Advisory Business - Item 4
Innovative Private Wealth Management Inc. (hereinafter “IPWM” or the “firm”) is a registered investment adviser
based in Somers, New York. We are a corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York. We have
been providing investment advisory services since 2023. Nicholas Mancini is the principal owner of IPWM.
You will see the term “Associated Person” throughout this Brochure. As used in this Brochure, this term refers to
anyone from our firm who is an officer, an employee, and all individuals providing investment advice on behalf of
our firm. Where required, such persons are properly registered as investment adviser representatives.
Currently, we offer the following investment advisory services, personalized for each individual Client:
• Wealth Management Services
•
Financial Consulting Services
Wealth Management Services
IPWM offers wealth management services to Clients where we manage our client’s investments within the larger
context of the client’s overall wealth management and planning process. Wealth management services consist of
ongoing advice and discretionary portfolio management services. At the start of the service, an Associated Person
will have one or more consultations with the Client to determine the Client’s investment objectives, risk tolerance,
and other relevant information (the “suitability information”). We will also use the information we gather from
our consultation(s) to create an investment strategy.
As part of our overall wealth management services, we offer financial planning services typically focused on the
specific needs and concerns of the client. These services cover topics such as estate and gift planning, education
planning, retirement planning, risk management (insurance issues), and non-investment related matters. A
financial plan may include, but is not limited to a net worth statement, cash flow statement, review of investment
accounts including reviewing past asset allocations, providing asset repositioning recommendations, strategic tax
planning, education planning with funding recommendations, review of retirement accounts and plans including
recommendations and one or more retirement scenarios, review of insurance policies and recommendations for
changes, if necessary and an estate planning review with related recommendations. IPWM encourages clients to
work with the firm to obtain these planning services because the firm believes this planning component is
beneficial in achieving the Client’s long-term financial goals.
IPWM implements investment recommendations as part of its ongoing portfolio management service by
developing a strategy that enables us to give the Client continuous and focused investment advice. As part of our
portfolio management services, we customize an investment portfolio in line with the Client’s risk tolerance and
investing objectives. Once we construct an investment portfolio, we will monitor your portfolio’s performance on
an ongoing basis, and will rebalance the portfolio as required by changes in market conditions and/or the Client’s
financial circumstances.
Our portfolio management services are primarily offered on a discretionary basis. Discretionary portfolio
management means we will make investment decisions and place buy or sell orders in your account without
contacting you for prior approval of each transaction. These decisions are made based upon your stated
investment objectives. Discretionary authority will also provide our firm with authorization to delegate
discretionary investment management services to other unaffiliated Sub-Advisors selected by our firm based on
your investment objectives and portfolio strategy. You may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain
securities, types of securities, or industry sectors. In limited circumstances and in our sole discretion, we may
offer portfolio management services on a non-discretionary basis. If you enter into non-discretionary
Innovative Private Wealth Management Inc.
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement
Page 5
arrangements with our firm, we must obtain your approval prior to executing any transactions on behalf of your
account.
IPWM does not recommend one particular type of security over other types of securities. We provide advice on
various types of securities, including advice on existing investments you may hold at the inception of the advisory
relationship or on other types of investments for which you ask advice.
In some cases, IPWM will recommend that clients invest in tax efficient private investment funds (the “TEFs”)
organized as limited liability companies. The TEFs will purchase privately placed deferred variable annuity
contracts (each, a “Contract”) purchased from one or more U.S. insurance companies. The investment returns on
the Contracts will be linked to the performance of privately placed insurance dedicated investment funds or
separately managed accounts (each, a “TEF Managed Account”) each managed by an investment manager. IPWM
may act as investment manager for some of the TEF Managed Accounts.
In some cases, IPWM will also recommend that clients invest in managed accounts, private equity funds, hedge
funds, non-traded REITs, business development companies, limited partnerships, and other pooled investment
vehicles (all of the foregoing, collectively, “Private Funds”).
All Investment Managers, including Investment Managers to Private Funds recommended by our firm must either
be registered as investment advisers or exempt from registration requirements. These Investment Managers may
specialize in traditional investment management or alternative strategies like private equity investments, private
credit markets, hedge fund strategies, or others. Factors that we take into consideration when making our
recommendations and/or selecting Private Funds include, but are not limited to, the following: the Investment
Managers’ performance and methods of analysis and your financial needs, investment goals, risk tolerance, and
investment objectives. We will periodically monitor the Investment Managers’ performance to ensure that its
management and investment style remain aligned with your investment goals and objectives.
Interests in the TEFs and other Private Funds are offered and sold exclusively to investors satisfying the applicable
eligibility and suitability requirements in private transactions. Additionally, investors are urged to carefully review
the applicable offering documents for a description of the fees, investment objectives, risks and other important
information associated with investing in TEFs and other Private Funds.
IPWM will monitor your portfolio’s performance on a continuous basis, and rebalance the portfolio whenever
necessary, as changes occur in market conditions, your financial circumstances, or both.
The advice we propose is designed to achieve the client’s desired goals which may require revision to meet
changing circumstances. Our recommendations are based on your situation from the information provided to the
firm.
Management of Held Away Assets
As part of our wealth management services, we provide asset allocation review, rebalancing and management
services for accounts that are not held in custody of the qualified custodian(s) recommended by our firm. These
services are provided through an account aggregation service called Pontera. The service primarily applies to
ERISA and non-ERISA plan assets such as 401(k)s and 403(b)s, and other assets that must be held in custody of
the plan custodian(s). We regularly review the available investment options in these accounts, monitor them, and
periodically rebalance and implement our strategies using different tools, as necessary. If you elect to allow our
firm to manage your assets through Pontera, you will be notified via email when we place trades through Pontera.
Under no circumstances will we possess privileges that would impute custody to our firm under applicable rules
and regulations, including, but not limited to: maintaining your account log-in credentials on file; having the ability
to change your address on record or ability to authorize distributions from your accounts; or authorization to
open any new accounts on your behalf through the web-based platform.

Financial Consulting Services
Although IPWM does not provide broad based financial planning services outside of our wealth management
service, we provide consulting services that focus on the specific needs and concerns of the client. Financial
consulting services may include giving advice on investment and investment related matters. These services
include the identification of financial goals and objectives, collection and assessment of all relevant data,
identification of financial problems and formulation of solutions, and, if requested by the Client, the preparation
of a plan in the form of specific written recommendations. The services we provide will typically focus on one or
more of the following areas:
Retirement Planning
Retirement Planning is a process of determining retirement income goals and the actions and decisions necessary
to achieve those goals. Retirement planning includes identifying sources of income, estimating expenses,
implementing a savings program and managing assets. Future cash flows are estimated to determine if the
retirement income goal will be achieved.
Tax Planning
The goal of tax planning is to arrange your financial affairs so as to minimize your taxes. There are three basic
ways to reduce your taxes, and each basic method might have several variations. You can reduce your income,
increase your deductions, and take advantage of tax credits.
Investment Planning
The goal of investment planning is to determine the investment mix and policy, matching investments to
objectives, asset allocation for individuals and institutions, and balancing risk against performance. The process
realizes strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks in the choice of debt vs. equity, domestic vs. international,
growth vs. safety, and many other tradeoffs encountered in the attempt to maximize return at a given risk.
Financial plans are based on your financial situation and the financial information you provide to our firm. If your
financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs change, you must notify us promptly.
You may choose to accept or reject our recommendations. If you decide to proceed with our recommendations,
you may do so either through our firm or by using the advisory/brokerage firm of your choice.
Important Note: Information related to tax and legal consequences that is provided as part of the financial plan is
for informative purposes only. Clients are instructed to contact their tax or legal advisers for personalized advice
Management Services to Pooled Investment Vehicles
IPWM serves as the manager and investment adviser to certain pooled investment vehicles that are structured
as private funds (the “Funds”). The Funds are affiliated with our firm through common control and ownership.
With respect to investors who are “U.S. Persons,” investments in the Funds, and Series of the Funds, are offered
and sold only to “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Reg D under the Securities Act.
Investors to whom the Funds are offered will receive a private placement memorandum and other offering
documents. You should refer to the offering documents for a complete description of the fees, investment
objectives, risks and other relevant information associated with investing in the Funds. Persons affiliated with our
firm will make investments in the Funds and as a result will have an incentive to recommend the Funds over other
investments. This, along with receipt of additional fees for management and performance, create a conflict of
interest for our firm. However, as our firm serves as a fiduciary, we will only make recommendations that we
believe are in the best interest of each client.

Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, we provide continuous management services for approximately $285,370,757 in client
assets managed on a discretionary basis and $81,636,009 in client assets managed on a non-discretionary basis.
Fees and Compensation - Item 5
Wealth Management Services Fees
Wealth management fees are billed monthly, in advance, and are based on the value of your portfolio at the end
of the preceding month. Terms of payment are stated in the portfolio management agreement signed by the
Client and the firm. Generally, the portfolio management fee will be deducted from the Client’s account held with
a non-affiliated, qualified custodian. The qualified custodian will provide the Client with an account statement.
This statement will detail all account activity, including any fees deducted from the account(s). We may deduct
the fee from a single, client-designated account to facilitate billing. IPWM will also receive a copy of your account
statements from the custodian. Please review each statement for accuracy. Please let us know immediately if you
have questions about or if you did not receive a statement. In our sole discretion, we may also negotiate other
fee payment arrangements with clients. These payment arrangements will be clearly set forth in the wealth
management agreement signed by the Client and the firm.
On an annualized basis, IPWM typically charges an annual fee, based upon a percentage of the market value of
the assets being managed, ranging up to 2.00% of assets under management. We may also negotiate other fee
schedules, such as an annual fixed fee or an annual percentage of assets under management fee based on a tiered
fee schedule.
Our management fees are billed on all securities and investments that we manage as part of your overall portfolio,
including illiquid positions and investments in private placements. Fees are negotiable depending on factors such
as the amount of assets under management, range of investments, and complexity of the Client’s financial
circumstances, among others. The exact fee to be paid by the Client will be clearly stated in the wealth
management agreement signed by the Client and the firm.
At the inception of wealth management services, the first pay period’s fees will be calculated on a pro-rata basis.
The wealth management agreement between the Client and IPWM will continue in effect until either party
terminates the wealth management agreement in accordance with the terms of the wealth management
agreement. IPWM’s annual fee will be pro-rated through the date of termination and any pre-paid, unearned fees
will be promptly refunded to the Client.
Our annual fee is exclusive of, and in addition to, brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related
costs and expenses. You are responsible for brokerage costs incurred. However, IPWM will not receive any portion
of the commissions, fees, and costs. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for further information on brokerage
and transaction costs. We urge clients to review this section in detail to familiarize themselves with the custodial
fee billing arrangements negotiated with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. and Digital Trust.
As disclosed under Item 4, we will recommend tax efficient private investment funds (the “TEFs”) to certain
eligible clients. In some instances, we may also serve as the investment manager to the managed accounts within
the recommended TEF, and we will receive a management fee in that separate capacity. Consequently, client
assets invested in TEFs where we serve as an investment manager to the separately managed accounts within the
TEF will be excluded from our firm’s wealth management fee. Under no circumstances we will bill on client assets
invested in private funds where we also receive a manager fee serving as an investment manager to that private
fund.
Financial Consulting Services Fees
Innovative Private Wealth Management Inc.
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement
Page 8
IPWM charges a negotiable hourly fee of $400 for stand-alone financial consulting services. For ongoing consulting
arrangements, we charge a monthly fee ranging up to $10,000. Prior to engaging IPWM to provide financial
consulting services, clients will be required to enter into a written financial consulting agreement which will set
forth the terms and conditions of the engagement and will describe the scope of the services to be provided.
Fees are typically payable in arrears, but we may negotiate other fee payment arrangements with clients on a
case-by-case basis, such as monthly fees for ongoing arrangement.
Either party may terminate the financial consulting agreement by written notice to the other. Refunds are
typically not applicable since fees are payable in arrears. In the event we negotiate a fee collected in advance, any
unearned fees will be refunded to the client upon termination.
Management Services to Pooled Investment Vehicles
We receive a management fee as the manager and investment adviser to the Funds. These fees are separate from
and in addition to the advisory fee we charge you for the management of your portfolio. If a client of our firm
invests in the Funds, IPWM (our firm) will receive two layers of fees on the same assets.
Certain of the Funds either charge or have the option to charge performance-based fees in addition to the
management fee. Please refer to the private placement memoranda and other offering documents for more
information on the management fees associated with investments in the Funds and any performance allocation
received for the management of the Funds.
Individual Retirement Account Rollover Disclosures
As a normal extension of financial advice, we provide education or recommendations related to the rollover of an
employer-sponsored retirement plan. A plan participant leaving employment has several options. Each choice
offers advantages and disadvantages, depending on desired investment options and services, fees and expenses,
withdrawal options, required minimum distributions, tax treatment, and the investor's unique financial needs and
retirement plans. The complexity of these choices may lead an investor to seek assistance from us.
An Associated Person who recommends an investor roll over plan assets into an Individual Retirement Account
(“IRA”) may earn an asset-based fee as a result, but no compensation if assets are retained in the plan. Thus, we
have an economic incentive to encourage an investor to roll plan assets into an IRA. In most cases, fees and
expenses will increase to the investor as a result because the above-described fees will apply to assets rolled over
to an IRA and outlined ongoing services will be extended to these assets.
We are fiduciaries under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and when we provide investment advice to you
regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are also fiduciaries within the
meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as
applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. We have to act in your best interests and not put our
interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests.
Additional Fees and Expenses
Fees are negotiable based on the amount of assets under management, complexity of Client goals and objectives,
and level of services rendered. As described above, the fees are charged as described and are not based on a
share of capital gains of the funds of any advisory Client.
All fees paid to IPWM for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses
charged to shareholders by mutual funds or exchange traded funds. These fees and expenses are described in
each fund's prospectus. These fees generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, and a possible
distribution fee. If the fund also imposes sales charges, you may pay an initial or deferred sales charge.

A Client could invest in a mutual fund directly, without the services of IPWM. In which case, the Client would not
receive the services provided by IPWM, which are designed, among other things, to assist the Client in
determining which mutual fund or funds are most appropriate to their financial condition and objectives.
Accordingly, Clients should review the fees charged by the funds and the fees charged by IPWM to fully
understand the total amount of fees charged and to evaluate the cost of advisory services being provided.
In addition to the payment of an advisory fee to our firm, Clients investing in alternative investments will pay a
separate fee to underlying investment managers, and certain other fees and expenses of underlying investment
funds in which the client invests. Investors in alternative investments may also pay carried interest, performance
or incentive allocations to an underlying manager or sponsor of an underlying investment fund in which they
invest, all of which contribute to the overall cost of the investment.
Negotiability of Fees: We allow Associated Persons servicing the account to negotiate the exact investment
management fees within the range disclosed in our Form ADV Part 2A Brochure. As a result, the Associated Person
servicing your account may charge more or less for the same service than another Associated Person of our firm.
Further, our annual investment management fee may be higher than that charged by other investment advisors
offering similar services/programs.
Billing on Cash Positions: The firm treats cash and cash equivalents as an asset class. Accordingly, unless otherwise
agreed in writing, all cash and cash equivalent positions (e.g., money market funds, etc.) are included as part of
assets under management for purposes of calculating the firm’s advisory fee. At any specific point in time,
depending upon perceived or anticipated market conditions/events (there being no guarantee that such
anticipated market conditions/events will occur), the firm may maintain cash and/or cash equivalent positions for
defensive, liquidity, or other purposes. While assets are maintained in cash or cash equivalents, such amounts
could miss market advances and, depending upon current yields, at any point in time, the firm’s advisory fee could
exceed the interest paid by the client’s cash or cash equivalent positions.
Billing on Margin: Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the gross amount of assets in the client’s account, including
margin balances, are included as part of assets under management for purposes of calculating the firm’s advisory
fee. Clients should note that this practice will increase total assets under management used to calculate advisory
fees which will in turn increase the amount of fees collected by our firm. This practice creates a conflict of interest
in that our firm has an incentive to use margin in order to increase the amount of billable assets. At all times, the
firm and its Associated Persons strive to uphold their fiduciary duty of fair dealing with clients. Clients are free to
restrict the use of margin by our firm. However, clients should note that any restriction on the use of margin may
negatively impact an account’s performance in a rising market.
Periods of Portfolio Inactivity: The firm has a fiduciary duty to provide services consistent with the client’s best
interest. As part of its investment advisory services, the firm will review client portfolios on an ongoing basis to
determine if any changes are necessary based upon various factors, including but not limited to investment
performance, fund manager tenure, style drift, account additions/withdrawals, the client’s financial
circumstances, and changes in the client’s investment objectives. Based upon these and other factors, there may
be extended periods of time when the firm determines that changes to a client’s portfolio are neither necessary
nor prudent. Notwithstanding, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the firm’s annual investment advisory fee will
continue to apply during these periods, and there can be no assurance that investment decisions made by the
firm will be profitable or equal any specific performance level(s).
We do not represent, warrant, or imply that the services or methods of analysis employed by us can or will predict
future results, successfully identify market tops or bottoms, or insulate you from losses due to market corrections
or declines.
Compensation for the Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products
Innovative Private Wealth Management Inc.
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement
Page 10
Certain Executive officers and other Associated Persons of our firm are licensed as independent insurance agents.
These persons will earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance
products they sell to our clients. Insurance commissions earned by these persons are separate from and in
addition to our advisory fees. The sale of insurance instruments and other commissionable products offered by
Associated Persons are intended to complement our advisory services. However, this practice presents a conflict
of interest because persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm who are insurance agents have an
incentive to recommend insurance products to you for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely
based on your needs. We address this conflict of interest by recommending insurance products only where we,
in good faith, believe that it is appropriate for the client’s particular needs and circumstances and only after a full
presentation of the recommended insurance product to our client. In addition, we explain the insurance
underwriting process to our clients to illustrate how the insurer also reviews the client’s application and
disclosures prior to the issuance of a resulting insuring agreement. Clients to whom the firm offers advisory
services are informed that they are under no obligation to purchase insurance services. Clients who do choose to
purchase insurance services are under no obligation to use our licensed Associated Persons and may use the
insurance brokerage firm and agent of their choice.
Where fixed annuities are sold, clients should also note that the annuity sales result in substantial up-front
commissions and ongoing trails based on the annuity’s total value. In addition, many annuities contain surrender
charges and/or restrictions on access to your funds. Payments and withdrawals can have tax consequences.
Optional lifetime income benefit riders are used to calculate lifetime payments only and are not available for cash
surrender or in a death benefit unless specified in the annuity contract. In some annuity products, fees can apply
when using an income rider. Annuity guarantees are based on the financial strength and claims-paying ability of
the issuing insurance company. We urge our clients to read all insurance contract disclosures carefully before
making a purchase decision. Rates and returns mentioned on any program presented are subject to change
without notice. Insurance products are subject to fees and additional expenses.
Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management - Item 6
Performance-based fees are based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the Client’s assets.
Side-by-side management refers to the practice of managing accounts that are charged performance-based fees
while at the same time managing accounts that are not charged performance-based fees.
We do not accept performance-based fees for Wealth Management Services. However, we reserve the right to
charge performance-based fees for certain of the Funds, as described in their respective private placement
memoranda and other offering documents.
We only charge performance-based fees when an investor in the Funds is a "qualified client" with whom we have
agreed to this payment arrangement. Such clients must have a net worth greater than $2,200,000 or for whom
we manage at least $1,100,000 immediately after entering an agreement for our services. Performance-based
fees are fees based on a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of a qualified client's account.
We manage accounts and portfolios that are charged performance-based fees while at the same time managing
accounts and portfolios (perhaps with similar objectives) that are not charged performance-based fees ("side-by-
side management"). Performance-based fees and side-by-side management create conflicts of interest, which we
have identified and described in the following paragraphs.
Performance-based fees create an incentive for our firm to make investments that are riskier or more speculative
than would be the case absent a performance fee arrangement. In order to address this potential conflict of
Innovative Private Wealth Management Inc.
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement
Page 11
interest, our CCO or Investment Officer periodically review client accounts to ensure that investments are suitable
and that the account is being managed according to the client's investment objectives and risk tolerance.
Performance-based fees also create an incentive for our firm to overvalue investments that lack a market
quotation. In order to address such conflict, we have adopted policies and procedures that require our firm to
"fairly value" any investments, which do not have a readily ascertainable value.
Side-by-side management provides an incentive for our firm to favor accounts for which we receive a
performance-based fee. For example, we may have an incentive to allocate limited investment opportunities,
such as initial public offerings, to clients who are charged performance-based fees over clients who are charged
asset-based fees only. To address this conflict of interest, we have instituted policies and procedures that require
our firm to allocate investment opportunities (if they are suitable) in an effort to avoid favoritism among our
clients, regardless of whether the client is charged performance fees.
Types of Clients - Item 7
We generally offer investment advisory services to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations,
corporations and other business entities.
IPWM generally requires a minimum account size of $100,000 for advisory accounts. However, from time-to-time,
in its sole discretion, IPWM may accept smaller accounts based on various criteria, such as anticipated future
assets, related accounts, and other factors.
With respect to investors in the Funds who are “U.S. Persons,” investments in the Funds, and Series of the Funds,
are offered and sold only to “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Reg D under the
Securities Act. Individuals (i.e., natural persons) may qualify as accredited investors if they meet certain
professional criteria, or ,either of the following financial criteria:
• Net worth over $1 million, excluding primary residence (individually or with spouse or partner);
•
Income over $200,000 (individually) or $300,000 (with spouse or partner) in each of the prior two years,
and reasonably expects the same for the current year.
4B=Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss - Item 8
Our investment strategies and advice may vary depending on your specific financial situation. As such, we
determine investments and allocations based on your predefined objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, financial
horizon, financial information, liquidity needs, and other various suitability factors. Your restrictions and
guidelines may affect the composition of your portfolio.
We may use one or more of the following methods of analysis when providing investment advice to you:
•
Fundamental Analysis – Fundamental analysis is a method of evaluating a company or security by
attempting to measure its intrinsic value. In other words, trying to determine a company’s or a security’s
true value by looking at all aspects of the business, including both tangible factors (e.g., machinery
buildings, land, etc.) and intangible factors (e.g., patents, trademarks, “brand” names, etc.). Fundamental
analysis also involves examining related economic factors (e.g., overall economy and industry conditions,
etc.), financial factors (e.g., company debt, interest rates, management salaries, and bonuses, etc.),
Innovative Private Wealth Management Inc.
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement
Page 12
qualitative factors (e.g., management expertise, industry cycles, labor relations, etc.), and quantitative
factors (e.g., debt-to-equity and price-to-equity ratios). The end goal of performing fundamental analysis
is to produce a value that an investor can compare with the security's current price in hopes of
determining what sort of position to take with that security (underpriced = buy, overpriced = sell or
short). This method of security analysis is considered the opposite of technical analysis. Fundamental
analysis is about using real data to evaluate a security's value. Although most analysts use fundamental
analysis to value stocks, this method of valuation can be used for just about any type of security. The risk
associated with fundamental analysis is that information obtained may be incorrect and the analysis may
not provide an accurate estimate of earnings, which may be the basis for a stock's value. If securities
prices adjust rapidly to new information, utilizing fundamental analysis may not result in favorable
performance.
• Technical Analysis – Technical analysis is a technique that relies on the assumption that current market
data (such as charts of price, volume, and open interest) can help predict future market trends, at least
in the short term. It assumes that market psychology influences trading and can predict when stocks will
rise or fall. Technical trading models are mathematically driven based on historical data and trends of
domestic and foreign market trading activity, including various industry and sector trading statistics
within such markets. Technical trading models, through mathematical algorithms, attempt to identify
when markets are likely to increase or decrease and identify appropriate entry and exit points. The
primary risk of technical trading models is that historical trends and past performance cannot predict
future trends, and there is no assurance that the mathematical algorithms employed are designed
properly, updated with new data, and can accurately predict future market, industry, and sector
performance.
•
Cyclical Analysis – Cyclical analysis is similar to technical analysis in that it involves the analysis of market
conditions at a macro (entire market/economy) or micro (company specific) level, rather than the overall
fundamental analysis of the health of the particular company. The primary risks with cyclical analysis are
similar to those of technical analysis.
•
Charting Analysis – Charting analysis involves the gathering and processing of price and volume pattern
information for a particular security, sector, broad index, or commodity. This price and volume pattern
information is analyzed. The resulting pattern and correlation data is used to detect departures from
expected performance and diversification and predict future price movements and trends. The primary
risk of charting analysis is that it may not accurately detect anomalies or predict future price movements.
Current prices of securities may reflect all information known about the security and day-to-day changes
in market prices of securities may follow random patterns and may not be predictable with any reliable
degree of accuracy.
We may use one or more of the following investment strategies when advising you on investments:
• Long-Term Purchases – securities purchased with the expectation that the value of those securities will
grow over a relatively long period of time, generally greater than one year. Using a long-term purchase
strategy generally assumes the financial markets will go up in the long term which may not be the case.
There is also the risk that the segment of the market that you are invested in or perhaps just your
particular investment will go down over time even if the overall financial markets advance. Purchasing
investments long-term may create an opportunity cost - "locking up" assets that may be better utilized
in the short-term in other investments.
• Short-Term Purchases – securities purchased with the expectation that they will be sold within a relatively
short period of time, generally less than one year, to take advantage of the securities' short-term price
fluctuations. Using a short-term purchase strategy generally assumes that we can predict how financial
Innovative Private Wealth Management Inc.

Page 13
markets will perform in the short term which may be very difficult and will incur a disproportionately
higher amount of transaction costs compared to long-term trading. Many factors can affect financial
market performance in the short term (such as short-term interest rate changes, cyclical earnings
announcements, etc.) but may have a smaller impact over longer periods of time.
• Option Writing – an option is the right either to buy or sell a specified amount or value of a particular
underlying investment instrument at a fixed price (i.e. the “exercise price”) by exercising the option
before its specified expiration date. Options giving you the right to buy are called “call” options. Options
giving you the right to sell are called “put” options. When trading options on behalf of a Client, we
generally use covered options. Covered options involve options trading when you own the underlying
instrument on which the option is based. Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value
in a relatively short period of time. Option contracts are leveraged instruments that allow the holder of
a single contract to control many shares of an underlying stock. This leverage can compound gains or
losses
• Trading – securities are sold within 30 days. The principal type of risk associated with trading is market
risk. There can be no assurance that a specific investment will achieve its investment objectives and past
performance should not be seen as a guide to future returns. The value of investments and the income
derived may fall as well as rise and investors may not recoup the original amount invested. Other factors,
such as changes in exchange control regulation, tax laws, withholding taxes, international, political and
economic developments, and government, economic, or monetary policies, may affect investments as
well. Additionally, trading is speculative. Market movements are difficult to predict and are influenced
by, among other things, government trade, fiscal, monetary, and exchange control programs and
policies; changing supply and demand relationships; national and international political and economic
events; changes in interest rates; and the inherent volatility of the marketplace. In addition, governments
from time to time intervene, directly and by regulation, in certain markets, often with the intent to
influence prices directly. The effects of government intervention may be particularly significant at certain
times in the financial instrument markets and such intervention (as well as other factors) may cause
these markets to move rapidly.
• Margin Transactions – margin strategies allow an investor to purchase securities on credit and to borrow
on securities already in their custodial account. Interest is charged on any borrowed funds for the period
that the loan is outstanding. When you purchase securities, you may pay for the securities in full or you
may borrow part of the purchase price from your broker-dealer. If you intend to borrow funds in
connection with your account, you will be required to open a margin account, which will be carried by
the broker-dealer of your account. The securities purchased in such an account are the broker-dealer’s
collateral for its loan to you. If the securities in a margin account decline in value, the value of the
collateral supporting this loan also declines, and, as a result, a brokerage firm is required to take action,
such as issue a margin call and/or sell securities or other assets in your accounts, in order to maintain
necessary level of equity in the account. It is important that you fully understand the risks involved in
trading securities on margin, which are applicable to any margin account that you may maintain,
including any margin Account that may be established as a part of our advisory services and held by your
broker-dealer. These risks include the following:
1. You can lose more funds than you deposit in your margin account.
2. The broker-dealer can force the sale of securities or other assets in your account.
3. The broker-dealer can sell your securities or other assets without contacting you.
4. You may not be able to choose which securities or other assets in your margin account are
liquidated or sold to meet a margin call.
5. The broker-dealer may move securities held in your cash account to your margin account and
pledge the transferred securities.
6. You may not be entitled to an extension of time on a margin call.

Investing in securities involves the risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Clients should fully
understand the nature of the contractual relationship(s) into which they are entering and the extent of their risk
exposure. Certain investment strategies may not be suitable for many members of the public. You should carefully
consider whether the strategies employed would be appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives,
financial resources, and other relevant circumstances.
Recommendation of Particular Types of Securities
As disclosed under the “Advisory Business” section in this Brochure, we provide advice on various types of
securities and we do not necessarily recommend one particular type of security over another since each Client
has different needs and different tolerance for risk. Each type of security has its own unique set of risks associated
with it and it would not be possible to list here all of the specific risks of every type of investment. Even within
the same type of investment, risks can vary widely. However, in very general terms, the higher the anticipated
return of an investment, the higher the risk of loss associated with it.
General Investment Risk: All investments come with the risk of losing money. Investing involves substantial risks,
including complete possible loss of principal plus other losses and may not be suitable for many members of the
public. Investments, unlike savings and checking accounts at a bank, are not insured by the government to protect
against market losses. Different market instruments carry different types and degrees of risk and you should
familiarize yourself with the risks involved in the particular market instruments in which you intend to invest.
Loss of Value: There can be no assurance that a specific investment will achieve its investment objectives and
past performance should not be seen as a guide to future returns. The value of investments and the income
derived may fall as well as rise and investors may not recoup the original amount invested. Investments may also
be affected by any changes in exchange control regulation, tax laws, withholding taxes, international, political and
economic developments, and governmental economic or monetary policies.
Interest Rate Risk: Fixed income securities and funds that invest in bonds and other fixed income securities may
fall in value if interest rates change. Generally, the prices of debt securities rise when interest rates fall, and their
prices fall when interest rates rise. Longer-term debt securities are usually more sensitive to interest rate changes.
Credit Risk: Investments in bonds and other fixed income securities are subject to the risk that the issuer(s) may
not make required interest payments. An issuer suffering an adverse change in its financial condition could lower
the credit quality of a security, leading to greater price volatility of the security. A lowering of the credit rating of
a security may also offset the security's liquidity, making it more difficult to sell. Funds investing in lower quality
debt securities are more susceptible to these problems and their value may be more volatile.
Foreign Exchange Risk: Foreign investments may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange control
regulations or changes in the exchange rates. Changes in currency exchange rates may influence the share value,
the dividends or interest earned and the gains and losses realized. Exchange rates between currencies are
determined by supply and demand in the currency exchange markets, the international balance of payments,
governmental intervention, speculation, and other economic and political conditions. If the currency in which a
security is denominated appreciates against the US Dollar, the value of the security will increase. Conversely, a
decline in the exchange rate of the currency would adversely affect the value of the security.
Risks Associated with Investing in Equities: Investments in equities generally refer to buying shares of stocks by
an individual or firm in return for receiving a future payment of dividends and capital gains if the value of the
stock increases. There is an innate risk involved when purchasing a stock that it may decrease in value and the
investment may incur a loss.
Innovative Private Wealth Management Inc.
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement
Page 15
Risks Associated with Fixed Income: When investing in bonds, there is the risk that the issuer will default on the
bond and be unable to make payments. Further, individuals who depend on set amounts of periodically paid
income face the risk that inflation will erode their spending power. Fixed-income investors receive set, regular
payments that face the same inflation risk.
Risks Associated with Investing in Mutual Funds: Mutual funds are professionally managed collective investment
systems that pool money from many investors and invest in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments,
other mutual funds, other securities, or any combination thereof. The fund will have a manager that trades the
fund's investments in accordance with the fund's investment objective. While mutual funds generally provide
diversification, risks can be significantly increased if the fund is concentrated in a particular sector of the market,
primarily invests in small cap or speculative companies, uses leverage (i.e., borrows money) to a significant
degree, or concentrates on a particular type of security (i.e., equities) rather than balancing the fund with
different types of securities. The returns on mutual funds can be reduced by the costs to manage the funds. In
addition, while some mutual funds are “no load” and charge no fee to buy into, or sell out of, other types of
mutual funds do charge such fees which can also reduce returns.
Risks Associated with Investing in Exchange Traded Funds (ETF): Investing in ETFs carries the risk of capital loss
(sometimes up to a 100% loss in the case of a stock holding bankruptcy). Investments in these securities are not
guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. Detailed information about the risks
associated with each ETF is provided in the relevant ETF’s prospectus.
Risks Associated with Investing in Private Funds: Private Funds are not registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and may not be registered with any other regulatory authority. Accordingly, they are not
subject to certain regulatory restrictions and oversight to which other issuers are subject. There may be little
public information available about their investments and performance. Moreover, as sales of shares of private
investment companies are generally restricted to certain qualified purchasers, it could be difficult for a client to
sell its shares of a private investment company at an advantageous price and time. Since shares of private
investment companies are not publicly traded, from time to time it may be difficult to establish a fair value for
the client’s investment in these companies. Private Funds often engage in leveraging and other speculative
investment practices that increases the risk of investment loss. A Private Fund’s performance can be volatile. An
investor could lose all or a substantial portion of his or her investment. There may be no secondary market for
the investor’s interest in the fund. Private Funds can be highly illiquid and there may be restrictions on
transferring interests in the fund. Private Funds are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation
information to investors. Private Funds may have complex tax structures. There may be delays in distributing
important tax information. Private Funds are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds.
Private Funds often charge high fees. The fund's high fees and expenses may offset the fund's trading profits.
Additional information about the risks associated with each Private Fund is available in the funds’ private
placement memorandum, and other subscription documents.
Risks Associated with Investing in Options: Transactions in options carry a high degree of risk. A relatively small
market movement will have a proportionately larger impact, which may work for or against the investor. The
placing of certain orders, which are intended to limit losses to certain amounts, may not be effective because
market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. Selling ("writing" or "granting") an option
generally entails considerably greater risk than purchasing options. Although the premium received by the seller
is fixed, the seller may sustain a loss well in excess of that amount. The seller will also be exposed to the risk of
the purchaser exercising the option and the seller will be obliged either to settle the option in cash or to acquire
or deliver the underlying investment. If the option is "covered" by the seller holding a corresponding position in
the underlying investment or a future on another option, the risk may be reduced.
Risks Associated with Investing in Alternative Investments: We may recommend to qualified clients the use of
alternative investments such as investments in real estate, private equity, or hedge funds. We may also
Innovative Private Wealth Management Inc.
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement
Page 16
recommend a direct investment into a private company. Investments in such “alternative assets” are generally
illiquid, which will impair the ability of the client to exit such investments in times of adversity. Alternative
investments may utilize highly speculative investment techniques, including leverage, highly concentrated
portfolios, senior and/or subordinated securities positions, control positions and illiquid investments. In addition,
they may utilize derivative instruments to attempt to hedge the risks associated with certain of their investments.
Transactions in such derivative instruments may expose the assets of investment funds to the risks of material
financial loss, which may in turn adversely affect the financial results of the client.
Concentrated Position Risk: Certain Associated Persons may recommend that clients concentrate account assets
in an industry or economic sector. In addition to the potential concentration of accounts in one or more sectors,
certain accounts may, or may be advised to, hold concentrated positions in specific securities. Therefore, at times,
an account may, or may be advised to, hold a relatively small number of securities positions, each representing a
relatively large portion of assets in the account. As a result, the account will be subject to greater volatility than a
more sector diversified portfolio. Investments in issuers within an industry or economic sector that experiences
adverse economic, business, political conditions or other concerns will impact the value of such a portfolio more
than if the portfolio’s investments were not so concentrated. A change in the value of a single investment within
the portfolio will affect the overall value of the portfolio and will cause greater losses than it would in a portfolio
that holds more diversified investments.
Preferred Securities Risk: Preferred Securities have similar characteristics to bonds in that preferred securities
are designed to make fixed payments based on a percentage of their par value and are senior to common stock.
Like bonds, the market value of preferred securities is sensitive to changes in interest rates as well as changes in
issuer credit quality. Preferred securities, however, are junior to bonds with regard to the distribution of corporate
earnings and liquidation in the event of bankruptcy. Preferred securities that are in the form of preferred stock
also differ from bonds in that dividends on preferred stock must be declared by the issuer’s board of directors,
whereas interest payments on bonds generally do not require action by the issuer’s board of directors, and
bondholders generally have protections that preferred stockholders do not have, such as indentures that are
designed to guarantee payments – subject to the credit quality of the issuer – with terms and conditions for the
benefit of bondholders. In contrast preferred stocks generally pay dividends, not interest payments, which can
be deferred or stopped in the event of credit stress without triggering bankruptcy or default. Another difference
is that preferred dividends are paid from the issue’s after-tax profits, while bond interest is paid before taxes.
Risks Associated with Investing in Inverse and Leveraged Funds: Leveraged mutual funds and ETFs generally seek
to deliver multiples of the daily performance of the index or benchmark that they track. Inverse mutual funds and
ETFs generally seek to deliver the opposite of the daily performance of the index or benchmark that they track.
Inverse funds often are marketed as a way for investors to profit from, or at least hedge their exposure to,
downward-moving markets. Some Inverse funds are both inverse and leveraged, meaning that they seek a return
that is a multiple of the inverse performance of the underlying index. To accomplish their objectives, leveraged
and inverse funds use a range of investment strategies, including swaps, futures contracts, and other derivative
instruments. Leveraged, inverse, and leveraged inverse funds are more volatile and riskier than traditional funds
due to their exposure to leverage and derivatives, particularly total return swaps and futures. At times, we will
recommend leveraged and/or inversed funds, which may amplify gains and losses.
Most leveraged funds are typically designed to achieve their desired exposure on a daily (in a few cases, monthly)
basis, and reset their leverage daily. A "single day" is measured from the time the leveraged fund calculates its
net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the leveraged fund's next NAV calculation. The return of the leveraged fund
for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day's returns compounded over the period. Due to
the effect of this mathematical compounding, their performance over longer periods of time can differ
significantly from the performance (or inverse performance) of their underlying index or benchmark during the
same period of time. For periods longer than a single day, the leveraged fund will lose money when the level of
the Index is flat, and the leveraged fund may lose money even if the level of the Index rises. Longer holding
Innovative Private Wealth Management Inc.
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement
Page 17
periods, higher index volatility, and greater leverage all exacerbate the impact of compounding on an investor's
returns. During periods of higher Index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the leveraged fund's return
as much as or more than the return of the Index itself. Therefore, holding leveraged, inverse, and leveraged
inverse funds for longer periods of time increases their risk due to the effects of compounding and the inherent
difficulty in market timing. Leveraged funds are riskier than similarly benchmarked funds that do not use leverage.
Non-traditional funds are highly volatile and not suitable for all investors. They provide the potential for significant
losses.
Risks Associated with Investing in Buffer ETFs: Buffer ETFs are also known as defined-outcome ETFs since the ETF
is designed to offer downside protection for a specified period of time. These ETFs are modeled after options-
based structured notes, but are generally cheaper, and offer more liquidity. Buffer ETFs are designed to safeguard
against market downturns by employing complex options strategies. Buffer ETFs typically charge higher
management fees that are considerably more than the index funds whose performance they attempt to track.
Additionally, because buffer funds own options, they do not receive dividends from their equity holdings. Both
factors result in the underperformance of the Buffer ETF compared to the index they attempt to track. Clients
should carefully read the prospectus for a buffer ETF to fully understand the cost structures, risks, and features
of these complex products.
Risks Associated with Investing in Structured Products: Certain structured products enable the investor to
acquire interests in a pool of securities without the brokerage and other expenses associated with individually
holding the same securities, investors in structured products generally pay their share of the structured product’s
administrative and other expenses. Although it is difficult to predict whether the prices of assets underlying
structured products will rise or fall, these prices (and, therefore, the prices of structured products) will be
influenced by the same types of political and economic events that affect issuers of securities and capital markets
generally. If the issuer of a structured product uses shorter-term financing to purchase longer-term securities, the
issuer may be forced to sell its securities at below-market prices if it experiences difficulty in obtaining short-term
financing, which may adversely affect the value of the structured products. Certain structured products may be
thinly traded or have a limited trading market.
Structured Notes: Below are some specific risks related to the structured notes recommended by our firm:
•
Complexity: Structured notes are complex financial instruments. Clients should understand the reference
asset(s) or index(es) and determine how the note’s payoff structure incorporates such reference asset(s)
or index(es) in calculating the note’s performance. This payoff calculation may include leverage
multiplied by the performance of the reference asset or index, protection from losses should the
reference asset or index produce negative returns, and/or fees. Structured notes may have complicated
payoff structures that can make it difficult for clients to accurately assess their value, risk and potential
for growth through the term of the structured note. Determining the performance of each note can be
complex and this calculation can vary significantly from note to note depending on the structure. Notes
can be structured in a wide variety of ways. Payoff structures can be leveraged, inverse, or inverse-
leveraged, which may result in larger returns or losses. Clients should carefully read the prospectus for a
structured note to fully understand how the payoff on a note will be calculated and discuss these issues
with our firm.
• Market risk. Some structured notes provide for the repayment of principal at maturity, which is often
referred to as “principal protection.” This principal protection is subject to the credit risk of the issuing
financial institution. Many structured notes do not offer this feature. For structured notes that do not
offer principal protection, the performance of the linked asset or index may cause clients to lose some,
or all, of their principal. Depending on the nature of the linked asset or index, the market risk of the
structured note may include changes in equity or commodity prices, changes in interest rates or foreign
exchange rates, and/or market volatility.

•
Issuance price and note value: The price of a structured note at issuance will likely be higher than the fair
value of the structured note on the date of issuance. Issuers now generally disclose an estimated value
of the structured note on the cover page of the offering prospectus, allowing investors to gauge the
difference between the issuer’s estimated value of the note and the issuance price. The estimated value
of the notes is likely lower than the issuance price of the note to investors because issuers include the
costs for selling, structuring, and/or hedging the exposure on the note in the initial price of their notes.
After issuance, structured notes may not be re-sold on a daily basis and thus may be difficult to value
given their complexity.
Liquidity: The ability to trade or sell structured notes in a secondary market is often very limited, as
structured notes (other than exchange-traded notes known as ETNs) are not listed for trading on
securities exchanges. As a result, the only potential buyer for a structured note may be the issuing
financial institution’s broker-dealer affiliate or the broker-dealer distributor of the structured note. In
addition, issuers often specifically disclaim their intention to repurchase or make markets in the notes
they issue. Clients should, therefore, be prepared to hold a structured note to its maturity date or risk
selling the note at a discount to its value at the time of sale.
Credit risk: Structured notes are unsecured debt obligations of the issuer, meaning that the issuer is
obligated to make payments on the notes as promised. These promises, including any principal
protection, are only as good as the financial health of the structured note issuer. If the structured note
issuer defaults on these obligations, investors may lose some, or all, of the principal amount they
invested in the structured notes as well as any other payments that may be due on the structured notes.
Cybersecurity Risks: Our firm and our service providers are subject to risks associated with a breach in
cybersecurity. Cybersecurity is a generic term used to describe the technology, processes, and practices designed
to protect networks, systems, computers, programs, and data from cyber-attacks and hacking by other computer
users, and to avoid the resulting damage and disruption of hardware and software systems, loss or corruption of
data, and/or misappropriation of confidential information. In general, cyber-attacks are deliberate; however,
unintentional events may have similar effects. Cyber-attacks may cause losses to clients by interfering with the
processing of transactions, affecting the ability to calculate net asset value, or impeding or sabotaging trading.
Clients may also incur substantial costs as the result of a cybersecurity breach, including those associated with
forensic analysis of the origin and scope of the breach, increased and upgraded cybersecurity, identity theft,
unauthorized use of proprietary information, litigation, and the dissemination of confidential and proprietary
information. Any such breach could expose our firm to civil liability as well as regulatory inquiry and/or action. In
addition, clients could be exposed to additional losses as a result of the unauthorized use of their personal
information. While our firm has established business continuity plans, incident response plans, and systems
designed to prevent cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the
possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Similar types of cyber security risks also are present for
issuers of securities in which we invest, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers and
may cause a client's investment in such securities to lose value.
Pandemic Risk: Large-scale outbreaks of infectious disease can greatly increase morbidity and mortality over a
wide geographic area, crossing international boundaries, and causing significant economic, social, and political
disruption. It is difficult to predict the long-term impact of such events because they are dependent on a variety
of factors including the global response of regulators and governments to address and mitigate the worldwide
effects of such events. Workforce reductions, travel restrictions, governmental responses and policies and
macroeconomic factors will negatively impact investment returns.
Cryptocurrency Risk*: Cryptocurrency (e.g., bitcoin and ether), often referred to as “virtual currency”, “digital
currency,” or “digital assets,” is designed to act as a medium of exchange. Cryptocurrency is an emerging asset
class. There are thousands of cryptocurrencies, the most well-known of which is bitcoin. Certain of the firm’s
clients may have exposure to bitcoin or another cryptocurrency, directly or indirectly through an investment such
as an ETF or other investment vehicles. Cryptocurrency operates without central authority or banks and is not
Innovative Private Wealth Management Inc.
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement
Page 19
backed by any government. Cryptocurrencies may experience very high volatility and related investment vehicles
may be affected by such volatility. As a result of holding cryptocurrency, certain of the firm’s clients may also
trade at a significant premium or discount to NAV. Cryptocurrency is also not legal tender. Federal, state or foreign
governments may restrict the use and exchange of cryptocurrency, and regulation in the U.S. is still developing.
The market price of many cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, has been subject to extreme fluctuations. If
cryptocurrency markets continue to be subject to sharp fluctuations, investors may experience losses if the value
of the client’s investments decline. Similar to fiat currencies (i.e., a currency that is backed by a central bank or a
national, supra-national or quasi-national organization), cryptocurrencies are susceptible to theft, loss and
destruction. Cryptocurrency exchanges and other trading venues on which cryptocurrencies trade are relatively
new and, in most cases, largely unregulated and may therefore be more exposed to fraud and failure than
established, regulated exchanges for securities, derivatives and other currencies. The SEC has issued a public
report stating U.S. federal securities laws require treating some digital assets as securities.
Cryptocurrency exchanges may stop operating or permanently shut down due to fraud, technical glitches, hackers
or malware. Due to relatively recent launches, most cryptocurrencies have a limited trading history, making it
difficult for investors to evaluate investments. Generally, cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible such that
an improper transfer can only be undone by the receiver of the cryptocurrency agreeing to return the
cryptocurrency to the original sender. Digital assets are highly dependent on their developers and there is no
guarantee that development will continue or that developers will not abandon a project with little or no notice.
Third parties may assert intellectual property claims relating to the holding and transfer of digital assets, including
cryptocurrencies, and their source code. Any threatened action that reduces confidence in a network’s long-term
ability to hold and transfer cryptocurrency may affect investments in cryptocurrencies.
Many significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of investments in cryptocurrency are uncertain
and an investment in cryptocurrency may produce income that is not treated as qualifying income for purposes
of the income test applicable to regulated investment companies. Certain cryptocurrency investments may be
treated as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and an investment by the firm’s clients in such a
vehicle will generally be treated as a direct investment in cryptocurrency for tax purposes and “flow-through” to
the underlying investors.
*IPWM does not recommend or invest in cryptocurrencies. This disclosure is provided to assist clients with
understanding some of the risks associated with these types of investments should clients make such investments
on their own accord.
Securities Backed Lines of Credit (SBLOCs): SBLOCs are non-purpose loans where you pledge assets in your
account as collateral in return for a loan. The loan proceeds can be used for purposes other than to purchase or
trade securities. Depending on your objectives, we can help you apply for a SBLOC. This can be a strategic
alternative to liquidating assets to pay for unexpected expenses, a business opportunity, or a personal goal, any
of which could trigger capital gain taxes. While we do not receive a fee for arranging these loans, our assistance
in this process presents a conflict of interest, as we have an incentive for you to maintain these assets in your
account instead of liquidating them, as liquidation could decrease the asset-based fees that we earn for managing
your account. To address this conflict, we only make recommendations to obtain such loans when we believe
obtaining a SBLOC is in the best interests of clients. Clients should note that they retain the ultimate decision to
obtain such loans. The following are some of the primary risks associated with obtaining a SBLOC:
•
•
•
•
Interest rate payments on the principal balance of the loan are not fixed and may increase;
If the value of the securities pledged as collateral decrease, you will be liable for any deficiency;
The lender can force the sale or liquidation of securities held as collateral without contacting you in
advance to meet collateral requirements and you are not entitled to choose which securities are
liquidated or sold;
You are only entitled to draw on the line to the extent there is credit availability; and

•
There may be additional risks when money funds or similar investments may produce less interest
income or other yield than the interest you are paying on the loan.
We urge our clients to carefully read all disclosures and agreements prior to entering into an SBLOC or non-
purpose loan. While we can assist in the application process, we are not involved in the approval process.
Artificial Intelligence ("AI") Risk: We may rely on programs and systems that utilize AI, machine learning,
probabilistic modeling, and other data science technologies ("AI Tools") when delivering our services. AI Tools are
also used to record and transcribe client meetings. Clients should note that AI Tools are highly complex, and are
known to have been flawed, hallucinate, reflect biases included in the data on which such tools are trained, be of
poor quality, or be otherwise harmful. AI Tools present Cybersecurity Risk. The U.S. and global legal and regulatory
environment relating to the use of AI Tools is uncertain and rapidly evolving, and could require changes in the
firm’s implementation of AI Tools and increase compliance costs and the risk of non-compliance. Further, the firm
may rely on AI Tools developed by third parties, and the firm has limited control over the accuracy and
completeness of such AI Tools. Clients who do not want us to record their meetings have the option to opt out at
the time of the meeting.
Disciplinary Information - Item 9

Description of Our Code of Ethics
IPWM has adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) to address investment advisory conduct. The Code focuses
primarily on fiduciary duty, personal securities transactions, insider trading, gifts, and conflicts of interest. The
Code includes IPWM’s policies and procedures developed to protect Client’s interests in relation to the following
topics:
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
The duty at all times to place the interests of Clients first;
The requirement that all personal securities transactions be conducted in such a manner as to be
consistent with the Code;
The responsibility to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or misuse of an employee’s
position of trust and responsibility;
The fiduciary principle that information concerning the identity of security holdings and financial
circumstances of Clients is confidential; and
The principle that independence in the investment decision-making process is paramount.
A copy of IPWM’s Code of Ethics is available upon request to our firm at (914) 427-8036.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
As disclosed under Item 4 and Item 5, we will one or more of the Funds to certain eligible clients. Clients should
note that investors in the Funds are charged a management fee and may be charged a performance fee as
described in Items 5 and 6 above. In cases where the client receives wealth management services from IPWM
and, as part of this service, is advised to invest in the Funds, IPWM will receive a customary portfolio management
services fee and a fund management fee for the portion of assets invested in the Funds. We urge our clients to
carefully review the Funds’ private placement memorandum and subscription agreement for detailed information
about the Funds’ fees and expenses, performance allocation (if any), and other important disclosures.
Our firm does not compensate Associated Persons who recommend investments in our Funds for such
recommendations. However, our Associated Persons will indirectly benefit from IPWM’s management of such
Funds because the added revenue to IPWM will increase the profitability of our firm which in turn increase the
corporate benefits and bonuses that our firm can provide to its Associated Persons. Receipt of additional
economic benefits presents a conflict of interest and gives Associated Persons an incentive to recommend Funds
based on their expectation of indirect additional economic benefits, rather than solely on the client’s needs. We
address this conflict by upholding our fiduciary duty of acting in the client’s best interest and by recommending
funds that we, in good faith, believe are appropriate for the client’s particular needs. Clients are under no
obligation contractually or otherwise, to invest in any of the funds recommended by us.
Personal Trading Practices
At times, IPWM and/or its related persons may take positions in the same securities as Clients, which may pose a
conflict of interest with Clients. In an effort to uphold our fiduciary duties to Clients, IPWM and its related persons
will generally be “last in” and “last out” for the trading day when trading occurs in close proximity to Client trades.

Front running (trading shortly ahead of Clients) is prohibited. Should a conflict occur because of materiality (e.g.,
a thinly traded stock), disclosure will be made to the Client(s) at the time of trading. Incidental trading not deemed
to be a conflict (e.g., a purchase or sale that is minimal in relation to the total outstanding value, and as such
would have negligible effect on the market price) would not be deemed a material conflict requiring disclosure at
the time of trading.
Brokerage Practices - Item 12
We recommend the brokerage and custodial services of several unaffiliated qualified custodians. We believe that
recommended broker-dealers/custodians provide quality execution services for you at competitive prices. Price
is not the sole factor we consider in evaluating best execution. We also consider the quality of the brokerage
services provided by recommended broker-dealers/custodians, including the value of research provided, the
company’s reputation, execution capabilities, commission rates, and responsiveness to our clients and our firm.
In recognition of the value of research services and additional brokerage products and services recommended
broker-dealers/custodians provide, you may pay higher commissions and/or trading costs than those that may be
available elsewhere.
At this time, we primarily recommend the services of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. and Digital Trust.
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
IPWM has an institutional custodial relationship with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), a FINRA-registered
broker-dealer, member SIPC. Schwab Advisor Services (formerly called Schwab Institutional) is Schwab’s business
serving independent investment advisory firms like us. We are independently owned and operated and not
affiliated with Schwab. Schwab will hold your assets in a brokerage account and will buy and sell securities in your
account(s) upon our instructions. While we recommend that you use Schwab as custodian/broker, you will decide
whether to do so and you will open your account with Schwab by entering into an account agreement directly
with them. We do not open the account for you.
Schwab generally does not charge you separately for custody services, but is compensated by charging
commissions or other fees on trades that it executes or that settle into your Schwab account. In addition to
commissions, Schwab charges a flat dollar amount as a “prime broker” or “trade away” fee for each trade that
we have executed by a different broker-dealer but where the securities bought or the funds from the securities
sold are deposited (settled) into your Schwab account. Clients who have opened a Wrap Program account do not
pay any separate fees to Schwab because IPWM’s fee is inclusive of all fees paid to Schwab.
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits Received from Schwab
Although not considered “soft dollar” compensation, IPWM may receive some economic benefits from Schwab
Advisor Services in the form of access to its institutional brokerage, trading, custody, reporting and related
services, many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes available
various support services. Some of those services help us manage or administer our Clients’ accounts while others
help us manage and grow our business. Schwab’s support services are generally available on an unsolicited basis
(we don’t have to request them) and at no charge to us. Below is a detailed description of Schwab’s support
services:
Services that Benefit You: Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment
products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client assets. The investment products available
through Schwab include some to which we might not otherwise have access or that would require a significantly
higher minimum initial investment by our Clients. Schwab’s services described in this paragraph generally benefit
you and your account.
Innovative Private Wealth Management Inc.

Page 23
Services that May Not Directly Benefit You: Schwab also makes available to us other products and services that
benefit us but may not directly benefit you or your account. These products and services assist us in managing
and administering our Clients’ accounts. They include investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of third
parties. We may use this research to service all or some substantial number of our Clients’ accounts, including
accounts not maintained at Schwab. In addition to investment research, Schwab also makes available software
and other technology that:
•
•
•
•
•
provide access to Client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account statements);
facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple Client accounts;
provide pricing and other market data;
facilitate payment of our fees from our Clients’ accounts; and
assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and Client reporting.
Services that Generally Benefit Only Us: Schwab also offers other services intended to help us manage and further
develop our business enterprise. These services include:
•
•
•
•
educational conferences and events;
technology, compliance, legal, and business consulting;
publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; and
access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers.
Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party vendors to provide
the services to us. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for some of these services or pay all or a part of a
third party’s fees. Schwab may also provide us with other benefits such as occasional business entertainment of
our personnel.
Digital Trust
We recommend Digital Trust as custodian of record, primarily for self-directed individual retirement accounts and
solo 401(k)s. Digital Trust provides our Clients with access to a broad range of alternative investment products
such as promissory notes, precious metals, real estate and private equity investments, along with traditional asset
classes such as equities, bonds, mutuals funds and ETFs. While IPWM may receive access to certain benefits
through our recommendation of Digital Trust, we do not receive soft dollars. Digital Trust provides us products
and services that benefit us but may not directly benefit you or your account. These products and services assist
us in managing and administering our clients’ accounts. They include limited scope investment research. We may
use this research to service all or some substantial number of our clients’ accounts, including accounts not
maintained at Digital Trust. In addition to investment research, Digital Trust also makes available software and
other technology that:
•
•
•
•
•
provide access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account statements);
facilitate trade execution;
provide pricing and other market data;
facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts; and
assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting.
IPWM understands its duty for best execution and considers all factors in making recommendations to Clients.
These research services may be useful in servicing all IPWM Clients and may not be used in connection with any
particular account that may have paid compensation to the firm providing such services. While IPWM may not
always obtain the lowest commission rate, IPWM believes the rate is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided.

Brokerage for Client Referrals
We do not receive Client referrals from broker-dealers and custodians with which we have an institutional
advisory arrangement. Also, we do not receive other benefits from a broker-dealer in exchange for Client
referrals.
Directed Brokerage
The Client may direct brokerage to a specified broker-dealer other than the firm recommended by IPWM. In the
event that a client directs IPWM to use a particular broker-dealer, the firm may not be authorized under these
circumstances to negotiate commissions and may not be able to obtain volume discounts or best execution. In
addition, under these circumstances a disparity in commission charges may exist between the commissions
charged to Clients who direct the firm to use a particular broker-dealer and those who do not.
Trade Aggregation/Block Trading
IPWM may aggregate transactions in equity and fixed income securities for a Client with other Clients to improve
the quality and cost of execution. Transactions will be aggregated only for accounts held at the same broker
dealer/custodian, using such broker dealer’s trading platform. When transactions are aggregated, the actual
prices applicable to the aggregated transactions will be averaged, and the Client account will be deemed to have
purchased or sold its proportionate share of the securities involved at the average price obtained. IPWM may
determine not to aggregate transactions, for example, based on the size of the trades, the number of Client
accounts, the timing of the trades, and the liquidity of the securities. If the firm does not aggregate orders, some
Clients purchasing securities around the same time may receive a less favorable price than other Clients. This
means that this practice of not aggregating may cost Clients more money. IPWM and/or its Associated Persons
may participate in block trades with Clients; however, IPWM and/or its Associated Persons will not participate on
a pro rata basis for partial fills.
Review of Accounts - Item 13
Account Reviews
IPWM monitors account holdings and portfolio performance on a continuous basis. IPWM offers wealth
management clients an in-person portfolio review meeting on an annual basis. This meeting maybe conducted
virtually. Additional reviews may be offered in certain circumstances. Triggering factors that may stimulate
additional reviews include, but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions, changes in the Client’s financial
situation or investment objectives, or upon Client request. Reviews are conducted by the Associated Person
assigned to the client relationship
A financial plan is a snapshot in time and no ongoing reviews are conducted. We recommend clients engage us
on an annual basis to update the financial plan.
Clients will receive statements directly from their account custodian(s) on at least a quarterly basis.
Client Referrals and Other Compensation - Item 14
IPWM has brokerage and clearing arrangements with Schwab and Digital Trust. As described in Item 12 above,
we receive economic benefits from our custodial broker dealer in the form of support products and services they
make available to us and other independent investment advisors whose clients maintain their accounts at these
custodial broker dealers. The availability of custodial products and services is not dependent upon or based on
Innovative Private Wealth Management Inc.
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement
Page 25
the specific investment advice we provide our clients, such as buying or selling specific securities or specific types
of securities for our clients. The products and services provided by the custodial broker dealer, how they benefit
us, and the related conflicts of interest are described above (see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices).
Occasionally, our firm and our Associated Persons will receive additional compensation from vendors.
Compensation could include such items as gifts; an occasional dinner or ticket to a sporting event; reimbursement
in connection with educational meetings with an Associated Person, reimbursement for consulting services, client
workshops, or events; or marketing events or advertising initiatives, including services for identifying prospective
clients. Receipt of additional economic benefits presents a conflict of interest because our firm and Associated
Persons have an incentive to recommend and use vendors based on the additional economic benefits obtained
rather than solely on the client’s needs. We address this conflict of interest by recommending vendors that we,
in good faith, believe are appropriate for the client’s particular needs. Clients are under no obligation
contractually or otherwise, to use any of the vendors recommended by us.
Non-employee (outside) consultants, individuals, and/or entities, who refer prospective clients to IPWM may
receive compensation from the firm. Such arrangements will comply with the requirements of the relevant
jurisdictions, including the requirement that the compensation arrangement is disclosed to the prospective client
at the time of the referral. Referral compensation will only be paid in jurisdictions in which the relevant parties
are registered or exempt from registration requirements. Under these arrangements, clients will not pay
additional fees because of this referral arrangement.
As disclosed under Item 4 and Item 5, we will recommend tax efficient private investment funds (the “TEFs”) to
certain eligible clients. In some instances, we will also serve as the investment manager to the managed accounts
within the recommended TEF, and we will receive a management fee in that separate capacity. Please refer to
Items 4 and 5 for more information.
As disclosed under Item 4 and Item 5, we recommend investments in one or more of the Funds to certain eligible
clients. We also serve as the manager and investment adviser to the Funds, and we will receive a management
fee in that separate capacity. Please refer to Items 4 and 5 for more information. Our firm does not compensate
Associated Persons who recommend investments in our Funds for such recommendations. However, our
Associated Persons will indirectly benefit from IPWM’s management of such Funds because the added revenue
to IPWM will increase the profitability of our firm which in turn increase the corporate benefits and bonuses that
our firm can provide to its Associated Persons. Receipt of additional economic benefits presents a conflict of
interest and gives Associated Persons an incentive to recommend Funds based on their expectation of indirect
additional economic benefits, rather than solely on the client’s needs. We address this conflict by upholding our
fiduciary duty of acting in the client’s best interest and by recommending funds that we, in good faith, believe are
appropriate for the client’s particular needs. Clients are under no obligation contractually or otherwise, to invest
in any of the funds recommended by us.
Custody - Item 15
Where we directly debit your account(s) for the payment of our advisory fees, IPWM is deemed to exercise
custody over your funds or securities. We do not have physical custody of any of your funds and/or securities.
Your funds and securities will be held with a bank, broker-dealer, or other independent, qualified custodian. You
will receive account statements from the independent, qualified custodian(s) holding your funds and securities at
least quarterly. The account statements from your custodian(s) will indicate the amount of our advisory fees
deducted from your account(s) each billing period. The custodian holding Client assets will not verify the
calculation of the advisory fees. You should carefully review account statements for accuracy. If you have

questions regarding your account or if you did not receive a statement from your custodian, please contact our
firm at (914) 427-8036.
Arrangements with Affiliated Entities
IPWM serves as the manager and investment adviser the Funds. These arrangements cause our firm to have legal
access to the pooled assets of the Funds, which imputes custody of the pooled assets to our firm. Consequently,
our firm is required to be compliant with the SEC’s custody rule. The assets of the Fund will be audited annually
by an independent accountant, and each investor in each Fund will be provided with independently audited
annual financial statements. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding this arrangement.
Investment Discretion - Item 16
IPWM offers Portfolio Management Services on a discretionary basis only. Clients must grant discretionary
authority in the management agreement. Discretionary authority extends to the types and amounts of securities
to be bought and sold in Client accounts. This discretionary authority will also provide our firm with authorization
to delegate discretionary investment management services to other unaffiliated Sub-Advisors selected by our
firm based on your investment objectives and portfolio strategy. Apart from the ability to withdraw management
fees, IPWM does not have the ability to withdraw funds or securities from the Client’s account. The Client provides
IPWM discretionary authority via a limited power of attorney in the management agreement and in the contract
between the Client and the custodian.
If you wish, you may limit our discretionary authority, for example, by setting a limit on the type of securities that
can be purchased for your account. Simply provide us with your restrictions or guidelines in writing. Please refer
to the “Advisory Business” section in this Brochure for more information on our discretionary management
services.
If you enter into non-discretionary arrangements with our firm, we will obtain your approval prior to the
execution of any transactions for your account(s). You have an unrestricted right to decline to implement any
advice provided by our firm on a non-discretionary basis.
13Voting Client Securities - Item 17
IPWM does not vote proxies. It is the Client's responsibility to vote proxies. Clients will receive proxy materials
directly from the custodian. Questions about proxies may be made via the contact information on the cover page
of this Brochure.
Financial Information - Item 18
In this section, we are required to provide you with certain financial information or disclosures about IPWM’s,
financial condition. IPWM does not require the prepayment of over $1,200, six or more months in advance.
Additionally, IPWM has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary
commitments to Clients, and it has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
