Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Kukui Tree Capital Management LLC (“Kukui Tree” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) under the laws
of the State of California. Kukui Tree was founded in February 2024 and is owned and operated by Warren Jackson
(President, Founder and Chief Compliance Officer). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the
qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by Kukui Tree.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Kukui Tree offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, and estates (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. Kukui Tree'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 Services
Kukui Tree provides customized wealth management services for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous
personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management services and a broad
range of comprehensive financial planning. These services are listed below.
Investment Management Services – Kukui Tree provides discretionary investment management services. The
Advisor works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals, objectives, risk tolerance and financial
situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. The Advisor will then construct an investment portfolio primarily
consisting of individual stocks, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds, bonds, option contracts, alternative
investments or real estate investment trusts 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.
Kukui Tree’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.
The Advisor 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.
Kukui Tree evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. The Advisor may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the
portfolio. The Advisor 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. The Advisor 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.
Use of Independent Managers – Kukui Tree will recommend that Clients utilize one or more unaffiliated investment
managers or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a portion of a Client’s investment
portfolio, based on the Client’s needs and objectives. The Advisor will perform initial and ongoing oversight and due
diligence over each Independent Manager to ensure the strategy remains aligned with Client’s investment objectives
and overall best interests. The Advisor will also assist the Client in the development of the initial policy
recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. The Advisor will ensure that each Independent
Manager is properly licensed, notice filed, or exempt from registration. The Client will be provided with the

Page 4
Independent Manager's Form ADV Part 2A - Disclosure Brochure (or a brochure that makes the appropriate
disclosures).
Retirement Accounts – When Kukui Tree 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.
At no time will Kukui Tree 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.
Participant Account Management – The Advisor may use a third-party platform, Pontera Solutions, Inc. (“Pontera”),
to access, aggregate, or manage certain client accounts that are held away from the Advisor’s primary custodians,
such as employer-sponsored retirement plans or other externally maintained accounts. These platforms allow
clients to grant the Advisor authorized access to account information and, where permitted, limited account
management capabilities.
Access to such accounts is provided solely at the client’s direction and subject to the permissions granted by the
client through the third-party platform. Recommendations to have assets managed through a third-party platform
pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the Client. Assets managed through a third-
party platform increases 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 have the Advisor manage held-away assets by the
Advisor.
Financial Planning Services – Kukui Tree provides a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients
as part of its wealth management services. 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.
Kukui Tree 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

2625 Middlefield Road, Suite 476, Palo Alto, CA 94306
Phone: 650-434-0488
http://www.kukuitreecapital.com/
Page 5
recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through the
Advisor.
Pursuant to California Code of Regulations Section 260.238(k), the Advisor has disclosed all material conflicts of
interests that could reasonably be expected to impair the rendering of unbiased and objective advice.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Kukui Tree to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into an
agreement 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 – Kukui Tree, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that
seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Kukui Tree 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 – Kukui Tree will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated
goals and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – Kukui Tree will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Kukui Tree does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are
provided directly by Kukui Tree.
E. Assets Under Management
As of June 16, 2026, Kukui Tree manages approximately $105,200,000 in Client assets, of which $89,200,000 are
managed on a discretionary basis and $16,000,000 on a non-discretionary basis. Clients may request more current
information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into a written
agreement with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the wealth
management agreement. Wealth management fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the
end of the prior calendar quarter. Wealth management fees are based on the following blended tier schedule:
Annual Rate (%)
Assets Under Management ($)
Up to $2,000,000
$2,000,000.01 to $5,000,000
$5,000,000.01 to $10,000,000
$10,000,000.01 to $20,000,000
$20,000,000.01 to $30,000,000
$30,000,000.01 and above
0.90%
0.80%
0.70%
0.50%
0.40%
0.30%
The wealth management 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
Kukui Tree Capital Management LLC
2625 Middlefield Road, Suite 476, Palo Alto, CA 94306
Phone: 650-434-0488
http://www.kukuitreecapital.com/
Page 6
Kukui Tree 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.
Use of Independent Managers
As noted in Item 4, the Advisor may implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio utilizing one or more
Independent Managers. To eliminate any conflict of interest, the Advisor does not earn any compensation from an
Independent Manager. The Advisor will only earn its investment advisory fee as described above. The Advisor will
allocate a portion of the advisory fee collected to the Independent Manager pursuant to the terms of the executed
agreement between the Advisor and the Independent Manager. The total blended fee, including the Advisor’s fee and
the Independent Manager’s fee, will not exceed 3.00% annually.
Pursuant to California Code of Regulations Section 260.238(j), the Advisor discloses that the Client may be able to
obtain similar services from other services providers for a lower fee.
Third-Party Access Platforms
For assets managed through a third-party platform, the Client is not charged any additional platform fees. The
Advisor bears the cost of the platform in order to service these Client assets. Advisory fees apply to assets
accessed and managed through the platform as part of the Client’s assets under management, as disclosed above.
B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are calculated by the Advisor 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 Kukui Tree 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 Kukui Tree 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.
Use of Independent Managers
For Client accounts implemented through an Independent Manager, the Client’s overall fees may include the Advisor’s
investment advisory fee (as noted above) plus investment management fees and/or platform fees charged by the
Independent Manager[s], as applicable. In certain instances, the Independent Manager or the Advisor may assume
responsibility for calculating the Client’s fees and deduct all fees from the Client’s account[s].
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties in connection with investments made on behalf of
the Client’s account[s], including fees for assets managed through a third-party platform. 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 Kukui Tree are separate and
distinct from these custody and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to Kukui Tree 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 Kukui Tree, but would

http://www.kukuitreecapital.com/
Page 7
not receive the services provided by Kukui Tree 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 Kukui Tree 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
Wealth Management Services
Kukui Tree may be compensated for its wealth 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.
Use of Independent Managers
In the event that the Advisor has determined that an Independent Manager is no longer in the Client’s best interest, the
Advisor will have the discretion to terminate the relationship with the Independent Manager. The terms for termination
are set forth in the respective agreements between the Advisor and the Independent Managers.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Kukui Tree 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
Kukui Tree does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by Kukui
Tree are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held
by any Client.
Kukui Tree 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
Kukui Tree offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, and estates. Kukui
Tree generally does not impose a minimum relationship size.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Kukui Tree primarily employs a fundamental analysis method in developing investment strategies for its Clients.
Research and analysis from Kukui Tree 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
Kukui Tree Capital Management LLC
2625 Middlefield Road, Suite 476, Palo Alto, CA 94306
Phone: 650-434-0488
http://www.kukuitreecapital.com/
Page 8
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.
As noted above, Kukui Tree generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their
financial goals. Kukui Tree 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, Kukui Tree 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.
Use of Independent Managers
Kukui Tree will perform initial due diligence over each Independent Manager to ensure the investment strategy,
performance, and overall cost is aligned with the Client’s investment objectives and overall best interests. The Advisor
will conduct ongoing oversight and performance monitoring of each Independent Manager to ensure that their
investment methods align with the above.
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. Kukui Tree 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.
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
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
Kukui Tree Capital Management LLC

Phone: 650-434-0488

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.
Alternative Investments (Limited Partnerships)
The performance of alternative investments (limited partnerships) can be volatile and may have limited liquidity. An
investor could lose all or a portion of their investment. Such investments often have concentrated positions and
investments that may carry higher risks. Client should only have a portion of their assets in these investments.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”)
Investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) involves certain distinct risks in addition to those risks associated
with investing in the real estate industry in general. For Example, equity REITs may be affected by changes in the
value of the underlying property owned by the REITs, while mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of credit
extended. REITs are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers and self-liquidation. REITs,
especially mortgage REITs, are also subject to interest rate risk (i.e., as interest rates rise, the value of the REIT may
decline).
Private Funds and Privately Placed Investment Vehicles
The Advisor recommends that certain clients invest in privately placed collective investment vehicles (e.g., hedge
funds, private equity funds, private credit funds, etc.). The managers of these vehicles have broad discretion in
selecting the investments. There are few limitations on the types of securities or other financial instruments which
may be traded and no requirement to diversify. Hedge funds may trade on margin or otherwise leverage positions,
thereby potentially increasing the risk to the vehicle. In addition, because the vehicles are not registered as investment
companies, there is an absence of regulation. There are numerous other risks in investing in these securities. Clients
should consult each fund's private placement memorandum and/or other documents explaining such risks prior to
investing.
Independent Manager Risks
The Advisor may select certain Independent Managers to manage a portion of the Client’s portfolio. The Advisor will
conduct due diligence, monitor the performance and adherence to the investment mandates and objectives on the
selected Independent Managers. However, the Advisor will not have an active role in the day-to-day management of
this portion of the Client’s portfolio. A failure by an Independent Manager’s ability to successfully implement its model,
strategies and/or management of assets could result in a negative impact on the Client’s overall investment portfolio.
The performance may also be impacted by market conditions. Legal and compliance risk may also impact the
independent manager and its ability to manage client assets.
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 Kukui Tree or its owner. Neither Kukui Tree nor
its owner has been subject to any criminal or civil actions, administrative proceedings, or self-regulatory organization
(SRO) proceedings. Kukui Tree 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# 330374.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
A. Broker-Dealer Affiliation
Neither the Advisor nor its management person have any active or pending registrations or affiliations with a broker-
dealer.
B. Futures Merchant
Neither the Advisor nor its management person have any active or pending registrations or affiliations with a futures
commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity-trading advisor.
C. Material Relationships
Neither the Advisor nor its management person have material relationships or arrangements that are material to the
Advisor’s business or to Clients.
D. Selection of Other Advisors
As noted in Item 4, the Advisor may implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio with one or more
Independent Managers. The Advisor does not receive any compensation nor does this present a material conflict of
interest. The Advisor will only earn its investment advisory fee as described in Item 5.A. The Advisor ensures that all
Independent Managers are properly licensed or registered as an investment advisor.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Kukui Tree 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 Kukui Tree (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was developed
to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to each Client. Kukui
Tree and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation
of Kukui Tree’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. A copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided to any Client or prospective client upon request. To request a
copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at 650-434-0488.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Neither Kukui Tree nor a related person recommends to Clients, or buys or sells for Client accounts, securities in
which the Advisor or a related person has a material financial interest. Kukui Tree allows Supervised Persons to
purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Kukui Tree
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.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Kukui Tree 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

Page 11
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 Kukui Tree 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 Kukui Tree 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 Kukui Tree, or any Supervised Person of Kukui Tree, transact in any security to the detriment of
any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Kukui Tree 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 Kukui Tree to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement.
Further, Kukui Tree does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a
trade-by-trade basis.
Where Kukui Tree 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 Kukui Tree
However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is not engaged.
Kukui Tree 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.
The Advisor 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”. The Advisor maintains an institutional relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives economic
benefits. Please see Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation 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. Kukui Tree 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 - Kukui Tree does not receive client referrals from a broker-dealer/custodian or third party.
The Advisor 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 Kukui Tree 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]). Kukui Tree 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.

Page 12
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. Kukui Tree will execute its transactions through the Custodian
as authorized by the Client. Kukui Tree 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 Warren Jackson, Chief Compliance
Officer of Kukui Tree. 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 Kukui Tree 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 Kukui Tree
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
Kukui Tree has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a
division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like Kukui Tree. As a registered investment
advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, Kukui Tree 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
Kukui Tree Capital Management LLC
2625 Middlefield Road, Suite 476, Palo Alto, CA 94306
Phone: 650-434-0488
http://www.kukuitreecapital.com/
Page 13
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 Kukui Tree 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. Kukui Tree 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
Kukui Tree 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 Kukui
Tree. 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 Kukui Tree will be in accordance with each Client's investment
objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Kukui Tree does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements directly
from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client retains the
sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Kukui Tree, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the
ability of Kukui Tree to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Kukui Tree, nor any of its Advisory Persons, have
been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Kukui Tree 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.
