INTRODUCTION
FullCircle Wealth LLC (“FullCircle,” the “Firm,” “We,” or “Us”) is a registered investment
adviser with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. We became registered on March 22,
2013, and have been operating as an investment adviser since then. Our registration as a Registered
Investment Adviser does not imply any level of skill or training. The oral and written
communications We provide you, including this Brochure, are information you can use to evaluate
Us and other advisers, which are factors in your decision to hire Us or to continue maintaining a
relationship with Us. This Brochure provides information about our qualifications and business
practices. If you would like a free copy of our most recent brochure, please contact us at 972-480-
6200 or at www.fullcircle-wealth.com
DESCRIPTION & OWNERSHIP
FullCircle was formed as a limited liability company in December 2012 and is headquartered in
McKinney, Texas. FullCircle’s 100% owner is Brent Sikes.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT SERVICES (“ADVISORY SERVICES”)
We provide financial planning, portfolio management, and pension consulting services, and We
assist with selecting other advisers. Our client base consists of individuals, high-net-worth
individuals, estates, partnerships, charitable organizations, retirement plans, and their participants.
We are a professional investment advisory firm committed to managing assets on a discretionary
or non-discretionary basis. On a discretionary basis, We design, revise, and reallocate custom
portfolios for you. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in specific securities
by notifying Us in writing.
On a non-discretionary basis, We provide periodic recommendations to you, and if such
recommendations are approved, We will ensure that the authorized recommendations are carried
out. Clients must approve all securities transactions prior to implementation.
Our portfolio management program is designed to provide the appropriate asset allocation,
diversification, and risk characteristics consistent with prudent portfolio management. We manage
equity, fixed income, and balanced portfolios using clearly defined investment objectives and
guidelines established in private consultation with each Client. We construct, manage, execute,
and monitor portfolios that meet each Client's unique set of needs. The investments are determined
based on your investment objectives, risk tolerance, net worth, income, age, investment time
horizon, tax situation, and other relevant factors.
We primarily allocate client assets among cash and cash equivalents, individual stocks, bonds,
mutual funds, interval funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), municipal bonds, corporate bonds,
futures and options, alternative investments, and limited partnerships, all of which are considered
asset allocation categories for the client’s investment strategy. Clients may impose reasonable
restrictions on investing in certain securities by notifying Us through written notification.
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 4
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
Our Firm may recommend that certain clients utilize margin in the client’s investment portfolio or
other borrowing and are billed as outlined in Item 5. The Firm’s fees are determined based on the
value of the assets being managed gross of any margin or borrowing.
UNIFIED MANAGED ACCOUNT MODEL PLATFORMS
FullCircle may use third-party investment managers through a unified managed account
platform. We may recommend that you use the services of an unaffiliated overlay manager
that is an SEC registered investment adviser (the “Overlay Manager”).
The Overlay Manager administers unified managed account programs and services. A
unified managed account is a fee-based investment solution that allows multiple
professionally managed investment products to be combined in a single account and
supported by automated services such as rebalancing, performance reporting, and billing.
Unified managed account platforms may also provide functionality to help manage client-
directed restrictions, including restrictions on particular securities and certain social or
industry categories.
Under this program, we recommend one or more unaffiliated third-party investment
managers or model portfolio strategists (each, a “Model Provider”) whose investment
approach we believe is consistent with your financial needs, investment goals, risk
tolerance, and stated investment objectives. We select the applicable model(s) for your
account and monitor the model(s) over time to evaluate whether the strategy and results
remain generally aligned with your goals and objectives.
You grant the Overlay Manager discretionary authority to implement the selected models
in your account, which may include trading, rebalancing, and cash management consistent
with the program parameters and any approved restrictions. We retain discretionary
authority over your account and may replace or terminate the Overlay Manager relationship
if we believe doing so is in your best interest.
In certain instances, Clients will receive the applicable disclosure documents for the
program from Full Circle, including the Overlay Manager’s Form ADV Part 2A and the
relevant privacy notice(s). The Overlay Manager may impose minimum account size
requirements for participation in the program as disclosed in the UMA Agreement, and any
such minimums may be waived at the Overlay Manager’s discretion.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PROVIDED BY ORION ADVISOR SERVICES,
LLC
Our Firm has contracted with Orion Advisor Services, LLC (referred to as “Orion”) to
utilize its technology platforms to support data reconciliation, performance reporting, fee
calculation and billing, research, client database maintenance, quarterly performance
evaluations, payable reports, web site administration, models, trading platforms, and other
functions related to the administrative tasks of managing client accounts. Due to this
arrangement, Orion will have access to client accounts, but Orion will not serve as an
investment advisor to our clients. FullCircle Wealth Advisors and Orion are non-affiliated
companies. Orion charges our Firm an annual fee for each account administered by Orion.
Please note that the advisory fee charged to the client will not increase due to the annual
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 5
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
fee our Firm pays to Orion. The annual fee is paid from the portion of the management fee
retained by our Firm.
NITROGEN
To further fine-tune our understanding of a client’s risk tolerance, We utilize Nitrogen, a
third-party vendor tool, to assist in identifying the client’s risk tolerance.
Nitrogen technology assists financial planners in two critical tasks: (1) measuring the risk
preferences of investors and (2) applying these preference measurements to portfolio
selection. Nitrogen summarizes an investor’s mean-variance risk aversion on a 99-point
scale. In connection with this output, the Nitrogen tool “quantifies” the client’s indicated
investment risk tolerance through the illustration of expected return (plus/minus) and
investment volatility (investment variance), which uses past data to calculate expected
variance.
ERISA ACCOUNTS, PROFIT SHARING 401(K), SEP’S & DISCLOSURE
We may also have other retirement accounts subject to ERISA rules and regulations. In all cases,
an “eligible investment advice arrangement” or advisory agreement will be executed with the
Client.
When We provide investment advice to clients regarding their retirement plan account or
individual retirement account, We are 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. The way We make money creates some conflicts with our Client’s
interests, so We operate under a special rule that requires us to act in our Client’s best interest and
not put our interests ahead of our Clients.
FullCircle may recommend that a Client roll over their retirement plan assets into an account to be
managed by FullCircle. A Client or prospective client 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) roll over 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). If A client or potential client asks us to make a
recommendation from among these choices, We have a conflict of interest in that We have an
incentive to recommend that a Client roll over their retirement plan assets into an account to be
managed by FullCircle, such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest as We will earn a new
(or increase our current) Advisory Fee as a result of the rollover. We address this conflict of interest
by reviewing any such recommendation to ensure it is in the best interest of the Client. No Client
is under any obligation to roll over retirement plan assets to an account We manage.
FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTING SERVICES
If deemed necessary, We may offer financial planning analysis, consulting, and comprehensive
written financial plans in conjunction with our advisory services. Our financial planning analysis
services may include an analysis of only isolated area(s) of your financial affairs, such as estate
planning, retirement planning, any other specific topic, or any other investment and financial
concerns you may have.
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 6
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
The financial plan, as directed by you, may include asset protection, tax planning, business
succession, strategies for exercising stock options, cash flows, education planning, estate planning
and wealth transfer, charitable gifting, long-term care and disability planning, retirement planning,
insurance planning, asset allocation comparisons, and risk management.
We gather the required information through in-depth personal interviews. Information gathered
includes a Client’s current financial status, future goals, and attitudes towards risk. Related
documents supplied by you and a completed Client questionnaire are carefully reviewed, and a
written report is prepared. Implementation of the prepared plan or recommendations is solely at
your discretion, and you will also determine how you want to implement the plan or
recommendations. For plans requiring tax or legal expertise, We encourage you to utilize any
desired tax or legal professional or group of professionals to assist in the implementation.
Over time, as the economic climate and personal circumstances change, you may wish to adjust
your goals, resulting in a change in planning strategy. You can engage Us to prepare a review or
update of your plan. This reappraisal can include updates and projections regarding cash flow, net
worth, tax liabilities and retirement projections, etc.
We provide special services, including participation in the analysis, development, and
implementation of budgeting and cash flow management, coordination and oversight of banking
and investment advisory relationships, negotiations of certain real or personal property purchases,
and other requested projects or services.
EMONEY ADVISOR PLATFORM
We utilize “eMoney Advisor” platforms to provide periodic comprehensive reporting
services that can incorporate all the Client’s investment assets, including those investment
assets that are not part of the assets managed by the Firm (“Excluded Assets”). The Client
and their other advisors who maintain trading authority, not the Firm, shall be exclusively
responsible for the investment performance of the excluded assets.
Unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing, the Firm’s service relative to the excluded
assets is limited to reporting only. Therefore, We shall not be responsible for the investment
performance of the excluded assets. Instead, the Client and the Client’s designated outside
investment professional(s) maintain supervision, monitoring, and trading authority for the
excluded assets. If our Client prefers, the Firm will provide recommendations on any
excluded assets. The Client has no obligation to accept the recommendation, and We shall
not be responsible for any implementation error (timing, trading, etc.) relative to the
excluded assets. The Client may engage us under the terms and conditions of a Consulting
or Investment Advisory Agreement between the Firm and the Client.
eMoney Advisor Platform may also provide access to other types of information, including
financial planning concepts, which should not be construed as the Firm’s personalized
investment advice or recommendations. We shall not be held responsible for any adverse
results a Client may experience if the Client engages in financial planning or other functions
available on the eMoney Advisor Platform without our assistance or oversight.
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 7
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
MUTUAL EVOLVE ADVISEMENT SERVICES
Our Firm has an agreement(s) with brokers/dealers to provide consulting services to Annuity
Brokerage Customers. This consulting arrangement does not include assuming discretionary
authority over Brokerage Customers’ brokerage accounts or monitoring securities. These
consulting services are offered to Brokerage Customers and include a general review of investment
holdings, which may or may not result in our investment adviser representatives making specific
sub-account recommendations or offering general investment advice. Brokerage Customers will
execute a written non-discretionary investment services agreement directly with FullCircle. This
relationship presents conflicts of interest. Potential conflicts are mitigated by Brokerage Customers
consenting to receive investment services from FullCircle; by FullCircle not accepting or billing
for additional compensation on broker dealer assets outside of our non-discretionary services we
provide Mutual Securities, Inc. clients; and by FullCircle not engaging as, or holding itself out to
the public as, a securities broker/dealer. Our Firm is not affiliated, nor are our advisors registered,
with any broker/dealer.
THIRD-PARTY INVESTMENT MANAGER SELECTION SERVICES
FullCircle recommends the services of third-party managers and from time to time, FullCircle will
enter into agreements with individuals and organizations where FullCircle refers clients to third-
party managers. All such agreements will be in writing. The specific terms of each agreement may
differ but will be delivered to each Client.
WRAP FEE PROGRAMS
We do not manage, sponsor, or participate in wrap fee programs.
ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
As of December 31, 2025, our Firm had $257,430,805 in regulatory assets under management,
approximately $252,861,512 of which was managed on a discretionary basis and 4,569,293 on a
non-discretionary basis.
ITEM 5 – FEES AND COMPENSATION
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FEE
Our Advisory Fees are based on the Client’s assets under management and are assessed quarterly
in advance. Fees are calculated based on the account’s ending value on the last trading day of each
calendar quarter. For new accounts or deposits made mid-quarter, the Advisory Fee is prorated
based on the number of days remaining in the quarter. At our discretion, we may waive the
Advisory Fee for the initial quarter of management or for mid-quarter deposits.
By signing this agreement, you authorize us to deduct our Advisory Fees directly from your
account(s). Fees for mid-quarter deposits are prorated and assessed within the same quarter in
which the deposit was made. Advisory Fees will be directly deducted from your account at the
Custodian within thirty (30) days following the end of the quarter.
Advisory Fees charged by FullCircle will never exceed 1.5%, which does not include Third Party
Management programs. Our annual fee is reasonable in relation to the services provided and the
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 8
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
fees charged by other investment advisers offering similar services and programs. We do not have
an account minimum and Advisory Fees are negotiable at our sole discretion in situations deemed
appropriate.
Advisory Fees do not include brokerage commissions, transaction charges, handling fees, third-
party manager fees, custodial fees, overlay fees, service charges, ticket charges, or other similar
charges incurred in connection with transactions for the account.
The custodian will send you a monthly or quarterly account statement reflecting the amount of our
advisory fee. We will verify that the custodian sends account statements to you at least quarterly.
If you do not receive statements, please contact us immediately.
If an account is terminated during a calendar quarter, the client will receive a refund of any prepaid
fees for the portion of the quarter after the termination date.
MUTUAL EVOLVE ADVISEMENT SERVICES FEE
We receive an investment service compensation based on the assets under advisement from
brokerage customers at Mutual Securities, Inc., who have provided written consent to a
broker/dealer to receive the investment services from our Firm and have entered a written non-
discretionary investment service agreement with FullCircle.
The advisement service fee shall be based on a percentage of assets under management (AUM)
reported by independent systems used by Mutual Securities, Inc. The advisement service fee shall
be calculated by multiplying the AUM at the end of a calendar quarter period, times an annualized
rate not exceeding 0.90%. Mutual Securities, Inc. shall pay the advisement service fee to our Firm
on or before thirty (30) days past the end of a calendar quarter period. The first advisement service
fee shall be paid in arrears, after the full calendar quarter period is completed, following the date
of the executed agreement between Mutual Securities, Inc. and FullCircle.
FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTING SERVICES FEE SCHEDULE
Depending on the complexity and scope of a client’s financial situation, we may prepare a financial
plan in connection with our investment advisory services. Financial planning and consulting are
not billed as a separate fee but are included as part of the overall advisory relationship and the fees
described in this brochure.
THIRD-PARTY INVESTMENT MANAGER SELECTION SERVICES
As mentioned in Item 4 – Advisory Business, FullCircle may recommend that all or a portion of
the assets in the Account(s) be managed by a third-party investment adviser, sub-adviser or co-
adviser, UMA manager, platform provider, or overlay manager (“Third-Party Manager”). Third-
Party Manager fees, custodial fees, and overlay fees generally range from 0.10% to 1.50% in total.
Additionally, a 0.10% platform fee may be charged for the Envestnet platform fee. FullCircle only
receives its Advisory Fee and does not take any part of the manager, platform, custodial, and
overlay fees. The total fees collected by FullCircle and the Third-Party Manager will never exceed
3% of total assets under management per year. Generally, FullCircle will use a third-party manager
(portfolio will not always use a third-party manager) on the UMAX platform. The manager’s fee
will be detailed in the Custodians Account Agreement. Fees charged by any Third-Party Managers
are described to the Client in a separate disclosure document.
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 9
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
ADDITIONAL TYPES OF FEES OR EXPENSES
In addition, you may pay fees for custodial services, account maintenance, transaction fees, and
other fees associated with maintaining an account. Clients will typically pay charges imposed
directly by a mutual fund, index fund, or annuity, which shall be disclosed in each relevant
prospectus (i.e., fund management fees, initial or deferred sales charges, mutual fund sales loads,
12b-1 fees, surrender charges, annuity fees, and other fund expenses). FullCircle does not receive
a portion of these fees. You will also pay commissions on advisory account trades. For more
information regarding brokerage and other transaction costs, please see Item 12 - Brokerage
Practices.
Mutual funds and ETFs invested in the account have their internal fees, which are separate and
distinct from the program account fees (for more information on these fees, see the applicable fund
prospectus). Some fund fees include 12b-1 fees, which are internal distribution fees assessed by
the fund, and all or a portion of these fees are paid to the distributor(s) of the funds. The Firm and
your IAR do not retain 12b-1 fees paid by the Funds. In certain instances, there is an opportunity
to be eligible to purchase certain mutual funds and ETFs without incurring transaction charges
subject to certain conditions.
The account fees paid by the client include portions paid to your IAR (“Advisory Fees”), as well
as to the Firm, the custodian, and the third-party money managers selected (“Program Fees”).
Advisory Fees are set independently regardless of the manager selected. Mutual funds and ETFs
invested in the account also have their internal fees (“internal fund expenses”), which are separate
and distinct from the program account fees (for more information on these fees, see the applicable
fund prospectus). Since fees billed to your UMA account are comprised of both Program Fees and
Advisory Fees, IARs may be incentivized to select third-party money managers with lower
Program Fees to manage the overall fee charged to you. When selecting managers and other
portfolio investments, you and your IAR should consider the overall fees and expenses, including
internal fund expenses.
Please refer to The Unified Managed Account Wrap Fee Program Brochure for complete fee
details, including account fee schedule guidelines.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Some of FullCircle’s IARs are licensed insurance agents for various unaffiliated insurance
companies. In such cases, our representatives will be paid commissions or other fees for selling
insurance products they recommend. This presents a conflict of interest in that FullCircle’s IARs
may recommend purchasing insurance products based on the compensation received rather than
on the needs of the Client. For more information, please see Item 5 - Fees and Compensation and
Item 10 - Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations.
As a Client, you are not obligated to act on any of the recommendations of our IARs, nor are you
obligated to effect the transaction through our representatives if you elect to act on the
recommendation.
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 10
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
TERMINATION
The engagement may be terminated by the Client within five (5) business days of signing the
Agreement without penalty or incurring any advisory fees. Management will continue in effect
until terminated by either party by telephone, or confirmed in writing, and any unearned fees will
be refunded to the Client by Adviser on a prorated basis as of the effective date of the termination.
Termination of the engagement will not affect (a) the validity of any action previously taken by
Adviser under this Agreement; (b) liabilities or obligations of the parties from transactions initiated
before termination of this Agreement or (c) Adviser’s obligation to refund Client management fees
up to the date of termination in a timely manner (pro-rated through the date of termination).
Upon termination of this engagement by the Client, Adviser shall perform no functions whatsoever
with respect to the managing of the Account(s), and further management of those account(s) shall
be the sole responsibility of Client. Terminations will not affect liabilities or obligations from
transactions initiated in client account(s) prior to termination.
In the event the client terminates the investment advisory agreement, Adviser will not liquidate
any securities in the account unless instructed by the client to do so. The death or incapacity of the
Client shall not terminate the authority of Adviser granted herein until Adviser shall receive actual
notice of such death or incapacity. Upon such notice Client’s executor, guardian, attorney-in-fact
or other authorized representative must engage Adviser in order for Adviser to continue to service
and monitor the Client’s account(s).
ITEM 6 – PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE
MANAGEMENT
We do not charge performance-based fees nor provide side-by-side management services.
ITEM 7 – TYPES OF CLIENTS
CLIENT BASE
Our client base consists of individuals, high-net-worth individuals, estates, partnerships, charitable
organizations, retirement plans, and their participants.
CONDITIONS FOR ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT
We do not have an imposed a minimum account size to be managed by the Firm. We reserve the
right to negotiate Advisory Fees at our sole discretion.
ITEM 8 – METHODS OF ANALYSIS INVESTMENT
STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS
METHODS OF ANALYSIS & INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 11
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
We appointed Brent Sikes as our Chief Investment Officer to oversee certain investment strategies
and to help document our investment process.
At FullCircle Wealth, We specialize in managing generational wealth for clients nationwide. Our
investment approach is built on the belief that the capital markets offer long-term rewards to
investors, acknowledging the intrinsic link between risk and return. Central to our philosophy is a
personalized understanding of each client's individual goals, values, and financial circumstances.
This knowledge forms the bedrock of our tailored portfolio strategies.
Each client at FullCircle Wealth is unique, and We recognize the diversity of their financial
planning needs. Our team is equipped to craft distinctive portfolios that align with our Client's
specific objectives. Our approach encompasses several key analytical methods:
ASSET ALLOCATION
We strive to determine the ideal balance of equities, fixed income, and cash that aligns with
each client's investment goals and risk tolerance. We also consider incorporating alternative
investments when suitable. It's important to note that asset allocation carries certain risks,
such as the potential to miss out on significant gains in specific securities or sectors.
Additionally, market fluctuations can alter the intended asset balance, necessitating periodic
adjustments to align with the client's objectives.
SELECTION OF INVESTMENT VEHICLES
We employ a variety of investment vehicles, including Stocks, Mutual Funds, Exchange-
Traded Funds (ETFs), and Separately Managed Accounts, to execute our investment
strategy. Each vehicle has unique features and cost structures, which are important client
considerations.
MANAGER SELECTION
Fund managers' experience and historical performance play a crucial role in our selection
process. We monitor selected funds to ensure adherence to their stated investment strategies
and to confirm their ability to invest in different economic conditions. One inherent risk in
selecting managers is the understanding that past performance of securities investments
does not assure future outcomes. Even managers with a history of success may not achieve
similar results moving forward.
MODEL MANAGER ANALYSIS
We evaluate Model Managers, considering their experience, philosophies, and historical
performance. This ongoing assessment includes examining their holdings, strategies, and
risk factors, ensuring alignment with client objectives.
While We strive to develop effective strategies, there are no guarantees of meeting specific
investment goals. Our strategies adapt over time, influenced by various factors, and our
advice and actions may differ among clients with distinct objectives. Furthermore, We are
not obligated to recommend any security that our principals, affiliates, or employees may
choose for their accounts or other clients.
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 12
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
The advice offered by the Firm to Clients is determined by the areas of expertise of the agent
providing the service and the Client’s stated objective. You are advised to notify Us
promptly if there are ever any changes in your financial situation or investment objective or
if you wish to impose reasonable restrictions upon our management services.
If deemed appropriate for your portfolio, the Firm may recommend "alternative
investments.” Alternative investments may include a broad range of underlying assets
including, but not limited to, hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, registered,
publicly traded securities, structured notes, and private real estate investment trusts.
Alternative investments are speculative, not suitable for all Clients, and intended for only
experienced and sophisticated investors who are willing to bear the high risk of the
investment, which can include loss of all or a substantial portion of the investment due to
leveraging, short-selling, or other speculative investment practices; lack of liquidity in that
there may be no secondary market for the fund and none expected to develop; volatility of
returns; potential for restrictions on transferring an interest in the fund; potential lack of
diversification and resulting higher risk due to concentration of trading authority with a
single adviser; absence of information regarding valuations and pricing; potential for delays
in tax reporting; less regulation and often higher fees than other investment options such as
mutual funds. The SEC requires investors to be accredited to invest in these more
speculative alternative investments. Investing in a fund concentrating on a few holdings
may involve heightened risk and greater price volatility.
RISK OF LOSS
Investing in securities involves the risk of loss that Clients should be prepared to bear.
The advice offered by the Firm to Clients is determined by the areas of expertise of the financial
planner providing the service and the Client’s stated objective. Our Clients are advised to notify
the Firm promptly if there are ever any changes in their financial situation or investment objective
or if they wish to impose any reasonable restrictions upon our planning services. If you wish to
impose any reasonable restrictions upon our planning services, you will need to advise Us in
writing of any restrictions.
We do not represent, warrant, or imply that the services or analysis methods employed by Us can
or will predict future results. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Clients should make every effort to understand the risks involved.
The Principal Risks of Investing include, but are not limited to:
• Allocation Risk: Our allocation of investments among different asset classes, such as
equity or fixed-income asset classes, may have a more significant effect on returns when
one class performs more poorly than others.
• Company Risk: When investing in stock positions, there is always a certain level of
company or industry-specific risk inherent in each investment. This is also called
unsystematic risk and can be reduced through appropriate diversification. The risk is that
the company will perform poorly or reduce its value based on factors specific to the
company or its industry. For example, if a company’s employees go on strike or the
company receives unfavorable media attention for its actions, the value of the company
may be reduced.

• Currency Risk: Investments may be subject to currency risk. Overseas investments are
subject to fluctuations in the value of the dollar against the currency of the investment’s
originating country. Currency fluctuations and changes in the exchange rates between
foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar could negatively affect the value of your investments
in foreign securities.
• Credit Risk: Your investments are subject to credit risk. An investment's credit quality
depends on its ability to pay interest on and repay its debt and other obligations. If debt
obligations held by an account are downgraded by rating agencies or go into default, or if
management action, legislation, or other government action reduces the ability of issuers
to pay principal and interest when due, the value of those obligations may decline, and an
account’s value may be reduced. Because the ability of an issuer of a lower-rated or unrated
obligation (including particularly “junk” or “high yield” bonds) to pay principal and
interest when due is typically less certain than for an issuer of a higher-rated obligation,
lower-rated and unrated obligations are generally more vulnerable than higher-rated
obligations to default, to rating downgrades, and to liquidity risk.
• Default Risk: This risk pertains to the ability of a company to service its debt. Ratings
provided by several rating services help to identify those companies with more risk.
Obligations of the U.S. government are said to be free of default risk.
• Equity Risk: Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to
volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their
issuers change. Investments will be subjected to the risk that stock prices may fall over
short or extended periods. Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles, and the
value of equity securities in any portfolio may fluctuate daily. Individual companies may
report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and
developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may decline in response.
These factors will contribute to the volatility and risk of your assets. If you held common
stock, or common stock equivalents, of any given issuer, you would generally be exposed
to greater risk than if you held preferred stocks and debt obligations of the issuer.
• Financial Risk: Many investments contain interests in operating businesses. Excessive
borrowing to finance a company’s business operations decreases 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.
• Foreign Securities Risk: We have the ability to invest in foreign securities, and, from time
to time, a significant percentage of your assets may be composed of foreign investments.
Foreign investments involve greater risk in comparison to domestic investments because
foreign companies/securities may have different auditing, accounting, and financial
reporting standards, may not be subject to the same degree of regulation as US companies,
and may have less publicly available information than U.S. companies; and are often
denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. As with any type of security, you
may limit the % of foreign assets you wish to hold or restrict this asset class altogether.
However, you must be aware that under-investing in these assets may add risks to your
portfolio.
• Focused and Concentrated Portfolio Risks: We will often invest your assets in a smaller
number of securities rather than other broadly diversified investment strategies. Our
approach is often referred to as “focused, concentrated, or non-diversified.” Accordingly,
the money We manage may have more volatility and is often considered to have more risk
than a strategy that invests in a greater number of securities because changes in the value
of a single security may have a more significant effect, either negative or positive on your
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 14
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
overall portfolio value. To the extent that We invest assets in fewer securities or non-
diversified funds that take a focused or concentrated approach, these assets are subject to
greater risk of loss if any of those securities become permanently impaired. You may place
a restriction on this type of portfolio construction at any time during your relationship with
us.
• General Risks: Investments with Us are not bank deposits or insured or guaranteed by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Accordingly, you
may lose money by investing with us. When investments are sold, they may be worth less
than the initial amount paid because the value of investments will fluctuate, reflecting day-
to-day changes in market conditions, interest rates, and several other factors.
• Interest Rate Risk: Investments are subject to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk
that the value of a security will decline because of a change in general interest rates.
Investments subject to interest rate risk will usually decrease in value when interest rates
rise. For example, fixed-income securities with long maturities typically experience a more
pronounced change in value when interest rates change. Specifically, when interest rates
rise, losses are greater.
• Inflation Risk: This is the risk that the value of assets or income will be less in the future
because inflation decreases the value of your money. As inflation increases, your assets'
value (purchasing power) can decline. This risk increases as We invest more of your assets
in fixed-income securities with longer maturities.
• Investment Term Risk: If the Client requires a liquidation of their portfolio during a
period in which the price of the security is low, the Client will not realize as much value as
they would have had the investment had the opportunity to regain its value, as investments
frequently do, or had it been able to be reinvested in another security.
• Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to convert an investment into cash readily.
Liquidity risk exists when investments you may own have light trading volume and cannot
be readily sold on a market. This means you cannot convert the investment into cash
effectually until a market exists in the investment, if ever. For example, Treasury Bills are
highly liquid, while real estate properties are not. Some securities are highly liquid, while
others are highly illiquid. Illiquid investments carry more risk because it can be difficult to
sell them.
• Management Risk: While FullCircle manages Client investment portfolios based on
FullCircle’s experience, research, and proprietary methods, the value of Client investment
portfolios will change daily based on the performance of the underlying mutual funds and
other securities in which they are invested. Accordingly, Client investment portfolios are
subject to the risk that FullCircle allocates assets to asset classes adversely affected by
unanticipated market movements and that FullCircle’s specific investment choices could
underperform their relevant indexes.
• Market Risk: Markets can go up or down based on various news releases or for no
understandable reason at all. This sometimes means that the price of specific securities
could go up or down without real reason and may take some time to recover any lost value.
Stock and bond markets often trade in random price patterns, and prices can fall over
sustained periods. The value of the investments will fluctuate as the financial markets
fluctuate. This could result in your account value(s) declining over short or long-term
periods. Adding additional securities does not help to minimize this risk since all securities
may be affected by market fluctuations. This is also referred to as systemic risk.
• Political Risk: Most investments have a global component, even domestic stocks. Political
events anywhere in the world may have unforeseen consequences for markets around the
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 15
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
world.
• Pre-payment Risk: Investments may be subject to pre-payment risk. Pre-payment risk
occurs when a security issuer can repay the principal before maturity. Securities subject to
pre-payment can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment
and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. In addition,
the potential impact of pre-payment features on the price of a security can be difficult to
predict and result in greater volatility.
• Regulatory Risk: Changes in laws and regulations from any government can change the
value of a given company and its accompanying securities. Certain industries are more
susceptible to government regulation. Changes in zoning, tax structure, or laws impact the
return on these investments.
• Special Situation Risk: We may invest your assets in special situations. Investments that
may involve greater risks when compared to other strategies due to a variety of factors.
Expected changes may not occur, or transactions may take longer than initially anticipated,
resulting in lower returns than contemplated at the time of investment. Additionally, failure
to anticipate changes in the circumstances affecting these types of investments may result
in permanent loss of capital, where We may be unable to recoup some or all its investment.
There are also risks related to the recommendation of specific types of securities. A
portfolio may comprise stocks, bonds, preferred securities, publicly traded partnerships,
ETFs, mutual funds, separately managed accounts, listed options on ETFs and stocks, cash
or cash equivalents, and select alternative investments. Among the risks are the following:
• Alternative Risk: Alternative investments include other additional risks. Lock-up periods
and other terms obligate Clients to commit their capital investment for a minimum period,
typically no less than one or two years and sometimes up to 10 or more years. Illiquidity is
considered a substantial risk and will restrict the ability of a Client to liquidate an
investment early, regardless of the success of the investment. Alternative investments are
difficult to value within a Client’s total portfolio. There may be limited availability of
suitable benchmarks for performance comparison; historical performance data may also be
limited.
In some cases, there may be a lack of transparency and regulation, providing an additional
layer of risk. Some alternative investments may involve the use of leverage and other
speculative techniques. As a result, some alternative investments may carry substantial
additional risks, resulting in the loss of some or all the investment. Using leverage and
certain other strategies will result in adverse tax consequences for tax-exempt investors,
such as the possibility of unrelated business taxable income, as defined under the US
Internal Revenue Code.
• Bond/Fixed-Income Risk: We may invest portions of Client assets directly into fixed
income instruments, such as bonds and notes, or may invest in pooled investment funds
that invest in bonds and notes. While investing in fixed-income instruments, either directly
or through pooled investment funds, is generally less volatile than investing in stock
(equity) markets, fixed-income investments, nevertheless, are subject to risks. These risks
include, without limitation, interest rate risks, credit risks, or maturity risks (as discussed
above). Economic and other market developments can adversely affect fixed-income
securities markets in Canada, the United States, Europe, and elsewhere. At times,
participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain
issuers to make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about
the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate
an orderly market, which may cause increased volatility in those debt securities and/or
markets.
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 16
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
• ETF and Mutual Fund Risk: When investing in an ETF or mutual fund, you will bear
additional expenses based on your pro rata share of the ETF’s or mutual fund’s operating
expenses, including the potential duplication of management fees. The risk of owning an
ETF or mutual fund generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities the ETF
or mutual fund holds. You will also incur brokerage costs when purchasing ETFs. The
returns from the types of securities in which an ETF invests may underperform returns
from the various general securities markets or different asset classes. The securities in the
underlying indexes may underperform fixed-income investments and stock market
investments that track other markets, segments, and sectors. Different types of securities
tend to go through cycles of out-performance and underperformance in comparison to the
general securities markets.
• Futures, Options, and Derivatives Investment Risk: Such strategies present unique
risks. For example, should interest or exchange rates or the prices of securities or financial
indices move in an unexpected manner, the Firm may not achieve the desired benefits of
the futures, options, and derivatives or may realize losses. Thus, the client would be in a
worse position than if such strategies had not been used. In addition, the correlation
between movements in the price of the securities and securities hedged or used for cover
will not be perfect and could produce unanticipated losses. The purchaser of a put or call
option can lose all the cost of the option (the premium). Most options expire “out of the
money,” meaning the purchaser will lose his or her premium on most options purchased.
Selling puts and/or calls in a particular equity does not affect the downside risk of owning
that equity, as described in “Equity (Stock) Market Risks,” above. There are additional
significant risks involved in selling uncovered or “naked” puts or calls, that is, puts or calls
on securities in which you as the Client do not already own an underlying position in the
security.
• Junk Bond/High-Yield Security Risk: We may invest assets in Junk Bonds or High-
Yield, lower-rated securities. Investments in fixed-income securities that are rated below
Investment grade can be subject to a greater risk of loss of principal and interest than
investments in higher-rated fixed-income securities. The market for high-yield securities
may be less liquid than the market for higher-rated securities. High-yield securities are also
generally considered to be subject to greater market risk than higher-rated securities. The
capacity of issuers of high-yield securities to pay interest and repay principal is more likely
to weaken than that of higher-rated securities issuers in times of deteriorating economic
conditions or rising interest rates.
• Large-Capitalization Stock Risk: We may invest assets in large-sized companies.
Investment strategies focusing on large-cap companies may underperform other equity
investment strategies as large cap companies may not experience sustained periods of
growth in the mature product markets in which they operate.
• Small to Mid-Capitalization Stock Risk: We may invest assets in small to medium-sized
companies. Investment strategies focusing on small- and mid-cap stocks involve more risk
than strategies focused on larger more established companies because small- and mid-cap
companies may have smaller revenue, narrower product lines, less management depth,
smaller market share, fewer financial resources, and less competitive strength. Shares of
small to medium-sized companies may have more volatile share prices. Furthermore, the
securities of small to medium companies often have less market liquidity and their share
prices can react with more volatility to changes in the general marketplace.
• Socially Responsible Investing & ESG Risk: Clients utilizing responsible investing
strategies and environmental, social responsibility, and corporate governance (ESG)
factors may underperform strategies that do not utilize responsible investing and ESG
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 17
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
considerations. Responsible investing and ESG strategies may operate by excluding certain
issuers' investments or by selecting investments based on compliance with factors such as
ESG. This strategy may exclude certain sectors or industries from a Client’s portfolio,
potentially negatively affecting the Client’s investment performance if the excluded sector
or industry outperforms. Responsible investing and ESG are subjective by nature. Our Firm
may rely on analysis and ‘scores’ provided by third parties in determining whether an issuer
meets our Firm’s standards for inclusion or exclusion. A Client’s perception may differ
from our Firm or a third party on how to judge an issuer's adherence to responsible
investing principles.
ITEM 9 – DISCIPLINARY ITEM
Registered Investment Advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of the Firm or the integrity of our
management.
We do not have any material facts about legal or disciplinary events that are material to your
evaluation of the integrity of the Firm, our advisors, or our financial planners to disclose.
ITEM 10 – OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND
AFFILIATIONS
FINANCIAL INDUSTRY AFFILIATIONS
FullCircle is not registered as and does not have an application pending to register as a broker-
dealer. Furthermore, FullCircle is not registered as, and does not have applications pending to
register as, a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading
adviser, nor are our supervised persons registered or have applications pending to register as
associated persons thereof.
FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES
Our IARs are licensed insurance agents appointed by various life, health, and disability insurance
companies, none of which are affiliates of FullCircle Wealth. If you elect to buy insurance through
them, the representatives will receive a commission from the insurance sales, including life,
accident, disability, and fixed annuities. This presents a conflict of interest because they will
receive a commission for these services, which is separate from our direct asset management,
financial planning, and other services. It also presents a conflict of interest, giving them an
incentive to recommend products based on the commission amount received rather than on the
client’s needs. We manage this conflict of interest by requiring all supervised persons who are
licensed to offer insurance products to our clients to ensure that the recommendation to purchase
insurance is in the client’s best interest. In addition, We require all supervised persons who are
licensed to offer insurance products to our clients to ensure that (1) the issuing insurer reviews the
potential sale of any products to determine adherence to applicable insurance suitability standards,
(2) all IARs seek prior approval of any outside employment activity so that We may ensure that
any conflicts of interest in such activities are properly disclosed, and (3) all IARs fully disclose to
a client when a particular transaction will result in the receipt of commissions or other associated
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 18
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
fees. They have no single agreement with any agency or company but will seek out the products
of any company, agency, or brokerage that may have products fitting our Client's needs. You are
under no obligation to purchase insurance products through our representatives. See also Item 5 –
Fees and Compensation, for a thorough discussion of the conflicts of interest presented by this
relationship.
THIRD-PARTY MANAGERS
FullCircle directs Clients to various third-party managers. FullCircle has a conflict of interest in
recommending third-party managers with a relationship with FullCircle. There may be other third-
party managers that may be suitable. We do not have a relationship, and that may be more or less
costly. FullCircle manages this conflict by reviewing the suitability of investments for each Client
and by maintaining its written policies and procedures. FullCircle will not recommend using a
third-party manager unless the investment adviser is registered/notice filed or exempt from
registration/notification in the Client’s home state. See Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other
Compensation for more information.
ITEM 11 – CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST
IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRAINING
CODE OF ETHICS
We have adopted a Code of Ethics Policy to prohibit conflicts of interest from personal trading by
our advisory personnel and have established standards of conduct expected of our advisory
personnel. We have outlined in the Code of Ethics Policy statements of general principles, the
required course of conduct, reporting obligations, and review and enforcement of the Code of
Ethics Policy. We will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics Policy to our Clients or prospective
clients upon written request.
PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS & PERSONAL
TRADING
We do not recommend to Clients or buy or sell for Client accounts securities in which We or a
related person have a material financial interest. Our Advisory Agents will buy or sell for
themselves securities that they also recommend to you. These investment products will be bought
and sold on the same basis as you buy and sell them. We will transact your transactions and
business before our own when similar securities are bought or sold. In all instances, the positions
would be so small as to have no impact on the pricing or performance of the security. We will do
everything possible to mitigate these conflicts. Records of all advisory associates’ proprietary
trading activities are reviewed and kept by Us. We and our advisory agents will act in a fiduciary
manner, understand the prohibitions against using of any insider information, and will always act
in your best interest.
ITEM 12 – BROKERAGE PRACTICES
Generally, We recommend that our clients utilize Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services
("Schwab"), a registered broker-dealer and member of SIPC, as the qualified Custodian. We are
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 19
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
independently owned and operated and is unaffiliated with Schwab. Schwab will hold Client assets
in a brokerage account and buy and sell securities when the Firm instructs them.
While the Firm recommends that Clients use Schwab as a Custodian, Clients must decide whether
to do so and open accounts with Schwab by entering into account agreements directly with them.
The Client opens the accounts with Schwab. The accounts will always be held in the Client's name
and never in the Firm’s.
HOW OUR FIRM SELECTS CUSTODIAN-BROKER
We seek to recommend a Custodian Broker who will hold Client assets and execute the
transactions on terms that are, overall, most advantageous compared to other available providers
and their services. We consider a wide range of factors, including, among others:
• Combination of transaction execution and asset custody services (generally without a
separate fee for custody).
• Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for Client accounts).
• Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers, check
requests, bill payments, etc.).
• The breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-
traded funds (ETFs), etc.).
• Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment decisions.
• Quality of services.
• Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, other fees, etc.) and
willingness to negotiate the prices.
• Reputation, financial strength, and stability.
• Prior service to the Firm and our other Clients.
Other products and services that benefit the Firm are available, as discussed below (see “Products
and Services Available To Us From Schwab”).
CLIENT BROKERAGE & CUSTODY COSTS
Schwab maintains and generally does not charge separately for clients' accounts for custody
services. However, Schwab receives compensation by charging ticket charges or other fees on
trades it executes or settling into Clients' Schwab accounts. In addition to commissions, Schwab
charges a flat dollar amount as a "prime broker" or "trade away" fee for each trade that the Firm
has executed by a different broker-dealer, but where the securities bought or the funds from the
securities sold are deposited (settled) into a Client’s Schwab account. These fees are in addition to
the ticket charges or compensation the Client pays the executing broker-dealer. Because of this,
the Firm has Schwab execute most trades for Client accounts to minimize trading costs. We
determined that having Schwab execute most trades is consistent with our duty to seek the "best
execution" of Client trades. Best execution means the most favorable terms for a transaction based
on all relevant factors, including those listed above (see How We Select Custodian-Broker).
PRODUCTS & SERVICES AVAILABLE TO US FROM SCHWAB
Schwab Advisor Services™ (formerly called Schwab Institutional®) provides independent
investment advisory Firms and Clients with access to its institutional brokerage, trading, custody,
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 20
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
reporting, and related services, many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail
customers. Schwab also makes available various support services. Some of those services help us
manage or administer our Clients’ accounts; others help us manage and grow our business.
Schwab’s support services are generally available on an unsolicited basis and at no charge to the
Firm. These are typically considered soft dollar benefits because there is an incentive to do
business with Schwab. Receiving soft dollar benefits creates a conflict of interest. We have
established policies in this regard to mitigate any conflicts of interest. We believe our selection of
Schwab as Custodian-Broker is in the Clients' best interests. We will always act in the best interest
of our Clients and act as fiduciary in carrying out services to Clients. The following is a more
detailed description of Schwab’s support services:
SERVICES THAT BENEFIT OUR CLIENTS
Schwab's institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products,
execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client assets. The investment products
available through Schwab include some We might not otherwise have access to or would require
a significantly higher minimum initial investment by our Clients. Schwab’s services described in
this paragraph generally benefit our Clients and their accounts.
SERVICES THAT MAY NOT DIRECTLY BENEFIT OUR CLIENTS
Schwab also makes other products and services available that benefit the Firm but may not directly
benefit our Clients or their accounts. These products and services assist the Firm in managing and
administering our Clients’ accounts. They include investment research, both Schwab’s own and
that of third parties. We may use this research to service all or a substantial number of our Client's
accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab. In addition to investment research,
Schwab also makes available software and other technology that:
• Provides access to Client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account
statements).
• Facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple Client accounts.
• Provide pricing and other market data.
• Facilitate payment of our fees from our Clients’ accounts.
• Assisted with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and Client reporting.
SERVICES THAT GENERALLY BENEFIT ONLY US
Schwab also offers other services to help the Firm manage and further develop its business
enterprise.
These services include:
• Educational conferences and events
• Consulting on technology, compliance, legal, and business needs
• Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession
• Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers
Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party
vendors to provide the services to the Firm. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for some
of these services or pay all or a part of a third party’s fees. Schwab may also provide the Firm with
other benefits, such as occasional business entertainment for our personnel.
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 21
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
OUR INTEREST IN SCHWAB’S SERVICES
The availability of these services from Schwab benefits the Firm because We do not have to
produce or purchase them. These services are not contingent upon the Firm committing any
specific amount of business to Schwab in trading commissions. We believe our selection of
Schwab as Custodian and Broker is in our Client’s best interests.
Some of the products, services, and other benefits provided by Schwab benefit the Firm and may
not benefit our Client accounts. Our recommendation or requirement that you place assets in
Schwab's custody may be based, in part, on the benefits Schwab provides to the Firm or our
Agreement to maintain certain Assets Under Management at Schwab and not solely on the nature,
cost, or quality of custody and execution services provided by Schwab.
We place trades for our Clients' accounts subject to its duty to seek the best execution and other
fiduciary duties. Schwab's execution quality may be different from that of other broker-dealers.
We do not routinely recommend, request, or require that the Client direct us to execute the
transactions through a specified Custodian. Additionally, the Firm typically does not permit the
Client to direct brokerage. We place trades for Client accounts subject to our duty to seek the best
execution and other fiduciary duties.
We will aggregate trades for ourselves or our associated persons with your trades, providing that
the following conditions are met:
• Our policy for the aggregation of transactions shall be fully disclosed separately to our
existing Clients (if any) and the broker/dealer(s) through which such transactions will be
placed.
• We will only aggregate transactions if We believe that aggregation is consistent with our
duty to seek the best execution (which includes the duty to seek the best price) for the
Client and is consistent with the terms of our investment advisory agreement.
• No advisory Client will be favored over any other Client; each Client that participates in
an aggregated order will participate at the average share price for all transactions in each
security on a given business day, with transaction costs based on each Client's participation
in the transaction.
We will prepare a written statement (“Allocation Statement”) specifying the participating Client
accounts and how to allocate the order among those Clients.
If the aggregated order is filled in its entirety, it will be allocated among Clients per the allocation
statement; if the order is partially filled, the accounts that did not receive the previous trade's
positions should be "first in line" to receive the next allocation.
Notwithstanding the preceding, the order may be allocated on a basis different from that specified
if all Client accounts receive fair and equitable treatment. The reason for the difference in
allocation will be documented and reviewed by the Firm’s Compliance Officer. The Firm’s books
and records will separately reflect the aggregated orders and the securities held by and bought for
each client account.
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 22
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
• We will not receive additional compensation or remuneration of any kind because of the
proposed aggregation, and
Individual advice and treatment will be accorded to each advisory Client.
•
BROKERAGE FOR CLIENT REFERRALS
We do not receive Client referrals from any Custodian or third party in exchange for using that
broker-dealer or third party.
AGGREGATION & ALLOCATION OF TRANSACTIONS
We may aggregate transactions if We believe that aggregation is consistent with the duty to seek
the best execution for its Clients and is consistent with the disclosures made to Clients and terms
defined in the Investment Advisory Agreement. No Client will be favored over any other Client.
Each account in an aggregated order will participate at the average share price (per Custodian) for
all transactions in that security on a given business day.
If We do not receive a complete fill for an aggregated order, We will allocate the order on a pro-
rata basis. If We determine that a pro-rata allocation is not appropriate under the circumstances.
We will base the allocation on other relevant factors, which may include:
• When only a small percentage of the order is executed, with respect to purchase allocations,
allocations may be given to accounts high in cash.
• Concerning sale allocations, allocations may be given to accounts low in cash.
• We may allocate shares to the account with the smallest order, to the smallest position, or
to an account that is out of line concerning security or sector weightings relative to other
portfolios with similar mandates.
•
•
• We may allocate one account when that account has limitations in its investment guidelines
prohibiting it from purchasing other securities. We expect to produce similar investment
results, and other accounts can purchase that in the block.
If an account reaches an investment guideline limit and cannot participate in an allocation,
We may reallocate shares to other accounts. For example, this may be due to unforeseen
changes in an account's assets after placing an order.
If a pro-rata allocation of a potential execution would result in a de minimis allocation in
one or more account(s), We may exclude the account(s) from the allocation.
• We will document the reasons for any deviation from a pro-rata allocation.
In certain cases, client requests or specific needs will trigger an unplanned transaction in a security
where an aggregate transaction occurred previously during the day. Under these circumstances,
client transactions will be excluded from the block transaction and ultimately receive differing
pricing.
TRADE ERRORS
We implemented procedures designed to prevent trade errors; however, the Firm cannot always
avoid Client trade errors.
Consistent with the Firm's fiduciary duty, it is the Firm’s policy to correct trade errors in a manner
that is in the Client's best interest. In cases where the Client causes the trade error, the Client will
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 23
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
be responsible for any loss resulting from the correction. Depending on the specific circumstances
of the trade error, the Client may not be able to receive any gains generated due to the error
correction. In all situations where the Client does not cause the trade error, the Client will be made
whole, and We would absorb any loss resulting from the trade error if the Firm caused the error.
If the Custodian causes the error, the Custodian will cover all trade error costs. If an investment
error results in a gain when correcting the trade, the gain will be donated to charity. We will never
benefit or profit from trade errors.
DIRECTED BROKERAGE
We do not routinely recommend, request, or require that the Client direct us to execute the
transaction through a specified broker-dealer. Additionally, the Firm typically does not permit the
Client to direct brokerage. We place trades for Client accounts subject to our duty to seek the best
execution and other fiduciary duties.
A retirement or ERISA plan client may direct all or part of portfolio transactions for its account
through a specific broker or dealer to obtain goods or services on behalf of the plan. Such direction
is permitted provided that the goods and services provided are reasonable expenses of the plan
incurred in the ordinary course of its business for which it otherwise would be obligated and
empowered to pay. ERISA prohibits directed brokerage arrangements when the goods or services
purchased are not for the exclusive benefit of the plan. Consequently, We will request that plan
sponsors who direct plan brokerage provide us with a letter documenting that this arrangement
will be for the exclusive benefit of the plan.
ITEM 13 – REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Account reviews will be provided no less than annually or at the request of the Client. Reviews
may be warranted more frequently due to tax law changes, market changes, market conditions, or
personal circumstances. Reviews initiated by you may be for personal objectives or any reason
you desire. The accounts are reviewed for continued alignment of portfolios with investment
objectives and risk tolerance. Brent Sikes, Managing Member and Owner, will conduct the
reviews.
On a monthly or quarterly basis, statements, confirmations, and/or performance reports will be
sent from financial services institutions/firms with which you transact business. These firms may
include, and are not limited to, brokerages, investment companies, insurance companies, trust
companies, other registered investment advisors, banks, and credit unions. You will receive written
account statements from these entities and not the Firm.
As part of our professional service and as a courtesy, you may occasionally receive written
performance reports detailing the value (as of a specified date), of each position, asset allocation,
rate of return, aggregate account value, and other pertinent information. We may assist you in
interpreting and/or compiling statements/reports and transferring relevant information onto the
appropriate place on your financial statements as part of the review process. Clients should
compare the account statements received directly from their custodians with our statements.

ITEM 14 – CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
BROKERAGE PRACTICES
As disclosed under Item 12 Brokerage Practices, we participate in the Custodian’s institutional
customer programs, and we may recommend a Custodian to our Clients for custody and brokerage
services. There is no direct link between our participation in the program and the investment advice
we give to our Clients. However, we receive economic benefits through our participation in the
program that is typically not available to any other independent advisors participating in the
program. These benefits include the following products and services (provided without cost or at
a discount):
• Receipt of duplicate Client statements and confirmations.
• Research-related products and tools.
• Consulting services.
• Access to a trading desk serving adviser participants.
• Access to block trading (which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions for
execution and then allocate the appropriate shares to Client accounts);
• The ability to have advisory fees deducted directly from Client accounts.
• Access to an electronic communications network for Client order entry and account
information.
• Access to mutual funds with no transaction fees and certain institutional money Managers.
• Discounts on compliance, marketing, research, technology, and practice management
products or services provided to us by third-party vendors.
Custodians may also have paid for business consulting and professional services received by some
of our IARs. Some of the products and services made available by Custodians through the program
may benefit us but may not benefit your account. These products or services may assist us in
managing and administering Client accounts, including accounts not maintained at our
recommended Custodian. Other services made available by the Custodian are intended to help us
manage and further develop our business enterprise. The benefits our Firm or our IARs receive
through participation in the program do not depend on the amount of brokerage transactions
directed to the Custodian. Due to these arrangements, our Client does not pay more for assets
maintained at Schwab. As part of our fiduciary duties to Clients, we always endeavor to put our
Client's interests first. Clients should be aware, however, that receiving economic benefits from
our Firm or our IARs in and of itself creates a conflict of interest because the cost of these services
would otherwise be borne directly by us. These arrangements could indirectly influence our choice
of Custodian for custody and brokerage services. Clients should consider these conflicts of interest
when selecting a Custodian. The products and services provided by the Custodian, how they
benefit us, and the related conflicts of interest are described above.
ITEM 15 – CUSTODY
FullCircle has custody of client funds and securities because of our ability to deduct fees from
clients’ accounts that are authorized in the Client Services Agreement between clients and
FullCircle. We also have custody due to our standing authority to make third-party transfers on
FULLCIRCLE WEALTH - PAGE 25
ADV PART 2A BROCHURE v.2 | 3.2026
behalf of our Clients who have granted Us this authority. This authority is granted to Us by the
Client through a standing letter of authorization (“SLOA”) established by the Client with his or
her qualified custodian. The SLOA authorizes the Firm to disburse funds to one or more third
parties specifically designated by the Client pursuant to the terms of the SLOA and can be changed
or revoked by the Client at any time. We have implemented procedures to comply with the
requirements outlined by the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in its February 21, 2017
No-Action Letter to the Investment Adviser Association. Further, We require that a qualified
custodian hold Client assets. The Brokerage Practices section fully describes Information about
the custodian We recommend (Item 12).
As noted above, your funds and securities will be physically maintained with a “qualified
custodian” as required under Rule 206(4)-2 under the Investment Adviser Act. Your accounts for
both securities and funds will be maintained at a designated qualified custodian and clearing firm.
Official account statements are sent directly to Clients from their respective custodians. Clients
should carefully review those statements for accuracy and compare them with any account
statements received from us.
ITEM 16 – INVESTMENT DISCRETION
We accept discretionary authority in managing your portfolio and periodic re-balancing to the asset
class target percentages as outlined in your Client Services Agreement, except with respect to
payment of the Firm's Fees. This discretionary authority includes hiring and firing third-party
managers and reallocating assets among them. Clients may, in writing, impose reasonable
restrictions on FullCircle’s discretionary authority on the investment of their assets, including
investing in certain securities or type of securities. In the exercise of this authority, We are fully
authorized and empowered to place orders to brokers, dealers, mutual funds, with respect to the
purchase, sale, exchange, disposition, or liquidation of any assets held in your portfolio. In cases
in which your assets are managed via third-party managers via the Custodial platform, you also
authorize us, without prior consultation, to reallocate assets among managers and to hire,
terminate, or replace managers.
ITEM 17 – VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
Our Firm cannot vote for Client securities. Clients will receive proxies or other solicitations
directly from the Custodian or a transfer agent. Clients are responsible for obtaining and voting
proxies for all securities maintained in their portfolios. We may provide advice to you regarding
your voting of proxies. Clients can contact our Firm with any questions or concerns about a
particular solicitation.
Our Firm does not advise or instruct Clients on whether to participate as a member of class action
lawsuits and will not automatically file claims on the Client’s behalf. However, if a Client notifies
us that they wish to participate in a class action, we will provide the Client with transaction
information about the Client’s account that is required to file a proof of claim in a class action.

ITEM 18 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We do not require or solicit pre-payment of more than $1,200 in fees per Client six months or more
in advance. We do not have any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair the ability
to meet contractual or fiduciary obligations.
We have not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition during the past ten years.
