Firm Information ForthRight Wealth Management, LLC (“FRWM” 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 State of Georgia, was founded in 2015. FRWM is owned and operated by TJ Austreng, LLC, which is wholly owned by Anthony J. Austreng, Managing Partner, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer; BP Johnston, LLC, which is wholly owned by Brian P. Johnston, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer; JR Wills, LLC, which is wholly owned by Jeff R. Wills, Managing Partner and Chief Operating Officer; and JJ Ellis, LLC, which is wholly owned by John J. Ellis, Managing Partner and Chief Technology Officer. These individuals are the principal owners of FRWM. This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by FRWM. B. Advisory Services Offered FRWM offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, 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. FRWM’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 FRWM may provide Clients with wealth management services, which generally includes a broad range of comprehensive financial planning and consulting services in connection with discretionary management of investment portfolios. These services may also be offered on a stand-alone basis and are described below. Investment Management Services - FRWM provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary and non-discretionary investment management and related advisory services. As a discretionary investment adviser, FRWM will have the authority to supervise and direct the portfolio without prior consultation with the client. Clients who choose a non-discretionary arrangement must be contacted prior to the execution of any trade in the account(s) under management. This may result in a delay in executing recommended trades, which could adversely affect the performance of the portfolio. This delay also normally means the affected account(s) will not be able to participate in block trades, a practice designed to enhance the execution quality, timing and/or cost for all accounts included in the block. In a non-discretionary arrangement, the client retains the responsibility for the final decision on all actions taken with respect to the portfolio. FRWM works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. FRWM will then construct an investment portfolio, consisting of various investments, including but not limited to mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”); individual stocks, bonds or option contracts. The client’s portfolio will be constructed in an effort to meet the needs of the Client and in an effort to achieve the Client’s investment goals. 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. FRWM will select, recommend and/or retain mutual funds on a fund-by-fund basis. Due to: specific custodial and/or mutual fund company constraints; specific selling agreements between the custodian(s) and the mutual fund and/or ETF – “exchange traded fund” providers; material tax consideration; and/or other factors, FRWM will select, recommend and/or retain certain investments that may carry a higher internal expense than other share classes offered by the investment provider. All investment costs are continuously evaluated and monitored by FRWM and are all disclosed to the client. FRWM will work to select the lowest cost investment options that are ForthRight Wealth Management, LLC 5755 North Point Pkwy, Suite 47, Alpharetta, GA 30022 Phone: (470) 395-4749 * Fax: (877) 303-5507 https://www.forthrightwealthmanagement.com/ Page 4 available to them/their clients with all of the aforementioned factors considered in an effort to keep investment costs low and to work toward achieving the Client’s financial objectives and stated investment guidelines. FRWM’s investment strategy is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. FRWM will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio based on the client’s goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. 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. FRWM evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence process. FRWM may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. FRWM 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. FRWM 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. At no time will FRWM 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. 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 sponsored plan or to roll over the assets to an Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRAs”), 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). In such instances, the Advisor will serve as an investment fiduciary as that term is defined under The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. 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. Use of Independent Managers – FRWM will recommend that Clients utilize one or more unaffiliated investment managers or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio, based on the Client’s needs and objectives. In certain instances, the Client may be required to authorize and enter into an investment management agreement with the Independent Manager[s] that defines the terms in which the Independent Manager[s] will provide its services. The Advisor will perform initial and ongoing oversight and due diligence over each Independent Manager to ensure the strategy remains aligned with Clients investment objectives and overall best interests. The Advisor will also assist the Client in the development of the initial policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. The Client, prior to entering into an agreement with an Independent Manager, will be provided with the Independent Manager's Form ADV Part 2A - Disclosure Brochure (or a brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures). Financial Planning Services – FRWM offers financial planning and consulting services to clients in conjunction with Investment Management Services. FRWM’s financial planning services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals, objectives and financial circumstance and normally address areas such as general cash flow planning, investment planning, retirement planning, insurance analysis, corporate succession and education planning. The goal of this service is to assess the financial circumstances of the client in order to more effectively develop the client’s Investment Plan. Financial Planning is typically not offered as a stand-alone service or for a separate fee but is more often provided in conjunction with the management of the portfolio. 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, ForthRight Wealth Management, LLC 5755 North Point Pkwy, Suite 47, Alpharetta, GA 30022 Phone: (470) 395-4749 * Fax: (877) 303-5507 https://www.forthrightwealthmanagement.com/ Page 5 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. FRWM 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. 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 FRWM 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 – FRWM, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives. • Asset Allocation – FRWM 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 – FRWM will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client. • Investment Management and Supervision – FRWM will provide investment management and ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio. D. Wrap Fee Programs FRWM does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. E. Assets Under Management As of January 31, 2025, FRWM manages $663,769,999 in Client assets, $657,816,580 of which are managed on a discretionary basis and $5,953,419 on a non-discretionary basis. Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor. Item 5 – Fees and Compensation The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into a written agreement with the Advisor. A. Fees for Advisory Services Wealth Management Services / Investment Management Services Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Investment advisory fees are based on the following schedule: ForthRight Wealth Management, LLC 5755 North Point Pkwy, Suite 47, Alpharetta, GA 30022 Phone: (470) 395-4749 * Fax: (877) 303-5507 https://www.forthrightwealthmanagement.com/ Page 6 Annual Rate (%) 0.90% 0.75% 0.50% 0.25% 0.20% 0.15% Assets Under Management ($) $0 to $500,000 $500,001 to $2,000,000 $2,000,001 to $3,000,000 $3,000,001 to $5,000,000 $5,000,001 to $10,000,000 Over to $10,000,000 *For example: Clients with $5,500,000 in assets under management will be charged annually 0.90% on the first $500,000; plus 0.75% on the next $1,500,000; plus 0.50% on the next $1,000,000; plus 0.25% on the next $2,000,000; plus 0.20% on the next $500,000. *Certain legacy clients may be billed under a different fee structure. The investment advisory fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the end of the first quarter. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. The minimum annual fee for any household is $2,500. The advisor may, at its discretion, make exceptions to the foregoing or negotiate special fee arrangements where the Advisor deems it appropriate under the circumstances. Fees are prorated for cash flows exceeding $100,000. If management begins after the start of a quarter, fees will be prorated accordingly. Fees are normally debited directly from client account(s), unless other arrangements are made. All securities held in accounts managed by FRWM will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing. Use of Independent Managers As noted in Item 4, the Advisor may implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio utilizing one or more Independent Managers. To eliminate any conflict of interest, the Advisor does not earn any compensation from an Independent Manager. The Advisor will only earn its investment advisory fee as described above. Independent Managers typically do not offer any fee discounts but may have a breakpoint schedule which will reduce the fee with an increased level of assets placed under management with an Independent Manager. The terms of such fee arrangements are included in the Independent Manager’s disclosure brochure and applicable contract[s] with the Independent Manager. The Independent Manager’s fee will be separate and in addition to the Advisor’s fee. The total blended fee, including the Advisor’s fee and the Independent Manager’s fee, will not exceed 2.00% annually. B. Fee Billing Wealth Management Services / Investment Management Services Investment advisory fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate 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 the days in the quarter) to the total assets under management with FRWM at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the investment advisory fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify the accuracy of these fees as listed on the Custodian’s brokerage statement as the Custodian does not assume this responsibility. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by FRWM to be paid directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian. Use of Independent Managers For Client accounts implemented through an Independent Manager, the Advisor and the Independent Manager will each assume the responsibility for calculating and deducting their respective fees from the Client’s account[s]. C. Other Fees and Expenses Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties in connection with investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. In addition, all fees paid to FRWM for investment advisory 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 ForthRight Wealth Management, LLC 5755 North Point Pkwy, Suite 47, Alpharetta, GA 30022 Phone: (470) 395-4749 * Fax: (877) 303-5507 https://www.forthrightwealthmanagement.com/ Page 7 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 FRWM, but would not receive the services provided by FRWM 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 FRWM to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Additionally, the Advisor will often select share classes which do not have trading costs and may have a higher internal expense ratio than other share classes offered. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information. D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination Wealth Management Services / Investment Management Services FRWM may be compensated for its services in advance of the quarter in which investment advisory 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. The Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid investment advisory 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. Use of Independent Managers In the event that the Advisor has determined that an Independent Manager is no longer in the Client’s best interest or a Client should wish to terminate their relationship with the Independent Manager, the terms for the termination will be set forth in the respective agreements between the Client or the Advisor and the Independent Manager. FRWM will assist the Client with the termination and transition as appropriate. E. Compensation for Sales of Securities FRWM 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. Certain Advisory Persons are also registered representatives of Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments (“PKS”). PKS is a registered broker-dealer (CRD No.35747), member FINRA, SIPC. In one’s separate capacity as a registered representative of PKS the Advisory Person will implement securities transactions under PKS and not through FRWM. In such instances, the Advisory Person will receive commission-based compensation in connection with the purchase and sale of securities, including 12b-1 fees for the sale of investment company products. Compensation earned by the Advisory Person in one’s capacity as a registered representative is separate and in addition to the Advisor’s fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because the Advisory Person who is a registered representative has an incentive to effect securities transactions for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on the Client. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendation provided by the Advisor nor Advisory Persons. Neither the Advisor nor Advisory Persons will earn ongoing investment advisory fees in connection with any products or services implemented in the Advisory Person’s separate capacity as a registered representative. Please see Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations. Certain Advisory Persons are also licensed as independent insurance professionals. These persons will earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance products they sell to Clients. Insurance commissions earned by these persons are separate and in addition to advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice on behalf of the Advisor who are insurance agents have an incentive to recommend insurance products to Clients 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 any person affiliated with the Advisor. Please see Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations. Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management ForthRight Wealth Management, LLC 5755 North Point Pkwy, Suite 47, Alpharetta, GA 30022 Phone: (470) 395-4749 * Fax: (877) 303-5507 https://www.forthrightwealthmanagement.com/ Page 8 FRWM does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by FRWM are as described in Item 5 – Fees and Compensation above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held by any Client. FRWM 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 FRWM offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates charitable organizations, and businesses. FRWM generally does not impose a minimum relationship size however, the Advisor does impose a minimum fee of $2,500 which can be waived at the sole discretion of the Advisor. Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss A. Methods of Analysis In accordance with the Investment Plan, FRWM will primarily invest in mutual funds, ETFs, common stocks and individual bonds, and may recommend or select Separate Account Managers as appropriate. Mutual funds, ETFs and Separate Account Managers are generally evaluated and selected based upon a variety of factors, including, as applicable and without limitation, past performance, fee structure, individual portfolio manager(s), fund family, overall ratings for risk and returns, and other factors. In selecting individual stocks for an account, FRWM generally applies traditional fundamental analysis including, without limitation, the following factors: • Financial strength ratios, • Price-to-earnings ratios, • Dividend yields, and • Growth rate-to-price earnings ratios. FRWM will incorporate other methods of analysis, such as technical analysis, which involves studying past price patterns and trends in the financial markets to predict the duration of the overall market and specific stocks. 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 FRWM will be able to accurately predict such a reoccurrence. Fixed income investments may be used as a strategic investment, as an instrument to fulfill liquidity or income needs in a portfolio, or to add a component of capital preservation. FRWM will generally evaluate and select individual bonds or bond funds based on a number of factors, including, without limitation, rating, yield, and duration. As noted above, FRWM generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their financial goals. FRWM 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, FRWM 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. FRWM 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. ForthRight Wealth Management, LLC 5755 North Point Pkwy, Suite 47, Alpharetta, GA 30022 Phone: (470) 395-4749 * Fax: (877) 303-5507 https://www.forthrightwealthmanagement.com/ Page 9 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 strategy: 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. Bonds 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 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. Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) Investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) involves certain distinct risks in addition to those risks associated with investing in the real estate industry in general. For Example, equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the REITs, while mortgage REITs may be affected by ForthRight Wealth Management, LLC 5755 North Point Pkwy, Suite 47, Alpharetta, GA 30022 Phone: (470) 395-4749 * Fax: (877) 303-5507 https://www.forthrightwealthmanagement.com/ Page 10 the quality of credit extended. REITs are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers and self- liquidation. REITs, especially mortgage REITs, are also subject to interest rate risk (i.e., as interest rates rise, the value of the REIT may decline). 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 FRWM or management persons. FRWM 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 and its 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# 220515. Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Broker-Dealer Affiliation As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are also registered representatives of PKS. PKS is a registered broker-dealer, member FINRA, SIPC. In one’s separate capacity as a registered representative, the Advisory Person will receive commissions for the implementation of recommendations for commissionable transactions. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendation provided by the Advisory Person. Neither the Advisor nor the Advisory Person will earn ongoing investment advisory fees in connection with any services implemented in the Advisory Person’s separate capacity as a registered representative. Insurance Agency Affiliations As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are also licensed insurance professionals. Implementations of insurance recommendations are separate and apart from one’s role with FRWM. As an insurance professional, the Advisory Person will receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the various insurance companies whose products are sold. the Advisory Person 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 products of the insurance companies. Clients are under no obligation to implement any recommendations made by the Advisory Persons or the Advisor. Use of Independent Managers As noted in Item 4, the Advisor may implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio with one or more Independent Managers. The Advisor does not receive any compensation nor does this present a material conflict of interest. The Advisor will only earn its investment advisory fee as described in Item 5.A. Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading A. Code of Ethics FRWM 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 FRWM (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to the Client. FRWM and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of FRWM’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 (470) 395-4749. B. Personal Trading with Material Interest FRWM allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. FRWM does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor does ForthRight Wealth Management, LLC 5755 North Point Pkwy, Suite 47, Alpharetta, GA 30022 Phone: (470) 395-4749 * Fax: (877) 303-5507 https://www.forthrightwealthmanagement.com/ Page 11 not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. FRWM does not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts. C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients FRWM 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 are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must 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 FRWM requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. 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 FRWM 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 afterward. At no time will FRWM, or any Supervised Person of FRWM, transact in any security to the detriment of any Client. Item 12 – Brokerage Practices A. Recommendation of Custodian[s] FRWM 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 FRWM to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement. Further, FRWM does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis. Where FRWM does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the Custodian[s] 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 fee or cost associated with using a custodian not recommended by FRWM. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is not engaged. FRWM 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. FRWM will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Raymond James & Associates, Inc. member New York Stock Exchange/SIPC (“Raymond James”). Raymond James will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian”. FRWM maintains an institutional relationship with Raymond James, whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits from Raymond James. Please see Item 14. As registered representatives of PKS, the Advisor may be limited in using other broker-dealers/custodians as PKS must approve the use of any outside broker-dealer/custodian. 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. FRWM 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. ForthRight Wealth Management, LLC 5755 North Point Pkwy, Suite 47, Alpharetta, GA 30022 Phone: (470) 395-4749 * Fax: (877) 303-5507 https://www.forthrightwealthmanagement.com/ Page 12 2. Brokerage Referrals - FRWM 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 FRWM 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]). FRWM 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. 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. FRWM will execute its transactions through the Custodian as authorized by the Client. FRWM 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 Client accounts. Item 13 – Review of Accounts A. Frequency of Reviews Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by FRWM’s portfolio managers, Anthony J. Austreng, Managing Partner, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer; Brian P. Johnston, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer; Jeff R. Wills, Managing Partner and Chief Operating Officer; John J. Ellis, Managing Partner and Chief Technology Officer. 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 FRWM 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 FRWM FRWM does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker-dealers or any un- related third party. FRWM may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g. attorneys, accountants, estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients. FRWM ForthRight Wealth Management, LLC 5755 North Point Pkwy, Suite 47, Alpharetta, GA 30022 Phone: (470) 395-4749 * Fax: (877) 303-5507 https://www.forthrightwealthmanagement.com/ Page 13 does not make or accept referral fees from other professionals when a prospect or client is referred to them. FRWM may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties. B. Compensation for Client Referrals The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for Client referrals. C. Other Economic Benefits Received As referenced above, FRWM participates in the service program of Raymond James. While there is no direct link between the investment advice FRWM provides and participation in the Raymond James program, FRWM receives certain economic benefits from the Raymond James program. These benefits may include software and other technology that provides access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitates trade execution (and allocation of aggregated orders for multiple client accounts), provides research, pricing information and other market data, facilitates the payment of FRWM’s fees from its clients’ accounts, and assists with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting. Many of these services may be used to service all or a substantial number of FRWM’s accounts, including accounts not held at Raymond James. Raymond James may also make available to FRWM other services intended to help FRWM manage and further develop its business. These services may include consulting, publications and conferences on practice management, information technology, business succession, and marketing. In addition, Raymond James may make available, arrange and/or pay for these types of services to be rendered to FRWM by independent third parties. Raymond James may discount or waive fees it would otherwise charge for some of these services, pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to FRWM, and/or Raymond James may pay for travel expenses relating to participation in such training. Finally, participation in the Raymond James program provides FRWM with access to mutual funds which normally require significantly higher minimum initial investments or are normally available only to institutional investors. The benefits received through participation in the Raymond James program do not necessarily depend upon the proportion of transactions directed to Raymond James. The benefits are received by FRWM, in part because of revenue generated for Raymond James by FRWM’s clients. This relationship between Raymond James and FRWM is beneficial to FRWM, because Raymond James may not assess a fee to FRWM for certain services provided. This creates an incentive for FRWM to continue to recommend Raymond James to its clients. While it may be possible to obtain similar custodial, execution and other services elsewhere at a lower cost, FRWM believes that Raymond James provides an excellent combination of these services. These services are not soft dollar arrangements but are part of the institutional platform offered by Raymond James. Other third-party service providers may provide non-cash benefits to FRWM and/or its employees from time to time. These economic benefits may include, but are not limited to, waivers or reductions of conference registration fees, meals, entertainment and promotional premium items that have nominal value. FRWM believes these economic benefits do not, either individually or collectively, impair FRWM’s independence. Prior to the acceptance of any consideration, employees must obtain authorization and approval from Anthony J. Austreng, Managing Partner, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer.

Clients are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to safeguard their funds and securities and must instruct FRWM to utilize that Custodian for securities transactions on their behalf. Clients are encouraged to review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any reports provided by FRWM to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review. Money Movement Authorization - For instances where Clients authorize FRWM to move funds between their accounts, FRWM and the Custodian have implemented safeguards to ensure that all money movement activities are conducted strictly in accordance with the Client’s documented instructions. Item 16 – Investment Discretion FRWM typically 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 FRWM. 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 FRWM will be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals. Item 17 – Voting Client Securities FRWM 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. Item 18 – Financial Information Neither FRWM, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability of FRWM to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither FRWM, nor any of its Advisory Persons, have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. FRWM is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for services to be performed six months or more in the future.
