Item 4: Advisory Business
Description of Advisory Firm
Future You Wealth, LLC is registered as an Investment Adviser with the SEC. We were founded in November
2019. Daniel Ryan Sterling is the principal owner of FYW. FYW currently reports $ 177,758,719 in discretionary
Assets Under Management and no non-discretionary Assets Under Management. Assets Under Management were
calculated as of December 31, 2024.
Types of Advisory Services
Investment Management Services
We are in the business of managing individually tailored investment portfolios. Our firm provides continuous advice
to a Client regarding the investment of Client funds based on the individual needs of the Client. Through personal
discussions in which goals and objectives based on a Client's particular circumstances are established, we develop
a Client's personal investment policy or an investment plan with an asset allocation target and create and manage a
portfolio based on that policy and allocation targets. We will also review and discuss a Client’s prior investment
history, as well as family composition and background.
Account supervision is guided by the stated objectives of the Client (e.g., maximum capital appreciation, growth,
income, or growth, and income), as well as tax considerations. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on
investing in certain securities, types of securities, or industry sectors. Fees pertaining to this service are outlined in
Item 5 of this brochure.
Ongoing Financial Planning
This service involves working one-on-one with a planner over an extended period of time and is included as a part
of our investment management services at no additional cost.
Upon desiring a comprehensive plan, a Client will be taken through establishing their goals and values around
money. They will be required to provide information to help complete the following areas of analysis: net worth,
cash flow, employee benefit, retirement planning, insurance, investments, college planning, and estate planning.
Once the Client's information is reviewed, their plan will be built and analyzed, and then the findings, analysis and
potential changes to their current situation will be reviewed with the Client. Clients subscribing to this service will
receive a written or an electronic report, providing the Client with a detailed financial plan designed to achieve his
or her stated financial goals and objectives. If a follow-up meeting is required, we will meet at the Client's
convenience. The plan and the Client's financial situation and goals will be monitored throughout the year and
follow-up phone calls and emails will be made to the Client to confirm that any agreed upon action steps have been
carried out. On an annual basis, there will be a full review of this plan to ensure its accuracy and ongoing
appropriateness. Any needed updates will be implemented at that time.
In general, the financial plan will address any or all of the following areas of concern. The Client and advisor will
work together to select specific areas to cover. These areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
● Cash Flow and Debt Management: We will conduct a review of your income and expenses to determine your
current surplus or deficit along with advice on prioritizing how any surplus should be used or how to reduce
expenses if they exceed your income. Advice may also be provided on which debts to pay off first based on
factors such as the interest rate of the debt and any income tax ramifications. We may also recommend what
4
we believe to be an appropriate cash reserve that should be considered for emergencies and other financial
goals, along with a review of accounts (such as money market funds) for such reserves, plus strategies to save
desired amounts.
● College Savings: Includes projecting the amount that will be needed to achieve college or other post-secondary
education funding goals, along with advice on ways for you to save the desired amount. Recommendations as
to savings strategies are included, and, if needed, we will review your financial picture as it relates to eligibility
for financial aid or the best way to contribute to grandchildren (if appropriate).
● Financial Goals: We will help Clients identify financial goals and develop a plan to reach them. We will
identify what you plan to accomplish, what resources you will need to make it happen, how much time you will
need to reach the goal, and how much you should budget for your goal.
● Investment Analysis: This may involve developing an asset allocation strategy to meet Clients’ financial goals
and risk tolerance, providing information on investment vehicles and strategies, reviewing employee stock
options, as well as assisting you in establishing your own investment account at a selected broker/dealer or
custodian. The strategies and types of investments we may recommend are further discussed in Item 8 of this
brochure.
● Retirement Planning: Our retirement planning services typically include projections of your likelihood of
achieving your financial goals, typically focusing on financial independence as the primary objective. For
situations where projections show less than the desired results, we may make recommendations, including those
that may impact the original projections by adjusting certain variables (e.g., working longer, saving more,
spending less, taking more risk with investments).
●
If you are near retirement or already retired, advice may be given on appropriate distribution strategies to
minimize the likelihood of running out of money or having to adversely alter spending during your retirement
years.
● Risk Management: A risk management review includes an analysis of your exposure to major risks that could
have a significant adverse impact on your financial picture, such as premature death, disability, property and
casualty losses, or the need for long‐term care planning. Advice may be provided on ways to minimize such
risks and about weighing the costs of purchasing insurance versus the benefits of doing so and, likewise, the
potential cost of not purchasing insurance (“self‐insuring”).
Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
We offer the same suite of services to all of our Clients. However, specific Client financial plans and their
implementation are dependent upon the Client Investment Policy Statement which outlines each Client’s current
situation and is used to construct a Client specific plan to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches restrictions,
needs, and targets.
Wrap Fee Programs
We do not participate in wrap fee programs.

Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Please note, unless a Client has received the firm’s Disclosure Brochure at least 48 hours prior to signing the
investment advisory contract, the investment advisory contract may be terminated by the Client within five (5)
business days of signing the contract without incurring any advisory fees. How we are paid depends on the type of
advisory service we are performing. Please review the fee and compensation information below.
Investment Management Services
Our standard advisory fee is based on the market value of the assets under management and is calculated as follows:
Account Value
Annual Advisory Fee
Below $500,000
0.90%
$500,000 - $999,999
0.80%
$1,000,000 and $2,499,999
0.70%
$2,500,000 - $4,999,999
0.60%
$5,000,000 - $9,,999,999
0.50%
$10,000,000 and Above
0.40%
The annual fees are negotiable, pro-rated and paid in arrears on a quarterly basis. The advisory fee is a tiered fee
and is calculated by assessing the percentage rates using the predefined levels of assets as shown in the above chart
and applying the fee to the account value as of the last day of the quarter.
Advisory fees are directly debited from Client accounts. Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter
will be charged a pro-rated fee based on the amount of time remaining in the billing period. An account may be
terminated with written notice at least 30 calendar days in advance. Since fees are paid in arrears, no refund will
be needed upon termination of the account.
Other Types of Fees and Expenses
Our fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses which may
be incurred by the Client. Clients may incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, and other third parties
such as custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer, and electronic fund
fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Mutual fund and exchange-traded
funds also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund's prospectus. Such charges, fees, and
commissions are exclusive of and in addition to our fee, and we shall not receive any portion of these commissions,
fees, and costs.
Item 12 further describes the factors that we consider in selecting or recommending broker-dealers for Client’s
transactions and determining the reasonableness of their compensation (e.g., commissions).
We do not accept compensation for the sale of securities or other investment products including asset-based sales
charges or service fees from the sale of mutual funds.
6
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-
Side Management
We do not offer performance-based fees and do not engage in side-by-side management.
Item 7: Types of Clients
We provide financial planning and portfolio management services to individuals, high net-worth individuals and
charitable organizations.
We do not have a minimum size for Investment Management or Financial Planning Services.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment
Strategies and Risk of Loss
Our primary method of investment analysis is fundamental analysis.
Fundamental analysis involves analyzing individual companies and their industry groups, such as a company’s
financial statements, details regarding the company’s product line, the experience, and expertise of the company’s
management, and the outlook for the company’s industry. The resulting data is used to measure the true value of
the company’s stock compared to the current market value. The risk of fundamental analysis is that the information
obtained may be incorrect and the analysis may not provide an accurate estimate of earnings, which may be the
basis for a stock’s value. If securities prices adjust rapidly to new information, utilizing fundamental analysis may
not result in favorable performance.
Passive Investment Management
We primarily practice passive investment management. Passive investing involves building portfolios that are
comprised of various distinct asset classes. The asset classes are weighted in a manner to achieve the desired
relationship between correlation, risk, and return. Funds that passively capture the returns of the desired asset classes
are placed in the portfolio. The funds that are used to build passive portfolios are typically index mutual funds or
exchange-traded funds.
Passive investment management is characterized by low portfolio expenses (i.e. the funds inside the portfolio have
low internal costs), minimal trading costs (due to infrequent trading activity), and relative tax efficiency (because
the funds inside the portfolio are tax efficient and turnover inside the portfolio is minimal).
In contrast, active management involves a single manager or managers who employ some method, strategy or
technique to construct a portfolio that is intended to generate returns that are greater than the broader market or a
designated benchmark.
Material Risks Involved
All investing strategies we offer involve risk and may result in a loss of your original investment which you
should be prepared to bear. Many of these risks apply equally to stocks, bonds, commodities, and any other
investment or security. Material risks associated with our investment strategies are listed below.
7
Market Risk: Market risk involves the possibility that an investment’s current market value will fall because of a
general market decline, reducing the value of the investment regardless of the operational success of the issuer’s
operations or its financial condition.
Strategy Risk: The Adviser’s investment strategies and/or investment techniques may not work as intended.
Small and Medium Cap Company Risk: Securities of companies with small and medium market capitalizations
are often more volatile and less liquid than investments in larger companies. Small and medium cap companies may
face a greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility of the Client’s portfolio.
Interest Rate Risk: Bond (fixed income) prices generally fall when interest rates rise, and the value may fall below
par value or the principal investment. The opposite is also generally true: bond prices generally rise when interest
rates fall. In general, fixed income securities with longer maturities are more sensitive to these price changes. Most
other investments are also sensitive to the level and direction of interest rates.
Risks Associated with Securities
Apart from the general risks outlined above which apply to all types of investments, specific securities may have
other risks.
Common stocks may go up and down in price quite dramatically, and in the event of an issuer’s bankruptcy or
restructuring could lose all value. A slower-growth or recessionary economic environment could have an adverse
effect on the price of all stocks.
Corporate Bonds are debt securities to borrow money. Generally, issuers pay investors periodic interest and repay
the amount borrowed either periodically during the life of the security and/or at maturity. Alternatively, investors
can purchase other debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, which do not pay current interest, but rather are
priced at a discount from their face values and their values accrete over time to face value at maturity. The market
prices of debt securities fluctuate depending on factors such as interest rates, credit quality, and maturity. In general,
market prices of debt securities decline when interest rates rise and increase when interest rates fall. The longer the
time to a bond’s maturity, the greater its interest rate risk.
Municipal Bonds are debt obligations generally issued to obtain funds for various public purposes, including the
construction of public facilities. Municipal bonds pay a lower rate of return than most other types of bonds.
However, because of a municipal bond’s tax-favored status, investors should compare the relative after-tax return
to the after-tax return of other bonds, depending on the investor’s tax bracket. Investing in municipal bonds carries
the same general risks as investing in bonds in general. Those risks include interest rate risk, reinvestment risk,
inflation risk, market risk, call or redemption risk, credit risk, and liquidity and valuation risk.
Exchange Traded Funds prices may vary significantly from the Net Asset Value due to market conditions. Certain
Exchange Traded Funds may not track underlying benchmarks as expected. ETFs are also subject to the following
risks: (i) an ETF’s shares may trade at a market price that is above or below their net asset value; (ii) trading of an
ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are de-listed
from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock
prices) halts stock trading generally. The Adviser has no control over the risks taken by the underlying funds in
which the Clients invest.
Investment Companies Risk. When a Client invests in open-end mutual funds or ETFs, the Client indirectly bears
its proportionate share of any fees and expenses payable directly by those funds. Therefore, the Client will incur
higher expenses, many of which may be duplicative. In addition, the Client's overall portfolio may be affected by
losses of an underlying fund and the level of risk arising from the investment practices of an underlying fund (such
as the use of derivatives).

Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or
Interest in Client Transactions and Personal
Trading
As a fiduciary, our firm and its associates have a duty of utmost good faith to act solely in the best interests of each
Client. Our Clients entrust us with their funds and personal information, which in turn places a high standard on our
conduct and integrity. Our fiduciary duty is a core aspect of our Code of Ethics and represents the expected basis
9
of all of our dealings. The firm also accepts the obligation not only to comply with the mandates and requirements
of all applicable laws and regulations but also to take responsibility to act in an ethical and professionally responsible
manner in all professional services and activities. Additionally, FYW requires adherence to its Insider Trading
Policy, and the CFA Institute's Asset Manager Code of Professional Conduct and Code of Ethics and Standards of
Professional Conduct.
Code of Ethics Description
This code does not attempt to identify all possible conflicts of interest, and literal compliance with each of its
specific provisions will not shield associated persons from liability for personal trading or other conduct that violates
a fiduciary duty to advisory Clients. A summary of the Code of Ethics' Principles is outlined below.
•
Integrity - Associated persons shall offer and provide professional services with integrity.
•
Objectivity - Associated persons shall be objective in providing professional services to Clients.
•
Competence - Associated persons shall provide services to Clients competently and maintain the necessary
knowledge and skill to continue to do so in those areas in which they are engaged.
•
Fairness - Associated persons shall perform professional services in a manner that is fair and reasonable to
Clients, principals, partners, and employers, and shall disclose conflict(s) of interest in providing such
services.
•
Confidentiality - Associated persons shall not disclose confidential Client information without the specific
consent of the Client unless in response to proper legal process, or as required by law.
• Professionalism - Associated persons' conduct in all matter shall reflect the credit of the profession.
•
Diligence - Associated persons shall act diligently in providing professional services.
We periodically review and amend our Code of Ethics to ensure that it remains current, and we require all firm
access persons to attest to their understanding of and adherence to the Code of Ethics at least annually. Our firm
will provide a copy of its Code of Ethics to any Client or prospective Client upon request.
Investment Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest and Conflicts of Interest
Neither our firm, its associates or any related person is authorized to recommend to a Client or effect a transaction
for a Client, involving any security in which our firm or a related person has a material financial interest, such as in
the capacity as an underwriter, adviser to the issuer, etc.
Advisory Firm Purchase of Same Securities Recommended to Clients and Conflicts of Interest
Our firm and its “related persons” may buy or sell securities similar to, or different from, those we recommend to
Clients for their accounts. In an effort to reduce or eliminate certain conflicts of interest involving the firm or
personal trading, our policy may require that we restrict or prohibit associates’ transactions in specific reportable
securities transactions. Any exceptions or trading pre-clearance must be approved by the firm principal in advance
of the transaction in an account, and we maintain the required personal securities transaction records per regulation.
Trading Securities At/Around the Same Time as Client’s Securities
From time to time, our firm or its “related persons” may buy or sell securities for themselves at or around the same
time as Clients. We will not trade non-mutual fund securities 5 days prior to the same security for Clients.
10
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Factors Used to Select Custodians and/or Broker-Dealers
Custodians will be recommended based on our duty to seek “best execution,” which is the obligation to seek to
execute securities transactions for a client on terms that are the most favorable to the client under the circumstances.
The client will not necessarily pay the lowest commission or commission equivalent, and we may also consider the
market expertise and research access provided by the payment of commissions, including but not limited to access
to written research, oral communication with analysts, admittance to research conferences and other resources
provided by the custodians to aid in our research efforts. We will never charge a premium or commission on
transactions, beyond the actual cost imposed by the broker-dealer/custodian.
We recommend Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services and Apex.
1. Research and Other Soft-Dollar Benefits
We currently do not receive soft dollar benefits.
2. Brokerage for Client Referrals
We receive no referrals from a broker-dealer or third party in exchange for using that broker-dealer or third party.
3. Clients Directing Which Broker/Dealer/Custodian to Use
We do recommend a specific custodian for Clients to use, however, Clients may custody their assets at a custodian
of their choice. Clients may also direct us to use a specific broker-dealer to execute transactions. By allowing
Clients to choose a specific custodian, we may be unable to achieve the most favorable execution of Client
transaction and this may cost Clients money over using a lower-cost custodian.
Aggregating (Block) Trading for Multiple Client Accounts
We do participate in wrap fee programs. Please see Appendix 1 of our ADV Part 2A for our wrap fee program
details. We do not manage wrap fee accounts any differently than non wrap fee accounts.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Client accounts will be reviewed regularly on a quarterly basis by Lauren Debra Sterling , CCO. The account is
reviewed with regards to the Client’s investment policies and risk tolerance levels. Events that may trigger a special
review would be unusual performance, addition or deletions of Client imposed restrictions, excessive draw-down,
volatility in performance, or buy and sell decisions from the firm or per Client's needs.
Clients will receive trade confirmations from the broker(s) for each transaction in their accounts as well as monthly
or quarterly statements and annual tax reporting statements from their custodian showing all activity in the accounts,
such as receipt of dividends and interest.
FYW will not provide written reports to Investment Advisory Clients.
11
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other
Compensation
The Advisor engages independent solicitors to provide client referrals. If a client is referred to us by a solicitor, this
practice is disclosed to the client in writing by the solicitor and the Advisor pays the solicitor out of its own funds
specifically, the Advisor generally pays the solicitor a portion of the advisory fees earned for managing the capital
of the client or investor that was referred. The use of solicitors is strictly regulated under applicable federal and
state law. The Advisor’s policy is to fully comply with the requirements of Rule 206(4)3, under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and similar state rules, as applicable. The Advisor may receive client referrals
from Zoe Financial, Inc through its participation in Zoe Advisor Network (ZAN). Zoe Financial, Inc is independent
of and unaffiliated with the Advisor and there is no employee relationship between them. Zoe Financial established
the Zoe Advisor Network as a means of referring individuals and other investors seeking fee only personal
investment management services or financial planning services to independent investment advisors. Zoe Financial
does not supervise the Advisor and has no responsibility for the Advisor’s management of client portfolios or the
Advisor’s other advice or services. The Advisor pays Zoe Financial an on going fee for each successful client
referral. This fee is usually a percentage of the advisory fee that the client pays to the Advisor (“Solicitation Fee”).
The Advisor will not charge clients referred through Zoe Advisor Network any fees or costs higher than its standard
fee schedule offered to its clients. For information regarding additional or other fees paid directly or indirectly to
Zoe Financial Inc, please refer to the Zoe Financial Disclosure and Acknowledgement Form.
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services provides the firm with access to Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor
Services’ institutional trading and custody services, which are typically not available to Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
Advisor Services retail investors. These services generally are available to independent investment advisers on an

maintained in accounts at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services. Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor
Services includes brokerage services that are related to the execution of securities transactions, custody, research,
including that in the form of advice, analyses and reports, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are
otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial
investment. For the firm client accounts maintained in its custody, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services
generally does not charge separately for custody services but is compensated by account holders through
commissions or other transaction-related or asset-based fees for securities trades that are executed through Charles
Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services or that settle into Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services accounts.
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services also makes available to the firm other products and services that
benefit the firm but may not benefit its clients’ accounts. These benefits may include national, regional or the firm
specific educational events organized and/or sponsored by Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services. Other
potential benefits may include occasional business entertainment of personnel of the firm by Charles Schwab &
Co., Inc. Advisor Services personnel, including meals, invitations to sporting events, including golf tournaments,

multiple client accounts, if applicable), provide research, pricing information and other market data, facilitate
payment of the firm’s fees from its clients’ accounts (if applicable), and assist with back-office training and support
functions, recordkeeping and client reporting. Many of these services generally may be used to service all or some
substantial number of the firm’s accounts. Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services also makes available to
12
the firm other services intended to help the firm manage and further develop its business enterprise. These services
may include professional compliance, legal and business consulting, publications and conferences on practice
management, information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance, employee benefits providers,
and human capital consultants, insurance and marketing. In addition, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services
may make available, arrange and/or pay vendors for these types of services rendered to the firm by independent
third parties. Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services may discount or waive fees it would otherwise charge
for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to the firm. the
firm is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services.
Item 15: Custody
FYW does not accept custody of Client funds except in the instance of withdrawing Client fees.
For Client accounts in which FYW directly debits their advisory fee:
i.
ii.
iii.
FYW will send a copy of its invoice to the custodian at the same time that it sends the Client a copy.
The custodian will send at least quarterly statements to the Client showing all disbursements for the account,
including the amount of the advisory fee.
The Client will provide written authorization to FYW, permitting them to be paid directly for their accounts
held by the custodian.
Clients should receive at least quarterly statements from the broker-dealer, bank or other qualified custodian that
holds and maintains Client's investment assets. We urge you to carefully review such statements and compare such
official custodial records to the account statements or reports that we may provide to you. Our statements or reports
may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies
of certain securities.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
For those Client accounts where we provide Investment Management Services, we maintain discretion over Client
accounts with respect to securities to be bought and sold and the amount of securities to be bought and sold.
Investment discretion is explained to Clients in detail when an advisory relationship has commenced. At the start
of the advisory relationship, the Client will execute a Limited Power of Attorney, which will grant our firm
discretion over the account. Additionally, the discretionary relationship will be outlined in the advisory contract
and signed by the Client.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
We do not vote Client proxies. Therefore, Clients maintain exclusive responsibility for: (1) voting proxies, and (2)
acting on corporate actions pertaining to the Client’s investment assets. The Client shall instruct the Client’s
qualified custodian to forward to the Client copies of all proxies and shareholder communications relating to the
Client’s investment assets. If the Client would like our opinion on a particular proxy vote, they may contact us at
the number listed on the cover of this brochure.
In most cases, you will receive proxy materials directly from the account custodian. However, in the event we were
to receive any written or electronic proxy materials, we would forward them directly to you by mail, unless you
13
have authorized our firm to contact you by electronic mail, in which case, we would forward you any electronic
solicitation to vote proxies.
Item 18: Financial Information
Registered Investment Advisers are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial information or
