Item 4 - Advisory Business
Michael D. George is the principal owner of FPL Capital Management, LLC. Michael George serves
as the president and the senior portfolio manager. Michael George established FPL Capital
Management in 2000. Michael George has more than 20 years of experience working in the
investment advisory services industry.
FPL Capital Management provides investment advisory services to individual clients, trusts,
retirement plans, and business entities. FPL Capital Management, LLC was established in 2000 in
the State of Louisiana. We are a fee-only firm. As of December 31st, 2025, we manage
approximately $789,326,121 in discretionary assets and $293,339,871 in non-discretionary assets
for a total of $1,082,665,992 in assets under management. FPL Capital Management is located in
Metairie, LA.
As a fiduciary, we seek to avoid conflicts of interest which may exist between our firm and clients.
Some unavoidable conflicts may arise. In these rare cases, we seek to keep our clients’ best
interest first, at all times.
Wealth & Asset Management Services
We offer our clients globally diversified customized and model portfolios. Model portfolios were
created utilizing passively and actively managed index funds. We use these model portfolios as
the base if a client would like to customize his or her portfolio.
Clients may impose certain restrictions on investing in certain securities type or types of securities.
FPL Capital Management reserves the right to accept or not to accept these restrictions. If
accepting these restrictions hinders FPL Capital Management from achieving client’s investment
objectives, FPL Capital Management also reserves the right to terminate the client/advisor
relationship.
Financial Planning & Consulting Services
FPL Capital Management, LLC includes financial planning and consulting services as part of the
discretionary Wealth & Asset Management services. However, non-discretionary Asset
Management clients may also access our financial planning and consulting services in a separate
agreement for an additional fee.
Fees charged for financial planning or consulting services are based on the amount of planning or
consulting time involved. It will either be an hourly rate or a quoted flat fee per specific project.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 4
FPL Capital Management, LLC
The arrangement is selected and approved by the planning or consulting client before
engagement.
Our financial planning and consulting services cover the following areas:
Investment Planning
Retirement Planning
Risk Management (Insurance) Planning
Tax Planning
Estate Planning
Periodically, we will retain or have the client retain outside specialists to assist in completing the
project. This includes specialists such as, but not limited to, Certified Public Accountants and
Attorneys. The client will either pay us or pay the specialist directly for the services rendered. The
client has the option of selecting the payment method they prefer.
To better serve our clients, we have established custodial relationships with discount brokers, such
as Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), and Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services (“Fidelity”).
FPL Capital Management does not have custody of the client assets at any point.
To best complement the services we recommend and/or offer, we have built a professional
network of estate and trust attorneys, certified public accountants, and insurance agents who
offer no-load products. Keeping these services separate ensures that there will be no conflict of
interest with respect to the services these professionals offer.
Furthermore, FPL Capital Management also provides investment advisory services to clients as
described in this brochure. As such, a potential conflict of interest exists between the adviser’s
interests and the interests of the client. In any event, the client is under no obligation to act upon
the investment adviser’s recommendation, and if the client elects to act on any of the
recommendations, the client is under no obligation to affect the transactions through the
investment adviser.
Pension Consulting Services
We mainly utilize our passive asset allocation models to provide investment advisory services to
company retirement plans. Our asset allocation models were created utilizing carefully pre-
selected asset classes to maximize returns while maintaining an acceptable level of risk. Asset
classes and allocations used are backed by several years of back-tested research. Participants
selecting asset allocation models may not achieve returns identical to that of Model Portfolios due

to timing of contributions and distributions, advisory fees, timing of the deduction of the advisory
fee, market fluctuations, trading costs, custodian fees, and frequency and precision of rebalancing.
To keep participants informed of their portfolio holdings and activity, Recordkeepers provide
periodic statements. In addition to the Recordkeeper statements, the plan sponsors will also
receive a quarterly monitoring report from us, which includes a summary of funds selected and
the performance of the funds in the plan.
We recognize the importance of an informed and a knowledgeable participant. Once the plan is
placed under our advisory, we will commence the participant enrollment process. We will
schedule an on-site or a virtual meeting. Enrollment process will educate plan participants on our
role in the plan, provide an overview of the capital markets, and elaborate how our asset allocation
models tie into the Modern Portfolio Theory.
Also, all participants will receive a Risk Tolerance Questionnaire that they must complete and sign.
The questionnaire aids us in assessing the amount of risk the participant is willing to accept.
Communication is a very integral part of our services. If participants have questions regarding the
plan or their specific account, they will be able to call or e-mail us any time.
Third-Party Administrators and Recordkeepers play a significant role in our interaction with the
plan sponsor and its participants. We have established relationships several Third-Party
Administrators and Recordkeepers that we feel bring the best value to the plan sponsors. Plan
Sponsors may select one from our Third-Party Administrators or Recordkeepers. Plan Sponsors
may select a TPA they prefer. With our open architecture platform, we can work with any Third-
Party Administrator.
Tailoring of Advisory Services
FPL Capital Management offers individualized investment advice to our Wealth & Asset
Management clients. General investment advice will be offered to our Financial Planning &
Consulting and Retirement Plan Consulting clients.
Wrap Fee Programs

Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
The specific manner in which fees are charged by FPL Capital Management is established in a
client’s written agreement with FPL Capital Management. FPL Capital Management will generally
bill its fees on a quarterly basis. Clients are billed in arrears at the end of the calendar quarter.
Unless otherwise noted in writing, our firm bills on cash. The management fee is deducted from
the client specified brokerage account. Management fees shall be prorated. Accounts initiated or
terminated during a calendar year will be charged a prorated fee. Upon termination of any client
relationship, all earned and unpaid fees will be due and payable. Some fees are negotiable. Lower
fees for comparable services may be available from other sources.

1. For Wealth & Asset Management services, we charge an annual fee that ranges between
$5,000 and $15,000. In certain situations, if applicable, we will charge 0.70% of assets
under management until annual fee reaches max annual fee set for the level of service
selected but not to exceed $15,000.
2. Additionally, our financial planning and consulting service rate is $250 per hour. This fee
applies to all non-discretionary Asset Management clients, who are not included in our
portfolio management programs. Our financial planning and consulting service is included
for no additional fee for all discretionary Wealth & Asset Management clients.
3. We provide our clients with portfolio reporting on accounts we manage. For accounts that
we do not manage, we are willing to provide portfolio reporting for an additional fee. This
fee is a flat annual fee. The fee will depend on the number of accounts, transactions, and
the types of securities.

annual fee of $1,000 per Plan Participant. Our minimum annual fee for this type of

FPL Capital Management’s fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and
other related costs and expenses which may be incurred by the client. Depending on the security,
client can incur transaction fees for trades executed by their chosen custodian via individual
transaction charges. These transaction fees are separate from FPL Capital Management’s advisory
fees and will be disclosed by the chosen custodian. Schwab does not charge transaction fees for
U.S. listed equities and exchange traded funds. Fidelity eliminated transaction fees for U.S. listed
equities and exchange traded funds for clients who opt into electronic delivery of statements or
maintain at least $1 million in assets at Fidelity. Clients who do not meet either criteria will be
subject to transaction fees charged by Fidelity for U.S. listed equities and exchange traded funds.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 8
FPL Capital Management, LLC
Clients may also incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, third-party investment and
other third parties such as fees charged by managers, custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-
lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on
brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also
charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. Such charges, fees
and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to FPL Capital Management’s fee, and FPL Capital
Management shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Item 12 further describes the factors that FPL Capital Management considers in selecting or
recommending broker-dealers for client transactions and determining the reasonableness of their
compensation (e.g., commissions). FPL Capital Management and its representatives do not sell
securities for a commission in advisory accounts.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
FPL Capital Management does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of
capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client).
Item 7 – Types of Clients
FPL Capital Management provides portfolio management services to individuals, high-net-worth
individuals, corporate pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, and business entities. Our
minimum account size is $500,000. The client may aggregate household accounts to satisfy the
required minimum. In some instances, we may reduce or waive the minimum for certain clients.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
We take a fundamental approach to analyzing securities. When analyzing mutual funds and ETF’s,
FPL Capital Management may use various sources of information, including data provided by
YCharts, Morningstar, FastTrack, Fi360, fund company resources, and other online and
subscription resources. We also consider the following factors when selecting securities:
Investment objective;
Past performance;
Underlying assets;
Manager tenure;
Market cap;
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure

Dividend payments;
Consecutive annual dividend increases;
Earnings.
Investment Strategies
FPL Capital Management applies a passive investment strategy when investing client assets. We
believe in investing in globally diversified portfolios while maintaining long-term investment
horizons.
By holding an array of equity asset classes across domestic, international, and emerging markets,
investors can reduce the impact of underperformance in a single market or region of the world.
Although markets may experience varying levels of return correlation, this diversification can
further reduce volatility in a portfolio, which translates into higher compounded returns over time.
Portfolio design advice we provide is based on long-term buy and hold investment strategies which
incorporate principles of Modern Portfolio Theory. The aim of a well-constructed portfolio is to
build a long-term design that reflects individual client’s goals, timeline, and financial situation.
Thus, each portfolio design begins with a comprehensive overview of each client’s unique
life/financial situation and risk tolerance.
Risk of Loss
Before investing, each client should carefully consider risks involved in investing in the capital
markets. The client should be prepared to experience volatility and fluctuations in portfolio value.
Securities investments are not guaranteed, and you may lose value in your investments.
There are other principal risks involved when investing. They are as follows:
Market Risk – Even a long-term investment approach cannot guarantee a profit. Economic,
political, and issuer-specific events will cause the value of securities to rise or fall.
Value Investment Risk – Value stocks may perform differently from the market as a whole and
following a value-oriented strategy may cause the portfolio to at times underperform equity funds
that use other investment strategies.
Small Company Risk – Securities of small companies are often less liquid than those of large
companies and this could make it difficult to sell a small company security at a desired time or
price. As a result, small company stocks may fluctuate relatively more in price. In general, small
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 10
FPL Capital Management, LLC
capitalization companies are also more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or
economic developments, and they may have limited resources.
Risks of Concentrating in the Real Estate Industry – The value of securities in the real estate
industry can be affected by changes in real estate values and rental income, property taxes,
interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements. Investing in REIT’s and REIT-like entities
involves certain unique risks in addition to those risks associated with investing in the real estate
industry in general. REIT’s and REIT-like entities are dependent upon management skill, may not
be diversified, and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency and self-liquidation. REIT’s and
REIT-like are also subject to the possibility of failing to qualify for tax free pass-through of income.
Foreign Securities and Currencies Risk – Foreign securities prices may decline or fluctuate because
of: (a) economic or political actions of foreign governments, and/or (b) less regulated or liquid
securities markets. Investors holding these securities are also exposed to foreign currency risk
(the possibility that foreign currency will fluctuate in value against the U.S. dollar).
Emerging Markets Risk – Numerous emerging markets countries have a history of, and continue
to experience serious, and potentially continuing, economic and political problems. Stock markets
in many emerging market countries are relatively small, expensive to trade in and risky. Foreigners
are often limited in their ability to invest in, and withdraw assets from, these markets. Additional
restrictions may be imposed under other conditions.
Interest Risk – Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk because the prices of fixed
income securities tend to move in the opposite direction of interest rates. When interest rate rise,
fixed income security prices fall. When interest rates fall, fixed income security prices rise. In
general, fixed income securities with longer maturities are more sensitive to these price changes.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of FPL Capital Management or the
integrity of FPL Capital’s management. FPL Capital Management has no information applicable to
this Item.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
FPL Capital Management does not have any arrangements or relationships with broker-dealers,
mutual funds, or other investment advisers that may create any material conflict of interest for
FPL Capital Management in providing our clients with investment advice.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure

Item 11 – Code of Ethics
FPL Capital Management has adopted a Code of Ethics for all supervised persons of the firm
describing its high standard of business conduct, and fiduciary duty to its clients. The Code of Ethics
includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information, a prohibition on insider
trading, a prohibition of rumor mongering, restrictions on the acceptance of significant gifts and
the reporting of certain gifts and business entertainment items, and personal securities trading
procedures, among other things. All supervised persons at FPL Capital Management must
amended.
the Code of Ethics

annually, or
as
FPL Capital Management anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’
investment objectives, it will cause accounts over which FPL Capital Management has
management authority to effect, and will recommend to investment advisory clients or
prospective clients, the purchase or sale of securities in which FPL Capital Management, its
affiliates and/or clients, directly or indirectly, have a position of interest. FPL Capital
Management’s employees and persons associated with FPL Capital Management are required to
follow FPL Capital Management’s Code of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable
laws, officers, directors and employees of FPL Capital Management and its affiliates may trade for
their own accounts in securities which are recommended to and/or purchased for FPL Capital
Management’s clients. The Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities
transactions, activities, and interests of the employees of FPL Capital Management will not
interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii) implementing
such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts.
Under the Code certain classes of securities have been designated as exempt transactions, based
upon a determination that these would materially not interfere with the best interest of FPL
Capital Management’s clients. In addition, the Code requires pre-clearance of many transactions,
and restricts trading in close proximity to client trading activity. Nonetheless, because the Code
of Ethics in some circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same securities as clients,
there is a possibility that employees might benefit from market activity by a client in a security
held by an employee. Employee trading is continually monitored under the Code of Ethics, and to
reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between FPL Capital Management and its clients.
Certain affiliated accounts may trade in the same securities with client accounts on an aggregated
basis when consistent with FPL Capital Management's obligation of best execution. In such
circumstances, the affiliated and client accounts will share commission costs equally and receive
securities at a total average price. FPL Capital Management will retain records of the trade order
(specifying each participating account) and its allocation, which will be completed prior to the
entry of the aggregated order. Completed orders will be allocated as specified in the initial trade
order. Partially filled orders will be allocated on a pro rata basis. Any exceptions will be
explained on the Order.
FPL Capital Management’s clients or prospective clients may request a copy of the firm's Code of
Ethics by contacting Virajith Wijeweera.

Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
FPL Capital Management recommends that all investment management accounts be maintained
at brokers, such as Schwab and/or Fidelity.
FPL Capital Management will be granted written discretionary authority with respect to securities
purchased, the value of securities to be bought or sold, the broker or dealer to be used, and the
commission rates paid. The Investment Management Services Agreement will define any
limitations to FPL Capital Management’s discretionary authority.
FPL Capital Management will utilize Schwab or Fidelity to execute its client transactions. Factors
considered by FPL Capital Management for the selection of a broker-dealer include the broker's
ability to provide professional services, competitive commission rates, and other services, which
will help FPL Capital Management provide portfolio management services to its clients.
Schwab and Fidelity may charge brokerage commissions for executing securities transactions. FPL
Capital Management does not receive any compensation for these separate charges.
Schwab recently eliminated transaction fees for U.S. listed equities and exchange traded funds.
Fidelity recently eliminated transaction fees for U.S. listed equities and exchange traded funds for
clients who opt into electronic delivery of statements or maintain at least $1 million in assets at
Fidelity.
Soft Dollars
FPL Capital Management does not receive soft dollars in excess of what is allowed by Section 28(e)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The safe harbor research products and services obtained
by FPL Capital Management will generally be used to service all our clients but not necessarily all
at any one particular time.
Client Brokerage Commissions
Neither Schwab nor Fidelity make client brokerage commissions generated by client transactions
available for FPL Capital Management’s use.
Client Transaction in Return for Soft Dollars
FPL Capital Management does not direct client transactions to a particular broker-dealer in return
for soft dollar benefits.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 13
FPL Capital Management, LLC
Brokerage for Client Referrals
FPL Capital Management does not receive brokerage for client referrals.
Directed Brokerage
In certain instances, clients may seek to limit or restrict our discretionary authority in making the
determination of the brokers with whom orders for the purchase or sale of securities are placed
for execution, and the commission rates at which such securities transactions are affected. Clients
may seek to limit our authority in this area by directing that transactions (or some specified
percentage of transactions) be executed through specified brokers in return for portfolio
evaluation or other services deemed by the client to be of value. Any such client direction must be
in writing (often through our advisory agreement) and may contain a representation from the
client that the arrangement is permissible under its governing laws and documents if this is
relevant.
FPL Capital Management provides appropriate disclosure in writing to clients who direct trades to
particular brokers, that with respect to their directed trades, they will be treated as if they have
retained the investment discretion that we otherwise would have in selecting brokers to effect
transactions and in negotiating commissions and that such direction may adversely affect our
ability to obtain best price and execution. In addition, FPL Capital Management will inform clients
in writing that the trade orders may not be aggregated with other clients’ orders and that direction
of brokerage may hinder best execution.
Special Consideration for ERISA Clients
A retirement or ERISA plan client may direct all or part of portfolio transactions for its account
through a specific broker or dealer to obtain goods or services on behalf of the plan. Such direction
is permitted provided that the goods and services provided are reasonable expenses of the plan
incurred in the ordinary course of its business for which it otherwise would be obligated and
empowered to pay. ERISA prohibits directed brokerage arrangements when the goods or services
purchased are not for the exclusive benefit of the plan. Consequently, our firm will request that
plan sponsors who direct plan brokerage provide us with a letter documenting that this
arrangement will be for the exclusive benefit of the plan.
Client-Directed Brokerage
FPL Capital Management does not allow client-directed brokerage outside our recommendations.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure

Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Accounts are reviewed on at least a quartlery basis by the senior portfolio manager of FPL Capital
Management, Michael George, or a designated associated person. Periodically, a more frequent
review may be required due to a client’s request, a change in the client's financial situation or a
change in asset allocation, and market conditions.
No less than annually, FPL Capital Management will conduct a review of each account to review
performance, portfolio allocation, reallocation of assets, and client consultation.
Clients receive transaction confirmations on all transactions in their account on a trade-by-trade
basis. Depending on account activity, client receives a monthly or quarterly statements from the
custodian that documents positions, balances, account activity, and current market value. FPL
Capital Management also provides quarterly reports detailing performance of the account,
positions and activity.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Client Referrals
FPL Capital Management occasionally receives client referrals. The referrals come from current
clients, accountants, physicians, attorneys, and personal contacts. FPL Capital Management does
not compensate any individual or entity for client referrals.
FPL Capital Management refers clients or prospective clients to other unaffiliated professionals for
estate and trust planning, and accounting needs.
Other Compensations
FPL Capital Management does not receive other types of compensation. FPL Capital is entirely
fee-only and is only compensated by the advisory fees charged to client.
Item 15 – Custody
Deduction of Advisory Fees
While FPL Capital Management does not maintain physical custody of client assets (which are
maintained by a qualified custodian, as discussed above), we are deemed to have custody of
certain client assets if given the authority to withdraw assets from client accounts, as further
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 15
FPL Capital Management, LLC
described below under “Third Party Money Movement.” All our clients receive account statements
directly from their qualified custodian(s) at least quarterly upon opening of an account. We urge
our clients to carefully review these statements. Additionally, if FPL Capital Management decides
to send its own account statements to clients, such statements will include a legend that
recommends the client compare the account statements received from the qualified custodian
with those received from us. Clients are encouraged to raise any questions with us about the
custody, safety or security of their assets and our custodial recommendations.
Third-Party Money Movement
On February 21, 2017, the SEC issued a no-action letter (“Letter”) with respect to Rule 206(4) -2
(“Custody Rule”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”). The letter provided
guidance on the Custody Rule as well as clarified that an adviser who has the power to disburse
client funds to a third party under a standing letter of instruction (“SLOA”) is deemed to have
custody. As such, our firm has adopted the following safeguards in conjunction with our
recommended custodians:
The client provides instructions to the qualified custodian, in writing, which includes the
client’s signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or the third
party’s account number at a custodian to which the transfer should be directed.
The client authorizes the investment adviser, in writing, either on the qualified custodian’s
form or separately, to direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or
from time to time.
The client’s qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction, such
as a signature review or other method to verify the client’s authorization and provides a
transfer of funds notice to the client promptly after each transfer.
The client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the client’s qualified
custodian.
The investment adviser has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of
the third party, the address, or any other information about the third party contained in
the client’s instruction.
The investment adviser maintains records showing that the third party is not a related
party of the investment adviser or located at the same address as the investment adviser.
The client’s qualified custodian sends the client, in writing, an initial notice confirming the
instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure

FPL Capital Management, LLC
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
FPL Capital Management mostly receives discretionary authority from the client at the outset of
an advisory relationship to select the identity and value of securities to be bought or sold. In all
cases, however, such discretion is to be exercised in a manner consistent with the stated
investment objectives for the particular client account. When selecting securities and determining
values, FPL Capital Management observes investment policies, limitations, and restrictions of the
clients for whom it advises.
FPL Capital Management utilizes both discretionary and non-discretionary management options
over client accounts.
Under the discretionary management option, at the outset of an advisory relationship with FPL
Capital Management, the client agrees to an investment policy statement. Then, FPL Capital
Management may place trades in the account without receiving client approval.
Under the non-discretionary management option, at the outset of an advisory relationship with
FPL Capital Management, the client agrees to an investment policy statement. Then, FPL Capital
Management places trades in the account only with prior client approval.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
FPL Capital Management does have authority to and does vote proxies on behalf of advisory
clients. However, a client who wishes to vote on his or her own proxies may do so by sending a
written request to our office. FPL Capital Management also may provide advice to clients
regarding the clients’ voting of proxies.
In general, we will determine how to vote proxies based on our reasonable judgment of that vote
most likely to produce favorable financial results for our clients. Proxy votes generally will be cast
in favor of proposals that maintain or strengthen the shared interests of shareholders and
