Item 4 – Advisory Business
Gimbal (“we” or “our”) provides clients with various asset management programs as
described below. Gimbal became registered as an investment advisor in 2011 and is
owned by Keith A. Tyner and Douglas A. Shrieve.
Variable Annuity Management
Gimbal offers management of previously purchased variable annuity assets on a
discretionary basis. We will allocate client’s variable annuity subaccounts among the
selections made available by the insurance company issuing the variable annuity
contract. Such allocations will be made based on the investment objectives of the client.
The variable annuity subaccounts will be periodically reviewed and reallocated as needed
among the investment selections to remain consistent with the client’s goals and
objectives. All variable annuity assets are maintained at the insurance company issuing
the variable annuity and the insurance company will continue to issue periodic account
statements to the client as the custodian of assets.
To hire us to provide variable annuity management services, you will be asked to enter
into a written variable annuity management agreement with us. This agreement will set
forth the terms and conditions of our relationship. You will retain all rights of ownership of
your account, including the right to withdraw securities or cash, vote proxies, and receive
transaction confirmations if offered by the variable annuity sponsor. In addition, you will
also have the ability to impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of
securities at the time you engage us for services.
Gimbal also offers a wrap fee program to clients. If you would like to receive a brochure
that describes our wrap fee program, kindly contact your advisory representative to get a
copy.

on a discretionary basis and $16,654,003 on a non-discretionary basis.

Page 6 of 21
last business day of the month. You may choose to have the advisory fee deducted from

Client should also be aware that the insurance company issuing the variable annuity
contract imposes additional charges on variable annuity assets, including mortality,
expense and administrative charges, fees for additional riders purchased by you on the
contract, and charges for excessive transfers within a calendar year if imposed by the
variable annuity sponsor. Gimbal does not receive any portion of these fees.
You may terminate the agreement for services with us at any time with written notice. For
additional information, refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Retirement Plan Consulting Services
The retirement plan consulting fee is based on a percentage of the market value of plan
assets as agreed upon between Gimbal and the plan sponsor in the written consulting
services agreement. Fees are negotiable between Gimbal and the plan sponsor, and the
maximum annual fee is 0.50%. Fees are billed monthly in arrears and calculated based
on the plan assets on the last business day of the month. Fees may be paid directly by
the plan sponsor or out of plan assets by a service provider or other third party, as
authorized by the plan sponsor. Upon termination of the written consulting services
agreement, fees will be due to Gimbal based on a pro-rata basis for the number of days
during the month for which retirement plan consulting services were provided and based
on the market value of plan assets as of the date of termination.
Consulting Services
Gimbal receives a consulting services fee from Mutual Securities ranging from 0.25% to
0.75% based on the value of assets held in brokerage customers’ accounts that have
entered into a consulting services agreement with Gimbal. This fee is paid to Gimbal by
Mutual Securities on a quarterly basis, and the consulting fee is calculated based on the
value of assets as of the end of the calendar quarter. The initial fee is paid only after
completion of one full calendar quarter period following the date of the executed
agreement with Mutual Securities.
Client should be aware that in certain circumstances Mutual Securities will receive
compensation from the mutual fund and/or variable annuity sponsors including but not
limited to, 12b-1 fees, revenue sharing fees, networking fees, or transfer agent fees.
Page 7 of 21
Mutual Securities will also receive commissions to the extent you purchase additional
investment holdings through them or liquidate any holdings that contain a contingent
deferred sales charge.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
This Item is not applicable as Gimbal does not charge any performance-based fees (fees
based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client).
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Gimbal provides services to individuals, trusts, estates, small businesses, and broker-
dealers.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
We use three primary strategies for managing variable annuity assets. We will invest and
manage your portfolio based on your desired risk level and investment objective (e.g.,
Growth with Income, Growth or Aggressive Growth). We typically allocate the portfolio
into several components, including buy and hold growth-oriented investments, fixed
income funds and money market funds, and alternative asset allocation funds.
Alternative asset allocation funds include world allocation funds. A world allocation fund
seeks to provide both capital appreciation and income by investing in stocks, bonds, and
cash. These funds may be invested in commodities and foreign currencies. These funds
may also invest in international and emerging markets. Investments in international
markets present special risks including currency fluctuations, the potential for diplomatic
and political instability, regulatory and liquidity risks, and foreign taxation, among others.
The risks of foreign investing are generally greater in emerging markets.
All investments are susceptible to risk, such as:
1. Currency Risk: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the
dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also
referred to as exchange rate risk.
2. Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to
fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become
less attractive, causing their market values to decline.
3. Market Risk: The price of a security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in reaction to
tangible and intangible events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by
external factors independent of a security’s particular underlying circumstances.
Page 8 of 21
For example, political, economic, and social conditions may trigger market events.
4. Inflation Risk: When inflation is present, a dollar today will not buy as much as a
dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
5. Reinvestment Risk: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may
have to be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e., interest rate). This
primarily relates to fixed income securities.
6. Business Risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a particular
company within an industry. For example, oil-drilling companies depend on finding
oil and then refining it, a lengthy process, before they can generate a profit. They
carry a higher risk of profitability than an electric company, which generates its
income from a steady stream of customers who buy electricity no matter what the
economic environment is like.
7. Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash.
Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized
product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties
are not.
8. Financial Risk: Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations increases
the risk of profitability, because the company must meet the terms of its obligations
in good times and bad. During periods of financial stress, the inability to meet loan
obligations may result in bankruptcy and/or a declining market value.
We consider the overall economy, both domestically and globally, when making allocation
decisions. We also consider current and recent market levels and volatility when making
management decisions. We use a variety of sources of data to conduct our economic,
investment and market analysis, such as financial newspapers and magazines, economic
and market research materials prepared by others, conference calls hosted by mutual
funds, corporate rating services, annual reports, prospectuses, and company press
releases.
It is important to keep in mind that there is no specific approach to investing that
guarantees success or positive returns; investing in securities involves risk of loss that
clients should be prepared to bear.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisors are required to disclose all material facts regarding any
legal or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of our advisory
business or the integrity of our management. We have no information applicable to this
Item.
Page 9 of 21
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Gimbal is only in the business of providing investment advice as described above and
through offering a wrap fee program described in the firm’s Wrap Program Brochure.
Advisory representatives are also licensed as independent insurance agents and
appointed through various insurance companies to offer fixed insurance. In such a
capacity, the advisory representatives can sell insurance products to clients and receive
normal and customary compensation in the form of commissions. Clients purchasing
insurance from advisory representatives will receive certain disclosure documents and
complete an insurance application process when conducting such transactions.
As previously described, Gimbal provides consulting services to certain brokerage
customers of Mutual Securities, Inc. for receipt of a consulting services fee paid by Mutual
Securities. The consulting services include, but are not limited to, the following: conducting
a periodic review of brokerage customers’ investment holdings; making recommendations
regarding certain investment holdings, if applicable; placing transactions authorized by
brokerage customers, if applicable; and assisting brokerage customers in processing
certain operational requests on investment holdings held directly with a mutual fund or
variable annuity sponsor. While Gimbal may make recommendations with respect to
certain investment holdings, Gimbal is not responsible for providing ongoing monitoring
of securities or management services to brokerage customers.
The relationship with Mutual Securities presents a conflict of interest because Gimbal has
a financial incentive to recommend that you maintain or increase your investment holdings
so that Gimbal continues to receive compensation on the value of the holdings. We take
our responsibilities seriously and will only make such a recommendation if we believe it
is in your best interest. In addition, this conflict is mitigated by obtaining your consent to
provide consulting services and you can terminate your agreement with us upon written
notice. Please note that Gimbal is not registered as a broker-dealer, and neither Gimbal
nor its advisory representatives are affiliated with Mutual Securities or any broker-dealer.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions, and
Personal Trading
It is our policy not to affect any principal trades for client accounts. Principal trades are
generally defined as transactions where an advisor, acting for its own account, buys from
or sells a security to an advisory client. It is also our policy not to cross trade between
your account and the account of another client. Gimbal and its advisory representatives
may buy or sell securities for our personal accounts identical to those recommended to
clients. This creates a potential conflict of interest. It is our policy that all people
associated with us in any manner must place the interests of clients ahead of their own
when making personal investments. In addition, we require that client transactions be
placed before our own transactions. We also monitor the trading activity our advisory
representatives.
Page 10 of 21
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
Gimbal offers management services on previously purchased variable annuity assets.
We will allocate client’s variable annuity subaccounts among the selections made
available by the insurance company issuing the variable annuity contract, following the
operational instructions for such allocations provided by the variable annuity sponsor or
the issuing insurance company. Gimbal is not responsible for selecting any broker-dealer
or firm for transactions, and no commissions are charged to the client for such
transactions. In certain situations, the variable annuity sponsor may charge the client for
such transactions, but Gimbal receives no portion of such charges.
Gimbal may receive support services and/or products from the variable annuity sponsor,
which assists Gimbal to better manage, and service client accounts maintained at the
variable annuity sponsor. Some of these services assist Gimbal to better monitor and
service client accounts, however, many of these services benefit only Gimbal, for
example, services that assist Gimbal in growing its business. These support services
and/or products may be received without cost, at a discount, and/or at another negotiated
rate, and may include the following. These services may be provided by the variable
annuity sponsor or a third-party vendor.
1. investment-related research and tools
2. pricing information and market data
3. software and other technology that provide access to client account data
4. technology to facilitate trade execution
5. receipt of duplicate client statements and confirmations
6. assist with back-office functions
7. recordkeeping
8. compliance and/or practice management-related publications
9. consulting services
10. attendance at conferences, meetings, and other educational and/or social
events
11. marketing support
12. other products used by Gimbal in furtherance of its investment advisory
business operations
Clients do not pay more for services because of this arrangement.
Within Retirement Plan Consulting Services, Gimbal may assist with investment
recommendations to the retirement plan sponsor. This could include research and
recommendations, for consideration and selection by the plan sponsor, of specific
investments to be held in the plan or, in the case of a participant-directed defined
contribution plan, to be made available as an investment option under the plan. The plan
sponsor is responsible for the selection of any vendor, broker-dealer, or custodian for plan
assets, and is responsible for placing any transactions deemed appropriate.
Page 11 of 21
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Advisory representatives conduct reviews of client accounts on a periodic basis, but at
least annually, for consistency with the client’s stated investment objectives, among other
factors. Client account reviews may also be triggered upon client request, a change in
client circumstances, or unusual market activity.
The client will continue to receive periodic account statements directly from Fidelity
Investments, Inc. (“Fidelity”), the mutual fund, and/or insurance company holding client
assets. Gimbal will not provide any additional reporting.
For Retirement Plan Consulting Services, plan sponsors receive a quarterly report from
Gimbal regarding information on plan holdings. The report may contain some or all the
following elements, among others, as agreed upon between the plan sponsor and Gimbal:
investment performance, changes in fund management or practices, benchmarking to a
peer group and market indices, and potential concerns for plan holdings.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
We do not compensate any other party for client referrals.
Gimbal and its advisory representatives may receive items as gifts valued at less than
$300 annually, an occasional dinner or ticket to a sporting event, or reimbursement in
connection with educational meetings or marketing or advertising initiatives. Product
sponsors may also pay for education or training events that may be attended by Gimbal’s
employees and advisory representatives. However, gifts and reimbursement may not be
tied to the sales of any products.
Item 15 – Custody
We do not have custody of client funds or securities. All client assets are maintained at
Fidelity, the mutual fund sponsor, and/or the insurance company issuing the variable
annuity. The mutual fund sponsor and/or insurance company will continue to issue
periodic account statements to the client as the custodian of assets. We encourage you
to carefully review these statements upon receipt.
Custody for plan assets receiving services through Retirement Plan Consulting Services
is maintained at a custodian selected by the plan sponsor. The plan will receive
statements directly from the custodian at least quarterly, and we encourage you to
carefully review these statements upon receipt.
We may provide you with additional, customized reporting from time to time and upon
request. This additional reporting does not take the place of the official statements that
you receive from the insurance company.
Page 12 of 21
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Upon your written authorization in our variable annuity management agreement, we will
provide discretionary management services for your variable annuity assets. Our
discretionary authority is limited only to allocating subaccounts within the variable annuity
among the selections made available by the insurance company issuing the variable
annuity contract. We will affect the allocations without obtaining your consent for each
transaction.
We do not exercise any discretionary authority when providing Retirement Plan
Consulting Services.
We are not responsible for providing discretionary or non-discretionary management
services to brokerage customers, monitoring securities, or placing transactions for
brokerage customers.
We will not have access to your funds or securities.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Gimbal does not have any authority to vote client securities or proxies on your behalf.
Proxy information will be sent to you by the mutual fund and/or variable annuity sponsor.
We will not be providing you with this information. If you have any questions about a
particular solicitation, you may contact us for general information.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Gimbal is required to provide clients with certain information or disclosures about its
financial condition. We have no financial commitment that impairs our ability to meet
contractual or fiduciary commitments to clients, and we have not been the subject of a
bankruptcy petition.
