Portfolio Management Services: JaxWealth
offers ongoing portfolio management services
based on the individual goals, objectives, time
horizon, and volatility tolerance of each client.
JaxWealth creates an investment plan for most
clients generally as part of its ongoing portfolio
management services, which outlines
the
client’s current financial situation. Portfolio

include, but are not

JaxWealth provides ongoing advisory services
through the SWM and grandfathered Jaxwrap
programs (i.e., are no longer available) available
through LPL Financial (“LPL”), a registered
broker-dealer. The SWM and Jaxwrap programs
allow JaxWealth to customize and manage
portfolios and to address the client’s unique
financial needs. These programs allow JaxWealth
to choose investment products from over 8,000
mutual funds from more than 470 fund families;
individual stocks/bonds; options; exchange
traded funds (ETFs), unit investments (UITs); and
fee-based variable annuities with over 100
subaccounts.

Through the SWM account, the client will bear

deduct from their account the transaction

clients will pay the same fees and there may be
no difference between non-wrap fee and

Portfolio Management Services through LPL
Financial: When appropriate JaxWealth has the
ability to provide advisory services through the
Optimum Market Portfolios Program (“OMP”)
sponsored by LPL Financial. OMP offers clients
the ability to participate in a professionally
managed asset allocation program using
Optimum Funds Class I shares. Under OMP, the
client will authorize LPL on a discretionary basis
to purchase and sell Optimum Funds pursuant to
investment objectives chosen by the client.
JaxWealth will assist the client in determining
the suitability of OMP and assist the client in
setting an appropriate investment objective.
JaxWealth will have discretion to select a mutual
fund asset allocation portfolio designed by LPL
consistent with the client’s investment objective.
LPL will have discretion to purchase and sell
Optimum Funds pursuant to the portfolio
selected for the client. LPL will also have
authority to rebalance the account. A minimum
account value of $10,000 is required for OMP.
The maximum fee for participation in OMP is
2.50%. For more information regarding OMP,
including more information on the advisory
services and fees that apply, the types of
investments available and the potential conflicts
of interest presented please see the LPL Financial
Disclosure Brochure and LPL Financial client
agreement.
JaxWealth will typically tailor a program for each
individual client. This will include an interview
session to get to know the client’s specific needs
and requirements and generally a plan will be
executed by JaxWealth on behalf of the client.
JaxWealth reserves the right to charge a financial
planning fee in certain situations and will have
the client complete a Financial Planning
Agreement when a planning fee is assessed.

that accompanies the advisory agreement
(“Agreement"). The Agreement will continue in
effect until terminated by either party by verbal
or written notice to the other party. As of the
date of termination, Advisor shall set the client’s
advisory fee account to zero for future billing
cycles.
Termination of the Agreement by either party
will not affect the following:
•
the validity of any action previously
taken by Advisor under the Agreement;
•
the liabilities or obligations of the parties
from transactions initiated before the
termination date of the Agreement; and
•
the client’s advisory fees billed prior to
the date of termination.
After the termination of the Agreement, Advisor
will have no obligation to recommend or take
any action with regard to the securities, cash, or
other investments in the client's account.
Financial Planning Fees:
Transaction charges vary depending on the type
of security being purchased or sold (e.g.,
currently $9 for equities, $35 for unit investment
trusts).
In the case of mutual funds, the
transaction charges vary depending on whether
LPL retains compensation from the mutual fund
for services it provides to the fund, such as
recordkeeping fees and asset-based service fees
or sales charges. LPL uses that compensation
from mutual funds to reduce its trading costs,
and therefore, assesses a lower transaction
charge to the client. Mutual fund transaction
charges are currently either $0 or $26.50. LPL
does not charge a transaction charge for fixed
income securities (e.g., bonds or structured
products); however, LPL acts as principal on fixed
income security transactions and receives a
mark up/down on the transaction. The standard
transaction charges applicable to a SWM
in
account will be notified to the client
connection with the Account opening. These
charges are subject to change at the discretion
of LPL. Client will be notified of any changes,
including through information provided with
periodic statements.

considered to be the opposite of Technical
Analysis. Fundamental Analysis is about using
real data to evaluate a security's value. Although
most analysts use Fundamental Analysis to value
stocks, this method of valuation can be used for
just about any type of security. The risk
associated with Fundamental Analysis is that it is
somewhat subjective. While a quantitative
approach
is possible, Fundamental Analysis
usually entails a qualitative assessment of how
market forces interact with one another in their
impact on the investment in question. It is
possible for those market forces to point in
different directions,
thus necessitating an
interpretation of which forces will be dominant.
This interpretation may be wrong and could
therefore lead to an unfavorable investment
decision.
Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that
you, as a client, should be prepared to bear.
B. Material Risks Involved.
Modern Portfolio Theory assumes that investors
are risk averse, meaning that given two
portfolios that offer the same expected return,
investors will prefer the less risky one. Thus, an
investor will take on increased risk only if
compensated by higher expected returns.

expected returns must accept more risk. The
exact trade-off will be the same for all investors,
but different investors will evaluate the trade-off
differently based on individual risk aversion
characteristics. The implication is that a rational
investor will not invest in a portfolio if a second
portfolio exists with a more favorable risk-
expected return profile – i.e., if for that level of
risk an alternative portfolio exists which has
better expected returns.
Equity investments generally refers to buying
shares of stocks in return for receiving a future
payment of dividends and/or capital gains if the
value of the stock increases. The value of equity
securities may fluctuate in response to specific
situations for each company, industry conditions
and the general economic environments.
leveraged
Technical Analysis attempts to predict a future
stock price or direction based on market trends.
The assumption is that the market follows
discernible patterns and if these patterns can be
identified then a prediction can be made. The
risk is that markets do not always follow patterns
and relying solely on this method may not take
into account new patterns that emerge over
time. This is a method of evaluating securities by
analyzing statistics generated by market activity,
such as past prices and volume. Technical
Analysts do not attempt to measure a security's
intrinsic value, but instead use charts and other
tools to identify patterns that can suggest future
activity.
Investment Strategies: Long-term trading is
designed to capture market rates of both return
and risk. Due to its nature, the long-term
investment strategy can expose the client to
various types of risk that will typically surface at
various intervals during the time the client owns
the investments. These risks include but are not
limited to inflation (purchasing power) risk,
interest rate risk, economic risk, market risk, and
political/regulatory risk.
Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that
you, as a client, should be prepared to bear.
Fixed income investments generally pay a return
on a fixed schedule, though the amount of the
payments can vary. This type of investment can
include corporate and government debt
securities,
loans, high yield, and
investment grade debt and structured products,
such as mortgage and other asset-backed
securities, although individual bonds may be the
best-known type of fixed income security. In
general, the fixed income market is volatile and
fixed income securities carry interest rate risk.
(As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall,
and vice versa. This effect is usually more
pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed
inflation risk,
income securities also carry
liquidity risk, call risk, and credit and default risks
for both issuers and counterparties. The risk of
default on treasury inflation protected/inflation
is dependent upon the U.S.
linked bonds
Treasury defaulting. Risks of investing in foreign
fixed income securities also include the general
risk of non-U.S. investing described below.
C. Risks of Specific Securities Utilized.

risk of loss using any investment strategy. The

fund’s underlying
involves risks such as liquidity, interest rate,
market, credit, and the risk that a position could
not be closed timely. The purchase or sale of an
option involves the payment or receipt of a
premium by the investor and the corresponding
right or obligation to either purchase or sell the
underlying security, commodity, or other
instrument for a specific price at a certain time
or during a certain period. Purchasing options
involves the risk that the underlying instrument
will not change price in the manner expected so
the investor loses their premium. Selling options
involves the possibility of greater risk because
the investor is exposed to the extent of the
actual price movement in the underlying security
rather than only the premium payment received,
which could result in a potentially unlimited loss.

Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation
or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics.
From time to time, representatives of JaxWealth
buy or sell securities for themselves that they
also recommend to a client. This provides an
opportunity for representatives of JaxWealth to
buy or sell the same securities before or after
recommending the same securities to a client
resulting in representatives profiting off the
recommendations they provide to the client.
Such transactions create a conflict of interest.
JaxWealth will document any transactions that
could be construed as conflicts of interest and
will not engage in trading that operates to the
client’s disadvantage when similar securities are
being bought or sold.
D. Trading Securities At/Around the Same Time

The Client is under no obligation to purchase or
sell securities through JaxWealth Financial
Advisors, in their separate capacity as registered
representatives of LPL Financial. However, if the
client chooses to implement an investment plan
through LPL Financial, LPL Financial will earn
commissions in addition to any fees paid for
advisory services. Commissions may be higher or
lower at LPL Financial than other broker-dealers.
Under the rules and regulations of FINRA, LPL
Financial has the obligation to perform certain
supervisory functions regarding certain aspects
of the advisory activities of Independent Advisor
Representatives (“IARs”) who are also registered
representatives of LPL Financial. Registered
representatives may be restricted to offering
those products and services that have been
reviewed and approved for offering to the
public. Because JaxWealth associated persons
are also registered representatives of LPL
Financial, LPL Financial provides compliance and
supervision support to the associated persons of
JaxWealth.
In addition, LPL Financial also
provides the associated persons of JaxWealth,

Custodians
be
recommended based on JaxWealth’s duty to
seek “best execution,” which is the obligation to
seek execution of securities transactions for the
client on the most favorable terms for the client
under the circumstances. The client will not
necessarily pay the
lowest commission or
commission equivalent, and JaxWealth may also
consider the market expertise and research
access provided by the broker-dealer/custodian,
including but not limited to access to written
research, oral communication with analysts,
admittance to research conferences and other
resources provided by the brokers that may aid
in JaxWealth's research efforts. JaxWealth will
not charge a premium or commission on
transactions, beyond the actual cost imposed by
the broker-dealer/custodian.
As previously stated, certain JaxWealth Financial
Advisors are also Registered Representatives of
LPL Financial LLC. Dually registered JaxWealth
Financial Advisors are restricted by certain FINRA
rules and policies from maintaining the client’s
accounts or executing the client’s transactions in
such client accounts through any broker-dealer
or custodian that
is not approved by LPL
Financial. Therefore, trading platforms must be
approved not only by JaxWealth, but also by LPL
Financial.
LPL also makes available to JaxWealth other
products and services that benefit JaxWealth but
may not directly benefit the client’s accounts.
Many of these products and services may be
used to service all or some substantial number of
the client’s accounts, including accounts not
maintained at LPL. LPL’s products and services

JaxWealth receives no referrals from a broker-

broker-dealer or third-party.

party research, and LPL’s proprietary research),
brokerage, custody, and access to mutual funds
and other investments that are available only to
institutional
investors or would require a
significantly higher minimum initial investment.
In addition, LPL makes available software and
other technologies that provide access to client

If JaxWealth buys or sells the same securities on
behalf of more than one client, then it may (but

The Advisor seeks to regularly engage the client
and conduct and document an annual review.
These reviews are provided by Daniel M. Ciez
and/or his
investment advisor
team of
representatives, or the client-specific IAR.
LPL Financial will be the primary broker dealer
and custodian JaxWealth recommends due to
the relationship that its Financial Advisors have
with LPL. LPL limits or restricts the broker dealer
or custodian platforms for LPL registered
representatives (that are also independently
registered) due to LPL's duty to supervise the
transactions implemented by those individuals.
Advisory clients are provided frequent and
regular communication and may receive (via
email or regular mail) newsletters, clients corner,
and potentially ad hoc videos and client letters.
Each of these frequent and regular client touch
points comes with a reminder/invitation for
clients to reach out and schedule a review.
Additionally, through the year, individual IAR's
and/or advisory team members make an
ongoing and continual effort to conduct client
reviews.
Documented reviews can vary in their format
based on what the respective Financial Advisor
deems material. JaxWealth may schedule a
meeting with the client to conduct a review
in person, via telephone, video conference call,
or correspondence at its discretion.
If the client directs JaxWealth to use a specific
firm for brokerage or custodial services or
maintains an account with LPL because their
Financial Advisor is affiliated with LPL, the client
should be aware that there may be brokerage
and execution services available elsewhere at
lower cost. The client should consider whether

firm may result in certain costs or disadvantages,

All financial planning accounts are reviewed
upon financial plan creation and plan delivery by
the JaxWealth team. Financial planning clients
are provided a one-time
financial plan
concerning their financial situation. After the
presentation of the plan, there may or may not
be further reports. The client may request
additional plans or reports for a fee.
B. Factors That Will Trigger a Non-Periodic
Review of Client Accounts.
Some of the JaxWealth Financial Advisors are
registered representatives of LPL Financial LLC, a
registered Broker-Dealer, Member FINRA and
SIPC.
JaxWealth’s associated persons sell
securities in their separate capacity as registered
representatives of LPL Financial. JaxWealth
Financial Advisors suggests that clients place
securities transactions through LPL Financial. If
client transactions are executed through LPL
Financial, then JaxWealth Financial Advisors and
LPL Financial will share the normal commissions
on investments, thus a conflict of interest exists
between the JaxWealth Financial Advisor’s
interests and that of the client. Clients are under
no obligation to purchase products JaxWealth
Financial Advisors may recommend through LPL
Financial or various insurance companies.
Reviews may be triggered by material market,
economic or political events, or by changes in
client's financial situations (such as retirement,
termination of employment, physical move, or
inheritance).
With respect to financial plans, JaxWealth’s
services will generally conclude upon delivery of
the financial plan.

C. Content and Frequency of Regular Reports
Provided to clients.
Each client of JaxWealth's advisory services will
receive a quarterly report detailing the client’s
account, including assets held, asset value, and
Since JaxWealth Financial Advisors receive a
commission on load funds held in non-advisory
accounts, this represents an
incentive to
recommend load funds in favor of funds without
a load. JaxWealth and/or its Financial Advisors
are eligible to receive incentive-based awards
such as trips to LPL Financial Educational
Conferences or
to conferences and
seminars conducted by product sponsors. From
time to time, JaxWealth may receive expense

expenses from distributors of investment and/or

attendance at due diligence and/or investment

Marketing expense reimbursements are typically
the
expense-sharing
informal
arrangements in which product sponsors may
underwrite costs incurred for marketing such as
advertising, publishing and seminar expenses.
Although receipt of these travel and marketing
expense reimbursements are not predicated
upon specific sales quotas, the product sponsor
reimbursements are typically made by those
sponsors for whom sales have been made or it is
anticipated sales will be made. To mitigate this
conflict, JaxWealth makes clients aware of this
conflict prior to engaging it for advisory services.
B. Compensation to Non – Advisory Personnel
for Client Referrals.
JaxWealth provides discretionary investment
advisory services to the client. The advisory
contract established with each client sets forth
the discretionary authority for trading. Where
investment discretion has been granted,
JaxWealth generally manages
the client’s
account and makes
investment decisions
without consultation with the client as to when
the securities are to be bought or sold for the
account, the total amount of the securities to be
bought/sold, what securities to buy or sell, or the
price per share. In some instances, JaxWealth’s
discretionary authority

provided to JaxWealth. JaxWealth reserves the
right to disengage.
JaxWealth does not directly or
indirectly
compensate any person who is not advisory
personnel for client referrals.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
(Proxy Voting)
Item 15: Custody
JaxWealth does not vote proxies on behalf of the
client. Clients will receive proxies or other
solicitations directly from their custodian to take
any action. JaxWealth is available to answer
questions regarding particular solicitations.
The Advisor does not maintain custody of the
client’s assets. The Custodian will send quarterly
account statements to the client. Neither the
Advisor nor its associated persons will accept
delivery of the client’s securities or funds in the
name of the Advisor or its associated person.
