Item 4 - Advisory Business
A. Integris was founded in 1997, is a California limited liability company, is an SEC registered
investment adviser, and is owned by Gifford Lehman, Michael Leavy, Kevin Mahoney, Allison
Barrientos, and Jenna Reynolds.
B. Integris is independent, fee-only, and team-based, is a fiduciary, conducts investment
management and comprehensive financial planning, and holds the mission statement: “Be the
firm we would hire for ourselves,” and the core values: “Care for Clients,” “Do the Right Thing,”
and “Collaborate.”
Integris provides services to individuals, families, trusts, pension and profit sharing plans, for
profit corporations, and not for profit corporations. Individuals and families most often retain
Integris for financial planning and investment management, while trusts, pension and profit
sharing plans, and corporations most often retain Integris solely for investment management.
Clients are responsible for articulating their priorities, concerns, needs, and other financial
information. Integris provides reporting, performs analysis, articulates recommendations,
implements agreed upon decisions where authorized, and provides ongoing monitoring.
Additionally, Integris endeavors to coordinate with clients’ other advisors, such as tax advisors,
accountants, attorneys, and insurance professionals to present clients with coordinated advice.
Integris’ services include:
Investment Management:
• Assess clients’ goals, financial profile, and risk profile.
• Develop an Investment Policy Statement, which outlines the investment portfolio
•
strategy and characteristics, and Integris’ relevant recommendations.
Implement agreed upon recommendations where possible and authorized, ongoing
management, and regular client portfolio reporting.
Financial Sustainability:
• Assess clients’ goals and financial profile.
• Develop a Financial Sustainability report, which measures the ability of clients’ financial
resources to satisfy their goals, and outlines Integris’ relevant recommendations.
Implement agreed upon recommendations where possible and authorized.
•
Legacy and Incapacity:
• Assess clients’ goals and estate plan.
• Develop a Legacy & Incapacity report, which outlines the completeness of clients’ estate
plan, key people, beneficiaries and distribution of assets, and Integris’ relevant
recommendations.
Implement agreed upon recommendations where possible and authorized.
•

Integris is not a licensed attorney and cannot provide legal advice. Integris’ primary intent
with Legacy and Incapacity planning is to facilitate clients’ own understanding of their
goals and needs so that clients can more effectively communicate with their legal
advisors.
Risk Management:
• Assess clients’ goals and insurance policies.
• Develop a Risk Management report, which outlines potential risks to the clients’ financial
security, how those risks are being addressed, and Integris’ relevant recommendations.
Implement agreed upon recommendations where possible and authorized.
•
Integris is not a licensed insurance agent, and does not sell insurance products. Integris’
primary intent with Risk Management planning is to facilitate clients’ own understanding
of their goals and needs so that clients can more effectively communicate with their
insurance agents.
Other Financial Planning:
•
Integris provides unlimited consultation on any other aspect of clients’ financial lives that
clients or Integris identify as needing attention. Such areas may include real estate,
philanthropy, social security, college funding, and financing.
• To the extent Integris determines that such issues are outside its expertise, Integris
endeavors to identify, introduce to clients, and coordinate on behalf of clients with
another advisor or advisors who do possess such expertise. Said other advisors may
charge fees, which are the client’s responsibility.
C. Integris’ advice is fully customized for each client. Investment holdings can be similar from
client to client; however, investment proportions are client specific, accounting for such aspects
as client mandates, pre-existing investments, tax status, risk profile, retirement needs and
resources, insurance policies, and estate plans.
D. Integris does not participate in wrap fee programs.
E. As of December 31, 2024 Integris manages:

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
A. Integris is fee-only receiving 100% of its compensation directly from client payments, and
therefore receives no commissions, kick-backs, referral fees, etc. of any kind. Integris’ fee is based
upon a percentage of the assets under management subject to a minimum per below, which
provides for ongoing financial planning and/or investment management.

In some circumstances fees may be negotiable, or billed by a flat fee or by the hour.
B. Integris’ ongoing asset-based fees are billed quarterly in arrears, and are generally deducted
from client accounts, but clients have the option of paying by check.
C. Fees paid to Integris are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual
funds, exchange traded funds, or other managed investments. These fees and expenses are
described in each investment’s prospectus. In addition, brokerage firms may charge transaction
fees and occasionally other ancillary fees such as wire transfer fees or account fees. Integris
receives no portion of any fees mentioned in this section.
D. Integris typically does not charge any fees in advance. If services are provided for a flat fee,
this fee may be charged in advance. If a flat fee relationship is terminated prior to the specified
services being provided, a prorated refund will be provided based upon the amount of services
actually provided.
E. Integris does not receive compensation for the sale of any securities.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Integris does not charge performance-based fees.

Item 7 – Types of Clients
Integris provides services to individuals, families, trusts, pension and profit-sharing plans, for-
profit corporations, and not-for-profit corporations.
Integris does not impose a minimum account size, but does have a minimum fee as reflected in
Item 5. As a result, services are generally best suited for those with near $1 million or more in
investable assets or more.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Integris predominantly utilizes data and analysis provided by JP Morgan, YCharts, Dimensional
Fund Advisors, Vanguard, Blackrock, and East Bay Investment Solutions. Though investing
involves the risk of loss, Integris believes optimal portfolio results are obtained by:
a. Understanding clients’ goals and priorities.
b. Determining the most appropriate asset allocation (e.g. growth vs. preservation).
c. Applying Modern Portfolio Theory to determine the combination of asset classes
(e.g. large cap US equities, foreign equities, real estate equities, bonds, high yield
bonds, etc.) that offer the best risk and return balance.
d. Deploying the above decisions using mostly passive mutual funds and exchange
traded funds in order to gain exposure to virtually any asset class, obtain broad
diversification within each asset class, and hire specialized management expertise.
locations, and
e. Focusing on the elements within our control such as proper diversification,
investments with
disciplined rebalancing, advantageous asset
appealing characteristics such as low fees, tax efficiency, and style consistency.
B. Integris is oriented toward long-term investing in order to remain disciplined, minimize client
transaction costs, and minimize taxable events. Integris will generally not recommend frequent
trading, short-selling, margin buying, or options trading except in very rare circumstances with
sophisticated clients. However, even when Integris is not utilizing such strategies, risk of loss does
exist.
C. Integris aims to mitigate the risk of loss by diversifying portfolios across asset classes and via
the use of mutual funds and exchange traded funds, and by only investing in liquid and mostly
passive investments. However, this does not prevent investments, and particularly those
allocated to growth assets from being at risk of significant losses during capital market crisis.
Though Integris believes significant declines are temporary, clients should be prepared to bear
such losses.

Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
A. Neither Integris, nor any of its management have been involved in any criminal or civil action
in a domestic, foreign, or military court of competent jurisdiction related to investments,
investment-related business, fraud, false statements or omissions, wrongful taking of property,
bribery, perjury, forgery, counterfeiting, or extortion.
B. Neither Integris, nor any of its management have been involved in any administrative
proceeding before the SEC, any other federal regulatory agency, any state regulatory agency, or
any foreign financial regulatory authority related to investments, or investment-related business.
C. Neither Integris, nor any of its management have been involved in any proceeding before any
self-regulatory organization related to investments, or investment-related business.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Neither Integris, nor any of its management have any other financial industry activity or financial
industry affiliations including, but not limited to:
Investment company or other pooled investment vehicle
Insurance company or agency
• Broker-deal
• Futures commission merchant
• Commodity pool operator
• Commodity trading advisor
• Municipal securities dealer
• Government securities dealer or broker
•
• Other investment adviser or financial planner
• Banking or thrift institution
• Accountant or accounting firm
• Lawyer or law firm
•
• Pension consultant
• Real estate broker or dealer
• Sponsor or syndicator of limited partnerships
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Integris has adopted an extensive Code of Ethics, which includes how the firm handles such
topics as business conduct, insider trading, personal trading, gifts, and corruption. A copy of
Integris’ Code of Ethics is available to any client or prospective client upon request.
B. Integris does not invest client funds in investments for which any staff member has a material
personal interest (e.g. general partner of a partnership, director of a public company).

C. Integris’ managements’ personal investments are generally consistent with those of Integris
clients, which aids alignment of interests. Conflicts are further mitigated by avoiding active
trading for Integris personal accounts and clients’ accounts, and the usage of mutual funds and
exchange traded funds, both of which are generally large and diversified asset pools that
experience little to no impact by single trades.
D. Integris has adopted procedures contained in its Code of Ethics to prevent securities other
than large pooled investments such as mutual funds and exchange traded funds from being
traded concurrently for staff and clients.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
Integris predominantly uses the brokerage services of Schwab Institutional, a division of Charles
Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), though Integris and Schwab are not affiliated. Schwab was decided
upon through Integris’ search for a broker-dealer to recommend that was financially sound,
offered competitive client trading costs, had an institutional service platform to accommodate
client and Integris needs, and had robust client reporting and online capabilities.
Integris does not participate in soft dollar programs, which are arrangements whereby firms
receive benefits such as research from broker-dealers to which they direct trades. Additionally,
Integris does not receive compensation, referrals or any benefit economic or otherwise for
recommending any broker-dealer to clients. Integris does benefit by using Schwab as a client
custodian by way of educational conferences and consultant guidance.
While Integris does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer used, Integris
does recommend Schwab for eligible assets. Not all firms recommend a broker-dealer, but
Integris finds that using Schwab provides a cost effective and seamless client experience. Integris
cannot guarantee that this practice will result in the most favorable execution of client
transactions and may be more costly for clients. Integris may approve the use of another broker-
dealer at a client’s request, but similarly this may not result in the most favorable execution of
client transactions and may be more costly for clients.
Integris aggregates orders (block trades), which is a process by which the trading of the same
security across numerous client accounts occurs in bulk whereby all clients receive the same
transaction price, in appropriate circumstances. Generally speaking, Integris has found that
trading is unique enough to each client and circumstance that aggregating orders is not
warranted.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Client portfolios are generally reviewed daily to ensure they remain consistent with clients’ goals,
objectives, and Investment Policy Statements. Additionally, client goals, risk profile, Investment
Policy Statements, and when applicable, financial plans, are generally reviewed annually.

Page 10 of 11
The custodian provides trade confirmations, monthly statements, proxy material, and tax
documents such as 1099s. Integris provides a quarterly packet, which includes an invoice, market
commentary, performance report, asset allocation report, and holdings report. Additionally,
Integris provides other reports such as an Investment Policy Statement, Financial Sustainability
Review, Risk Management Review, and Legacy & Incapacity Review as applicable and on an as
needed basis, but generally annually.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Integris is a fee-only advisor, and therefore is solely compensated by its clients. Integris does
not receive commissions, kick-backs, referral fees, or any other compensation from product
sponsors, broker dealers, or any unrelated third party.
B. Integris may refer clients to various professional providers necessary to meet client goals, and
Integris may receive referrals, but there is no compensation exchanged in any instance, and all
referrals are a professional courtesy and in the interest of the client.
Item 15 – Custody
Client accounts are always maintained at a qualified custodian. Integris may have custody of
client funds for the purpose of facilitating client requested cash transfers and to deduct fees from
client accounts, but Integris only does so with client signed authorization, and does not otherwise
take custody of client funds.
Integris clients are encouraged to compare Integris’ quarterly statements with those provided by
the custodian to ensure accuracy, and are further encouraged to bring any discrepancies to
Integris’ attention.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Integris generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold
in client accounts without obtaining prior approval from clients. However, these purchases or
sales are generally made within the guidelines set forth in clients’ Investment Policy Statements,
which includes limitations and is previously agreed upon by clients and Integris. Integris offers
clients the service of obtaining prior client approval, however even in such instances, Integris
reserves the right to buy or sell securities without prior approval in the event Integris considers
such trades time sensitive and it is not practicable to contact clients. Regardless, Integris aims to
obtain prior approval from clients in the event intended trades would result in a significant
portfolio change or tax liability.

Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Integris generally does not accept proxy voting for clients, however, if warranted and/or required
by the client, Integris may do so at the discretion of the firm. Therefore, although Integris may
provide investment advisory services relative to client investment assets, clients maintain
exclusive responsibility for: (1) directing the manner in which proxies solicited by issuers of
securities beneficially owned by clients shall be voted; and (2) making all elections relative to any
mergers, acquisitions, tender offers, bankruptcy proceedings or other events pertaining to
clients’ investment assets. Integris and/or clients shall correspondingly instruct each custodian
to forward copies of all proxies and shareholder communications relating to clients. Separately,
Integris does maintain proxy voting authority on accounts for which Schwab Trust Company
services as corporate trustee.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Integris has not been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise, and has no financial
condition that would reasonably impair its ability to meet its contractual commitments to clients.
A balance sheet, which is required to be accompanied herein for firms that bill clients in advance
by six months or more by more than $1,200, is not included as any services provided by Integris
that require advance billing are completed within six months.
