Item 4: Advisory Business
JMH Wealth Management, LLC (hereinafter “JMHW”) is a Limited Liability Company organized
in the State of New Hampshire. The firm was formed in December 2005, and the principal owner
is Jeffrey Marc Harris, Managing Member/Chief Compliance Officer.
JMHW primarily provides customized investment management services to high-net-worth
individuals and associated trusts, estates, and other legal entities. JMHW includes financial planning
within the asset management process when needed. There is no extra charge for this service. JMHW
generally invests client assets in domestic and international stocks, bonds, no load mutual funds,
and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”).
JMHW works with each client to establish an appropriate investment profile. After a series of
initial direct meetings and completion of multiple risk questionnaires, JMHW and each client set
target asset allocation ranges. Clients can impose reasonable restrictions on JMHW’s management
of their accounts.
Written Acknowledgement of Fiduciary Status
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement

operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead
of yours. Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
•

managed $124,093,289on a discretionary basis.

Item 5: Fees and Compensation
JMHW charges most of its clients an annual investment management fee based on the following
schedule:
Assets under management
First $1 Million
Amounts in excess of $1 Million & up to $3 Million
Amounts in excess of $3 Million & up to $5 Million
Amounts in excess of $5 Million & up to $10 Million
Amounts in excess of $10 Million
Annual Fee
1.00%
0.75%
0.60%
0.50%
0.40%
JMHW generally does not waive or negotiate lower fees. Employee accounts are generally not
charged fees.
JMHW charges fees monthly in arrears based on the account value at the end of the prior month.
All clients authorize JMHW to deduct fees automatically from their brokerage accounts.
If a client terminates the investment management agreement, JMHW will not invoice the client for
that month. If a client has not received JMHW’s brochure documents at least 48 hours prior to
signing an agreement, the client may cancel the agreement within five business days of signing the
Client Contract, without penalty.
Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty, for full refund of JMHW’s fees, within five
business days of signing the Investment Advisory Contract. Thereafter, clients may terminate the
Investment Management Contract upon written notice or with verbal notice confirmed in writing,
and the Contract will be terminated the next business day. JMHW does not charge any management
fee for the month in which JMHW has been notified of termination of the agreement.
It is the policy of JMHW to charge fees for any monthly contributions on a pro rata basis based on
the firm’s portfolio management software.
In addition to JMHW’s investment management fees, clients bear trading costs and certain custodial
administrative fees, e.g., wire transfer fees. To the extent that clients’ accounts are invested in no
load mutual funds and/or exchange traded funds, these funds pay a separate layer of management,
trading, and administrative expenses to the custodian, Fidelity Investments and/or the respective
fund company.
Neither JMHW nor its supervised persons accept any compensation for the sale of securities or other
investment products, including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale of mutual
funds.
Item 6: Performance Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
JMHW does not charge any performance fees. Some investment advisers experience conflicts of
interest in connection with the side-by-side management of accounts with different fee structures.
However, these conflicts of interest are not applicable to JMHW.
5
Item 7: Types of Clients
JMHW primarily provides customized investment management services to high-net-worth
individuals and associated trusts, estates, other legal entities. JMHW’s minimum account size is
generally $750,000, but this amount is negotiable.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Jeffrey M Harris conducts fundamental analysis on all securities recommended for client accounts.
This analysis varies depending on the security in question. For stocks and bonds the analysis
generally includes a review of:
• The issuer’s management and financial statements;
• The amount and volatility of past profits or losses;
• The issuer’s assets and liabilities, as well as any material changes from historical norms;
• Prospects for the issuer’s industry, as well as the issuer’s competitive position within that
industry; and
• Any other factors considered relevant.
For mutual funds and ETFs the analysis generally includes a review of:
• The fund’s management team;
• The fund’s historical risk and return characteristics;
• The fund’s exposure to sectors and individual issuers;
• The fund’s fee structure; and
• Any other factors considered relevant.
Fundamental analysis involves the analysis of financial statements, the general financial health of
companies, and/or the analysis of management or competitive advantages. Fundamental analysis
concentrates on factors that determine a company’s value and expected future earnings. This
strategy would normally encourage equity purchases in stocks that are undervalued or priced below
their perceived value. The risk assumed is that the market will fail to reach expectations of perceived
value.
Jeffrey M Harris is JMHW’s Chief Investment Officer and is solely responsible for all investment
decisions on client portfolios. Investments are evaluated independently, as well as in the context of
clients’ existing holdings, sector exposures, asset allocation targets, and risk tolerance. JMHW
primarily invests for relatively long-time horizons, often for a year or more. However, market
developments could cause JMHW to sell securities more quickly. JMHW does not engage in short
6
selling or option writing.
Equity investment generally refers to buying shares of stocks in return for receiving a future payment of
dividends and 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 market conditions and general
economic environments.
Fixed Income investments generally pay a return on a fixed schedule, though the amount of the
payments can vary. This includes corporate and government debt securities, leveraged 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 significant 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 income securities also carry inflation risk, liquidity risk, call risk and credit and default
risks for both issuers and counterparties. The risk of default on treasury inflation protected/inflation
linked bonds is dependent upon the U.S. Treasury defaulting, but these bonds still carry a risk of losing
share price value. Risks of investing in foreign fixed income securities also include the general risks
inherent in non-U.S. investing.
Mutual Funds: Investing in mutual funds carries the risk of capital loss and thus you may lose money
investing in mutual funds. All mutual funds have costs that lower investment returns. The funds can be of
bond (fixed income) nature or stock (equity) nature, or a mix of multiple underlying security types.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs): An ETF is an investment fund traded on stock exchanges, similar to
stocks. Investing in ETFs carries the risk of capital loss (sometimes up to a 100% loss in the case of a
stock holding bankruptcy). Areas of concern include the lack of transparency in products and increasing
complexity, conflicts of interest and the possibility of inadequate regulatory compliance. Because ETFs
use "authorized participants" (APs) as agents to facilitate creations or redemptions (primary market),
there is a risk that an AP decides to no longer participate for a particular ETF; however, that risk is
mitigated by the fact that other APs can step in to fill the vacancy of the withdrawing AP [an ETF
typically has multiple APs] and ETF transactions predominantly take place in the secondary market
without need for an AP. Like other liquid securities, ETF pricing changes throughout the trading day and
there can be no guarantee that an ETF is purchased at the optimal time in terms of market movements.
Moreover, due to market fluctuations, ETF brokerage costs, differing demand and characteristics of
underlying securities, and other factors, the price of an ETF can be lower that the aggregate market price
of its cash and component individual securities (net asset value – NAV). An ETF is subject to the same
market risks as those of its underlying individual securities, and also has internal expenses that can lower
investment returns.
All investing involves a risk of loss. JMHW does not guarantee the future performance of the account or
any specific level of performance, the success of any investment decision or strategy that JMHW may
use, or the success of JMHW's overall management of the account. Client should understand that
investment decisions made for client's account by JMHW are subject to various market, currency,
economic, political and business risks, and that such investment decisions will not always be profitable.
The price of securities can and will fluctuate, and any individual security may become valueless.

Item 9: Disciplinary Information
JMHW and its employees have not been involved in any legal or disciplinary events in the past 10
years.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
JMHW and its employees do not have any relationships or arrangements with other financial
services companies that pose material conflicts of interest.
JMHW does not utilize nor select third party investment advisers.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
JMHW has adopted a written code of ethics that is applicable to all employees. Among other things,
the code requires JMHW and its employees to act in clients’ best interests, abide by all applicable
regulations, avoid even the appearance of insider trading, and pre-clear and report on many types
of personal securities transactions. JMHW’s restrictions on personal securities trading apply to
employees, as well as employees’ family members living in the same household. A copy of
JMHW’s code of ethics is available upon request. Additionally, we adopt and embrace the CFA
Institute’s Code of Ethics, Standards of Professional Conduct and Asset Manager Code of
Professional Conduct in their entirety
JMHW’s employees are generally permitted to trade alongside client accounts as long as they
receive the average price that is applicable to clients and pay their share of any transaction costs.
However, no employees are allowed to participate in partially filled orders until all clients’ orders
have been filled. The Chief Compliance Officer monitors employee trading, relative to client
trading, to ensure that employees do not engage in improper transactions.
JMHW does not recommend that clients buy or sell any security in which JMHW or a related person
has a material financial interest.
JMHW maintains a watch list of securities that are being considered for client accounts, as well as
securities already held in client accounts. Any proposed employee transaction involving securities
on the watch list requires preclearance from the Chief Compliance Officer. The Chief Compliance
Officer does not grant preclearance where it would appear that an employee’s trading could
disadvantage JMHW’s clients.
Under certain circumstances an employee might invest in a security that is not considered suitable
for client accounts because of size, liquidity, or other factors. A change in these factors could result
in the security becoming more suitable for clients, but the Chief Compliance Officer might not allow
the security to be purchased for client accounts in order to avoid even the appearance of employees
trading ahead of clients. In JMHW’s experience, it is rare for an employee’s personal trading to
limit clients’ investment opportunities, but such a situation may arise from time to time.
8
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
JMHW generally recommends that clients arrange for their assets to be held with Fidelity
Investments (“Fidelity”). JMHW has managed client assets held at Fidelity for many years and has
found Fidelity to offer good services at competitive prices.
Soft Dollar Benefits
JMHW has no soft dollar arrangements.
As a result of Fidelity’s role as custodian, JMHW receives the following services:
• The receipt of duplicate client confirmations, statements, and other account information;
• Direct advisory fee debiting capabilities;
• Access to an electronic network for order entry, including the simultaneous entry of trades
on behalf of multiple client accounts;
• A portfolio management system and software that supports JMHW’s research processes.
Fidelity does not pay for JMHW employees’ travel and accommodation costs in connection with
industry conferences.
JMHW does not believe that clients whose accounts are held by Fidelity bear any additional costs
in connection with JMHW’s receipt of the products and services. Furthermore, Fidelity provision
of these products and services is not contingent upon JMHW formally committing any specific
amount of business to Fidelity. However, JMHW would not receive these products and services if
client accounts were not held in custody and traded by Fidelity. JMHW’s receipt of these products
and services creates a conflict of interest in connection with JMHW’s recommendation of Fidelity.
The Selection of Trading Counterparties
JMHW can typically trade accounts held at Fidelity using other broker/dealers. Fidelity does not
charge clients trade-away fees.
JMHW requires clients to use Fidelity and does not allow directed brokerage. Not all firms require
clients to use one custodian.
Best Execution Reviews
On at least an annual basis JMHW’s Chief Compliance Officer and other employees evaluate the
pricing and services offered by Fidelity. JMHW has sought to make a good-faith determination that
Fidelity and other chosen trading counterparties provide clients with good services at competitive
prices. However, clients should be aware that this determination could have been influenced by
JMHW’s receipt of products and services from Fidelity. Historically JMHW has concluded that
Fidelity is as good as, or better than, the other firms that have been considered. JMHW would notify
its clients if it were to determine that another firm offered better pricing and services than Fidelity.
JMHW may have a potential conflict between the client's interest in obtaining best execution and
the JMHW receiving future referrals from the broker or dealer.
9
Aggregated Trades
JMHW often aggregates client trades in an effort to treat all clients fairly. Clients participating in a
block order receive the same average price and incur trading costs that are the same as would be
paid if they were trading individually. Employees may be included side-by-side in block client
trades. If an order is partially filled, clients will have their orders fully filled on a randomized basis;
JMHW will seek to complete any unfilled client orders on the next trading day. Employees are
excluded from block trades whenever client orders are only partially filled.
When trading accounts through Fidelity, JMHW may choose to place smaller trades ahead of larger
trades when the smaller trades are not expected to materially affect the price or liquidity of the
security in question.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Accounts under JMHW’s management are monitored on an ongoing basis by Jeffrey M Harris and
Cole E. Harris. Companies held in client portfolios are monitored on a daily basis for changes in
competitiveness, management, financial condition, and profitability. Portfolios are also monitored
for exposure asset classes and industry sectors. Reviews of client accounts will also be triggered if
a client changes his or her investment objectives, or if the market, political, or economic
environment changes materially.
Clients receive account statements directly from their chosen custodian on at least a monthly basis.
JMHW may supplement these custodial statements with reports provided during client meetings or
as requested.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
JMHW does not pay any referral fees or compensate Fidelity, any other custodian, broker/dealer or
individual for referring client accounts.
Other than the previously described products and services that JMHW receives from Fidelity,
JMHW does not receive any other economic benefits from non-clients in connection with the
provision of investment advice to clients.
Item 15: Custody
(A) When it deducts fees directly from client accounts at a selected custodian, JMHW will be deemed to
have limited custody of client’s assets and must have written authorization from the client to do so. Clients
will receive all account statements and billing invoices that are required in each jurisdiction, and they
should carefully review those statements for accuracy.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
JMHW provides discretionary investment advisory services to clients. The Investment Advisory
Contract established with each client outlines the discretionary authority for trading. Where
investment discretion has been granted, JMHW generally manages the client’s account and makes
investment decisions without consultation with the client as to what securities to buy or sell, when
the securities are to be bought or sold for the account, the total amount of the securities to be
bought/sold, or the price per share. In some instances, JMHW’s discretionary authority in making
these determinations may be limited by conditions imposed by a client (in investment guidelines or
10
objectives, or client instructions otherwise provided to JMHW).
JMHW will also have discretionary authority to determine the broker dealer to be used for a
purchase or sale of securities for a client's account.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
In accordance with its fiduciary duty to clients and Rule 206(4)-6 of the Investment Advisers Act,
JMHW has adopted and implemented written policies and procedures governing the voting of client
securities. All proxies that JMHW receives will be treated in accordance with these policies and
procedures.
JMHW considers the reputation, experience, and competence of a company’s management and
board of directors when it evaluates a prospective investment. In general, JMHW votes in favor of
routine corporate matters, such as the re-approval of an auditor or a change of a legal entity’s name.
JMHW also generally votes in favor of compensation practices and other measures that are in-line
with industry norms, that allow companies to attract and retain key employees and directors, that
reward long-term performance, and that align the interests of management and shareholders.
JMHW has not identified any material conflicts of interest in connection with past proxy votes.
Such a conflict could arise if, for example, a client was a senior executive with a publicly traded
company and other clients held securities issued by that company. Absent specific client
instructions, if JMHW identifies a material conflict of interest it will follow the voting
recommendation of the independent corporate governance consulting firm that it has retained.
A copy of JMHW’s proxy voting policies and procedures, as well as specific information about how
JMHW has voted in the past, is available upon written request. Upon written request, clients can
also take responsibility for voting their own proxies, or can give JMHW instructions about how to
vote their respective shares.
Item 18: Financial Information
JMHW has never filed for bankruptcy and is not aware of any financial condition that is expected
to affect its ability to manage client accounts.
JMHW neither requires nor solicits prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months
or more in advance and therefore does not need to include a balance sheet with this brochure.

Jeffrey M. Harris’ Biographical Information
Item 2: Educational Background and Business Experience
Mr. Harris was born in 1955. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree, Economics, from the
University of Pittsburgh in 1977 and a Masters in Business Administration, Finance and
Investments, from The George Washington University in 1984.
Mr. Harris received the Chartered Financial Analyst® (“CFA”) designation in 1993.
The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charter is a globally respected, graduate-level investment
credential established in 1962 and awarded by CFA Institute — the largest global association of
investment professionals. There are currently more than 160,000 CFA charterholders working in
160 countries. In order to become a CFA Charterholder, Mr. Harris was required to pass a series
of three sequential examinations, maintain membership with the CFA Institute and a local CFA
chapter, and agree to abide by the CFA Institute’s Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional
Conduct.
High Ethical Standards
The CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct, enforced through an
active professional conduct program, require CFA charterholders to:
• Place their clients’ interests ahead of their own
• Maintain independence and objectivity
• Act with integrity
• Maintain and improve their professional competence
• Disclose conflicts of interest and legal matters
Global Recognition
Passing the three CFA exams is a difficult feat that requires extensive study (successful candidates
report spending an average of 300 hours of study per level). Earning the CFA charter
demonstrates mastery of many of the advanced skills needed for investment analysis and decision
making in today’s quickly evolving global financial industry. As a result, employers and clients
are increasingly seeking CFA charterholders—often making the charter a prerequisite for
employment.
Additionally, regulatory bodies in 19 countries recognize the CFA charter as a proxy for meeting
certain licensing requirements, and more than 125 colleges and universities around the world have
incorporated a majority of the CFA Program curriculum into their own finance courses.
Comprehensive and Current Knowledge
The CFA Program curriculum provides a comprehensive framework of knowledge for investment
decision making and is firmly grounded in the knowledge and skills used every day in the
investment profession. The three levels of the CFA Program test a proficiency with a wide range
of fundamental and advanced investment topics, including ethical and professional standards,
fixed-income and equity analysis, alternative and derivative investments, economics, financial
reporting standards, portfolio management, and wealth planning.
The CFA recommends members complete a minimum of 20 hours of continuing education
activities, including a minimum of two hours in the content areas of Standards, Ethics, and
Regulations (SER) each calendar year.

individuals must complete a training program, successfully pass a comprehensive, closed-book
final examination under the supervision of a proctor and agree to abide by the AIF Code of Ethics.
In order to maintain the AIF designation, the individual must annually renew their affirmation of
the AIF Code of Ethics and complete six hours of continuing education credits. The certification
is administered by the Center for Fiduciary Studies, LLC
Mr. Harris holds the Certified Private Wealth Advisorsm designation since 2009, administered by
Investments and Wealth Institutesm and taught in conjunction with The University of Chicago
Booth School of Business.

education, and examination requirements for the professional designation, which is centered on

requirements, an in-class education component, and successful completion of a comprehensive
examination. CPWA designees are required to adhere to IMCA’s Code of Professional
Responsibility and Rules and Guidelines for Use of the Marks. CPWA designees must report 40
hours of continuing education credits, including two ethics hours, every two years to maintain the
certification. The designation is administered through the Investments and Wealth Institute (IWI).
