About Our Firm
Guilbault Capital, LLC (“Guilbault Capital”) is a registered investment adviser that provides
investment management and financial advisory services to individual and institutional investors to
help them achieve their financial needs and goals. Guilbault Capital has been a registered investment
adviser since 2024. Charles Guilbault is the sole shareholder of the firm.
Guilbault Capital takes pride in providing personalized service to our clients and acknowledges that
it is held to a fiduciary standard of care.
Types of Advisory Services We Offer
Guilbault Capital offers a variety of investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth
individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, and businesses/corporations. These services include:
Investment and wealth management
•
• Selection of other advisers
• Financial planning and consulting
• Fiduciary and non-fiduciary services for plan sponsors
We work with our clients to determine their investment objectives and risk profile and develop and
execute a customized investment plan based on their individual needs and goals. Guilbault Capital
utilizes the financial information provided by clients to analyze and develop strategies and solutions
to assist clients in meeting their financial goals.
Prior to Guilbault Capital rendering any of the foregoing services, clients are required to enter into
one or more written advisory agreements with Guilbault Capital setting forth the relevant terms and
conditions of the advisory relationship.
Investment and Wealth Management Services
As part of our investment and wealth management services, we offer:
Investment policy development
Investment and portfolio monitoring
•
• Asset allocation analysis
• Product due diligence
•
• Wealth management strategies
Guilbault Capital manages our clients’ portfolios on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis.
Our investment and wealth management services are tailored to the needs of our clients and are
4
based on a comprehensive understanding of each client’s current situation, past experiences, and
future goals. With this acquired knowledge we create, analyze, strategize, and implement goal-
oriented investment solutions. These solutions become our clients’ investment policy. This policy
and our matched strategies are designed to be risk appropriate, cost effective and tax efficient.
Client assets are primarily allocated among stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") and
mutual funds in accordance with the client's stated investment objective and risk/volatility
parameters. We may also recommend clients allocate a certain portion of their assets to alternative
investments and/or fee-based annuities based upon the specific needs and risk tolerance of the
client. Clients may also engage Guilbault Capital to manage or provide advice on investment
products that are not maintained at the client’s primary custodian (held away accounts), such as
variable life insurance and annuity contracts, as well as assets held in employer sponsored
retirement plans and qualified tuition plans (i.e., 529 plans). These assets are generally maintained
at the underwriting insurance company or custodian for the plan trustee or administrator and clients
typically retain responsibility for effecting trades in these accounts. In certain situations, Guilbault
Capital retains discretion to manage held away accounts, such as a management and monitoring of
subaccounts in a fee-based variable annuity. You should refer to your advisory agreement for the
specific terms of the investment and wealth management services Guilbault Capital provides for
your account(s).
Guilbault Capital consults with clients on an initial and ongoing basis to assess their specific risk
tolerance, time horizon, liquidity constraints and other related factors relevant to the management
of their portfolios. You should promptly notify us if there are changes in your financial situation or
if you wish to place any limitations on the management of your account. You may impose
reasonable restrictions or mandates on the management of your account if Guilbault Capital
determines, in our sole discretion, the conditions will not materially impact the performance of a
management strategy or prove overly burdensome to the firm's management efforts.
To the extent your assets are invested in a particular fund, those funds will have their own
investment practices, which are described in each fund’s prospectus or offering or other disclosure
documents. In addition, selected funds typically have discretion to determine the type and amount
of securities to be purchased or sold for the portion of the assets managed by the fund.
Selection of Third-Party Asset Managers
Guilbault Capital may select certain third-party asset managers to actively manage all or a portion
of its clients' assets. Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory agreement, Guilbault Capital
shall have the discretion to appoint and terminate these third-party managers. The specific terms
and conditions under which a client engages a third-party manager may also be set forth in a
separate written agreement with the designated manager. Certain third-party managers require a
separate investment advisory agreement directly with the manager, while others do not. In addition
to this brochure, clients will also receive the written disclosure documents of the third-party engaged
to manage their assets.
5
Guilbault Capital evaluates a variety of information about third-party managers, which may include
the manager’s public disclosure documents, materials supplied by the manager and other third-party
analyses we believe are reputable. To the extent possible, Guilbault Capital seeks to assess the
manager’s investment strategies, past performance, and risk results in relation to its clients'
individual portfolio allocations and risk exposure. Guilbault Capital also takes into consideration
each manager’s management style, returns, reputation, financial strength, reporting, pricing, and
research capabilities, among other factors.
Third-party asset managers utilized by Guilbault Capital include:
• Unified managed account managers and a mutual fund advisory program available through
Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”).
Guilbault Capital continues to provide services relative to the discretionary or non-discretionary
selection of third-party managers. On an ongoing basis, Guilbault Capital monitors the performance
of those accounts being managed by third-party managers. Guilbault seeks to ensure third-party
managers’ strategies and target allocations remain aligned with the client's investment objectives
and overall best interests.
Programs Offered Through Wells Fargo
When utilizing third-party managers through Wells Fargo Advisors or managers available through a
program offered by Wells Fargo, investment management services are provided through the
Personalized Unified Managed Account Program or FundSource Program. The Wells Fargo
programs require clients to sign an investment advisory agreement for access to their programs in
addition to our investment management agreement.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
Guilbault Capital offers different levels of financial planning and consulting services to help our
clients identify, prioritize and work towards their goals and objectives. Our consulting services give
our clients the ability to receive a broad range of financial advice and services, including specific
security recommendations, for the duration of the advisory agreement.
Our process starts with an extensive review of a client's family situation, which includes assets and
liabilities, as well as estate, tax, and insurance needs. We then employ a risk tolerance and risk
capacity-focused simulation to get a detailed cash flow analysis and proposed asset allocation.
Together, this information is analyzed to develop a proposed financial plan, which is designed to be
dynamic in nature, evolving overtime due to life changes, along with changes in cash flow needs,
risk tolerance, time horizon or investment objectives.
Guilbault Capital’s financial planning and consulting services may include any of the following
topics:
6
• Liability Management
• Cash Flow Analysis and Forecasting
Investment Consulting
•
• Risk Management
• Distribution Planning
• Trust & Estate Planning
• Tax Planning
• Charitable Giving
Insurance Review
•
• Education Planning
• Next Generation Family
• Business Planning
• Retirement Plan Consulting and
Employee Benefits Analysis
• Retirement Planning
While each of these services is available on a stand-alone basis, certain financial planning services
are rendered in conjunction with investment and wealth management services. In performing these
services, Guilbault Capital is not required to verify any information received from the client or from
the client's other engaged professionals (e.g., attorneys, accountants, etc.), and is expressly
authorized to rely on such information. Guilbault Capital may recommend clients engage the firm
for additional related services, or we may recommend other professionals to implement our
recommendations. These additional services by Guilbault Capital or another professional are
provided at an additional cost to you, which is based on the nature, extent, complexity, and other
characteristics of the services. This creates a conflict of interest because we will have an incentive to
recommend additional services based on the compensation to be received by Guilbault Capital,
rather than solely based on your needs, and in some cases, based on the prospect of cross-referrals of
advisory clients from the other professional or his or her firm. Implementation of financial planning
recommendations is entirely at your discretion. You have complete freedom in selecting another
financial adviser to assist you with implementing the recommendations made in your financial plan
and are under no obligation to act on the advice of Guilbault Capital. Financial planning
recommendations are of a generic nature and are not limited to any specific product or service
offered by a broker dealer or insurance company. Should you choose to implement the
recommendations contained in the plan, Guilbault Capital suggests you work closely with your
attorney, accountant and/or insurance agent.
Guilbault Capital will act solely in our capacity as a registered investment adviser and does not
provide any legal, accounting or tax advice. You should seek the counsel of a qualified accountant
and/or attorney when necessary. As part of our advisory services, from time to time we assist clients
with tax loss harvesting and work with the client’s tax specialist to answer any questions related to
the client’s portfolio. Any incidental tax discussions on topics, such as required minimum
distributions, retirement plan contributions, etc., should be verified with your tax advisor.
Fiduciary and Non-Fiduciary Services for Plan Sponsors
Retirement plan sponsors may retain our firm to provide advisory and consulting services for plan
assets. Fiduciary services available to plan sponsors include:
7
• Reviewing and assisting in the establishment of investment policies and objectives on behalf
of the plan
• Assistance with development of an Investment Policy Statement
• Recommending core investments to be offered to plan participants for selection by the plan
sponsor
• Recommending investment managers, within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(38), on
behalf of the plan, to be offered as investment options for plan participants
• Monitoring of the plan’s investments or investment managers in accordance with the plan’s
Investment Policy Statement or other relevant guidelines
Non-fiduciary consulting services available to plan sponsors include:
• Educating plan participants on investment options available within the plan
• Preparation of periodic performance reports for the plan’s investments
• Assistance with monitoring the reasonableness of the fees and expenses of the plan’s
investments or investment managers in accordance with the plan’s Investment Policy
Statement or other relevant guidelines
• Benchmarking existing plan service providers to industry peers, and where appropriate,
conducting a search for new providers for the plan sponsor’s consideration and providing our
recommendation
Portfolio Management Services for Wrap Fee Program
Guilbault Capital offers portfolio management services through a wrap fee program. A bundled or
“wrap fee” program is an advisory fee program under which you pay one bundled fee to compensate
Guilbault Capital for portfolio management, transaction costs and custodial services. A wrap fee
program may not be the lowest cost option if you would like to restrict your investments to open-end
mutual funds or other long-term investment products.
Amount of Assets We Manage
As of December 2024, Guilbault Capital manages approximately $177,715,935 of assets on a
discretionary basis and $139,708,414 of assets on a non-discretionary basis. Discretionary assets
under management are those for which we have an ongoing responsibility to select and make
securities recommendations that are in line with your financial needs and objectives and then effect
those securities transactions without first consulting you. Non-discretionary assets under
management are those for which we have an ongoing responsibility to select and make securities
recommendations that are in line with your financial needs and objectives and then effect those
securities transactions only after consulting with you to inform you of the transaction(s) and
obtaining your approval to move forward. Assets under advisements are assets of participant-
directed 401k plans and other self-directed retirement plans for which Guilbault Capital provides
investment advice but are not deemed assets under management.

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
How We Are Compensated for Our Advisory Services
Our fees vary among the different types of advisory services we offer and may be negotiated at our
sole discretion. The specific fees and way fees are charged and calculated are described in your
investment advisory agreement. You should carefully review the investment advisory agreement
prior to signing it.
Fees for our advisory services may be higher than fees charged by other advisers who offer similar
services. You may be charged different fees than similarly situated clients for the same services based
upon the complexity of your needs. You should carefully review this brochure to understand the fees
and other sources of compensation that exist among our services prior to entering into an investment
advisory contract with our firm.
Investment and Wealth Management Services
Guilbault Capital offers investment and wealth management services for an annual fee based on the
amount of assets under the firm’s management. Fees are generally billed in advance each calendar
quarter based on the market value of the assets under management/advisement on the last day of the
previous calendar quarter. The maximum fee rate for new clients is as follows:
Maximum Annual
Advisory Fee
1.50%
Fees are based on cumulative household assets under management. However, certain ERISA rules
prevent householding corporate plans with personal assets for fee reductions. You should refer to
your advisory agreement for your specific fee rate(s).
From time to time, Guilbault Capital provides advice on legacy positions held in client portfolios as
part of the client’s overall investment management strategy. In these situations, Guilbault Capital
includes the value of the legacy positions in the assets under management used to determine the
client’s advisory fee. For investment and wealth management services Guilbault Capital provides to
certain clients or for specific client holdings (e.g., held-away assets, 529 plans, etc.), we may
negotiate a fee rate that differs substantially from our standard fee.
Selection of Independent Managers
Fees for third-party asset managers are set forth by the manager and may be included in or in
addition to Guilbault Capital’s advisory fees. You should refer to the third-party manager’s Form
ADV Part 2A Brochure for information on their fees and compensation.

Programs Offered Through Wells Fargo
When utilizing the programs offered by Wells Fargo Advisors, investment management services
are provided by third-party money managers through the Personalized Unified Managed Account
Program and Fundsource Program. Wells Fargo Advisors requires clients to sign an investment
advisory agreement for access to the programs in addition to our investment management
agreement.
Fees for advisory programs offered through Wells Fargo are as follows:
Maximum Annual Advisory Fee
1.75%
Program
Personalized Unified
Managed Account
FundSource
1.50%
Program Type
Unified Managed
Account
Mutual Fund Advisory
Program
Advisory fees for the Personalized Unified Managed Account Program include Guilbault Capital’s
advisory fees as well as the third-party managers’ fees. Guilbault Capital’s portion of the total fee
includes a platform fee that is paid to Wells Fargo for access to the program. The advisory fee and
third-party managers’ fees are listed on the account statement provided to you by the custodian.
Wells Fargo will calculate and directly debit Guilbault Capital’s advisory fees and the third-party
managers’ fees from clients’ accounts. You should refer to your advisory agreement for your specific
fee rate(s).
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
Fees for financial planning and consulting services are billed at a fixed or hourly rate and are billed
in advance. Our fixed financial planning and consulting fees vary based on the client’s specific needs
and can range up to $20,000.
Fees for financial planning and consulting services are due and payable as incurred. While financial
planning and consulting services are available on a stand-alone basis, certain services may also be
rendered in conjunction with investment and wealth management services at no additional cost.
You should refer to your contract for specific fee information.
Factors we consider when determining our financial planning and consulting fees include, but are
not limited to:
• The amount of time we expect to spend completing the financial planning or consulting
services and providing related advice
• The complexity of your goals, issues and/or needs
• The extensiveness and complexity of the data needed regarding your personal financial
information
10
• Your net worth or the value of your investment accounts and/or other assets that are the
subject of the financial planning or consulting services
• Special circumstances related to life changes, marital status, health or special income needs,
or growth or decline of a personal business
Guilbault Capital may request a retainer to initiate financial planning and consulting services;
however, we will not request the prepayment of fees more than $1,200 in advisory fees more than six
months in advance.
You may engage Guilbault Capital for additional investment management services to assist with
implementing one or more financial planning recommendations. You will incur additional fees if
you retain our firm for such services. You have complete freedom in selecting another investment
adviser to assist you in implementing any recommendations by Guilbault Capital and are under no
obligation to act upon the advice we provide.
For stand-alone financial planning services, the agreement between Guilbault Capital and the client
will terminate upon delivery of the plan or completion of the service. For consulting services, the
investment advisory agreement between Guilbault Capital and the client will continue in effect until
terminated by either party.
Fiduciary and Non-Fiduciary Services for Plan Sponsors
Fees for retirement plan sponsors are negotiable. Fees are based upon the value of the plan assets
that are the subject of the consulting services and are generally payable in arrears on a quarterly
basis. Fees for one-time projects are payable either upon completion of the project or half paid upon
execution of the agreement with the balance due upon completion of the project.
Payment of Fees
By signing our investment management agreement, you authorize Guilbault Capital to instruct the
account custodian to directly debit fees from your managed account unless otherwise noted.
Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be charged a prorated fee.
Fees for our advisory services generally require you to pay investment advisory fees in advance of
receiving services. Any pre-paid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded. Advisory fees are
prorated for additions and withdrawals of more than $100,000 to or from an account throughout the
quarter.
• For investment and wealth management services, refunds are calculated by taking the total
advisory fee billed for the calendar quarter, dividing that amount by the number of days in
the calendar quarter and multiplying that amount by the number of days services were not
provided during the calendar quarter.
• For financial planning and consulting services, refunds are calculated based on the value of
the services that were completed prior to termination of the advisory agreement.
11
• For one-time consulting projects that are partly paid upon execution of the agreement, the
amount of the refund is calculated based on the value of the services that were completed.
Any earned, unpaid fees will be due and payable upon termination of the advisory contract.
Other Types of Fees and Expenses You May Incur
Clients may incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, third-party investments and other
third parties, such as custodial fees, odd-lot differentials, ADR service charges, transfer taxes, wire
transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities
transactions. Decisions to reallocate your account assets may result in you incurring a redemption
fee imposed by one or more mutual funds held in your account. Mutual funds and exchange traded
funds also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. Such
charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to Guilbault Capital’s fee. Guilbault
Capital shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs, including any
distribution or “12b-1” fees paid by the mutual funds in which your account assets are invested.
There may be times when another broker-dealer is used to execute fixed-income trades (commonly
referred to as “trading away” or “step out trades”). In instances where Guilbault Capital has
determined it is in the client’s best interest to utilize another broker-dealer to execute a transaction,
the cost of the transaction will be included in the wrap program fee.
Other Types of Compensation We Receive
Guilbault Capital has contracted with TradePMR, Inc. (“TradePMR”) for brokerage services,
including trade processing, collection of management fees, marketing assistance and research. Item
12 – Brokerage Practices further describes the factors that Guilbault Capital considers in selecting or
recommending broker-dealers for client transactions and determining the reasonableness of their
compensation (e.g., commissions).
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Guilbault Capital does not charge any performance-based fees or participate in side-by-side
management.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Guilbault Capital provides investment and wealth management services to individuals, high net
worth individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, and businesses and corporations.
Guilbault Capital generally requires a minimum initial investment of $100,000 for investment and
wealth management services, as well as an ongoing minimum account size of $25,000. The firm, in
its sole discretion, may waive these minimums based on a client’s particular circumstances.
12
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies
Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
Guilbault Capital carefully constructs a risk-adjusted, tax-efficient, and cost-effective asset allocation
strategy based on a client’s unique cash flow needs, stated return and risk profile. Security selection
is based on qualitative, quantitative, technical, and relative strength metrics. Portfolio holdings are
monitored on an ongoing basis and adjusted as market conditions and our clients’ circumstances
dictate. Clients may hold or retain other types of assets as well and Guilbault Capital may offer
advice regarding those assets as part of our services. Advice regarding such assets generally will not
be covered under our investment and wealth management services.
Guilbault Capital predominantly utilizes a combination of active and passive strategies to allocate
client assets primarily among stocks, bonds, ETFs and mutual funds. Individual client circumstances
may dictate the use of other types of securities or alternative investments. Depending upon the
client’s financial needs, strategies implemented might include long-term purchases (securities held at
least a year), short term purchases (securities sold within a year), short sales, margin transactions,
option writing, including covered options, uncovered options or spreading strategies, and other
securities transactions.
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that you should be prepared to bear. All investments
present the risk of loss of principal – the risk that the value of securities (e.g., stocks, mutual funds,
ETFs, bonds, etc.), when sold or otherwise disposed of, may be less than the price paid for the
securities. Even when the value of the securities when sold is greater than the price paid, there is the
risk that the appreciation will be less than inflation. In other words, the purchasing power of the
proceeds may be less than the purchasing power of the original investment. There is no guarantee
that the investment recommendations made by our firm will be successful. We cannot assure you
that your account will increase, preserve capital, or generate income, nor can we assure you that
your investment objectives will be realized. Although all investments involve risk, our investment
advice seeks to limit risk through diversification among various asset classes.
We may recommend a variety of security types for your account to help you achieve your individual
needs and goals. Described below are the material risks associated with investing in the types of
securities we generally hold/recommend in client accounts:
Product Risks
Equity Securities
In general, prices of equity securities (common, convertible preferred stocks and other securities
whose values are tied to the price of stocks, such as rights, warrants and convertible debt securities)
are more volatile than those of fixed-income securities. The prices of equity securities could decline
in value if the issuer’s financial condition declines or in response to overall market and economic
13
conditions. Investments in smaller companies and mid-size companies may involve greater risk and
price volatility than investments in larger, more mature companies.
Fixed-Income Securities
The return and principal value of bonds fluctuate with changes in market conditions. Fixed-income
securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit quality risk. The market value of fixed-income
securities generally declines when interest rates rise, and an issuer of fixed-income securities could
default on its payment obligations. Changes in interest rates generally have a greater effect on bonds
with longer maturities than on those with shorter maturities. If bonds are not held to maturity, they
may be worth more or less than their original value. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer
of a bond will not be able to make principal and/or interest payments. High yield bonds, also known
as “junk bonds,” carry a higher risk of loss of principal and income than higher rated investment
grade bonds.
Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)
ETFs are typically investment companies that are legally classified as open-end mutual funds or unit
investment trusts. ETFs differ from traditional mutual funds in that ETF shares are listed on a
securities exchange. Shares can be bought and sold throughout the trading day like shares of other
publicly traded companies. ETF shares may trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value.
This difference between the bid price and ask price is often referred to as the “spread.” The spread
varies over time based on the ETF’s trading volume and market liquidity. It is generally lower if the
ETF has high trading volume and market liquidity and higher if the ETF has low trading volume
and market liquidity. Liquidity risks are higher for ETFs with a large spread. ETFs may be closed
and liquidated at the discretion of the issuing company.
Mutual Funds
Mutual funds may invest in different types of securities, such as value or growth stocks, real estate
investment trusts, corporate bonds, or U.S. government bonds. There are risks associated with each
asset class.
An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. Although money market funds seek to
preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in
the fund. Redemption is at the current net asset value, which may be more or less than the original
cost. Aggressive growth funds are most suitable for investors willing to accept price per share
volatility since many companies that demonstrate high growth potential can also be high risk.
Income from tax-free mutual funds may be subject to local, state and/or the alternative minimum
tax.
Because each mutual fund owns different types of investments, performance will be affected by a
variety of factors. The value of your investment in a mutual fund will vary from day to day as the
14
values of the underlying investments in a fund vary. Such variations generally reflect changes in
interest rates, market conditions and other company and economic news. These risks may become
magnified depending on how much a fund invests or uses certain strategies. A fund’s principal
market segment(s), such as large-cap, mid-cap or small-cap stocks, or growth or value stocks may
underperform other market segments or the equity markets as a whole.
You can find additional information regarding these risks in the fund’s prospectus.
International Investing
The risks of investing in foreign securities include loss of value as a result of political or economic
instability; nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation; changes in foreign exchange rates
and foreign exchange restrictions; settlement delays; and limited government regulation (including
less stringent reporting, accounting, and disclosure standards than are required of U.S. companies).
These risks may be greater with investments in emerging markets. Certain investments utilized by
Guilbault Capital may also contain international securities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
A portion of your assets may be invested in cash or cash equivalents to achieve your investment
objective, provide ongoing distributions, and/or take a defensive position. Cash holdings may result
in a loss of market exposure.
Alternative Investments
Alternative investments are illiquid investments and do not trade on a national securities exchange.
Alternative investments typically include investments in direct participation program securities
(partnerships, limited liability companies, business development companies or real estate investment
trusts), commodity pools, private equity, private debt, or hedge funds. Alternative investments are
subject to various risks, such as illiquidity and property devaluation based on adverse economic
and/or real estate market conditions.
Alternative investments are not suitable for all investors. Investors considering an investment
strategy utilizing alternative investments should understand that alternative investments are
generally considered speculative in nature and may involve a high degree of risk, particularly if
concentrating investments in one or few alternative investments. These risks are potentially greater
and substantially different than those associated with traditional equity or fixed income investments.
Additional information regarding these risks can be found in the product’s prospectus or offering
documents.
Options
Certain types of option trading may be permitted in your account in order to generate income or
hedge a security held in the account. There are additional risks with using options. An option holder
15
runs the risk of losing the entire amount paid for the option in a relatively short period of time. The
risks of covered call writing include the potential for the market to rise sharply, which may cause the
security to be called away and no longer be held in the account. The risk of buying long puts is
limited to the loss of the premium paid for the purchase of the put if the option is not exercised or
otherwise sold. The writer of a put option bears a risk of loss if the value of the underlying interest
declines below the exercise price, and such loss could be substantial if the decline is significant. The
obligation of a writer of a put that is not cash-secured to meet margin requirements creates
additional risks. Combination transactions, such as option spreads, are more complex than buying
or writing a single option and carry additional risks.
You can find additional information regarding the risks associated with options trading on the
Options Industry Council website, www.optionseducation.org.
Investment Strategies Risks
Third-Party Asset Managers
Guilbault Capital may recommend or utilize third-party asset managers to manage all or a portion of
certain clients' assets. Some of these arrangements may be inherited from transition of wealth
management advice from another adviser to Guilbault Capital. The success of a third-party
manager’s strategies heavily relies on the manager’s abilities. Billing and valuation methods among
third-party managers vary. Managers that utilize concentrated, non-diversified or sector strategies
investing more of their assets in a few holdings involve additional risks, including share price
fluctuations, because of the increased concentration of investments. The lack of industry
diversification may subject investors to increased industry-specific risks. Third-party managers may
also employ frequent trading strategies, which can result in increased brokerage and other
transaction costs, which may lower an investment’s overall performance and consequently a client’s
overall return. Clients with assets managed by a third-party manager should thoroughly review the
manager’s Form ADV Brochure or other disclosure document for more information on the
manager’s risks.
Security Recommendations in Opposing Directions
Guilbault Capital advises with regard to customized portfolios to meet individual client needs in
accordance with the client’s IPS. Customization of client portfolios can lead to Guilbault Capital
recommending that certain clients buy a security and other clients sell the same security, which can
result in material differences in account performance between clients.
Operational Risks
Business Continuity
Guilbault Capital's operations could be disrupted by catastrophic events, such as fires, natural
disasters, terrorist attacks, wars or similar emergencies resulting in property damage, network
16
disruptions or prolonged power outages. Despite having contingency plans and conducting regular
tests, it's impossible to prepare for every potential event. These risks could significantly impact
Guilbault Capital and its operations.
Pandemic Outbreak
Epidemics or pandemics can introduce market and business uncertainties, including market
volatility, business closures, supply chain disruptions, travel restrictions and widespread medical
absences. Guilbault Capital has policies and procedures to manage these situations; however, the
unpredictable nature of large outbreaks means not all eventualities can be anticipated or addressed.
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of having a robust Business Continuity Plan,
which allows Guilbault Capital personnel to work remotely or on a hybrid office-remote basis.
Future incidents might impact operations differently, including those of Guilbault Capital, third-
party asset managers recommended or utilized by Guilbault Capital, product sponsors and key
service providers.
Economic and Political Conditions
Economic changes, such as fluctuations in interest rates, inflation, currency values, industry
conditions, competition, technological advancements, trade relations, political events and tax laws,
can adversely affect investment performance. Economic, political and financial conditions—
including military conflicts and sanctions—can cause market volatility, illiquidity and other negative
effects. Economic or political instability, diplomatic issues or disasters in regions where client assets
are invested could harm many kinds of investments. The potential for recession and its impact on
different asset classes is uncertain and beyond Guilbault Capital's control, with no guarantees that
Guilbault Capital can predict these developments.
Cybersecurity
Guilbault Capital and its service providers, counterparts and other market participants rely heavily
on information technology and communications systems. These systems face numerous
cybersecurity threats that can negatively impact clients, despite efforts to mitigate these risks through
advanced technologies, processes and practices aimed at protecting system security and the
confidentiality, integrity and availability of our clients’ information. Unauthorized access,
operational disruptions, data theft or inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information could occur,
posing significant risks. A breach or security failure could lead to data or financial loss and system
inaccessibility for clients and regulatory penalties, reputational damage or additional compliance
costs for Guilbault Capital.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
The advancement of technologies in artificial intelligence and machine learning introduces new risks
for Guilbault Capital client accounts and their investments, including data inaccuracies, security
vulnerabilities and increased legal risks related to trademark, licensing and copyright. The rapid
17
development of machine learning technologies means that future risks are unpredictable and could
significantly impact the financial and operational aspects of Guilbault Capital and its clients'
investments.
Custody
Guilbault Capital is obligated to keep client funds and securities over which it has custody with a
qualified custodian. There is a risk of loss if a custodian faces insolvency, fraud or mismanagement.
Cash and securities held in a brokerage account may exceed Securities Investor Protection
Corporation coverage, which generally protects accounts up to $500,000, including up to $250,000
in cash. Clients are at risk if a brokerage firm holding their assets fails to fulfill its obligations or faces
distress, potentially impacting your ability to access assets or utilize services. While non-cash assets
held in custody at a bank are typically outside a failed bank’s estate, client accounts could still be
impacted by delays in accessing funds, settling trades or delivering securities due to a bank's failure.
Diversifying custodial relationships may mitigate such risks.
Counterparties
Guilbault Capital’s clients may face credit and liquidity risks from their dealings with various
counterparties. Should a counterparty fail due to financial distress, recovering assets or funds under
contractual agreements may be delayed or limited. The absence of independent evaluations of
counterparties' financial health and a regulated market can increase potential losses, especially under
adverse market conditions.
Key Persons
Guilbault Capital’s investment success heavily relies on the experience of its principals. Losing one
or more key individuals could adversely impact investment performance due to diminished strategy
development, opportunity sourcing, relationship leveraging and investment expertise.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
As a registered investment adviser, Guilbault Capital is required to disclose all material facts
regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of our firm or
the integrity of our management. Guilbault Capital has no disciplinary information to report.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Guilbault Capital has no other financial industry activities or affiliations.
18
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation in Client Transactions and Personal
Trading
Our Code of Ethics
Guilbault Capital is committed to providing investment advice with the utmost professionalism and
integrity. Our firm strives to identify, manage and/or mitigate conflicts of interest and has adopted
policies, procedures, and oversight mechanisms to address conflicts of interest. We have adopted a
Code of Ethics that emphasizes our fiduciary obligation to put client interests first and is designed to
ensure personal securities transactions, activities, and interests of employees will not interfere with
the responsibilities to make decisions in the best interest of clients. All supervised persons of our firm
must acknowledge and comply with our Code of Ethics. We will provide a copy of our Code of
Ethics to any client or prospective client upon request.
Participation in Client Transactions
Guilbault Capital does not effect principal or agency cross securities transactions for client accounts.
Guilbault Capital also does not cross trades between client accounts. Principal transactions are
generally defined as transactions where an adviser, acting as principal for its own account or the
account of an affiliated broker-dealer, buys from or sells a security to an advisory client. An agency
cross transaction is defined as a transaction where a person acts as an investment adviser in relation
to a transaction in which the investment adviser, or any person controlled by or under common
control with the investment adviser, acts as broker for both the advisory client and for another
person on the other side of the transaction. Agency cross transactions may arise where an adviser is
dually registered as a broker-dealer or has an affiliated broker-dealer.
Employee Personal Trading
Supervised persons of Guilbault Capital may purchase or sell the same security that we recommend
for investment in client accounts. This creates a conflict of interest as there is a possibility that
supervised persons of our firm might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by the
supervised person. Our Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions,
activities, and interests of our supervised persons will not interfere with making decisions in the best
interest of our clients while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts.
Under our Code of Ethics, certain classes of securities have been designated as exempt transactions,
based upon a determination that these would not materially interfere with the best interests of
Guilbault Capital’s clients. Our Code of Ethics also places restrictions on our supervised persons’
personal trading activities. These restrictions include, but are not limited to, a prohibition on trading
based on material, non-public information, and pre-clearance requirements for certain types of
transactions. Employee trading is monitored to prevent conflicts of interest between Guilbault
Capital and our clients.
Accounts of our supervised persons may be traded with client accounts on an aggregated basis. In
such circumstances, supervised persons’ and clients’ accounts will share commission costs equally
19
and receive securities at a total average price. Guilbault Capital will retain records of the trade order
specifying each participating account and its allocation, which will be completed prior to the entry of
the aggregated order. Completed orders will be allocated as specified in the initial trade order.
Partially filled orders will be allocated on a pro rata basis. Any exceptions will be explained on the
order.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
Selection and Recommendation of Broker-Dealers
Though Guilbault Capital recommends brokers with which we have negotiated pricing on behalf of
our clients, we do not have discretionary authority to select broker-dealers. We endeavor to
recommend broker-dealers that will provide the best services at the lowest commission rates
possible. The reasonableness of commissions is based on the broker's ability to provide professional
services, competitive commission rates, research and other services that will help our firm provide
investment and wealth management services to clients. Guilbault Capital may recommend brokers
who provide useful research and securities transaction services even though a lower commission
may be charged by a broker who offers no research services and minimal securities transaction
assistance.
We have negotiated competitive pricing and services with TradePMR, Inc. (“TradePMR) for
brokerage back-office and trade execution services and generally recommend they be used as the
broker-dealer for client accounts. TradePMR clears trades and custodies assets at First Clearing
Corp. (“FCC”). First Clearing Corp. is a trade name used by Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC., a
non-bank affiliate of Wells Fargo & Company. Trade-PMR and FCC are members of SIPC and are
unaffiliated registered broker-dealers and FINRA members.
The brokerage commissions and/or transaction fees charged by the broker-dealer are included in
Guilbault Capital’s advisory fee. Guilbault Capital regularly reviews the reasonableness of the
compensation received by the broker-dealers used for executing client transactions to help ensure
that our clients receive favorable execution consistent with our fiduciary duty. Factors which
Guilbault Capital considers in recommending broker-dealers to clients include, but are not limited
to, their respective financial strength, reputation, execution, pricing, research, and service. The
commissions and/or transaction fees charged by these brokers may be higher or lower than those
charged by other broker-dealers.
The commissions paid by Guilbault Capital’s clients, which are included in the wrap program fee,
are intended to be consistent with our duty to obtain “best execution.” However, a client may pay a
commission that is higher than what another broker-dealer might charge to effect the same
transaction when Guilbault Capital determines, in good faith, that the commission is reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage and research services received. In seeking best execution, the
determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best
qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a broker-dealer’s services, including
among others, execution capability, commission rates, and responsiveness.
20
There may be times when another broker-dealer is used to execute fixed-income trades (commonly
referred to as “trading away” or “step out trades”). In instances where Guilbault Capital has
determined it is in the client’s best interest to utilize another broker-dealer to execute a transaction,
the cost of the transaction will be included in the wrap program fee. Consistent with the foregoing,
while Guilbault Capital will seek competitive rates, it may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible
commission rates for client transactions.
TradePMR Asset Match Program
Effective October 1, 2025, through March 31, 2026 (or beyond if the program is extended),
TradePMR is offering an asset match program to clients of Guilbault Capital on new funds and
investments transferred into an advisory account managed by Guilbault Capital on the TradePMR
brokerage platform. All securities and options available to trade on the TradePMR brokerage
platform are eligible for the asset match. Non-eligible securities and products include private
placements, mutual funds held directly with the fund company and are not listed on an exchange,
unlisted interval and closed end funds, restricted securities not available for public trading, swaps
and other over-the-counter derivatives, control shares, annuities, and any securities not held in an
account on the TradePMR brokerage platform. The asset match offer does not apply to qualified
plans and 529 accounts or transfers from other accounts held at Wells Fargo Clearing Services,
Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network or Wells Fargo Securities.
The asset match offer is 0.5% of the value of deposits into an advisory account managed by
Guilbault Capital on the TradePMR brokerage platform and is subject to a five-year earn-out period.
The asset match will be earned if, on the 10th day of the calendar month following the month in
which a deposit is made, no portion of the deposit has been withdrawn. If any portion or all of the
deposit is withdrawn prior to the 10th day of the calendar month following the month in which the
deposit was made, the match on that portion withdrawn will not be earned. The asset match may
have tax implications depending on your account type and circumstances.
Certain limitations apply to the asset match program offered by TradePMR, such as an early
removal fee if any assets are transferred out, withdrawn or distributed from an account receiving the
asset match that causes the value of the account to be less than the value of the assets deposited into
the account during a five (5) year period starting on the calendar day the asset match is credited to
the account. It is important for clients of Guilbault Capital to review and understand the limitations
of TradePMR’s asset match program, which can be found on TradePMR’s website at TradePMR's
Asset Match Program Terms and Conditions.
The asset match program is being offered by TradePMR, as the introducing broker-dealer for
Guilbault Capital’s client accounts. In no way is Guilbault Capital involved in the offering of the
asset match program, nor does Guilbault Capital’s recommendation to use TradePMR for brokerage
services constitute an endorsement of or recommendation to participate in the asset match program.
You should be aware that the more assets there are in your account, the more you will pay in fees to
Guilbault Capital, which creates an incentive for Guilbault Capital to recommend or encourage you
to increase the assets in your account. Further, the early removal fee under the asset match program
presents a conflict of interest between Guilbault Capital and our clients. As a fiduciary, Guilbault
Capital is required to act in the best interest of our clients and seek to obtain the best price and
21
execution for clients’ securities transactions. It is Guilbault Capital’s policy to conduct a best
execution review, at least annually, of the broker-dealers we recommend to clients to evaluate the
broker’s brokerage and execution practices. If at any point in the future Guilbault Capital determines
TradePMR no longer provides competitive and quality brokerage services, we may recommend
another broker-dealer to our clients, which could result in a client participating in the asset match
program to pay an early removal fee to TradePMR if assets are transferred out of an advisory
account on the TradePMR brokerage platform. Guilbault Capital will mitigate this conflict of
interest by adhering to our fiduciary duty to seek to achieve best execution for our clients in a
manner that the full range of and quality of a broker’s services to the client is the most favorable
under the circumstances and putting our clients’ best interest first.
For more information on TradePMR’s asset match program, please refer to TradePMR’s website at
TradePMR's Asset Match Program Terms and Conditions.
Products & Services Available to Us from Broker-Dealers
The broker-dealers we recommend to clients provide Guilbault Capital with access to institutional
trading and custody services, which are typically not available to retail investors. These brokerage
and custodial services include the execution of securities transactions, custody, research, and access
to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional
investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. Other benefits we may
receive include receipt of duplicate client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; access to
a trading desk that exclusively services its participants; access to block trading, which provides the
ability to aggregate securities transactions and then allocate the appropriate shares to client accounts;
and access to an electronic communication network for client order entry and account information.
Guilbault Capital also receives other services from broker-dealers (or third-party vendors with which
they do business) to help us manage and further develop our business enterprise. These services
include educational conferences and events; technology, compliance, legal, marketing and business
consulting; publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; and
access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants and insurance providers. Fees for
these services may be waived, discounted or compensated by the broker-dealer. Irrespective of these
direct and indirect benefits to our clients, we strive to enhance our clients’ experience and always put
the needs of our clients first.
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
Guilbault Capital does not participate in soft-dollar relationships.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
When selecting broker-dealers for the execution of client securities transactions, Guilbault Capital
does not consider whether we will receive any client referrals from the broker-dealer or any other
third-party.
22
Directed Brokerage
While Guilbault Capital generally recommends TradePMR be used as the broker-dealer for client
accounts, we will not request the discretionary authority to determine the broker-dealer to be used or
the commission rates to be paid for client accounts. Clients must direct Guilbault Capital as to which
broker-dealer they wish to use to execute transactions for their account. The commissions and
transaction fees charged by these broker-dealers could be higher or lower than those charged by
other custodians and broker-dealers. When directing the use of a particular broker-dealer, Guilbault
Capital will not have authority to negotiate commissions among various broker-dealers or obtain
volume discounts. As such, best execution may not be achieved. Not all investment advisers require
clients to direct the use of specific broker-dealers.
Aggregation of Orders
Guilbault Capital typically effects trades on an aggregated basis whenever possible and
advantageous to clients, such as discretionary accounts aligned with one of the firm’s model
portfolios. Clients with a customized portfolio, non-discretionary account and certain other client
transactions are generally effected independently based on the client’s individual needs and goals.
The blocking of trades entails the trading of aggregate blocks of securities composed of assets from
multiple client accounts where transaction costs are shared equally and on a pro-rated basis between
all accounts included in the block. Block trading allows us to execute equity or fixed income trades
in a timely, equitable manner and to reduce overall commission charges to clients but is not always
feasible. Clients who do not provide Guilbault Capital with discretion will not participate in block
trades, and their trades in similar securities will be placed with brokers after trades for discretionary
accounts. Accounts owned by supervised persons of our firm may participate in block trading with
your accounts; however, these individuals will not be given preferential treatment of any kind.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Accounts at Guilbault Capital are reviewed on a periodic basis. This informal review includes
assessing client goals and objectives, monitoring the account, and addressing the need to rebalance,
as necessary. Individual securities held in client accounts are periodically monitored by the firm.
Accounts are reviewed in the context of each client’s stated investment objectives and guidelines.
More frequent reviews may be triggered by material changes to a client’s individual circumstances,
market conditions, tax law changes or the political or economic environment.
Guilbault Capital may also review tax-planning needs, cash-flow needs, as well as charitable giving,
insurance, and estate planning as part of our ongoing client reviews. Reviews are tailored to the
services we provide to you, as well as your individual needs and goals. We encourage you to discuss
your needs, goals, and objectives with us and keep us informed of any changes. If you engage our
firm for ongoing investment advisory services, we will contact you at least annually to determine
whether there have been any changes to your financial situation or investment objectives and
whether you wish to impose any reasonable restrictions on the management of your account or
23
reasonably modify any existing restrictions. We will advise you of any account changes we feel are
necessary to help you stay on track with meeting your financial goals and consider whether the
current services provided by our firm continue to be suitable for your needs.
As a convenience to our clients, in addition to reporting on clients’ financial assets, at a client’s
request we may prepare a global consolidated report that also includes certain non-financial assets
(e.g., real assets). In such instances, Guilbault Capital relies on the client to provide current and
accurate price or other valuation information for those assets to be included in the client’s
consolidated account report. In no instance are non-financial assets included in any performance
reporting. Guilbault Capital does not independently verify, and expressly disclaims responsibility
for, the accuracy of any non-financial asset values clients provided to us to include in their reporting.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Other Compensation Arrangements
Guilbault Capital receives compensation from the broker-dealer used for your account and your
account custodian in the form of access to electronic systems that assist us in the management of
client accounts, as well as research, software and other technology that provide access to client
account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), pricing information and other
market data, facilitate trade execution (and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client
accounts), and client reporting capabilities. Your account custodian also offers us discounts for
products and services offered by vendors and third-party service providers, such as software and
technology solutions. These economic benefits create a conflict of interest in that it gives our firm an
incentive to recommend one broker-dealer or custodian over another that does not provide similar
electronic systems, support, or services. We address this conflict of interest by disclosing to our
clients the types of compensation that our firm receives so clients can consider this when evaluating
our firm. It is important that you consider the fees, level of service and investment strategies, among
other factors, when selecting an investment adviser.
Client Referrals
Guilbault Capital does not pay any referral fees to other individuals for referring clients to our firm.
Item 15 – Custody
When you establish a relationship with our firm for investment management services, your assets
will be maintained by a bank, broker -dealer, mutual fund transfer agent or other such institution
deemed a ‘qualified custodian’ by the SEC. We rely on the custodian to price and value assets,
execute and clear transactions, maintain custody of assets in your account and perform other
custodial functions. Guilbault Capital does not maintain physical possession of any client account
assets. Clients’ assets must be held by a bank, broker dealer, mutual fund transfer agent or other such
24
institution deemed a qualified custodian. FCC is generally used as the qualified custodian for client
accounts.
Guilbault Capital is deemed to have custody, pursuant to Rule 206(4)-2 of the Investment Advisers
Act of 1940, as amended, due to its authority over certain accounts to distribute assets subject to a
third-party standing letter of authorization. Guilbault Capital relies on the SEC No-Action Letter
issued to the Investment Advisers Association, dated February 21, 2017, which provides an
exemption from the annual surprise custody examination by an independent accountant.
You will receive monthly and/or quarterly account statements directly from the qualified custodian.
Guilbault Capital may also provide you with written quarterly performance reports for your account
upon request. We urge you to carefully review your account statements and compare the account
balances with the balances reflected on any performance report you may receive from our firm for
accuracy. Balances on our reports may vary slightly from custodial statements due to differences in
accounting procedures, reporting dates, valuation methodologies of certain securities or other
operational factors. You should promptly notify us if you do not receive account statements from
your custodian at least quarterly or if you believe the information on your account statements is
inaccurate.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Guilbault Capital typically has investment discretion over clients’ securities accounts. Investment
discretion is the authority to determine the securities or other assets to purchase or sell on behalf of
an account. Investment discretion may also include the authority to select or terminate a third-party
asset manager. This authority is exercised in a manner consistent with your stated investment
objective for your account. You must provide written authorization to our firm before we can
assume discretionary authority over your account. Any investment guidelines or restrictions you
would like to place on your account must be provided to Guilbault Capital in writing.
Clients that wish to maintain discretion over their accounts should understand that Guilbault
Capital cannot effect any account transactions without first obtaining your consent.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
As a general policy, Guilbault Capital will retain proxy voting authority for clients with a
discretionary managed account that has given us the authority to do so. We utilize a third-party
service provider to assist with voting proxies and follow the proxy voting guidelines outlined in our
Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures. You may obtain a copy of our Proxy Voting Policies and
Procedures and/or a record of ballots voted for your holdings upon request.
Clients may also elect to have us participate in class action lawsuits and related settlements on their
behalf. In such cases, we utilize a third-party service provider to assist the firm with the filing
process, who receives 20% of any settlement awarded to the client for their services. The third-party
service provider will not be utilized to assist with Fair Fund recoveries, which must be distributed
25
directly to you. Guilbault Capital will assist you with filing any Fair Fund recoveries, at your
request.
Item 18 – Financial Information
As a registered investment adviser, Guilbault Capital is required to provide you with certain
financial information about our firm.
Prepayment of Fees
We do not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or more
in advance.
Our Financial Condition
We do not have any financial commitment that is reasonably likely to impair our contractual
commitments to our clients, nor has our firm ever been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
26
