Item 4 – Advisory Business
Gibert Wealth Management, LLC (“Gibert”) was established to help individuals, families and business
owners meet financial needs at every stage of life. Gibert provides investment management services
through its Wealth Management program. We also provide services to retirement plans through our
Retirement Plan Advisory Services. Gibert is owned by Paul Gibert and was registered in 2026 as an
independent registered investment advisor.
Wealth Management: Our services are designed to assist clients in meeting their unique financial
goals through the use of financial investments. Gibert utilizes various securities, including but not limited
to; stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETF), certificates of deposit, options, real
estate investment trusts (REIT), preferred stock, U.S Treasury bonds and other investment programs
available through the custodian selected by the client. Please refer to Item 8 for information on risks
associated with investments selected by Gibert.
We may select or recommend a third-party money manager, sub-advisor or asset management
program (collectively referred to as “Program”) to access separate and unaffiliated registered
investment advisors (“Independent Managers”). These Independent Managers are available through
the Program provided by Charles Schwab & Company. In these situations, the Independent Managers
will manage your assets on a discretionary basis.
Clients may impose restrictions on purchasing various investments and we will tailor investment
management based upon the individual needs of the client. Gibert will consider information provided
by the client in determining the appropriate suitability. Clients receive ongoing portfolio construction,
investment selection, monitoring, rebalancing, reporting and execution of trades on a discretionary
basis, which means we will not obtain client’s consent before making trades. Incidental financial
consulting is provided as needed in conjunction with Wealth Management and includes assisting clients
with investment advice, financial goals and objectives analysis, as well as financial and retirement
planning. However, not all Investment Management clients will require or receive incidental financial
consulting.
It is possible that we may recommend or utilize alternative investments for clients. It is important for
clients to know that alternative investments may create additional risks and be illiquid, meaning clients
may be unable to sell the position. More information on the risks associated with alternative
investments is discussed in Item 8.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services: We provide retirement plan consulting services to employer plan
sponsors on an ongoing basis. Generally, such consulting services consist of assisting employer plan
sponsors in establishing, monitoring, and reviewing their company's participant-directed retirement
plan. As the needs of the plan sponsor dictate, areas of advising could include investment options, plan
structure and participant education. Retirement Plan Advisory Services may include establishing an
Investment Policy Statement, recommending or selecting investment options, development of asset
allocation and portfolio construction and investment monitoring and non-fiduciary participant education.
Any services provided under this program are under Section 3(21) of ERISA as designated by the
Retirement Plan Advisory Services agreement.
3
Assets: As of June 17, 2026, we managed $315,989,202 on a discretionary basis. Additionally, we do
not manage any assets under a sponsored wrap-fee program.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The fee for Wealth Management is based on the amount of assets under management (“AUM”), as
determined by the independent qualified custodian. Clients engage Gibert for Wealth Management by
signing an advisory agreement (“Agreement”) that outlines our services, as well as a description of the
fees charged (“Advisory Fees”). The Advisory Fees are flat-rates or based on a schedule as noted in
the Agreement, but in no case does our annual fee exceed 1.6%. Advisory Fees will be charged
quarterly and in advance, based on the value of the AUM at the beginning of the quarter. Cash flows
greater than $25,000 from the previous quarter will be adjusted on the next quarterly billing. Accounts
opened under the Agreement will be aggregated together for determining AUM during the billing
process, which may provide the client a lower Advisory Fee rate. Our standard fee schedule is as
follows:
Assets Under Management Advisory Fee Rate
First $250,000
Next $250,000
Next $500,000
Over $1,000,000
1.60%
1.45%
1.30%
1.15%
Advisory Fees we charge are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by investments
like mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs). In these cases, the fees and expenses are
described in each fund's prospectus or available through common financial websites. These fees will
generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, and a possible distribution fee. It’s important
to know that if a Program or Independent Manager is used, the fees charged by them will be separate
and in addition to our Advisory Fee.
Fees for Retirement Plan Advisory Services range from 0% to 1.5% and are fully described in the
Retirement Plan Services Agreement the client signs to engage us. Retirement Plan Advisory Fees
are paid by the custodian, record-keeper or trustee as authorized by the client in our Retirement Plan
Advisory Agreement. The fee is typically charged quarterly and will be either in advance or arrears.
In addition to our Advisor Fee, clients are also responsible for the transaction charges, fees and other
expenses charged and imposed by the firm (“Custodian”) who holds the client assets. Advisory Fees
may be negotiated, lowered or waived for family, friends or based upon the complexity level of the client
situation. Clients provide us authorization to electronically debit our fees in the Agreement and
custodial paperwork. Clients can cancel the Agreement for Wealth Management without any charges
and penalties within 5 business days after contract execution.
In the event a client terminates our services Advisory Fees will be charged until the notice of termination
is provided by the client. If terminated, we will rebate the unused portion of the Advisory Fee. Advisory
Fees are electronically debited from client accounts. The value used to calculate the Advisory Fee will
include all positions in the account, cash, dividends, accrued interest and interest payments unless
specifically excluded in the Special Instructions section of the Agreement.
4
Representatives are licensed to sell insurance products. This can create a conflict to obtain a
commission that Client should understand. We hold to our fiduciary responsibility to provide
recommendations in the best interest of the Client. If Clients elect to act on any of the recommendations,
the Client is under no obligation to affect the transactions through us.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
We do not receive any performance-based fees, nor do we offer side-by-side management of assets.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
We provide services to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, non-profits, corporations,
associations and other business entities (such as limited liability companies, networks or limited
partnerships).
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
While the methods of analysis are constantly evolving, many decisions and recommendations are made
using the methods noted below. It is important to know that all methods of analysis are subject to being
inaccurate in their projection, deduction, or direction—which could result in the Risk of Loss as
discussed later in this section.
Quantitative Analysis: An analysis technique that seeks to understand behavior by using complex
mathematical and statistical modeling, measurement, and research. By assigning a numerical value to
variables, quantitative analysts try to replicate reality mathematically. Some believe that it can also be
used to predict real-world events, such as changes in the share price.
Qualitative Analysis: Securities analysis that uses subjective judgment based on non-quantifiable
information, such as management expertise, industry cycles, strength of research and development,
and labor relations. This type of analysis technique is different from quantitative analysis, which focuses
on numbers. The two techniques, however, are often used together.
Modern Portfolio Theory: Is the process of maximizing the expected return of the portfolio for a given
amount of portfolio risk.
Charting: Includes the review of charts of market and security activity to identify when the market is
moving up or down and to predict how long the trend may last and when that trend might reverse.
5
Investment Strategies
We have the ability to construct client portfolios using a wide variety of investments, including stocks,
bonds, certificates of deposit, exchange traded funds, mutual funds, closed end funds, unit investment
trusts, structured notes, options and other investments available through the brokerage firm where
client assets are held in custody. While we typically will not include option strategies for portfolios we
manage, there may be situations where clients transfer in previously purchased or received options
and we will work with the client to dispose of or incorporate the options into their overall investment
allocation. Additionally, the portion of cash that is included in the asset allocation is included in the
advisory fees.
We also use various investment strategies: Long Term Purchases – investments purchased with the
expectation to hold the position over a long period of time, typically longer than one year. In addition
to the Risk of Loss discussed below, long-term investing has the risk of losing value or not being enough
to reach financial goals. Short Term Purchases – investments purchased with the expectation that they
will be quickly sold within a short time-period. These investments have the risk of additional taxation
and trade cost impacting performance. Margin Transactions – a transaction where the client would
borrow money to purchase a security and the underlying position is used as collateral on the loan.
Risks of margin could include magnified losses in the event of poor performance. Options – an
investment that involves buying or selling a right to purchase or sell a security at a specific price for a
specified time. The risk of trading or investing in options includes the expiration of the option with no
value, or thinly traded markets which could impact the liquidity of the investment. It should be known
that frequent trading can affect investment performance through increased brokerage and other
transaction costs and taxes.
Risk Information
Investing in all types of investments has various risks and all investments have the risk of losing value
that clients should be prepared to bear. Some investments for fixed income have the risk of defaulting
on interest or principal payments. Investors are also faced with the risk that inflation will outpace the
returns of the investment, which lowers the purchasing power of that investor. Rebalancing a portfolio
may cause taxable events, which could raise the client’s taxes. Investing in options incurs the risk of
the option expiring as well as going down in value. Accounts holding a large cash position risks
underperforming other investments that are experiencing higher returns. It is important clients
understand that there are numerous risks associated with their investments.
If used, Investment Managers may under-perform in their selection of the underlying investments which
are subject to the risks noted above. Additional risks include the inaccurate assumptions used in
financial projections that could impair the results of a financial plan. Clients must understand that it is
impossible to completely predict or project variables that go into financial consulting, such as investment
returns, inflation, etc. All financial consulting and planning bears the risk that the advice provided may
be inaccurate. We recommend that clients discuss any concerns directly with us. Investing in non-
traded REITS incurs the risk of loss, as well as a lack of liquidity.
6
We also help clients through complex and emotional issues that have uncertain and unpredictable
outcomes. We strive to provide comprehensive information and assistance to help clients make wise
and thoughtful decisions. However, it is important that all clients know we cannot foresee all situations
and results may differ significantly from our initial and ongoing analysis. Except where specifically
assigned to us, the clients retain the ultimate authority for all decision-making and outcomes.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Neither Gibert Wealth Management, LLC, nor any affiliated persons have any disciplinary history.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
As noted above, some Representatives are also licensed to sell insurance or affiliated as a registered
representative of a broker-dealer and may receive commissions from the sales of insurance products
such as life, disability, and fixed annuities or brokerage products. Should a client wish to purchase
insurance or brokerage products from the Representatives with assets that are not advisory assets, the
client will pay the premium or commission on those assets that are separate and distinct from any
Advisory Fee. This could create a conflict for the Representative to sell a product to make a
commission—but in all cases the client interests must be placed before ours.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
We have implemented policies and procedures to govern our employees and to mitigate the conflicts
of interest we encounter when providing our advisory services to clients. These include:
• A Code of Ethics that each employee is required to review and sign an acknowledgement of
receipt and understanding (upon hire, and annually);
• Prohibitions on the misuse of material non-public information;
• Prohibitions to place their interests in front of clients.
• Personal securities trading policies and procedures (governing not only our employee but also
the members of their household and any other securities or brokerage accounts where they have
beneficial ownership of with a spouse, family member or other person). Employees are not
allowed to:
o Trade on inside information
o “Front-run” or trade in anticipation of client transactions.
o Trade or participate in any activity prohibited under the federal securities laws.
We strive to achieve the highest ethical and fiduciary standards (in dealing with clients, the public,
vendors, prospective clients and each other). As a fiduciary, we have an affirmative duty to act with
integrity, competence, and care; this includes disclosing all potential and actual conflicts of interest.
We perform services for various other clients. We do not have any material financial interest in
recommended securities outside of situations noted in this section. We may give advice or take actions
for our clients that differ from the advice given to other clients. Our firm and its “related persons” may
buy or sell securities like, or different from, those we recommend to clients for their accounts.
7
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.
We maintain the required personal securities transaction records per regulation. Principals and
supervised persons of our firm may also invest in securities at the same time, before, or after clients.
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 securities transactions. As
mentioned above, we maintain the required personal securities transaction records per regulation.
The timing or nature of any action taken for all clients or other sponsors may also vary. For more
information or to request a copy of our Code of Ethics, please contact us at (704) 575-5349.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
For Investment Management Individual Accounts, we will likely recommend Charles Schwab as the
(“Custodian”) for assets, although the client is ultimately responsible for selecting the Custodian. We
receive certain services and economic benefits from Charles Schwab & Company (“Custodian”) that
are typically not offered to retail investors. These benefits are provided to us for utilizing their custodial
and brokerage services for our clients’ accounts.
The benefits we receive include, but are not limited to, trading costs, electronic access to trading and
client accounts, discounts or payments for software, historical relationship with us, execution
capabilities, reputation, financial strength, products and services, compliance, research and technology
and other operational support that may benefit us, but not the client. Transfer fees charged by the
previous custodian can be reimbursed by the Custodian directly to client accounts. Benefits also include
covering specific expenses for compliance or technology based on the assets moved to Custodian.
This arrangement presents a conflict of interest because the economic benefits we receive from
Custodian may influence our recommendation to clients to use their services, rather than a custodian
that may charge less or offer different services. Our decision to recommend the Custodian is based on
a range of factors, including the services, technology, and support it provides, which we believe
ultimately assists us in delivering efficient advisory services to our clients. We address this conflict by
disclosing the arrangement to you in this brochure. We always uphold our fiduciary duty to seek the
best overall combination of value, service, and price for your account. You are not required to use
Charles Schwab as your custodian; however, if you choose another custodian, we may not be able to
provide all our services, or the services may be less efficient. In all cases, we must place the interests
of the client in front of our own. If clients select an alternative broker-dealer for their assets, they may
pay a higher commission and prohibit us from blocking transactions. We do not receive client referrals
from any custodian or third parties.
Some clients may be traded on models, but it is possible that rebalancing/trading accounts are done
so randomly, which could result in clients holding different positions and receiving higher or lower prices
than other accounts with similar investment objectives. It may be possible for employees to buy or sell
securities in their personal accounts that were also purchased in the client account. By not aggregating
or block trading through model trading, clients may receive different execution prices than other clients
with similar objectives. However, in the event we enter a block (aggregated) trade and we received a
partial allocation, then all clients would receive a pro-rata allocation. As noted earlier we have a strict
policy against using the trade flow of clients to economically benefit us or our employees.
8
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Client accounts are reviewed on a regular basis, typically on a quarterly basis. However, clients may
request more frequent reviews. There are many factors that might bring about a review of accounts,
including regular review dates, supervision reviews, economic changes, political disruptions or other
market activity. We encourage clients to carefully review the written reports we provide as well as the
statements provided by the Custodian. Clients should rely on the statement for the actual value of the
account. We may also provide clients with reports which may have a different value than statements
provided by the Custodian. This difference could be due to trade-date versus settlement date
reconciliations, accrued interest, or the exclusion of a position that is not included in management or
billing. Also, we encourage clients to contact their Custodian immediately if they do not receive their
statement directly from the Custodian. For further information on any billing information contained in
your reports, please refer to Item 5 of this document as well as the Advisory Agreement.
Supervision of the firm is the responsibility of the Chief Compliance Officer or their assignees. The
review includes the performance of the accounts and positions. It is critical that clients report any
changes in their financial situation so we can ensure they are invested properly. If you have any
questions on the supervision or review of accounts, please call (704) 575-5349.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
As mentioned earlier, we receive certain indirect benefits from the Custodian. We may also receive
additional non-monetary compensation from various vendors, product providers, distributors, and
others. These providers may provide compensation by paying some expenses related to training and
education, including travel expenses, and attaining professional designations. We might receive
payments to subsidize our own training programs. Certain vendors may invite us to participate in
conferences, on-line training or receive publications that may further our skills and knowledge. Some
may occasionally provide us with gifts, meals, and entertainment of reasonable value consistent with
industry rules and regulations. However, we do not receive or pay any compensation, directly or
indirectly, for client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
As noted in the Advisory Agreement signed by the client, we take custody when we deduct our advisory
fee directly from client accounts. Additionally, we are reporting custody on certain accounts where the
client has requested the ability to electronically transfer assets to a third-party through a standing limited
power of attorney (known as a SLOA). Although we do not have any relationship, affiliation or share
an address with any of the third parties, we are following SEC guidelines to report having custody of
these assets.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Clients engage us on a discretionary basis by executing the Agreement, granting full authority to buy,
sell, or otherwise effect investment transactions in the accounts. Clients may note investment
restrictions on the special instructions section of the Agreement, by email or in writing.
9
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
We do not vote proxies on behalf of clients. Clients will receive all proxy voting materials directly from
the custodian. The client maintains exclusive responsibility for voting all proxies generated from the
securities, although we are available to assist with any questions.
Item 18 – Financial Information
We do not have any financial issue or situation that would impair our ability to deliver services to our
clients. Nor has the firm or any principal shareholders filed bankruptcy. Additionally, we do not require
prepayment of advisory fees more than $1,200 per client, six months or more in advance.
