Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
J.K. Financial, Inc. (“J.K. Financial” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Advisor is organized as a Corporation under the laws of the State of Texas. J.K.
Financial was founded in 1995 and is owned and operated by John Kvale (President and Chief Compliance
Officer). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the
advisory services provided by J.K. Financial.
B. Advisory Services Offered
J.K. Financial offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
businesses, and charitable organizations (each referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the 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. J.K. Financial's fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For
more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in
Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Wealth Management
J.K. Financial provides wealth management services for its Clients. These services generally include a broad range
of comprehensive financial planning in connection with discretionary investment management of Client portfolios.
These services are described below.
Investment Management
J.K. Financial provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through
continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and
related advisory services. J.K. Financial works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and
objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. J.K. Financial will
then construct an investment portfolio, consisting of low-cost, diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded
funds (“ETFs”) to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize individual stocks, bonds or
options contracts to meet the needs of its Clients. The Advisor may retain other types of investments from the
Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as
identified between the Advisor and the Client.
J.K. Financial’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate
positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market
conditions. J.K. Financial 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.
J.K. Financial evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. J.K. Financial may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the
portfolio. J.K. Financial 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.
J.K. Financial 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 the Client, generating cash to meet
Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
At no time will J.K. Financial accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited
authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the
Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.

Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement
accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will
provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the
assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to
another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account
to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or
increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a
retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
Financial Planning Services
J.K. Financial typically provides financial planning services to Clients as part of its overall wealth management
services. J.K. Financial may also provide financial planning services on a standalone basis pursuant to a written
financial planning agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on
their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or
rendering a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or
consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement
planning, personal savings, education savings, and other areas of a Client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client 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.
J.K. Financial may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique
situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the 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 (6) months of contract date,
assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for
investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would
increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any
recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to
act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the
transaction through the Advisor.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging J.K. Financial to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or
more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor
and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – J.K. Financial, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy
that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – J.K. Financial will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – J.K. Financial will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the
stated goals and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – J.K. Financial will provide investment management and
ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.

D. Wrap Fee Programs
J.K. Financial does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services
are provided directly by J.K. Financial.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, J.K. Financial manages $195,811,000 in Client assets, all of which are managed 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 engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into a written
agreement with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the
investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the market value of assets under
management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Investment advisory fees range from 0.50% to 1.75% annually
based on several factors, including: the scope and complexity of the services to be provided; the level of assets to be
managed; and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific reporting
requirements, portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee.
The investment advisory fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the 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 the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by
J.K. Financial will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the
Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and other
related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor
shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Financial Planning Services
J.K. Financial offers financial planning services at an hourly rate of up to $250 per hour. Fees may be negotiable
based on the nature and complexity of the services to be provided and the overall relationship with the Advisor. An
estimate for total hours and overall costs will be provided to the Client prior to engaging for these services.
B. Fee Billing
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the
Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted from
the Client’s account[s] at the beginning of the respective quarter. The amount due is calculated by applying the
quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management with J.K. Financial 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 are urged to also review and compare the statement provided by the Advisor to
the brokerage statement from the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform a verification of fees. Clients provide
written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by J.K. Financial to be paid directly from their account[s]
held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate account forms provided by the
Custodian.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning fees may be invoiced up to fifty percent (50%) of the expected total fee upon execution of the
financial planning agreement. The balance shall be invoiced upon completion of the agreed upon deliverable[s].

C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than J.K. Financial, in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and securities
execution fees charged by the Custodian, as applicable. The Advisor's recommended Custodian does not charge
securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in a Client's account, provided that the account meets the
terms and conditions of the Custodian's brokerage requirements. However, the Custodian typically charges for
mutual funds and other types of investments. The fees charged by J.K. Financial are separate and distinct from
these custody and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to J.K. Financial 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, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a
possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of J.K.
Financial, but would not receive the services provided by J.K. Financial which are designed, among other things, to
assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial situation
and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by
J.K. Financial to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for
additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Investment Management Services
J.K. Financial may be compensated for its investment management services in advance of the quarter in which
services are rendered. Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing
advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment advisory agreement within five
(5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will
incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and
payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid investment advisory 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.
Financial Planning Services
J.K. Financial requires an advance deposit as described above. Either party may terminate the financial planning
agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the
financial planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client.
After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of
termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Client shall be billed for actual
hours logged on the planning project times the contractual hourly rate. The Client’s financial planning agreement with
the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
J.K. Financial does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for
securities transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
J.K. Financial does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by
J.K. Financial are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or
securities held by any Client.
J.K. Financial does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual
fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its Clients.

Item 7 – Types of Clients
J.K. Financial offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
businesses, and charitable organizations. J.K. Financial generally requires a minimum relationship size of
$1,000,000 to effectively implement its investment process, which may be waived at the Advisor’s sole discretion.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
J.K. Financial primarily employs a fundamental and technical analysis methods in developing investment strategies
for its Clients. Research and analysis from J.K. Financial are derived from numerous sources, including financial
media companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities, including
annual reports, prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. This criteria
consists generally of ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being
analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment with
a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment,
it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in
the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors
these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the
Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in determining the
recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts to identify market patterns and
trends, which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. The primary risk
in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if
the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that J.K. Financial will be able to accurately predict such a
reoccurrence.
As noted above, J.K. Financial generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with
their financial goals. J.K. Financial will typically hold all or a portion of 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, J.K.
Financial 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.
B. 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. J.K. Financial 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. Please see Item 8.B. for risks associated with the Advisor’s investment
strategies as well as general risks of investing.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the
investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may
lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to
determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are
included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
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[s]. 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
J.K. Financial, Inc.

Page 8
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. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk
based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs has a large bid-
ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may
dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased
or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.
Bond Risks
Bonds are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e. the risk that bond prices will fall
if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to maturity, and the coupon
rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e. the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower rate than
was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e. the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at a rate that
exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk, i.e. the risk
associated with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the company defaulting on its
repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e. the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the
company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6) Liquidity
Risks, i.e. the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the bond.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the
mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual
fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same
price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Options Contracts
Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of time. Option contracts
are leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single contract to control many shares of an underlying stock.
This leverage can compound gains or losses.
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 J.K. Financial or its owner [OR] management
persons. J.K. Financial values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the
requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor
or Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov
by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 114929.

Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
The sole business of J.K. Financial and John Kvale is to provide investment advisory services to its Clients. Neither
J.K. Financial nor its Advisory Persons are involved in other business endeavors. J.K. Financial does not maintain
any affiliations with other firms, other than contracted service providers to assist with the servicing of its Client’s
accounts.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
J.K. Financial has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to
each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with J.K. Financial (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was
developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to each
Client. J.K. Financial and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client.
It is the obligation of J.K. Financial’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code,
but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address employee
ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at (214) 706-4300 or via
email at info@jkfinancialinc.com.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
J.K. Financial allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. J.K. Financial 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. J.K. Financial does not have a
material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
J.K. Financial allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients
presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and
procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public
information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When
trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The
fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can 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 conducting a coordinated review of personal accounts and the accounts of the Clients. The Advisor
has also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While J.K. Financial allows 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 J.K. Financial, or any Supervised Person of J.K. Financial, transact in any security to the
detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
J.K. Financial does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and execution
services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client assets
and authorize J.K. Financial to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory
agreement. Further, J.K. Financial does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of
Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where J.K. Financial does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the
Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended

Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a custodian not
recommended by J.K. Financial. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the
recommended Custodian is not engaged. J.K. Financial may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as,
but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, and
its reputation and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices.
J.K. Financial will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
(“Schwab”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Schwab will serve as the Client’s “qualified
custodian”. J.K. Financial maintains an institutional relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives
economic benefits from Schwab (Please see Item 14 below.)
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor
enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and
other services. J.K. Financial does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any
broker-dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian.
Please see Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - J.K. Financial does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with
the recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where J.K. Financial will place
trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are
traded within their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any
security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a
security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). J.K. Financial will not be obligated to select
competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction
costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian.
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 the order, 3) difficulty of execution,
4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. J.K. Financial will execute its transactions through the
Custodian as authorized by the Client. J.K. Financial may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when
securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading
day. 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 any
particular Clients’ accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by John Kvale, Chief Compliance
Officer of J.K. Financial. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently depending on
the needs of the Client.
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. Reviews may be conducted more 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 J.K. Financial 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 J.K. Financial
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
J.K. Financial has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit,
a division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like J.K. Financial. As a registered investment
advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, J.K. Financial receives access to software and
related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that maintain
assets at Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor and many, but not all
services provided by Schwab will benefit Clients. 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 this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of
investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through
Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be able
to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds and
other investments without having to adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the Client were to
directly access the investments.
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to technology,
research, discounts and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for Client accounts,
the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back office support services as part of its relationship with
Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for its Clients, but may
not directly benefit all Clients.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services to J.K. Financial that may not
benefit the Client, including: educational conferences and events, financial start-up support, consulting services and
discounts for various service providers. Access to these services creates a financial incentive for the Advisor to
recommend Schwab, which results in a potential conflict of interest. J.K. Financial believes, however, that the
selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for Client
referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
The Advisor is authorized to deduct its fees from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Client must place all
assets with a “qualified custodian”. The Client is required to engage the Custodian to retain all funds and securities
and direct the Advisor to utilize that Custodian for security transactions in the account[s]. The Client should review
statements provided by the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For more information about
custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.

Item 16 – Investment Discretion
J.K. Financial 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 J.K. Financial. 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 J.K. Financial will be in accordance with
each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
The Advisor has the authority to vote Client proxies. The Advisor has adopted proxy-voting guidelines to vote
alongside with the management of the companies, seeking to ensure votes are made in the best interest of the
Advisor's Clients. Furthermore, it is understood that any material conflicts between the Advisor’s interests and
Clients with regard to proxy voting must be resolved before proxies are voted. Clients of the Advisor may obtain
upon request a copy of our Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures and a record of how the Advisor voted a Client’s
securities by contacting the Advisor at (214) 706-4300.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither J.K. Financial, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the
ability of J.K. Financial to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither J.K. Financial, nor any of its Advisory Persons,
have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. J.K. Financial is not required to deliver a balance sheet
along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for services to
be performed six months or more in the future.
