
Fidelis is an investment management firm located in Castle Rock, Colorado. Fidelis Wealth Advisors’ services
include investment management, financial planning, and consulting services. We specialize in investment advi-
sory services for individuals, high net worth individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, employee-sponsored
retirement plans, charitable organizations, trusts, estates, and corporations. Our Firm became a registered in-
vestment adviser in May 2018. Samuel Rey Tenney is the Managing Member and sole owner of Fidelis Wealth
Advisors.
We are committed to helping clients build, manage and preserve their wealth, and to provide assistance that
helps clients to achieve their stated financial goals. We will offer an initial complimentary meeting upon our
discretion; however, investment advisory services are initiated only after you and Fidelis execute an Investment
Management Agreement.
INVESTMENT AND WEALTH MANAGEMENT SERVICES
We manage advisory accounts on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis. For discretionary accounts, once
we have determined a profile and investment plan with a client, we will execute the day-to-day transactions
without seeking prior client consent. Account supervision is guided by the written profile and investment plan of
the client. We will accept accounts with certain restrictions, if circumstances warrant. We primarily allocate client
assets among various equities, bonds and other fixed income securities, along with exchange traded funds, cash,
unit investment trusts and no-load funds and/or load-waived funds (front-end commissions will not be charged)
in accordance with their stated investment objectives. All of which are considered asset allocation categories for
the client’s investment strategy.
Each portfolio will be initially designed to meet a particular investment goal which Fidelis Wealth Advisors has
determined to be appropriate to the client’s circumstances. Once the appropriate portfolio has been determined,
we will review the portfolio and rebalance the account based upon our client’s individual needs, stated goals and
objectives. Fidelis Wealth Advisors’ strategy, generally, will be to seek to meet client investment objectives while
providing clients with access to personal advisory services. Fidelis Wealth Advisors may also provide advice about
any type of legacy position or other investment held in client portfolios. It is the client’s obligation to notify us
immediately if circumstances have changed with respect to their goals.
Once we have determined the types of investments to be included in your portfolio and allocated them, we will
provide ongoing investment review and management services. This approach requires us to periodically review
your portfolio.
With our discretionary relationship, we will make changes to the portfolio, as we deem appropriate, to meet your
financial objectives. We trade these portfolios based on the combination of our market views and your objec-
tives, using our investment process. We tailor our advisory services to meet the needs of our clients and seek to
ensure that your portfolio is managed in a manner consistent with those needs and objectives. You will have the
ability to leave standing instructions with us to refrain from investing in particular industries or invest in limited
amounts of securities.
If a non-discretionary relationship is in place, calls will be placed presenting the recommendation made and only
upon your authorization will any action be taken on your behalf.
You may make requests or make suggestions regarding the investments made in your portfolio. Restrictions on
trading which, in our opinion, are not in your best interest cannot be honored and if forced may result in the
termination of our agreement.
In all cases, you have a direct and beneficial interest in your securities, rather than an undivided interest in a pool
of securities. We do have limited authority to direct the Custodian to deduct our investment advisory fees from
your accounts, but only with the appropriate written authorization from you.
Retirement Plans (ERISA), depending on the type of plan and how it is arranged, Fidelis Wealth Advisors may or
may not have discretionary control of retirement plans’ assets or their accounts and it is clearly set forth in the
plan agreement.
Where appropriate, we provide advice about any type of legacy position held in client portfolios. Typically, these
are assets that are ineligible to be custodied at our primary custodian. Clients will engage us to advise on certain
investment products that are not maintained at their primary custodian, such as variable life insurance, annuity
contracts, and assets held in employer sponsored retirement plans and qualified tuition plans (i.e., 529 plans).
You are advised and are expected to understand that our past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Certain market and economic risks exist that adversely affect an account’s performance. This could result in cap-
ital losses in your account.
HELD-AWAY ACCOUNTS
Our Firm is engaged with an unaffiliated third-party service provider, for Client accounts not directly
held with our recommended Custodian; but where our team has discretion and leverages 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, 529 plans, variable annuities, and other assets
not held with the recommended Custodian. We regularly review the current holdings and available
investment options in these accounts, monitor the account, rebalance, and implement our Firm’s
strategies, as necessary.
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 the Client account(s) is con-
nected to the platform, the Adviser will review the current account allocations and investment op-
tions. When we are authorized with discretionary management, we will rebalance the account, con-
sidering 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 losses
during complex markets, and manage internal fees that harm account performance. Client account(s)
will be reviewed quarterly, and allocation changes will be made, as necessary.
When clients engage our Firm in this capacity, they are responsible for keeping the platform link ac-
tive, so that our Firm will be able to access and manage the respective account without delay. If our
Firm determines that an Order Management System link has become inactive, our FIrm will use its
best efforts to notify the client to resolve the issue.
ZOE FINANCIAL, INC
Our Firm has entered into an arrangement with Zoe Financial, Inc. (“Zoe”), an unaffiliated third-party refer-
ral platform. The Zoe platform uses APEX Clearing Corp for custodial services. In addition, Zoe uses its own pro-
cess to introduce prospective clients to investment advisers, including our Firm. Zoe is not owned, controlled,
or supervised by our Firm, and Zoe does not provide investment advice or exercise discretion over client ac-
counts.
Participation in the Zoe platform allows prospective clients to be matched with our Firm and, if desired, establish
an advisory relationship under the same investment programs, strategies, and account minimums that our Firm
offers to all clients. Clients referred through Zoe are not obligated to engage our Firm, and prospective clients
remain free to select any investment adviser of their choosing.
FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES
Fidelis Wealth Advisors offers a broad range of financial planning and consulting services for our clients. Planning
services can be provided on a stand-alone basis, or in conjunction with our investment management services.
Financial Planning includes, in all or part, but is not limited to, the preparation of a financial plan for an investment
advisory client which may include reviews and recommendations on any or all of the following areas depending
on the Client’s circumstances:
•
Investment Planning
•
Investment Policy Statements
• Portfolio Review and Evaluation
• Budgeting and Cash Flow Planning
• Debt Management
• Capital Needs Analysis (Goal Funding)
• Risk Management/Insurance Analysis

Financial planning services can vary and is customized depending on each client’s complexity and circumstances.
The financial planning services will be defined and agreed upon by both parties in advance. For example, a
client’s not using Fidelis Wealth Advisors investment management services may request a comprehensive finan-
cial plan, or certain components of our planning services.
The amount of time it could take to provide each of the financial planning services will depend on the client’s
unique circumstances and will vary from client to client. Our services are customized based on what a client may
request. In addition, the amount of time it takes to provide these services is dependent on the quality and scope
of the information that is provided by the client to the advisor. A comprehensive financial plan based on the
process below generally takes between 20 to 30 hours.
1) ESTABLISH/DEFINE RELATIONSHIP WITH CLIENT – This includes meeting with clients to discuss Fidelis
Wealth Advisors’ service offerings. We will also spend time learning about the Client’s situation, goals, ob-

Wealth Advisors may use risk tolerance software (Riskalyze) to gauge client risk tolerance.

multiple aspects of a Client’s financial situation and, where applicable, confer with outside financial profes-

may foresee occurring in the future.
b. Portfolio review and evaluation – After completing a risk tolerance questionnaire with the Client, we
ensure investment accounts are properly diversified, in line with stated goals and objectives, and risk

will review stock options (where applicable). We may make recommendations to rebalance employer

Clients always have the right to decide whether to engage the firm for financial planning services. Clients are
encouraged to review their plans on a regular basis.
Fidelis Wealth Advisors has a conflict of interest because it offers both financial planning and investment man-
agement services. When providing financial planning services, Fidelis Wealth Advisors has an incentive to rec-
ommend itself for investment management services as Fidelis Wealth advisors receives additional compensation.
Fidelis mitigates this conflict of interest by disclosing this conflict to you and disclosing that client always have
the right to decide whether to engage Fidelis Wealth Advisors for Investment Management Services. Our fiduci-
ary obligation is to always act and recommend in the clients’ best interest.
RETIREMENT PLAN ADVISORY & CONSULTING SERVICES
The Retirement Plan Advisory Services we offer help employer plan sponsors to establish, monitor and review
their company’s retirement plan. As the needs of the plan sponsor dictate, areas of advising could include in-
vestment selection and monitoring plan structure and participant education.
Our Firm provides its advisory services as an investment advisor as defined under Section 3(21) and Section 3(38)
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). We offer investment manage-
ment of 401(k) accounts, profit sharing plans and defined contribution plans on a Plan level by managing the
investment line-up making changes as necessary. Our Firm will establish the plan’s needs and objectives through
an initial meeting to collect data, review plan information and assist in developing or updating the plan’s provi-
sion. Ongoing services may include recommendations regarding the selection and review of unaffiliated mutual
funds that, in the Firm’s judgment, are suitable for plan assets to be invested. We periodically review the invest-
ment options selected and make recommendations to keep or replace plans investment options as appropriate.
For employer-sponsored retirement plans, we provide advisory services as an investment advisor as defined un-
der Section 3(38) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).
When serving as an ERISA 3(38) investment manager, the plan sponsor is relieved of all fiduciary responsibility
for the investment decisions made by our Firm. We are the discretionary investment manager in accordance
with the terms of a separate ERISA 3(38) Investment Management Agreement between our Firm and the plan
sponsor. Our investment management is limited in that it has the discretion solely to replace funds in plan fund
lineups and initiate the transfer of existing balances to the replacements without prior approval from the client.
Additionally, our Firm offers Retirement Plan Consulting Services to our Plan Sponsors. Our Firm may assist the
Plan Sponsor by acting as a service provider liaison, providing participant enrollment meetings, and assisting with
participant education. While the primary clients for these services will be pension, profit sharing and 401(k)
plans, we offer these services, where appropriate, to individuals and trusts and organizations. Pension Consulting
Services are comprised of four distinct services. Clients may choose to use any or all of these services.
§
SELECTION OF INVESTMENT VEHICLES - We assist plan sponsors in constructing appropriate asset
allocation models. We will then review various mutual funds (both index and managed) to determine
which investments are appropriate. The number of investments to be recommended will be determined
by the client.
§ MONITORING OF INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE - We monitor client investments continually, based on
the procedures and timing intervals detailed in the Investment Policy Statement. Although our Firm is
not involved in any way in the purchase or sale of these investments, we supervise the client's portfolio
and will make recommendations to the client as market factors and the client's needs dictate.
§
PARTICIPANT ENROLLMENT - We will assist Plan Sponsor in enrolling Plan participants in the Plan,
including conducting an agreed upon number of enrollment meetings. As part of such meetings, we will
provide participants with information about the Plan, which may include information on the benefits of
Plan participation, the benefits of increasing Plan contributions, the impact of preretirement withdrawals
on retirement income, the terms of the Plan, and the operation of the Plan.
§
PLAN EDUCATION - We will assist participant education, which may include the preparation of education
materials and/or conducting investment education seminars and meetings for Plan Participants. Such
meetings may be on a group and/or individual basis. Such meetings shall not include specific investment
advice about investment options under the Plan as being appropriate for a particular participant but may
include the use of education investment models.
Plan participants have the ability to exercise control over the assets in their account, and we have no
authority or discretion to direct the investment of assets of any participant’s account under the Retire-
ment Plan Consulting services offered by our firm.
§
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING PENSION & RETIREMENT PLAN CONSULTING - All pension
consulting services shall be in compliance with applicable State rules and statutes and/or the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, rules and regulations thereunder regulating the services provided by this
Agreement. This section applies to an Account that is a pension or other employee benefit plan (a “Plan”)
governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). If the Account
is part of a Plan and we accept appointments to provide advisory services to such Account, Adviser
acknowledges that it is a fiduciary within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA (but only with respect to
the provision of services described in section 1 of this agreement). Client represents that (i) Adviser’s
appointment and services are consistent with the Plan documents, (ii) Client has furnished Adviser true
and complete copies of all documents establishing and governing the Plan and evidencing your authority
to retain Adviser. Client further represents that he/she/it will promptly furnish Adviser with any
amendments to the Plan, and Client agrees that, if any amendment affects our rights or obligations, such
amendment will be binding on Adviser only with our prior written consent. If the Account contains only
a part of the assets of the Plan, Client understand that Adviser will have no responsibilities for the
diversification of all the Plan’s investments, and Adviser will have no duty, responsibility or liability for
the assets that are not in the account. If ERISA or other applicable law requires bonding with respect to
the assets in the account, Client will obtain and maintain at his/her/its expense bonding that satisfies this
requirement and covers Adviser and any of our affiliates.
We are fiduciaries under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and when we provide investment advice to you
regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are also fiduciaries within the mean-
ing of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. 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.
ESTATE PLANNING SERVICES
Wealth.com provides a holistic estate planning solution that allows users to create, manage and administrate es-
tate plans through a technology platform. Wealth.com facilitates an optional hybrid model where clients can
start the process digitally, but still receive a bespoke human experience by consulting live with one of the
affiliated Trust and Estate attorney partners for a fee. Advisors purchase access to the Wealth.com platform
as an annual license and can then invite or refer an unlimited number of clients to the platform for estate plan-
ning.
Wealth.com allows Clients to create estate planning documents to action their legacy objectives. Once referred
to Wealth, my client enters the Wealth platform and is guided through the document creation process by Wealth,
not by the advisor. Though advisors can refer clients to the platform, Fidelis Wealth Advisors is not involved with
the drafting of the legal documents and do not have the ability to make selections for the client. As an advisor,
we can receive read-only visibility of the Client account to help ensure they complete the process of creating and
continue to monitor for optimization opportunities.
From a compliance standpoint, offering a Wealth.com account to a client is no different from any other estate
planning referral an advisor can make. Wealth.com prioritizes advisor compliance with industry best practices
regarding legal ethics and professional rules of conduct. Wealth.com works with attorneys who are nationally
recognized experts in advising technology firms seeking to structure ethically compliant relationships with con-
sumers of legal services and governmental regulators.
CONSULTING SERVICES
Fidelis Wealth Advisors provides a wide array of customized consulting services which may vary greatly in depth
and scope and may be offered in a variety of different situations or circumstances that relate to your financial
picture. We may consult with you regarding topics that are not covered under our general financial planning
services or may not rise to the level of financial planning in the extent of data-gathering and breadth and depth
of recommendations. We may consult on such items as a real estate purchase, a sale analysis, or a review of a
financial account. Financial accounts may be accounts that are held at other firms or qualified retirement ac-
counts held through the Client’s employer. The scope and cost of our consulting services are defined in writing
prior to the engagement and will depend on the complexity of the situation. Consulting services will be offered
to any client who the advisor deems to have circumstances that could be aided by our consulting services. Some
factors in this determination may be the advisor’s experience and level of expertise with the situation. Clients
always have the right to decide whether to engage the firm for consulting services.
THIRD-PARTY MONEY MANAGERS
If deemed appropriate, our Firm will utilize the services of an Independent Third-Party Manager (“ITPM” or “Man-
ager”) to manage your accounts. Investment recommendations and securities trading will only be offered by or
through the chosen ITPM. Our Firm will not advise on any specific securities concerning this service.
Before referring you, our Firm will provide initial due diligence on ITPMs and ongoing reviews of their manage-
ment of your accounts. To assist in selecting an ITPM, our Firm will gather information about the Client’s financial
situation, investment objectives, and reasonable restrictions to be imposed upon the account management.
Our Firm will periodically review the Manager reports provided to the Client. We will periodically contact the
Client to review their financial situation and objectives, communicate information to the Manager as warranted,
and assist you in understanding and evaluating the services provided. The Client will be expected to notify our
Firm of any changes in their financial situation, investment objectives, or account restrictions that could affect
their financial standing.
By executing an Investment Advisory Agreement with our Firm, the Client gives our Firm the discretionary au-
thority to hire or fire the Manager and to allocate assets among Managers without obtaining consent.
The services provided by the ITPM include:
• Assessment of your investment needs and objectives
•
Implementation of an asset allocation
• Delivery of suitable style allocations (e.g., Income, Large Cap, Small Cap, Growth, Value, etc.)
• Facilitation of portfolio transactions
• Ongoing monitoring of investment vehicles’ performance
• Review of accounts for adherence to policy guidelines and asset allocation
• Reporting of your portfolio activity.
Each Manager has minimum account requirements that will vary between Managers. Account minimums are
typically higher for fixed-income accounts than for equity-based accounts. A complete description of the Man-
ager’s services, fee schedules, and account minimums will be disclosed in the Manager’s disclosure brochure,
which will be provided to you before or when an agreement for services is executed, and the account is estab-
lished.
WRAP FEE PROGRAM
We do not participate in a Wrap Fee Program.
ASSETS
Fidelis Wealth Advisors, as of December 31, 2025, managed a total of $210,405,970 in assets under management.
$165,909,043 of this was managed on a discretionary basis and $44,496,927 of which was managed on a non-
discretionary basis.
ITEM 5 - FEES AND COMPENSATION
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES AND COMPENSATION
Our Firm charges a fee as compensation for providing Investment Management services on your account. These
services include advisory services, trade entry, investment supervision, and other account maintenance activities.
Our custodian charges transaction costs, custodial fees, redemption fees, retirement plan and administrative
fees or commissions.
Fidelis Wealth Advisors’ investment management fees are generally calculated and payable quarterly in advance
based on the value as of the last business day of the prior quarter, with payment due within 10 days from the
date of the invoice. Some contracts charge in arrears, that is, at the end of the billing cycle as of the last day of
the quarter. Our fee is determined by taking the percentage rate we charge, divided by four, times the market
value of the account. The market value is the sum of the values of all assets in the account. Unless otherwise
agreed upon and stated in the Investment Management Agreement, fees are assessed on all assets under man-
agement. This includes securities, cash, margin and money market balances. Securities and margin balances are
included as part of assets under management for purposes of calculating the firm’s advisory fee. In cases where
there are partial periods at the commencement or termination of our agreement, fees will be billed or refunded
on a pro-rated basis based on the number of days services were provided in the quarter. Quarterly fee adjust-
ments for additional assets received into the account during a quarter or for partial withdrawals will also be
provided on the above pro rata basis.
If there is insufficient cash in your account to pay your fees, securities in your portfolio may be sold to pay our
fee. In addition to our fees, there may be a custodial, mutual fund, 12b-1 fee, or similar third-party management
fees and charges.
Our maximum investment advisory fee is 1.50%, or we may negotiate a lower advisory fee. The specific advisory
fees are set forth in your Investment Advisory Agreement. A minimum fee of $1,200 a year or $300 a quarter will
be assessed on accounts. The minimum fee may reflect a fee of greater than 1.50%. Fees may vary based on the
size of the account, complexity of the portfolio, extent of activity in the account, or other reasons agreed upon
by us and you as the client. In certain circumstances, our fees and the timing of the fee payments may be nego-
tiated. Our employees and their family-related accounts are charged a reduced fee for our services.
We do not charge additional fees to work with your attorney and/or accountant. Our fee includes the time and
activities necessary to work with your attorney and/or accountant in reaching agreement on solutions, as well as
assisting them in implementation of all appropriate documents. We are not responsible for attorney or account-
ing fees charged to you as a result of the above activities.
If the Client has outside accounts, variable annuities or REITS that will be reported through Tamarac for perfor-
mance purposes, a quarterly fee for assets held with an outside custodian of $25 will be charged on each account.
Fee charged quarterly in Advance.
Unless otherwise instructed by the Client, we will aggregate related client accounts for the purposes of deter-
mining the account size and annualized fee. The common practice is often referred to as “house-holding” port-
folios for fee purposes and may result in lower fees than if fees were calculated on portfolios separately. Our
method of house-holding accounts for fee purposes looks at the overall family dynamic and relationship. When
applicable and noted in Appendix A of the Investment Management Agreement, legacy positions will also be
excluded from the fee calculation.
The independent and qualified custodian holding your funds and securities will debit your account directly for
the advisory fee and pay that fee to us. You will provide written authorization permitting the fees to be paid
directly from your account held by the qualified custodian. Further, the qualified custodian agrees to deliver an
account statement to you on a quarterly basis indicating all the amounts deducted from the account including
our advisory fees.
Either Fidelis or you may terminate the management agreement immediately upon written notice to the other
party. The management fee will be pro-rated to the date of termination for the quarter in which the cancellation
notice was given, and the unearned fee will be refunded to your account. Full refunds will only be made in cases
where cancellation occurs within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s investment advisory agreement.
After five (5) business days, clients will receive pro-rata refunds, which take into account work completed by the
Advisor on behalf of the client.
Upon termination, you are responsible for monitoring the securities in your account, and we will have no further
obligation to act or advise with respect to those assets. In the event of client’s death or disability, Fidelis will
continue management of the account until we are notified of client’s death or disability and given alternative
instructions by an authorized party.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PROVIDED BY TAMARAC, INC.
For some of our clients our Firm has contracted with Tamarac, Inc. (referred to as “Tamarac”) to
utilize its technology platforms to support data reconciliation, performance reporting, fee calculation
and billing, research, client database maintenance, performance evaluations, payable reports, web
site administration, models, trading platforms, and other functions related to the administrative
tasks of managing client accounts. Due to this arrangement, Tamarac will have access to client ac-
counts, but Tamarac will not serve as an investment advisor to our clients. Our Firm and Tamarac are
non-affiliated companies. Tamarac charges our Firm an annual fee for each account administered by
Tamarac. Please note that the client will pay a $7 quarterly pass-through fee to utilize their services.
Clients who benefit from Tamarac’s services will pay this fee in addition to their advisory fee collected
by Fidelis.
HELD-AWAY ACCOUNTS
Our Firm uses the platform to provide portfolio management and monitoring services for certain
client accounts that are held outside of our direct management (“held-away assets”), such as em-
ployer-sponsored retirement plans. The platform facilitates data aggregation, secure account ac-
cess, trading, rebalancing, and reporting for these accounts.
We pay the platform fee for using its services. Our firm incurs this cost and does not charge clients
separately for it. Clients who elect to have us manage their held-away assets through Pontera will
pay our advisory fees under our standard fee schedule, but will not incur any additional fees di-
rectly as a result of using the platform.
ZOE FINANCIAL, INC
Our firm participates in the Zoe Financial, Inc. (“Zoe”) platform, which has the dual benefit of provid-
ing technology and custodial services through APEX Clearing Corp and Zoe also introduces prospec-
tive clients to investment advisers. If you choose to hold your investment account on the Zoe Plat-
form, and become a client through Zoe, Zoe will deduct a platform fee of 0.15% (15 basis points) of
your assets under management directly from your account on an ongoing basis. This fee is in addition
to the advisory fee you pay to our firm under our standard fee schedule.
In addition, if your advisor selects a third-party manager or direct index provider, their fee will be
passed on to you (no more than 0.012% or 12 basis points) and is in addition to our firm’s standard
fee. Because you pay Zoe’s fee directly, clients referred through Zoe and hold their account(s) on the
Zoe Platform will pay more than clients who engage our services outside of the Zoe platform. This
arrangement creates a conflict of interest because we benefit from Zoe’s introductions, and you will
bear higher total costs as a result. Zoe is not affiliated with our firm. Additional details regarding
Zoe’s referral program are available upon request. Zoe is not affiliated with our firm. Additional de-
tails regarding Zoe’s referral program are available upon request.
FINANCIAL PLANNING FEES
Fees for financial planning services are generally charged $2,500 - $3,000 for a comprehensive financial plan.
Where a client has unique circumstances with additional scope and complexity, which may include items such as
trusts or outside business entities, additional fees will be charged (with a maximum fee of $25,000). These ar-
rangements will be defined and agreed upon by both parties via the financial planning agreement. The fees are
negotiable. For clients who also engage Fidelis Wealth Advisors for investment management services, we may
waive or offset all or a portion of its fees for the financial planning and/or consulting services.
Fidelis Wealth Advisors does not require a retainer for this service. Financial planning services are billed one-half
(1/2) up front and the remainder due within thirty (30) days of the initial financial plan being delivered. Annual
updates of the financial plan will be billed quarterly in arrears. Financial Planning fees may be paid by personal
check or the client may elect by written authorization to have their fee automatically debited from investment
management non-qualified accounts approved for such fee debit payments. In all instances, Fidelis Wealth Ad-
visors will send the client a written invoice including the fee, the formula used to calculate the fee(s), and the
time period covered by the fee(s), and if applicable, the amount of assets on which the fee was based.
We will not require prepayment of more than $1200 in fees per client, six (6) or more months in advance of
providing any services.
RETIREMENT PLAN AND CONSULTING FEES
Fees for portfolio monitoring, retirement plan ERISA planning and consulting services depend on the types of
services that serve the client. We typically use the following standard fee schedule. Fees are negotiable depend-
ing on the size of the plan and services rendered. Fees are paid quarterly in advance or arrears as designated in
our agreement with you. Fees billed in advance are based on the value of the assets in the account as of the last
business day of the prior quarter. Fees billed in arrears are based on the value of assets in the account as of the
end of the billing cycle on the last business day of the quarter. For Plans where our fee is billed to the custodian,
the fee is deducted directly from the participant accounts. Written authorization permitting us to be paid directly
from the custodial account is outlined in the Agreement. Our maximum investment advisory fee is 0.50%, or we
may negotiate a lower advisory fee. The specific advisory fees are set forth in your Investment Advisory Agree-
ment.
§
SERVICE PROVIDER LIAISON - We will assist the Plan Sponsor by acting as a liaison between the Plan
Sponsor and service providers, product sponsors and/or vendors. In such cases, we shall act only to assist
communications between the Plan Sponsor and service providers of the Plan.
§
PARTICIPANT ENROLLMENT - We will assist Plan Sponsor in enrolling Plan participants in the Plan,
including conducting an agreed upon number of enrollment meetings. As part of such meetings, we will

on retirement income, the terms of the Plan and the operation of the Plan.
§
PLAN EDUCATION - We will assist participant education, which may include preparation of education
materials and/or conducting investment education seminars and meeting for Plan Participants. Such
meetings may be on a group and/or individual basis. Such meeting shall not include specific investment

may include use of education investment models.
Plan participants have the ability to exercise control over the assets in their account, and we have no authority
or discretion to direct the investment of assets of any participant’s account under the Retirement Plan Consulting
services offered by our firm.
Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. If a conflict exists between the interests
of the Advisor or its associated persons and the interest of the client, the client always have the right to decide
not to act upon Fidelis Wealth Advisors recommendations.
ESTATE PLANNING FEES
Advisors purchase access to the Wealth.com platform as an annual license and can then invite clients to the
platform for estate planning. Fidelis may charge a fee not to exceed $1,000 for access to Wealth.com.
CONSULTING SERVICE FEES
Fees for consulting services are based on an hourly rate of between $150 and $300 per hour. All fees will be
disclosed to each client in writing prior to the engagement, and clients always have the right to decide whether
to engage Fidelis Wealth Advisors for Consulting Services. The services may be billed at the time work is per-
formed, although contracts may specify the total number of hours expected in total. Fees are due within ten (10)
days of invoice. Consulting fees are negotiable. Consulting fees may be paid by personal check or the client may
elect by written authorization to have their fee automatically debited from investment management non-quali-
fied accounts approved for such fee debit payments. In all instances, Fidelis Wealth Advisors will send the client
a written invoice including the fee, the formula used to calculate the fee(s) and the time period covered by the
fee(s), and if applicable, the amount of assets on which the fee was based. Clients may terminate these contracts
at any time. When an agreement is terminated, we will refund any pre-paid, unearned fees based on the number
of days remaining in the quarter after termination. Refunds will be made within 30 business days.
Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. If a conflict exists between the interests
of the Advisor or its associated persons and the interest of the client, the client always have the right to decide
not to act upon Fidelis Wealth Advisors recommendations.
THIRD-PARTY MONEY MANAGER (“TPMM”) FEES
A complete description of the ITPM’s services, fee schedules, and account minimums will be disclosed in Man-
ager's disclosure brochure, which will be provided to you before or when an agreement for services is executed,
and the account is established. Each third-party investment adviser is required under federal securities laws to
provide their clients, including ITPM Clients, with a Form ADV Part 2A (“Adviser Brochure” or “this Brochure”)
that includes disclosures, and among other things, the fees charged to their clients.
The actual fee charged to the Client will vary depending on ITPM. All fees are calculated and collected by the
Manager, who will be responsible for delivering our Firm’s portion of the fee paid by the Client. With ITPMs, you
may incur additional charges, including mutual fund sales loads, 12b-1 fees and surrender charges, and IRA and
qualified retirement plan fees.
There is a potential conflict of interest in using independent Managers if they pay us a portion of their advisory
fee and have met the conditions of our Firm’s due diligence review. Our Firm is committed to always working in
the Client's best interest. There may be other Managers not affiliated with our Firm that may be suitable for a
Client or may be more or less costly. As with any Advisor, no guarantees can be made that the ITPM will achieve
your financial goals or objectives. Further, no guarantees of performance can be offered.
Clients should review the ITPM’s Brochure in its entirety, along with this Brochure, to fully understand the ser-
vices, fees, agreements, and risks surrounding these arrangements and fully understand that these types of ar-
rangements have layers of fees that may or may not be apparent without reading the ITPM’s Brochure and this
Brochure, along with the offering document/prospectus for underlining investments.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PROVIDED BY TAMARAC REPORTING
We have contracted with Tamarac Reporting (“Tamarac”) to utilize its technology platforms to sup-
port data reconciliation, performance reporting, fee calculation, client relationship maintenance,
quarterly performance evaluations, and other functions related to the administrative tasks of man-
aging client accounts. Due to this arrangement, Tamarac will have access to client accounts, but Tam-
arac will not serve as an investment advisor to our clients or bill the accounts. Fidelis and Tamarac
are non-affiliated companies. Tamarac charges our Firm an annual fee for each account administered
by its software. Please note that the client will pay a $7 quarterly pass-through fee to utilize their
services. Clients who benefit from Tamarac’s services will pay this fee in addition to their advisory
fee collected by Fidelis.
ADDITIONAL FEES AND EXPENSES
In addition to the advisory fees paid to our Firm, clients may also incur certain charges imposed by other third
parties, such as Tamarac, broker-dealers, custodians, trust companies, banks, and other financial institutions
(collectively “Financial Institutions”). These additional charges may include securities, transaction fees, custodial
fees, fees charged by the Independent Managers, charges imposed directly by a mutual fund or ETF in a client’s
account, as disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (e.g., fund management fees and other fund expenses), deferred
sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and
taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Fidelis’ brokerage practices are described at length in
Item 12, below. Neither our Firm nor its supervised persons accept compensation for the sale of securities or
other investment products. Further, our Firm does not share in any of these additional fees and expenses out-
lined above.
ITEM 6 - PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
We do not charge advisory fees on a share of the capital appreciation of the funds or securities in a client account
(so-called performance-based fees), nor engage side by side management.

Minimum Account Size:
Fidelis Wealth Advisors has a $250,000 account minimum however, this minimum can be waived at the sole discre-
tion of the Firm.
ITEM 8 - METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS
METHODS OF ANALYSIS AND INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
In determining the recommendations to give to you, we first gather and consider information regarding several
factors including our client’s:
§
Current financial situation;
§
Investment goals and objectives;
§
Current and long-term needs;
§
Tolerance and appetite for risk; and
§
Level of investment knowledge.
Fidelis Wealth Advisors uses multiple sources of information to obtain analysis and strategies. They include
sources such as financial newspapers, financial magazines, research prepared by others, corporate rating ser-
vices, prospectuses, company press releases, annual reports and filings with the SEC.
Fidelis Wealth Advisors’ methods of analysis include Modern portfolio theory, Fundamental analysis, Quantita-
tive analysis, Trend, Charting and Technical analysis and Cyclical analysis.
§ MODERN PORTFOLIO THEORY - is a theory of investment that attempts to maximize portfolio expected
return for a given amount of portfolio risk, or equivalently minimize risk for a given level of expected
return, each by carefully choosing the proportions of various asset.
§
FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS - involves the analysis of valuations, financial statements, the general
economic and financial health of companies and/or sectors of the market, and/or the analysis of
management or competitive advantages.
§ QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS - deals with measurable factors as distinguished from qualitative
considerations such as the character of management or the state of employee morale, such as the value
of assets, the cost of capital, historical projections of sales, and so on.
§
TREND, CHARTING AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS - involves the use of patterns in performance charts. Fidelis
Wealth Advisors uses this technique to search for trends used to help predict favorable conditions for
buying and/or selling a security. Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data; primarily
price and volume.
§
CYCLICAL ANALYSIS - involves the analysis of business cycles to find favorable conditions for buying
and/or selling a security.
Fidelis Wealth Advisors investment strategy is primarily focused on asset allocation. We recommend a mix of
asset classes for your portfolio based on an assessment of your financial objectives, risk aversion, life events,
time horizon and tax situation. An asset allocation recommendation may include where appropriate, bonds var-
ying in maturities and credit quality (within a broadly diversified index, exchange traded fund and/or asset class
mutual fund) to enhance income or to reduce overall portfolio risk. If your objective is a higher annual expected
return and you are willing to accept a higher degree of risk, we will recommend a portfolio with greater alloca-
tions to stocks, which may include small company stocks and international (using index or asset class mutual
funds). Recommended stock allocations will generally be globally diversified among the U.S. and foreign devel-
oped markets. This asset allocation is altered when your long-term investment objectives have changed or due
to tactical adjustments, we determine based on perceived risks or opportunities through our investment research
and analysis. Some client accounts may include option strategies depending on their goals and appropriateness.
RISK OF LOSS
All investments include a risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Performance of any investment
is not guaranteed. We use our best efforts and expertise to manage your assets. However, we cannot guarantee
any level of performance or that you will not experience financial loss.
§
TREND, CHARTING AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS - Charting analysis involves using and comparing
various charts to predict long and short-term performance or market trends. The risk involved in using
this method is that only past performance data is considered without using other methods to crosscheck
data. Using charting analysis without other methods of analysis would be making the assumption that
past performance will be indicative of future performance. This may not be the case. Technical analysis
attempts to predict future prices or direction based on market trends. The assumption is that the market
follows discernible patterns, and if these patterns can be identified, then a prediction can be made. The
risk is that markets do not always follow patterns and relying solely on this method may not take into
account new patterns that emerge over time.
§
CYCLICAL ANALYSIS - assumes that the markets react in cyclical patterns which, once identified, can
be leveraged to provide performance. The risks with this strategy are two-fold: 1) the markets do not
always repeat cyclical patterns, and 2) if too many investors begin to implement this strategy, then it
changes the very cycles these investors are trying to exploit.
§
FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS - concentrates on factors that determine a company’s value (or industry or
sector of the economy) and expected future earnings. This strategy would normally encourage purchases
in assets that are undervalued or priced below their perceived value. The risk assumed is that the market
will fail to reach expectations of perceived value.
§ MODERN PORTFOLIO THEORY - assumes that investors are risk averse, meaning that given two
portfolios that offer the same expected return, investors will prefer the less risky one. Thus, an investor
will take on increased risk only if compensated by higher expected returns. Conversely, an investor who
wants higher expected returns must accept more risk. The exact trade-off will be the same for all
investors, but different investors will evaluate the trade-off differently based on individual risk aversion
characteristics. The implication is that a rational investor will not invest in a portfolio if a second portfolio
exists with a more favorable risk-expected return profile – i.e. if, for that level of risk, an alternative
portfolio exists that has better-expected returns.
§ QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS - Investment strategies using quantitative models may perform differently
than expected as a result of, among other things, the factors used in the models, the weight placed on each
factor, changes from the factors’ historical trends, and technical issues in the construction and
implementation of the models.
§
INVESTMENT RISK - Clients should be aware that there is a material risk of loss using any investment
strategy. The investment types listed below (leaving aside Treasury Inflation Protected/Inflation Linked
Bonds) are not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any other government agency.
§ MUTUAL FUNDS - Investing in mutual funds carries the risk of capital loss and thus you may lose money
investing in mutual funds. All mutual funds have costs that lower investment returns. The funds can be
of bond “fixed income” nature (lower risk) or stock “equity” nature.
§
EXCHANGE TRADED FUNDS (ETFS) - An ETF is an investment fund traded on stock exchanges, similar
to stocks. Investing in ETFs carries the risk of capital loss (sometimes up to a 100% loss in the case of a
stock holding bankruptcy). Areas of concern include the lack of transparency in products and increasing
complexity, conflicts of interest and the possibility of inadequate regulatory compliance. Precious Metal
ETFs (e.g., Gold, Silver, or Palladium Bullion backed “electronic shares” not physical metal) specifically
may be negatively impacted by several unique factors, among them (1) large sales by the official sector
which own a significant portion of aggregate world holdings in gold and other precious metals, (2) a
significant increase in hedging activities by producers of gold or other precious metals, (3) a significant
change in the attitude of speculators and investors.
§
EQUITY - investments generally refers to buying shares of stocks in return for receiving a future payment
of dividends and/or capital gains if the value of the stock increases. The value of equity securities may
fluctuate in response to specific situations for each company, industry conditions and the general
economic environments.
§ OPTIONS & HEDGING STRATEGIES - Stock options are derivatives of an underlying company’s stock.
Options can be used to enhance or protect investment performance. Options trading involves substantial
risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The price and valuation of options may fluctuate
substantially, and quickly, compared to the price movement of the underlying security. As a result, clients
may lose more than their original investment. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
§
FIXED INCOME - investments generally pay a return on a fixed schedule, though the amount of the
payments can vary. This type of investment can include corporate and government debt securities,
leveraged loans, high yield, and investment grade debt and structured products, such as mortgage and
other asset-backed securities, although individual bonds may be the best known type of fixed income
security. In general, the fixed income market is volatile and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk.
(As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for
longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk, liquidity risk, call risk, and
credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. The risk of default on treasury inflation
protected/inflation linked bonds is dependent upon the U.S. Treasury defaulting.
§ ANNUITIES - are a retirement product for those who may have the ability to pay a premium now and
want to guarantee they receive certain monthly payments or a return on investment later in the future.
Annuities are contracts issued by a life insurance company designed to meet requirement or other long-
term goals. An annuity is not a life insurance policy. Variable annuities are designed to be long-term
investments, to meet retirement and other long-range goals.
§
VARIABLE ANNUITIES - are not suitable for meeting short-term goals because substantial taxes and
insurance company charges may apply if you withdraw your money early. Variable annuities also involve
investment risks, just as mutual funds do.
§ USE OF SUB-ADVISORS - Fidelis Wealth Advisors may select certain sub-advisors to manage a portion
of its clients’ assets. In these situations, Fidelis Wealth Advisors continues to conduct ongoing due
diligence of such sub-advisors, but such recommendations generally rely on the sub-advisor’s ability to
successfully implement their investment strategies. In addition, Fidelis Wealth Advisors generally may
not have the ability to supervise the sub-advisors on a day-to-day basis.
Clients must understand that past performance is not indicative of future results. Therefore, current and pro-
spective clients should never assume that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy
will be profitable. Investing in securities involves risk of loss.
Due to its nature, the asset allocation investment strategies can also expose clients to various types of risk that
will typically surface at various intervals during the time the client owns the investments. These risks include but
are not limited to inflation (purchasing power) risk, interest rate risk, economic risk, market risk, and political/reg-
ulatory risk. Additional risks include liquidity, economic stability, and inflation. Frequent trading can affect invest-
ment performance, particularly through increased brokerage and other transaction costs and taxes.
Investors should be aware that accounts are subject to the following risks:
§ MARKET RISK - Even a long-term investment approach cannot guarantee a profit. Economic, political,
and issuer-specific events will cause the value of securities to rise or fall. Because the value of investment
portfolios will fluctuate, there is the risk that you will lose money and your investment may be worth
more or less upon liquidation.
§
FOREIGN SECURITIES AND CURRENCY RISK - Investments in international and emerging-market
securities include exposure to risks such as currency fluctuations, foreign taxes and regulations, and the
potential for illiquid markets and political instability.
§
CAPITALIZATION RISK - Small-cap and mid-cap companies may be hindered as a result of limited
resources or less diverse products or services Their stocks have historically been more volatile than the
stocks of larger, more established companies.
§
INTEREST RATE RISK - In a rising rate environment, the value of fixed-income securities generally declines,
and the value of equity securities may be adversely affected.
§
CREDIT RISK - Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security may be unable to make interest payments
and/or repay principal when due. A downgrade to an issuer’s credit rating or a perceived change in an
issuer’s financial strength may affect a security’s value and thus, impact the fund’s performance.
§
SECURITIES LENDING RISK - Securities lending involves the risk that the fund loses money because the
borrower fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The fund could also lose money if the
value of the collateral provided for loaned securities, or the value of the investments made with the cash
collateral, falls. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the fund.
§
losses from trading
in the secondary markets, and disruption
EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS - ETFs face market-trading risks, including the potential lack of an active
market for shares,
in the
creation/redemption process of the ETF. Any of these factors may lead to the fund’s shares trading at
either a premium or a discount to its “net asset value.”
§
PERFORMANCE OF UNDERLYING MANAGERS - We select the mutual funds and ETFs in the asset
allocation portfolios. However, we depend on the manager of such funds to select individual investments
in accordance with their stated investment strategy.
§
CYBERSECURITY RISK - Cybersecurity risks include both intentional and unintentional events at Fidelis
Wealth Advisors or one of its third-party counterparties or service providers, that may result in a loss or
corruption of data, result in the unauthorized release or other misuse of confidential information, and
generally compromise our Firm’s ability to conduct its business. A cybersecurity breach may also result
in a third-party obtaining unauthorized access to our clients’ information, including social security
numbers, home addresses, account numbers, account balances, and account holdings. Our Firm has
established business continuity plans and risk management systems designed to reduce the risks
associated with cybersecurity breaches. However, there are inherent limitations in these plans and
systems, including that certain risks may not have been identified, in large part because different or
unknown threats may emerge in the future. As such, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed,
especially because our Firm does not directly control the cybersecurity systems of our third-party service
providers. There is also a risk that cybersecurity breaches may not be detected.
§
SPOT BITCOIN VIRTUAL CURRENCY-BASED RISK (“SPBC”) - Our Firm may invest Client accounts in SPBC
products. The investment characteristics of SPBC assets generally differ from those of traditional
currencies, commodities, or securities. Importantly, SPBC assets are not backed by a central bank, a
national, supranational, quasi-national organization, hard assets, human capital, or other forms of credit.
Rather, SPBCs are market-based: the value is determined by, and often dramatically fluctuates, according
to supply and demand factors, the number of merchants that accept it, or the value that various market
participants place on it through their mutual agreement, barter, or transactions.
The value of the Client's portfolios relates in part to the value of the SPBC assets held in the Client's portfolio;
fluctuations in price could adversely affect the value of the Client’s portfolio. The price of SPBC assets achieved
by a Client may be affected generally by a wide variety of complex and difficult-to-predict factors such as supply
and demand and the risks associated due to bitcoin being primarily a speculative and highly volatile asset that’s
also used for illicit activity including ransomware, money laundering, sanction evasion, and terrorist financing.
ITEM 9 - DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
Neither Fidelis Wealth Advisors or any of its associated personnel have ever been the subject of a reportable
disciplinary or legal event.
ITEM 10 - OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS
Fidelis Wealth Advisors is not registered as a broker-dealer. Certain associated persons of Fidelis Wealth Advisors
are registered representatives of Colorado Financial Services Corporation (“CFSC”) a FINRA broker-dealer firms.
Employees who are registered representatives are paid fees/commissions based on sales of securities. When
acting in the capacity of a registered representative, the Advisor and/or associated persons may place clients in
investment products sold through this broker/dealer and may receive the usual and customary commissions or
fees on the products that the client purchases. Fidelis Wealth Advisors is not affiliated with CFSC.
The ability to receive commissions on products is a conflict of interest. Because of the potential for Fidelis Wealth
Advisors associates who are registered as representatives of a broker-dealer to generate a commission from, or
in addition to fees charged for advisory services, Fidelis Wealth Advisor associates have an incentive to recom-
mend brokerage services based on the compensation they receive rather than based on your best interest. Fidelis
Wealth Advisors mitigates this conflict by this disclosure to you and by monitoring the appropriateness of the
recommendations registered representatives make. You have the right to decide whether to execute transac-
tions through any registered representative of a broker-dealer who is also an associated person of Fidelis Wealth
Advisors. As a fiduciary, Fidelis Wealth Advisors will only make a recommendation to use a broker-dealer when
it is in the client’s best interest.
Neither Fidelis Wealth Advisors nor our employees are registered as a Futures Commission Merchant, Commod-
ity Pool Operator, or Commodity Trading Advisor.
The principal business of Fidelis Wealth Advisors is that of a registered investment advisor and provider of finan-
cial planning services. Some of our associates may be insurance agents. Associates who are insurance agents may
also be paid based on the services they provide. Fidelis Wealth Advisor associates have a conflict of interest
when providing insurance services. Fidelis Wealth Advisors associates who are insurance agents have an incen-
tive to recommend insurance based on the compensation they receive rather than based on your best interest.
Fidelis Wealth Advisors mitigates this conflict by this disclosure to you. You have the right to decide whether to
purchase insurance and use insurance agents who are also associates of Fidelis Wealth Advisors or whether to
use an outside agency. As a fiduciary, Fidelis Wealth Advisors will only make a recommendation to purchase
insurance when it is in the client’s best interest.
Fidelis Wealth Advisors will disclose any material conflict of interest relating to Fidelis Wealth Advisors, our rep-
resentatives, or any of our associates that could reasonably be expected to impair the rendering of unbiased and
objective advice.
Fidelis Wealth Advisors is not paid for the selection of other advisors, asset managers or portfolio managers.
Fidelis Wealth Advisors may enter directly into sub-advisory relationships with independent registered invest-
ment advisory firms (“sub-advisors”) on behalf of its clients as part of our discretionary services. We do not
receive any additional compensation for selecting a sub-advisor. Prior to entering into a relationship, Fidelis
Wealth Advisors performs a due diligence review of the sub-advisor. This review includes, but is not limited to,
the review of regulatory filings, investment offerings, and the performance of the strategies considered.
When a strategy offered through a subadvisor is appropriate for a client of Fidelis Wealth Advisors, the client will
be given the subadvisor’s Form ADV Part 2A, Privacy Notice, and any other information that may be relevant or
informative to the client. The client will not engage the subadvisor directly; the client’s advisory relationship
remains with Fidelis Wealth Advisors as set forth in the client’s Investment Advisory Agreement. Sub-advisors
may be paid a portion of the fee that you pay to us to us. When using sub-advisors through Envestnet, sub-
advisory fees are separate and distinct from the investment management fees we charge. Separate fees will
either be deducted from your account or billed directly to you. Your fee will not be increased without your
written authorization.
ITEM 11 - CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS AND
PERSONAL TRADING
Our Firm and persons associated with us are allowed to invest for their own accounts or to have a financial
investment in the same securities or other investments that we recommend or acquire for your account and may
engage in transactions that are the same as or different than transactions recommended to or made for your
account. This creates a conflict of interest. We recognize the fiduciary responsibility to act in your best interest
and have established policies to mitigate conflicts of interest.
We have developed and implemented a Code of Ethics that sets forth standards of conduct expected of our
advisory personnel to mitigate this conflict of interest. The Code of Ethics addresses, among other things, per-
sonal trading, gifts, and the prohibition against the use of inside information.
The Code of Ethics is designed to protect our clients to detect and deter misconduct, educate personnel regarding
the firm’s expectations and laws governing their conduct, remind personnel that they are in a position of trust
and must act with complete propriety at all times, protect the reputation of Fidelis, safeguard against the viola-
tion of the securities laws, and establish procedures for personnel to follow so that we may determine whether
their personnel are complying with the firm’s ethical principles.
We have established the following restrictions in order to ensure our Firm’s fiduciary responsibilities:
§
A director, officer, or employee of Fidelis shall not buy or sell any securities for their personal portfolio(s)
where their decision is substantially derived, in whole or in part, by reason of his or her employment
unless the information is also available to the investing public on reasonable inquiry No supervised
employee of Fidelis shall prefer his or her own interest to that of the advisory client. Trades for supervised
employees are traded alongside client accounts
§ We maintain a list of all securities holdings of anyone associated with this advisory practice with access
to advisory recommendations. These holdings are reviewed on a regular basis by an appropriate
officer/individual of Fidelis
§ We emphasize the unrestricted right of the client to decline implementation of any advice rendered,
except in situations where we are granted discretionary authority of the client’s account
§ We require that all supervised employees must act in accordance with all applicable Federal and State
regulations governing registered investment advisory practices
§
Any supervised employee not in observance of the above may be subject to termination
INVESTMENT POLICY
None of our associated persons may affect for himself/herself or for accounts in which he/she holds a beneficial
interest any transactions in a security that is being actively recommended to any of our clients unless in accord-
ance with the Firm’s procedures.
You may request a complete copy of our Code by contacting us at the address, telephone, or email on the cover
page of this Part 2; ATTN: Sam Tenney, Chief Compliance Officer.
ITEM 12 - BROKERAGE PRACTICES
BROKERAGE PRACTICES
Fidelis Wealth Advisors will recommend Custodians. We recommend that our clients use Charles Schwab &
Co., Inc. Advisor Services (“Schwab”), a registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, as the qualified custodian
or Fidelity Advisor Services™ (formerly called Fidelity Institutional®) (“Fidelity”). We are independently
owned and operated, and unaffiliated with Fidelity or Schwab. Our custodians will hold client assets in a
brokerage account and buy and sell securities when we instruct them to. We have selected our Custodians
based on price, reliability, speed of processing, tools and “best execution” in addition to other considerations.
And while you are not required to effect transactions through any broker-dealer recommended by us, we feel we
have made our selections based on a totality of benefits they offer and can only offer our services based on our
recommendations.
The Custodians send statements and confirms. We strongly urge you to compare our invoices and reports to the
custodian statements for accuracy.
Fidelis Wealth Advisors may purchase software, tools, training programs or seminar services from our broker-
dealer. Fidelis Wealth Advisors also receives soft dollar benefits from the Custodians. The Custodians may pro-
vide services, tools, or other non-financial benefits to us as a benefit for using the custodian’s services. However,
we endeavor at all times to put the interests of our clients first. You should be aware, however, that the
receipt of the types of benefits discussed above can create a conflict of interest by influencing our choice of a
Custodian.
To avoid creating a conflict of interest in recommending custodians, we have established the following re-
strictions in order to ensure its fiduciary responsibilities:
§
Fidelis Wealth Advisors adheres to our Code of Ethics as outlined in Item 11 above.
§
If Fidelis Wealth Advisors receives separate compensation for transactions, we will fully disclose them.
§
Fidelis Wealth Advisors will always act in accordance with all applicable federal and state regulations
governing registered investment advisory practices.
§
Fidelis Wealth Advisors emphasizes that you always have the right to choose another investment advisor
to avoid any conflict of interest.
Fidelis Wealth Advisors is authorized to aggregate purchases and sales and other transactions made for your
account with purchases and sales and other transactions in the same or similar securities or instruments for other
clients of ours. When we aggregate transactions, the actual prices applicable to the aggregated transactions will
be averaged, and the account will be deemed to have purchased or sold its proportionate share of the securities
or instruments involved at the average price obtained. Stock exchange regulations may in certain instances pre-
vent the executing broker-dealer from delivering to the account a confirmation slip with respect to its partic-
ipation in the aggregated transaction and, in such event, we will advise you in writing of any purchase or dispo-
sition of instruments for the account with respect to any such aggregated transaction.
CLIENT BROKERAGE AND CUSTODY COSTS
For our clients’ accounts that our Custodians maintain, the Custodians generally do not charge separately for
custody services. However, the Custodians receive compensation by charging ticket charges, or other fees on
trades that it executes, or that settle into clients’ accounts. In addition to commissions, the Custodians charges
a flat dollar amount as a “prime broker” or “trade away” fee for each trade that we have executed by a different
broker-dealer but where the securities bought or the funds from the securities sold are deposited (settled) into
a client’s account. These fees are in addition to the ticket charges or other compensation the client pays the
executing broker-dealer. Because of this, in order to minimize trading costs, we have our Custodians execute
most trades for client accounts. We have determined that having the Custodians execute most trades is con-
sistent with our duty to seek “best execution” of client trades. Best execution means the most favorable terms
for a transaction based on all relevant factors, including those listed above (see How We Select Brokers/Custodi-
ans).
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AVAILABLE TO US
Our Custodians are in the business of serving independent investment advisory firms like us. They provide Fidelis
and our clients with access to its institutional brokerage, trading, custody, reporting, and related services, many
of which are not typically available to retail customers. Our Custodians also makes available various support
services. Some of those services help us manage or administer our clients’ accounts; others help us manage and
grow our business. Their support services generally are available on an unsolicited basis (we do not have to re-
quest them) and at no charge to us. These are considered soft dollar benefits because there is an incentive to do
business with either Fidelity or Schwab. This creates a conflict of interest. We have established policies in this
regard to mitigate any conflicts of interest. We believe that our selection of Fidelity or Schwab as custodian and
broker is in the best interests of clients. Fidelis will at all times act in the best interest of their clients and act as
a fiduciary in carrying out services to clients. The following is a more detailed description of the Custodian’s
support services:
SERVICES THAT BENEFIT OUR CLIENTS
Our Custodians services include access to a broad range of investment products, execution of securities transac-
tions, and custody of client assets. The investment products available include some to which we might not oth-
erwise have access or that would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment by our clients. The
services described in this paragraph generally benefit our clients and their accounts.
SERVICES THAT MAY NOT DIRECTLY BENEFIT OUR CLIENTS
Our Custodians also make available other products and services that benefit us but may not directly benefit our
clients or their accounts. These products and services assist us in managing and administering our clients’ ac-
counts. They include investment research, both their own and that of third parties. We may use this research to
service all or a substantial number of our clients’ accounts, including accounts not maintained at Fidelity or
Schwab. In addition to investment research, our Custodians also make available software and other technology
that:
§
Provide access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account statements)
§
Facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts
§
Provide pricing and other market data
§
Facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts
§
Assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting
SERVICES THAT GENERALLY BENEFIT ONLY US
Our Custodians also offer other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business enterprise.
These services include:
§
Educational conferences and events
§
Consulting on technology, compliance, legal, and business needs
§
Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession
§
Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers
The may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party vendors to provide
the services to us. They may also discount or waive its fees for some of these services or pay all, or a part of, a
third party’s fees. Fidelity and Schwab may also provide us with other benefits, such as occasional business en-
tertainment of our personnel.
OUR INTEREST IN OUR CUSTODIAN’S SERVICES
The availability of these services from our Custodians benefits us because we do not have to produce or purchase
them. These services are not contingent upon us committing any specific amount of business to Fidelity and
Schwab in trading commissions. We believe that our selection of these custodians and brokers are in the best
interests of our clients.
Some of the products, services, and other benefits provided by the Custodians benefit Fidelis and may not benefit
our client accounts. Our recommendation or requirement that you place assets in Fidelity 's or Schwab’s custody
may be based in part on the benefits they provide to us or our agreement to maintain certain Assets Under
Management and not solely on the nature, cost, or quality of custody and execution services provided.
We place trades for our clients' accounts subject to its duty to seek best execution and its other fiduciary duties.
Fidelity 's or Schwab’s execution quality may be different than other broker-dealers.
We do not routinely recommend, request, or require that you direct us to execute transactions through a speci-
fied custodian. Additionally, we typically do not permit you to direct brokerage. We place trades for your account
subject to our duty to seek best execution and other fiduciary duties.
We will aggregate trades for ourselves or our associated persons with your trades, providing that the following
conditions are met:
§ Our policy for the aggregation of transactions shall be fully-disclosed separately to our existing clients (if
any) and the broker/dealer(s) through which such transactions will be placed
§ We will not aggregate transactions unless we believe that aggregation is consistent with our duty to seek
the best execution (which includes the duty to seek best price) for you and is consistent with the terms
of our investment advisory agreement with you for which trades are being aggregated
§
No advisory client will be favored over any other client; each client that participates in an aggregated
order will participate at the average share price for all our transactions in a given security on a given
business day, with transaction costs based on each client’s participation in the transaction
§ We will prepare a written statement (“Allocation Statement”) specifying the participating client accounts
and how to allocate the order among those clients
§
If the aggregated order is filled in its entirety, it will be allocated among clients in accordance with the
allocation statement; if the order is partially filled, the accounts that did not receive the previous trade’s
positions should be “first in line” to receive the next allocation
§
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the order may be allocated on a basis different from that specified in the
Allocation Statement if all client accounts receive fair and equitable treatment and the reason for
difference of allocation is explained in writing and is reviewed by our compliance officer. Our books and
records will separately reflect, for each client account, the orders of which aggregated, the securities
held by, and bought for that account
§ We will receive no additional compensation or remuneration of any kind as a result of the proposed
aggregation; and
§
Individual advice and treatment will be accorded to each advisory client
BROKERAGE FOR CLIENT REFERRALS
Fidelis Wealth Advisors does not receive economic benefits from third parties for the advice we render to our
clients. Fidelis Wealth Advisors does not directly or indirectly compensate any person for client referrals.
AGGREGATION AND ALLOCATION OF TRANSACTIONS
We may aggregate transactions if we believe that aggregation is consistent with the duty to seek best execution
for our clients and is consistent with the disclosures made to clients and terms defined in the client investment
advisory agreement. No advisory client will be favored over any other client, and each account that participates
in an aggregated order will participate at the average share price (per custodian) for all transactions in that se-
curity on a given business day.
If we do not receive a complete fill for an aggregated order, we will allocate the order on a pro rata basis. If we
determine that a pro rata allocation is not appropriate under the particular circumstances, we will base the allo-
cation on other relevant factors, which may include:
§ When only a small percentage of the order is executed, with respect to purchase allocations, allocations
may be given to accounts high in cash
§ With respect to sale allocations, allocations may be given to accounts low in cash
§ We may allocate shares to the account with the smallest order, or to the smallest position, or to an
account that is out of line with respect to security or sector weightings, relative to other portfolios with
similar mandates
§ We may allocate to one account when that account has limitations in its investment guidelines
prohibiting it from purchasing other securities that we expect to produce similar investment results and
that can be purchased by other accounts in the block
§
If an account reaches an investment guideline limit and cannot participate in an allocation, we may
reallocate shares to other accounts. For example, this may be due to unforeseen changes in an account’s
assets after an order is placed
§
If a pro rata allocation of a potential execution would result in a de Minimis allocation in one or more
accounts, we may exclude the account(s) from the allocation
§ We will document the reasons for any deviation from a pro rata allocation.
TRADE ERRORS
We have implemented procedures designed to prevent trade errors; however, trade errors in client accounts
cannot always be avoided. Consistent with our fiduciary duty, it is our policy to correct trade errors in a manner
that is in the best interest of the client. In cases where the client causes the trade error, the client will be respon-
sible for any loss resulting from the correction. Depending on the specific circumstances of the trade error, the
client may not be able to receive any gains generated as a result of the error correction. In all situations where
the client does not cause the trade error, the client will be made whole and we will absorb any loss resulting from
the trade error if the error was caused by the Firm. If the error is caused by the Custodian, the Custodian will be
responsible for covering all trade error costs. If an investment gain results from the correcting trade, the gain
will be donated to charity. We will never benefit or profit from trade errors.
DIRECTED BROKERAGE
We do not routinely recommend, request, or require that you direct us to execute transaction through a specified
broker dealer. Additionally, we typically do not permit you to direct brokerage. We place trades for your account
subject to our duty to seek best execution and other fiduciary duties.
ITEM 13 - REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
ACCOUNT REVIEWS AND REVIEWERS – INVESTMENT SUPERVISORY SERVICES
Accounts and written reports are reviewed by your primary advisor. The frequency of reviews is determined based
on your investment objectives, but no less than annually.
Financial planning clients receive their financial plans and recommendations at the time the service is com-
pleted. Depending on the type of financial planning service requested, we may meet on a regular basis with you
to discuss any potential changes to your financial plan.
More frequent reviews are triggered by a change in your investment objectives, tax considerations, large deposits
or withdrawals, large sales or purchases, loss of confidence in corporate management, or changes in economic
climate.
STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
All investment advisory clients receive reports as needed, but no less than annually. Investment advisory clients
also receive standard account statements from the custodian of their accounts on at least a quarterly basis. We
strongly urge you to compare our invoices and reports to custodian statements for accuracy. Where clients hold
assets with an outside custodian, there may be an additional $25.00 quarterly fee for Fidelis Wealth Advisors to
access and include those assets on your performance reports. Fidelis Wealth Advisors will pass on to you any fee
for this service. If charged to you, this additional fee will be listed on the Fee Schedule of the Investment Advisory
Agreement.
Financial Planning only and Consulting clients (i.e. those who have no assets under management with us in our
advisory program) will not receive regular reports from the firm.
ITEM 14 – CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
Fidelis Wealth Advisors does not receive economic benefits from third parties for the advice we render to our
clients.
PROMOTERS
We may receive client referrals from separate promoters. If a Client is introduced to our Firm by the Promoter,
we will pay that Promoter a referral fee per the requirements of Rule 206(4)-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of
1940 and any corresponding state securities law requirements. Any referral fee will be paid solely from advisory
fees and will not incur additional charges to the Client. The Promoter, at the time of the referral, will disclose the
nature of the Promoter relationship and provide each prospective client with a copy of the written disclosure
statement from the Promoter to the Client disclosing the terms of the arrangement between our Firm and the
Promoter, including the compensation to be received by the Promoter from our Firm.
LEAD GENERATION
Our Firm pays for lead generation services through other third parties. We subscribe to lead-generation services
for Registered Investment Advisors and other financial professionals. In exchange for these services, we pay a
flat monthly fee. In general, Lead generation firms provide an online search tool to the public that allows pro-
spective clients to search for individual advisors within a selected state or region. These passive websites may
enable prospective clients to contact an advisor via electronic mail, telephone, or other contact information.
Clients who find our Firm this way do not pay more for their services than Clients referred in any other fashion.
There is no direct solicitation of Clients for the IAR by the lead generation service.
CLIENT REFERRALS THROUGH ZOE FINANCIAL
Our Firm participates in a client referral program with Zoe Financial, Inc. (“ Zoe”). Zoe introduces
prospective clients to our firm. If you choose to engage us through Zoe and chose to hold your ac-
count on the Zoe Platform, Zoe will deduct a Platform fee equal to 0.15% (15 basis points) of the
assets under management attributable to Zoe-referred clients directly from your account on an on-
going basis. This platform fee is in addition to the advisory fee you pay our firm under our standard
fee schedule.
As a result, clients referred through Zoe and hold their account(s) on the Zoe Platform will pay more
in total fees than clients who engage our services directly. This arrangement creates a conflict of
interest because we benefit from receiving client introductions through Zoe while you incur addi-
tional costs.
Zoe is an independent third party and is not affiliated with our firm. Additional information regarding
Zoe’s referral practices and compensation arrangements is available upon request.
OTHER PROFESSIONALS
Our Firm may refer business to estate planning attorneys, accountants, insurance brokers, and other profession-
als. However, we do not receive monetary or other material compensation for referring Clients to such profes-
sionals. We also do not pay any person or firm commissions or other items of material value for referring Clients
to us. If we receive or offer an introduction to a Client, we do not pay or earn a referral fee, nor are there estab-
lished quid pro quo arrangements. Each Client can accept or deny such referral or subsequent services.
From time to time, we may receive expense reimbursement or direct payment by the sponsor for travel and/or
marketing expenses from distributors of investment and/or insurance products. Travel expense coverage is typ-
ically a result of attendance at due diligence and/or investment training events hosted by product sponsors.
Marketing expense reimbursements or direct payments are typically the results of informal expense-sharing ar-
rangements in which product sponsors may underwrite costs incurred for marketing, such as advertising, pub-
lishing, and seminar expenses. Although receipt of these travel and marketing expenses are not predicated upon
specific sales quotas, the product sponsor payments are typically made by those sponsors for whom sales have
been made or it is anticipated sales will be made.
ITEM 15 – CUSTODY
Fidelis Wealth Advisors clients’ accounts are held by a qualified custodian, as designated by the client in writing,
and other than to withdraw advisory fees, Fidelis Wealth Advisors shall have no liability to the client for any loss
or other harm to any property in the account. This includes harm to any property in the account resulting from
the insolvency of the custodian or any unauthorized acts of the agents or employees of the custodian and
whether or not the full amount or such loss is covered by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”)
or any other insurance which may be carried by the custodian. The client understands that SIPC provides only
limited protection for the loss of property held by a broker-dealer.
As a fiduciary, Fidelis Wealth Advisors will always act in the client’s best interests and in doing so, the above does
not limit or modify that duty to our clients. Custodial statements will include fees charged by Fidelis Wealth
Advisors. Please see Item 5 – Fees and Compensation regarding the direct deduction of our fees from your
account. We strongly urge you to compare our invoices to Custodian statements for accuracy.
Standing Letters of Authorization (SLOA)
Additionally, our Firm is deemed to have custody of the Client’s funds or securities when you have standing
authorizations with their Custodian to move money from your account to a third-party Standing Letter of Au-
thorization (“SLOA”) and, under that SLOA, it authorizes us to designate the amount or timing of transfers with
the Custodian. The SEC has set forth standards to protect your assets in such situations, which we follow. We do
not have a beneficial interest in any of the accounts we are deemed to have Custody of where SLOAs are on file.
In addition, account statements reflecting all activity on the account(s) are delivered directly from the qualified
Custodian to each Client or the Client’s independent representative at least monthly. You should carefully review
those statements and are urged to compare the statements against reports received from us. When you have
questions about your account statements, contact us, your Advisor, or the qualified Custodian preparing the
statement.
ITEM 16 – INVESTMENT DISCRETION
Fidelis Wealth Advisors asks our clients to give us discretionary authority to execute transactions without our
client’s prior approval. These transactions may include the purchase and selling of securities, arranging for pay-
ments, or generally acting on behalf of our clients in most matters necessary to the handling of the account. This
includes the buying or selling of securities, the rebalancing and selection of portfolios, the selection of portfolio
managers or subadvisors, or the disbursement of funds to the client as requested or arranged. Discretionary
authority is granted once an election is made on the Investment Advisory Agreement and the agreement is signed
by the client. In cases where we are not given discretion, we must receive permission from the client to make
any trades on a non-discretionary basis.
You may make requests or make suggestions regarding the investments made in your portfolio. Restrictions on
trading which, in our opinion, are not in your best interest cannot be honored and, if forced, may result in the
termination of our agreement.
Retirement Plans (ERISA) Depending on the type of plan and how it is arranged, Fidelis Wealth Advisors may or
may not have discretionary control of retirement plans’ assets or their accounts and it is clearly set forth in the
plan agreement.
In some instances, we may not have discretionary authority. For non-discretionary accounts, our Firm will discuss
all transactions with our Client before execution, or the Client will be required to make the trades in an employer-
sponsored account.
ITEM 17 – VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
Proxy Voting
The clients of Fidelis Wealth Advisors retain the authority to proxy vote. You should ensure that proxy ballots
are mailed directly to you by selecting this option on your custodial application forms. You are welcome to del-
egate said proxy voting authority to a third-party representative (non-advisory personnel) by filing the appropri-
ate custodial form. Fidelis Wealth Advisors will not accept authority to vote client proxies. This policy is set forth
in Fidelis Wealth Advisors’ standard advisory agreements.
Should Fidelis Wealth Advisors inadvertently receive proxy information for a security held in clients' accounts, it
would immediately forward such information to clients but will not take any further action with respect to the
voting of such proxy. Upon termination of the advisory relationship, Fidelis Wealth Advisors will make a good
faith and reasonable attempt to forward proxy information inadvertently received on behalf of clients to the
forwarding address provided by clients. Clients may contact Fidelis Wealth Advisors for advice or information
about a particular proxy vote; however, Fidelis Wealth Advisors shall not be deemed to have proxy voting au-
thority solely as a result of providing such advice to clients.
Class Action Lawsuits
Our Firm does not advise or instruct Clients on whether to participate as a member of class action lawsuits and
will not automatically file claims on the Client’s behalf. However, if a Client notifies us that they wish to partici-
pate in a class action, we will provide the Client with transaction information about the Client’s account that is
required to file a proof of claim in a class action.
ITEM 18 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We do not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or more in advance.
Therefore, we are not required to include a balance sheet for our most recent fiscal year. Finally, we have not
been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Privacy Policy
Our Firm collects non-public personal information about Clients from information received on applications or
other forms and information about Client transactions with firm affiliates, others, or our Firm. We do not disclose
any nonpublic personal information about current or former Clients except as permitted by law or to provide
services. Firm employees have limited access to Clients' data based on their responsibilities to provide products
or services to Clients.
Our Firm maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in compliance with federal standards to pro-
tect Client information. If the IAR servicing a Client account leaves our Firm to join another firm, the IAR is not
permitted to retain copies of specific Client information.
A copy of our Firm's Privacy Policy is given to each Client at account opening, upon request, and provided annu-
ally.
If a Client does not want an IAR to retain copies of the Client's non-public personal information when the IAR
leaves our Firm to join another firm, the Client can contact our Compliance Department by calling 303-800-4683.
Business Continuity Plan
Our Firm has developed a Business Continuity Plan to address how our Firm will respond to events that signifi-
cantly disrupt the operation of our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions are unpre-
dictable, our Firm will be flexible in responding to current events as they occur.
Within 24 hours after a significant business disruption, our Firm plans to quickly recover and resume business
operations and respond by safeguarding employees and property, making a financial and operational assess-
ment, protecting our Firm’s books and records, and allowing Clients to transact business. Given the scope and
severity of the significant business disruption, our business continuity plan is designed to permit our Firm to
resume operations as quickly as possible.
Our Firm’s business continuity plan addresses: data back-up and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial
and operational assessments; alternative communications with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate
physical location of employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank, and counter-party impact; regulatory report-
ing; and assuring Clients’ prompt access to their funds and securities if our Firm is unable to continue as a busi-
ness.
Our Firm backs up essential records in a geographically separate area. At the same time, every emergency poses
unique problems based on external factors, such as the time of day and the severity of the disruption. Its objec-
tive is to restore operations and be able to complete existing transactions and accept new transactions and pay-
ments within four hours of the disruptive event. Client orders and requests for funds and securities could be
delayed during this period.
Contacting Us
If a Client cannot contact our Firm via 303-800-4683 after a significant business disruption, please visit the web-
site at www.fidelis-wealth.com to review updated contact information.
Varying Disruptions
Significant business disruptions can vary in scope, such as disruption that affects only our Firm, a single building
housing our Firm, the business district where our Firm is located, the city where our Firm is located, or the whole
region. Within each area, the disruption's severity can also vary from minimal to severe. In a disruption to only
our Firm or a building housing our Firm, our Firm will transfer operations to a local site when needed and expect
to recover and resume business within 24 hours.
In a disruption affecting our Firm’s business district, city, or region, our Firm will transfer operations to a site
outside the affected area and recover and resume business within three (3) days. In either situation, our Firm
plans to continue the business, transfer operations to its clearing firm if necessary, and provide Clients with in-
structions on contacting our Firm through its parent company’s website: www.fidelis-wealth.com. If the signifi-
cant business disruption is so severe that it prevents our Firm from remaining in business, our Firm will ensure
the Client’s prompt access to their funds and securities.
This information is provided solely to Clients of our Firm, and no further distribution or disclosure is permitted
without the prior written consent of our Firm. No person other than our Firm Clients can rely on any statement
herein. Our Firm’s Business Continuity Plan is reviewed and updated regularly and is subject to change.

Activities and Affiliations.
REGISTERED REPRESENTATIVE
Mr. Van Sant is a Registered Representative and Investment Advisor Representative of CFSC, a securities
broker/dealer, Financial and a member of the Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and an invest-
ment adviser registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
As a broker-dealer, CSFC engages in various activities normally associated with securities brokerage firms.
Pursuant to the investment advice given by Mr. Van Sant investments in securities will be recommended for
you. If CFSCis selected as the broker-dealer, it will affect transactions in securities for you, a client of Fidelis
Wealth Advisors and Mr. Van Sant. By serving as the broker-dealer, CFSC and Mr. Van Sant will receive com-
missions for executing securities transactions.
If CSFC is selected as the broker-dealer, the transaction charges can be higher or lower than the charges you
pay if the transactions were executed at other broker-dealers. You should note, however, that you are under
no obligation to purchase securities through Mr. Van Sant, Fidelis Wealth Advisors or CFSC.
Mr. Van Sant will provide advice regarding investment company securities. You should be aware that, in
addition to the advisory fees you pay, each investment company also charges its own separate investment
advisory fees and other expenses (internal management fees). In addition, you should be aware that mutual
funds can be purchased separately independent of the investment management services of Fidelis Wealth
Advisors.
Mr. Van Sant, in their capacity as registered representatives of CFSC, or as agents appointed with various life,
disability or other insurance companies, receives commissions, 12(b) -1 fees, trails, or other compensation
from the respective product sponsors and/or as a result of effecting securities transactions for you. However,

through Fidelis Wealth Advisors.
LICENSED INSURANCE REPRESENTATIVE
Mr. Van Sant is a licensed insurance agent. Insurance recommendation implementation is separate and apart
from Mr. Van Sant’s role with Fidelis. As an insurance professional, Mr. Van Sant will receive customary com-
missions and related revenues from the various insurance companies selling products. Mr. Van Sant is not
required to offer the products of any particular insurance company. Commissions generated by insurance
sales do not offset regular advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest in recommending certain
insurance companies' products. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made by Mr.
Van Sant. Mr. Van Sant will spend approximately 10% of his time per month in this capacity.

PROFESSIONAL DESIGNATIONS:
§
CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®)1
§
Accredited Investment Fiduciary® (AIF®)2
EXPLANATION OF DESIGNATIONS:
Certified Financial Planner (“CFP®”) Designation Minimum Qualifications1
I am certified for financial planning services in the United States by Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP
Board”). Therefore, I may refer to myself as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional or a CFP® professional, and I
may use these and CFP Board’s other certification marks (the “CFP Board Certification Marks”). The CFP® certification is
voluntary. No federal or state law or regulation requires financial planners to hold the CFP® certification. You may find more
information about the CFP® certification at www.CFP.net.
CFP® professionals have met CFP Board’s high standards for education, examination, experience, and ethics. To become a
CFP® professional, an individual must fulfill the following requirements:
§
Education – Earn a bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited college or university and complete
CFP Board-approved coursework at a college or university through a CFP Board Registered Program. The
coursework covers the financial planning subject areas CFP Board has determined are necessary for the
competent and professional delivery of financial planning services, as well as a comprehensive financial
plan development capstone course. A candidate may satisfy some of the coursework requirements
through other qualifying credentials. CFP Board implemented the bachelor’s degree or higher
requirement in 2007 and the financial planning development capstone course requirement in March
2012. Therefore, a CFP® professional who first became certified before those dates may not have earned
a bachelor’s or higher degree or completed a financial planning development capstone course.
§
Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination is designed to
assess an individual’s ability to integrate and apply a broad base of financial planning knowledge in the
context of real-life financial planning situations.
§
Experience – Complete 6,000 hours of professional experience related to the personal financial planning
process, or 4,000 hours of apprenticeship experience that meets additional requirements.
§
Ethics – Satisfy the Fitness Standards for Candidates for CFP® Certification and Former CFP® Professionals
Seeking Reinstatement and agree to be bound by CFP Board’s Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct
(“Code and Standards”), which sets forth the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements to remain certi-
fied and maintain the right to continue to use the CFP Board Certification Marks:
§
Ethics – Commit to complying with CFP Board’s Code and Standards. This includes a commitment to CFP
Board, as part of the certification, to act as a fiduciary, and therefore, act in the best interests of the
client, at all times when providing financial advice and financial planning. CFP Board may sanction a CFP®
professional who does not abide by this commitment, but CFP Board does not guarantee a CFP®
professional's services. A client who seeks a similar commitment should obtain a written engagement
that includes a fiduciary obligation to the client.
§
Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education every two years to maintain
competence, demonstrate specified levels of knowledge, skills, and abilities, and keep up with
developments in financial planning. Two of the hours must address the Code and Standards.
AIF® (Accredited Investment Fiduciary®)2
The AIF Designation certifies that the recipient has specialized knowledge of fiduciary standards of care and their application
to the investment management process. To receive the AIF Designation, the individual must meet prerequisite criteria based
on a combination of education, relevant industry experience, and/or ongoing professional development, complete a training
program, successfully pass a comprehensive, closed-book final examination under the supervision of a proctor and agree to
abide by the Code of Ethics and Conduct Standards. To maintain the AIF Designation, the individual must annually attest to
the Code of Ethics and Conduct Standards and accrue and report a minimum of six hours of continuing education annually.
The Designation is administered by the Center for Fiduciary Studies, the standards-setting body of fi360.
