Trusts, Endowments, 401(k) Plans, Pension/Profit Sharing Plans, and Keogh Plans.
We also offer non-discretionary investment management services to provide advice to the client’s pension

Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
PROFESSIONAL INVESTMENT MANAGER
Based on our research, we were unable to find a universal definition of a Professional Investment
Manager/Money Manager. In addition, it does not appear that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
has created a definition; therefore, here is what we consider the characteristics of a Professional Investment
Manager/Money Manager:
1. A professional investment manager does not sell products or earn commissions.
2. A professional investment manager is a specialist, much like a brain surgeon, and does not earn fees
by doing financial planning, giving tax advice, etc.
3. A professional investment manager provides for the continuous monitoring and management of all
investable accounts. A professional investment manager will also send quarterly performance
reports on a time and size weighted basis, along with appropriate benchmarks of excellence for
comparison purposes.
4. The investment management firm is GIPS compliant and examined by an independent auditor.
5. The investment management firm maintains lifetime historical performance records by risk category
for all the accounts they have managed.
3
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Fischer Financial Services, Inc.’s investment philosophy is to produce the best rate of return with the least
amount of risk. We try to provide consistent performance over the long-term by buying and holding. When a
security is purchased, it is expected to be held more than three years. Securities with attractive short and long-
term growth potential are purchased. We are not quick to sell a security unless conditions have deteriorated so
rapidly that quick action is required. This investment process leads to low turnover in our accounts.
Our equity investment style is bottom-up, (i.e., best stocks regardless of industry). Large-cap growth stocks at a
reasonable price are the foundation of our larger accounts. Smaller accounts use no load mutual funds.
Established market leaders are carefully analyzed using quantitative and qualitative factors before being
selected for our portfolios. Our qualitative research includes such elements as integrity of top management,
new product releases, regulatory problems, and pending litigation.
Fixed income investments are used in all moderate, conservative, and ultra conservative accounts. We buy
high quality, shorter duration bonds, no load bond funds or Exchange Traded Funds. Corporate and
Government bonds are used depending on the client’s needs. Certificates of deposits and money market funds
are used to reduce risk.
We have developed seven different investment templates in rank order of risk from high to low: Worldwide
Aggressive, Standard Aggressive, Worldwide Moderate, Standard Moderate, Worldwide Conservative,
Standard Conservative, and Ultra Conservative. These different templates use a varied mix of individual stocks
and bonds, no load mutual funds, Exchange Traded Funds, certificates of deposits, and money market funds.
Some of the ways we limit risks include: not buying on margin, not trading options, not using junk bonds, not
using financial derivatives, and by not acquiring limited partnerships. All of our accounts are still subject to the
possibility of losing money.
Our most aggressive template is our Worldwide Aggressive which could be up or down much more than the
stock market in general; while our Ultra Conservative template may move only a faction of what the stock
market moves.
Typical sources of information include financial newspapers and magazines, research materials prepared by
others, corporate rating services, annual reports, prospectuses, company press releases, SEC filings, financial
data providers such as Bloomberg and Morningstar, as well as our own in-house research.

Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
We have adopted a written Code of Ethics. This code sets forth standards of conduct and requires
compliance with federal and state securities’ laws. Our code also addresses personal trading. Anyone can
obtain a copy of our Code of Ethics by contacting our office.
Providing investment advice in regards to retirement plan accounts or individual retirement account rollovers
is not a service that we would normally offer. However, if we do provide such advice, we are fiduciaries
within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue
Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates
some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best
interest and not put our interests ahead of yours.
Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments.
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
Retirement plan accounts or individual retirement rollover accounts have potential conflicts of interest: In
reviewing the rollover options with a client or potential client, we would benefit from them choosing our firm
to manage the account through increased revenue to us. This is a conflict of interest. We act as a fiduciary
when explaining the pros and cons of all reasonable options and allowing the client/potential client to
choose which one meets their needs the best. No client is under any obligation to rollover retirement assets
to accounts under our management.
A Firm wide policy statement outlining compliance with The Insider Trading and Securities Fraud
Enforcement Act of 1988 has been adopted. This statement is accepted by all associated persons and
employees. There are procedures for:
1) Restricting access to files,
2) Providing continuing education,
3) Restricting and/or monitoring trading on those securities of which employees may have non-
public information,
4) Requiring all employees to conduct their trading through a specified broker or reporting all
transactions promptly to the Chief Compliance Officer, and
5) Monitoring the securities trading of employees and associated persons.
Fischer Financial Services, Inc. does not have a material interest in any investment that we recommend.
Fischer Financial Services, Inc. or its employees may buy or sell securities identical to those being bought
or sold in clients’ accounts.
5
As these situations may represent a conflict of interest, we have established the following restrictions:
1) A director, officer or employee shall not buy or sell securities where their decision is based on
information obtained through their employment. Unless, this information is also available to the
investing public on reasonable inquiry. No associated person or employee shall prefer his or
her own interest to that of the advisory client.
2) All trades in employee and associated accounts are reviewed for compliance to our policies.
3) All employees must act in accordance with all applicable federal and state regulations
governing registered investment advisory practices.
4) If an employee is implementing partial stock buys or sells in their account, we will make every
effort to trade these accounts near the end of the trading day.
Brokerage Practices
Fischer Financial Services, Inc. does not require a client to use a specific broker/dealer. We view the
selection of a broker/dealer as the client’s responsibility. Most of our clients use Fidelity Brokerage Services
and Charles Schwab. A summary of the trading costs and services for these two brokers is provided to
prospective clients in their initial interview.
The client’s selection of a broker/dealer determines the commission schedule for the account. A client’s
selection of broker/dealer may cause them to pay higher commission rate than other clients. Execution of
trades and commissions are analyzed by our best execution practices.
We do not block trade for any group of clients.
Review of Accounts
We firmly believe that investing cannot be done in a vacuum. Communication is critical to the investment
process. Meetings with the client help us learn their risk tolerance, tax brackets, and investment goals. We
also try to learn about the client's personal goals, likes, and dislikes. This information is used to customize a
6
portfolio to match the needs and goals of the client. An investment plan is reviewed and accepted by the
client before we begin to manage the account.
Accounts are monitor to identify and correct any transaction or valuation errors. Daily transaction posting
are reviewed and account are reconciled with data from the custodian.
More frequent account reviews are triggered by such factors as:
1) Material changes in a client’s circumstances or investment objectives,
2) Changes in market conditions,
3) Account’s investment performance below expectations,
4) Cash deposits and withdrawals, and
5) Periodic investment rebalancing.
Quarterly account reports containing the portfolio manager’s message, market value of holdings, and
account’s performance are provided to all clients. Other reports are available upon request. Clients are
kept up to date through periodic written correspondences, telephone calls, and personal consultations.
Confirmations of each trade and statements are provided by broker/dealer directly to the client. The
confirmations detail each buy and sell made in the account. Monthly statements show the monthly activity in
each account and the month end market value of each investment.
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Conflict of Interest
Any activity that could create a possible conflict of interest in managing our clients’ investments will be
reviewed thoroughly. If it is determined to be a conflict, it will be properly disclosed. At this time there are
no such conflicts.
Soft Dollar Arrangements
Fischer Financial Services, Inc. has not negotiated written or unwritten soft dollar arrangements with any
firm, including the broker/dealers that are used by our clients. However, we may have access and use
certain services offered free-of-charge by these broker\dealers to their business partners.
Solicitor Fees.
Compensation for a client referred to Fischer Financial Services, Inc. may be paid. Payment can only be
made to a solicitor who is a registered investment advisor or to a registered representative of a firm that is a
registered investment advisor. Proper disclosure is required prior to the payment of a referral fee.
7
The required client disclosure depends on the type of solicitation:
1. Impersonal Services Only. Includes investment advice not intended to meet the investment
objectives or needs of specific individuals or accounts. No specific disclosure is required.
2. Affiliated Solicitor. If The Company is using an affiliated solicitor who is offering personalized
advisory services, the nature of the relationship must be disclosed but no disclosure of the
specific terms of the agreement is required.
3. Unaffiliated Solicitor. If The Company is using an unaffiliated solicitor, full disclosure of the
relationship must be made including the amount of compensation the solicitor will be paid. In
addition, the client must sign a written acknowledgment showing that the solicitor’s disclosure
was received.
Custody
Fischer Financial Services, Inc. does not have custody of clients’ funds.
Investment Discretion
The client gives Fischer Financial Services, Inc. limited power of attorney to place trades in the managed
account. We exercise full discretion on when, how much and which investments will be bought or sold. The
client may place investment limitations.
We do not have full power of attorney. In other words, we do not have the power to transfer or withdraw
funds or securities from a client’s account.
Voting Client Securities
When an account is opened the client has the option to receive proxy materials and place their vote or they
can choose to delegate this authority to us. Whichever choice is implemented, our clients are always
encouraged to call our office with any question pertaining to their investment interests.
8
If delegated, we have the fiduciary responsibility to vote on matters of corporate governance through the
proxy voting process. This vote should be in a manner that is in our clients’ best interests. Each proxy will be
analyzed and voted by our Senior Portfolio Manager. In the case of his inability to vote, the Chief
Compliance Officer will be responsible for casting the vote. The client may revoke the power of proxy voting
from Fischer Financial Services, Inc., in writing.
Anyone can obtain a copy of our Proxy, Related Material Delivery, Voting Policy, and each proxy voted by
contacting our office.

Fred D. Fischer, President, supervises William B. Angino, CCO and Thomas K. Baldwin, Vice President of
Client Services; William B. Angino, CCO, supervises Fred D. Fischer, President and Thomas K. Baldwin, Vice
President of Client Services. All supervised persons can be contacted at (717) 233-8901.
Fischer Financial Services, Inc. strictly enforces the supervision of advisory activities provided to our clients.
Frederick D. Fischer, William B. Angino, and Thomas K. Baldwin, each being a supervised person, work as a
team when placing trades and maintain a policy of pre-approval of each other’s trades. Any advice that we
provide to clients is in writing. Detailed written procedures for supervision of investment advisor
representatives are as follows:
1. The review and written approval by the designated supervisor at the opening of each account:
The President or Vice President of Client Services currently meets with potential clients. A FORM-ADV is
provided to all potential clients along with Fischer Financial Services, Inc.’s investment philosophy,
history, background performance, and listing of references. All potential clients sign and date that they
had received and understand the FORM-ADV. If the prospect decides to utilize the firm’s services, an in-
depth interview is conducted to determine performance objectives, risk tolerance, and investment
preferences. Advisory Agreements, including a firm quote for services, and a written investment plan is
presented with measurable objectives. All signed paperwork is maintained in client’s folder.
2. Portfolio management process:
Fischer Financial Services, Inc. provides continuous management services to individuals and institutional
investors based on the specific needs of each client. Implementation of management strategy is
accomplished by instructing brokerages or other custodians to purchase or sell securities or similar
property. Brokerage statements and trade confirmations are utilized to verify this process. The firm
interviews every prospective client and jointly establishes measurable investment objectives based on the
risk tolerance level of each individual. During this process, Fischer Financial Services, Inc. obtains
investment parameters set by each client. After reviewing the information, the firm drafts a written
investment plan initially listing investments to be bought or sold as well as the amount of securities to be
bought or sold.
Fischer Financial Services, Inc. retains limited power of attorney with respect to the trading activity of
accounts managed with certain exceptions. Accordingly, Fischer Financial Services, Inc. exercises full
discretion as to securities purchased and sold and the amount of such transactions within the guidelines
set forth in the Form ADV, Part 2, Items 3 and 4C. The client, as outlined in the Investment Advisory
Agreement may place investment limitations.
The firm makes account reviews on an ongoing basis. Triggering factors include a change in asset
allocation, policy limitations, sector or issue weightings, new buy/sells, or an internal sell discipline. The
President supervises securities selection and monitors all accounts.

3. The frequent examination of all clients accounts to detect and prevent irregularities or abuses:
The CCO meets with the Data Base Manager to determine any irregularities relative to trades placed as
needed but no less often than monthly. If irregularities or mistakes are discovered, the necessary
adjustments are made.
4. The prompt review and written approval of all transactions by investment advisor representatives
as well as the solicitation or execution of all advisory transactions by investment advisor
representatives:
The CCO reviews and approves trades. Trades are placed by the CCO in accordance to Fischer
Financial Services, Inc.’s trade allocation policy. A hard copy is kept for all trades placed to ensure that
confirmations match the original orders placed. If additional representatives are hired, our internal
procedures and policies will be modified to ensure compliance with Rule 1203, Section 8.
5. The prompt review and written approval of the handling of all client complaints:
In the unlikely event of an actual client complaint, the complaint will be brought to the attention of the
President of the firm on the day it was received. The President of Fischer Financial Services, Inc. will
determine the facts and respond in writing to the client within three working days after the firm has
received the complaint.
