Item 2 – Summary of Material Changes
This Firm Brochure is Indivisible Partners, LLC’s (‘Indivisible”) disclosure document prepared
according to regulatory requirements and rules. This section summarizes changes since
Indivisible’s last updating amendment on February 28, 2025:
1.
Increase in Regulatory Assets Under Management (AUM). Indivisible has updated its assets
under management to $421,326,222, reflecting a significant increase from the previously
reported $298,574,478.
2. New Credit Solutions Offered via UPTIQ, Inc. Indivisible now offers access to credit
solutions through a third-party provider, UPTIQ, Inc. We share in the revenue UPTIQ earns
from our clients, which creates a potential conflict of interest. Clients are not obligated to
use UPTIQ’s services and may pursue other financing providers. See Item 4 for more
information.
3. Clarifications to Insurance Services and Compensation through DPL. We clarified our
arrangement with DPL Financial Partners, LLC and its affiliate, Johnstone Brokerage
Services, Inc. While we do not receive commissions for insurance product purchases made
through DPL, we do receive compensation from DPL for providing ongoing advisory
services. This compensation is based on the amount of insurance assets advised on, which
creates a potential conflict of interest. Additional language was added to explain the scope
of DPL’s services and the limitations on product availability. See Item 4 for details.
4. Revised Margin Fee Billing Methodology. Indivisible is now offering the ability for clients to
maintain margin in their advisory accounts. For clients who elect to use margin, The Firm
charges advisory fees based on the gross market value of client accounts, including
securities purchased on margin. See Item 5 for more information.
5. Financial Planning Fee. We updated our financial planning fee range, which now typically
varies from $0 to $15,000, up from a previous maximum of $10,000. We also added new
disclosures regarding the bundling of planning and portfolio management services and
clarified how these fees may be waived or structured at the Financial Advisor’s discretion.
See Item 5 for more information.
6. Franklin Resources, Inc. Services. Franklin Resources, Inc. offers investment advisory
services to investment advisers who meet a minimum asset threshold; however, Franklin
provides us with access to these services at no cost and waives its minimum asset
threshold. Frankling generates revenue when our clients invest in Franklin products or use
their services. See Item 10 for more information.

Item 4 – Advisory Business
Indivisible Partners, LLC (“Indivisible”), was formed on July 2, 2024, and is based in Clearwater,
Florida. Indivisible is a wholly owned subsidiary of Forabya, LLC, which is privately owned.
Indivisible is registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”). Our principal business is providing a full line of investment advisory services. We do not
offer or sell proprietary products.
As of April 30, 2025, Indivisible had regulatory assets under management of $421,326,222. Of that
amount, $415,006,329 was managed on a non-discretionary basis and $6,319,893 was managed
on a discretionary basis.
Our investment advisory services (“Advisory Services”) are made available to clients through
investment advisory representatives (“Financial
individuals associated with Indivisible as
Advisors”). Financial Advisors are independent contractors and organize their own business entities
(“Financial Advisor Business Entities”) to provide certain support services to the Financial Advisor
and their associated Financial Advisor Team (“Teams”) as they provide services for clients,
including services other than Advisory Services. All Advisory Services are provided through
Indivisible.
Individual Financial Advisors and their Teams are affiliated with other entities (“DBA”). The name
and logo of the Financial Advisor Business Entities and/or DBAs may appear on marketing
materials, as approved through Indivisible. You work with your designated Financial Advisor to
determine what advisory program is appropriate for your given financial goals and circumstances.
Indivisible renders discretionary and non-discretionary Advisory Services.
Advisory Services consist of programs Indivisible sponsors, as well as advisory programs available
through unaffiliated third-party investment managers (“TPIM”). Our Advisory Services are designed
to accommodate a wide range of investment philosophies and objectives. This allows Financial
Advisors to recommend investments they believe are best suited to meet your individual needs and
circumstances. We do not hold ourselves out as specializing in a particular type of investment
offering. However, some Financial Advisors may focus on certain types of investments or
investment programs over others.
You have access to a wide range of securities products, including common and preferred stocks;
municipal, corporate, and government fixed income securities; limited partnerships; mutual funds;
exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”); options; unit investment trusts (“UITs”); direct investment
programs; and variable annuity products, as well as a wide range of other products and services
including asset allocation services. Financial Advisors offer advice on these and other types of
investments based on your individual circumstances.
4
Investment Restrictions
You may, with written notice, request reasonable restrictions on the management of your accounts,
such as prohibiting investing in certain securities or types of securities. You must promptly notify
Indivisible, in writing, of any changes in such restrictions. In addition, a review of your restrictions
should be conducted with your Financial Advisor. You should note, however, that restrictions, if
accepted by Indivisible, may adversely affect the composition and performance of your investment
portfolio.
Unless you instruct otherwise, interest, dividends and other distributions will be reinvested in your
account.
Discretionary Advice v. Non-Discretionary Advice
Depending on the selected service, Indivisible provides its services and advice on either a
discretionary or non-discretionary basis. When a discretionary service is selected, it allows
Indivisible to buy and sell investments in your advisory account without contacting you in advance.
All services that use a TPIM are discretionary.
When Indivisible provides non-discretionary advice or services, you decide whether to implement
the recommendations and, if approved by you, Indivisible implements the recommendation. This
may result in a delay in executing recommended trades, which could adversely affect the
performance of your account. This delay also normally means the affected account(s) will not be
able to participate in block trades, a practice designed to enhance the execution quality, timing
and/or cost for all accounts included in the block. In a non-discretionary arrangement, the client
retains the responsibility for the final decision on all actions taken with respect to the client’s
account.
In limited cases, you may enter into a non-discretionary investment management agreement with
your Financial Advisor. Your Financial Advisor’s compensation for non-discretionary investment
management services is an asset-based fee. Non-discretionary fees are negotiable.
Retirement Account Rollover Considerations
Your portfolio may include retirement account(s). When we provide investment advice to you
regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries within
the meaning of Title 1 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), as applicable, which are laws governing
retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we
operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest
ahead of yours.
Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
prudent advice);
5
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflict of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
When providing recommendations to retirement plan accounts involving rollover considerations,
there are generally four options regarding an existing retirement plan account. An employee may
use a combination of those options, such as; (i) leave the funds in the former employer’s plan, if
permitted, (ii) roll over the funds to a new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are
permitted, (iii) roll over to an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”), or (iv) cash out the account
value (which could, depending upon the individual’s age, result in adverse tax consequences). If
your Financial Advisor recommends that you rollover your retirement plan assets into an account
to be managed by Indivisible, such recommendation creates a conflict of interest insofar as we will
earn an advisory fee on the rolled over assets. You are under no obligation to roll over retirement
plan assets to an account managed by us.
Description of Advisory Services Offered
We offer the following advisory programs and services:
• Portfolio Management for Individuals and Businesses
• Selection of Other Advisors
• Financial Planning Services
• Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans (“ERISA Plan Services”)
This disclosure brochure (“Brochure”) describes the Advisory Services offered by Indivisible. The
details of your specific Advisory Services will be disclosed by your Financial Advisor in your
Advisory Agreement.
Portfolio Management for Individuals and Businesses
For the portfolio management services, Indivisible’s Financial Advisors provide continuous and
regular supervisory or management services based on your individual goals, objectives, and
circumstances utilizing a strategy recommended to you. Financial Advisors obtain a financial
profile from you to aid in the construction of your portfolio that matches your specific situation and
needs. Your Financial Advisor is available to you on an ongoing basis to discuss your financial
circumstances, your recommended portfolio and securities, or your processing instructions
concerning your advisory assets. While your Financial Advisor will consider your income and tax
situation in making recommendations, neither Indivisible nor your Financial Advisor provides tax
advice to you. You should refer to your other professionals for legal or tax advice. You are advised
to notify Indivisible or your Financial Advisor if there are changes in your financial situation,
investment objectives, or if you wish to impose any reasonable restrictions on our Advisory
6
Services. You can engage Indivisible to manage all or a portion of your assets. As applicable, you
are required to enter additional written agreements with your account Custodian, third-party
investment managers, platform managers, or other parties that are not affiliated with Invisible in
the servicing of your assets.
Selection of Other Advisors
Indivisible may recommend that you use the services of a third-party manager or strategist (a
“TPIM”) to manage a portion, or all of your portfolio. All TPIMs used by Indivisible are unaffiliated
SEC-registered investment advisers. All duties of the TPIM will be outlined in the agreement
between the you and the TPIM.
Model Portfolios
Indivisible participates in the model marketplace provided by Advyzon Investment Management
LLC (“AIM”), an unaffiliated SEC-registered investment adviser. Through AIM, Indivisible has access
to model portfolios that are generated by AIM or by third-party strategists to assist your Financial
Advisor in managing or advising your Accounts in this service offering. Your Financial Advisor is
responsible for determining the suitability of all AIM model portfolios assigned to your Accounts.
Once your Financial Advisor selects the strategist and model portfolio for your account, AIM will
provide ongoing supervision of your account and will have discretion to make transactions, within
the parameters your Financial Advisor establishes for your account, including the frequency of
rebalancing and allowable drift from model portfolio targets.
Please note that by providing ongoing supervision of your account, AIM will obtain access to your
confidential information from us and/or from the custodian of your brokerage account. As stated
in Indivisible’s Privacy Policy, we are authorized to share your personal information with third
parties as necessary to service your account. Our agreement with AIM includes provisions requiring
AIM to hold your information in strict confidence, and to maintain reasonable technological
protections, precautions, and safeguards for your information.
Outsourced Trading Services
In providing our discretionary management services, we engage the services of AIM as an
outsourced agent to provide certain operational, administrative, and trading functions. We provide
AIM with asset allocation model portfolios and designate the appropriate model portfolio for each
client account. We will also define the parameters for the supervision of your account, such as the
frequency of rebalancing and allowable drift from asset allocation targets. Once we choose the
model portfolio for your account and define parameters, AIM will provide ongoing supervision of
your account according to the model portfolio and our defined parameters.
Please note that if we engage AIM to provide certain trading functions, AIM will obtain access to
your confidential information from us and/or from the custodian of your brokerage account. As
stated in our Privacy Policy, we are authorized to share your personal information with third parties
as necessary to service your account. Our agreement with AIM includes provisions requiring AIM
7
to hold your information in strict confidence, and to maintain reasonable technological protections,
precautions, and safeguards for your information.
Outsourced Billing Services
In providing our discretionary management services, we may engage the services of AIM as an
outsourced agent to provide certain operational, administrative, and trading functions. We provide
AIM with information regarding our fee schedules and billing arrangements. AIM will calculate your
fees based on the parameters we provide, collect the fees, and disburse them to us. Your fees will
be reflected on your custodial account statement. If you have any questions or concerns about
your advisory fees, please contact us.
Please note that when we engage AIM to provide billing services, AIM will obtain access to your
confidential information from us and/or from the custodian of your brokerage account. As stated
in our Privacy Policy, we are authorized to share your personal information with third parties as
necessary to service your account. Our agreement with AIM includes provisions requiring AIM to
hold your information in strict confidence, and to maintain reasonable technological protections,
precautions, and safeguards for your information.
Insurance
Indivisible maintains a relationship with DPL Financial Partners, LLC and its affiliate, Johnstone
Brokerage Services, Inc. (collectively “DPL”). DPL is a third-party provider of insurance services that
is not affiliated with Indivisible. DPL offers a membership-based platform for investment advisers
to access insurance reviews, education, and insurance solutions. We pay a fixed annual
membership fee to DPL for access to its platform and resources. DPL’s representatives serve as
insurance agents for the products they make available to you, while we retain discretionary
management authority over investments in those insurance products. DPL also provides agent-of-
record services for commission-based annuities owned by clients. In addition to the membership
fee charged to the Adviser, DPL also receives service fees from insurance carriers based on client
premiums. Additionally, DPL provides services such as evaluating your insurance needs, facilitating
access to insurance products, and offering marketing support to us. DPL receives compensation
from insurance carriers based on premiums paid by clients who purchase insurance products
through its platform. These service fees limit the selection of annuity and insurance carriers
available to clients. We do not receive commissions for insurance product purchases made
through DPL; however, we do receive compensation from DPL for providing advisory services to
clients regarding these products, which is determined based on the amount of assets for which we
provide advisory services.
The Adviser’s receipt of compensation from DPL creates a conflict of interest, as the Adviser has
an incentive to recommend investing in annuities offered through or serviced by DPL rather than
through independent insurance agents, in that it receives compensation from DPL for providing
services in addition to the advisory fee we receive from the client. Furthermore, this arrangement
can limit the number of insurance carriers available to RIA clients through DPL’s platform. Fee
8
structures can differ from those of other third-party insurance agents. Clients are encouraged to
review products and fees before making investment decisions. Clients are not required to use DPL’s
services and may consult any licensed insurance agent.
Credit Solutions
Indivisible offers you the option to obtain credit solutions from UPTIQ, Inc., which is not unaffiliated
with Indivisible. Indivisible shares in the total revenue UPTIQ generates from our clients using its
services. Indivisible has a conflict of interest when recommending UPTIQ’s services due to the
compensation we receive. We also have an incentive to recommend UPTIQ’s credit solutions
instead of liquidating some or all of the assets we manage so as to continue to earn investment
advisory fees. Clients are under no obligation to use UPTIQ’s services and may obtain credit
products from any provider of such services of their choice.
Financial Planning
Indivisible offers financial planning services. Financial planning includes a mutually defined review,
analysis, and evaluation of your personal financial needs and goals. In general, our financial
planning may encompass one or more of the following areas:
Investment Planning
Real Estate Planning
Insurance Planning
Taxes and Cash Flow Planning
Survivor and Beneficiary Planning
Estate Planning
Retirement Planning
Your Financial Advisor will gather information through in-depth discussions and related meetings.
The information gathered includes your current financial situation, planning activities, future goals,
and objectives. Information received from you or from other professionals is assumed by your
Financial Advisor as complete and accurate.
You may desire to retain Indivisible or your Financial Advisor for financial or asset management
consulting not associated with your managed investment accounts or financial plan, such service
as defined between you and your Financial Advisor will be subject to a separate hourly fee. See
Item 5 below.
A conflict of interest exists if the advice provided includes recommendations that you engage
Indivisible or its Financial Advisors to provide other services. Financial planning and consulting
recommendations are implemented at your discretion. You are under no obligation to implement
recommendations. We encourage you to work closely with your attorney, accountant, private
banker, insurance agent, and other professionals to assist you. Indivisible will not have portfolio
management obligation unless you enter into a separate portfolio management agreement.
All investments have risk and there is no guarantee that utilizing the asset management or financial
planning services of Indivisible, or your Financial Advisor will produce favorable results.
9
ERISA Plan Services
Indivisible offers advisory services to qualified and non-qualified retirement plans including 401(k)
plans, 403(b) plans, pension and profit-sharing plans, cash balance plans, and deferred
compensation plans. Indivisible may act as a 3(21) or 3(38) advisor. When we provide investment
advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are
fiduciaries within the meaning of Title 1 of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act
(“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which ae laws governing retirement
accounts.
Wrap Fee Programs
Indivisible does not currently manage or participate in any wrap fee programs.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Portfolio Management Fees
Fees for advisory services are generally calculated as a percentage of the total market value of your
managed assets. The total fee is comprised of two components: (a) the Advisory Fee, and (b) any
fees associated with the use of a TPIM.
Fees are billed monthly in arrears. The total fee is calculated at the beginning of each month based
on the market value of your managed assets, including money market funds, interest, and
reinvested dividends in the account on the last business day of the prior month. The custodian
determines fair market value for fee calculation purposes. For direct investments, we use the most
recent valuation the investment manager provides, which may not represent the liquidation value
of the investment. Assets in your account(s) are included in the fee assessment unless specifically
identified in writing for exclusion.
You authorize fees to be deducted from your account, or from any other account in the custodian’s
custody as directed by you. The first payment is prorated based on the number of calendar days in
the partial month and based on the average daily balance of your account. The fees deducted,
including the dates and amounts, are reflected in the monthly statements sent by the custodian.
You should review those statements, and the fees deducted. Any questions on the fees deducted
from your account should be directed to your Financial Advisor, or you may contact us at the
number on the cover page of this Brochure.
Fees are negotiated on an individual basis at the time of engagement for such services. Factors
considered in determining the fees charged generally include, without limitation, the complexity of
the portfolio, amount of assets to be placed under management, related accounts, or other special
requirements. This practice creates a conflict of interest because some clients will pay more than
other clients for Advisory Services.
Since Indivisible started providing Advisory Services, other Financial Advisors and Teams have
joined the firm who may have clients under legacy advisory fee schedules in effect at the time of
the client’s engagement. As new advisory fee schedules are implemented, they are made applicable
10
to only new clients and fees for existing clients are not affected. Therefore, some existing clients
pay different advisory fees than may be shown below and not all clients will have the same or
similar fee structures (e.g., flat percentage rate or tiered) and can be subject to a minimum advisory
fee. Your specific fee schedule will be identified in your Advisory Agreement with Indivisible. Your
advisory fee will not exceed the maximum advisory fee.
The maximum Advisory Fee for Indivisible is 1.50%
Assets in each of your account(s) are included in the fee assessment unless specifically identified
in writing for exclusion. The advisory fee also includes certain administrative fees and transaction
fees. It does not include TPIM fees or costs associated with utilizing TPIM.
We do receive advisory fees from DPL for providing ongoing advisory services related to insurance
products our clients invest in through DPL. Thes advisory fees are based on the amount of
insurance products our clients invest in with DPL. The receipt of advisory fees creates a conflict of
interest in that Indivisible has an incentive to recommend insurance products available through
DPL’s platform because we are compensated based on the amount of insurance products we
advise on through DPL’s platform. You should be aware that insurance products may be available
from other sources with different features and pricing structures. We encourage you to evaluate all
available options before deciding to purchase an insurance product through DPL. You are under no
obligation to use DPL’s services and may obtain insurance products from any licensed provider of
their choosing.
Financial Planning Fees
Fees are negotiable and vary by client depending on the scope of the engagement, complexity of
services requested, the nature of your personal and financial situation, and any other factors that
may affect the performance or delivery of the desired service. There is no minimum fee. Your fee
is stated in the Financial Planning Agreement. Our financial planning service fee typically ranges
from $0 to $15,000. We will invoice you for services and your payments will be made to Indivisible
Partners, LLC. Refunds for this service are not provided. You have a five-day right of recission
including a full refund when entering into a financial planning relationship.
Financial Planning Service fees are typically not offset against any investment management fee
payable to Indivisible unless otherwise set forth in the Financial Planning Agreement. Financial
Advisors can choose to combine Financial Planning and Portfolio Management Services for which
they charge a bundled rate combining financial planning fees and the investment management fee
payable to Indivisible. Alternatively, Financial Advisors can waive Financial Planning advisory fees.
Your specific fee will be identified in your Financial Planning Agreement with Indivisible. You are
under no obligation to use Indivisible or your Financial Advisor for implementation of financial
planning recommendations.
General Information Concerning Fees
Fees vary between Financial Advisors and Advisory Services.
11
Indivisible may but is not obligated to group certain related client accounts, often known as
“householding,” for the purposes of achieving efficiencies in reporting and monitoring overall
investment objectives. Householding of accounts, which combine the assets of related accounts,
may also be a factor your Financial Advisor considers in negotiating fees. A “household” is generally
defined as a group of accounts having the same address of record or same Social Security number.
If you have more than one advisory account at Indivisible, your accounts may be aggregated to a
household for purposes of helping your Financial Advisor monitor your overall portfolio objectives.
This practice creates a conflict of interest because some clients will pay more than other clients
for Advisory Services.
Clients can choose to use margin in their account(s), whether to withdraw funds from the account,
or to purchase additional securities. Each client must sign a separate margin agreement before
margin is extended to that client account. In circumstances where margin is used as a tool within
the client’s portfolio, Indivisible will consider the gross value of the client’s account for billing
purposes. This means that the total advisory fee payable by the Client will be calculated based on
the full market value of securities in the account, without any reduction for margin balances. Clients
should be aware that billing on gross account value may result in higher advisory fees compared
to billing on net account value (which subtracts the margin balance). The use of margin will result
in interest charges in addition to the other fees and expenses associated with the security involved.
Indivisible does not recommend or require the use of margin and encourages clients to carefully
consider the additional risks and costs associated with margin borrowing. Clients should review
the terms of their margin agreement and consult with their advisor regarding how margin may
impact their account and associated fees. Indivisible conducts periodic reviews to ensure that the
use of margin aligns with clients’ stated investment objectives and risk tolerance.
For all services, you may terminate your engagement with Indivisible within five (5) business days
of signing an Agreement with no obligation and without penalty. After the initial (5) business days,
the Agreement may be terminated by Indivisible with thirty (30) days written notice to you and by
you at any time with written notice to Indivisible. For accounts opened or closed mid-billing period,
fees will be prorated based on the number of days services are provided during the given period.
You will be provided with notice, in writing, of any changes in fees in accordance with the terms set
forth in the Agreement.
Other Fees and Expenses
You can elect to receive communications and documents from the custodian including
confirmations and statements electronically by authorizing electronic delivery where indicated in
your Account Agreement or by completing an Electronic Communications Consent Form. Unless
you authorize electronic delivery, The custodian will deliver communications and documents to you
via U.S. mail and the custodian may assess a paper surcharge for such paper delivery.
There are other fees and charges that are imposed by parties other than Indivisible (third parties)
that apply to your investments. If your assets are invested in mutual funds or other pooled
investment products or private investments, you should be aware that there will be two layers of
12
advisory fees and expenses for those assets. You will pay a management fee to the manager and
other expenses as an investor or shareholder of a fund. In the case of mutual funds that are fund
of funds, there could be an additional layer of fees, including performance fees that may vary
depending on the performance of the fund. Most of the mutual funds available to you may be
purchased directly. Therefore, you could generally avoid the second layer of fees by not using the
services of your custodian broker-dealer and Indivisible’s Advisory Services and by making your
own decisions regarding the investment.
You will also incur charges imposed by your custodian for securities brokerage commissions,
transaction fees, custodial fees, margin costs, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer
taxes, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
This item is not applicable. Indivisible does not charge fees based on a share of capital gains or the
capital appreciation of the assets held in your accounts.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Indivisible and our Financial Advisors provide advisory services to the following types of clients.
Individuals and Personal Trusts
Charitable Organizations
High Net Worth Individuals
Corporations and Other Businesses
Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans
In general, Indivisible does not require a minimum account size; however, some Financial Advisors,
TPIMs, or programs may impose a minimum account size. Exceptions to minimum account size
requirements may be negotiated.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of
Loss
Methods of Analysis
Your Financial Advisor uses a wide variety of analysis methods, which can include charting,
fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and cyclical analysis to determine investment strategies
for you. The primary source of information used to conduct these types of analysis are financial
publications, research prepared by others, ratings services, press releases, annual reports,
prospectuses, and other filings with the SEC.
Fundamental analysis concentrates on factors that determine a company’s value and expected
future earnings. This strategy would normally encourage equity purchases in stocks that are
13
undervalued or priced below their perceived value. The risk assumed is that the market will fail to
reach expectations of perceived value.
Technical analysis attempts to predict a future stock price or direction based on market trends.
The assumption is that the market follows discernible patterns and if these patterns can be
identified then a prediction can be made. The risk is that markets do not always follow patterns and
relying solely on this method may not consider new patterns that emerge over time.
Charting analysis strategy involves using and comparing various charts to predict long and short-
term performance or market trends. The risk involved in using this method is that only past
performance data is considered without using other methods to crosscheck data. Using charting
analysis without other methods of analysis would assume that past performance will be indicative
of future performance. This may not be the case.
Cyclical analysis assumes that the markets react in cyclical patterns which, once identified, can be
leveraged to provide performance. The risks with this strategy are twofold: 1) the markets do not
always repeat cyclical patterns; and 2) if too many investors begin to implement this strategy, then
it changes the very cycles these investors are trying to exploit.
Quantitative analysis deals with measurable factors as distinguished from qualitative
considerations such as the character of management or the state of employee morale, such as the
value of assets, the cost of capital, and historical projections of sales.
Modern portfolio theory is an investment theory that attempts to maximize the expected portfolio
return for a given amount of portfolio risk or equivalently minimize risk for a given level of expected
return, each by choosing the proportions of various assets.
Investment Strategies
Your Financial Advisor will incorporate your needs and investment objectives as well as time
horizon and risk tolerance when developing and selecting investment strategies. Your Financial
Advisor is not bound by any specific method of analysis or investment strategies for the
management of your portfolio, but rather, your Financial Advisor will consider your unique situation,
and all information gathered at the account inception, as well as changes to your financial situation
over time. In other words, the implementation of your Financial Advisor’s strategy is based upon
you not other clients. Prior to investing, you should ensure that you understand and agree with the
investment strategy used by the Financial Advisor.
Tax consequences are a critical component of any investment strategy. Therefore, depending on
the strategy you choose to implement, it is possible that trading activity could result in taxable
events and lower investment returns. Since investments have tax or legal consequences, you
should consult with your tax professional and attorney to help answer questions about specific
situations or needs.
14
Risk of Loss
Investing in any type of security involves risk of loss that you should be prepared to bear. Indivisible
does not guarantee the performance of an account or any specific level of performance. Market
values of the securities in the account will fluctuate with market conditions. When an account is
liquidated, it could be worth more or less than the amount invested.
There is no guarantee that your investment goals or objectives will be achieved. All securities are
subject to some level of risk which could cause the value of your securities to decrease in value,
and in some cases, could result in a loss of your entire investment. The following are some types
of risk that could affect the value of your portfolio:
General Investment and Trading Risks. You may invest in securities and other financial instruments
using strategies and investment techniques with significant risk characteristics. The investment
program uses such investment techniques as option transactions, margin transactions, short
sales, leverage, and derivatives trading, the use of which can, in certain circumstances, maximize
the adverse impact to which you may be subject.
Market Risks. Turbulence in the financial markets and reduced liquidity may negatively affect
investing, which could have an adverse effect on a security. If a security experiences poor liquidity,
investors may be unable to transact at advantageous times or prices, which may decrease the
security’s returns. In addition, there is a risk that policy changes by central governments and
governmental agencies, including the Federal Reserve or the European Central Bank, which could
include increasing interest rates, could cause increased volatility in financial markets, which could
have a negative impact on businesses and stock share prices. Furthermore, local, regional, or global
events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues,
recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on businesses and stock prices. For
example, the rapid and global spread of COVID-19, resulted in extreme volatility in the financial
markets and severe losses; reduced liquidity of many securities; restrictions on international and,
in some cases, local travel; significant disruptions to business operations (including business
closures); strained healthcare systems; disruptions to supply chains, consumer demand and
employee availability; and widespread uncertainty regarding the duration and long-term effects of
this pandemic. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers experienced particularly large
losses. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in increased volatility and/or decreased
liquidity in the securities markets. Business value and in turn their stock prices could decline over
short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during market
downturns.
Business Risk: Whether because of management or unfortunate circumstances, some businesses
will inevitably fail. This is especially true during economic recessions. For example, a company’s
stock can become worthless in the event of bankruptcy, which would result in a loss of capital to
the shareholders.
15
Interest-rate Risk. Fluctuations in interest rates cause investment prices to fluctuate. For example,
when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less attractive, causing their market
values to decline.
Inflation Risk: Inflation reduces the buying power of a dollar, and could cause uncertainty among
individual investors, possibly resulting in corporations backing away from projects which could
further reduce the value of corporate equities.
Currency or Exchange Rate Risk: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of
the dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also referred to as
exchange rate risk.
Reinvestment Risk. This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have to be
reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e., interest rate). This primarily relates to fixed
income securities.
Regulatory Risk: Legislative, regulatory, and/or judicial changes that impact businesses can
drastically change entire industries.
Industry/Company Risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a specific company
within an industry. For example, oil-drilling companies depend on finding oil and then refining it,
which is a lengthy process before they can generate a profit. They carry a higher risk of fluctuations
in profitability than an electric company, which generates its income from a steady stream of clients
who buy electricity no matter what the economic environment is like.
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash. Generally, assets
are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized product. For example, Treasury Bills
are highly liquid, while real estate properties are not.
Management Risk. Your Financial Advisor’s investment approach may fail to produce the intended
results. If your Financial Advisor’s assumptions regarding the performance of a specific asset class
or fund are not realized in the expected time frame, the overall performance of your portfolio may
suffer.
Cybersecurity Risk. Indivisible and its service providers may be subject to operational and
information security risks resulting from cyberattacks. Cyberattacks include, among other
behaviors, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, denial of service attacks on
websites, the unauthorized release of confidential information or various other forms of
cybersecurity breaches. Cybersecurity attacks affecting Indivisible and its service providers may
adversely impact you. For instance, cyberattacks may interfere with the processing of transactions,
cause the release of private information about you, impede trading, subject Indivisible to regulatory
fines or financial losses, and cause reputational damage. Similar types of cybersecurity risks are
also present for issuers of securities in which you may invest in, qualified custodians, governmental
and other regulatory authorities, exchange and other financial market operators, or other financial
16
institutions. Cybersecurity incidents that could ultimately cause them to incur losses, including for
example: financial losses, cost and reputational damages, and loss from damage or interruption of
systems. Although Indivisible has established its systems to reduce the risk of these incidents from
coming to fruition, there is no guarantee that these efforts will always be successful, especially
considering that Indivisible does not directly control the cybersecurity measures and policies
employed by third party service providers.
Options Trading. The risks involved with trading options are that they are very time-sensitive
investments. An options contract is generally a few months. The buyer of an option could lose an
entire investment even with a correct prediction about the direction and magnitude of a particular
price change if the price change does not occur in the relevant time period (i.e., before the option
expires). Additionally, options are less tangible than some other investments. An option is a “book-
entry” only investment without a paper certificate of ownership.
Trading on Margin. In a cash account, the risk is limited to the amount of money that has been
invested. In a margin account, risk includes the amount of money invested plus the amount that
has been loaned. As market conditions fluctuate, the value of marginable securities will also
fluctuate, causing a change in the overall account balance and debt ratio. As a result, if the value of
the securities held in a margin account depreciates, you will be required to deposit additional cash
or make full payment of the margin loan to bring the account back up to maintenance levels. If you
cannot comply with such a margin call, you may be sold out or bought in by the brokerage firm.
Exchange-Traded Funds. ETFs are a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange.
The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are
designed to track, although lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in it being more volatile and ETFs
have management fees that increase their costs. ETFs are also subject to other risks, including:
(i) the risk that their prices may not correlate with changes in the underlying reference units; and
(ii) the risk of possible trading halts due to market conditions or other reasons that, in the view of
the exchange upon which an ETF trades, would make trading in the ETF inadvisable.
Mutual Fund Risks. An investment in mutual funds could be lost over short or even long periods. A
mutual fund’s share price and total return are expected to fluctuate within a wide range, like the
fluctuations of the overall stock market.
Common Stocks and Equity-Related Securities. Prices of common stock react to the economic
condition of the company that issued the security, industry and market conditions, and other
factors which may fluctuate widely. Investments related to the value of stocks may rise and fall
based on an issuer’s actual and anticipated earnings, changes in management, the potential for
takeovers and acquisitions, and other economic factors. Similarly, the value of other equity-related
securities, including preferred stock, warrants, and options may also vary widely. Certain ETFs or
mutual funds can also hold common stocks.
17
Small- and Mid-Cap Risks. Securities of small-cap issuers may present greater risks than those of
large-cap issuers. For example, some small- and mid-cap issuers often have limited product lines,
markets, or financial resources. They may be subject to high volatility in revenues, expenses, and
earnings. Their securities may be thinly traded, may be followed by fewer investment research
analysts, and may be subject to wider price swings and thus may create a greater chance of loss
than when investing in securities of larger-cap issuers. The market prices of securities of small-
and mid-cap issuers generally are more sensitive to changes in earnings expectations, to corporate
developments, and to market rumors than the market prices of large-cap issuers. Certain ETFs and
mutual funds can also hold securities of small- and mid-cap issuers.
Futures, Commodities, and Derivative Investments. Certain ETFs and mutual funds hold
commodities, commodities contracts, and/or derivative instruments, including futures, options and
swap agreements. The prices of commodities contracts and derivative instruments, including
futures and options, are highly volatile. Payments made pursuant to swap agreements may also be
highly volatile. Price movements of commodities, futures and options contracts, and payments
pursuant to swap agreements are influenced by, among other things, interest rates, changing
supply and demand relationships, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and
policies of governments, and national and international political and economic events and policies.
The value of futures, options, and swap agreements also depends upon the price of the
commodities underlying them. In addition, assets are subject to the risk of the failure of any of the
exchanges on which its positions trade or of its clearinghouses or counterparties.
Highly Volatile Markets. The prices of financial instruments can be highly volatile. Price movements
of forward and other derivative contracts are influenced by, among other things, interest rates,
changing supply and demand relationships, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs
and policies of governments, and national and international political and economic events and
policies. You are also subject to the risk of failure of any of the exchanges on which their positions
trade or of its clearinghouses.
Non-U.S. Securities. Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers pose a range of potential risks
which could include expropriation, confiscatory taxation, imposition of withholding or other taxes
on dividends, interest, capital gains or other income, political or social instability, illiquidity, price
volatility, and market manipulation. In addition, less information may be available regarding
securities of non-U.S. issuers, and non-U.S. issuers may not be subject to accounting, auditing and
financial reporting standards, and requirements comparable to or as uniform as those of U.S.
issuers. Certain ETFs and mutual funds can also hold securities of non-U.S. issuers.
Emerging Markets. In addition to the risks associated with investments outside of the United
States, investments in emerging markets (i.e., the developing countries) may involve additional
risks. Emerging markets generally are not as efficient as those in developed countries. In some
cases, a market for the security may not exist locally, and transactions will need to be made on a
neighboring exchange. Volume and liquidity levels in emerging markets are lower than in developed
countries. When seeking to sell emerging market securities, little or no market may exist for the
18
securities. In addition, issuers based in emerging markets are not generally subject to uniform
accounting and financial reporting standards, practices, and requirements comparable to those
applicable to issuers based in developed countries, thereby potentially increasing the risk of fraud
or other deceptive practices. Certain ETFs and mutual funds can also hold securities of emerging
markets issuers.
Capitalization Risks. Investing in companies within the same market capitalization category carries
the risk that the category may be out of favor due to current market conditions or investor
sentiment.
Inverse and Leveraged Products. Indivisible may recommend and engage in trading with leveraged
and inverse products. These products are aggressive in nature and carry unusual and significant
risks. They are not appropriate for inexperienced investors. These products are intended to be
used/traded daily. Most leveraged and inverse ETFs reset on a daily basis and have published
prospectuses that state (I) they are designed to achieve their stated objective within one day, (2)
clients can lose all of their investment potentially in one day, and (3) holding these securities for
periods longer than one day could lead to losses even if the underlying index moves in the
anticipated direction. Regulatory organizations, such as FINRA & SEC, have released alerts stating
that inverse and leveraged ETFs that reset daily typically are not suitable for retail investors who
plan to hold them longer than one day. Financial Advisors may hold these products in investment
accounts for periods of time significantly greater than one day. Investors with holding periods
longer than a day expose themselves to substantial risk as the holding period returns will deviate
from the returns to a leveraged or inverse investment in the index. It is possible for an investor in a
leveraged ETF to experience negative returns even when the underlying index has positive returns.
Alternative Investments. When appropriate for your objective, risk tolerance and qualifications,
Indivisible recommends you participate in private issues, such as single purpose vehicles, funds of
funds, private equity, and hedge funds. These are usually structured as limited partnerships with
differing minimum investments, liquidity, fees and carries.
The foregoing list of risk factors does not purport to be a complete enumeration or explanation of
the risks involved in an investment with Indivisible. You should understand and be willing to accept
these and other types of risks before choosing to invest in securities or receive investment advisory
services.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding legal,
disciplinary, or financial events that would be material to your evaluation of us or the integrity of
our management. We have no reportable disciplinary history information applicable to this item.
19
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
The Executive Chairman of Indivisible serves on the board of Franklin Resources, Inc. ("Franklin"),
and representatives from Franklin, Franklin Resources, Capital Group, and CAIS serve on
Indivisible's investment committee. These companies, or their affiliates, offer investments that
Financial Advisors can recommend to clients. These relationships can create a conflict of interest
because they have an incentive to recommend related investments to Financial Advisors in order
to benefit the respective companies.
Franklin also offers investment advisory-related services, including portfolio construction and
analysis tools, managed-options solutions, custom-indexing solutions, and training, to investment
advisers who meet a specific minimum asset threshold through its affiliated companies. These
advisory-related services, which recommend Franklin-related investments or services, are
integrated into our platform. Franklin provides us access to these advisory-related services at no
cost and waives its minimum asset threshold. Franklin generates revenue when our clients invest
in products from Franklin’s affiliated companies or use their services. This arrangement creates a
conflict of interest, as we are incentivized to recommend Franklin products or services to continue
receiving access to its investment advisory-related services.
To mitigate these conflicts, Indivisible
informs clients of these conflicts, monitors the
appropriateness of the recommendations through its regular supervision, and does not obligate its
Financial Advisors to offer these investments or services. Furthermore, clients may direct their
Financial Advisors to limit their recommendations or transactions in these investments.
Neither Indivisible nor its management are registered, or have an application pending to register,
as a broker-dealer or broker-dealer representative.
Neither Indivisible nor its management persons are registered, or have an application pending to
register, as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity trading
advisor, or an associated person of the foregoing entities.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics
Indivisible has adopted a Code of Ethics that establishes the fundamental principles of conduct
and professionalism expected by all personnel in discharging their duties. Our Code requires that
we conduct all business dealings in an ethical fashion and encourages us to meet not only the
technical requirements but also the spirit of our Code. We have a duty of care, loyalty, and honesty.
We must act in your best interest. Our Code requires us to comply with all federal securities laws.
In addition, we are prohibited from defrauding, misleading, or manipulating you in providing our
services. Further, we may not favor the interests of one client over another.
20
A copy of our Code of Ethics is available to you upon request.
Recommendations Involving Material Financial Interests
Indivisible does not recommend that the Client buy or sell any security in which a related person to
Indivisible or Indivisible has a material financial interest.
Investment Personal Money in the Same Securities as Clients
From time to time, Financial Advisors may buy or sell securities for themselves that they also
recommend to a client. This provides an opportunity for Financial Advisors to buy or sell the same
securities before or after recommending the same securities to a client resulting in the Financial
Advisor profiting off the recommendation they provide to the client. Such transactions create a
conflict of interest. To mitigate the conflict, Indivisible will document any transactions that could
be construed as conflicts of interest and will not engage in trading that operates to the client’s
disadvantage when similar securities are being bought or sold.
Trading Securities At/Around the Same Time as the Client’s Securities
From time to time, Financial Advisors may buy or sell securities for themselves at or around the
same time as the client. This provides an opportunity for Financial Advisors to buy or sell securities
before or after recommending securities to the client, resulting in the Financial Advisor profiting off
the recommendations they provide to the client. Such transactions create a conflict of interest;
however, Indivisible does not engage in trading that operates to the client’s disadvantage if the
Financial Advisors buy or sell at or around the same time as the client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
Selecting Brokers
We recommend you establish brokerage accounts with the qualified custodian listed below. We
are not affiliated with the custodian. Custodians generally do not charge separately for custody.
They are compensated by you through commissions or other transaction-related fees from trades
executed on their trading platform or settled in your account. We evaluate brokerage based on
execution services, investment offering, and quality of service.
Fidelity
Indivisible has an arrangement with National Financial Services LLC, and Fidelity Brokerage
Services LLC (together with all affiliates, “Fidelity”) through which Fidelity provides Indivisible with
Fidelity’s “platform” services. The platform services include, among others, brokerage, custodial,
administrative support, record keeping and related services that are intended to support
intermediaries like Indivisible in conducting business and in serving the best interest of their clients,
but that may also benefit Indivisible.
21
Fidelity charges brokerage commissions and transaction fees for effecting certain securities
transactions. The commissions and transaction fees charged by Fidelity may be higher or lower than
those charged by other custodians and broker-dealers.
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
As part of our relationship, Fidelity makes available to Indivisible, at no additional charge to
Indivisible, certain research, and brokerage services, including research services obtained by
Fidelity directly from independent research companies, as selected by Indivisible (within specified
parameters). These research and brokerage services presently include services such as
reimbursing Indivisible for expenses related to Financial Advisors and their respective clients to the
Fidelity platform for custodial and other services including managing accounts for which Indivisible
has investment discretion. Without this arrangement, Indivisible might be compelled to purchase
the same or similar services at its own expense.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
Fidelity covers certain transition-related expenses, e.g., legal, transition assistance, and technology
expenses, on Indivisible’s behalf and reimburses clients for termination fees charged by their
custodian broker-dealers when transferring their accounts to Fidelity. Typically, these costs would
be paid directly by Indivisible or, in the case of termination fees, billed directly to clients. By covering
these costs for Indivisible and its clients, Indivisible has an incentive to recommend that you
establish accounts with Fidelity, driven by Indivisible’s interest in providing this benefit to
Indivisible’s business instead of prioritizing your interests in securing the best value for custody
services and the most advantageous execution of your transactions. As a result, Indivisible has an
incentive to continue to use or to expand the use of Fidelity’s services, even if other custodians
might provide better terms or services for certain clients. This situation presents a conflict of
interest. Indivisible believes that choosing Fidelity as its custodian and broker-dealer serves the
best interests of the clients it recommends using Fidelity for their accounts. Indivisible does not
engage in soft dollar arrangements. We have implemented a policy that requires approval,
reporting, and monitoring of soft dollar benefits. Indivisible has examined this potential conflict of
interest and has determined that the relationship is in the best of interests of its clients.
Directed Brokerage
Indivisible will evaluate the use of any broker dealer not mentioned above on a case-by-case basis.
If you direct us to use a particular broker dealer not mentioned above, we may not be able to achieve
best execution such as negotiated commissions. Commission charges may be more or less than
those charged to other clients.
You may direct transactions for services or products with other professionals. Financial Advisors
may also provide those services or products. See Compensation on the Sale of Financial Products
in Item 5 of this brochure for more information.
22
Trade Aggregation
Because your account is managed individually, we do not aggregate your trades with others. Mutual
fund trades do not provide an aggregation benefit. Non-aggregated trades in equity securities can
result in your paying higher brokerage costs. For trade aggregation in connection with TPIMs, you
should refer to the program agreements or associated disclosure brochures of the manager.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Your Financial Advisor reviews your account on a continuous and regular basis. These reviews
monitor your account performance with your stated investment objectives and guidelines. Cash
needs will be adjusted, as necessary.
Additional reviews are triggered by market, economic, political events, or by changes in your
financial situation. It is your responsibility to notify your Financial Advisor of any changes in your
financial situation or circumstances that would materially impact the recommendations or services
we provide.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Client Referrals
Financial Advisors receive a number of referrals from existing clients and other professionals.
These existing clients and professional referrals serve as the basis for adding new clients.
Indivisible does not pay clients or other professionals for referrals.
Other Compensation
Indivisible offers a range of investments and services to its clients. As you work with your Financial
Advisor to determine the most appropriate types of accounts, investments, and services to achieve
your investment goals, it is also important to understand how Indivisible and its Financial Advisors
are compensated. Certain forms of compensation create conflicts of interest and it is important
for you to assess these conflicts when making decisions about your services and investments.
Transition Support Benefits
When a Financial Advisor joins Indivisible after working with another financial services firm, the
Financial Advisor is eligible to receive transition support compensation from Indivisible in
connection with the transition. This transition support can include payments that are intended to
replace existing compensation for up to 12 months. Provided the Financial Advisor maintains
his/her affiliation with Indivisible and meets the terms of their individual agreement with Indivisible,
this assistance is not required to be repaid.
23
Profit-Sharing Benefits
In addition to fee-based compensation, Financial Advisors may also be eligible to receive certain
profit-sharing benefits. Such profit-sharing is dependent on meeting the Financial Advisor’s
individual goals as well as Indivisible meeting its corporate revenue objectives. The payment of
profit-sharing benefits does not impact the total fees paid by the client.
These benefits are financial incentives that create conflicts of interest in connection with your
Financial Advisor’s recommendation of Indivisible. We encourage you to discuss these conflicts of
interest with your Financial Advisor before deciding to open an account with Indivisible.
Item 15 – Custody
Your account assets are held by a qualified custodian. You have access to your portfolio holdings
and activity through your custodian’s platform, which generally permits you to log into your account
via secure login and password. In addition, your custodian will send, or make available, on a
quarterly basis or more frequently, account statements directly to you. We urge you to carefully
review your custodian statements and compare the information therein with any financial
statements or reports received or made available to you through Indivisible or your Financial
Advisor. You should contact your Financial Advisor and/or your custodian if there are any
discrepancies regarding these documents.
Your custodian will also provide you with confirmations of trading activity, asset movement, and
various tax forms. Trade confirmation suppression is available upon request. For accounts held at
Fidelity, unless you make an election on the custodian’s account application, you will not receive
separate confirmations for each transaction. In lieu of separate trade confirmations, the
information will be provided in a quarterly confirmation report via e-delivery at no additional charge.
You can obtain, by request, trade by trade confirmations. However, if Fidelity delivers such to you
via US mail, a paper delivery charge is assessed.
Indivisible is deemed to have limited custody of your account’s funds and securities when you
authorize us to debit fees directly from your account. Authorization to debit fees directly from your
account is granted by you in your Indivisible Advisory Agreement or Indivisible Financial Planning
Agreement. We are also deemed to have custody of your funds and/or securities when you have a
standing letter of authorization (“SLOA”) on file with your account custodian to move money from
your account to a third party and, pursuant to the SLOA, authorizes us to designate, based on your
instructions from time to time, the amount or timing of the transfers. We follow certain required
procedural safeguards intended to alleviate Indivisible from performing additional regulatory
obligations.
24
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
You must acknowledge and grant Indivisible discretionary authority to manage certain accounts in
your Advisory Agreement. You also indicate any account restrictions, self-directed assets, and non-
discretionary assets. You must sign a limited power of attorney before we have discretionary
authority over your account. The limited power of attorney is included in your custodian’s account
application. For accounts not held with Fidelity, you may need to sign a separate limited power of
attorney to grant discretionary authority. Discretionary authority facilitates our placing trades in
your account on your behalf. This allows us the ability to determine the securities to be bought or
sold and the amount without obtaining your consent. In a non-discretionary capacity, your Financial
Advisor will consult with you prior to each trade for your approval.
Third party program managers have full discretion over transactions in their program. They do not
consult with Indivisible, our Financial Advisors, or you before placing trades.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
We do not vote proxies for you. You retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for
securities held in your accounts. Your account custodian will send these to you or your designee.
Your Financial Advisor may provide advice to you at your request regarding a securities proxy
question.
Proxy Voting by Third-Party Investment Manager
When we engage TPIMs to provide investment management for all or a portion of your assets, the
third-party manager may exercise proxy voting authority over securities in your account as
disclosed in its separate disclosure documents and agreements.
Item 18 – Financial Information
We do not have a financial impairment that would preclude us from meeting our contractual
commitments to you.
In addition, we do not act as custodian, have access to client account distributions beyond the
direct debit of fees or your established SLOAs, or require the prepayment of fees from you of more
than $1,200 six months or more in advance. As a result, we are not required to provide you with our
balance sheet.
25
