Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
LEVATUS LLC (“LEVATUS” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) under the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. LEVATUS was founded in March 2017 as The Nexus Partnership LLC. In
July 2017, The Advisor amended its name to LEVATUS. The Advisor is owned by the Nexus Group LLC and is
operated by Susan E. Dahl (Managing Member and Chief Compliance Officer). This Disclosure Brochure
provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by
LEVATUS.
B. Advisory Services Offered
LEVATUS offers 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. LEVATUS’ 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 Advisory Services
LEVATUS provides Clients with wealth advisory services, which generally includes a broad range of
comprehensive financial planning and consulting services in connection with discretionary and non-discretionary
management of investment portfolios and related advisory services. Through these services the Advisor serves
as the point of contact for financial coordination, investment management and administrative support for Clients.
These services are described below.
Investment Management Services – LEVATUS provides investment advisory solutions for its Clients. LEVATUS
will make investment recommendations only after discussions with Clients on their investment goals and
objectives, personal priorities and values, as well as risk tolerance and financial situation. After a thorough
discussion with the Client, LEVATUS constructs a portfolio for each Client, which will consist of individual stocks,
bonds, or options contracts to achieve the Client’s investment goals. LEVATUS may also utilize low-cost,
diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) if it is in the Client’s best interest. For certain
Clients, the Advisor may utilize real estate investment trusts or alternative investments depending on the Client’s
risk profile. 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.
LEVATUS’s investment approach is 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 investment process is direct and specific, focusing on variables that give insight into each assets
ability to successfully meet the goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client.
LEVATUS will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio based on these insights and updates to the Client’s
financial condition. 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.
LEVATUS evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios after discussing an investment
strategy with the Client. LEVATUS may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to
diversify the portfolio or more directly target client priorities. LEVATUS 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. LEVATUS 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 LEVATUS 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 designated account[s] at their
the Custodian (2), pursuant to the terms of the wealth 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.
Wealth Counsel – LEVATUS provides services that address wholistc finanical needs, with an approach that
formally connects client values and priorities with overalll strategy. As part of this holistic advisory service,
LEVATUS will typically provide comprehensive financial planning, as well as consulting services to Clients,
pursuant to the wealth advisory agreement. These services cover a broad range of topics and may vary
depending on the client’s goals, financial situation, and priorities. Generally, such financial planning will be
tailored to each Client’s needs, including, but not limited to investment planning, retirement planning, personal
savings, education savings, cash flow planning and philanthropic planning.
At the core of the financial plan is a rigorous, analytical risk tolerance assessment, with a thoughtful review of
existing holdings and a comprehensive assessment of tax and estate status. The specific costs associated with
existing holdings are analyzed in detail as to their quality and fit at the start of each relationship. The financial
plan developed for the Client will usually include general recommendations for a course of activity, specific
actions to be taken by the Client and Advisor, and draft Strategy Roadmap which formalizes the path forward.
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.
LEVATUS may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique
situation. The Advisor will coordinate with these specialists in order to provide a comprehensive approach to the
wealth advisory services. For certain engagements, the Advisor may also provide a written summary of the
Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging LEVATUS to provide advisory services, each Client is required to enter into a wealth advisory
agreement with the Advisor that defines the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and
the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – LEVATUS, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy
that seeks to achieve the Client’s investment goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – LEVATUS will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk of each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – LEVATUS will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the
stated goals and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – LEVATUS will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.

D. Wrap Fee Programs
LEVATUS does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Wealth advisory services are
provided directly by LEVATUS.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, LEVATUS manages $151,799,856 in Client assets, $126,311,149 of which are
managed on a discretionary basis and $25,488,707 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 Advisory Services
Wealth advisory fees are billed quarterly, in advance and in arrears. Wealth advisory fees are paid two times per
year pursuant to the terms of the wealth advisory agreement. Wealth advisory fees may be charged as a flat
engagement fee ranging from $10,000 to $250,000 annually, or based on the market value of assets under
management on June 30th and December 31st. Asset based fees range from 0.25% to 1.25% annually.
Wealth advisory fees are based on several factors, including: the 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. Please
note, the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $500 or more for services to be performed six (6) months or
more in the future.
The wealth 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, as well as the complexity of overall
financial situation and needs. All securities held in accounts managed by LEVATUS 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.
B. Fee Billing
Wealth Advisory Services
Wealth 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 semi-annually, indicating the amount of the fees to
be deducted from the Client’s account[s]. Clients may also opt to pay the fee from an account other than their
account[s] at the Custodian (e.g., by check or bank wire). For fixed fees, the amount due is calculated by dividing
the annual fee by 2. For asset-based fees, the amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate for two
quarters (annual rate divided by 2) to the total assets under management with LEVATUS on December 31st and
June 30th respectively. Both fixed rate and asset-based fee payment covers one quarter in arrears and one quarter
in advance. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of
the wealth advisory fee. Clients are urged to also review the statement provided by the Custodian, as the Custodian
does not perform a verification of fees. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted
by LEVATUS directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the wealth advisory agreement and
separate account forms provided by the Custodian.

C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than LEVATUS, 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, if applicable. The Advisor’s recommended custodian does not charge
securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in Client accounts, but typically charges for mutual funds
and other types of investments. The fees charged by LEVATUS are separate and distinct from these custody and
execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to LEVATUS for wealth 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
LEVATUS, but would not receive the services provided by LEVATUS 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 LEVATUS 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 Advisory Services
LEVATUS is partially compensated for its services in advance of the quarter in which wealth advisory services are
rendered. Either party may terminate the wealth advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written
notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the wealth 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. The Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid wealth advisory fees from the effective date of termination to
the end of the quarter. The Client’s wealth advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the
Client’s prior consent and LEVATUS’ prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
LEVATUS does not buy or sell securities and does not receive any compensation for securities transactions in
any Client account, other than the wealth advisory fees noted above.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
LEVATUS does not charge performance-based fees for its wealth advisory services. The fees charged by
LEVATUS are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or
securities held by any Client.
LEVATUS 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
LEVATUS offers advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, and estates. LEVATUS
generally does not impose a minimum account size for establishing a relationship.

Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
LEVATUS primarily employs fundamental analysis in developing investment strategies for its Clients. Research
and analysis from LEVATUS are derived from numerous sources, including financial statements data,
government data, 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. These criteria
generally consist 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.
As noted above, LEVATUS generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with
their financial goals. LEVATUS 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,
LEVATUS 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. LEVATUS 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 a 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 personal priorities, investment goals, cash flow
requirements, 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 approach:
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 risks, 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
LEVATUS LLC
115 Newbury Street, Suite 503, Boston, MA 02116
Phone: (617) 505-4710
www.levatuswealth.com
Page 8
trading risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have
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. There is also a risk that Authorized Participants are unable to fulfill their
responsibilities. Authorized Participants are one of the major parties involved with ETF creation/redemption
mechanism in the markets. The Authorized Participants play a critical role in the liquidity of ETFs and essentially
have the exclusive right to change the supply of ETF shares in the market. If the Authorized Participants does not
fulfill this expected role, there could be an adverse impact on liquidity and the valuation of an ETF.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risks, 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.
Margin Borrowings
The use of short-term margin borrowings may result in certain additional risks to a Client. For example, if
securities pledged to brokers to secure a Client’s margin accounts decline in value, the Client could be subject to
a “margin call,” pursuant to which it must either deposit additional funds with the broker or be the subject of
mandatory liquidation of the pledged securities to compensate for the decline in value.
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.
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. 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).
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 LEVATUS or any of its Supervised
Persons. LEVATUS values the trust you place in them. 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 and its
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# 287811.

Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
The sole business of LEVATUS and Susan E. Dahl (Managing Member and Chief Compliance Officer) is to
provide advisory services to its Clients. Neither LEVATUS nor its Advisor Persons are involved in other business
endeavors. LEVATUS 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
LEVATUS 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 LEVATUS (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was
developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to each
Client. LEVATUS and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client.
It is the obligation of LEVATUS’ 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 LEVATUS at (617) 505-4710 or via
email at levatus@levatuswealth.com.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
LEVATUS allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. LEVATUS 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. LEVATUS does not have a
material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
LEVATUS 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 requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review by the Chief
Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. 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 LEVATUS 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 afterward. At
no time will LEVATUS, or any Supervised Person of LEVATUS, transact in any security to the detriment
of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
LEVATUS 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 LEVATUS to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the wealth advisory agreement.
Furthermore, LEVATUS does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients
on a trade-by-trade basis.

Where LEVATUS 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 LEVATUS. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the
recommended Custodian is not engaged. LEVATUS 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, its
reputation, and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices. LEVATUS will generally recommend that Clients
establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”). Schwab is a FINRA-registered broker-dealer
and member SIPC, which will serve as a “qualified custodian.” LEVATUS will maintain an institutional relationship
with the Custodians. Please see Item 14 below.
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of LEVATUS:
1. Soft Dollars – Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by custodians whereby an advisor enters into an
agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and other services.
LEVATUS does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-dealer-custodian.
However, the Advisor does receive certain economic benefits from the Custodians as detailed in Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals – LEVATUS 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 LEVATUS will place
trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Furthermore, 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]). LEVATUS 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. LEVATUS will execute its transactions through
the Custodian as authorized by the Client. LEVATUS 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 Client accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Susan E. Dahl, CCO of
LEVATUS as well as by the Client’s Senior Advisor. 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 13A., 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 LEVATUS 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.

Page 11
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 LEVATUS
LEVATUS is a fee-only advisory firm that is compensated solely by its Clients and not from any investment product.
LEVATUS does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker-dealers or any un-
related third party. LEVATUS may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g. attorneys,
accountants, estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients.
Likewise, LEVATUS may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform (Schwab)
LEVATUS has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a
division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like LEVATUS. As a registered investment
advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, LEVATUS receives access to software and
related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that
maintain assets at Schwab.
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. Furthermore, 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 LEVATUS that may not benefit
the Client, including: educational conferences and events and discounts for various service providers. Access to
these services creates a financial incentive for the Advisor to recommend Schwab, which results in a conflict of
interest. LEVATUS 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
LEVATUS does not accept or maintain custody of Client accounts, except for the limited circumstances outlined
below:
Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction
of advisory fees, all Clients for whom LEVATUS exercises discretionary authority must hold their assets with a
LEVATUS LLC
115 Newbury Street, Suite 503, Boston, MA 02116
Phone: (617) 505-4710
www.levatuswealth.com
Page 12
"qualified custodian." Clients are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to safeguard their funds and
securities and must instruct LEVATUS to utilize that Custodian for securities transactions on their behalf. Clients
are encouraged to review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any reports provided by
LEVATUS to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review.
Money Movement Authorization - For instances where Clients authorize LEVATUS to move funds between their
accounts, LEVATUS and the Custodian have implemented safeguards to ensure that all money movement
activities are conducted strictly in accordance with the Client’s documented instructions.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
For Discretionary Assets Under Management LEVATUS 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 LEVATUS. 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 a wealth
advisory agreement containing all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by
LEVATUS will be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
LEVATUS 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 LEVATUS nor its management have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the
ability of LEVATUS to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither LEVATUS nor any of its Advisory Persons have
been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. LEVATUS 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 (6) months or more in the future.
