Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Guided Wealth, LLC (“Guided Wealth” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission. The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) under the laws of the
State of Massachusetts. Guided Wealth was founded in March 2022 and became a registered investment advisor in
2026. The Advisor is owned and operated by Blake Barbosa (Chief Executive Officer and Chief Compliance Officer).
This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory
services provided by Guided Wealth.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Guided Wealth offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, and
businesses (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. Guided Wealth'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
Guided Wealth provides customized wealth management services for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous
personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management services and a broad
range of comprehensive financial planning.
Investment Management Services – The Advisor provides discretionary investment management services. Guided
Wealth 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. Guided Wealth will then construct an investment portfolio,
consisting of low-cost, diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to achieve the Client’s
investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize individual stocks, bonds, alternative investments and/or other types
of investments, as appropriate, to meet the needs of the Client. 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.
Guided Wealth’s investment strategies are 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.
Guided Wealth 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.
Guided Wealth evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. Guided Wealth may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the
portfolio. Guided Wealth 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.
Guided Wealth 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.
At no time will Guided Wealth 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 the designated account[s] at the
Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.

Page 4
Use of Independent Managers – The Advisor will recommend that Clients utilize one or more unaffiliated investment
managers or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a portion of a Client’s investment
portfolio, based on the Client’s needs and objectives. The Advisor will perform initial and ongoing oversight and due
diligence over each Independent Manager to ensure the strategy remains aligned with Client’s investment objectives
and overall best interests. The Advisor will also assist the Client in the development of the initial policy
recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. The Advisor will ensure that each Independent
Manager is properly licensed, notice filed, or exempt from registration. The Client will be provided with the
Independent Manager's Form ADV Part 2A - Disclosure Brochure (or a brochure that makes the appropriate
disclosures).
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 will earn a new (or increase 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.
Financial Planning Services – The Advisor provides a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients
as part of its wealth management services. The Advisor also provides stand-alone financial planning services
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, estate 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.
Guided Wealth 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 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 Guided Wealth 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:

•
Investment Management and Supervision – Guided Wealth will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Guided Wealth does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program.
E. Assets Under Management
As of May 4, 2026, Guided Wealth manages $105,320,637 in Client assets, all of which is 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 one or more
written agreements with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are paid in advance of each month pursuant to the terms of the wealth management
agreement. Wealth management fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of the
prior month. All Clients in the first year of service will be charged a stand-alone financial planning fee ranging up to
$50,000 per year. Following the first year of service, the stand-alone financial planning fee will be waived for Clients
with a wealth management fee valued at twice the amount of the projected financial planning fee. Wealth
management fees are based on the following blended tier schedule:
Assets Under Management ($)
Up to $1,000,000
$1,000,001 to $2,000,000
$2,000,001 to $5,000,000
$5,000,001 to $10,000,000
$10,000,001 to $25,000,000
$25,000,001 to $50,000,000
$50,000,001 and over
Annual Rate (%)
1.15%
1.00%
0.85%
0.80%
0.70%
0.40%
0.30%
The wealth management fee in the first month of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the
end of the first month. 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
Guided Wealth will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the
Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing.
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.
Use of Independent Managers – As noted in Item 4, the Advisor will implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment
portfolio utilizing one or more Independent Managers. To eliminate any conflict of interest, the Advisor does not earn
Guided Wealth, LLC
6 Sleepy Hollow Road, Dartmouth, MA 02747
Phone: (508) 980-0999
http://guidedwealthplanning.com/
Page 6
any compensation from an Independent Manager. The Advisor will only earn its investment advisory fee as described
above. Independent Managers typically do not offer any fee discounts but may have a breakpoint schedule which will
reduce the fee with an increased level of assets placed under management with an Independent Manager. The terms
of such fee arrangements are included in the Independent Manager’s disclosure brochure and applicable contract[s]
with the Independent Manager. The total blended fee, including the Advisor’s fee and the Independent Manager’s
fee, will generally not exceed 2.75% annually. Certain Independent Managers may allocate to alternative investments
which charge performance-based fees, subject to gains above a high-water mark. The presence of performance-
based fees may increase the total blended fee paid to the Advisor and Independent Manager. Such fee arrangements
are fully disclosed to the Client prior to recommending the alternative investment[s].
Financial Planning Services
Guided Wealth offers financial planning services as part of its overall wealth management services and fees. However,
Clients will be charged an ongoing financial planning ranging up to $50,000 per year until the value of the wealth
management fee is twice the amount of the projected financial planning fee. Fees may be negotiable based on the
nature and complexity of the services to be provided and the overall relationship with the Advisor. An estimate for total
costs will be provided to the Client prior to engaging for these services.
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 beginning of the respective month. The amount due is calculated by applying the
monthly rate (annual rate divided by 12) to the total assets under management with Guided Wealth at the end of the
prior month. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of
the wealth management fee. Clients are urged to also review and compare the statement provided by the Advisor to
the brokerage statement from the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform a verification of fees. Clients provide
written authorization permitting wealth management fees to be deducted by Guided Wealth to be paid directly from
their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the wealth management agreement and separate account forms
provided by the Custodian.
Use of Independent Managers – For Client accounts implemented through an Independent Manager, the Client’s
overall fees will include Guided Wealth’s wealth management fee (as noted above) plus investment management
fees and/or platform fees charged by the Independent Manager. The Advisor will assume the responsibility for
calculating the Client’s fees and deducting all fees from the Client’s account[s].
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning fees for ongoing engagements are invoiced monthly, quarterly, or annually (“Billing Period”) in
advance, as agreed upon between the Advisor and the Client. Clients may choose to pay financial planning fees via
check, credit card, or ACH payment, or have their fees deducted from a non-qualified investment account managed by
the Advisor. Credit card and ACH payments are completed through a third-party payment processor that will capture
and process the Client’s account/routing numbers. The third-party payment processor is not affiliated or related to the
Advisor.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Guided Wealth, 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 a Client's account, provided that the account meets the terms
and conditions of the Custodian's brokerage requirements. However, the Custodian typically charges for mutual funds
and other types of investments. The fees charged by Guided Wealth are separate and distinct from these custody
and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to Guided Wealth 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
Guided Wealth, LLC

Phone: (508) 980-0999
http://guidedwealthplanning.com/
Page 7
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 Guided
Wealth, but would not receive the services provided by Guided Wealth 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
Guided Wealth 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
Guided Wealth may be compensated for its wealth management services in advance of the month in which 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. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid wealth management fees from
the effective date of termination to the end of the month. The Client’s wealth management agreement with the Advisor
is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Use of Independent Managers – In the event that the Advisor has determined that an Independent Manager is no
longer in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will have the discretion to terminate the relationship with the
Independent Manager. The terms for termination are set forth in the respective agreements between the Advisor and
the Independent Managers.
Financial Planning Services
Guided Wealth requires an advance deposit as described above. Either party may terminate the financial planning
agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the
financial planning 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. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid
planning fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the Billing Period. The Client’s financial planning
agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Guided Wealth 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.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Guided Wealth does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by
Guided Wealth are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or
securities held by any Client.
Guided Wealth 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
Guided Wealth offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, and
businesses. Guided Wealth generally does not impose a minimum relationship size.

Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Guided Wealth employs a fundamental analysis method in developing investment strategies for its Clients. Research
and analysis from Guided Wealth 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.
As noted above, Guided Wealth generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with
their financial goals. Guided Wealth 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, Guided
Wealth 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. Guided Wealth 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 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 strategies:
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
Guided Wealth, LLC
6 Sleepy Hollow Road, Dartmouth, MA 02747
Phone: (508) 980-0999
http://guidedwealthplanning.com/
Page 9
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. There is also a risk that
Authorized Participants are unable to fulfill their responsibilities. Authorized Participants are one of the major parties
involved with ETF creation/redemption mechanism in the markets. The Authorized Participants play a critical role in
the liquidity of ETFs and essentially have the exclusive right to change the supply of ETF shares in the market. If the
Authorized Participants does not fulfill this expected role, there could be an adverse impact on liquidity and the
valuation of an ETF.
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.
Alternative Investments (Limited Partnerships)
The performance of alternative investments (limited partnerships) can be volatile and may have limited liquidity. An
investor could lose all or a portion of their investment. Such investments often have concentrated positions and
investments that may carry higher risks. Client should only have a portion of their assets in these investments.
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 Guided Wealth or its owner. Guided Wealth
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 or 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# 339013.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Use of Independent Managers
As noted in Item 4, the Advisor may implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio with one or more
Independent Managers. The Advisor does not receive any compensation nor does this present a material conflict of
interest. The Advisor will only earn its wealth management fee as described in Item 5.A.
Guided Risk Solutions, LLC
Guided Risk Solutions, LLC (“Guided Risk”) is affiliated and under common control as Guided Wealth. No Advisory
Persons of Guided Wealth will offer or sell insurance products through Guided Risk. However, Guided Wealth may
recommend the services of Guided Risk, where employees of Guided Risk may earn commission-based

Page 10
compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance products sold to Clients. Insurance commissions
earned by employees of Guided Risk are separate and in addition to advisory fees charged by Guided Wealth. This
practice presents a conflict of interest as Guided Wealth has an incentive to recommend the services and insurance
products provided by Guided Risk to the Client. Clients are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to
purchase insurance products through Guided Risk.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Guided Wealth 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 Guided Wealth (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was
developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to each Client.
Guided Wealth and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is
the obligation of Guided Wealth’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 (508) 980-0999 or via email at
team@guidedwealthllc.com.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Guided Wealth allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Guided Wealth 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. Guided Wealth does not have a
material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Guided Wealth 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 be disclosed 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 Guided Wealth 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 Guided Wealth 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 afterwards.
At no time will Guided Wealth, or any Supervised Person of Guided Wealth, transact in any security to the
detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Guided Wealth 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 Guided Wealth to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement.
Further, Guided Wealth does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a
trade-by-trade basis.
Where Guided Wealth 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 Custodian recommended
Guided Wealth, LLC

Phone: (508) 980-0999
http://guidedwealthplanning.com/
Page 11
by the Advisor and will not incur any extra fee or cost associated with using a custodian not recommended by Guided
Wealth. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is not
engaged. Guided Wealth may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness
of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, and its reputation and/or the location of
the Custodian’s offices.
The Advisor will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Altruist Financial LLC (“Altruist”), a
FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Altruist will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian”. The
Advisor maintains an institutional relationship with Altruist, whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits.
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. Guided Wealth 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 - Guided Wealth 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 Guided Wealth 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]. 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]). Guided Wealth 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. Guided Wealth will execute its transactions through the
Custodian as authorized by the Client. Guided Wealth 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 Blake Barbosa, Chief Compliance
Officer of Guided Wealth. 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 Guided Wealth 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.

Page 12
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 Guided Wealth
Guided Wealth is a fee-based advisory firm, that is compensated solely by its Clients and not from any investment
product. Guided Wealth does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker-dealers
or any un-related third party. Guided Wealth 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, Guided Wealth may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
The Advisor has established an institutional relationship with Altruist to assist the Advisor in managing Client
account[s]. The Advisor receives access to software and related support because the Advisor renders investment
management services to Clients that maintain assets at Altruist. 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 potential 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
The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for Client
referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
The Advisor is authorized to deduct its fees from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Client must place all
assets with a “qualified custodian”. The Client is required to engage the Custodian to retain all funds and securities
and direct the Advisor to utilize that Custodian for security transactions in the account[s]. The Client should review
statements provided by the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For more information about
custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Guided Wealth 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 Guided Wealth. 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 Guided Wealth will be in accordance with
each Client's investment objectives and goals.

Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Guided Wealth does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements directly
from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client retains the
sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Guided Wealth, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the
ability of Guided Wealth to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Guided Wealth, nor any of its Advisory Persons,
have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Guided Wealth is not required to deliver a balance sheet
along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for services to
be performed six months or more in the future.

CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® Professional
I am certified for financial planning services in the United States by Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards,
Inc. (“CFP Board”). Therefore, I may refer to myself as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional or a CFP®
professional, and I may use these and the other certification marks (the “CFP Board Certification Marks”) that Certified
Financial Planner Board of Standards Center for Financial Planning, Inc. has licensed to CFP Board in the United
States. The CFP® certification is voluntary. No federal or state law or regulation requires financial planners to hold
the CFP® certification. You may find more information about the CFP® certification at www.cfp.net.
CFP® professionals have met CFP Board’s high standards for education, examination, experience, and ethics. To
become a CFP® professional, an individual must fulfill the following requirements:
● Education – Earn a bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited college or university and complete CFP
Board-approved coursework at a college or university through a CFP Board Registered Program. The
coursework covers the financial planning subject areas CFP Board has determined are necessary for the
competent and professional delivery of financial planning services, as well as a comprehensive financial plan
development capstone course. A candidate may satisfy some of the coursework requirement through other
qualifying credentials. CFP Board implemented the bachelor’s degree or higher requirement in 2007 and the
financial planning development capstone course requirement in March 2012. Therefore, a CFP® professional
who first became certified before those dates may not have earned a bachelor’s or higher degree or
completed a financial planning development capstone course.
● Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination is designed to
assess an individual’s ability to integrate and apply a broad base of financial planning knowledge in the
context of real-life financial planning situations.
● Experience – Complete 6,000 hours of professional experience related to the personal financial planning
process, or 4,000 hours of apprenticeship experience that meets additional requirements.

(“Code and Standards”), which sets forth the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements to remain
certified and maintain the right to continue to use the CFP Board Certification Marks:
● Ethics – Commit to complying with CFP Board’s Code and Standards. This includes a commitment to CFP
Board, as part of the certification, to act as a fiduciary, and therefore, act in the best interests of the client, at
all times when providing financial advice and financial planning. CFP Board may sanction a CFP®
professional who does not abide by this commitment, but CFP Board does not guarantee a CFP®
professional's services. A client who seeks a similar commitment should obtain a written engagement that
includes a fiduciary obligation to the client.

parties before any personal information is disclosed. Client opt-in is obtained through the Client’s execution of authorization
forms provided by the third parties, by executing an Information Sharing Authorization Form, or by other written consent by
the Client, as appropriate and consistent with applicable laws and regulations.

We will send you a copy of this Policy annually for as long as you maintain an ongoing relationship with us.
Periodically we may revise this Policy and will provide you with a revised Policy if the changes materially alter the
previous Privacy Policy. We will not, however, revise our Privacy Policy to permit the sharing of non-public personal

prevent the information sharing.
