Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
FMA Wealth Management, LLC (“FMA” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. FMA was founded in January 2021 and is owned and operated by
James M. Morris, CFP®, AIF® (Managing Partner and Chief Compliance Officer). This Disclosure Brochure provides
information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by FMA.
B. Advisory Services Offered
FMA offers Wealth Management services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, charitable
organizations, corporations, and businesses (each referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary,
the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. FMA's fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For more
information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading.
Wealth Management Services
FMA provides customized wealth management services for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous
personal Client contact and interaction while providing a broad range of comprehensive financial planning in
connection with discretionary investment management of Client portfolios. These services are described below.
Investment Management Services - FMA provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is
achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment
management and related advisory services. FMA works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals
and objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation to create a portfolio strategy. FMA primarily manages Client
account[s] utilizing Modern Portfolio Theory (“MPT”) through long-term strategic portfolios.
Client account[s] will be invested per their individual risk profile and managed to a target risk and return level.
Portfolios will be constructed using a mix of mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) depending upon the
asset class or sub-asset class. Specific portoflios may include individual legacy stock positions that will be
managed on a hold and/or sell basis due to tax reasons and to allow for adequate diversification. In certain rare
instances, individual municipal bonds might be utilized as part of a larger allocation. Portfolios will be rebalanced
based upon market conditions, drift ranges and/or operationally oriented issues. Typically portfolios will be
rebalanced one to three times per year depending upon markets and individual portfolios. In non-qualified
accounts, tax implications will be incorporated into the rebalancing process. Each Client will have the opportunity to
place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to
acceptance by the Advisor. The Advisor may retain other types of investments from the Client’s legacy portfolio due
to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as identified between the Advisor and
the Client.
FMA evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence
process. FMA may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. FMA
may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may recommend
employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement. FMA may recommend selling positions
for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure
to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change
in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the
Client’s risk tolerance.
Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement
accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the
FMA Wealth Management, LLC
33 Railroad Avenue, Suite 2, Duxbury, MA 02332
Phone: 781-934-7880 * Fax: 781-934-8220
Page 4
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will
provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the
assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to
another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account
to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or
increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a
retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
At no time will FMA accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited authority as
outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the Custodian,
pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Financial Planning Services - FMA will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to
Clients, pursuant to a written financial planning agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s
financial situation, depending on their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve
preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals
and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to,
investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance needs and/or other areas
of a Client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.
FMA may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique situation.
For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s financial
situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may not provide
a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of contract date, assuming
all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for
investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would
increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any
recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to
act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the
transaction through the Advisor.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging FMA to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or more
agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the
Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – FMA, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that seeks
to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – FMA will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment
objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – FMA will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals
and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – FMA will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.

D. Wrap Fee Programs
FMA does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are
provided directly by FMA.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, FMA manages $174,004,778 in Client assets, all of which are managed on a
discretionary basis. Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into one more
written agreements with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the
investment advisory agreement. Wealth management fees are based on the market value of assets under
management at the end of the prior quarter. Wealth management fees are based on the following schedule:
Assets Under Management ($)
First $1,000,000
Next $1,000,000 (up to $2,000,000)
Next $2,000,000 (up to $4,000,000)
Next $6,000,000 (up to $10,000,000
Over $10,000,000
Annual Rate (%)
1.00%
0.75%
0.50%
0.40%
Negotiable
Certain legacy Clients may be billed under a different fee schedule. The wealth management fee in the first quarter of
service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at
the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under
management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by FMA will be independently valued by the
Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and other
related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor
shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Financial Planning Services
FMA typically offers financial planning services as part of its overall wealth management service. FMA also offers
financial planning services at an hourly rate of $250 per hour or as a fixed fee engagement. Fixed fees range up to
$5,000. Fees may be negotiable based on the nature and complexity of the services to be provided and the overall
relationship with the Advisor. An estimate for total hours and/or total costs will be provided to the Client prior to
engaging for these services.
B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are calculated by the Advisor and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian.
The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted from the Client’s
account[s] at the beginning of the] respective quarter. The amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate
(annual rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management with FMA at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will
be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the wealth management
fee. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by FMA to be paid directly from their

Phone: 781-934-7880 * Fax: 781-934-8220
Page 6
account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the wealth management agreement and separate account forms provided
by the Custodian.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning fees may be invoiced up to fifty percent (50%) of the expected total fee upon execution of the
financial planning agreement. The balance shall be invoiced upon completion of the agreed upon deliverable[s].
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than FMA, in connection with investments
made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and securities execution fees
charged by the Custodian, as applicable. The Advisor's recommended Custodian may not charge securities
transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in a Client's account, provided that the account meets the terms and
conditions of the Custodian's brokerage requirements. However, the Custodian typically charges for mutual funds
and other types of investments. The fees charged by FMA are separate and distinct from these custody and
execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to FMA for wealth management services are separate and distinct from the expenses
charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in
each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds,
other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a possible
distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of FMA, but would not
receive the services provided by FMA which are designed, among other things, to assist the Client in determining
which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial situation and objectives. Accordingly, the
Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by FMA to fully understand the total
fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Wealth Management Services
FMA is compensated for its investment management services in advance of the quarter in which quarter services are
rendered. Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written
notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment advisory agreement within five (5) business
days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges
for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the
Client. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid Wealth fees from the effective date of
termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable
without the Client’s prior consent.
Financial Planning Services
FMA may require an advance deposit as described above. Either party may terminate the financial planning
agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the
financial planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client.
After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of
termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Client shall be billed for actual
hours logged on the planning project times the contractual hourly rate or in the case of a fixed fee engagement, the
percentage of the engagement scope completed by the Advisor. The Client’s financial planning agreement with the
Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
FMA does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for securities
transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Mr. Morris is licensed as an independent insurance professional. As an independent insurance professional, an
Advisory Person may earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance
products offered to Clients. Insurance commissions earned by the Advisory Person are separate and in addition to
investment advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest as an Advisory Person who is also an

33 Railroad Avenue, Suite 2, Duxbury, MA 02332
Phone: 781-934-7880 * Fax: 781-934-8220
Page 7
insurance professional will have an incentive to recommend insurance products to the Client for the purpose of
generating commissions rather than solely based on the Client’s needs. Clients are under no obligation, contractual
or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through any Advisory Person affiliated with the Advisor. Please see
Item 10 below.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
FMA does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by FMA are
as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held by any
Client.
FMA does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a
hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
FMA offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, charitable
organizations, corporations, and businesses. FMA generally does not impose a minimum relationship size.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
FMA primarily employs Modern Portfolio Theory, fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis methods in
developing investment strategies for its Clients. Research and analysis from FMA are derived from numerous
sources, including financial media companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of
company activities, including annual reports, prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others.
Modern Portfolio Theory (“MPT”), a Nobel Prize-winning approach, as a formal process for investment selection.
Through the comparison of historical return, historical volatility, and historical correlation, MPT finds the most
efficient portfolio for a given level of risk. To illustrate this concept, in the figure below, the efficient frontier (curved
line) allows an investor to choose the most efficient portfolio (squares) based on desired return or risk. The
application of MPT to real-world investments is not pure science. The sensitive process of gathering suitable inputs
and constructing constraints to create marketable portfolios requires the infusion of opinion, experience, and
importantly, a deep understanding of financial theory and markets. An inherent risk in the application of MPT is the
understanding that historical characteristics of an investment or index are not necessarily indicative of future
outcomes. The Advisor employs various measures to mitigate this risk, including, but not limited to: continuously
challenging all assumptions, applying practical constraints to the portfolio models and considering alternative
courses of history.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. This criteria
consists generally of ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being
analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment with
a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment,
it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in
the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors
these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the
Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in determining the
recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts to identify market patterns and
trends, which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. The primary risk
in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if
the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that FMA will be able to accurately predict such a
reoccurrence.

Phone: 781-934-7880 * Fax: 781-934-8220
Page 8
Cyclical analysis is similar to technical analysis in that it involves the analysis of market conditions at a macro
(entire market/economy) or micro (company specific) level, rather than the overall fundamental analysis of the
health of the particular company that FMA is recommending. The risks with cyclical analysis are similar to those of
technical analysis.
As noted above, FMA generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their
financial goals. FMA will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year, but may hold for shorter
periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times, FMA may also buy
and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals
of the security, sector or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. FMA will assist Clients in determining an appropriate strategy
based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a Client will
meet their investment goals.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the
investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may
lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to
determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are
included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client
or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals or
other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts.
The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction
process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk
based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs has a large bid-
ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may
dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased
or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.
Bond Risks
Bonds are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e. the risk that bond prices will fall
if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to maturity, and the coupon
rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e. the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower rate than
was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e. the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at a rate that
exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk, i.e. the risk
associated with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the company defaulting on its

Phone: 781-934-7880 * Fax: 781-934-8220
Page 9
repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e. the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the
company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6) Liquidity
Risks, i.e. the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the bond.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the
mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual
fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same
price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve
a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss
these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving FMA or Mr. Morris. FMA values the trust
Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor
or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor or Advisory Persons are available on
the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Advisor’s firm
name or CRD# 313049.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Insurance Agency Affiliations
As noted in Item 5, Mr. Morris is a licensed insurance professional. Implementations of insurance recommendations
are separate and apart from one’s role with the Advisor. As an insurance professional, the Advisory Person will
receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the various insurance companies whose products
are sold. Advisory Persons are not required to offer the products of any particular insurance company.
Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset investment advisory fees. This presents a conflict of
interest in recommending certain products of the insurance companies. Clients are under no obligation to
implement any recommendations made by the Advisor or Advisory Persons.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
FMA has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to each
Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with FMA (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was developed to
provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to each Client. FMA and
its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of
FMA’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code, but also to the general
principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address employee ethics and conflicts of
interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at 781-934-7880.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
FMA allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. FMA does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor does not
act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. FMA does not have a material interest in
any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
FMA allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients
presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and

procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public
information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When
trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The
fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more
advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is
mitigated by FMA by conducting a coordinated review of personal accounts and the accounts of the Clients. The
Advisor has also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While FMA allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded afterwards. At no
time will FMA, or any Supervised Person of FMA, transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
FMA does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and execution services.
The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client assets and
authorize FMA to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement. Further,
FMA does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade
basis.
Where FMA does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the Custodian to
Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the Custodian recommended by the
Advisor and will not incur any extra advisory fees imposed by the Advisor by utilizing a custodian not recommended
by FMA. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is not
engaged. FMA may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness of
commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, and its reputation and/or the location of
the Custodian’s offices.
FMA typically recommends that Clients establish accounts at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a FINRA-
registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Schwab will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian”. FMA maintains
an institutional relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits from Schwab
Please see Item 14 below.
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor
enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and
other services. FMA does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-
dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian. Please see
Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - FMA does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with the
recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where FMA will place trades
within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are traded
within their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any
security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a
security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). When serviced on a client-directed brokerage
basis, FMA may be unable to achieve the most favorable execution of client transactions and clients may incur
higher transaction costs. FMA will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does
not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian.

Page 11
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution,
4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. FMA will execute its transactions through the Custodian as
authorized by the Client. FMA may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or
sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading day. If a block trade cannot be
executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business
day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This
must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any particular Clients’ accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Mr. James Morris, Managing
Partner and Chief Compliance Officer of FMA. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more
frequently depending on the needs of the Client.
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result
of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or
withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify FMA if changes occur in the Client’s
personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews may be
triggered by material market, economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the
Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may also
provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by FMA
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
FMA has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a division
of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like FMA. As a registered investment advisor
participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, FMA receives access to software and related support
without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that maintain assets at
Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor and many, but not all services
provided by Schwab will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put
the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a
custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor’s recommendation of this
custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of
investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through
Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be able
to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds and
other investments without having to adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the Client were to
directly access the investments.

Phone: 781-934-7880 * Fax: 781-934-8220
Page 12
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to technology,
research, discounts and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for Client accounts,
the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back office support services as part of its relationship with
Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for its Clients but may
not directly benefit all Clients.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services and support to FMA that may not
benefit the Client, including educational conferences and events, consulting services, and discounts for various
service providers. Access to these services creates a financial incentive for the Advisor to recommend Schwab, which
results in a conflict of interest. FMA believes, however, that the selection of Schwab as the Custodian is in the best
interests of its Clients.
S.J. Dennen, CPA P.C.
Mr. Morris may recommend that Clients engage a third-party tax and accounting firm, S.J. Dennen, CPA P.C. (“S.J.
Dennen”), for assisting with tax planning and preparation services. The services provided by S.J. Dennen are
separate and distinct from advisory services provided through FMA. This referral presents a conflict of interest
because S.J. Dennen will compensate Mr. Morris a fixed amount on an annual basis for his assistance with
facilitating the tax planning and preparation services provided by S.J. Dennen. The compensation earned by Mr.
Morris is separate and in addition to FMA’s advisory fees. Clients are under no obligation to utilize the tax planning
or preparation services provided S.J. Dennen.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
FMA does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for Client
referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
The Advisor is authorized to deduct its fees from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Client must place all
assets with a “qualified custodian”. The Client is required to engage the Custodian to retain all funds and securities
and direct the Advisor to utilize that Custodian for security transactions in the account[s]. The Client should review
statements provided by the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For more information about
custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
If the Client gives the Advisor authority to move money from one account to another account, the Advisor may have
custody of those assets. In order to avoid additional regulatory requirements, the Custodian and the Advisor have
adopted safeguards to ensure that the money movements are completed in accordance with the Client’s
instructions.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
FMA generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client accounts
without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be subject to
specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to by FMA.
Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of such authority will
be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory agreement containing all applicable limitations to
such authority. All discretionary trades made by FMA will be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives
and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
FMA does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements directly from
the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client retains the
sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.

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

Accredited Investment Fiduciary (“AIF®”)
The AIF® mark is held by the Center for Fiduciary Studies, LLC, a Fiduciary360 (fi360) company.
The professional designations awarded by fi360 demonstrate the focus on all the components of a comprehensive
investment process, related fiduciary standards of care, and commitment to excellence. AIF® designees undergo an
initial training program, annual continuing education, and pledge to abide by the designation's code of ethics.
Since October 2002, the Accredited Investment Fiduciary® (AIF®) designation has been the mark of commitment to
a standard of investment fiduciary excellence. Those who earn the AIF® mark successfully complete a specialized
program on investment fiduciary standards of care and subsequently passed a comprehensive
examination. AIF® designees demonstrate a thorough understanding of fi360's Prudent Practices for investment
advisors and stewards.
Item 3 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, civil or disciplinary events to disclose regarding Mr. Morris. Mr. Morris has never been
involved in any regulatory, civil or criminal action. There have been no client complaints, lawsuits, arbitration claims
or administrative proceedings against Mr. Morris.
Securities laws require an advisor to disclose any instances where the advisor or its advisory persons have been
found liable in a legal, regulatory, civil or arbitration matter that alleges violation of securities and other statutes;
fraud; false statements or omissions; theft, embezzlement or wrongful taking of property; bribery, forgery,
counterfeiting, or extortion; and/or dishonest, unfair or unethical practices. As previously noted, there are no
legal, civil or disciplinary events to disclose regarding Mr. Morris.
However, the Advisor encourages Clients to independently view the background of Mr. Morris on the Investment
Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with his full name or his Individual
CRD# 705495.
Item 4 – Other Business Activities
Insurance Agency Affiliations
As mentioned in Item 5.E, Mr. Morris is also licensed as independent insurance professional. Implementations of
insurance recommendations are separate and apart from one’s role with the Advisor. As an independent insurance
professional, Mr. Morris will earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including
insurance products he sells to Clients. Insurance commissions earned by Mr. Morris are separate and in addition to
FMA’s advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because a person providing investment advice on
behalf of the Advisor who is also an insurance agent has an incentive to recommend insurance products to a Client
for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on Client needs. However, Clients are under
no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through Mr. Morris.
Item 5 – Additional Compensation
Mr. Morris has additional business activities where compensation is received that are detailed in Item 4 above.
Item 6 – Supervision
Mr. Morris serves as the Managing Partner and Chief Compliance Officer of FMA. Mr. Morris can be reached at
781-934-7880.
FMA has implemented a Code of Ethics, an internal compliance document that guides each Supervised Person in
meeting their fiduciary obligations to Clients of FMA. Further, FMA is subject to regulatory oversight by various
agencies. These agencies require registration by FMA and its Supervised Persons. As a registered entity, FMA is
subject to examinations by regulators, which may be announced or unannounced. FMA is required to periodically
update the information provided to these agencies and to provide various reports regarding the business activities
and assets of the Advisor.
