Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Integrated Wealth Concepts LLC (also d/b/a Integrated Financial Partners, Integrated Partners and herein
“Integrated” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”). Integrated is organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Integrated was founded in July 2016 and is owned and operated by Paul
Saganey (equity holder).
Our firm offers services through our network of investment advisor representatives (“Advisory Persons”,
“Financial Advisors”). Financial Advisors may have their own legal business entities whose trade names and
logos are used for marketing purposes and may appear on marketing materials or client statements. These
business names have been adopted by Integrated as d/b/a names under which we provide advisory services.
The Client should understand that the businesses are legal entities of the Financial Advisor and not of Integrated.
The Financial Advisors are under the supervision of our firm, and the advisory services of the Financial Advisor
are provided through Integrated. Integrated provides notice of all of its d/b/a names online at the SEC’s
Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with our firm name or our
CRD# 284656. When using d/b/a names, Integrated may not always provide reference to the legal name of the
company, Integrated Wealth Concepts. Regardless, when used to refer to the company, the use of a d/b/a name
is intended as a pseudonym for our legal company name of Integrated Wealth Concepts. This Disclosure
Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services
provided by Integrated.
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary, the
Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. Our fiduciary commitment is further described in our Code of Ethics. For more information
regarding our Code of Ethics, please see “Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading.”
B. Advisory Services Offered
Integrated offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, families, trusts, estates,
businesses and retirement plans (each referred to as a “Client”). These services generally fall into four categories
– Investment Management Services, Financial Planning and Consulting Services, Family Office Services and
Retirement Plan Advisory Services.
Investment Management Services
Integrated provides customized wealth management solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous
personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and related
advisory services. Integrated works with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as
risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create an investment strategy. Integrated will implement the
investment strategy with its internal management and/or the use of unaffiliated money managers or investment
platforms (as described below).
Integrated’s services are provided through independent financial advisors. This is distinguished from some other
registered investment advisors that mandate that clients invest only in company-sponsored investment programs.
Integrated believes strongly in the flexibility it provides to its independent financial advisors. To the extent that
independent financial advisors employ Integrated-sponsored investment programs in client accounts, it is
because the independent financial advisor deems the investment program to be suitable for the client and not
because of any requirement to do so from Integrated.
Integrated provides investment advisory services and portfolio management services. It does not provide
securities custodial services. At no time will Integrated accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or
securities, except for authorized deduction of the Advisor’s fees or as a result of a client’s implementation of a

http://www.integrated-partners.com
standing letter of authorization. All Client assets will be managed within their designated account[s] at the
Custodian, pursuant to the Client investment advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Below is a description of the various investment management services provided by the Advisor.
Internal Investment Management
Integrated customizes its investment management services for its Clients. Portfolios are primarily constructed
using mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), individual stocks and fixed income securities. The Advisor
may also utilize other types of investments, as appropriate, to meet the needs of each particular Client.
Integrated generally employs a long-term investment approach for Clients, but may buy, sell or re-allocate
positions that have been held less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions.
Integrated will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives,
circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place
reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance
by the Advisor.
The specific advisory program selected by the Client will cost the client more or less than purchasing program
services separately. Factors that bear upon the cost of a particular advisory program in relation to the cost of the
same services purchased separately include, but may not be limited to, the type and size of the account, the
historical or expected size or number of trades for the account, the types of securities and strategies involved,
and the number and range of supplementary advisory and client-related services provided to the account.
Integrated may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio.
Integrated may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may
recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement. Integrated may
recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses,
business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the
position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk
deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
The following paragraphs contain important conflicts of interest to consider. With respect to certain types of
accounts, Clients do not pay any transaction charges. Clients should be aware that Integrated is responsible for
transaction charges to its custodians for those accounts. The transaction charges paid by Integrated vary based
on the type of transaction (e.g., mutual fund, equity or ETF) and for mutual funds based potentially on whether or
not the mutual fund pays 12b-1fees (fees paid by the mutual fund to distributors of the funds to cover the cost of
distribution and/or shareholder services) and/or recordkeeping fees to the custodian. While Integrated does not
participate in these fees, clients should understand that the transaction charges to be incurred by Integrated may
be a factor that Integrated considers when deciding which securities to select and how frequently to place
transactions in these accounts.
Solicitor Based Third Party Asset Manager Programs
For approriate clients, Integrated recommends that all or a portion of a Client’s portfolio be implemented by
utilizing one or more unaffiliated money managers or investment platforms (herein the “Third Party Asset
Managers” or “TPAMs”). The Client will be required to enter into one or more separate agreements with the
TPAM[s] that provide for discretionary management by the TPAM of the investment platform.
Integrated serves as both a solicitor of accounts to the TPAM and as the Client’s primary advisor and relationship
manager and will oversee the account to ensure the TPAM is managing consistent with the selected investment
strategy or strategies. However, the TPAM will assume discretionary authority for the day-to-day investment
management of those assets placed in their control. Integrated will assist and advise the Client in establishing
investment objectives for their account, the selection of the TPAM, and defining any restrictions on the account.
TPAM services generally begin with the financial advisor obtaining the necessary financial data from the Client to
assist with setting an appropriate investment objective, determining the suitability of the program and in opening
an account with the TPAM. Depending on the program, the financial advisor may also assist the client with

Phone: (781) 890-3045 * Fax: (781) 890-5624
http://www.integrated-partners.com
selecting a model portfolio of securities designed and managed by either the TPAM or a selected portfolio
management firm available through the TPAM responsible for providing discretionary asset management
services. The TPAM or other third-party investment advisor is granted authority in its client agreement to
purchase and sell securities on a discretionary basis pursuant to investment objective chosen by the Client. In
doing so, the TPAM or other third-party investment advisor typically constructs various model investment
portfolios that are managed according to specific investment strategies associated with the respective models,
and that are not generally customized for individual Clients (subject to the client’s ability to request reasonable
investment restrictions on investing in securities or other special accommodations that may be made). In addition
to portfolio management services, the TPAM sponsor will also generally arrange for custody of client assets,
trade execution, cashiering services, and such other services as outlined in their separate client agreement and
Brochure.
Prior to entering into an agreement with a TPAM, the Client will be provided with each TPAM’s Form ADV
Part 2 - Disclosure Brochure, Form CRS as well as a disclosure statement that defines the relationship between
Integrated and the TPAM. Integrated does not receive any compensation from these TPAMs or Investment
Platforms, other than Integrated’s investment advisory fee (described in “Item 5 – Fees and Compensation”)
which is set forth in the Client’s investment monitoring agreement with Integrated.
Sub-Adviser Based Third Party Asset Management Programs
Integrated can enter into sub-advisory relationships in which it contracts with a TPAM to provide investment
management services to a client account. In these cases, Integrated and the Sub-Adviser are jointly responsible
for the ongoing management of the account. Your Advisor is responsible for assisting you with completing the
investor profile questionnaire or any account opening documentation. While each TPAM may have a different
name for their questionnaire, your responses will assist your Advisor with understanding your investment
objectives, financial situation, risk tolerance, investment time horizon and other personal information. Based on
the answers that you provide to your Advisor, he or she will assist you in determining which TPAM model or
portfolio strategy is appropriate for you. As part of establishing a new account, you will receive both our
disclosure brochure as well as the TPAM’s disclosure brochure.
Since each TPAM is uniquely structured with different investment products, please ensure that you carefully
review all documents provided to you on behalf of the TPAM. These include, but are not limited to:
• The TPAM’s Form ADV Part 2 or Disclosure Brochure for specific program descriptions.
• The TPAM’s Client Agreement as well as any other agreement entered into regarding a TPMM Program,
for specific contractual terms (including fees, billing methods, administrative and other fees, etc.).
• Any additional disclosure or offering documents provided by the TPAM in connection with investment
products.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
Integrated provides a variety of financial planning and consulting services to individuals and families, pursuant to
a written financial planning and consulting agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial
situation, depending on their goals, objectives and financial situation. Financial planning is a separate service
from the Advisor’s investment management services. Clients have full discretion as to how they choose to
implement the recommendations discussed in the financial plan.
Financial planning and consulting services will usually include general recommendations for a course of activity
or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example, recommendations may be made that the Client start or
revise their investment programs, commence or alter retirement savings, establish education savings and/or
charitable giving programs. Integrated may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialist as
appropriate for their unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a
written summary of Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc
engagements, the Advisor may not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed
within six months of contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.

Family Office Services
Integrated offers family office services to high-net worth and business owner clients. The services are tailored to
the needs and complexities of the client pursuant to a written agreement. These services may include:
• Financial Planning Services;
• Business Planning;
• Wealth Management and Reporting;
• Legacy Planning;
• Lifestyle Management;
• Philanthropy; and
• Governance.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Integrated provides plan advisory services to company retirement plans (each a “Plan”) and the sponsor of the
Plan (herein the “Plan Sponsor”). Services are tailored to the size and complexity of the Plan and the needs of
the Plan Sponsor and/or the participants in the Plan (each a “Plan Participant”), pursuant to the terms of the
retirement plan advisory agreement. These services may include:
Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
Investment Management Services (Discretionary or Non-discretionary)
• Participant Enrollment and Education Tracking
•
•
• Performance Reporting
• Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
• ERISA 404(c) Assistance
• Vendor Analysis and Benchmarking
Integrated may provide retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the Plan and Plan Sponsor on either a
non-discretionary (under ERISA Section 3(21)) or a discretionary basis (under ERISA Section 3(38)). Further, the
Advisor may also be engaged to provide investment management for the accounts of the Plan Participants.
Client Role and Obligations Relative to Integrated’s Advisory Services
Integrated relies on forthright communication from its clients in order to provide them with investment services.
It is imperative that clients be direct, honest and fulsome with their investment criteria, investment knowledge,
holdings, goals, time horizon and other important factors. Clients are obliged to report changes in their financial
situation, including the factors enumerated above, as soon as possible.
Important Disclosures Relating to Our Services
Limitations of Financial Planning and Non-Investment Consulting/Implementation Services
To the extent requested by a client, Integrated may provide financial planning and related consulting services
regarding non-investment related matters, such as estate planning, tax planning, insurance, etc. Integrated
does not serve as a law firm, accounting firm, or insurance agency, and no portion of Integrated’s services
should be construed as legal, accounting, or insurance implementation services. Accordingly, Integrated does
not prepare estate planning documents, tax returns or sell insurance products.
To the extent requested by a client, Integrated may recommend the services of other professionals for certain
non-investment implementation purposes (i.e. attorneys, accountants, insurance agents, etc.). Clients are
reminded that they are under no obligation to engage the services of any such recommended professional. The
client retains absolute discretion over all such implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject any
recommendation made by Integrated or its representatives.

If the client engages any unaffiliated recommended professional, and a dispute arises thereafter relative to such
engagement, the client agrees to seek recourse exclusively from and against the engaged professional. At all
times, the engaged licensed professional[s] (i.e. attorney, accountant, insurance agent, etc.), and not

the client’s age, result
in adverse
tax consequences).
A client or prospective client leaving an employer typically has four options regarding an existing retirement plan
(and may engage in a combination of these options): (i) leave the money in the former employer’s plan, if
permitted, (ii) roll over the assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, (iii)
roll over to an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”), or (iv) cash out the account value (which could, depending
upon
Integrated does not provide rollover
recommendations, however, upon client request, Integrated may provide education materials intended to assist
a client determine whether they should engage in a rollover or not. No client is under any obligation to roll over
retirement plan assets to an account managed by Integrated.
Unaffiliated Private Investment Funds
Integrated also provides investment advice regarding private investment funds. Integrated, on a non-
discretionary basis, may recommend that certain qualified clients consider an investment in private investment
funds, the description of which (the terms, conditions, risks, conflicts and fees, including incentive
compensation) is set forth in the fund’s offering documents. Integrated’s role relative to unaffiliated private
investment funds shall be limited to its initial and ongoing due diligence and investment monitoring services. If a
client determines to become an unaffiliated private fund investor, the amount of assets invested in the fund(s)
shall be included as part of “assets under management” for purposes of Integrated calculating its investment
advisory fee. Integrated’s fee shall be in addition to the fund’s fees. Integrated’s clients are under absolutely no
obligation to consider or make an investment in any private investment fund(s).
Private investment funds generally involve various risk factors, including, but not limited to, potential for
complete loss of principal, liquidity constraints and lack of transparency, a complete discussion of which is set
forth in each fund’s offering documents, which will be provided to each client for review and consideration.
Unlike liquid investments that a client may own, private investment funds do not provide daily liquidity or pricing.
Each prospective client investor will be required to complete a Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which the
client shall establish that the client is qualified for investment in the fund, and acknowledges and accepts the
various risk factors that are associated with such an investment.
In the event that Integrated references private investment funds owned by the client on any supplemental
account reports prepared by Integrated, the value(s) for all private investment funds owned by the client shall
reflect the most recent valuation provided by the fund sponsor. However, if subsequent to purchase, the fund
has not provided an updated valuation, the valuation shall reflect the initial purchase price. If subsequent to
purchase, the fund provides an updated valuation, then the statement will reflect that updated value. The
updated value will continue to be reflected on the report until the fund provides a further updated value.
As result of the valuation process, if the valuation reflects initial purchase price or an updated value subsequent
to purchase price, the current value(s) of an investor’s fund holding(s) could be significantly more or less than
the value reflected on the report. Unless otherwise indicated, Integrated shall calculate its fee based upon the
latest value provided by the fund sponsor.
Socially Responsible Investing Limitations
Socially Responsible Investing involves the incorporation of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”)
considerations into the investment due diligence process. Integrated does not maintain or advocate an ESG
investment strategy but will seek to employ ESG if directed by a client to do so. If implemented, Integrated shall
rely upon the assessments undertaken by the unaffiliated mutual fund, exchange traded fund or separate
account portfolio manager to determine that the fund’s or portfolio’s underlying company securities meet a
socially responsible mandate.

Integrated Partners
200 5th Avenue, 4th Floor, Waltham, MA 02451
Phone: (781) 890-3045 * Fax: (781) 890-5624
http://www.integrated-partners.com
ESG investing incorporates a set of criteria/factors used in evaluating potential investments: Environmental
(i.e., considers how a company safeguards the environment); Social (i.e., the manner in which a company
manages relationships with its employees, customers, and the communities in which it operates); and
Governance (i.e., company management considerations). The number of companies that meet an acceptable
ESG mandate can be limited when compared to those that do not and could underperform broad market
indices.
Investors must accept these limitations, including potential for underperformance. Correspondingly, the number
of ESG mutual funds and exchange-traded funds are limited when compared to those that do not maintain such
a mandate. As with any type of investment (including any investment and/or investment strategies
recommended and/or undertaken by Integrated), there can be no assurance that investment in ESG securities
or funds will be profitable or prove successful.
Cash Positions
Integrated continues to treat cash as an asset class. As such, unless determined to the contrary by Integrated,
all cash positions (money markets, etc.) shall continue to be included as part of assets under management for
purposes of calculating Integrated’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), Integrated may maintain cash positions for defensive purposes. In addition, while assets are
maintained in cash, such amounts could miss market advances. Depending upon current yields, at any point in
time, Integrated’s advisory fee could exceed the interest paid by the client’s money market fund.
Cash Sweep Accounts
Certain account custodians can require that cash proceeds from account transactions or new deposits, be
swept to and/or initially maintained in a specific custodian designated sweep account. The yield on the sweep
account will generally be lower than those available for other money market accounts. When this occurs, to help
mitigate the corresponding yield dispersion Integrated shall (usually within 30 days thereafter) generally (with
exceptions) purchase a higher yielding money market fund (or other type security) available on the
custodian’s platform, unless Integrated reasonably anticipates that it will utilize the cash proceeds during the
subsequent 30-day period to purchase additional investments for the client’s account. Exceptions and/or
modifications can and will occur with respect to all or a portion of the cash balances for various reasons,
including, but not limited to the amount of dispersion between the sweep account and a money market fund, the
size of the cash balance, an indication from the client of an imminent need for such cash, or the client has a
demonstrated history of writing checks from the account.
The above does not apply to the cash component maintained within an Integrated actively managed investment
strategy (the cash balances for which shall generally remain in the custodian designated cash sweep account),
an indication from the client of a need for access to such cash, assets allocated to an unaffiliated investment
manager and cash balances maintained for fee billing purposes.
The client shall remain exclusively responsible for yield dispersion/cash balance decisions and corresponding
transactions for cash balances maintained in any Integrated unmanaged accounts.
Portfolio Activity
Integrated has a fiduciary duty to provide services consistent with the client’s best interest. As part of its
investment advisory services, Integrated 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, and/or a change in the client’s investment objective.
Based upon these factors, there may be extended periods of time when Integrated determines that changes to
a client’s portfolio are neither necessary nor prudent. Clients nonetheless remain subject to the fees described
in Item 5 below during periods of account inactivity.

http://www.integrated-partners.com
Client Obligations
In performing its services, Integrated shall not be required to verify any information received from the client or
from the client’s other designated professionals, and is expressly authorized to rely thereon. Moreover, each
client is advised that it remains their responsibility to promptly notify Integrated if there is ever any change in
their financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating or revising Integrated’s
previous recommendations and/or services.
Cybersecurity Risk
The information technology systems and networks that Integrated and its third-party service providers use to
provide services to Integrated’s clients employ various controls that are designed to prevent cybersecurity incidents
stemming from intentional or unintentional actions that could cause significant interruptions in Integrated’s
operations and/or result in the unauthorized acquisition or use of clients’ confidential or non-public personal
information.
In accordance with Regulation S-P, Integrated is committed to protecting the privacy and security of its clients' non-
public personal information by implementing appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards.
Integrated has established processes to mitigate the risks of cybersecurity incidents, including the requirement to
restrict access to such sensitive data and to monitor its systems for potential breaches. Clients and Integrated are
nonetheless subject to the risk of cybersecurity incidents that could ultimately cause them to incur financial losses
and/or other adverse consequences.
Although Integrated has established processes to reduce the risk of cybersecurity incidents, there is no
guarantee that these efforts will always be successful, especially considering that Integrated does not control
the cybersecurity measures and policies employed by third-party service providers, issuers of securities, broker-
dealers, qualified custodians, governmental and other regulatory authorities, exchanges, and other financial
market operators and providers. In compliance with Regulation S-P, Integrated will notify clients in the event of
a data breach involving their non-public personal information as required by applicable state and federal laws.
Disclosure Statement
Copies of Integrated’s written Brochure and Client Relationship Summary as set forth on Part 2 of Form ADV
and Form CRS, respectively, shall be provided to each client prior to, or contemporaneously with, the execution
of the client service agreement.
C. Tailored Relationships
Integrated makes available, through its financial advisors, advisory services to meet most individual Client needs
and objectives. It is the role of the financial advisor to meet with Clients and determine which option(s) are most
suitable in assisting the Clients with meeting their investment needs. Certain programs available through
Integrated may be utilized by multiple Clients that have similar time horizons, needs and objectives. Integrated
offers Clients the ability to place restrictions on their advisory account(s). In general, the restrictions may include
security type, specific securities, and cash balance requirement. Under certain situations a restriction may
prevent Integrated from providing investment choices to meet a client’s needs. In the event a restriction does
impair Integrated’s ability to manage a portfolio effectively the client engagement may be terminated under the
terms of the contract.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
For some Clients, Integrated may include the securities transaction fees together with investment advisory fees
to provide the Client with a single, bundled fee structure. This combination of fees is typically referred to as a
“Wrap Fee Program.” Integrated sponsors and is the investment manager of a wrap fee program called the
Integrated Models. Additionally, Integrated is a sponsor of wrap fee programs developed and sponsored by its
Custodians. Integrated’s Wrap Fee Program Brochure is included as Appendix 1 to this Disclosure Brochure

solely to discuss the fees and potential conflicts associated with a bundled fee, the Integrated Models and the
custodial wrap fee programs.
Participation in a wrap program can cost the client more or less than purchasing such services separately. The
terms and conditions of a wrap program engagement are more fully discussed in the Wrap Fee Program
Brochure. Because wrap program transaction fees and/or commissions are paid by Integrated to the account
custodian, Integrated has an economic incentive to maximize its compensation by seeking to minimize the
number of transaction fee trades in a client's wrap fee account.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, Integrated managed approximately $15,176,000,000 in assets, all of which are
advised on a discretionary basis. Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the
Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client shall sign one or more agreements that detail the responsibilities of Integrated and the Client.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Investment Advisory Services
Asset based investment advisory fees are paid in advance or arrears, typically on a quarterly basis. Whether the
fees are paid in advance or arrears depends on the agreement between the client and the advisor, subject to the
Custodian’s limitations and/or the terms of the investment advisory agreement. Asset based investment advisory
fees are charged at an annual rate ranging from 0.15% to 2.25% depending on several factors, including the overall
the size of the relationship, the inclusion/exclusion of transaction fees and/or the complexity of the services to be
provided. Fees are typically based on the fair market value of portfolio assets under management in the
Account[s] through the calculation period (average daily balance) or upon the end of the calculation period (end
of period balance), but may at times be offered as a fixed quarterly fee.
The fee is negotiated between the client and the advisor. Integrated does not maintain a static fee schedule –
meaning that all advisory fees are customized to the individual needs of the client and the advisor. Some of
Integrated’s advisors may adhere to a static fee schedule for their own clients within the Company’s stated asset
based advisory fee range. The asset-based investment advisory fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from
the inception date of the Client’s account[s] to the end of the first quarter. The Client’s fees will take into
consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed
by Integrated will be independently valued by the Custodian (as discussed in Item 12). Integrated will not have the
authority or responsibility to value portfolio securities.
Fee Differentials
As discussed above, Integrated’s advisors may price the advisory services they provide based upon various
objective and subjective factors. As a result, clients could pay diverse fees based upon the type, amount and
market value of their assets, the anticipated complexity of the engagement, the anticipated level and scope of the
overall investment advisory and consulting services to be rendered. Additional factors effecting pricing can include
related accounts, employee accounts, competition, and negotiations.
As a result of these objective and subjective factors, similarly situated clients could pay diverse fees, and the
services to be provided by Integrated to any particular client could be available from other advisers at lower fees.
All clients and prospective clients should be guided accordingly.
Clients may make additions to and withdrawals from their accounts at any time, subject to Integrated’s right to
terminate an account. Additions may be in cash or securities provided that Integrated reserves the right to liquidate
any transferred securities or decline to accept particular securities into a Client’s accounts. Clients may withdraw

Phone: (781) 890-3045 * Fax: (781) 890-5624
http://www.integrated-partners.com
account assets on notice to Integrated, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures.
However, Integrated designs its portfolios as long-term investments and the withdrawal of assets may impair the
achievement of a Client’s investment objectives. Integrated may consult with its Clients about the options and
ramifications of transferring securities. However, Clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated,
they are subject to transaction fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (i.e., contingent deferred sales charge)
and/or tax ramifications.
Unless engaged on a wrap fee basis, Integrated’s fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions and transaction
fees. Whether engaged on a wrap fee or non-wrap fee basis, Integrated’s fees are exclusive of markups,
markdowns, and other related costs and expenses which shall be incurred by the client. Clients will incur certain
charges imposed by custodians, brokers, and other third parties such as fees charged by managers, custodial
fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other
fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also
charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. Such charges, fees and
commissions are exclusive of and in addition to Integrated’s fees. Integrated does not receive any part of these
fees.
Third Party Asset Manager Services
For Client accounts implemented through a TPAM, the Client’s overall fees will often include Integrated’s asset-
based investment advisory fee (as noted above) plus advisory fees and/or platform fees charged by the TPAM, as
applicable. The TPAM assumes responsibility for calculating the Client’s fees and deducts all fees from the Client’s
accounts. In such instances, Integrated will not charge its fee separately on those assets. The TPAM will deduct its
advisory fees and/or platform fees and Integrated’s asset-based investment advisory fee on an arrears or advance
basis, depending on the billing practices of the TPAM.
There are other fees and charges imposed by third parties that apply to investments in accounts managed by a
TPAM. Some of these fees and charges are described below and should be outlined in the TPAM’s Brochure.
The client will be charged commissions, markups, markdowns, or transaction charges by the broker-dealer who
executes transactions in the account. There also are custodial related fees imposed by the custodian of assets
for the program account. These additional fees and charges will be set out in the TPAM’s Brochure and the
agreements executed by the client at the time the account is opened.
There are other fees and charges imposed by third parties that apply to investments in TPAM-managed
accounts. Some of these fees and charges are described below and should be outlined in the TPAM’s Brochure.
The client will be charged commissions, markups, markdowns, or transaction charges by the broker-dealer who
executes transactions in the account. There also are custodial-related fees imposed by the custodian of assets
for the program account. These additional fees and charges will be set out in the TPAM’s Brochure and the
agreements executed by the client at the time the account is opened.
If assets are invested in mutual funds, ETFs or other pooled funds, there are two layers of advisory fees and
expenses for those assets. Client will pay an advisory fee to the fund manager and other expenses as a
shareholder of the fund. The client will also pay the TPAM advisory fee with respect to those assets. The mutual
funds and ETFs available in the programs often may be purchased directly. Therefore, clients will avoid the
second layer of fees by not using the advisory services of the TPAM and by making their own decisions
regarding the investment.
A mutual fund in a TPAM managed account may pay an asset-based sales charge or service fee (e.g., 12b-1
fee) that is paid to the broker-dealer on the account. Integrated and its financial advisors are not paid these fees.
If client transfers into a TPAM-managed account a previously purchased mutual fund, and there is an applicable
contingent deferred sales charge on the fund, client will pay that charge when the mutual fund is sold. If the
account is invested in a mutual fund that charges a fee where a redemption is made within a specific time period
after the investment, the client will be charged the redemption fee. If a mutual fund has a frequent trading policy,
the policy can limit a client’s transactions in shares of the fund (e.g., for rebalancing, liquidations, deposits, or tax
harvesting).

http://www.integrated-partners.com
If client holds a UIT in a TPAM-managed account, UIT sponsors charge creation and development fees or similar
fees.
If the TPAM-managed account is invested in a wrap fee program, clients should understand that the wrap fee
may cost the client more than purchasing the program services separately. Factors that bear upon the cost of the
account in relation to the cost of the same services purchased separately include the:
type and size of the account;
types of securities in the account;
•
•
• historical and or expected size or number of trades for the account; and
• number and range of supplementary advisory and client-related services provided to the client.
The investment products and services available to be purchased in the TPAM’s program can be purchased by
clients outside of the TPAM’s program through Integrated or through broker-dealers or other registered
investment advisers not affiliated Integrated or the TPAM.
Clients should be aware that securities transferred into an account may have been subject to a commission or
sales load when the security was originally purchased. After transfer into an advisory account, client should
understand that an advisory fee will be charged based on the total assets in the account, including the
transferred security. When transferring securities into an account, client should consider and speak to the
financial advisor about whether:
• a commission was previously paid on the security;
•
•
the client wishes for the security to be managed as part of the account and be subject to an advisory fee;
or
the client wishes to hold the security in a brokerage account that is not managed and not subject to an
advisory fee.
Family Office Services
Family office services clients will enter into a fixed fee engagement billed monthly or annually depending on the
arrangement between the Advisor and the Client. Fees are determined in considering the nature and complexity of
the services to be provided.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to, brokerage fees, transaction fees, and other related costs and
expenses, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these
commissions, fees, and costs.
Asset-based investment advisory fees may be a component of the family office services. These services are
provided as described in Item 5, Investment Advisory Services discussed above.
Financial Planning Services
Integrated offers financial planning services on either an hourly basis or as a fixed engagement fee. Fixed fee
engagements are negotiated based on the expected number of hours to complete the engagement at the
negotiated hourly rate. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor, depending on the nature and
complexity of services to be provided. An estimate for total hours and/or costs will be provided to the Client prior to
engaging for these services.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to, brokerage fees, transaction fees, and other related costs and
expenses, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these
commissions, fees, and costs.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement plan advisory fees are paid quarterly, in advance or arrears in each calendar quarter, pursuant to the
terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement and the billing practices of the account custodian. Fees are
Page 13
Integrated Partners
200 5th Avenue, 4th Floor, Waltham, MA 02451
Phone: (781) 890-3045 * Fax: (781) 890-5624
http://www.integrated-partners.com
typically based on the fair market value of plan assets under management through the calculation period
(average daily balance) or upon the end of the calculation period (end of period balance), but may at times be
offered as a fixed quarterly fee. Fees are negotiable and depend on the size and complexity of the plan.
Retirement plan accounts custodied directly with a third party, such as a mutual fund company or insurance
carrier shall be billed according to the billing practices of the third party as set forth in the third party’s Brochure.
B. Fee Billing
Investment Advisory Services
Investment advisory fees that are based on the asset under management in the account are calculated by
Integrated or the Custodian and deducted from the Client’s account[s]. The Client shall instruct the Custodian to
automatically deduct the investment advisory fee from the Client’s account[s] for each billing period and pay the
investment advisory fee[s] to the Advisor. The amount due is calculated by applying the quartertly rate (annual rate
divided by 4) to the total assets under management with Integrated at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be
provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the investment advisory fee.
Clients provide written authorization permitting Integrated to be paid directly from their accounts held by the
Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian.
Investment advisory fees that are quoted as a flat fee for annual service are agreed to in writing by the Advisor and
the Client. The amount due is either paid by Check or, with written authorization from the Client, is deducted from
the accounts held by the Custodian.
Third Party Asset Managers
Client accounts implemented through TPAMs will be billed in accordance with the separate agreement[s] with the
respective parties. These parties will typically add Integrated’s investment advisory fee and deduct the overall fee
from the Client’s accounts.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
Financial planning fees are invoiced up to 50% upon execution of the financial planning agreement with the balance
due upon completion of the engagement deliverable[s]. Certain Clients may have their planning fees included with
their overall investment advisory fees.
Family Office Services
Fee-based family office services are invoiced monthly or biannually, as agreed to by the Advisor and the
individual client.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the assets of the Plan, depending on the terms
of the retirement plan advisory agreement.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Integrated, in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Client’s accounts. Integrated may include securities transactions costs as part of
its overall advisory fees. Please see Item 4.D. above as well as Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program Brochure. The
inclusion of securities transaction fees into a single bundled fee may cost the Client more or less than if paid
separately.
In addition, all fees paid to Integrated for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the expenses
charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in
each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds,
Page 14
Integrated Partners
200 5th Avenue, 4th Floor, Waltham, MA 02451
Phone: (781) 890-3045 * Fax: (781) 890-5624
http://www.integrated-partners.com
other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage, and account reporting), and a possible
distribution fee. The Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by Integrated
to fully understand the total fees to be paid.
In most cases, multiple share classes of the same mutual fund are available for purchase. Some share classes of
a fund charge higher internal expenses, whereas other share classes of a fund charge lower internal expenses.
Institutional and advisory share classes typically have lower expense ratios and are less costly for a client to hold
than Class A shares and other share classes that may be eligible for purchase in an advisory account. Mutual
funds that offer institutional share classes, advisory share classes, and other share classes with lower expense
ratios are available to investors who meet specific eligibility requirements that are described in the mutual fund’s
prospectus or its statement of additional information. These eligibility requirements include, but may not be
limited to, investments meeting certain minimum dollar amounts and accounts that the fund considers qualified
fee-based programs. It is also possible that the lowest cost mutual fund share class for a particular fund may not
be offered through Integrated’s custodians or available for purchase within specific types of accounts. Clients
should not assume that they will be invested in the share class with the lowest possible expense ratio or cost.
Integrated urges clients to discuss with their financial advisor whether lower-cost share classes are available and
appropriate given their expected holding period, amount invested, trading frequency, the amount of the advisory
fee charged, whether the client will pay transaction charges for fund purchases and sales, whether clients will
pay higher internal fund expenses in lieu of transaction charges that could adversely affect long-term
performance, and relevant tax considerations. An advisor may recommend, select, or continue to hold a fund
share class that charges clients higher internal expenses than other available share classes for the same fund.
Some mutual funds are “no transaction-fee” (“NTF”) funds that do not assess transaction charges. Most NTF
funds have higher internal expenses than funds that do not participate in an NTF program. These higher internal
fund expenses are assessed to investors who purchase or hold NTF funds. Depending upon the frequency of
trading and hold periods, NTF funds may cost you more, or may cost Integrated or your financial advisor less,
than mutual funds that assess transaction charges but have lower internal expenses. In addition, the higher
internal expenses charged to clients who hold NTF funds will adversely affect the long-term performance of a
client’s account when compared to share classes of the same fund that assess lower internal expenses.
For those advisory programs that assess transaction charges to clients or to Integrated, a conflict of interest
exists because Integrated has a financial incentive to recommend or select NTF funds that do not assess
transaction charges but cost you more in internal expenses than funds that do assess transaction charges but
cost you less in internal expenses.
In addition to reading this Brochure carefully, further information regarding fees and charges assessed by a
mutual fund is available in the appropriate mutual fund prospectus.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Investment Advisory Services
Integrated is compensated for its investment advisory services in advance or arrears of the quarter in which
investment advisory services are rendered. Whether the compensation is paid in advance or arears is dependent
on the billing practices of the Custodian. Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any
time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. Upon termination, the Client shall be responsible for
investment advisory fees up to and including the effective date of termination and the Advisor will refund any
unearned prepaid fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s investment
advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Use of Third-Party Asset Managers
In the event that a Client should wish to terminate their relationship with a TPAM, the terms for termination will be
set forth in the respective agreements between the Client and those third parties. Integrated will assist the Client
with the termination and transition as appropriate.

Phone: (781) 890-3045 * Fax: (781) 890-5624
http://www.integrated-partners.com
Financial Planning Services
Integrated may be partially compensated for its financial planning services in advance of the engagement (Please
see “Item 5 B. – Fees and Compensation” above). Either party may terminate the financial planning agreement, at
any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. Upon termination, the Client shall be responsible
for planning fees based on the hours incurred or in the event of a fixed fee, the percentage of the engagement
completed. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid fees.
Family Office Services
Integrated is compensated for family offices services through either a fixed fee or an asset-based fee. It may be
partially compensated for its family office services in advance the engagement (Please see “Item 5 – Fees and
Compensation” above). Either party may terminate the family office services agreement, at any time, by providing
advance written notice to the other party. Upon termination, the Client shall be responsible for family office services
fees based on: (i) in the event of a fixed fee, the percentage of the engagement completed; or (ii) in the event of an
asset-based advisory fee, for the period that the services are rendered. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund
any unearned, prepaid fees. The Client’s family office services agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable
without the Client’s prior consent.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Integrated is compensated for its services in advance or arrears of the quarter in which retirement plan advisory
services are rendered. Either party may terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by providing
advance written notice to the other party. The Client shall be responsible for advisory fees up to and including the
effective date of termination. The Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid fees from the effective date of
termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s retirement plan advisory agreement[s] with the Advisor is non-
transferable without the Client’s written approval.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities and Insurance
Many Advisory Persons of Integrated are also registered representatives of securities broker-dealers that are
members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. In
one’s separate capacity as a registered representative of a broker-dealer, an Advisory Person may implement
securities transactions under the broker-dealer and not through Integrated. In such instances, an Advisory Person
will receive commission-based compensation in connection with the purchase and sale of securities, including 12b-
1 fees for the sale of investment company products. Compensation earned by an Advisory Person in one’s capacity
as a registered representative is separate and in addition to Integrated’s advisory fees. This practice presents a
conflict of interest because Advisory Persons who are registered representatives may have an incentive to effect
securities transactions for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on your needs. We
mitigate this conflict in two ways. First, Clients are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase
securities products through one of our Advisory Persons. Second, for a period of time after the date of purchase of
an investment for which the client paid a commission to an Integrated Advisory Person in the Advisory Person’s
separate “registered representative” capacity, Integrated will not include that asset in any asset based advisory fee
calculation. Please see “Item 10 - Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations”.
Many Advisory Persons are also be licensed as independent insurance professionals. These persons will earn
commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance products they sell to Clients.
Insurance commissions earned by these persons are separate and in addition to our advisory fees. 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 the Client’s needs. However, Clients are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise,
to purchase insurance products through any person affiliated with our firm.
Some Financial advisors are provided with compensation upon joining Integrated. This compensation can take
the form of waived fees or income provided on a forgivable or repayable basis under the terms of a promissory
note. This compensation is intended to assist the individual with transitioning their accounts and client
relationships to Integrated and/or to provide income for the financial advisor during a period of time when his or
Page 16

Phone: (781) 890-3045 * Fax: (781) 890-5624
http://www.integrated-partners.com
her income-making capacity is impacted by the account transition process. This creates a conflict of interest
inasmuch as it provides an incentive for the financial advisor to transition accounts and client relationships to
Integrated.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Integrated does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by
Integrated are as described in “Item 5 – Fees and Compensation” above and are not based upon the capital
appreciation of the funds or securities held by any Client.
Integrated does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a hedge fund
or company-funded investment account).
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Integrated offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, families, trusts, estates,
businesses and retirement plans. The amount of each type of Client is available on the Advisor's Form ADV Part
1A. These amounts may change over time and are updated at least annually by the Advisor. Integrated generally
does not impose a minimum size for establishing a relationship. However, smaller accounts may be subject to
different investment selection and strategies. Further, TPAM[s] typically impose minimums on their investment
strategies.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Integrated uses a variety of analysis methods, investment strategies and risk of loss when managing client
assets.
A. Methods of Analysis
• Fundamental: Analysis of security values grounded in basic factors such as earnings, balance sheet
variables, and management quality. Attempts to determine the true value of a security, and, if the
market price of the stock deviates from this value, to take advance of the difference by acquiring or
selling the stock. This analysis may involve investigating a firm’s financial statements, visiting its
managers, or examining how a particular industry is affected by changes in the economy.
• Tactical Analysis: The practice of using statistics to determine trends in security prices and make or
recommend investment decisions based on those trends. Technical analysis does not attempt to
determine the intrinsic value of securities, but instead focuses on matters such as trade volume,
demand, and volatility.
• Technical Analysis: Analysis of past market movements and apply that analysis to the present
conditions in an attempt to recognize recurring patterns of investor behavior and potentially predict
future price movement.
B. Investment Strategies
Considering the methods of analysis employed in a particular client circumstance, the investment strategies
employed by Integrated include but are not limited to the following.
• Long-term purchases: This strategy generally involves holding a security for at least a year and
potentially longer.
• Short term purchases: This strategy generally involves holding a security for less than a year.
• Trading: This strategy generally involves selling securities within 30 days of purchasing.
• Margin transactions: This strategy involves using one’s current holdings as collateral to buy additional
securities. Clients must complete specific paperwork to allow for such trading to occur in their
account(s).
Page 17
Integrated Partners

Phone: (781) 890-3045 * Fax: (781) 890-5624
http://www.integrated-partners.com
• Option writing, including covered options, uncovered options or spreading strategies: Writing an option
refers to the act of selling an option. An option is the right, but not obligation, to buy or sell a particular
trading instrument at a specified price, on or before its expiration. When someone writes an option, they
must deliver to the buyer a specified number of shares if the option is exercised. The writer has an
obligation to perform a duty while the buyer has the option to act. In the case of writing covered options
the writer owns the security in advance of having to deliver should the buyer exercise the option. In the
case of writing an uncovered option the seller does not own the security and would be subject to
additional market risk should the option be executed. Spread strategies involve multiple options trading.
Clients must complete additional documents in order to qualify for option trading.
• Tax abatement strategies: Customized investment advisory services structuring and maintaining
portfolios of financial assets, appropriate to the specific client needs and objectives, and consistent with
an assumed universal desire to minimize taxes.
Integrated generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their financial
goals. Integrated will typically hold a security for more than a year but may hold for shorter periods for the
purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times, Integrated may also buy and
sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals of
the security, sector, or asset class.
C. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Integrated will assist Clients in determining an appropriate
strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a
Client will meet their investment goals. It is important to understand that no methodology or investment strategy
is guaranteed to be successful or profitable. There are risks inherent in each method of analysis and investment
strategy, including those listed above.
For example, a risk of any method of analysis that considers past performance as a predictor of future
performance is that past performance is no guarantee of future results. Some methods of analysis, such as
fundamental analysis, focus on identifying the value of the company, without considering external factors such as
market movements. Failure to consider external factors presents a potential risk, as the price of a security may
be impacted by the overall market, regardless of the economic and financial factors considered in evaluating the
specific stock.
Other methods of analysis, such as technical analysis, evaluate external factors, but do not consider the
underlying financial condition of a company. Failure to consider a company's underlying value presents a risk
that a poorly managed or financially unsound company may under-perform regardless of positive market
movements.
Most methods of analysis require your financial advisor to make one or more assumptions or subjective
judgments. If any of the assumptions or judgments are incorrect or are not realized, then the analysis may be
inaccurate. Finally, all of the methods of analysis described above rely on the assumption that all publicly
available sources of information are accurate, and that the analysis is not compromised by inaccurate or
misleading information.
In addition, each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time
horizon, tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account.
Client participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for
the analysis of a Client's account. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the
Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals
or other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client
accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio
construction process.

http://www.integrated-partners.com
A risk of investing with a TPAM who has been successful in the past is that he/she may not be able to replicate
that success in the future. In addition, as Integrated does not control the underlying investments in a TPAM's
portfolio, there is also a risk that a manager may deviate from the stated investment mandate or strategy of the
portfolio, making it a less suitable investment for clients. Moreover, as Integrated does not control the TPAM's
daily business and compliance operations, Integrated may not be aware of any lack of internal controls
necessary to prevent business, regulatory or reputational deficiencies.
Described below are some risks associated with investing in general and with some types of investments that
Integrated can recommend depending on the service provided.
• Long term purchases: General risk involved is opportunity risk. Opportunity risk is whereby investing in
one security you lose the potential to invest in something that may perform better in a shorter period.
• Short term purchases: When utilizing short-term purchasing as a strategy the risk is that one may miss
out on the long-term performance of a security. Additionally, there may be additional costs involved with
this strategy that may hurt overall performance of the client portfolio.
• Trading: Frequent trading may impact a portfolio’s performance through increased costs associated with
the amount of activity occurring in the client account.
• Margin Transactions: The major risks involving the use of margin transactions include market and
interest rate risks. There are specific margin requirements set by the Federal Reserve and custodian.
Generally, clients with approved margin can use 50% of their holdings. Clients must then maintain a
maintenance margin. This is a percentage of the current market value of the securities in the account. If
this percentage falls below 25%, clients will be required to either deposit additional funds or sell off
securities to meet the requirement. The interest rate risk comes into play on the funds being borrowed.
If interest rates increase, so will the cost associated with borrowing the funds to make the additional
purchases. In the event a client does not meet their margin requirements, firms can sell off securities
without contacting the client.
•
• Market Risk. This is the risk that the value of securities owned by an investor may go up or down,
sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular
industries.
Interest Rate Risk. This is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an
increase in interest rates; a bond or a fixed income fund with a longer duration will be more sensitive to
changes in interest rates than a bond or bond fund with a shorter duration.
• Credit Risk. This is the risk that an investor could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income
security is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations.
•
•
Issuer
Specific Risk. This is the risk that the value of an individual security or particular type of security
can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market
‐
as a whole.
Investment Company Risk. To the extent a client account invests in ETFs or other investment
companies, its performance will be affected by the performance of those other investment companies.
Investments in ETFs and other investment companies are subject to the risks of the investment
companies’ investments, as well as to the investment companies’ expenses. If a client account invests in
other investment companies, the client account may receive distributions of taxable gains from portfolio
transactions by that investment company and may recognize taxable gains from transactions in shares
of that investment company, which would be taxable when distributed.
• Concentration Risk. To the extent a client account concentrates its investments by investing a significant
portion of its assets in the securities of a single issuer, industry, sector, country or region, the overall
adverse impact on the client of adverse developments in the business of such issuer, such industry or
such government could be considerably greater than if they did not concentrate their investments to
such an extent.

industries that constitute a sector may all react in the same way to economic, political, or regulatory
sectors do not
events. A client account’s performance could be affected if the sectors, industries, or sub
perform as expected. Alternatively, the lack of exposure to one or more sectors or industries may
adversely affect performance.
• Alternative Strategy Mutual Funds. Certain mutual funds invest primarily in alternative investments
and/or strategies. Investing in alternative investments and/or strategies may not be suitable for all
investors and involves special risks, such as risks associated with commodities, real estate, leverage,
selling securities short, the use of derivatives, potential adverse market forces, regulatory changes and
potential illiquidity. There are special risks associated with mutual funds that invest principally in real
estate securities, such as sensitivity to changes in real estate values and interest rates and price volatility
because of the fund’s concentration in the real estate industry. These types of funds tend to have higher
expense ratios than more traditional mutual funds. They also tend to be newer and have less of a track
record or performance history.
• Closed-End/Interval Funds. Interval Funds/Risks and Limitations. Where appropriate, Integrated may
utilize interval funds (and other types of securities that could pose additional risks, including lack of
liquidity and restrictions on withdrawals). An interval fund is a non-traditional type of closed-end mutual
fund that periodically offers to buy back a percentage of outstanding shares from shareholders.
Investments in an interval fund involve additional risk, including lack of liquidity and restrictions on
withdrawals. During any time periods outside of the specified repurchase offer window(s), investors will
be unable to sell their shares of the interval fund. There is no assurance that an investor will be able to
tender shares when or in the amount desired. There can also be situations where an interval fund has a
limited amount of capacity to repurchase shares and may not be able to fulfill all purchase orders. In
addition, the eventual sale price for the interval fund could be less than the interval fund value on the
date that the sale was requested. While an internal fund periodically offers to repurchase a portion of its
securities, there is no guarantee that investors may sell their shares at any given time or in the desired
amount. As interval funds can expose investors to liquidity risk, investors should consider interval fund
shares to be an illiquid investment. Typically, the interval funds are not listed on any securities exchange
and are not publicly traded. Therefore, there is no secondary market for the fund’s shares. Because
these types of investments involve certain additional risk, these funds will only be utilized when
consistent with a client’s investment objectives, individual situation, suitability, tolerance for risk and
liquidity needs. Investment should be avoided where an investor has a short-term investing horizon
and/or cannot bear the loss of some, or all, of the investment. There can be no assurance that an interval
fund investment will prove profitable or successful. In light of these enhanced risks, a client may direct
Integrated, in writing, not to purchase interval funds for the client’s account.
• Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). ETFs are typically investment companies that are legally classified as
open-end mutual funds or UITs. However, they differ from traditional mutual funds, in particular, in that
ETF shares are listed on a securities exchange. Shares can be bought and sold throughout the trading
day like shares of other publicly traded companies. ETF shares may trade at a discount or premium to
their net asset value. This difference between the bid price and the ask price is often referred to as the
“spread.” The spread varies over time based on the ETF’s trading volume and market liquidity and is
generally lower if the ETF has a lot of trading volume and market liquidity and higher if the ETF has little
trading volume and market liquidity. Although many ETFs are registered as an investment company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 like traditional mutual funds, some ETFs, in particular those
that invest in commodities, are not registered as an investment company. ETFs may be closed and
liquidated at the discretion of the issuing company.
• Exchange-Traded Notes (ETNs). An ETN is a senior unsecured debt obligation designed to track the
total return of an underlying market index or other benchmark. ETNs may be linked to a variety of assets,
for example, commodity futures, foreign currency, and equities. ETNs are similar to ETFs in that they are
listed on an exchange and can typically be bought or sold throughout the trading day. However, an ETN
is not a mutual fund and does not have a net asset value; the ETN trades at the prevailing market price.
Some of the more common risks of an ETN are as follows: The repayment of the principal, interest (if
any), and the payment of any returns at maturity or upon redemption are dependent upon the ETN
issuer’s ability to pay. In addition, the trading price of the ETN in the secondary market may be adversely
impacted if the issuer’s credit rating is downgraded. The index or asset class for performance replication
in an ETN may or may not be concentrated in a specific sector, asset class or country and may therefore
carry specific risks. ETNs may be closed and liquidated at the discretion of the issuing company.

http://www.integrated-partners.com
• Leveraged and Inverse ETFs, ETNs and Mutual Funds. Leveraged ETFs, ETNs and mutual funds,
sometimes labeled “ultra” or “2x” for example, are designed to provide a multiple of the underlying
index's return, typically on a daily basis. Inverse products are designed to provide the opposite of the
return of the underlying index, typically on a daily basis. These products are different from and can be
riskier than traditional ETFs, ETNs and mutual funds. Although these products are designed to provide
returns that generally correspond to the underlying index, they may not be able to exactly replicate the
performance of the index because of fund expenses and other factors. This is referred to as tracking
error. Continual re- setting of returns within the product may add to the underlying costs and increase the
tracking error. As a result, this may prevent these products from achieving their investment objective. In
addition, compounding of the returns can produce a divergence from the underlying index over time, in
particular for leveraged products. In highly volatile markets with large positive and negative swings,
return distortions may be magnified over time. Some deviations from the stated objectives, to the positive
or negative, are possible and may or may not correct themselves over time. To accomplish their
objectives, these products use a range of strategies, including swaps, futures contracts and other
derivatives. These products may not be diversified and can be based on commodities or currencies.
These products may have higher expense ratios and be less tax-efficient than more traditional ETFs,
ETNs and mutual funds.
• Options. Certain types of option trading are permitted in order to generate income or hedge a security
held in the program account; namely, the selling (writing) of covered call options or the purchasing of put
options on a security held in the program account. Client should be aware that the use of options
involves additional risks. The risks of covered call writing include the potential for the market to rise
sharply. In such case, the security may be called away and the program account will no longer hold the
security. The risk of buying long puts is limited to the loss of the premium paid for the purchase of the put
if the option is not exercised or otherwise sold by the program account.
• Structured Products. Structured products are securities derived from another asset, such as a security or
a basket of securities, an index, a commodity, a debt issuance, or a foreign currency. Structured
products frequently limit the upside participation in the reference asset. Structured products are senior
unsecured debt of the issuing bank and subject to the credit risk associated with that issuer. This credit
risk exists whether or not the investment held in the account offers principal protection. The
creditworthiness of the issuer does not affect or enhance the likely performance of the investment other
than the ability of the issuer to meet its obligations. Any payments due at maturity are dependent on the
issuer’s ability to pay. In addition, the trading price of the security in the secondary market, if there is one,
may be adversely impacted if the issuer’s credit rating is downgraded. Some structured products offer full
protection of the principal invested, others offer only partial or no protection. Investors may be sacrificing
a higher yield to obtain the principal guarantee. In addition, the principal guarantee relates to nominal
principal and does not offer inflation protection. An investor in a structured product never has a claim on
the underlying investment, whether a security, zero coupon bond, or option. There may be little or no
secondary market for the securities and information regarding independent market pricing for the
securities may be limited. This is true even if the product has a ticker symbol or has been approved for
listing on an exchange. Tax treatment of structured products may be different from other investments
held in the account (e.g., income may be taxed as ordinary income even though payment is not received
until maturity). Structured CDs that are insured by the FDIC are subject to applicable FDIC limits.
• High-Yield Debt. High-yield debt is issued by companies or municipalities that do not qualify for
“investment grade” ratings by one or more rating agencies. The below investment grade designation is
based on the rating agency’s opinion of an issuer that it has a greater risk to repay both principal and
interest and a greater risk of default than those issuers rated investment grade. High yield debt carries
greater risk than investment grade debt. There is the risk that the potential deterioration of an issuer’s
financial health and subsequent downgrade in its rating will result in a decline in market value or default.
Because of the potential inability of an issuer to make interest and principal payments, an investor may
receive back less than originally invested. There is also the risk that the bond’s market value will decline
as interest rates rise and that an investor will not be able to liquidate a bond before maturity.
• Hedge Funds and Managed Futures. Hedge and managed futures funds may be purchased by clients
meeting certain qualification standards. Investing in these funds involves additional risks including, but
not limited to, the risk of investment loss due to the use of leveraging and other speculative investment
practices and the lack of liquidity and performance volatility. In addition, these funds are not required to
provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors and may involve complex tax structures and
Page 21

http://www.integrated-partners.com
delays in distributing important tax information. Client should be aware that these funds are not liquid as
there is no secondary trading market available. At the absolute discretion of the issuer of the fund, there
may be certain repurchase offers made from time to time. However, there is no guarantee that client will
be able to redeem the fund during the repurchase offer.
• Business Development Companies (BDCs). BDCs are typically closed-end investment companies. Some
BDCs primarily invest in the corporate debt and equity of private companies and may offer attractive
yields generated through high credit risk exposures amplified through leverage. As with other high-yield
investments, such as floating-rate/leveraged loan funds, private real estate investment trusts (“REITs”)
and limited partnerships, investors are exposed to significant market, credit, and liquidity risks. In
addition, fueled by the availability of low-cost financing, BDCs run the risk of over-leveraging their
relatively illiquid portfolios. Due to the illiquid nature of non-traded BDCs, investors’ exit opportunities
may be limited only to periodic share repurchases by the BDC at high discounts.
• Variable Annuities. If client purchases a variable annuity that is part of the program, client will receive a
prospectus and should rely solely on the disclosure contained in the prospectus with respect to the terms
and conditions of the variable annuity. Client should also be aware that certain riders purchased with a
variable annuity may limit the investment options and the ability to manage the subaccounts.
Additionally, the decision to liquidate an annuity prior to its maturity date may result in surrender charges
and a complete loss of certain benefits for which significant fees may have previously paid to the annuity
issuer.
• Company Stock. If company stock is available as an investment option to client in a retirement plan, and
if client chooses to invest in company stock, client should understand the risks associated with holding
company stock in a retirement plan. These risks may include, but are not necessarily limited to, lack of
liquidity, over-dependency on client’s employer, and less flexibility to change the allocation of plan
assets. Client should pay careful consideration to the benefits of a diversified portfolio. Although
diversification is not a guarantee against loss, it can be an effective strategy to help manage investment
risk.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments
involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to
discuss these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, regulatory, or disciplinary events involving Integrated or any of its Management
Persons. Integrated values the trust you place in us. As we advise all Clients, we encourage you to perform the
requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider with whom you partner. Our backgrounds are on the
Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with our firm name or our
CRD# 284656.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Broker-Dealer Affiliation
the commissions or other compensation relating
to
Some Advisory Persons of Integrated are also registered representatives of a securities broker-dealer. In an
Advisory Person’s separate capacity as a registered representative, the Advisory Person will typically receive
commissions for the implementation of recommendations for commissionable transactions. Clients are not
obligated to implement any recommendation provided by an Advisory Person of Integrated. Neither Integrated
nor an Advisory Person will earn ongoing investment advisory fees in connection with any services implemented
in the Advisory Person’s separate capacity as a registered representative. Additionally, Integrated does not
the Advisory Person’s
receive any portion of
recommendations in a broker-dealer capacity. Certain Advisory Persons may have received financial support
from the broker-dealer in the transition of Client accounts to the broker-dealer. In an abundance of caution, we
note that an affiliate of Integrated serves as a branch office of one broker-dealer, LPL Financial, and that affiliate
recieves a portion of the commission paid by Clients for commission-based transactions. This causes a conflict
of interest inasmuch as the compensation received by Integrated’s affiliate could be higher than the advisory fees
that would have been received if the investment were made in an advisory account. This conflict is mitigated by

the financial advisors’ fiduciary and best interest oblgations to assess account and investment options and to
present the most suitable option to the Client.
As a function of LPL Financial’s supervision of our advisors who are affiliated with LPL Financial and our
affiliate’s status as a branch office of LPL Financial, it may have access to certain confidential information of the
Clients that do not establish accounts at LPL Financial, including, but not limited to financial information,
investment objectives, transactions and holdings information. Please see our Privacy Policy, which is included
with this Disclosure Brochure. If you would like a copy of LPL Finanical’s privacy policy, please request one
through your financial advisor or by e-mailing operations@ifpadvisor.com.
The individuals that are licensed as registered representatives of LPL Financial are subject to regulations that
restrict them from conducting securities transactions away from LPL Financial without written authorization from
LPL Financial. Clients should, therefore, be aware that for accounts where LPL Financial serves as the
custodian, Integrated is limited to offering services and investment vehicles that are approved by LPL Financial,
and may be prohibited from offering services and investment vehicles that may be available through other
broker/dealers and custodians.
As a result of the facts that certain of Integrated’s personnel are licensed with LPL Financial or of our agreements
with LPL Financial it is responsible for supervising certain activities of Integrated to the extent Integrated
manages assets at a broker/dealer and custodian other than LPL Financial. LPL Financial charges a fee for this
oversight. This presents a conflict of interest in that Integrated has a financial incentive to recommend that you
maintain your account with LPL Financial rather than another custodian in order to avoid the oversight fee.
However, to the extent Integrated recommends you use LPL Financial for such services, it is because Integrated
believes that it is in your best interest to do so based on the quality and pricing of the execution, benefits of an
integrated platform for brokerage and advisory accounts, and other services provided by LPL Financial.
Insurance Agency Affiliations
Some Advisory Persons of Integrated serve as licensed insurance professionals. Implementations of insurance
recommendations are separate and apart from an Advisory Person’s role with Integrated. As insurance
professionals, Advisory Persons may receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the
various insurance companies whose products are sold. Advisory Persons are not required to offer insurance
products from any particular insurance company. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset
regular advisory fees. This causes a conflict of interest in recommending certain products of the insurance
companies. This conflict is mitigated by the fact that Clients are under no obligation to implement any
recommendations made the Advisor or its Advisory Persons.
As part of investment advisory services, Integrated may refer Clients to third-party insurance providers to assist
with the purchase of insurance products that complement overall financial planning and investment strategies.
While our firm does not receive direct compensation for referring clients to insurance providers, some of the
insurance providers we refer you to may compensate us for the referral. Such compensation, if any, will not
impact our recommendations, as we are committed to acting in your best interest. Clients are under no obligation
to purchase insurance products from any provider we refer, and you are free to seek insurance products from
any other provider of your choosing. Referring a Client to an insurance provider with whom Integrated has a
relationship may present a potential conflict of interest. Integrated is required to disclose any financial incentive
or referral fees it may receive.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Integrated has implemented a Code of Ethics that defines our fiduciary commitment to each Client. This Code of
Ethics applies to all persons associated with Integrated (our “Supervised Persons”). The Code of Ethics was
developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding our duties to you, our Client.
Integrated and its personnel owe a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith towards each Client. It is the
obligation of Integrated associates to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code, but also to the
general principles that guide the Code. The Code of Ethics covers a range of topics that address employee
ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of our Code of Ethics, please contact us at (781) 890-3045.

http://www.integrated-partners.com
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Integrated allows our Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. Integrated does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the
Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund or advise an investment company. Integrated does not
have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Integrated allows our Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities we recommend (purchase or sell) to you
presents a potential conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, we must disclose to you and mitigate through policies
and procedures. As noted above, we have adopted a Code of Ethics, which addresses insider trading (material
non-public information controls) and personal securities reporting procedures. When trading for personal
accounts, employees of Integrated may have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The fiduciary
duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can potentially be violated if personal trades are made with more
advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is
mitigated by reporting of personal securities transactions by its Supervised Persons and review by the Chief
Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or their delegate. We have also adopted written policies and procedures to detect
the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While Integrated allows our Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be
recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or
traded afterwards. At no time will any associated person of Integrated, transact in any security to the detriment of
any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodians
Integrated does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the “Custodian”) for
custody and execution services. The Client will engage the Custodian to safeguard Client assets and authorize it
to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed in the investment advisory agreement, unless otherwise directed by
the Client. Factors that Integrated considers in making broker-dealers or custodians available to Clients include
such entity’s financial strength, reputation, execution, pricing, and service.
Many of Integrated’s Advisory Persons are also registered representatives of LPL Financial and are limited in the
Custodian in which they can recommend to Clients. In general, Advisory Persons registered with LPL Financial
recommend that Clients establish accounts at LPL Financial. Advisory Persons affiliated with LPL Financial as
registered representatives may also recommend that Clients utilize Schwab Advisor Services, division of Charles
Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Charles Schwab”), or Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (Fidelity”) as its “qualified custodian”
in appropriate circumstances.
Advisory Persons that are not affiliated with LPL Financial as registered representatives will typically recommend
that Clients establish accounts at Charles Schwab or Fidelity.
While Integrated receives economic benefits from its Custodians, we believe they provide quality execution and
related services for our Clients at competitive prices. Price is not the sole factor Integrated considers in
evaluating best execution and the recommendation of the Custodian. Integrated also considers the quality of the
brokerage services provided by the Custodians, including each firm’s reputation, execution capabilities,
commission rates, and responsiveness to our Clients and our firm.
Clients are free to use whatever broker-dealer/custodian they choose to implement financial planning
recommendations. For investment advisory services by Advisory Persons also affiliated with LPL Financial as
registered representatives, Integrated would be required to obtain permission to use a broker-dealer or custodian
other than LPL Financial due to the oversight role LPL Financial assumes over those Advisory Persons. Please
see Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation.

http://www.integrated-partners.com
The final decision to custody assets with any of the Advisor’s Custodians is at the discretion of the Advisor’s
clients, including those accounts under ERISA or IRA rules and regulations, in which case the client is acting as
either the plan sponsor, plan participant or IRA accountholder. Integrated is independently owned and operated
and not affiliated with its Custodians. The Custodians provide Integrated with access to their institutional trading
and custody services, which are typically not available to their retail investors. These services generally are
available to independent investment advisors on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to advisors. The Custodians’
services include brokerage services that are related to the execution of securities transactions, custody,
research, including that in the form of advice, analyses and reports, and access to mutual funds and other
investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly
higher minimum initial investment.
The Custodians also makes available to Integrated other products and services that benefit Integrated but may
not benefit its clients’ accounts. These benefits may include national, regional, or Integrated specific educational
events organized and/or sponsored by the Custodian. Other potential benefits may include occasional business
entertainment of Integrated personnel by personnel of the Custodian, including meals, invitations to sporting
events, including golf tournaments, and other forms of entertainment, some of which may accompany
educational opportunities. Other of these products and services assist Integrated in managing and
administering clients’ accounts. These include software and other technology (and related technological training)
that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade
execution (and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts), provide research, pricing
information and other market data, facilitate payment of Integrated’s fees from its clients’ accounts, and assist
with back-office training and support functions, recordkeeping and client reporting. Many of these services
generally may be used to service all or some substantial number of Integrated’s accounts, including accounts not
maintained at the Custodian providing the services. The Custodians also make available to Integrated other
services intended to help Integrated manage and further develop its business enterprise. These services may
include professional compliance, legal and business consulting, publications and conferences on practice
management, information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance, employee benefits providers,
human capital consultants, insurance, and marketing. In addition, a Custodian may make available, arrange,
and/or pay vendors for these types of services rendered to Integrated by independent third parties. A Custodian
may discount or waive fees it would otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of
a third-party providing these services to Integrated.
These support services are provided by the Custodians to Integrated based on the overall relationship with the
Advisor. It is not the result of soft dollar arrangements or any other express arrangements with the Custodians
on whole or individually. Integrated anticipates that it will continue to receive these support services regardless
of the volume of client transactions executed by Integrated or its clients with the Custodian. Clients do not pay
more because of these arrangements. While, as a fiduciary, Integrated endeavors to act in its clients’ best
interests, Integrated’s recommendation that clients maintain their assets in accounts at a given Custodian may
be based in part on the benefit to Integrated of the availability of some of the foregoing products and services
and other arrangements and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided
by the Custodian, which creates a potential conflict of interest.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of order, 3) difficulty of execution,
4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. Integrated will execute its transactions through the
Custodian as directed by the Client. Integrated may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities
are purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts. If a block trade cannot be
executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business
day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This
must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage particular Client accounts.

Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Advisory Persons and home
office personnel of Integrated. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more or less
frequently depending on the needs of the Client.
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A. above, each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. Reviews may be conducted more or less frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed
as a result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or
large deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify Integrated if changes
occur in the Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan.
Additional reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to
the Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may
also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by Integrated
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
Integrated has established institutional relationships with the Custodians (LPL Financial, Charles Schwab and
Fidelity) to assist the Advisor in managing Client account[s]. The Advisor receives access to software and related
support as part of its relationship with the Custodians, or, in some cases cash compensation to defray the cost of
these items that are procured directly by the Advisor. The software and related systems support or cash payments
may benefit the Advisor, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all
times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits
from a Custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's recommendation of
the Custodian over one that does not furnish these economic benefits. Additionally, the Advisor may receive the
following benefits from the Custodians: financial start-up support; reimbursement to Clients for transfer costs to the
platform/custodian; financing services, receipt of duplicate Client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements;
access to a trading desk that exclusively services its institutional participants; access to block trading which
provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions and then allocate the appropriate shares to Client accounts;
and access to an electronic communication network for Client order entry and account information.
Certain Advisory Persons of the Advisor may have received financial support from LPL Financial during the
transition of Client accounts to LPL Financial. This financial support is typically provided in the form a forgivable
loan from LPL Financial, whereby LPL Financial may not require repayment of the loan if the Advisory Person
maintains its affiliation with LPL Financial and maintains an agreed upon level of assets.
Additional Benefits and Sponsorship
Integrated generally hosts an annual event for its advisors and related persons. Certain custodians, third party
managers and vendors may elect to sponsor these annual events. Sponsorships range from $2,500 to $75,000
and may or may not be governed by a written agreement (“Additional Benefits”). Each sponsor provides these
Additional Benefits at their sole discretion and at its own expense and neither Integrated nor Integrated’s clients
pay any additional fees to any custodian, third party manager or vendor as a result.
Page 26
Integrated Partners

Phone: (781) 890-3045 * Fax: (781) 890-5624
http://www.integrated-partners.com
While Integrated has no expectation it will receive these Additional Benefits from any of the sponsors again in the
future, it reserves the right to request future sponsorships.
The recommendation by Integrated or its representatives that a client select a custodian, third party manager or
vendor, who provides Additional Benefits, to service their advisory account presents a conflict of interest.
Integrated may have an incentive to make such a recommendation based on its interest in receiving the
Additional Benefits to benefit its business interests, rather than based on the client’s interest in receiving the best
value in custodial, third-party management or other services.
Integrated has implemented procedures to mitigate these conflicts and ensure that any recommendations made
are based on the suitability and needs of Integrated clients. Integrated discloses these potential conflicts of
interest to ensure that clients are fully informed when considering their options. Clients are under no obligation to
select any custodian, third party manager or vendor offered by firms that sponsor Integrated events. Clients
should carefully consider all available investment options and should be aware of any potential conflicts of
interest that may arise from our relationships with event sponsors.
A client may request information pertaining to recent sponsorships by contacting Integrated’s Chief Compliance
Officer.
B. Client Referrals from Solicitors
If a Client is introduced to Integrated by an unaffiliated referrer (herein a “Solicitor”), Integrated may pay the
Solicitor a referral fee in accordance with the requirements of applicable SEC rules under the Advisers Act as
well as any applicable state securities regulations. Referral fees are paid solely from Integrated’s investment
advisory fees and will not result in any additional charges or higher fees to the Client. The Solicitor will provide
the Client with a copy of Integrated’s Disclosure Brochure along with a Solicitor’s Disclosure Statement
containing the terms and conditions of the solicitation arrangement including compensation.
Item 15 – Custody
Integrated does not accept or maintain custody of any Client accounts, except for the authorized deduction of the
advisor’s fee and in the instance where a client executes a standing letter of authority. All Clients must place their
assets with a “qualified custodian”. Clients are required to engage the Custodian to retain their funds and
securities and direct Integrated to utilize the Custodian for the Client’s security transactions. Integrated
encourages Clients to review statements provided by the Custodian. For more information about custodians and
brokerage practices, see “Item 12 - Brokerage Practices”.
Integrated provides other services on behalf of its clients that require disclosure at ADV Part 1, Item 9. In
particular, certain clients have signed asset transfer authorizations that permit the qualified custodian to rely upon
instructions from Integrated to transfer client funds to “third parties.” In accordance with the guidance provided in
the SEC Staff’s February 21, 2017 Investment Adviser Association No-Action Letter, the affected accounts are
not subjected to an annual surprise CPA examination.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Integrated generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client
accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be
subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to
by Integrated. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of such
authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an Investment Advisory Agreement containing all applicable
limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Integrated will be in accordance with each Client's
investment objectives and goals.

Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Integrated does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements directly
from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies; however, the Client retains
the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Integrated, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the
ability of Integrated to meet all obligations to its Clients. Some of Integrated’s investment advisors have been
subject to a bankruptcy or other financial compromise in the past. Integrated does not believe that any of these
events would reasonably impair the ability of Integrated or its investment advisers to meet the needs of their
clients.

Item 4 – Services Fees and Compensation
A. Services
Integrated Wealth Concepts LLC (“Integrated” or the “Advisor”) provides customized wealth advisory services for
its Clients. The Integrated Wrap Fee Program (the “Wrap Fee Program”) is an investment advisory program
sponsored by Integrated whereby Integrated includes normal securities transaction fees with its investment
advisory fees to provide Clients with a single overall fee. The Integrated Wrap Fee Program Brochure is provided
solely as a disclosure when Integrated includes securities transaction fees as part of its overall investment
advisory fee (as detailed in Item 5 of the Disclosure Brochure). In addition, Integrated provides advisory services
through certain programs sponsored by its custodians. Below is a brief description of each Integrated Wrap Fee
Program and the advisory wrap fee programs available to clients of Integrated through its custodians. For more
information regarding the custodial wrap fee programs, including more information on the advisory services and
fees that apply, the types of investments available in the programs and the potential conflicts of interest presented
by the programs please see the program account packet (which includes the account agreement and Form ADV
program brochure) and the Form ADV, Part 2A of the custodian or the applicable program.
A wrap fee program offers clients a fee structure that includes, as a single fee, the securities transaction costs for
trading in Client accounts along with the investment advisory fees earned by Integrated. The securities
regulations often refer to such a structure as a “Wrap Fee Program”.

Fee Program Brochure is an Appendix. This Wrap Fee Program Brochure will always be provided in connection
with the Disclosure Brochure. In addition, as noted above, Clients should refer to the Form ADV wrap program

wrap fee programs.

http://www.integrated-partners.com
liquidate previously purchased securities. The client will also authorize LPL to effect rebalancing for MWP

the portfolio(s) selected and the account's allocation amongst portfolios. The lowest minimum for a portfolio is

Small Market Solution (SMS) Program
Under SMS, LPL Research (a team of investment professionals within LPL) creates and maintains a series of
different investment menus ("Investment Menus") consisting of a mix of different asset classes and investment
vehicles ("investment options") for clients that sponsor and maintain participant-directed defined contribution
plans ("Plan Sponsors"). The Plan Sponsor is responsible for selecting the Investment Menu that it believes is
appropriate based on the demographics and other characteristics of the Plan and its participants. LPL Research
is responsible for the selection and monitoring of the investment options made available through Investment
Menus ("Fiduciary Selection Services"). The investment options that are offered through SMS are limited to the
specific investments available through the record keeper that the Plan Sponsor selects. The Plan Sponsor may
only select an Investment Menu in its entirety and does not have the option to remove or substitute an
investment option.
If the Plan is subject to ERISA, LPL will be a "fiduciary" and serve as "investment manager" (as that term is
defined in section 3(38) of ERISA) in connection with the Fiduciary Selection Services. None of the services
offered under SMS other than the Fiduciary Selection Services will constitute "investment advice" under
3{21)(A)(ii) of ERISA, or otherwise cause LPL or Integrated to be deemed a fiduciary.
In addition to the Fiduciary Selection Services, Plan Sponsor may also select from a number of non-fiduciary
consulting services available under SMS that are provided by Integrated. These consulting services may include,
but are not limited to: general education, and support regarding the Plan and the investment options selected by
Plan Sponsor; assistance regarding the selection of, and ongoing relationship management for, record keepers
and other third-party vendors; Plan participant enrollment support; and participant-level education regarding
investment in the Plan. These consulting services do not include any individualized investment advice to the Plan
Sponsor or Plan participants with respect to Plan assets, and LPL and Integrated do not act as fiduciaries under
ERISA in providing such consulting services.
Guided Wealth Portfolios (GWP)
GWP offers clients the ability to participate in a centrally managed, algorithm-based investment program, which
is made available to users and clients through a web-based, interactive account management portal ("Investor
Portal"). Investment recommendations to buy and sell open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds are
generated through proprietary, automated, computer algorithms (collectively, the "Algorithm") of Xulu, Inc.,
doing business as FutureAdvisor ("FutureAdvisor"), based upon model portfolios constructed by LPL and
selected for the account as described below (such model portfolio selected for the account, the "Model
Portfolio"). Communications concerning GWP are intended to occur primarily through electronic means
(including but not limited to, through email communications or through the Investor Portal), although Integrated
will be available to discuss investment strategies, objectives or the account in general in person or via
telephone.
A preview of the Program (the "Educational Tool") is provided for a period of up to forty-five days to help users
determine whether they would like to become advisory clients and receive ongoing financial advice from LPL,
FutureAdvisor and Integrated by enrolling in the advisory service (the "Managed Service"). The Educational Tool
and Managed Service are described in more detail in the GWP Program Brochure. Users of the Educational Tool
are not considered to be advisory clients of LPL, FutureAdvisor or Integrated, do not enter into an advisory
agreement with LPL, FutureAdvisor or Integrated, do not receive ongoing investment advice or supervisions of
their assets, and do not receive any trading services.

Financial Advisor-Managed Wrap Fee Programs
Strategic Wealth Management (SWM), Fidelity Managed Account Xchange (FMAX) and Charles Schwab
Managed Account Select (CSMAS)
In SWM, FMAX and CSMAS accounts, the Advisor provides advice on the purchase and sale of various types of
investments, such as mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), variable annuity subaccounts, business
development companies (“BDCs”), private equity, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), equities, and fixed
income securities. The Advisor provides advice that is tailored to the individual needs of the client based on the
investment objective chosen by the client. LPL Financial acts as the Custodian for SWM accounts, Fidelity acts
as the custodian for FMAX accounts and Charles Schwab acts as the custodian for CSMAS accounts. The
respective custodians each provide brokerage and execution services as the broker-dealer on transactions, and
performs administrative services, such as delivering quarterly performance reports to clients. Other custodians
may provide similar programs through which the Advisor can provide ongoing investment advice and
management on assets in an account separately identified to a client and separately managed on behalf of a
client and for which the client is charged a wrap fee.
Integrated offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, families, trusts, estates,
and businesses (each referred to as a “Client”). Please see Item 4 of the Disclosure Brochure for details
regarding Integrated’s investment management services.
B. Program Costs
Advisory Services provided by Integrated pursuant to a wrap fee structure may cost the Client more or less than
purchasing these types of investment management services separately. When Integrated absorbs normal
securities transactions fees, Integrated may have a financial incentive to limit the transactions in Client accounts,
as each trade will increase costs to Integrated. The costs of the Wrap Fee Program vary depending on services
to be provided to each Client.
Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly, in advance or arrears of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms
of the investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees, inclusive of the wrap fee are charged at an annual
rate ranging from 0.15% to 2.25% depending on several factors, including the overall size of the relationship and
the complexity of the services to be provided. Fees are based on the market value of assets under management at
the end of the prior quarter but may at times be offered as a fixed quarterly fee. The investment advisory fee in the
first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the Client’s account[s] to the end of the first quarter.
Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the
aggregate assets under management with Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by Integrated will be
independently valued by the Custodian. Integrated will not have the authority or responsibility to value portfolio
securities.
The wrap fees assessed on Integrated Wrap Fee Program accounts, except for accounts invested in the Custom
Series are demonstrated in the following table.
Invested Assets

client or family unit).

brochure and its supplements.

C. Fees
The Integrated Wrap Fee Program fee and LPL wrap fee program fee includes typical securities trading costs
incurred in connection with the discretionary investment management services provided by Integrated. Whether
the fees are paid in advance or arrears depends on the agreement between the client and the advisor and subject
to the limitations of the custodian of the client’s account, and/or the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
Securities transaction fees for Client-directed trades may be charged to the Client. Clients engaging Integrated
under this Wrap Fee Program will typically pay a higher overall investment advisory fee but will not be responsible
for securities transaction fees for their accounts. Clients should discuss the expected level of trading in the Client’s
account[s] to determine whether to engage Integrated under this Wrap Fee Program or pay for securities
transaction fees separately. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of Integrated.
Clients may also incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, which are not included as part of the
Wrap Fee. Such other fees, which can include, markups, markdowns, managers fees, custodial fees, deferred
sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, fees for trades executed
away from the qualified custodian, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions.
Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to Integrated’s fees and are not included in
Integrated's Wrap Fee. Integrated does not receive any portion of such fees.
In addition, all fees paid to Integrated for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the
expenses charged by mutual funds and exchange-traded funds to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees
and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay
management fees for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage, and
account reporting), and a possible distribution fee as a shareholder in a fund. Please see Item 5.C. of the
Disclosure Brochure. Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to Integrated’s fees
and are not included in Integrated's Wrap Fee. Integrated does not receive any portion of such fees.
D. Potential Conflicts of Interest and Compensation
Integrated is the sponsor and portfolio manager of the Integrated Wrap Fee Program and a participant in the
custodial wrap fee programs. Integrated receives investment advisory fees paid by Clients for investment
advisory services covered under these wrap fee program.
Depending on, among other things, the type and size of the account, type of securities held in the account,
changes in its value over time, the ability to negotiate fees or commissions, the historical or expected size or
number of transactions, and the number and range of supplementary advisory and client-related services
provided to the client, the amount of this compensation may be more or less than what Integrated would receive
if the client participated in other programs, or paid separately for investment advice, brokerage and other
services.
The account fee may be higher than the fees charged by other investment advisors for similar services.
Clients should consider the level and complexity of the advisory services to be provided when negotiating the
account fee (or the advisor fee portion of the account fee, as applicable) with Integrated. With regard to accounts
utilizing third-party portfolio managers under aggregate, all-in-one account fee structures (including MAS and
PWP), because the portion of the account fee retained by Integrated varies depending on the portfolio strategist
fee associated with a portfolio, Integrated has a financial incentive to select one portfolio instead of another
portfolio.
Item 5 – Account Requirements and Types of Clients
Integrated offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, families, trusts, estates,
and businesses. Integrated generally does not impose a minimum account size for establishing a relationship
except where set forth in Item 4 above. Please see Item 7 of the Disclosure Brochure for additional information.

As noted throughout this Disclosure Brochure, Advisory Persons of Integrated may also be registered

interest this presents, and how we address these conflicts, please refer to the Item 10 of the Disclosure
Brochure.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform - Integrated has established institutional relationships with LPL
Financial, Charles Schwab, and Fidelity to assist the Advisor in managing Client account[s]. The Advisor receives
access to software and related support as part of its relationships with LPL Financial, Charles Schwab, and
Fidelity. The software and related systems support may benefit the Advisor, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling
its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be
aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a Custodian creates a potential conflict of interest
since these benefits may influence the Advisor's recommendation of the Custodian over one that does not
furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
