ITEM 4 | Advisory Business
This Disclosure document is being offered to you by Frontier Asset Management, LLC (“Frontier” or “Firm”) about
the investment advisory services we provide. It discloses information about our services and the way those
services are made available to you, the client.
Our Firm became an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in August 2000
and is privately owned by principal owner Gary Miller, CFA, other employees and employee family members. We
are committed to helping clients build, manage and preserve their wealth. Our Firm provides services that seek
to help clients to achieve their stated financial goals.
INVESTMENT AND WEALTH MANAGEMENT SERVICES
We provide fee-based investment advisory services to retail investors, high net worth individuals, trusts,
charitable organizations, endowments, retirement plans, and other individual and institutional investors. We are
also retained to manage investment models and client accounts, either as a sub-advisor, joint-advisor, or on a
model provider basis, by a variety of third parties who are unaffiliated with us. Our firm engages in no business
activities other than fee- based investment advisory, financial planning, and model provider services.
We manage advisory accounts on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis. For discretionary accounts, once
the appropriate strategy has been determined for the client, we will execute the day-to-day transactions without
seeking prior client consent but within the expected investment guidelines. We may accept accounts with certain
restrictions, if circumstances warrant. Our investment strategies primarily use mutual funds, exchange traded
funds (“ETFs”) and exchange traded notes (“ETNs"). We generally invest clients’ cash balances in money market
funds. In most cases, at least a partial cash balance will be maintained in a money market account so that our firm
may debit advisory fees for our services.
We do not customize or tailor portfolios to individual client needs. Client assets are positioned in one of our
investment strategies based on their financial objectives. Likewise, we are not able to accommodate clients to
impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities.
During personal discussions with clients, we or our joint advisor / sub-advisor partners determine the client’s
objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. As appropriate, we also review a client’s prior
investment history, as well as family composition and background. We or our joint advisor partner select what
we feel is the appropriate investment strategy and Frontier manages the client’s investments based on those
objectives. We provide ongoing investment review and management services. It is the client’s obligation to notify
us or their joint advisor / sub-advisor immediately if circumstances have changed with respect to their goals.
In all cases, clients have a direct and beneficial interest in their securities, rather than an undivided interest in a
pool of securities. We do have limited authority to direct the Custodian to deduct our investment advisory fees
from an account(s), but only with the appropriate written authorization from clients.
Clients are advised and are expected to understand that our past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Certain market and economic risks exist that adversely affect an account’s performance. This could result in
capital losses in an account.
Use of Alternative Investments: Alternative investments include access to private, illiquid markets as well as
different ways of investing in publicly traded stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies. Alternative strategies
can employ shorting, leverage, and a greater degree of derivatives utilization to gain exposure to individual
Frontier Asset Management | ADV Brochure
Page 4 of 37
securities or asset classes. Frontier can utilize liquid alternatives within our strategies. Meaning, alternative
investments that are packaged in publicly traded mutual fund and ETF vehicles.
TAX MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Taxable accounts receive certain services based on the account size. In general, we analyze the tax- sensitivity of
the funds we use. A taxable portfolio will look different than a non-taxable portfolio, depending on the tax-
sensitivity of the funds. We attempt to shift taxable accounts into asset classes that may be more tax efficient. We
seek to limit short-term gains. For accounts valued at over $250,000 we look for tax-loss harvesting opportunities
throughout the year, and we monitor capital gains distributions.
Tax management services are limited through model provider relationships where Frontier does not have
discretion over account management. Tax management is also not offered for the Active ETF Strategies.
Please note that the Tax Management Services described above are not intended to, and do not, constitute tax
advice. Frontier does not provide tax advice. Clients should consult their own tax adviser to discuss their own
particular circumstances, objectives and risk tolerance before investing in our Tax Managed Strategies or utilizing
Tax Management services.
DISCRETIONARY ACCOUNTS – JOINT ADVISORY
We enter into an investment advisory agreement with the client and the client’s financial advisor. Both Frontier and the
client’s financial advisor serve as fiduciaries to the client under this agreement, which means they are required to put
the client’s interests before their own.
Frontier’s primary responsibility is to manage the client’s assets on a discretionary basis. This means that Frontier
initiates transactions in the client’s account without prior approval. Frontier initiates these transactions directly through
the independent custodian that holds the client’s assets.
Every quarter we make performance reports available to help clients and their financial advisors assess the value
of our services and measure progress toward their goals. We make every effort to be transparent with our clients
and encourage them to compare the performance reports to the custodial statement that they receive.
The performance of an investment strategy may be compared to that of a benchmark (e.g., a market index that
tracks how a particular segment of the market is performing, like the S&P 500). Frontier uses a blended
benchmark that is comprised of a number of different indices. The performance of a benchmark may not reflect
the deduction of the fees paid, which would reduce returns. The choice of an appropriate benchmark is important
in evaluating performance because it is important to compare apples to apples. It is generally not possible to
invest directly in an index.
Frontier also offers billing services for its discretionary accounts. Through this service, Frontier automatically
collects its fee and the advisor’s fee directly from the client’s account and distributes the advisor’s portion to the
RIA or B/D. Please see the Fees and Compensation and Custody sections for additional information.
The client’s financial advisor serves as the client’s investment advisor and consultant. In that role, the advisor provides
services such as:
interacting directly with Frontier on client’s behalf
• helping the client identify long-term goals and investment objectives
• developing an investment strategy to achieve those goals and objectives
• determining the ongoing suitability of Frontier’s services for the client
• helping the client assess the performance of the client’s account
•
Frontier Asset Management | ADV Brochure

The financial advisor may provide other services to the client as agreed between the advisor and the client.
MODEL PROVIDER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Frontier provides model investment strategies to investment advisory firms, through a third-party portfolio platform.
We do not enter direct relationships with, or serve as fiduciaries to, these clients. Instead, we serve as a strategist to the
firms that offer our model investment strategies and are paid a fee by them (except for our Active ETF Strategies). We
refer to these relationships as Platform relationships. Frontier also participates in model programs, sometimes
referred to as UMA programs, where we furnish investment advice and recommendations by delivering a model
securities portfolio to, as directed by, the model program manager.
As a strategist, Frontier provides ongoing monitoring and supervision of the strategies and periodically recommends
purchase and sale transactions with respect to the management of the model investment strategies by adjusting
positions on the online Platform portal / console. The firms that offer our models are solely responsible for
implementing all trading activity that Frontier recommends. The firms are obligated to employ our recommendations.
They are also responsible for providing all administrative and performance reporting services to their clients. On
occasion, these models can hold slightly different funds than Frontier’s direct advisory accounts due to custodial
relationship constraints with Fund Companies that are outside of our control. Frontier has the ability to obtain
waivers in some cases and makes every effort to obtain access to restricted funds. Because of this fact the performance
between our standard direct models and our platform models can and will differ.
CONSULTING SERVICES
Frontier provides investment consulting services to financial advisors and institutional clients. Our consulting
services include guidance relating to a broad range of investment issues such as asset allocation, manager selection,
investment strategy design and construction, performance measurement and development of investment policy
statements.
SUB-ADVISOR SERVICES
Frontier provides sub-advisor services to Investment Advisors. In these arrangements, Frontier oversees investment
strategies on a discretionary basis for clients of the Advisor. Both parties act as fiduciaries in the relationship.
Investment strategies are managed and monitored by Frontier on an ongoing basis. The Advisor is responsible for
the administrative paperwork, servicing the accounts and account maintenance. Frontier offers the investment
advisor access to our Tamarac Advisor Portal to enable performance reporting.
RETIREMENT PLAN SERVICES
For employer-sponsored retirement plans with participant-directed investments, our firm provides its advisory services
as an investment adviser as defined under Section 3(38) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended (“ERISA”).
When servicing as in a 3(38) fiduciary capacity, our Firm is granted full trading authority over the Plan and has the
responsibility for the selection and monitoring of all investment options offered under the Plan in accordance with
the investment policy statement and its underlying investment objectives and strategies for the Plan. Plan
participants have the ability to exercise control over the investment selection from the plans line up of
investments, and we have no authority or discretion to direct the investment of assets of any participant’s account
under the Plan.
Disclosure Regarding Rollover Recommendations:
We are fiduciaries under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Act”) and when we provide investment advice
Frontier Asset Management | ADV Brochure
Page 6 of 37
regarding a retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are also fiduciaries within the meaning
of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which
are laws governing retirement accounts. We have to act in the investor’s best interest and not put our interest
ahead of theirs. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflict with their interest.
A client or prospect leaving an employer typically has four options regarding an existing retirement plan (and may
engage in a combination of these options): (i) leave the money in the former employer’s plan, if permitted, (ii) roll
over the assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, (iii) rollover to an
Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”), or (iv) cash out the account value (which could, depending upon the client’s
age, result in adverse tax consequences). Our Firm may recommend an investor roll over plan assets to an IRA for
which our Firm provides investment advisory services. As a result, our Firm and its representatives may earn an
asset-based fee. In contrast, a recommendation that a client or prospective client leave their plan assets with their
previous employer or roll over the assets to a plan sponsored by a new employer will generally result in no compensation
to our Firm. Our Firm therefore has an economic incentive to encourage a client to roll plan assets into an IRA that our
Firm will manage, which presents a conflict of interest. To mitigate the conflict of interest, there are various factors
that our Firm will consider before recommending a rollover, including but not limited to: (i) the investment options
available in the plan versus the investment options available in an IRA, (ii) fees and expenses in the plan versus the fees
and expenses in an IRA, (iii) the services and responsiveness of the plan’s investment professionals versus those of our
Firm, (iv) protection of assets from creditors and legal judgments, (v) required minimum distributions and age
considerations, and (vi) employer stock tax consequences, if any. Our Firm’s Chief Compliance Officer remains
available to address any questions that a client or prospective client has regarding the oversight.
WRAP FEE PROGRAM
Our Firm does not sponsor a Wrap Fee Program.
ASSETS
Frontier Asset Management offers asset-class allocation and investment management services through independent
Registered Investment Advisers, Model Investment Strategy Providers and Subadvisors and their respective clients.
Collectively, clients of Independent Registered Investment Advisors, clients of Model Investment Strategy Providers and
clients of Subadvisors are referred to as Client(s). As of December 31, 2025, Frontier oversaw total assets of
$5,487,939,919 for Clients.
Discretionary Assets are those accounts where Frontier has direct authority over an account and provides continuous
and ongoing management of the account. Some Client accounts are administered on a Non-Discretionary basis where
Frontier provides ongoing management of the account but does not have direct authority to affect the individual
account. These relationships are managed under a Model Provider Investment Strategy relationship.

ITEM 5 | Fees and Compensation
DISCRETIONARY ACCOUNTS – JOINT ADVISORY – INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Our maximum annual fees for managing strategies on a discretionary basis for the clients of financial advisors are:
ACCOUNT VALUE
The first $500,000
Over $500,000 up to $1,000,000
Over $1,000,000 up to $5,000,000
Above $5,000,000
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

0.20%
The maximum annual advisory fee a joint advisor may charge is 1.50%. The maximum combined fee for clients cannot
exceed 2%.
The minimum account size is $100,000 and can be waived at Frontier’s discretion.
Taxable accounts that opt for tax management will be invested in a Tax-Managed strategy. These strategies are
designed using after-tax return expectations which may result in a reduction to asset classes that generate taxable
income. For advisory accounts with assets over $250,000, we offer additional tax management services at no extra
cost. These include ongoing tax-loss harvesting, capital gains distribution monitoring, tax lot trading and
comprehensive tax impact analysis. The primary objective is to minimize after-tax returns on taxable investment
accounts.
Clients should consult their own tax adviser to discuss their own particular circumstances, objectives and risk
tolerance before investing in our Tax-Managed Strategies or utilizing Tax Management services.
Frontier offers a “householding” fee agreement for clients that have more than one advisory discretionary strategy
account with Frontier under the same household (same physical address). In calculating the fees for household accounts
the assets in all accounts will be combined to determine the total fee then it will be allocated proportionately to each
account.
For discretionary and advisory investment management relationships, Frontier generally requires payment in advance
at the beginning of each calendar quarter. Through the investment advisory agreement, clients provide Frontier with
authority to invoice the client’s custodian directly for payment of our management fees. We notify the client’s qualified
custodian of the fee amount for each account shortly after the beginning of each quarter, based on the value of the
account on the last day of the preceding quarter. The custodian debits the fees from the client’s account(s) and deposits
the funds into a designated fee account that Frontier maintains at the custodian. Frontier then distributes the
proportional fees to the Advisor and Frontier. Frontier itself does not hold custody of the client’s funds in line with
section 206(4)-2 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

DISCRETIONARY ACCOUNTS – JOINT ADVISORY – ACTIVE ETF STRATEGIES
Our maximum annual fees for managing Active ETF Strategies on a discretionary basis for the clients of financial
advisors are:
ACCOUNT VALUE
The first $500,000
Over $500,000 up to $1,000,000
Over $1,000,000 up to $5,000,000
Above $5,000,000
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
0.25%
0.15%
0.125%
0.10%
The maximum annual fee a joint advisor may charge is 1.50%.
The minimum account size is $20,000 and can be waived at Frontier’s discretion. We do not offer tax management for
our Active ETF Strategies.
The financial advisors that provide investment advisory and consulting services to clients charge a fee for their services.
That fee is established solely by the financial advisor and usually is set forth separately in the investment advisory
agreement among Frontier, the advisor and the client.
Typically, Frontier collects both its fee and the financial advisor’s fee from the client’s account and distributes the
advisor’s fee to the advisor.
MODEL PROVIDER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Since the level of investment management effort and day-to-day operational activity is typically less for model-based
relationships than for discretionary relationships, the fees for model-based relationships are usually lower than those
for discretionary relationships. The maximum annual fees for model-based relationships are 0.40% of assets under
management. The fees are based on account size so there is no set minimum or maximum fee.
CONSULTING SERVICES
The annual fees charged in connection with consulting relationships vary depending upon the number of models
provided, the amount of effort required to create the models, the size and nature of the relationship and the level of
service required. Frontier’s fees for consulting services also can be charged on a fixed fee or hourly basis and vary
depending upon the nature and scope of the relationship. For example, Registered Investment Advisor Consulting
clients are typically charged a flat fee based on the services provided. These can include, but are not limited to, asset
allocations for model strategies and other proprietary research related services. Fees are determined on a case-by-
case basis.
SUB-ADVISOR SERVICES
Frontier’s maximum annual fees for sub-advisor relationships are:
ACCOUNT VALUE
First $20M
Next $30M up to $50M
Over $50M
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
0.50%
0.35%
0.30%
Sub-Advisor fees are based on assets under management of the sub-advisor client. Minimums are negotiable and
determined at the discretion of Frontier.
Frontier Asset Management | ADV Brochure
Page 9 of 37
Frontier will not charge a fee when using Active ETF Strategies within a sub-advisor relationship. However, the
Active ETF accounts will be included in the AUM used to determine the breakpoints for the subadvisor's
investment management fee.
RETIREMENT PLANNING SERVICES
For Retirement Plan Advisory Services compensation, we charge an advisory fee as negotiated with the Plan Sponsor and
as disclosed in the Employer Sponsored Retirement Plans Consulting Agreement (“Plan Sponsor Agreement”). Our
maximum advisory fees do not exceed 0.50% annually.
Typically, the billing period for these fees is paid quarterly. This fee is generally negotiable, but terms and advisory fee is
agreed to in advance and acknowledged by the Plan Sponsor through the Plan Sponsor Agreement and/or Plan
Provider’s account agreement. Fee billing methods vary depending on the Plan Provider.
Termination may vary depending on the Plan Provider and Agreement.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR FEES
For discretionary and advisory investment management relationships, Frontier generally requires payment in advance
at the beginning of each calendar quarter. Through the investment advisory agreement, clients provide Frontier with
authority to invoice the client’s custodian directly for payment of our management fees. We notify the client’s qualified
custodian of the fee amount for each account shortly after the beginning of each quarter, based on the value of the
account on the last day of the preceding quarter. The custodian debits the fees from the client’s account(s) and deposits
the funds into a designated fee account that Frontier maintains at the custodian. Frontier then distributes the
proportional fees to the Advisor and Frontier. Sub-advisory and Consulting fees are invoiced on a quarterly basis per
the advisory agreement.
Clients will receive a periodic (at least quarterly) account statement from the custodian, reflecting among other things,
any fees withdrawn by the custodian and paid to Frontier. Clients are urged to review statements received by their
custodian for accuracy. For more information on the reports Frontier provides to our clients, please refer to the “Review
of Accounts” section below.
In limited circumstances, Frontier will evaluate requests on a case-by-case basis to directly bill a client for Frontier’s fees
rather than having the fees deducted automatically from the account. There is an annual charge of $100 for this direct
bill service. Frontier invoices the client separately for this fee.
For accounts that start during a quarter, Frontier charges a prorated fee for the partial quarter. The prorated fee is based
on the value of the account on the first day when we begin to manage the account. Occasionally, there is a delay
between when an account is opened and when we begin to manage it. For example, when securities are transferred
from several accounts or custodians it can take time for the account to be whole and in this instance, we would generally
wait for all assets to be in the account prior to beginning to manage the account.
Discretionary and advisory relationships are generally terminable at any time by the client. Prorated fee refunds of
Frontier’s fee are given for accounts that are terminated during a quarter for unearned fees paid in advance of services.
Refunds are automatically made to the client’s account (if Frontier still has access to it) or are sent to the client’s address
of record. Calculation of prorated refunds is based on the last day that Frontier takes any action relating to the
management or administration of the account. Subadvisor and Consulting relationships are generally terminable at any
time upon written notice. If fees are assessed in arrears payment for services provided shall be due at that time based on
days of service rendered. Frontier has several sub- advisor relationships that are billed in arrears, we bill the firm the
amount of the quarter they were open.
Frontier Asset Management | ADV Brochure
Page 10 of 37
For model-based and investment consulting relationships, the timing and procedures for payment and for termination
of the relationship vary and are negotiated based on the nature, scope and type of relationship involved and the
individual RIA or B/D.
None of the above fees include brokerage or custodial fees that are charged by a custodian. Nor do they include
transaction fees and redemption charges associated with purchases and sales of investment products for the account or
any other fees incurred in the scope of trading an account.
The mutual funds and exchange traded products purchased for client accounts charge internal management fees and
incur expenses that are deducted from the assets of the fund and therefore borne by the shareholders of the mutual funds
and exchange traded products. The fees also can include distribution fees and sales charges. These fees and expenses
are in addition to Frontier’s fees and fees charged by the client’s Financial Advisor. Refer to the fund prospectus for the
amount of these fees and expenses.
Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other advisers. Our fees may be negotiated or changed by
Frontier at the sole discretion of the Firm. We reserve the right to waive or reduce our investment management fee and
account size minimums with respect to any account, including but not limited to accounts for our employees and/or
family members. Some of the factors relevant to charging different fees are the account size, the investment strategy,
the type of client, and the nature of the relationship between the potential client and Frontier. Fees may be higher for
additional level of services.
ITEM 6 | Performance-Based Fees
Frontier does not charge any performance-based fees or fees based on a share of capital gains or capital
appreciation of the assets in an account.
ITEM 7 | Types of Clients
Frontier manages taxable and non-taxable accounts for affluent individuals and retirement accounts such as
401(k) and profit-sharing plans. Frontier provides investment management and consulting services to financial
advisors and institutional clients, including endowments, foundations, corporations and other investment
advisory organizations.
Frontier’s minimum account size for discretionary and advisory investment management relationships is $100,000 for
mutual fund accounts and $20,000 for ETF accounts. The account minimums can be waived at Frontier’s discretion.
Minimums for model-based programs are established by the program sponsor. Minimums are subject to negotiation
and Frontier reserves the right to waive the minimum or accept or decline a potential client for any reason in its sole
discretion.

ITEM 8 | Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Frontier constructs a variety of multi-asset, multi-manager model investment strategies for its clients. Strategies
offered include Core Strategies, Tax-Managed Strategies, Active ETF Strategies, Faith-Based Strategies, Specialty
Strategies, and Conservative Income Strategies. Each strategy is managed within a specified framework of return
objectives and targets on risk. All strategies, except for the Specialty Strategies, have minimum and maximum
constraints placed on the percentage of assets that can be allocated to each major asset class group. The
constraints provide ranges for positions in each asset class for each strategy. Actual model holdings can drift
outside those ranges at times due to market fluctuation or other factors. The ranges are merely estimates and
not mandates.
The Core Strategies are risk-managed investment strategies that can serve as the core foundation of a portfolio. These
strategies are broadly diversified and managed within established ranges to seek to ensure broad-asset class exposure.
The Specialty Strategies are risk-managed investment strategies that can either complete an investor’s total
portfolio or address a specific investor need. They can be broadly diversified, but since the asset class constraints
on our Specialty Strategies are considerably wider, they can, at times, be highly concentrated.
The Faith-Based Strategies are risk-managed strategies designed for investors who wish to align their investments
with their values. The Strategies employ a Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) screen. The Faith-Based Strategies
utilize companies that seek to uphold biblical values – such as respect for every human life, freedom of all people, fair
and ethical business practices, support of family and community, environmental stewardship, etc. – and to steer clear
of companies that don’t. We complete our own stringent screening of both BRI funds and non-BRI funds. All funds are
evaluated by a computer-based screening program. From those results, we further scrutinize each fund to determine
their involvement in abortion, pornography, anti-family entertainment, non-biblical lifestyle, tobacco, gambling, and
alcohol. These strategies are broadly diversified and managed within established ranges to seek to ensure broad-asset
class exposure.
The Active ETF Strategies are risk-managed strategies designed for investors with a preference for exchange traded
funds (ETFs). These strategies are broadly diversified and managed within established ranges to seek to ensure broad-
asset class exposure. The Active ETF Strategies are implemented with Frontier ETF Funds.
The Tax-Managed Strategies are risk-managed strategies designed to maximize after-tax returns. Frontier manages
these strategies by analyzing the tax-sensitivity of each fund and uses that information as a variable in its optimization
process. We adjust the asset allocation mixes of the Tax-Managed Strategies to utilize asset classes that are more tax-
efficient. Our Tax-Managed Strategies also allocate less to asset classes that distribute taxable income. We generally only
trade positions when the expected added value exceeds the anticipated tax cost. We look for tax-loss harvesting
opportunities throughout the year. We monitor anticipated capital gains distributions and try to avoid large payouts.
The goal is to reduce the taxes paid on taxable investment strategy accounts; any tax advice should be discussed with a
certified public accountant.
The Conservative Income Strategies are risk-managed strategies designed for investors with an income preference.
Frontier utilizes funds with a track-record of regular distributions, including high-yield bond funds, dividend-focused
equity funds, and other assets that make regular distributions.
Frontier Asset Management | ADV Brochure
Page 12 of 37
ASSET ALLOCATION
Frontier believes strongly in the benefits of investment strategy diversification. We attempt, through asset allocation
strategies, to achieve the return targets of our investment strategies while seeking to manage the downside volatility in
the strategy.
The first step in our process is determining which types of asset classes we will use in constructing our investment
strategies. Currently, the list includes the following (this list is subject to change without notification):
US Large Stocks
US Small Stocks
International Large Stocks
International Small Stocks
Emerging Markets Stocks
Managed Futures
Commodities
Absolute Return
Real Estate Investment Trusts
Floating Rate Securities
US High Quality Bonds
US High Yield Bonds
Long-Term Government Bonds
International Bonds
TIPS
Treasury Bills
Many asset classes contain sub-groups that we can also use to our advantage in building investment strategies. For
example, US Large Stocks and US Small Stocks have “growth” and “value” subgroups with different performance
characteristics.
We don’t use all asset classes and sub-groups in all investment strategies. We use only those we believe are appropriate
given the strategy’s investment objectives.
Next, we establish our long-term target asset allocation mix. That mix is based on our estimates of the future long-term
return and risk characteristics of each asset class and the relationships among their performance patterns.
As the investment environment changes, we alter the target asset allocation mix to reflect those changes. We have
developed quantitative models that tell us when allocation adjustments may be appropriate. These models focus on
long-term future asset class return, risk and correlation expectations.
For all Frontier Strategies we set asset allocation ranges for each of 5 major asset class groups. We take these ranges into
account in making allocation adjustments.
MANAGER SELECTION
Frontier’s investment strategies are constructed using mutual funds, ETFs, SMAs or some combination thereof.
We believe that these investment vehicles give us access to skilled investment managers. Mutual funds and ETFs are
highly liquid and allow us to achieve broad market diversification in a very efficient manner.
Frontier’s fund selection process relies on qualitative and quantitative factors. The goal of this process is to identify fund
managers who are skilled and who we believe can, when combined with other managers in an investment strategy,
contribute to achieving the investment objectives of that strategy.
The heart of our quantitative process is our use of returns-based style analysis. Style analysis helps us establish a unique
performance benchmark for each manager. We believe these benchmarks help us determine which managers
have added value in the past and have the requisite skills to do so in the future. Our qualitative process helps us
identify characteristics that we believe are important in good managers. The goal is to identify managers who:
Frontier Asset Management | ADV Brochure
Page 13 of 37
• have experience managing assets in various market environments
• will act in the best interest of our clients
• are passionate about investing
• manage assets using a unique strategy
• are flexible in their approach
• charge a reasonable fee for their services
• are highly motivated to generate results that will benefit our clients
Of course, not all the managers we select have all these qualities, but we look for managers with as many of them as
possible.
Once we have identified a group of managers that are eligible for inclusion in our investment strategies, we use a
proprietary process to combine them. This process is designed to create a multi-manager investment strategy whose
respective investment styles and approaches will complement each other over time. Frontier believes that properly
combining managers in a strategy is an important factor that has the potential to contribute to a strategy’s success in
achieving its investment objectives.
Once Frontier has established the asset allocation strategy, selected managers and combined them in an investment
strategy, we monitor the strategy and the funds in the strategy. We may make adjustments to our asset allocation
strategy and/or replace managers in an investment strategy when we believe adjustments are advisable.
There are always risks when it comes to investing. Securities such as mutual funds and ETFs rise and fall in value
based on many factors. There is no guarantee that Frontier’s investment strategies will achieve their investment
objectives. We attempt to manage declines in our investment strategies, but their performance is highly
dependent on the performance of the securities markets. Clients should be prepared for the possibility of losses.
Diversification and asset allocation do not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss.
MATERIAL RISKS
Investing in securities involves a significant risk of loss. Frontier’s investment strategies invest in asset classes
and investment vehicles that are subject to various market, currency, economic, political and business risks, and
such investment decisions may not always be profitable. Clients should be aware that there may be a loss or
depreciation to the value of the client’s account, which clients should be prepared to bear. There can be no
assurance that a client’s investment objectives will be obtained and no inference to the contrary should be made.
Clients are advised that they should only commit assets for management that can be invested for the long term,
that volatility from investing can occur, and that all investing is subject to risk and consequently, the value of the
client’s account may at any time be worth more or less than the amount invested.
More specific risks associated with Frontier’s assets classes and investment vehicles that clients should be aware
of include, but are not limited, to the following:
• Market Risk: The price of a stock, bond, mutual fund or other security may drop in reaction to tangible and
intangible events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by external factors independent of a security’s
particular underlying circumstances.
• Credit Risk: The risk that a portfolio could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security,
or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations.
• High Yield Risk: High yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as
“junk bonds”) are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks.
Frontier Asset Management | ADV Brochure
Page 14 of 37
•
Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will not buy as much as a dollar next
year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
• Currency Risk: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the dollar against the
•
currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also referred to as exchange rate risk.
Interest-Rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to fluctuate. For example,
when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less attractive, causing their market values to
decline.
• Political and Legislative Risk: Companies face a complex set of laws and circumstances in each country in
which they operate. The political and legal environment can change rapidly and without warning, with
significant impact, especially for companies operating outside of the United States or those companies
who conduct a substantial amount of their business outside of the United States.
• Reinvestment Risk: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have to be reinvested at a
potentially lower rate of return (i.e. interest rate). This primarily relates to fixed income securities.
• Business Risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a particular company within an
industry. Generally, business risk is that a company will go bankrupt or perform below expectations.
Every company carries the business risk that it will produce insufficient cash flow in order to maintain
operations. Business risk can come from a variety of sources, some systemic and others unsystemic. That
is, every company has the business risk that the broader economy will perform poorly and therefore that
sales will be poor, and also the risk that the market simply will not like its products.
• Financial Risk: Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations increases the risk of profitability,
because the company must meet the terms of its obligations in good times and bad. During periods of
financial stress, the inability to meet loan obligations may result in bankruptcy and/or a declining market
value.
• Derivatives Risk: This is the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rates,
market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuations. Changes in the valued of the
derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index and the investment could
lose more than the principal amount invested.
• Foreign Investment Risk: Investments in foreign securities may be riskier than U.S. investments because
of factors such as, unstable international, political and economic conditions, currency fluctuations,
foreign controls on investment and currency exchange, foreign governmental control of some issuers,
potential confiscatory taxation or nationalization of companies by foreign governments, withholding
taxes, a lack of adequate company information, less liquid and more volatile exchanges and/or markets,
ineffective or detrimental government regulation, varying accounting standards, political or economic
factors that may severely limit business activities, and legal systems or market practices that may permit
inequitable treatment of minority and/or non-domestic investors. Investments in emerging markets may
involve these and other significant risks such as less mature economic structures and less developed and
more thinly traded securities markets.
• Values-based Investment Risk. Some strategy’s values-based screening criteria could cause it to
underperform similar strategies that do not have such screening criteria. This could be due to certain screened
companies falling out of favor with investors or failing to perform as well as companies that do not meet the
strategy’s values-based screening guidelines.
• Management Risk. Frontier’s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of
particular securities in which the strategies invest may prove to be incorrect and there is no guarantee that the
judgments and decisions made will produce the desired results.
Frontier Asset Management | ADV Brochure
Page 15 of 37
It is important to note that while Frontier recommends investing for the long-term, certain mutual funds or ETPs
recommended by us may employ high-frequency trading. As a result, such frequent trading may result in
increased brokerage and other transaction costs, which generally could reduce investment returns over time. For
detailed information on the risks associated with investing in the mutual funds or ETPs invested in by Frontier,
please refer to the funds’ prospectuses or other equivalent disclosure documentation.
VOLATILE POLITICAL, MARKET AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Investments in many industries have experienced significant volatility over the last several years. The ability to
realize investments depends, in part, on political, market and economic conditions. The trading market for the
securities of portfolio companies may not be sufficiently liquid to enable a client to sell securities when it believes
that it is most advantageous to do so, or without adversely affecting the price for such securities. Continued
volatility in political, market or economic conditions, including an outbreak or escalation of major hostilities, the
spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, declarations of war or other substantial national or
international calamity or emergency, could have a material adverse effect on any client, directly or as a result of
causing a material adverse effect on an underlying investment. In addition, clients may make investments in
certain publicly traded vehicles that make private investments in multiple companies or in publicly traded debt.
Such investments could experience higher volatility and risk.
BUSINESS CONTINUITY
Frontier has adopted a business continuation strategy to maintain critical functions in the event of a partial or
total building outage affecting our offices or a technical problem affecting applications, data centers or networks.
The recovery strategies are designed to limit the impact on clients from any business interruption or disaster.
Nevertheless, our ability to conduct business can be curtailed by a disruption in the infrastructure that supports
our operations.
CYBERSECURITY RISK
Although Frontier has implemented various measures designed to manage risks relating to cybersecurity events,
information or technology systems may become compromised in the event of a breach. We will make every effort
to minimize the disruption to our services. Frontier maintains Cybersecurity Insurance to help protect against
loss. It is possible that a cybersecurity event could cause interruptions in the operations of Frontier, or its client
accounts and sensitive data could become vulnerable. Frontier believes that it has taken to proper precautions
to mitigate the risk of a breach and has procedures in place to help us respond should a cybersecurity event occur.
ESG INVESTING RISK
ESG (Environmental–Social–Governance) Investing Risk: The analysis of ESG issues is integrated in our investment
process for our Faith-Based strategies. This means that we consider the risk/return implications of ESG issues when
making or evaluating Faith-Based investments. We manage our Faith-Based strategies with ESG constraints
determined by Frontier. We utilize data and screens from third-party service providers in connection with applying the
constraints. Our Faith-Based strategies are subject to ESG guidelines and restrictions and could underperform
accounts invested in a similar strategy without the same restrictions because the ESG guidelines can force a portfolio
manager to avoid or liquidate a well-performing security because it does not meet the ESG criteria.
Frontier Asset Management | ADV Brochure

ITEM 9 | Disciplinary Information
Frontier maintains high standards of ethics and integrity for its employees. To the best of our knowledge, neither
Frontier, nor any of its employees:
• has ever been the subject of any legal, administrative or disciplinary action by any governmental or
regulatory authority
• has ever been the subject of any lawsuit or proceeding brought by a client or financial advisory firm
• has ever been the subject of any criminal proceeding
ITEM 10 | Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Frontier’s investment advisory business provides investment management and consulting services to its clients
while Frontier also acts as an investment advisor to Frontier’s ETFs. Frontier is majority owned and controlled by
its management and family members. Frontier serves as a fiduciary to its advisory clients, which means that it
puts its clients’ interests before its own.
All purchases and sales for client accounts are based solely on Frontier’s consideration of the clients’ best
interests.
Occasionally, Frontier accepts sponsorship for advisor related events. Sponsors may be custodians, fund
companies or third-party service providers. Sponsors attend the event in order to educate and present
information to advisors. Frontier does not in any way use their sponsorship or participation as a determination in
how we select investment vehicles for our strategies. We give no preferential treatment to those that sponsor or
attend and those that do not. Frontier is not affiliated with any potential sponsors. Frontier may also act as a
sponsor for certain industry events where advisors may participate. Frontier does not receive any payment from
such advisors for their participation and does not give any preferential treatment to those that attend.
From time-to-time Frontier may provide information to our business relationship contacts we have received on
new services from custodians, who are not affiliated in any way. These services may be beneficial to our mutual
clients. In some cases, if advisors recommend these services to their clients and we are selected to manage the
account we would receive an advisory fee.
Frontier is under common ownership with Elevate, an affiliated registered investment adviser. Frontier may
recommend or refer clients to Elevate, which creates a conflict of interest because Frontier may benefit financially
from such referrals. Clients are not required to use Elevate and may choose any service provider. Frontier will only
make such recommendations when it believes they are in the client’s best interest.
Frontier Asset Management | ADV Brochure
Page 17 of 37
ITEM 11 | Code of Ethics, Conflicts of Interest and Personal Trading
Frontier has adopted a Code of Ethics in compliance with Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940,
as amended, which is contained in Frontier’s Conduct, Ethics and Civility Policy and accompanied by the Trading
Policy. All Frontier employees are subject to these policies, which set standards of behavior that are intended to
establish a high level of professionalism, integrity and fair dealing with clients. All Frontier employees are subject
to its provisions.
Under the Trading Policy, Frontier allows employees to maintain personal securities accounts at any broker-
dealer. They are free to initiate trades in those accounts without prior review or approval, except in the case of
any transactions of private limited offerings, purchases of IPOs and the ETPs we use in our strategies or securities
on the restricted list which require preclearance from our Compliance department. They are permitted to
purchase mutual funds for their accounts that are purchased by Frontier for client investment strategies.
Employees are not allowed to:
trade on inside information
“front-run” or trade in anticipation of client transactions
•
•
• engage in trading activity prohibited under the federal securities laws
• engage in transactions that conflict with our clients’ best interests
Employees are required to provide reports of their securities holdings and transactions on a periodic basis. These
reports are reviewed by the firm’s compliance personnel.
A copy of these policies is available to any client or prospective client upon request. Requests should be directed
to Frontier at the address shown on page 1 of this brochure.
ITEM 12 | Brokerage Practices
Frontier manages accounts on a discretionary basis for many of its clients. That means that Frontier can buy and
sell securities for the client without obtaining permission for each transaction prior to initiating it.
Frontier has adopted trading policies and procedures to help ensure that it lives up to its fiduciary duties and duty
of fairness to its clients. These policies and procedures serve as guidelines for all Frontier employees in the
management and trading of discretionary accounts and model investment strategies.
Our specialty is initiating the trading of funds at the custodial firms where our clients maintain their accounts. We
do our best trading other types of securities, but we have no special expertise in those areas.
Most of the trades we execute are initiated internally as part of our investment strategy management
responsibilities. We make no effort to time the market or guess the direction of the market in the short- term in
executing trades. When advisors provide specific trading instructions relating to an account, we use reasonable
efforts to execute them as directed.
Frontier initiates transactions for discretionary accounts through the broker or qualified custodian selected by
the client to maintain that account. Brokers and qualified custodians provide trading and custody services for
clients.
Frontier Asset Management | ADV Brochure
Page 18 of 37
Most investment strategies managed by Frontier consist of mutual funds. All mutual funds purchased for client accounts
will be purchased without any “sales load” or commission. This means neither Frontier nor any of its employees
receives any payment from the mutual fund company in connection with the purchase of mutual fund shares.
Some mutual funds purchased for client accounts are available on a “transaction-fee” basis. That means that the broker
or custodian through which Frontier purchases or sells the fund charges the client a fee in connection with the
transaction. Frontier does not receive any portion of these fees.
Other mutual funds purchased for client accounts are purchased on a “no-transaction fee” basis. That means they can
be purchased and sold without the imposition of any transaction fee. We call these “no-transaction fee funds.”
Because Exchange Traded Products price intraday, unlike mutual funds, Frontier handles the trading of these accounts
in a different manner. Frontier uses limit orders based on the most recent quoted market price available to us in an
effort to protect against violent market movements that may affect executed order prices negatively. Furthermore, for
the most part Frontier uses block orders when trading a security across multiple accounts in order to allow that all
accounts receive the same execution price. If a block order is not filled, it is prorated across accounts and then Frontier
attempts to fill the remainder of the block the following day.
Frontier does not have the authority to determine which brokers or qualified custodians its clients use or the fees
that they charge. Frontier may decline to manage an account that is maintained at any broker or custodian with
which it does not have an existing relationship.
Frontier does recommend brokers/ qualified custodians to its discretionary account clients. Some examples
include Fidelity and Schwab. We base our recommendations on a number of factors, including:
level and responsiveness of service to Frontier and our clients
the value or benefit of other services or support provided to Frontier
• cost to the client
• quality and cost of trade execution
•
skill and experience of the broker/custodian
• quality of monthly statements and online access
• ease of use and operational efficiency for Frontier
• availability of funds through the broker/custodian
•
•
These services are generally offered to
investment advisors that manage accounts through these
brokers/custodians. The offering of these services to Frontier may present a potential conflict of interest. Frontier
believes that its recommendations are always made in the client’s best interest.
Discretionary accounts are traded on an individual account basis and trades are not aggregated. This allows us
to trade each account in the manner most appropriate for each client. We believe this is a benefit to our clients.
We do not trade model-based investment strategies. Rather, we provide information to the firms that offer our
models about how they should be traded. The Firms must follow our recommendations. Those firms are then
solely responsible for implementation of those instructions. Frontier does not monitor or supervise the trading
activity of these firms.
Frontier Asset Management | ADV Brochure
Page 19 of 37
ITEM 13 | Review of Accounts
Each investment strategy managed by Frontier is monitored on a daily basis to determine if it falls within certain
asset class and mutual fund tolerance levels established for each investment strategy. Investment strategies may
fall outside established tolerances for reasons such as market movements, client contributions or withdrawals.
Adjustments are made to bring investment strategies back within established tolerances when they are deemed
beneficial.
These reviews are conducted by the operations management team. The team is supervised by our Director of
Investments.
The review process is highly automated. Investment strategy tolerance levels are monitored by Frontier’s trading
platform software, Tamarac. All trades are reviewed and approved by members of the investment strategy
management team, that consists of four voting members.
Committee meetings are generally attended by one or more members of the investment strategy management
team and occasionally the Chief Compliance Officer.
The Investment Committee designs and reviews the models for each investment strategy managed by Frontier.
We review our model investment strategies periodically (at least once a month) to determine whether their
allocations to various asset classes and investment products should be adjusted.
ITEM 14 | Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Frontier enters into joint advisory agreements with financial advisors and their clients. These joint advisory
agreements call for Frontier to manage assets for those clients and call for the financial advisors to perform
certain other investment advisory, such as ongoing suitability, and consulting services for those clients.
Frontier’s fees are set forth in the joint advisory agreement. In most cases and in all new agreements, the financial
advisor’s fees are separately stated in that agreement too, although occasionally they are combined with
Frontier’s fees. Frontier has several preexisting agreements where fees are combined based on past requests from
advisors. For the vast majority of clients, Frontier collects its fees and the advisor’s fees from the client’s account
and then distributes the advisor’s fee to the advisor.
Frontier does not pay any portion of its stated fee to the advisor and the advisor does not pay any portion of its
stated fee to Frontier.
We believe that our fees are fair and reasonable for the services we provide. Although we have no role in
establishing the fees charged by the financial advisors we work with, we believe that these financial advisors set
their fees based on the reasonable value of the services they provide.
We may compensate non-affiliated and affiliated persons for referrals (hereinafter a “Promoter”) in accordance with
rules under the Act. Such compensation represents a share of our investment advisory fee charged to our clients. This
arrangement will not result in higher costs to you. In this regard, we maintain a written agreement with the Promoter and
shall ensure the Promoter is not disqualified by the SEC in compliance with Rule 206 (4)-1 of the Act and applicable state
and federal laws. All clients referred by Promoters to our Firm will be given full written disclosure describing the terms,
Frontier Asset Management | ADV Brochure
Page 20 of 37
compensation, material conflicts of interest and if Promoter is a client of the Firm. In cases where state law requires
licensure of Promoters, we ensure that no compensation is paid unless the Promoter is registered as an investment
adviser representative of our Firm. The Promoter will not provide clients with any investment advice on behalf of our
Firm.
The compensation received by the affiliated person creates a conflict of interest because it provides an incentive
to recommend or refer clients to the affiliate based on the potential financial benefit, rather than solely on the
client’s best interest. To mitigate this conflict, the Adviser only makes such recommendations when it believes
the affiliate’s services are appropriate and in the client’s best interest, and clients are free to select any service
provider of their choice.
ITEM 15 | Custody
Based on the adopted amendment to the custody rule 206(4)-2 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940,
Frontier is considered to have custody of client assets by virtue of having the authority to withdraw our advisory
fees and the Advisor’s fees from client accounts. Frontier does not have authority or ability to withdraw client
assets for any other reason and we do not maintain physical custody of client assets.
Taking into consideration the guidance given by the SEC via the No Action Letter (NAL) to the Investment Adviser
Association in February of 2017, Frontier has reviewed account authorizations and taken additional steps to
ensure that we do not have inadvertent or imputed custody. First Party standing letters of authorization (SLOA)
are made to identically registered accounts or we require signatures for each transfer. With the help of the
qualified custodians our direct clients maintain their accounts with we are able to meet the seven criteria outlined
in the NAL to remain exempt from the Surprise Exam requirement. Six of the seven are contingent on custodian
forms and procedures. These criteria are as follows:
1. The client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. The client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the client’s qualified custodian.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. The client’s qualified custodian sends the client, in writing, an initial notice confirming the instruction and an
annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
Frontier Asset Management | ADV Brochure
Page 21 of 37
Frontier maintains such records identified under Item 6 above.
Frontier also allows some third-party SLOAs for our direct client accounts. In all cases Frontier ensures these
criteria are met:
1. The client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. The client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the client’s qualified custodian.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. The client’s qualified custodian sends the client, in writing, an initial notice confirming the instruction and an
annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
Direct client assets are held in one or more accounts with a qualified custodian of the client’s choosing. We have
reasonable belief that each qualified custodian distributes account statements to the client at least quarterly,
which reflect among other things the amount of all advisory fees deducted from a client’s account. Frontier urges
clients to compare the statements they receive from custodians with statements and/or account reports received
from Advisors and Frontier.
The firm has no discretion as to the amount, payee or timing of the transfer for its clients who have SLOAs.
ITEM 16 | Investment Discretion
Many Frontier accounts are managed on a discretionary basis. This means that Frontier has the authority to
purchase and sell securities for the account without obtaining prior approval from the client.
Discretionary trading authority is granted to Frontier through the investment advisory agreement it enters into
with each client. This authority is implemented through a Limited Power of Attorney that is executed by each
client and provided to the client’s broker or custodian.
Clients may place special restrictions or limitations on Frontier’s discretionary authority. To be effective, such
restrictions or limitations must be in writing and must be specifically agreed to by Frontier.
Frontier may decline to manage an account based on requested restrictions or limitations on its trading authority.
Frontier Asset Management | ADV Brochure
Page 22 of 37
ITEM 17 | Voting Client Securities
Unless otherwise requested by a client, Frontier votes all proxies for securities over which it has discretion. Frontier
attempts to vote proxies in a manner that is in the best interest of the client for whom they are voted.
When Frontier obtains discretion over securities that are transferred into an account with the understanding that
Frontier will sell them, it is our policy to abstain from voting them. In the rare case that we receive a proxy for a security
over which we do not have discretion, it is our policy to forward the proxy to the investment advisor or other individual
who has discretion over that security or use reasonable efforts to seek direction about how to vote the proxy.
In the event that Frontier identifies a potential conflict between its interests and those of a client with respect to the voting
of a proxy, Frontier will notify and seek guidance from the client, through that client’s investment advisor. In the event
Frontier does not receive timely direction or guidance regarding the voting of the proxy, Frontier will abstain from
voting the proxy.
Clients may request a copy of Frontier’s full Proxy Voting Policy and/or the specific details of any proxy that was voted for
their account by contacting us using the information on page 1 of this brochure. A copy of our Proxy Voting Policy is
available on our web site at www.frontierasset.com.
ITEM 18 | Financial Information
Our firm does not have any financial condition or impairment that would prevent us from meeting our contractual
commitments to you. We do not take physical custody of client funds or securities, or serve as trustee or signatory for
client accounts, and we do not require the prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees six or more months in advance.
Therefore, we are not required to include a financial statement with this brochure. We have not filed a bankruptcy petition
at any time in the past ten years.

Mr. Cupertino earned his BBA in Management from the University of Georgia. He is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™
professional.
I am certified for financial planning services in the United States by Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc.
(“CFP Board”). Therefore, I may refer to myself as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional or a CFP®
professional, and I may use these and CFP Board’s other certification marks (the “CFP Board Certification Marks”). The
CFP® certification is voluntary. No federal or state law or regulation requires financial planners to hold the CFP®
certification. You may find more information about the CFP® certification at www.CFP.net .
CFP® professionals have met CFP Board’s high standards for education, examination, experience, and ethics. To become
a CFP® professional, an individual must fulfill the following requirements:
• Education – Earn a bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited college or university and complete CFP Board-
approved coursework at a college or university through a CFP Board Registered Program. The coursework
covers the financial planning subject areas CFP Board has determined are necessary for the competent and
professional delivery of financial planning services, as well as a comprehensive financial plan development
capstone course. A candidate may satisfy some of the coursework requirement through other qualifying
credentials. CFP Board implemented the bachelor’s degree or higher requirement in 2007 and the financial
planning development capstone course requirement in March 2012. Therefore, a CFP® professional who first
became certified before those dates may not have earned a bachelor’s or higher degree or completed a
financial planning development capstone course.
• Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination is designed to assess
an individual’s ability to integrate and apply a broad base of financial planning knowledge in the context of real-
life financial planning situations.
• Experience – Complete 6,000 hours of professional experience related to the personal financial planning
process, or 4,000 hours of apprenticeship experience that meets additional requirements.
• Ethics – Satisfy the Fitness Standards for Candidates for CFP® Certification and Former CFP® Professionals

and Standards”), which sets forth the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements to remain
certified and maintain the right to continue to use the CFP Board Certification Marks:
• Ethics – Commit to complying with CFP Board’s Code and Standards. This includes a commitment to CFP
Board, as part of the certification, to act as a fiduciary, and therefore, act in the best interests of the client, at all
times when providing financial advice and financial planning. CFP Board may sanction a CFP® professional who
does not abide by this commitment, but CFP Board does not guarantee a CFP® professional's services. A client
who seeks a similar commitment should obtain a written engagement that includes a fiduciary obligation to
the client.
• Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education every two years to maintain competence,
demonstrate specified levels of knowledge, skills, and abilities, and keep up with developments in financial
planning. Two of the hours must address the Code and Standards.
