ITEM 4: ADVISORY BUSINESS
History and Ownership
Founded in 1988 by Edward M. Glass, Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC (“Advisor”) is a
registered investment advisor based in San Antonio, Texas, and registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). The firm provides investment services primarily for high-net-worth
individuals, families, and related accounts. We are investors, not market timers. As such, we design
investment portfolios to endure throughout complete business cycles, through market peaks and troughs.
Core to our investment approach is the belief that an investor must “know what you own and why you own
it.” Hence, it is with deference to that mantra that a client portfolio seldom will hold any financial product.
Our unwavering client focus, our size, and our location equip us to avoid the noise that often surrounds
investment decisions and the financial industry.
Originally operating under the name Glass Management Company, Inc., the firm changed its name
to Glass Wealth Management Company, Inc. on January 8, 2014. The company later reorganized into a
Texas limited liability company on January 5, 2021, and adopted the name Glass Wealth Management Co.,
LLC.
st
While founded by Edward M. Glass in March 1988, our roots and relationships in the business trace
back to 1974. The firm also was at the vanguard for the financial industry’s embrace of the registered
investment advisor (RIA) model, minimizing conflicts of interest germane to brokerages and proliferate
throughout financial services. Our resolute focus on acting in the best interests of our clients dictated this
corporate structure over three decades ago, and that focus continues to guide the growth and evolution of
our firm. In 1995, Mr. Glass partnered with Mr. Stephen B. Wilde and merged with Wilde Advisory Services,
Inc., another RIA firm with deep roots in South Texas. This merger created growth for the firm while
ensuring succession of leadership. In April of 2006, Mr. Glass conveyed his interest in the company back to
of
the firm and became a consultant to Mr. Wilde, who assumed ownership of the firm. On December 21
2014, Mr. Glass passed away, having served his clients in our industry for over fifty years. Mr. Wilde, to
ensure the continued success of the firm, accepted Mr. David Hornberger and Mr. Christopher Wilde as
minority owners of the firm, effective January 1, 2022
The firm offers to clients discretionary and non-discretionary management of assets and does not
participate in a wrap-fee program. As of December 31, 2024, the firm has discretionary management
authority on $235,532,873in client assets and manages $16,063,894 on a non-discretionary basis.
The firm delivers customized investment advisory services based on individual needs as
determined by such key factors as investment experience, risk tolerance, investment time horizons, and
other client-specific concerns. Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC manages investments in publicly traded
securities deemed suitable for the client and in accordance with the terms of the appropriate Investment
Management Agreement. Clients may place reasonable restrictions on their portfolio, in writing.
For family relationships with assets under management of greater than $5 million, the firm
additionally offers GWM Total Asset Management. Here, in addition to the investment advisory services
described above, we provide consulting services that may include, among others, the review and analysis
of external investments and the formulation of various implementation options through our extensive
network of professional service providers. This service provides clients with a more comprehensive view
of a family’s financial position that can help clients manage their overall asset diversification as well as tax
and estate planning needs.

ITEM 5: FEES AND COMPENSATION
Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC earns a management fee based on the market value of the
portfolio assets the firm manages for the client. As a registered investment advisor, Advisor earns no
commissions or other fees of any type. Fees are payable at the end of each calendar quarter and are
calculated based on the market value of the assets on the last business day of the quarter.

•
Account(s) must have initial minimum
balance of $5 million.
The above management fee structure for
equities, fixed income, mutual funds, and
exchange-traded funds will be applied

Other Fee Arrangements:
•
•
•
Advisor may serve as a consultant to Client in which case fees are negotiated on a case-by-case
basis.
Advisor may be engaged to track non-discretionary or unmanaged accounts for performance
reporting purposes, a service which carries a fee of up to 0.1% on the non-discretionary
assets.
Any employee or employee related account(s) in excess of $100,000 in assets will be subject to
an Investment Management Agreement and charged a fee of up to 0.1%.
The market value of the portfolio assets the firm manages (including cash and cash equivalents)
for you at the end of each calendar quarter will serve as the basis for fee calculations. All fees are payable
in arrears. For example, fees will be billed on April 1 for the quarter ending March 31 and are calculated
based on the March 31 portfolio market value.
If an investment agreement is terminated prior to the end of the quarter the client will be charged
a prorated amount based upon the termination. An investment agreement may generally be terminated at
any time by the client or the applicant on written notice to the other party. The investment agreement may
not be assigned by Advisor without Client’s consent.
The client determines the custodian to be used and may determine the asset mix. In most instances,
cash is invested in short-term bearing instruments available to the custodian and charges may be made by
such custodian for which the clients are responsible for. These fees may not be disclosed on the custodian's
statement, if a commingled account is utilized.
Client can elect to pay Advisor for its service by choosing one of the two options:
1. Auto-Deducted Management Fee:
Client authorizes the Custodian to deduct from the
Account and pay to Advisor the management fee for each calendar quarter and any other
March 2025
4
Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC
Part 2A Form ADV – Firm Brochure
fees payable under this Agreement from the Account as such fees become due and
payable, unless otherwise paid directly by Client. Advisor will send to the Custodian and
Client at the same time a bill or invoice showing the amount of the management fee due,
the Account value on which the fee is based, and how the fee was calculated. The
Custodian will send Client a quarterly (or more frequent) statement showing all amounts
paid from the Account, including all management fees paid by Custodian to Advisor.
2. Client-Billed Management Fee:
Management fees will be billed directly to Client (and not
deducted from Client's Account), and Client agrees to pay all management fees within 30
days of Client’s receipt of an invoice from Advisor.
Clients should note that there could be other fees associated with their account in addition to the
Advisor’s management fees. For example, ETFs and mutual funds assess their own internal management
and other fees. In addition, Clients may incur brokerage and other transaction charges (commissions), and
custodial fees. These are assessed by the broker selected for execution and by the custodian(s) clients
choose to hold their assets. Please see Item 12: Brokerage Practices for more information on the Advisor’s
approach to Clients’ brokerage and custody options.
ITEM 6: PERFORMANCE BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC does not receive performance-based fees.
ITEM 7: TYPES OF CLIENTS
Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC currently provides investment advisory services to individuals,
trusts and estates, corporate entities (e.g., closely-held LLCs, etc.), and partnerships.
Clients wishing to employ the GWM total Asset Management strategy must have family assets
under management by the firm of greater than $5 million.
ITEM 8: METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS
The firm designs a custom portfolio for each client while aligning with one of the following four
strategies. Overall account objectives may be achieved using multiple client related accounts.
GWM Core Equity -
A.
Consists of discretionary portfolios at least 90% invested in large
capitalization core style equities or funds emphasizing large capitalization core positions. These
portfolios adhere to a fundamentally disciplined investment approach focusing on a blend of
growth and value. The investment objective is to provide long-term returns in the form of price
appreciation and yield.
GWM Balanced –
B.
Consists of discretionary portfolios that have an objective of capital appreciation
with an additional emphasis on income from dividends and interest. Asset weightings will focus
on large capitalization core equities and mutual funds, with minimum allocation to both taxable
and/or non-taxable fixed income instruments of greater than 10%.
GWM Total Fixed Income –
C.
Consists of discretionary portfolios that are at least 90% invested in
taxable and or non-taxable fixed income instruments, such as corporate and municipal bonds.
Asset weightings will focus on providing income and preserving capital.
GWM Total Asset Management
D.
(family assets over $5 million)– Consists of discretionary portfolios
that have an investment rationale focused on total asset management, as instructed by the client. While
this strategy can employ any mix of the above equity and debt strategies, it also involves a review of a
client’s total asset and debt situation (including external assets) in order to form a comprehensive view
of the client’s net worth and asset mix. Because it is comprehensive, it can be used by the client in a
variety of ways including, but not limited to estate planning, tax planning, and evaluation of alternative
asset investments. Consequently, capital preservation and liquidity are emphasized, and portfolios tend
March 2025
5
Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC
Part 2A Form ADV – Firm Brochure
to carry a lower beta (or inherent volatility when compared to the market benchmark). While these
portfolios tend to focus on stability and yield, they also have higher cash inflows and outflows.
Portfolio Construction
We utilize a “top down" and “bottom up” approach to constructing portfolios. The first phase
considers macro-environmental concerns, with the second offering a far more focused look at a company-
specific factors. During the “top down” component, our process consists of the following key practices: (i)
identifying those sectors or industries that are deemed to offer the greatest investment opportunities
relative to investment risk; (ii) screening with sector and industry diversification in mind; and (iii)
emphasizing those areas of the economy deemed to offer the greatest opportunity.
The “bottom up” phase provides structure to stock selection. Our objective is to select great
companies with compelling ventures and reasonable valuations. The evaluation considers at least two
primary efforts. The first focuses on investing in high quality companies that can be held over a long-term
investment horizon, where such companies exhibit some or all of the following qualities: (i) large
established firms; (ii) great management teams; (iii) strong balance sheets; (iv) industry leader; and (v)
proven track record. The second effort focuses on identifying the following superior business economics:
(i) good or improving profitability; (ii) attractive industry position; (iii) end market demand; and (iv) free
cash flow.
Sell Discipline
Incumbent to constructing enduring portfolios is an intentional, focused discipline for trimming,
closing, or otherwise selling investment positions. Stock holdings are reviewed as possible sale candidates
for one of the following reasons: (a) the price objective assigned by the firm is achieved; (b) the
fundamentals of a company show deterioration; or (c) a negative change in the investment environment
for specific industries or companies occurs which dictates the movement of funds to other industries or
individual stocks.
Tax Efficient Strategy
The tailoring of a portfolio to a client’s unique goals and needs enables the firm to focus on tax
efficiencies when exercising discretion over the investments. In particular, this discipline empowers the
firm: (a) to construct individual tax-efficient portfolios tailored to the individual's investment goals and
risk tolerance; (b) to build customized portfolios offering greater flexibility with respect to the realization
of taxable gains; (c) to maintain low turnover of portfolio positions; (d) to preserve capital and control risk;
and (e) to institute year-end portfolio adjustments driven by the client's unique tax situation.
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear. Some
of the specific risks are listed below.
Equity Securities Risk - Stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may decline
significantly over short time periods. There is the chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock
markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and falling prices. The value of a stock in which
a fund invests may decline due to general weakness in the stock market or because of factors that affect a
company or a particular industry.
Exchange Traded Funds and Mutual Funds - An investment in an ETF or mutual fund involves risk,
including the potential loss of principal. Mutual fund and ETF shareholders are subject to the risks
stemming from the individual issuers of the fund’s underlying portfolio securities. Shareholders in funds
also are responsible for taxes on any fund-level capital gains, as mutual funds and ETFs are required by law
to distribute capital gains in the event, they sell securities for a profit that cannot be offset by a
corresponding loss. The managers of the ETFs and mutual funds selected also may make poor investment
decisions that cause them to underperform the benchmarks to which they compare their performance.
March 2025

Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC
Part 2A Form ADV – Firm Brochure
Fixed Income Security Risk - Bonds have two main sources of risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that
a rise in interest rates will cause the price of a debt security held by the fund to fall. Securities with longer
maturities typically suffer greater declines than those with shorter maturities. Mortgage-backed securities
can react somewhat differently to interest rate changes because falling rates can cause losses of principal
due to increased mortgage prepayments and rising rates can lead to decreased prepayments and greater
volatility. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a debt security will default (fail to make scheduled interest
or principal payments), potentially reducing income distributions and market values. This risk is increased
when a security is downgraded or the perceived creditworthiness of the issuer deteriorates.
ITEM 9: DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC does not have any disciplinary information to disclose.
ITEM 10: OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS
Not applicable.
ITEM 11: CODE OF ETHICS; PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS
The Code of Ethics for Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC is as follows:
A.
B.
C.
D.
Act with integrity, competence, dignity, and in an ethical manner when dealing with the public,
clients, prospects, employers, employees, and fellow members.
Practice and encourage others to practice in a professional and ethical manner that will reflect
credit on members and their profession.
Strive to maintain and improve their competence and the competence of others in the profession.
Use reasonable care and exercise independent professional judgment.
The Advisor’s employees may at times own securities that are also owned by or recommended to
the Advisor’s clients. The purchase and sale of securities must comply with the Advisor’s Statement of
Policy on Personal Investment Transactions. The intent of the Policy is to prevent anyone associated with
the firm from knowingly benefiting in any personal investments due to that person’s position with the firm.
A copy of the Advisor’s Code of Ethics is available upon request by using the contact information found on
the cover of this brochure.
Transactions for clients shall have priority over transactions in securities or other investments of
which an employee is the beneficial owner so that such personal transactions do not operate adversely to
their clients interests, as is consistent with the aforementioned policy.
Personal Trading: Personal trading is an area where a conflict could arise, trading by an employee
ahead of clients. However, all employees check with the trading desk prior to making any trades for their
personal accounts and fill out paperwork on the day they intend to trade for their own account. Should any
employee desire to purchase or sell a security in which Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC is currently
active, a waiting period of one business day will apply, before acting on his own behalf. The employee must
wait until the next business day after the firm has traded for the client to do his or her transaction. After
each quarter, these reports are compared to the corresponding brokerage confirms. This system appears
to control this risk and no violations have been found.
ITEM 12: BROKERAGE PRACTICES
Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC has an arrangement with National Financial Services LLC and
Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (collectively, and together with all affiliates, “Fidelity”) through which
Fidelity provides Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC with “institutional platform services.” The
institutional platform services include, among others, brokerage, custody, and other related services.
March 2025
7
Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC
Part 2A Form ADV – Firm Brochure
Fidelity’s institutional platform services that assist Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC in managing and
administering clients’ accounts include software and other technology that accomplish the following;
(i) provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements, (ii) facilitate
trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts, (iii) provide research,
pricing, and other market data, (iv) facilitate payment of fees from its clients’ accounts, and (v) assist with
back-office functions, record keeping, and client reporting.
Fidelity also offers other services intended to help Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC manage and
further develop its advisory practice. Such services include, but are not limited to, performance reporting,
financial planning, contact management systems, third party research, publications, access to educational
conferences, roundtables, and webinars, practice management resources, access to consultants and other
third-party service providers who provide a wide array of business-related services and technology with
whom Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC may contract directly.
Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC is independently operated and owned and is not affiliated with
Fidelity.
Fidelity generally does not charge its advisor clients separately for custody services but can be
compensated by account holders through commissions and other transaction-related or asset-based fees
for securities trades that are executed through Fidelity or that settle into Fidelity accounts (i.e., transactions
fees are charged for certain no-loan mutual funds, commissions are charged for individual equity and debt
securities transactions). Fidelity provides access to many no-load mutual funds without transaction
charges and other no-loan funds at nominal transaction charges.
In the initial interview with prospective clients, they are offered the opportunity to select a qualified
custodian of their choosing. If no custodian is preferred and the client asks for a suggestion, we normally
recommend Fidelity Investments as we have a number of accounts on the Wealthscape platform. If a full-
service firm is preferred by the client, we normally negotiate a discount off their base rate.
In some cases, Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC is given discretionary authority to determine
the brokerage firms engaged for certain security transactions. This determination is based on several
factors, including but not limited to: (a) where the best execution (price) is likely to be obtained (this is a
function of past experience with individual firms, brokers, and traders and the securities in question); (b)
a brokerage firm’s research and investment ideas that directly impact client portfolios; (c) the operational
aspects of a brokerage firm’s back office (considering, among other things, whether the client receives
payment or securities on a timely basis); and (d) in certain cases, the client’s direction to a specific
brokerage or dealer.
Clients may instruct Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC which broker dealer to use for custody of
any Account and may direct the broker used to execute all transactions for any account. In such a case, the
client will negotiate terms and arrangements for the account with that broker or dealer, and Glass Wealth
Management Co., LLC will use such designated broker or dealer and will not seek better execution services
or prices from any other entity. Generally, transactions in equity securities will be placed and executed
with the independent custodian selected by the client (with the exception of portfolio assets held at a bank
trust department).
Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC does not have any formal soft dollar arrangements.
For bond trades, Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC may aggregate trades from several client
accounts when appropriate. This aggregation is done in an effort to reduce the overall cost of trade
execution for client portfolios. In circumstances where only a portion of the total order is executed,
securities will be allocated based on the Advisor’s professional judgment in an effort to lower overall
transaction costs. Currently, the Adviser does not aggregate orders when trading for equities and as a
result there could be higher trading costs for clients because they miss out on the potential benefits of scale,
such as reduced execution fees or better pricing.
ITEM 13: REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
March 2025
8
Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC
Part 2A Form ADV – Firm Brochure

especially when there are significant changes in any of the following: (i) specific securities prices; (ii)
overall market trends; (iii) monetary and other factors; (iv) significant domestic and international political
events; (v) client investment objectives, risk tolerance, financial concerns, or other client-specific topics; or
(vi) fundamentals of securities held. Examples of factors reviewed would include:
(i) security prices; (ii) size of holdings; (iii) cash reserves; (iv) holding periods; (v) tax consequences; and

they may at any time request or receive reports specific, but not limited to the following: (i) realized and
unrealized gain/loss; (ii) performance; (iii) multi-style attribution; (iv) appraisal with or without income;
(v) transaction(s); and (vi) fixed income maturity schedules.
ITEM 14: CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
Not applicable.

event, it is always made clear to the client that he or she has a direct relationship with the account custodian
and will receive from that custodian regular statements and confirmations. We also make clear that we
receive duplicates and reconcile our accounts to the custodian accounts monthly. Clients are urged to do the
same. It is consistently emphasized that our only power over any accounts is derived from a trading
authorization. We cannot and will not access funds in any manner without written permission from the
client.
ITEM 16: INVESTMENT DISCRETION

Wealth Management Co., LLC has the authority to determine the securities to be bought and sold, in

Wealth Management Co., LLC shall consider voting proxies related to securities held by any client in a
manner that is in the best interest of the client. Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC shall consider only those
factors that relate to the client’s investments or that are established by the client’s written instructions.
Such factors will include how the vote will economically impact and affect the value of the client’s
investment (keeping in mind that, after conducting an appropriate cost-benefit analysis, not voting at all
on a presented proposal may be in the best interest of the client).
Proxy votes generally will be cast in favor of proposals that: (i) maintain or strengthen the shared
interests of shareholders and management; (ii) increase shareholder value; (iii) maintain or increase
March 2025
9
Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC

shareholder influence over the issuer's board of directors and management; (iv) maintain or increase the
rights of shareholders. Proxy votes generally will be cast against proposals having the opposite effect.
In voting on any issue, Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC and its employees shall vote in a prudent
and timely fashion and only after a careful evaluation of the issue(s) presented on the ballot. In exercising
its voting discretion, Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC and its employees shall avoid direct or indirect
conflict of interests raised by such voting decision. Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC will provide
adequate disclosure to the client if any substantive aspect or foreseeable result of the subject matter to be
voted upon raises an actual or potential conflict of interest.
Consistent with the SEC Rule 206(4)-6, Glass Wealth Management Co., LLC will keep certain
records required by applicable laws in connection with its proxy voting activities for clients and shall
provide proxy-voting information to clients upon their written or oral request. A copy of Glass Wealth
Management Co., LLC’s proxy-voting policies and procedures are available upon request.

ITEM 6 SUPERVISION
As we are a small staff of advisors and assistants working together in a small environment. It
therefore is relatively easy to maintain several cross checks on advice given that results in an execution of
any action regarding a client account. Our advisors operate as a team and discuss prospective advice or
actions to be taken in any account and then those actions are generally executed by staff that also provide
compliance oversight on the prospective action. While there are always times when an advisor is discussing
a client account directly with the client, any subsequent action as a result of that discussion involves one
or more other persons in the office. Additionally, since we custody no assets here at the firm, no action can
be taken regarding the dispensation of client assets without written instructions from the client.

any action regarding a client account. Our advisors operate as a team and discuss prospective advice or
actions to be taken in any account and then those actions are generally executed by staff that also provide
compliance oversight on the prospective action. While there are always times when an advisor is discussing
a client account directly with the client, any subsequent action as a result of that discussion involves one
or more other persons in the office. Additionally, since we custody no assets here at the firm, no action can
be taken regarding the dispensation of client assets without written instructions from the client.
