Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Marathon Wealth Management, Inc. (“Marathon” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a Corporation under the laws of the
State of New York. Marathon was founded in June 2015 and became a registered investment advisor in
September 2017. Marathon is owned and operated by Aaron Lieberman (Managing Director and President). This
Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory
services provided by Marathon.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Marathon offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
businesses and retirement plans (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. Marathon’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
Marathon may provide Clients with wealth management services, which generally includes a broad range of
comprehensive financial planning and consulting services in connection with the discretionary management of a
Client’s investment portfolio. These services are described below.
Investment Management Services: Marathon provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients,
both as part of its wealth management services, but also as a stand-alone service. This is achieved through
continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and
related advisory services. Marathon works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and
objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. Marathon will
then construct an investment portfolio, consisting of low-cost, diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded
funds (“ETFs”) to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize individual stocks, bonds or
options contracts to meet the needs of its Clients. The Advisor may retain other types of investments from the
Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as
identified between the Advisor and the Client.
Marathon’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. Marathon will construct, implement and monitor the Client’s 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.
Marathon evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. Marathon may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the
portfolio. Marathon 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. Marathon 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.
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
Marathon Wealth Management, Inc.
105 Maxess Road, Suite 124, Melville, NY 11747
Phone: (631) 760-8385 * Fax: (631) 760-8391
https://marathonwealth.net/
Page 4
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 Marathon 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.
Comprehensive Financial Life Planning and Consulting Services
Marathon provides comprehensive financial life planning and consulting services to its Clients, both as part of its
wealth management services, but also as a stand-alone service, pursuant to either a subscription or on a one-
time basis. Clients who desire comprehensive financial planning services provided on an annual basis will enter
into a Comprehensive Financial Planning Agreement. For one-time services, Clients will be required to enter into
a separate financial life planning services agreement.
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. 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.
Marathon 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 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 advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations
made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the
recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through
the Advisor.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Marathon provides retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans (each a “Plan”) and the
company/sponsor (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist
the Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Each engagement is
customized to the needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services generally include:
Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
Investment Oversight Services (ERISA 3(21))

• Performance Reporting
• Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
• ERISA 404(c) Assistance
These services are provided by Marathon serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2), the Plan
Sponsor is provided with a written description of Marathon’s fiduciary status, the specific services to be rendered
and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement.
Use of Independent Managers
Marathon may recommend that a Client utilize one or more unaffiliated investment managers or investment
platforms (collectively “Independent Manager[s]”) for all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio. In such
instances, the Client may be required to authorize and enter into an advisory agreement with the Independent
Manager[s] that defines the terms in which the Independent Manager[s] will provide investment management and
related services. The Advisor may also assist in the development of the initial policy recommendations and
managing the ongoing Client relationship. The Advisor will perform initial and ongoing oversight and due
diligence over the selected Independent Manager[s] to ensure the Independent Managers’ strategies and target
allocations remain aligned with its Clients’ investment objectives and overall best interests. Prior to entering into
an agreement with the Independent Manager[s] the Client will be provided with the Independent Manager's Form
ADV 2A – Disclosure Brochure (or a brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures).
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Marathon to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or
more agreements 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 – Marathon, in connection with the Client, will develop an investment
strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Marathon 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 – Marathon will develop an investment portfolio for the Client that is intended to
meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – Marathon will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Marathon does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services
are provided directly by Marathon.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025 Marathon manages approximately $150,540,000 in Client assets, all of which are
managed on a discretionary basis. Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the
Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into one of
more written agreements with the Advisor.

A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees include both investment management and financial planning 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 fixed and based on several factors, including: the scope
and complexity of the services to be provided; the level of assets to be managed; and/or the overall relationship
with the Advisor. The Advisor will also take into consideration the following, which is not intended to be an
exhaustive list: amount of financial planning required, number and type of accounts, net worth, life transitions,
number of household members, business interests, real estate ownership, and trust arrangements. Clients that
established Wealth Management Agreements prior to September 4, 2019 will be grandfathered under their
previously executed Client Agreement. The fixed fee will generally range from $9,000 annually or $2,250 quarterly
to $50,000 annually or $12,500 quarterly. All securities held in accounts managed by Marathon will be
independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuation to
ensure accurate billing.
The Advisor also offers wealth management services on the following tiered schedule:
Annual Rate (%)
Assets Under Management ($)
First $1,000,000
Next $3,000,000 (up to $4,000,000)
Over $4,000,000
1.25%
0.75%
0.50%
Comprehensive Financial Life Planning and Consulting Services
Marathon offers stand-alone comprehensive financial life planning and consulting services on either a fixed fee
subscription basis or a one-time project basis. Subscription engagements start at $500 monthly and require an
annual commitment. One-time project engagements are at an hourly rate of up to $350 per hour. Fees may be
negotiable based on the nature and complexity of the services to be provided and the overall relationship with the
Advisor. An estimate for total hours and/or overall costs will be provided to the Client prior to engaging for these
services.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual asset-based fee of up to 0.50%, billed
quarterly, pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Retirement plan fees are based on the market value of assets
under management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Fees may be negotiable depending on the size and
complexity of the Plan.
Use of Independent Managers
For Clients referred by the Advisor to an Independent Manager, the Client’s fee will be deducted from the Client’s
account[s] with the respective Independent Manager and a portion of the fee may be provided to Marathon based
on Marathon’s agreement with the Client or billed separately by Marathon. Marathon is responsible for
negotiating the fees with the Independent Manager on behalf of the Client. Marathon may charge a fee of up to
2.25% for relationships utilizing a third-party money manager.
B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management Services
Clients have the choice to select how wealth management fees will be paid to the Advisor. These options include
the authorized deduction of fees from Client account[s] held at their selected Custodian; by check; and utilizing a
third-party vendor (AdvicePay) to process their payment. When fees are deducted through the Client’s selected
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 each quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly,
from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the wealth management fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify
the accuracy of these fees as listed on the Custodian’s brokerage statement as the Custodian does not assume this
responsibility. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Marathon directly

from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the management agreement and separate account forms
required by the Custodian.
Comprehensive Financial Life Planning and Consulting Services
For subscription engagements, an initial deposit of $500 is due at the start of the engagement and monthly
installments of $500 are due at the end of each month thereafter until completion of the engagement deliverables.
For one-time financial life planning and consulting engagements, Marathon is paid in advance of the engagement
deliverables. At the Advisors discretion it may allow Clients to pay for one-time engagements by depositing 50% of
the fee in advance with the remaining 50% due upon completion of the engagement.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the assets of the Plan, depending on the terms
of the retirement plan advisory agreement.
Use of Independent Managers
For Clients referred by the Advisor to an Independent Manager, the Client’s fee may be separately billed or
deducted from the Client’s account[s] with the respective manager and a portion of the investment advisory fee
may be provided to Marathon.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Marathon, 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 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 Marathon are separate and distinct from these
custody and execution fees.
In addition, fees paid to Marathon for wealth management and investment management 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 Marathon, but would not receive the services provided by Marathon 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 Marathon 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
Marathon is compensated for its wealth management services at the beginning of the quarter prior to services
being rendered. Either party may terminate the agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the
other party. The Client may also terminate the agreement within five (5) business days of signing the 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 fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s wealth
management agreement is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Comprehensive Financial Life Planning and Consulting Services
For subscription engagements, Marathon is partially compensated for its services upon entering the initial Client
engagement and monthly thereafter until completion of the financial planning engagement. For one time financial
life planning and consulting engagements, Marathon is paid in advance of the engagement deliverables. Either

party may terminate the financial life planning agreement[s], at any time, by providing advance written notice to the
other party. The Client may also terminate the financial life planning agreement[s] 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 services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon
termination, the Client shall be billed for actual hours logged on the planning project times the contractual hourly
rate. The Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid planning fees from the effective date of termination. The
Client’s financial planning agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Either party may request to terminate their services with Marathon in whole or in part, by providing advance written
notice to the other party. 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 retirement plan services agreement with the Advisor is
non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Use of Independent Managers
In the event that a Client should wish to terminate their relationship with the Independent Manager, the terms for
termination will be set forth in the respective agreements between the Client and that Independent Manager.
Marathon will assist the Client with the termination and transition as appropriate.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Marathon 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
Marathon does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by
Marathon are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or
securities held by any Client.
Marathon 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
Marathon offers wealth management and investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals,
trusts, estates, businesses and retirement plans. The amount of each type of Client is available on Marathon’s
Form ADV Part 1A. These amounts may change over time and are updated at least annually by the Advisor.
Marathon generally does not impose a minimum size for establishing a relationship. However there is a minimum
fee of $2,250 per quarter. Fees may be negotiable, and the Advisor reserves the right to decline situations in
which we consider not complicated enough to warrant our minimum fee. Alternately, we may agree to negotiate a
lower fee for simpler situations.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Marathon primarily employs fundamental, technical, cyclical and charting analysis methods in developing
investment strategies for its Clients. Research and analysis from Marathon 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. These criteria
are generally 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
Marathon Wealth Management, Inc.
105 Maxess Road, Suite 124, Melville, NY 11747
Phone: (631) 760-8385 * Fax: (631) 760-8391
https://marathonwealth.net/
Page 9
investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment
criteria utilized in the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The
Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate.
More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in determining the
recommendations made to Clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts to identify market patterns
and trends, which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. The
primary risk in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the
future. Even if the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that Marathon will be able to accurately
predict such a reoccurrence.
Cyclical analysis is similar to technical analysis in that it involves the analysis of market conditions at a macro
(entire market/economy) or micro (company specific) level, rather than the overall fundamental analysis of the
health of the particular company that Marathon is recommending. The risks with cyclical analysis are similar to
those of technical analysis.
Charting analysis utilizes various market indicators as investment selection criteria. These criteria are generally
pricing trends that may indicate movement in the markets. 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 technical and charting analysis may lose
value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these market indicators to
determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate.
As noted above, Marathon generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with
their financial goals. Marathon 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,
Marathon 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. Marathon 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 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 approach:
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.
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 Marathon or any of its Supervised
Persons. Marathon and its Advisory Persons value the trust you 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 and 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 IARD# 289119.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Optimal Divorce Outcomes, LLC
Mr. Lieberman is also the Principal of Optimal Divorce Outcomes, LLC, a consultancy focused on assisting
married couples with the financial aspects of divorce. This service is not offered to Clients of Marathon. Mr.
Lieberman spends 15% of his time in this position during trading hours.
Use of Independent Managers
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. To eliminate any conflict of interest, the Advisor does not earn any compensation from
an Independent Manager. In such arrangements, 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].
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Marathon 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 Marathon (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was
developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to
Marathon Clients. Marathon and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards
each Client. It is the obligation of Marathon’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of
the Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address
employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of Marathon’s Code, please contact the Advisor at
(631) 760-8385 or at info@marathonwealth.net.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Marathon allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Marathon 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. Marathon does not have a
material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.

Page 11
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Marathon 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 we recommend (purchase or sell) to you
presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, we must disclose to you and mitigate 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 has 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 Marathon requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its employees for review by the Chief
Compliance Officer (“CCO”). We have also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of
material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While Marathon 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 Marathon, or any Supervised Person of Marathon, transact in any security to the detriment
of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Marathon 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 Marathon to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment management
agreement. Further, Marathon does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of
Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where Marathon 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 Marathon. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the
recommended Custodian is not engaged. Marathon 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.
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.
The 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 the broker-dealer/custodian in
exchange for research and other services. Marathon 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 – Marathon does not receive any compensation from any third party in
connection with the recommendation for establishing an account.

Phone: (631) 760-8385 * Fax: (631) 760-8391
https://marathonwealth.net/
Page 12
3. Directed Brokerage – All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where Marathon 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]). Marathon 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. Marathon may aggregate orders in a block
trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the same 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.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Aaron Lieberman, Managing
Director, President and Chief Compliance Officer of Marathon. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least
annually or more frequently depending on the needs of the Client.
B. Causes for Reviews
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 Marathon 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 Marathon
Marathon is a fee-based advisory firm that is compensated solely by its Clients and not from any investment
product. Marathon does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker-dealers or
any un-related third party. Marathon 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, Marathon may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
The Advisor has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a
division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like The Advisor. As a registered investment
advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, The Advisor receives access to software and related
support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that maintain assets

Phone: (631) 760-8385 * Fax: (631) 760-8391

Page 13
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 conflict of interest since these benefits can influence the Advisor’s recommendation of Schwab
over a custodian that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of
investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through
Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be able
to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds and
other investments without having to adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the Client were to
directly access the investments.
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to technology,
research, discounts and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for Client accounts,
the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back office support services as part of its relationship with
Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for its Clients, but may
not directly benefit all Clients.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services to Marathon 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 conflict of interest. Marathon 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
Marathon 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 Marathon. 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 management or investment management
agreement containing all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Marathon will
be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Marathon 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.

the ability of Marathon to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Marathon, nor any of its Advisory Persons,
have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Marathon is not required to deliver a balance sheet

Certified Financial Planner “(CFP®”)
The CFP® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or regulation requires financial planners
to hold CFP® certification. It is recognized in the United States and a number of other countries for its (1) high
standard of professional education; (2) stringent code of conduct and standards of practice; and (3) ethical
requirements that govern professional engagements with clients. Currently, more than 71,000 individuals have
obtained CFP® certification in the United States.
To attain the right to use the CFP® marks, an individual must satisfactorily fulfill the following requirements:
• Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study addressing the financial planning
subject areas that CFP® Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the competent and
professional delivery of financial planning services, and attain a Bachelor’s Degree from a regionally
accredited United States college or university (or its equivalent from a foreign university). CFP® Board’s
financial planning subject areas include insurance planning and risk management, employee benefits
planning, investment planning, income tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning;
• Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination includes case
studies and client scenarios designed to test one’s ability to correctly diagnose financial planning issues
and apply one’s knowledge of financial planning to real world circumstances;
• Experience – Complete at least three years of full-time financial planning-related experience (or the
equivalent, measured as 2,000 hours per year); and
• Ethics – Agree to be bound by CFP® Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct, a set of documents
outlining the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements in

hours on the Code of Ethics and other parts of the Standards of Professional Conduct, to maintain
competence and keep up with developments in the financial planning field; and
• Ethics – Renew an agreement to be bound by the Standards of Professional
Conduct. The Standards prominently require that CFP® professionals provide financial planning services
at a fiduciary standard of care. This means CFP® professionals must provide financial planning services
in the best interests of their clients.
CFP® professionals who fail to comply with the above standards and requirements may be subject to
CFP® Board’s enforcement process, which could result in suspension or permanent revocation of their
CFP® certification.
