Item 4: Advisory Business
Background
InterVest is an independent, professional financial counseling firm, which has been in
business since 1982. The principal owner is Richard Holleman Schoenfeld, President
and Chief Compliance Officer.
Financial Planning Services
As financial advisers, InterVest recognizes that each client's financial situation is unique
and must be analyzed before making recommendations. The planning process begins with
a confidential meeting with the client to determine their specific needs and objectives.
Next, an assessment of the client's financial position is made by reviewing their assets,
liabilities, income, expenses, investments, insurance, and taxes, as well as retirement and
estate planning.
Following this extensive review, InterVest develops a Financial Plan – an individualized,
financial blueprint for the present and the future. The Plan outlines viable investment and
tax strategies, suggests feasible methods of funding children's education (if applicable),
and notes changes that may be needed in retirement and/or estate plans. Life, health,
disability, homeowner, and liability insurance are reviewed for suitability of coverage and
cost. This Plan is presented and reviewed with the client.
When assisting a client with the implementation of the Financial Plan, InterVest works
with the client to reduce risk while increasing the chance of meeting their objectives.
When providing investment advice to clients regarding their corporate retirement plan
account or individual retirement account (IRA), InterVest is a fiduciary within the meaning
of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue
Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. Our fees may create
conflicts with your interests, so InterVest operates in accordance with special guidelines
that require us to act in your best interest and not to put our interest ahead of yours.
InterVest often works with the client’s team of attorneys, accountants, real estate experts,
investment advisers, and bankers. While these professionals usually focus on their specific
disciplines, InterVest helps highlight overlapping issues and assists clients in making
decisions that best meet their objectives. InterVest also has a strong network of successful
and well-regarded professionals who complement our own financial planning expertise

and who can be called upon to assist clients. InterVest helps clients in selecting additional
professionals for their specific needs. While these professionals may also recommend
InterVest to their clients, InterVest referral arrangements are limited to the third-party
investment advisers highlighted in Item 14.
Experience has shown that structuring a Financial Plan is not a one-time task. Rather, the
Plan requires regular review and monitoring in light of changes to the client's goals, family
needs, finances, and the constant modifications of the income and estate tax codes. (Note,
however, that we do not provide legal advice about the tax codes.) As part of our
continuous efforts to assist clients, InterVest encourages clients to contact us with
questions throughout the year and to schedule annual financial reviews.
In certain instances, the Principals of InterVest have agreed to act, individually, as Trustee,
Co-Trustee, Successor Trustee, Personal Representative, and Power of Attorney on behalf
of clients and family members. In these capacities, the Principals have discretionary
authority to administer their required duties. See Item 15 on page 20 for additional custody
information.
Other Advisory Services
Depending on the clients’ objectives, InterVest may recommend that clients participate
in an investment program sponsored by SEI Investments Management Corporation
(“SEI”). Through SEI’s program, InterVest provides the following advisory services.
1. InterVest assists clients in determining their risk profiles and investment
objectives. The investment objectives, investment time horizon, and risk profile
are determined and agreed upon through an interview process and the completion
of a questionnaire.
2. InterVest assists clients in setting relevant asset allocation policies. InterVest
also assists clients in selecting an allocation of assets using mutual funds or
separate account managers. This selection can include individual mutual funds or
one of the many asset allocation models available through the program. The
client may also elect that automatic rebalancing of the selected asset allocation
take place each quarter.

SEI is an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. SIMC is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Investments
Company, a publicly traded diversified financial services firm.
Clients in the SEI program authorize InterVest to be their agent and attorney-in-fact,
authorizing InterVest to provide instructions to SEI for transactions in the clients’
account and to take all other actions necessary or incidental to execution of such
instructions. InterVest will generally not give any instruction to SEI without obtaining
the client’s specific consent regarding the transaction, except under certain limited
circumstances as described in Item 16.
SEI selects the investment managers and funds available through the program. SEI also
provides rebalancing services if elected by the client. For more information about the
services provided by SEI and its affiliates in connection with these accounts, see SEI’s
disclosure brochure, which is available through the SEC’s website at
www.adviserinfosec.gov.
SEI and InterVest are independent of each other and do not have an agency,
employment, or adviser-client relationship. Therefore, InterVest has no authority to act
on behalf of or obligate SEI, or to make any representations on SEI’s behalf.
Outside of the SEI program, InterVest provides non-discretionary investment advice to
certain clients with respect to the purchase and sale of investments that are held with a
designated custodian. Clients typically engage InterVest to provide this advice in
connection with the implementation of a Financial Plan.
Certain institutional and individual clients engage InterVest to provide non-
discretionary asset management consulting services. Depending on the client’s needs,
InterVest may develop an asset allocation model based on the client’s objectives;
evaluate the client’s investment strategy and assist in identifying and selecting
investment managers to achieve the asset allocation model; assist the client in creating a
monitoring system for the investment assets to ensure conformity with specific
guidelines and performance objectives; review the custodial, trustee and safekeeping
aspects of investment management to determine the appropriate level of services and
fees; and/or periodic review of client’s asset allocation and investment performance and
recommend modifications. The services to be provided on a non-discretionary basis are
documented in the client’s Advisory Services Agreement.

Tailored Services
InterVest tailors its advisory services to the individual needs of its clients. InterVest
recognizes that each client's financial situation is unique and must be thoroughly analyzed
before making recommendations. Clients may impose restrictions on investment in certain
types of securities.
Wrap Fee Programs
InterVest does not participate in wrap fee programs.
Assets Under Management
At the end 2024, InterVest had authority to manage accounts with assets totaling
approximately $209,420,639 in assets. This included $126,302,506 on a limited
discretionary basis and $83,118,133 on a non-discretionary basis.
Additionally, InterVest maintains direct contractual agreements with several
independent management firms that manage assets for InterVest clients. (See Items 5
and 14)
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Fixed Fees
InterVest offers certain clients services for a fixed fee. The fee is based on the
complexity of each individual’s situation. For financial planning clients, the fee covers
an analysis of all appropriate data, the development of the Financial Plan, and the
presentation of the Plan to the client. In addition, fees include our availability for
consultation (in person or by phone) during the term of the Agreement. For certain
clients, the fee may also cover advice with respect to the purchase and sale of specific
securities on a continual basis. For non-financial planning clients, the fee covers the
investment advisory services set forth in the agreement with the client. It is our practice
to quote fees in advance of any contractual agreement so that potential clients know
exactly what to expect before they make a commitment. Our fees are set at a level that
encourages a long-term professional relationship with our clients.
Clients are generally sent bills for fees due. However, a client may elect to have bills paid
directly from a bank or investment account, in accordance with InterVest’s and the
applicable custodian’s policies and procedures.

IARD/CRD No.: 104614
3-31-2025
A client is charged on the following basis: for the initial consultation of one to two
hours, there is no fee. If it is mutually agreed with the potential client that InterVest
should prepare a proposal of service, then InterVest will send a written proposal with a
fixed fee. The fee is quoted to the client in advance of any contractual agreement.
The minimum annual fee for a comprehensive Financial Plan is $4,000. The fixed fee
includes the time needed to prepare the Plan, presentation of the Plan to the client, and
assistance in implementing its recommendations. One-half of the fixed fee is payable
when the Advisory Services Agreement is signed, and the remaining balance will be
billed six months from the effective date. Clients are welcome to implement the Plan
through InterVest or seek assistance from other professionals. Certain implementation
services provided by InterVest may be covered by the fixed fee, while others may entail
additional fees.
Fees for subsequent Financial Plans depend upon the changes that have occurred in the
client’s financial position. As per the signed Advisory Services Agreement between
InterVest and the client, on or before each anniversary of the client’s initial contractual
agreement with InterVest, the firm will send the client the renewal fee for the succeeding
year. Half of the renewal fee will be due when the Extended Agreement is signed, and the
remaining balance will be billed six months from the effective date. No portion of the fee
is refundable except as provided below.
InterVest or the client may terminate a financial planning agreement with 10 days
written notice to the other party. Upon such termination, the client’s obligation for any
fees or expenses paid or payable to InterVest hereunder shall be refunded or reduced as
follows:
A. If the client terminates the Agreement, during the initial Term and
i. Prior to the client’s receipt of the written Financial Plan, InterVest
will refund all fees paid by the client to InterVest.
ii. After the client’s receipt of the written Financial Plan, InterVest will
refund a pro rata portion of the fees paid by the Client for services not
rendered.
B. If either party terminates the Agreement, after the initial Term, InterVest
will refund a pro rata portion of the annual fee for that year.

The fixed fees for non-financial planning services vary depending on the services
provided and the value of the assets for which InterVest is providing advice. The fee
may be charged quarterly or annually in advance or in arrears, as the parties agree. If
the services are terminated by either party, InterVest will either charge or refund a pro
rata fee, as applicable.
Compensation Based on Assets Under Management
With respect to client assets invested through SEI Investment Management Corporation,
InterVest charges an annual fee between 0.25% and 1.00% based on the value of the
client’s assets in the program. The specific fee charged to each client depends upon the
scope of the relationship and other factors. This fee is in addition to any fees charged by
SEI or its affiliates. Clients generally authorize SEI Trust Company to debit their
accounts on a quarterly basis for InterVest’s fee.
In addition to InterVest’s advisory fee, clients who invest in the SEI Funds also will pay
their proportionate share of the fund’s management fees and administrative fees. While
InterVest endeavors to help clients optimize their investment returns, it does not guarantee
that clients will be investing in the lowest expense share class at all times. New share classes
are introduced from time to time, and in some cases, investment in lower-cost share classes
is restricted by the fund or the custodian. Clients who utilize the services of a separate
account manager likewise will pay investment management fees to that applicable manager
and custodian fees. All fees and expenses are explained to the client in advance of signing
an Investment Advisory Agreement with InterVest. Upon written notification, either party
may terminate the agreement. Pro rata fees will be charged based on the market value as of
the date notice is received.
As set forth in Item 14, InterVest is compensated for its investment advisory services by a
percentage of assets under management in connection with referral of its clients to third
party advisers, including Brown Advisory, Carderock Capital, Douglass Winthrop
Advisors, Edgemoor Investment Advisors, Glassy Mountain Advisors, and Marshfield
Associates. With respect to clients utilizing these investment advisers, InterVest receives a
portion of the advisory fee collected by the managing firm. A Disclosure
Acknowledgement Statement is included as a separate addendum in the agreement with
the investment advisers. Fees are typically paid quarterly in advance, as set forth in the
applicable agreement with the managing firm. If the client terminates the agreement,
prepaid fees will be refunded by the managing firm in accordance with the agreement.
InterVest does not collect any asset-based fees directly in connection with these assets.

InterVest is compensated for its non-discretionary asset management consulting services
by a percentage of assets under management as discussed and documented in the client’s
Investment Advisory Agreement. The fees, which depend on the scope of the Agreement,
are paid from the account on a quarterly basis. As set forth in the Agreement, the client
may terminate with written notice without the payment of any penalty and without liability
of either party to the other except that the client shall be liable for any accrued, but unpaid
fees due InterVest and InterVest will reimburse any fees prepaid by the Client, but not yet
earned.
Hourly Charges
When financial planning is provided on a limited basis and no Financial Plan is provided,
the client is billed in accordance with an agreement. Charges are $400.00 per hour and
clients are generally billed after the work is performed.
Other Fees or Expenses
As per the agreement between InterVest and the client, the client will be responsible for
reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket business expenses authorized by the client and
incurred by InterVest on behalf of the client. Such expenses will be billed as incurred
and payable upon receipt by check or electronic payment.
As also noted in the agreement between InterVest and the client, all fees are solely for
the services provided by InterVest and are not for services provided by other persons,
such as accountants, attorneys, and advisers. Such third-party providers will bill clients
directly.
Other than the relationships with other investment advisers described in Item 14, InterVest
does not receive compensation either directly or indirectly from any third party as a result
of InterVest’s engagement on an account. InterVest does not bill clients for brokerage,
custody, or fund fees and expenses. These charges could be assessed to the account by
other service providers.
Compensation for Sales of Security Products
Neither InterVest nor its supervised persons accept compensation in connection with the
sale of securities or other investment products.

Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and

Neither InterVest nor its supervised persons charge performance-based fees or
participate in side-by-side management.
Item 7: Types of Clients
InterVest provides investment supervisory services to individuals, trusts, families,
estates, charitable organizations, pensions, and profit-sharing plans. InterVest does not
impose a minimum dollar value of assets or other conditions for starting or maintaining
an account.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment
Strategies and Risk of Loss
Method of Analysis: Sources of Information
Our fundamental security analysis includes reviewing commercially available
investment information and evaluation services, financial newspapers, financial and
legal journals, academic white papers and periodicals, prospectuses, statements of
additional information, research materials prepared by others, and annual reports.
InterVest advisers review the performance of investment managers and mutual funds as
well as attend investment, legal, and financial planning seminars.
Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
In developing a client’s Financial Plan and in providing other investment advice to
clients, InterVest relies upon the information supplied by the client and the client’s
other professionals. Such information may pertain to the client’s financial situation,
estate planning, tax planning, risk management planning, short-term and long-term
lifetime financial goals and objectives, investment time horizon, and perceived current
tolerance for risk.
InterVest seeks to help its clients meet their financial goals and objectives. A client’s
Financial Plan outlines viable investment and tax strategies, suggests feasible methods of
funding children's education (if applicable), and notes changes that may be needed in
Form ADV, Part 2A: Firm Brochure

INTERVEST, LTD.

retirement and/or estate plans. Life, health, disability, long term care, homeowner, and
liability insurance are reviewed for suitability of coverage and cost. This written Plan is
presented and reviewed with the client to establish a course of action.
General Investment Risks
InterVest may recommend specific investments to certain clients to help them achieve
their objectives. Clients are reminded that different types of investments involve
varying degrees of risk, including the possible loss of principal and that past
performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Therefore, it should not be
assumed that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy
(including the investments and/or investment strategies undertaken by InterVest) will be
profitable. InterVest does not guarantee and can make no warranty with respect to the
results of recommendations, suggestions or other services. Investing in securities involves
risk of loss, which clients should be prepared to bear.
Risks of Stock Investing
Stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds, and may decline significantly over
short time periods. There is a chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock
markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and falling prices. The
value of a stock may decline due to general weakness in the stock market or because of
factors that impact a particular company or industry.
Risk of Bond Investing
Bonds have two main sources of risk. “Interest rate risk” is the risk that a rise in interest
rates will cause the price of a debt security to fail. Securities with longer maturities
typically suffer greater declines than those with shorter maturities. “Credit risk” is the
risk that an issuer of a debt security will default (i.e., fail to make schedule interest or
principal payments), potentially reducing income distributions and market values. This
risk is higher when a security is downgraded or the perceived creditworthiness of the
issuer deteriorates.
Foreign Investing Risks
When foreign securities are acquired, client accounts may be adversely impacted by
global political and economic conditions, reduced liquidity or decreases in foreign
currency values relative to the U.S. dollar.

Item 9: Disciplinary Information
There are no legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client’s or prospective
client’s evaluation of our advisory business or to the integrity of our management.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and
Affiliations
Neither InterVest nor its management engages in any other financial industry activities;
nor are they affiliated with any party engaged in the financial services industry.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest
in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics
InterVest has adopted a Code of Ethics and related policies and procedures designed to
prevent personal or proprietary trading that interferes with the best interests of clients.
These procedures include requirements that persons who have access to information
regarding clients’ securities holdings or trading activity (“Access Persons”) place the
interests of clients first and avoid taking inappropriate advantage of their position.
Access Persons must also report their securities holdings and trading on a regular basis
and report any violations of the Code of Ethics. They also are prohibited from revealing
confidential information about clients and their accounts except to persons whose
responsibilities require knowledge of the information. In addition, they are subject to
certain trading restrictions.
A copy of InterVest’s Code of Ethics is available to any client or prospective client
upon request.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
InterVest and its employees may buy or sell securities for their own accounts securities
that are held by clients of the Firm. Also, securities that are owned by InterVest
employees may be recommended to, or bought or sold for clients. However, InterVest
does not recommend to, or buy or sell for clients, securities in which InterVest or a
related person has a material financial interest. Furthermore, with limited exception,
Form ADV, Part 2A: Firm Brochure
Page 13 of 31
INTERVEST, LTD.
SEC File No.: 801-26390
IARD/CRD No.: 104614
3-31-2025
neither InterVest nor its employees buy or sell securities for their own accounts at or
about the same time the Firm recommends the same securities to, or buys or sells the
same securities for, clients.
As referred to above, InterVest has adopted a Code of Ethics and uses policies and
procedures to impose certain restrictions upon employee transactions and ensure that
the clients’ interests are given priority.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Brokerage Firms
Factors to be considered when suggesting a broker to a client include the account size,
pricing/fees, safety, and breadth of services required to meet the client’s needs. When
appropriate, InterVest recommends that a client open a custodial account with a bank
trust department or broker-dealer. Neither InterVest nor any of its employees receive
any direct or indirect benefit in connection with recommending a particular broker-
dealer or custodian.
Non-participation in Soft Dollar Contracts, Direct Client Brokerage and Firm
Aggregate Trades
As part of their on-going training, InterVest employees attend educational lectures and
review newsletters and investment market overviews provided by investment advisers
and broker-dealers, including broker-dealers who effect securities transactions for
clients. However, the Firm does not enter into “soft dollar” contracts, which obligate
InterVest to use client assets or direct client trading activities to secure these educational or
research benefits or any other benefits that do not directly accrue to the clients. InterVest
and its employees do not accept gifts, cash or gratuities from any bank, broker, mutual
fund, agent, exchange, or vendor of more than nominal value of $2,000 annually.
In connection with the SEI program, clients authorize and direct InterVest to affect all
transactions for the Account through SEI. This direction is mandated by SEI as part of the
program. For more information, see SEI’s disclosure document. InterVest does not have
other directed brokerage arrangements.
InterVest does not aggregate the purchase or sale of securities for various client
accounts.

Item 13: Review of Accounts
Regular Review of Accounts
Accounts are reviewed on a frequent and regular basis. The reviews are conducted by
the President and/or Vice President. A review may consist of an examination of a
client’s personal, financial and educational statements, expense breakdown, income
streams, tax and estate planning, and insurance portfolio.
Factors Triggering Additional Reviews
Factors that trigger additional reviews include relevant changes to income and estate tax
codes and receipt of client’s notification of changes in their financial situation or
investment objectives.
Regular Reports
InterVest prepares a written Financial Plan at the start of a relationship with a client.
InterVest endeavors to update these client reports on an annual basis. Clients receive
their own statements, such as monthly account reports, directly from the custodian by
whom their investments are held.
With respect to the SEI program, the client will receive monthly statements from SEI
Trust Company indicating holdings in the account. Should the client elect, he or she
may receive a quarterly report from SEI, which provides market value, cash flows,
gains and losses, asset allocation, and performance related to a style benchmark. All SEI
clients will receive an annual tax report of the activity in their account.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other
Compensation
Other than the compensation that InterVest receives from the third-party investment
advisers that InterVest recommends to clients as set forth below, InterVest and related
persons are not directly or indirectly compensated for client referrals. In addition,
neither InterVest nor any of its related persons have any oral or other written
arrangements where they are paid cash by or receive some economic benefit (including
commissions, equipment or non-research services) from a non-client in connection with

giving advice to clients. Neither InterVest nor any of its related persons directly or
indirectly compensates any third party for client referrals.
Recommended Professionals
InterVest recommends unaffiliated broker-dealers, banking institutions, accountants,
accounting firms, lawyers, law firms, insurance companies and agencies, as well as real
estate brokers or dealers to clients. The client is free to accept or decline InterVest’s
recommendation of such professionals. These professionals are responsible for their
services to the client and bill clients directly. While these professionals may also
recommend InterVest to their clients, there are no referral arrangements with
professionals other than the third-party investment advisers highlighted under the
following “Recommended Investment Advisers.”
Recommended Investment Advisers
In working with clients on the implementation of a Financial Plan, InterVest will discuss
various alternatives available for the management of investment assets. Depending upon
client objectives, InterVest may recommend a client consider using several options,
including an investment adviser with whom InterVest maintains a referral and servicing
agreement. Under such an agreement, InterVest receives a portion of the management fee
the investment adviser charges to the client in exchange for the referral of the client and
ongoing services InterVest performs for the client and the adviser. This arrangement may
incentivize InterVest to make the referral, which would create a conflict of interest.
In order to mitigate the risk of a conflict, InterVest will not recommend an investment
adviser unless InterVest first determines that the recommendation is in the client’s best
interest. InterVest will also fully disclose to the client the terms of InterVest’s arrangement
with the investment adviser and the services InterVest will provide to the client on an
ongoing basis. The client is always free to accept or decline InterVest’s recommendation of
investment management services.
InterVest has established contractual arrangements with the investment advisers listed below
and may establish arrangements with other advisers from time to time.
Brown Advisory
Brown Advisory (hereinafter Brown) is an investment adviser registered with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission. Brown has entered into an agreement with
Form ADV, Part 2A: Firm Brochure
Page 16 of 31
INTERVEST, LTD.
SEC File No.: 801-26390
IARD/CRD No.: 104614
3-31-2025
InterVest under which InterVest will refer clients to Brown and will thereafter perform
certain services related to accounts referred clients establish at Brown. In exchange for
the referral and ongoing services, Brown has agreed to pay InterVest a portion of its
advisory fee, which is payable by the client to Brown based on the value of client assets
Brown manages. The amount due to InterVest annually shall be equal to 35% of
Brown’s fee. Brown neither charges nor retains any additional fee from clients as a

Item 15: Custody
All client assets are held by a qualified custodian, such as a bank trust department or
broker-dealer. The qualified custodians send account statements directly to clients on a
monthly or quarterly basis. InterVest advises clients to carefully review their custodian
account statements. InterVest does not send duplicate statements to clients.
Although InterVest does not physically maintain custody of client funds and securities,
InterVest may be deemed to have “constructive” custody over such assets in certain
cases. This may happen, for example, where an InterVest Principal has agreed to act as
Trustee, Successor Trustee, Personal Representative, and Power of Attorney on behalf
of clients or their family members. It also may arise where InterVest has check-writing
authority over advised assets or where InterVest’s online access to client accounts
allows it to affect asset transfers from those accounts other than for the purpose of
ordering portfolio trades.
As required by the SEC, InterVest undergoes an annual surprise examination of
accounts as to which it is deemed to have constructive custody. Access to the
accounting firm’s surprise examination report and Form ADV-E are available to the
public through the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
InterVest has limited discretion with respect to accounts in the SEI program. The services
that InterVest provides in connection with the SEI program are described in Item 4 above.
With respect to accounts in the SEI program, clients authorize InterVest to be their agent
and attorney-in-fact, authorizing InterVest to provide instructions to SEI for transactions in
the clients’ account and to take all other actions necessary or incidental to execution of
such instructions. In no event shall InterVest be authorized to direct SEI to withdraw
money, securities or any other assets from the client’s account without the express written
consent of the client delivered to SEI.
Clients may also authorize InterVest to instruct SEI to rebalance their investments to
maintain the target allocation in the selected asset allocation. If the relative positions of the
holdings are outside the rebalance, variance may be set by SEI. Clients generally authorize
InterVest to instruct SEI to change the reallocation of the investments in any asset

allocation in accordance with any changes made to the selected asset allocation strategy by
SEI; however, clients may instruct the Adviser otherwise in writing.
Except as set forth above, InterVest will not give any instruction to SEI without getting the
client’s specific consent regarding the transaction, except in the following circumstances:
► If InterVest determines that it is in the client’s best interest to liquidate one or
more holdings in the Account as soon as practicable, the client gives InterVest
discretion to do so in the event that InterVest is unable to reach the client and
obtain the client’s consent in a timely manner.
► If the client makes additions to the account and does not otherwise direct
InterVest or SEI how to invest those additions, InterVest will instruct SEI to
invest the additions to the account according to the asset allocation previously
selected by the client.
► If the client requests that SEI withdraw money from the client’s account, unless
directed otherwise by the client or SEI, InterVest will instruct SEI to effect
partial liquidations of the account in such a manner as to maintain the client’s
selected asset allocation.
InterVest has limited discretionary authority with respect to client accounts where it has
accepted constructive custody as noted in Item 15.
InterVest has non-discretionary authority for accounts where it has assisted a financial
planning client and their family members with the establishment of an investment account.
While clients typically pay the custodian for their services, InterVest does not charge a fee
for this accommodation. The custodians do not pay InterVest a fee.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
This item is not applicable to our business. InterVest has no responsibility with regard
to how clients vote proxies relating to their securities. Moreover, except as otherwise
provided in Investment Advisory Agreements with SEI Private Trust Company, which
is described in Item 4, InterVest does not forward proxy solicitation materials to clients.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Board of Directors
and Shareholder of InterVest, Ltd.
Chevy Chase, Maryland
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statement
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of InterVest, Ltd., as of December 31, 2024, and the related
notes to the balance sheet.
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of InterVest, Ltd. as of December 31, 2024 in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be
independent of InterVest, Ltd. and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant
ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statement
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the balance sheet in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
financial statement that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the balance sheet, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events,
considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about InterVest Ltd.’s ability to continue as a going
concern within one year after the date that the financial statement is available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statement
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheet as a whole is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but not absolute assurance, and therefore is not
a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS)
will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users made on the basis of this balance sheet.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
• Exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
•
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the balance sheet, whether due to fraud
or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the balance sheet.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of InterVest, Ltd.’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the balance
sheet.
• Conclude whether, in our judgement, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that
raise substantial doubt about InterVest Ltd.’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable
period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related--
matters that we identify during the audit.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2024
NOTE 1 - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
InterVest, Ltd. (the Company), an S corporation, was incorporated in the State of Maryland on August 12,
1982. The Company was formed to act as a financial consultant, business broker or intermediary in arranging
financial transactions among individuals or business entities.
Basis of Presentation
The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (U.S. GAAP) applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding years. Outlined
below are those policies considered particularly significant.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the balance sheet in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual
results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash in operating bank accounts, money market accounts, and all highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are reported at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances.
Annually, management determines if an allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary based upon a review of
outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. Management
believes that all significant accounts receivable are collectible, and therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts
has been established at December 31, 2024. Accounts deemed uncollectible are charged off based on individual
credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the parties involved.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s assets and liabilities with short and intermediate-term maturities and defined settlement
amounts include cash, receivables, payables, and accrued expenses and are carried at their contractual amounts,
which approximate fair value.

December 31, 2024
NOTE 1 - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over
estimated useful lives of five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of
the estimated useful life of the improvements or the term of the lease. Maintenance and repairs are charged
to expense as incurred. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized. When items of property and
equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts and any gain or loss is included in income.
Revenues and Receivables
Revenue is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(“ASC Topic 606”). ASC Topic 606 requires that the Company recognize revenue and related
receivables, if any, to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that
reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or
services.
Revenue from contracts with customers and related receivables, if any, includes: (1) fees for investment
management and planning and consulting arrangements established by contracts with customers; (2) fees
for investment advisory services as a percentage of assets under management in connection with referral
of its clients to third-party advisors; and (3) nondiscretionary asset management consulting services by a
percentage of assets under management. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the
assessment of individual contract terms.
Significant judgement is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in
time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are
identified; and when to recognize revenue and related receivables, if any, based on the consumption of the
performance obligations by the customer.
The guidance requires the Company to follow a five step model to: (1) identify the contract or contracts
with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction
price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize
revenue and related receivables, if any, when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Deferred revenue represents investment management and planning fees and fees from consulting
arrangements received but not yet earned by the Company as of the balance sheet date. The Company
may receive payment for service periods of six months up to one year prior to performance obligations
being satisfied. Revenue is recognized over time as the performance obligations under the contracts are
satisfied, that is, as the services are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the
customer over the term of the contract.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2024
NOTE 1 - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Leases
The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”) which, among other things, requires the recognition of
lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet of lessees, along with the disclosure of key information about
leasing arrangements. Topic 842 provides the lease liability should be measured on a present value basis using the
implicit rate in the lease, if it is readily determinable. As the implicit rate in its operating lease disclosed in Note 4 is
not readily determinable, the Company used an incremental borrowing rate of 6% in recognizing its lease liability.
The Company’s incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized
basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms and in a similar economic environment at
the inception of the lease. Consequently, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company capitalized a right
of use asset of $280,522 and recognized a lease liability of $296,663 for the operating lease described below. The
right of use asset at inception of the lease did not equal the liability because the asset was reduced by $16,141 of an
unamortized deferred lease liabilities from a prior lease arrangement.
Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (“Topic 326”) that requires a
company with a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net
amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from
amortized cost of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the
financial asset. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, current
conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Previously,
when credit losses were measured, an entity generally only considered past events and current conditions in
measuring the incurred loss. The Company has not experienced significant credit losses and, as such, does not expect
the new requirements to materially impact its financial statements.
Subsequent Events
In preparing this balance sheet, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or
disclosure through March 28, 2025, the date the balance sheet was available to be issued.

Furniture and equipment
Less: accumulated depreciation
Net property and equipment
$96,736
(91,885)
$ 4,851
NOTE 3 - Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of demand deposits
maintained at institutions with balances that may occasionally exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and monitors the creditworthiness of the
financial institutions with which it conducts business. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to any
significant credit risk with respect to its cash balances as of December 31, 2024.
The Company is also potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk in its accounts receivable. As of December
31, 2024, 100% of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from one customer.
NOTE 4 - Leases
The Company entered into an operating lease agreement with an unrelated third party with a commencement date of
September 1, 2021. The lease term is 52 months ending December 1, 2025. The lease agreement required no
payments until January 1, 2022, at which time fixed monthly payments of approximately $6,740 for eight months
through August 31, 2022, and approximately $6,926, $7,116, and $7,312 per month for each of the respective lease
years ending August 31, 2025, and payments of $7,513 for the four months from September 1 through December 1,
2025. The remaining liability from this operating lease, which is classified as current since all payments are due
within one year, is determined, as follows:
Total lease payments due
$88,548
Less: 6% imputed interest
(2,830)
Non operating lease liability

NOTE 5 - Common Stock
The Company has 10,000 shares of $1.00 par value common stock authorized, with 100 shares issued and outstanding at
December 31, 2024.
NOTE 6 - Income Taxes
The Company, with the consent of their shareholder, has elected S-corporation status for federal income tax
purposes. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the individual owners of an S-corporation are taxed on their
proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income. The Company remains liable for the income tax in
certain jurisdictions that do not recognize S-corporation status. The Company uses the cash basis of accounting
for income tax purposes.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require the Company to evaluate tax
positions taken and recognize a tax liability if it is more likely than not that uncertain tax positions taken would
not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company has analyzed tax positions taken and
has concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken
that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the balance sheet. The Company had no interest and
penalties related to income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company is subject to routine
audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The
Company’s federal and state income tax returns are subject to Internal Revenue Service and state tax authority
examination, generally for a period of three years after the returns are filed.
Topic 740, Income Taxes, was amended by Accounting Standards Update No, 2019-12 (ASU 2019-12). The
amendments in this Update are intended to simply the accounting for income taxes by removing certain
complexities involving allocating tax expense or benefit to components of the income statement (e.g. between
continuing operations and discontinued operations), deferred tax liabilities related to outside basis differences for
equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries and allocating year-to-date losses between interim periods
in a year. Among other provisions, the amendment also provides guidance in accounting for franchise taxes,
separate entity financial statements, and interim recognition of the enactment of tax laws or rate changes. The
application of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition.
For 2024, the Company elected to pay Maryland Pass-Through Entity Tax (“PTE Tax”) on behalf of its
shareholder. This tax is assessed at 8% of the Company’s Maryland taxable income, and the resulting tax
amount is recognized by the shareholder as a credit against his personal Maryland tax liability. Since the income
tax benefit associated with the PTE Tax exclusively benefits the shareholder, it is recognized as a distribution to
the shareholder instead of a tax expense to the Company, and amounted to $122,536.

NOTE 7 – Prior Period Error
During 2024, management conducted a review of the revenue and receivable recognition guidance under accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and determined that accounts receivable as of
December 31, 2023 were overstated. Specifically, the performance obligations of the contracts with certain customers

NOTE 8 – Segment Reporting
The Company is engaged in a single line of business as an investment advisor, which primarily acts as financial
consultant and intermediary in arranging financial transactions among individuals and business entities. The
Company has identified its President as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM uses
shareholder’s equity, which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining
capital adequacy, such as whether or not adequate capital is maintained. The Company’s operations constitute a single
operating segment and, therefore, a single reportable segment, because the CODM manages the business activities
using information of the Company as a whole. The accounting policies used to measure shareholder’s equity of the
segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
