Item 4: Advisory Business
A. Description of the Advisory Firm
The firm is a limited liability company organized in the State of New Jersey. The
inception date of the firm was April 14, 2009 and the firm became approved in August of
2009; the principal owner is Mark Stuart Friedenthal.
B. Types of Advisory Services
Friedenthal Financial, LLC (hereinafter “FF”) offers the following services to advisory
clients:
Investment Supervisory Services
FF offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals,
objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. FF creates an Investment
Policy Statement for each client, which outlines the client’s current situation (income, tax
levels, and risk tolerance levels) and then constructs a plan (the Investment Policy
Statement) to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches each client’s specific situation.
Investment Supervisory Services include, but are not limited to, the following:
•
•
•
Investment strategy •
•
Asset allocation
•
Risk tolerance
Personal investment policy
Asset selection
Regular portfolio monitoring
FF evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance
levels and time horizon. Risk tolerance levels are documented in the Investment Policy
Statement, which is given to each client. FF offers two strategies for investment
supervisory services: Strategic Asset Allocation (static) and Tactical Asset Allocation
(dynamic).
Financial Planning and Consulting
FF provides a variety of Financial Planning and Consulting services which may include
but are not limited to Portfolio Reviews, Comprehensive Risk Tolerance Assessment,
Evaluation of Financial Longevity, Retirement Readiness, Participant Directed
401(k)/403(b) Portfolio Review, Retirement Plan level Advisory Consulting, and other ad-
hoc projects.
These services are billed per project or on an hourly basis, as negotiated and agreed with
client. The fee structure is documented in the Financial Consulting Services Agreement
and paid in arrears by client.
5
Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments
insurance products
FF limits its investment advice and money management to mutual funds, equities, bonds,
fixed income, debt securities, ETFs, real estate, hedge funds, third party money managers,
REITs,
including annuities, private placements, government
securities, and options. FF may use other securities as well to help diversify a portfolio
when applicable.
C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
FF offers the same suite of services to all of its clients. However, specific client financial plans
and their implementation are dependent upon the client Investment Policy Statement which
outlines each client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels) and is
used to construct a client specific plan to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches
restrictions, needs, and targets.
Clients may not impose restrictions in investing in certain securities or types of securities in
accordance with their values or beliefs.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
FF does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
E. Amounts Under Management
FF has the following assets under management:
Discretionary Amounts:
Non-discretionary Amounts:
Date Calculated:
$ 75,960.00

Item 5: Fees and Compensation
A. Fee Schedule
Clients should be advised that lower fees for comparable services may be available from
other sources.
Investment Supervisory Services Fees

FF offers two investment management services: Strategic Asset Allocation and Tactical
Asset Allocation. Strategic Asset Allocation is a static (constant target) asset allocation,
often called a “Buy, Hold, and Rebalance” portfolio. Tactical Asset Allocation is a
dynamic asset allocation that shifts assets between different classes, geographies, and
industries as market trends and conditions change.
Strategic Asset Allocation (buy/hold/rebalance) Fee Schedule:
Total Assets Under Management
Annual Fee
First $1,000,000
0.90%
Next $2,000,000
0.60%
Next $2,000,000

Above $5,000,000

Tactical Asset Allocation Fee Schedule:

Next $2,000,000
0.80%
Next $2,000,000
0.50%
Above $5,000,000
0.20%
The fee schedule is attached as Exhibit B of the Investment Advisory Contract. Fees are paid
quarterly in arrears, based on the average daily balance during the period, and clients may
terminate their contracts with written notice. Because fees are charged in arrears, no refund
policy is necessary. Clients may terminate their accounts without penalty within 5 business
days of signing the advisory contract. Advisory fees are withdrawn directly from the client’s
accounts with client written authorization.
Because client fees will be withdrawn directly from client accounts, this advisor must:
(A) Possess written authorization from the client to deduct advisory fees from an account
held by a qualified custodian.
(B) Send the qualified custodian written notice of the amount of the fee to be deducted from
the client’s account.
(C) Send the client a written invoice itemizing the fee prior to fee deduction, including any
formulae used to calculate the fee, the time period covered by the fee and the amount of
assets under management on which the fee was based.
Financial Planning and Consulting Fees
The fees for these services generally range from $150 to $500 per hour. They may be negotiated
as a fixed cost per project. All fees are documented in the Financial Consulting Engagement
Letter and billed in arrears.
7
B. Payment of Fees
Payment of Investment Supervisory Fees
Advisory fees are withdrawn directly from the client’s accounts with client written
authorization. Fees are paid quarterly in arrears.
C. Clients Are Responsible for Third Party Fees
Clients are responsible for the payment of all third-party fees (i.e. brokerage fees, custodian fees,
mutual fund fees, transaction fee etc.). Those fees are separate and distinct from the fees and
expenses charged by FF. Please see Item 12 of this brochure regarding broker/custodian.
D. Prepayment of Fees
Investment Supervisory Fees are collected in arrears.
Fixed fees that are collected in advance will be refunded based on the prorated amount of work
completed at the point of termination.
E. Outside Compensation for the Sale of Securities to Clients
Neither FF nor its supervised persons accept any compensation for the sale of securities or other
investment products, including asset-based sales charges or services fees from the sale of mutual
funds.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
FF does not accept performance-based fees or other fees based on a share of capital gains on or
capital appreciation of the assets of a client.
Item 7: Types of Clients
FF generally provides investment advice and management supervisory services to the following
Types of Clients:
❖ Individuals
❖ High-Net-Worth Individuals
❖ Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans
❖ Charitable organizations
❖ Corporations
8
Minimum Account Size
There is an account minimum of $250,000 which may be waived by the investment
advisor, based on the needs of the client and the complexity of the situation.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of
Investment Loss
A. Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
FF’s methods of analysis include charting analysis, fundamental analysis, technical
analysis, and cyclical analysis.
Charting analysis involves the use of patterns in performance charts. FF uses this
technique to search for patterns used to help predict favorable conditions for buying
and/or selling a security.
Fundamental analysis involves the analysis of financial statements, the general financial
health of companies, and/or the analysis of management or competitive advantages.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data; primarily price and
volume.
Cyclical analysis involved the analysis of business cycles to find favorable conditions for
buying and/or selling a security.
Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared
to bear.
B. Material Risks Involved
Methods of Analysis
Charting analysis strategy involves using and comparing various charts to predict long
and short-term performance or market trends. The risk involved in solely using this
method is that only past performance data is considered without using other methods to
crosscheck data. Using charting analysis without other methods of analysis would be
making the assumption that past performance will be indicative of future performance.
This may not be the case.
Fundamental analysis concentrates on factors that determine a company’s value and
expected future earnings. This strategy would normally encourage equity purchases in
stocks that are undervalued or priced below their perceived value. The risk assumed is that
the market will fail to reach expectations of perceived value.
Technical analysis attempts to predict a future stock price or direction based on market
trends. The assumption is that the market follows discernible patterns and if these patterns
can be identified then a prediction can be made. The risk is that markets do not always
follow patterns and relying solely on this method may not work long term.
Cyclical analysis assumes that the markets react in cyclical patterns which, once identified,
9
can be leveraged to provide performance. The risks with this strategy are two-fold: 1)
the markets do not always repeat cyclical patterns and 2) if too many investors begin
to implement this strategy, it changes the very cycles they are trying to take advantage of.
Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to
bear.
C. Risks of Specific Securities Utilized
FF generally seeks investment strategies that do not involve significant or unusual risk
beyond that of the general domestic and/or international equity markets. However, it will
utilize short sales, margin transactions, and options writing. Short sales, margin
transactions, and options writing generally hold greater risk of capital loss and clients
should be aware that there is a material risk of loss using any of those strategies.
Mutual Funds: Investing in mutual funds carries the risk of capital loss. Mutual funds are
not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. You can lose
money investing in mutual funds. All mutual funds have costs that lower investment
returns. They can be of bond “fixed income” nature (lower risk) or stock “equity” nature
(mentioned above).
Equity investment generally refers to buying shares of stocks by an individual or firms in
return for receiving a future payment of dividends and capital gains if the value of the stock
increases. There is an innate risk involved when purchasing a stock that it may decrease
in value and the investment may incur a loss.
Treasury Inflation Protected/Inflation Linked Bonds: The Risk of default on these bonds
is dependent upon the U.S. Treasury defaulting (extremely unlikely); however, they carry
a potential risk of losing share price value, albeit rather minimal.
Fixed Income is an investment that guarantees fixed periodic payments in the future that
may involve economic risks such as inflationary risk, interest rate risk, default risk,
repayment of principal risk, etc.
Debt securities carry risks such as the possibility of default on the principal, fluctuation in
interest rates, and counterparties being unable to meet obligations.
Stocks & Exchange Traded Funds (ETF): Investing in stocks & ETF's carries the risk of
capital loss (sometimes up to a 100% loss in the case of a stock holding bankruptcy).
Investments in these securities are not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any other
government agency.
Real Estate funds face several kinds of risk that are inherent in this sector of the market.
Liquidity risk, market risk and interest rate risk are just some of the factors that can
influence the gain or loss that is passed on to the investor. Liquidity and market risk
tend to have a greater effect on funds that are more growth-oriented, as the sale of
appreciated properties depends upon market demand. Conversely, interest rate risk
impacts the amount of dividend income that is paid by income-oriented funds.
10
Hedge Funds are not suitable for all investors and involve a high degree of risk due to
several factors that may contribute to above average gains or significant losses. Such
factors include leveraging or other speculative investment practices, commodity trading,
complex tax structures, a lack of transparency in the underlying investments, and generally
the absence of a secondary market.
REITs have specific risks including valuation due to cash flows, dividends paid in stock
rather than cash, and the payment of debt resulting in dilution of shares.
Private placements carry a substantial risk as they are largely unregulated offerings not
subject to securities laws.
Long term trading is designed to capture market rates of both return and risk. Due to its
nature, the long-term investment strategy can expose clients to various other types of risk
that will typically surface at various intervals during the time the client owns the
investments. These risks include but are not limited to inflation (purchasing power) risk,
interest rate risk, economic risk, market risk, and political/regulatory risk.
Short term trading risks include liquidity, economic stability and inflation.
Short sales risks include the upward trend of the market and the infinite possibility of
loss.
Margin transactions use leverage that is borrowed from a brokerage firm as collateral.
Options writing involve a contract to purchase a security at a given price, not
necessarily at market value, depending on the market.
Options are contracts to purchase a security at a given price, risking that an option may
expire out of the money resulting in minimal or no value. An uncovered option is a
type of options contract that is not backed by an offsetting position that would help
mitigate risk. The risk for a “naked” or uncovered put is not unlimited, whereas the
potential loss for an uncovered call option is limitless. Spread option positions entail
buying and selling multiple options on the same underlying security, but with different
strike prices or expiration dates, which helps limit the risk of other option trading
strategies. Option writing also involves risks including but not limited to economic
risk, market risk, sector risk, idiosyncratic risk, political/regulatory risk, inflation
(purchasing power) risk and interest rate risk.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities involves
a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
There are no legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client’s or prospective client’s
evaluation of this advisory business or the integrity of our management.
11
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
A. Registration as a Broker/Dealer or Broker/Dealer Representative
Neither FF nor its representatives are registered as a broker/dealer or as representatives
of a broker/dealer.
B. Registration as a Futures Commission Merchant, Commodity
Pool Operator, or a Commodity Trading Advisor
Neither FF nor its representatives are registered as a FCM, CPO, or CTA.
C. Registration Relationships Material to this Advisory Business
and Possible Conflicts of Interests
Neither FF nor its representatives have any material relationships to this advisory
business that would present a possible conflict of interest.
D. Selection of Other Advisors or Managers and How This Adviser
is Compensated for Those Selections
FF does not utilize nor select other advisors or third- p a r t y managers. All assets
are managed by FF management.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
We have a written Code of Ethics that covers the following areas: Prohibited Purchases
and Sales, Insider Trading, Personal Securities Transactions, Exempted Transactions,
Prohibited Activities, Conflicts of Interest, Gifts and Entertainment, Confidentiality,
Service on a Board of Directors, Compliance Procedures, Compliance with Laws and
Regulations, Procedures and Reporting, Certification of Compliance, Reporting
Violations, Compliance Officer Duties, Training and Education, Recordkeeping, Annual
Review, and Sanctions. Clients or prospective clients may request a copy of our Code of
Ethics from management.
B. Recommendations Involving Material Financial Interests
FF does not recommend that clients buy or sell any security in which a related person to
FF has a material financial interest.
12
C. Investing Personal Money in the Same Securities as Clients
Representatives of FF may buy or sell securities for themselves that they also
recommend to clients. FF will always document any transactions that could be
construed as conflicts of interest.
D. Trading Securities At/Around the Same Time as Clients’
Securities
Representatives of FF routinely trade the exact same securities at the same time and
price as clients. FF will always act in the best interest of the client.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
A. Factors Used to Select Custodians and/or Broker/Dealers
The Custodian, Schwab Institutional, is a division of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., was
chosen based on their relatively low transaction fees and access to mutual funds and
ETFs as well as industry reputation. FF will never charge a premium or commission on
transactions, beyond the actual cost imposed by Custodian.
1. Research and Other Soft-Dollar Benefits
As a result of having assets custodied at Charles Schwab, Schwab makes available some
basic market research and data via its advisor portal.
2. Brokerage for Client Referrals
FF receives no referrals from a broker-dealer or third party in exchange for using
that broker-dealer or third party.
3. Clients Directing Which Broker/Dealer/Custodian to Use
FF will not allow clients to direct FF to use a specific broker-dealer to execute
transactions. Clients must use FF recommended custodian (broker-dealer). Not all
investment advisers require their clients to direct brokerage. By requiring clients to
use our specific custodian, FF may be unable to achieve most favorable execution of
client transaction and that this may cost clients’ money over using a lower-cost
custodian.
B. Aggregating (Block) Trading for Multiple Client Accounts
FF maintains the ability to block trade purchases across accounts. While block
trading may benefit clients by purchasing larger blocks in groups, we do not feel that
13
the clients are at a disadvantage due to the best execution practices of our custodian.
Item 13: Reviews of Accounts
A. Frequency and Nature of Periodic Reviews and Who Makes
Those Reviews
Client accounts are reviewed at least quarterly by a member of the Portfolio Management
team. The Portfolio Management Team is instructed to review clients’ accounts with
regards to their investment policies and risk tolerance levels. All accounts at FF are
assigned to the members of this team.
B. Factors That Will Trigger a Non-Periodic Review of Client
Accounts
Reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events, or by
changes in client's financial situations (such as retirement, termination of employment,
physical move, or inheritance).
C. Content and Frequency of Regular Reports Provided to Clients
Each client will receive at least quarterly a written report detailing the clients account
performance, which will come from the custodian.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Economic Benefits Provided by Third Parties for Advice
Rendered to Clients (Includes Sales Awards or Other Prizes)
FF does not receive any economic benefit, directly or indirectly from any third party for
advice rendered to FF clients.
B. Compensation to Non –Advisory Personnel for Client Referrals
FF may, via written arrangement, retain third parties to act as individuals to be
compensated for client referrals for FF’s investment management services. All
compensation with respect to the foregoing will be fully disclosed to each client to the
extent required by applicable law. FF will ensure each individual to be compensated for
client referrals is properly registered in all appropriate jurisdictions.
14
Item 15: Custody
FF, with client written authority, has limited custody of client’s assets through direct fee
deduction of FF’s Fees only. If the client chooses to be billed directly by Charles Schwab& Co.,
Inc., FF would have constructive custody over that account and must have written authorization
from the client to do so. Clients will receive all required account statements and billing invoices
from the custodian, that are required in each jurisdiction, and they should carefully review
those statements for accuracy.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
For those client accounts where FF provides ongoing supervision, the client has given FF written
discretionary authority over the client’s accounts with respect to securities to be bought or sold
and the number of securities to be bought or sold. Details of this relationship are fully disclosed
to the client before any advisory relationship has commenced. The client provides FF
discretionary authority via a limited power of attorney that the client must review and execute
in the Investment Advisory Contract and in the contract between the client and the custodian.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities (Proxy Voting)
FF will not ask for, nor accept voting authority for client securities. Clients will receive proxies
directly from the issuer of the security or the custodian. Clients should direct all proxy questions
to the issuer of the security.
Item 18: Financial Information
A. Balance Sheet
FF does not require nor solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six
months or more in advance and therefore does not need to include a balance sheet with
this brochure.
B. Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Ability to
Meet Contractual Commitments to Clients
Neither FF nor its management have any financial conditions that are likely to reasonably
impair our ability to meet contractual commitments to clients.
C. Bankruptcy Petitions in Previous Ten Years
Neither FF nor its management has been the subject of a bankruptcy petition in the last
ten years.

Designations:
CFA – Chartered Financial Analyst
The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charter is a globally respected, graduate-level investment credential
established in 1962 and awarded by CFA Institute - the largest global association of investment professionals.
There are currently more than 90,000 CFA charterholders working in 134 countries. To earn the CFA charter,
candidates must: 1) pass three sequential, six-hour examinations; 2) have at least four years of qualified
professional investment experience; 3) join CFA Institute as members; and 4) commit to abide by, and annually
reaffirm, their adherence to the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct.
High Ethical Standards
The CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct, enforced through an active
professional conduct program, require CFA charterholders to:
• Place their clients' interests ahead of their own
• Maintain independence and objectivity
• Act with integrity
• Maintain and improve their professional competence
• Disclose conflicts of interest and legal matters
Global Recognition
Passing the three CFA exams is a difficult feat that requires extensive study (successful candidates report
spending an average of 300 hours of study per level). Earning the CFA charter demonstrates mastery of many
of the advanced skills needed for investment analysis and decision making in today's quickly evolving global
financial industry. As a result, employers and clients are increasingly seeking CFA charterholders-often making
the charter a prerequisite for employment.
Additionally, regulatory bodies in 22 countries and territories recognize the CFA charter as a proxy for meeting
certain licensing requirements, and more than 125 colleges and universities around the world have
incorporated a majority of the CFA Program curriculum into their own finance courses.
20
Comprehensive and Current Knowledge
The CFA Program curriculum provides a comprehensive framework of knowledge for investment decision
making and is firmly grounded in the knowledge and skills used every day in the investment profession. The
three levels of the CFA Program test a proficiency with a wide range of fundamental and advanced investment
topics, including ethical and professional standards, fixed-income and equity analysis, alternative and
derivative investments, economics, financial reporting standards, portfolio management, and wealth planning.
The CFA Program curriculum is updated every year by experts from around the world to ensure that
candidates learn the most relevant and practical new tools, ideas, and investment and wealth management
skills to reflect the dynamic and complex nature of the profession.

CFA – Chartered Financial Analyst
The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charter is a globally respected, graduate-level investment credential
established in 1962 and awarded by CFA Institute - the largest global association of investment
professionals.
There are currently more than 90,000 CFA charterholders working in 134 countries. To earn the CFA charter,
candidates must: 1) pass three sequential, six-hour examinations; 2) have at least four years of qualified
professional investment experience; 3) join CFA Institute as members; and 4) commit to abide by, and
annually reaffirm, their adherence to the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional
Conduct.
High Ethical Standards
The CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct, enforced through an active
professional conduct program, require CFA charterholders to:
• Place their clients' interests ahead of their own
• Maintain independence and objectivity
• Act with integrity
• Maintain and improve their professional competence
• Disclose conflicts of interest and legal matters
Global Recognition
Passing the three CFA exams is a difficult feat that requires extensive study (successful candidates report
spending an average of 300 hours of study per level). Earning the CFA charter demonstrates mastery of
many of the advanced skills needed for investment analysis and decision making in today's quickly evolving
24
global financial industry. As a result, employers and clients are increasingly seeking CFA charterholders-
often making the charter a prerequisite for employment.
Additionally, regulatory bodies in 22 countries and territories recognize the CFA charter as a proxy for
meeting certain licensing requirements, and more than 125 colleges and universities around the world have
incorporated a majority of the CFA Program curriculum into their own finance courses.
Comprehensive and Current Knowledge
The CFA Program curriculum provides a comprehensive framework of knowledge for investment decision
making and is firmly grounded in the knowledge and skills used every day in the investment profession.
The three levels of the CFA Program test a proficiency with a wide range of fundamental and advanced
investment topics, including ethical and professional standards, fixed-income and equity analysis,
alternative and derivative investments, economics, financial reporting standards, portfolio management,
and wealth planning.
The CFA Program curriculum is updated every year by experts from around the world to ensure that
candidates learn the most relevant and practical new tools, ideas, and investment and wealth management
skills to reflect the dynamic and complex nature of the profession.
