Graham Capital Wealth Management, LLC (“Graham” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Graham is organized as a Limited Liability Company
(“LLC”) under the laws of Delaware and was founded in August 2015. Graham is an owned subsidiary of SSA
Holding Company, LLC, an entity controlled by Stash Graham. SSA Holding Company, LLC is also indirectly
controlled by Graham Capital Holdings, LLC (“Graham Capital Holdings”), an entity controlled by David Graham.
Graham is operated by Stash J. Graham (Principal and Managing Director).
This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory
services provided by Graham. For more information regarding this Disclosure Brochure, please contact Stash
Graham (Managing Director and Chief Compliance Officer) (202) 780-7726.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Graham offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, and estates and
corporations (each referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a
fiduciary, the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith towards each Client and seeks to
mitigate potential conflicts of interest. Graham’s fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code
of Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation
or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Wealth Management Services
Graham provides wealth management services for its Clients. These services generally include a broad range of
comprehensive financial planning in connection with discretionary investment management of Client portfolios.
These services are described below.
Investment Management Services – Graham provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients.
This is achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary
investment management and related advisory services. Graham works closely with each Client to identify their
investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio
strategy. Graham will then construct an investment portfolio consisting of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)
and/or bonds to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize low-cost, diversified mutual
funds and individual stocks to meet the needs of its Clients. The Advisor may retain other types of investments
from the Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other
reasons as identified between the Advisor and the Client.
Graham’s investment approach is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate
positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market
conditions. Graham will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives,
circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place
reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance
by the Advisor.
Graham evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. Graham may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the
portfolio. Graham may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor
may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement. Graham may
recommend selling positions for reasons that include but are not limited to harvesting capital gains or losses,
business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of
the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or
any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.

Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement
accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will
provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over
the assets to an IRA or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to
another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g., commission-based
account to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor earns a new
(or increases its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over
a retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
At no time will Graham accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited
authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within their designated account[s]
at the Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory agreement. For additional information, please
see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Financial Planning Services – Graham will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting
services to Clients pursuant to a written financial planning agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a
Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services
involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s
financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including
but not limited to investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance
needs, and other areas of a Client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.
Graham may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney, or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique
situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s
financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor
may not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of the
contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor
for investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would
increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any
recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects
to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the
transaction through the Advisor.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Graham to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or
more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority, and responsibilities of the Advisor
and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – Graham, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that
seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Graham will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation, and tolerance for risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – Graham will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated
goals and objectives of the Client.

•
Investment Management and Supervision – Graham will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Graham does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are
provided directly by Graham.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, Graham manages $225,860,597 in Client assets, all of which are managed on a
discretionary basis. Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into a written
agreement with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are paid quarterly, at the end of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the
agreement. Wealth management fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of
the calendar quarter. Each Client will generally pay a wealth management fee of up to 1.75% annually based on
several factors, including the complexity of the services to be provided, the level of assets to be managed, and the
overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific reporting requirements,
portfolio restrictions, and other complexities may be charged a higher fee.
The wealth management fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to
the end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take
into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts
managed by Graham will be independently valued by the Custodian. Graham will conduct periodic reviews of the
Custodian’s valuations.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and
other related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C. below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the
Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s]
at the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be
deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the respective quarter end date. The amount due is calculated by applying
the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management with Graham at the end of each
quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting the deduction of
the wealth management fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify the accuracy of these fees as listed on the
Custodian’s brokerage statement as the Custodian does not assume this responsibility. Clients provide written
authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Graham directly from their account[s] held by the
Custodian as part of the wealth management agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties other than Graham in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and securities
execution fees charged by the Custodian, as applicable. The Advisor’s recommended Custodian does not
charge securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in Client accounts but typically charges for mutual

www.grahamcapitalwealth.com
Page 6
funds and other types of investments. The fees charged by Graham are separate and distinct from these
custody and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to Graham for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the
expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are
described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees
for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage, and account reporting),
and a possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of
Graham, but would not receive the services provided by Graham which are designed, among other things, to
assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial
situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees
charged by Graham to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
for additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Wealth Management Services
Graham is compensated for its wealth management services at the end of the quarter after services are rendered.
Either party may terminate the wealth management agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to
the other party. The Client may also terminate the wealth management agreement within five (5) business days of
signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for
bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination, and such fees will be due and payable by the
Client. The Client’s wealth management agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior
consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Graham does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for
securities transactions in any Client account other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Graham Capital Advisors, LLC
Certain Advisory Persons are also licensed as independent insurance professionals of Graham Capital
Advisors, LLC (“Graham Capital Advisors”), an insurance agency under common control with Graham Capital
Holdings. As an insurance professional, Advisory Persons and Graham Capital Advisors will earn commission-
based compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance products they sell to Clients. Insurance
commissions earned by these persons are separate and in addition to Graham's advisory fees. This practice
presents a conflict of interest because a person providing investment advice on behalf of the Advisor, who is
also an insurance agent, has an incentive to recommend insurance products to Clients for the purpose of
generating commissions rather than solely based on Clients’ needs. However, Clients are under no obligation,
contractually or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through Graham Capital Advisors or any Advisory
Person affiliated with the Advisor. Please see Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Graham does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by
Graham are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or
securities held by any Client. Graham does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships
(for example, a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular
investment options to its Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Graham offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, and estates, and
corporations. The amount of each type of Client is available on Graham’s Form ADV Part 1A. These amounts
may change over time and are updated at least annually by the Advisor.
Graham generally requires a minimum relationship size of $40,000, which may be reduced at the sole discretion
of the Advisor.

Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Graham employs multiple methods of analysis including, but not limited to fundamental, technical, and/or
cyclical analysis methods, in developing investment strategies for its Clients. Research and analysis from
Graham are derived from numerous sources, including financial media companies, third-party research
materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities, including annual reports, prospectuses, press
releases, and research prepared by others.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. This criteria
consists generally of ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity
being analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong
investment with a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a
potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the
investment criteria utilized in the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment
performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic
allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 –
Review of Accounts.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in determining
the recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts to identify market
patterns and trends, which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company.
The primary risk in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends
in the future. Even if the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that Graham will be able to
accurately predict such a reoccurrence.
Cyclical analysis is similar to technical analysis in that it involves the analysis of market conditions at a macro
(entire market/economy) or micro (company-specific) level, rather than the overall fundamental analysis of the
health of the particular company that Graham is recommending. The risks with cyclical analysis are similar to
those of technical analysis.
As noted above, Graham generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with
their financial goals. Graham will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year but may hold for
shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times,
Graham may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client
and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector, or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Graham will assist Clients in determining an appropriate
strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a
Client will meet their investment goals.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that
the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of
analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic
indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s
review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk, and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the
Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the
Graham Capital Wealth Management, LLC
1120 Connecticut Ave. NW, Suite 1021, Washington, DC 20036
Phone: (202) 780-7726 | Fax: (202) 836-7732
www.grahamcapitalwealth.com
Page 8
provided information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial
condition, goals, or other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client
accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio
construction process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment approach:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well
as economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the
overall financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading
risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a
large bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements
and may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF
purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a
short time later.
Bond Risks
Bonds are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e., the risk that bond prices
will fall if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to maturity, and the
coupon rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e., the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower
rate than was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e., the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase
at a rate that exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default
risk, i.e., the risk associated with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the company
defaulting on its repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e., the risk associated with a rating agency’s
downgrade of the company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its
debt and (6) Liquidity Risks, i.e., the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available
market for the bond.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of
the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a
mutual fund is typically set daily; therefore, a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have
the same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments
involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to
discuss these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, regulatory, or disciplinary events involving Graham or its management persons.
Graham values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite
due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor and its
Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov
by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 281772.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Graham Capital Advisors, LLC
As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are also licensed insurance professionals of Graham Capital
Advisors, an insurance agency under common control of Graham Capital Holdings. Implementation of insurance
Graham Capital Wealth Management, LLC

Page 9
recommendations is separate and apart from an Advisory Person’s role with Graham. As an insurance
professional, Advisory Persons receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the various
insurance companies whose products are sold. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset regular
advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest in recommending certain products of the insurance
companies. Clients are under no obligation to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor or its
Advisory Persons.
Regis Tax and Accounting, LLC
Graham is affiliated, through common control, with Regis Tax and Accounting, LLC (“Regis Tax and
Accounting”), which is owned and operated by SSA Holdings. Regis Tax and Accounting provides accounting,
tax planning, business consulting, and business bookkeeping services. These services provided by Regis Tax
and Accounting are separate and distinct from the advisory services provided by Graham. The Advisor may
recommend that Clients engage Regis Tax and Accounting for accounting or tax services. Clients are under no
obligation to utilize the services offered by Regis Tax and Accounting.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions, and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Graham has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to each
Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with Graham (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was
developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to the
Client. Graham and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith towards each Client. It
is the obligation of Graham’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code but
also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address employee
ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at (202) 780-7726.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Graham allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Graham does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor
does not act as the general partner of a fund or advise an investment company. Graham does not have a
material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Graham allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients
presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must disclose to Clients and mitigated through policies and
procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public
information controls), gifts and entertainment, outside business activities, and personal securities reporting.
When trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same
securities. The fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made
with more advantageous terms than Client trades or by trading based on material non-public information. This
risk is mitigated by Graham requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for
review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. The Advisor has also adopted written policies and
procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While Graham allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded afterward. At
no time will Graham, or any Supervised Person of Graham, transact in any security to the detriment of
any Client.

Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Graham does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and execution
services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client assets
and authorize Graham to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement.
Further, Graham does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a
trade-by-trade basis.
Where Graham does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the
Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended
Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a custodian not
recommended by Graham. However, if the recommended Custodian is not engaged, the Advisor may be limited
in the services it can provide. Graham may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited
to, the reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, its
reputation, and/or the location of the Custodian's offices.
Graham will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Fidelity Clearing and Custody
Solutions and related divisions and entities of Fidelity Investments, Inc., including National Financial Services,
LLC, and Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC (collectively “Fidelity”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member
SIPC. Fidelity will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian.” Graham maintains an institutional relationship with
Fidelity, whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits from Fidelity.
Graham has established an institutional relationship with Fidelity to assist the Advisor in managing Client
account[s]. Access to the Fidelity platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor. The Fidelity platform includes
brokerage, custody, administrative support, record keeping, technology, and related services designed to support
registered investment advisors like Graham in serving Clients. These services are intended to serve the best
interests of the Advisor’s Clients.
Fidelity may charge brokerage commissions (securities transaction fees) for effecting certain securities
transactions. Fidelity enables the Advisor to obtain certain no-load mutual funds without securities transaction fees
and other no-load funds at nominal transaction charges. Fidelity’s commission rates are generally considered
discounted from customary retail commission rates. However, the commissions and transaction fees charged by
Fidelity may be higher or lower than those charged by other custodians and broker-dealers. Please see Item 14
below for additional information.
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars – Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an
advisor enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for
research and other services. Graham does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or
offered by any broker-dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic
benefits from the Custodian. Please see Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals – Graham does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection
with the recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage – All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis,” where Graham will
place trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all
Client accounts are traded within their respective account[s] at the Custodian. The Advisor will not
engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or
cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security into one Client account from
another Client’s account[s]). Graham will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities
transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. These
costs are determined by the Custodian.

B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain
the most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of
execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. Graham will execute its transactions through
the Custodian as authorized by the Client.
Graham may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the
Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading day. If a block trade cannot be executed in
full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business day must
be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This must be
done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any particular Clients’ accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Stash J. Graham, CCO of
Graham. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently depending on the needs
of the Client.
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a
result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large
deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify Graham if changes occur in
the Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional
reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to
the Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions, and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may
also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by Graham
Graham does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker-dealers, or any
unrelated third party. Graham may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g., attorneys,
accountants, estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients.
Likewise, Graham may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
As noted in item 12, Graham has established an institutional relationship with Fidelity to assist the Advisor in
managing Client account[s].
As part of the arrangement, Fidelity also makes available at no additional charge to the Advisor certain research
and brokerage services, including research services obtained by Fidelity directly from independent research
companies. The Advisor may also receive additional services and support from Fidelity. As a result of receiving
such services for no additional cost, the Advisor may have an incentive to continue to use or expand the use of
Fidelity's services. The Advisor examined this potential conflict of interest when it chose to enter into the
relationship with Fidelity and has determined that the relationship is in the best interests of the Advisor’s Clients
and satisfies its Client obligations, including its duty to seek best execution. Please see Item 12 above.

Page 12
The Advisor receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment
management services to Clients that maintain assets at Fidelity. The software and related systems support may
benefit the Advisor, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times
to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from
a Custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor’s recommendation of this
Custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
Certain Clients may be referred to the Advisor by either an affiliated or unaffiliated party (herein "Promoter") and
receive, directly or indirectly, compensation for the Client referral. In such instances, the Advisor will compensate
the Promoter a fee in accordance with Rule 206(4)-1 of the Advisers Act and any corresponding state securities
requirements. Any such compensation shall be paid solely from the investment advisory fees earned by the
Advisor, and shall not result in any additional charge to the Client.
Item 15 – Custody
Graham does not accept or maintain custody of Client accounts, except for the limited circumstances outlined
below:
Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction
of advisory fees, all Clients for whom Graham exercises discretionary authority must hold their assets with a
"qualified custodian." Clients are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to safeguard their funds and
securities and must instruct Graham to utilize that Custodian for securities transactions on their behalf. Clients
are encouraged to review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any reports provided by
Graham to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Graham generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client
accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be
subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed
to by Graham. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of
such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory agreement containing all
applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Graham will be in accordance with each
Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Graham acknowledges its fiduciary obligation to vote proxies on behalf of those Clients that have delegated to it,
or for which it is deemed to have, proxy voting authority. Graham will vote proxies on behalf of a Client solely in
the best interest of the relevant Client. Graham has established general guidelines for voting proxies. Graham
may also abstain from voting if, based on factors such as expense or difficulty of exercise, it determines that a
Client’s interests are better served by abstaining. Further, because proxy proposals and individual company
facts and circumstances may vary, Graham may vote in a manner that is contrary to the general guidelines if it
believes that it would be in a Client’s best interest to do so. If a proxy proposal presents a material conflict of
interest between Graham and a Client, Graham will determine how to vote that proxy and whether the conflict of
interest will be disclosed to the Client.
Clients may obtain a complete copy of the proxy voting policies and procedures by contacting Graham in writing
and requesting such information. Each client may also request, by contacting Graham in writing, information
concerning the manner in which proxy votes have been cast with respect to portfolio securities held by the
relevant Client during the prior annual period. Clients can send written requests to Stash J. Graham, CCO, at
stash.graham@gahamcapitalwealth.com.

Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Graham nor its management has any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the
ability of Graham to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Graham nor any of its Advisory Persons have

performed six months or more in the future.
