ITEM 4 – ADVISORY BUSINESS
Who We Are
Mint Asset Management LLC1 (hereinafter referred to as “Mint,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is a Delaware Limited
Liability Company and registered investment advisor2 since February 2022. The Company is committed to helping you, our client,
achieve your financial goals. Mint provides investment advisory services through two divisions, each of which offers different
investment management strategies. Although neither division is a separate legal entity, their investment management strategies
are managed autonomously by an investment advisor representative of Mint, who will serve as your primary advisor and
relationship manager.
This Brochure provides information about the advisory services offered by Akatsuki Capital, a division of Mint. Information about
Mint’s other division is provided in a separate brochure and is available upon request. While different investment management
strategies are provided through each separately branded division, back-office support, such as marketing, operations, and
compliance, is performed on a company-wide basis.

Mission
We strive to help you achieve your monetary goals for today’s needs and for tomorrow’s expectations by providing comprehensive
money management solutions.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, Mint’s assets under management on a company-wide basis totaled:
Discretionary Accounts:
64,543,171
Non-Discretionary Accounts:
$0
What We Do
The Akatsuki Capital division of Mint offers both discretionary and non-discretionary investment management through privately
managed separate accounts. Our current offerings include four strategies: equity market-neutral, low-volatility equity hedge, multi-
asset dividend and income, and leveraged absolute return. Each strategy is designed to pursue distinct risk and return objectives
across different market environments using a mix of asset classes, including but not limited to equity (“stock”) positions, fixed
income securities (bonds, U.S. Treasuries, and mortgage backed securities), options, investment company (“mutual fund”)
products, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), cash, cash equivalents, other securities and
investment instruments, Please see Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss for further information
regarding our investment strategies.
We tailor our advisory services to your specific objectives, risk tolerances, and investment horizons, with a focus on disciplined
portfolio construction, active risk management, and transparency.
If you grant us discretionary authority, we make investment decisions, including the selection of securities and the timing and size
of transactions, without obtaining your prior approval for each transaction. You may, at any time, impose reasonable restrictions,
in writing, on our discretionary authority (i.e., limit the types/amounts of particular securities purchased for your account, etc.).
If we have non-discretionary authority, we provide investment recommendations but do not execute transactions without your prior
approval. Clients in non-discretionary arrangements direct the execution of all transactions and bear responsibility for the
investment decisions made in their accounts. As a result, non-discretionary clients may experience different investment outcomes
than discretionary clients pursuing the same strategy, due to differences in timing, execution, or the client's decision to accept,
modify, or reject recommendations.
1 Mint Asset Management LLC and its investment adviser representatives are a fiduciaries, as defined within the meaning of the Employer Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and/or as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) for any asset management services provided to a client who is: (i)
a plan participant or beneficiary of a retirement plan subject to ERISA or as described under the Code; or, (ii) the beneficial owner of an Individual Retirement
Account (“IRA”).
2 The term “registered investment advisor” is not intended to imply that Mint Asset Management LLC has attained a certain level of skill or training. It is used strictly
to reference the fact that we are “registered” as a licensed “investment advisor” with the United States Securities & Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) – and “Notice
Filed” with State Regulatory Agencies that have limited regulatory jurisdiction over our business practices.

The basis on which we manage your account - discretionary or non-discretionary - is set forth in your Investment Advisory
Agreement.
ITEM 5 – FEES & COMPENSATION
Investment management services are offered on an asset-based, tiered fee schedule. The management fee is billed in arrears
and is calculated using the market value of your account - including investments/securities, cash, and cash equivalents - as
reported by the account’s custodian on the last business day of the month, multiplied by one-twelfth of the corresponding annual
percentage rate (e.g., 1.00% ÷ 12 = 0.0833%).
Our fee schedule for managed accounts is as follows:
Account Value
Annual Fee
Rate
Not to Exceed
2.50%
Up to $500,000
1.50%
1.25%
1.00%
$500,001 - $750,000
..............................................
$750,001 - $1,000,000
..............................................
Over $1,000,000
..............................................
We charge a one-time account setup fee between $250 and $750 to establish an investment profile and plan that assesses
investment goals and risks. This fee also includes the time and resources needed to set up the client’s account(s) with the
custodian. The amount depends on the complexity of the client's investment style, the number of accounts, the assets to be
managed, and other relevant factors.
For managed accounts opened between billing periods, our management fee will be prorated from inception through the end of
the monthly billing period.
Our management fees will be withdrawn from your account monthly by the custodian following our instructions. These fees will be
taken first from any money market funds or cash balances. If these assets are insufficient to cover the fees, a portion of the account
assets will be liquidated to cover the fees.
Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, we will combine the account values of family members living in the same household to
determine the applicable management fee. For example, we will combine the value of your managed account(s) with the values
of managed accounts held by your spouse or partner and dependent children. Combining account values may increase the total
managed assets, which could result in a reduced management fee based on the breakpoints in our tiered fee schedule.
In certain circumstances, we charge performance-based fees in addition to, or in lieu of, our management fees. Performance-
based fees are charged only to clients who qualify as "qualified clients" as defined under Rule 205-3 of the Investment Advisers
Act of 1940. Please see Item 7 – Types of Clients for a general definition of “qualified client.”
Performance-based compensation is calculated as a percentage (generally 15%) of net profits, net capital appreciation, or returns
exceeding a specified benchmark or hurdle rate. The specific terms, including the applicable percentage, measurement period,
hurdle rate, high-water mark provisions, and any clawback or loss carry-forward mechanisms, are negotiated on a client-by-client
basis and set forth in each client's Investment Advisory Agreement.
The Performance Fee shall be calculated and assessed annually at the end of each calendar year (the “Performance Period”) and
shall be based solely on net realized and unrealized capital appreciation of the client’s account’s assets above a pre-agreed
benchmark or hurdle rate (the “Hurdle Rate”), as specified in the Investment Management Agreement. The Performance Fee shall
apply only to the portion of net gains exceeding the Hurdle Rate and shall not be charged in any Performance Period in which the
account’s net return fails to exceed the Hurdle Rate.
A high-water mark (“High-Water Mark”) shall apply to the Performance Fee. The High-Water Mark shall equal the highest net asset
value of the client’s account at the end of any prior Performance Period for which a Performance Fee was assessed. No
Performance Fee shall be payable in any Performance Period unless the account’s net asset value at the end of such period
exceeds both the Hurdle Rate and the High-Water Mark. The High-Water Mark shall be adjusted to account for material client
contributions to or withdrawals from the account during the Performance Period.
At our discretion, we reserve the right to negotiate, waive, or reduce the initial account setup fee, management fee, and/or
performance-based fee on a per-client basis, depending on the size and complexity of the managed account. Pre-existing advisory
clients are subject to our minimum account requirements and advisory fee arrangements in effect at the time they entered into the
advisory relationship. Therefore, some clients may be subject to a more favorable fee schedule than the one shown above.
Akatsuki Capital Page 5 of 13
FORM ADV PART 2A: DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
Cash Balances
Cash is considered to be an asset class and is included in our fee calculations. At times, our fees will exceed the money
market yield on the cash balance of your account. When this happens, the advisory fee will be higher than the interest a
client will earn on their cash balance or the return on money market funds.
Deposits & Withdrawals
For existing management accounts, pro-rated adjustments will not be made for deposits and withdrawals between billing
cycles.
Fee Exclusions
The fees for our account management services do not include any charges imposed by the custodian holding your account.
This includes but is not limited to: (i) any exchange/SEC fees; (ii) certain transfer taxes; (iii) service or account charges such
as postage/handling fees, electronic fund and wire transfer fees, auction fees, debit balances, margin interest, certain odd-lot
differentials, and mutual fund short-term redemption fees; and (iv) brokerage and execution costs related to securities in your
managed account. Other fees may be charged to your account that are not related to our management services.
In addition to our management fee, you will also pay all mutual fund and ETF charges that are directly imposed by the mutual
funds and ETFs. These expenses include management fees, and, if applicable, 12b-1 fees, redemption fees, contingent
deferred sales charges, and other related fees. A detailed explanation of these costs imposed by the mutual funds and ETFs
can be found in each mutual fund or ETF prospectus. You are encouraged to review these prospectuses carefully.
Termination of Account Management Services
You may terminate your Investment Advisory Agreement with us within 5 business days of signing the agreement without
penalty. After that, either party may cancel the agreement at any time by providing written notice to the other party. This notice
should specify the date when the termination will take effect and may include final instructions for the account, such as
liquidate the account, complete all transactions, or stop all investment activity.
If termination does not occur at the end of a month, you will be charged a prorated amount based on the number of days the
account was managed during that period.
Other than the management and performance-based fees listed in Item 5 - Fees & Compensation, we do not charge you any
additional fees.
ITEM 6 – PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES & SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
As disclosed in Item 5 – Fees and Compensation above, the Firm will earn performance-based compensation (i.e., performance-
based fees) from client accounts under the Firm’s management. All performance-based compensation arrangements will be
structured in compliance with the applicable requirements under state and federal rules and regulations, including the requirement
under SEC Rule 205-3 to only enter into such arrangements with “qualified clients” (defined in Item 7 – Types of Clients below).
The terms of performance-based compensation (if any) are provided in the Investment Management Agreement.
When entering into a performance-based compensation arrangement, you should understand the following:
Performance-based compensation may create an incentive for the Firm to make investments that involve more risk and
are more speculative than would be the case in the absence of performance-based compensation.
Performance-based compensation may create an incentive for the Firm to overvalue investments that lack a market
quotation.
Because the Firm will serve as the investment adviser to client accounts with different fee structures, the potential for
conflicts of interest may arise. Such conflicts of interest include the incentive for the Firm and its supervised persons to
favor the accounts for which the Firm receives performance-based compensation.
To mitigate potential conflicts of interest, the Firm has created policies and procedures designed to promote ethical conduct by
addressing client trading, aggregation, trade allocation, best execution, and the requirement to fairly value securities that do not
have a readily ascertainable value. In addition, the Firm’s management team reviews accounts on an ongoing basis to ensure
that investments are suitable and that accounts are being managed appropriately in light of the relevant investment objectives and
risk tolerance.
ITEM 7 – TYPES OF CLIENTS
We primarily offer financial services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, and their families. We may also advise foundations,
charitable organizations, corporations, small businesses, trusts, guardianships, estates, or other entities we choose to advise.
We generally require a minimum initial investment of $100,000 to open or maintain a managed account with us. We retain the
right to waive or reduce this minimum if we feel circumstances warrant.
Because the Firm will earn performance-based compensation, clients are required to complete a suitability questionnaire to
determine whether the investor is a qualified client.
Akatsuki Capital Page 6 of 13
FORM ADV PART 2A: DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
A “qualified client” is defined in Rule 205-3 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and generally includes:
a natural person or institution that immediately after entering into an investment advisory contract has at least $1.1million
under the management of the investment adviser; or has a net worth (excluding primary residence and certain debt
secured by the property) of more than $2.2 million at the time the contract is entered into;
a natural person with $5 million in investments (i.e., qualified purchaser); and
an officer or director of the fund manager, or an employee who participates in the investment activities of an investment
adviser.
ITEM 8 – METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES & RISK OF LOSS
When selecting investments for your account, we use several methods of analysis, including:
Methods of Analysis
Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysis considers efficiency ratios, growth rates, enterprise value, economic conditions, earnings, cash flow,
book value projections, industry outlook, politics (as it relates to investments), historical data, price-earnings ratios, dividends,
overall interest rate levels, company management, debt ratios, and tax benefits.
Fundamental analysis focuses on the long-term financial structure and overall health of a company, which may have limited
relevance to current market conditions. Investing in companies with robust financial data and a history of consistent returns
can be a prudent long-term strategy for portfolio inclusion; however, such fundamental indicators do not necessarily
correspond to the stock's market trading value. In the short term, the stock's value may decline. Additionally, the risks of
fundamental analysis may include incomplete or inaccurate information, unexpected market reactions, and the inability to
predict future events or changes in market sentiment accurately. Economic, political, or industry shifts can also undermine
the validity of fundamental assessments.
Fundamental analysis offers a comprehensive long-term perspective on a security, starting with the assessment of a
company’s value and the robustness of its financial position.
Technical Analysis
Technical analysis uses current and historical price data to help us identify trends in the broader domestic and foreign equity
and fixed-income markets, as well as in the underlying assets themselves. This may involve using various technical indicators,
such as moving averages and trendlines.
Technical analysis involves charting a stock’s historical market data, taking into account current market conditions, to forecast
the direction of a future stock price rather than using fundamental tools to evaluate a company’s financial strength. Technical
analysis focuses on the price movement of a security trading in the marketplace. This is an ideal tool for short-term investing
to identify optimal market entry and exit points. However, no market indicator is absolutely reliable, and your investment
portfolio can underperform in the short term if market indicators are incorrect.
Investment Strategies
The Firm currently offers four investment strategies:
1. Equity Market-Neutral Strategy - This strategy seeks to generate returns that are largely independent of broad equity
market movements by holding offsetting long and short equity positions. The strategy is designed to maintain low net
market exposure; however, there is no guarantee that market neutrality will be achieved at all times.
2. Low-Volatility Equity Hedge Strategy - This strategy invests primarily in equity securities selected with the objective of
maintaining lower price volatility relative to broad market indices, while incorporating hedging techniques to seek to
reduce downside risk. Lower volatility relative to the market is an objective, not a guaranteed outcome.
3. Multi-Asset Dividend and Income Strategy - This strategy invests across multiple asset classes, including equity and
fixed income securities, with an emphasis on dividend-paying and income-generating instruments. The strategy seeks
current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation. Income generation is not guaranteed, and the value of investments
may decline.
4. Leveraged Absolute Return Strategy - This strategy employs leverage and may use derivatives in pursuit of positive
returns across varying market environments. The use of leverage magnifies both potential gains and potential losses and
involves significant risk of loss, including the possible loss of more than the amount invested.
Other Investment Strategies
In addition, we may use long-term purchases, short-term purchases, trading, short sales, margin transactions, and options when
managing your assets.
Long-term purchases are investments held at least a year.
Short-term purchases are investments sold within a year.
Akatsuki Capital Page 7 of 13
FORM ADV PART 2A: DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
Trading involves holding securities for less than 30 days. You should be aware that frequent trading can affect
investment performance, particularly through increased brokerage and other transaction costs and taxes.
Short sales involve selling securities that the investor does not own and delivering the borrowed securities to the
purchaser, with an obligation to replace the borrowed securities at a later date. The securities are borrowed from a third
party, typically a broker-dealer. If the price of the securities declines between the date of sale and the date of repurchase,
the investor will profit to the extent that the decline in price exceeds the investor’s transaction and borrowing expenses.
The investor will incur a loss if the price of the securities rises.
Margin transactions involve the use of current holdings as collateral to buy additional securities.
Options are contracts that give the owner the right to buy or sell a security at a specific price and period of time. When
an investor sells (writes) an option, the investor must deliver to the buyer a specified number of shares if the buyer
exercises the option. The seller pays the buyer a premium (the market price of the option at a particular time) in exchange
for writing the option. When buying an option, the investor has the right to purchase or sell a security at a specified price
until the option's expiration date.
Managing Risks
The biggest risk to you is the chance that your account’s value will decline due to market movements. This risk is known as market
risk, also called variability or volatility risk. Other significant risk factors generally include:
Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk impacts bond values more than stocks. Essentially, when interest rates rise, bond
prices fall; when interest rates decline, bond prices increase.
Equity Risk – Equity risk is the chance that your stocks will decrease in value due to stock market fluctuations, potentially
leading to a loss of money.
Currency Risk – Currency risk is the risk that results from fluctuations in the value of one currency compared to another.
Investment values in international securities can be influenced by changes in exchange rates.
Inflation Risk – The decrease in the purchasing power of investments over time.
Commodity Risk – Commodity risk refers to the uncertainties of future market values and the potential variation in future
income caused by fluctuations in commodity prices (such as grains, metals, food, electricity, etc.).
Liquidity Risk – A financial risk where a company is unable to meet short-term financial obligations without selling either
hard assets or finding another way to reduce the discrepancy between cash flow and debt obligations.
Foreign Securities Risk - Foreign securities come with risks not typically found in domestic investments, such as
currency fluctuations, political instability, economic turmoil, trade restrictions, and weaker regulation. They may also face
limited market liquidity, less transparency, and greater volatility.
Margin Risk - Margin transactions may result in losses greater than the amount deposited in the investor’s margin
account. This may require additional funds to be deposited or securities to be sold at a disadvantage to the investor.
Options Risk - Options on securities may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than an investment in the underlying
securities. Purchasing and writing put and call options are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary
investment risks.
The risk factors identified herein are not intended to be an exhaustive list but rather the most prevalent risks that your account
may encounter. Additional risks not explicitly outlined may include political instability, over-concentration, and liquidity concerns,
among others. Nevertheless, notwithstanding these risk factors, it is imperative that you comprehend that, regardless of the
analytical methods or investment strategies employed in managing your account, investing in securities involves a risk of loss
that you should be prepared to bear. Furthermore, it is important to note that past market performance does not guarantee
similar or superior future returns on your investments.
ITEM 9– DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
Although Mint Asset Management is not subject to the regulatory oversight of FINRA, the following event is being disclosed to
comply with the Company’s duty of full and fair disclosure to its clients. In 1999, the NASD (now FINRA) alleged that STEVEN
Fishman, MINT’S MANAGING MEMBER, operated a broker-dealer without an introducing broker-dealer financial operations
principal (FINOP) and failed to maintain written supervisory procedures that addressed the receipt of client checks, thus resulting
in a violation of SEC net capital rules. Without admitting or denying the allegations, Mr. Fishman consented to the NASD Letter
of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent and agreed to a $5,000 fine, a six-month suspension from associating with any broker-dealer
as a general securities principal (i.e., FUNCTIONING in a supervisory capacity), and to requalify by examination as a general
securities principal. Mr. Fishman has since paid the fine and successfully passed the Series 24 (general securities principal exam).
No further action was taken by FINRA, and Mr. Fishman has since been operating in good standing with securities regulators.
ITEM 10– OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES & AFFILIATIONS
One of Mint’s supervised persons authors articles, blogs, and other social media content (collectively “newsletters”) in his individual
capacity as an independent contractor for Eagle Publishing, an investment news publisher, and Navellier & Associates, Inc., a
registered investment advisor (both entities are collectively herein referred to as “Newsletter Publishers”). Newsletters authored
by him in this capacity are published regularly, providing subscribers with access to market commentary, various investment
Akatsuki Capital Page 8 of 13
FORM ADV PART 2A: DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
strategies, and recommendations, which can have a short-term, medium-term, or long-term focus. The ideas, thoughts, and
opinions reflected in the newsletters are his own and do not purport to meet the investment objectives or financial needs of specific
individuals or accounts. From time to time, strategies and recommendations discussed in the newsletters will be implemented in
our personal accounts and, if deemed suitable, client accounts managed by Mint. This creates a conflict of interest in that our
supervised persons will have knowledge of the recommendations before their publication. Therefore, to prevent our supervised
persons from misusing and misappropriating any information that they become aware of before the publication of the newsletters,
we have adopted a trading policy that, among other things, (i) prohibits supervised persons from front-running client trades and
(ii) allows our Chief Compliance Officer to restrict trading in certain investments before and/or following the publication of a
newsletter.
The investment strategies, performance, and opinions in the newsletters should not be used to evaluate Mint’s investment advisory
services, which can be separate and different from the newsletters, and should not be considered indicative of potential future
investment performance for any client account managed by Mint. Any questions concerning the newsletters, including any
newsletter subscriptions, advertising, or performance claims (calculated solely by the Newsletter Publishers, not Mint), should be
referred to the Newsletter Publisher. You are under no obligation to subscribe to these newsletters.
Under a written solicitor agreement between Mint and Navellier, this supervised person also receives compensation for marketing
Navellier’s investment advisory services to prospective investors derived from Navellier’s other marketing efforts. Because a
separate division of Mint employs this individual, we do not believe that his role as a solicitor creates a conflict of interest with
clients under the Akatsuki Capital division of Mint.
Mint, Eagle Publishing, and Navellier are separate legal entities with no common ownership or control. On occasion, we will
engage Eagle Publishing to advertise our investment advisory services to their newsletter subscribers. We do not share your
personal information with Eagle Publishing or Navellier for marketing or any other purposes.
ITEM 11 – CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS & PERSONAL TRADING
Code of Ethics
As a fiduciary, we have an affirmative duty to provide continuous, unbiased investment advice and always act in your best interest.
To uphold this ethical responsibility, we have adopted a Code of Ethics that sets forth the fundamental principles of conduct and
professionalism expected from all personnel in performing their duties. This Code of Ethics serves as a value-driven guide that
obligates individuals to uphold the highest ethical standards, based on the simplest maxim. Our Code of Ethics is designed to
discourage inappropriate behavior and increase awareness of what is right, fair, just, and good by promoting:
honest and ethical conduct;
full, fair, and accurate disclosure;
compliance with applicable rules and regulations;
reporting of any violation of the Code of Ethics; and
accountability.
To help you understand our ethical culture and standards, how we manage sensitive information, and what steps have been taken
to prevent personnel from abusing their positions with the Firm, a copy of our Code of Ethics is available for review upon request.
Client Transactions
We have a fiduciary duty to ensure that your welfare is not subordinated to any interests of ours. The following disclosures are
internal guidelines we have adopted to help us protect all our clients.
Participation or Interest
It is against our policies for any owners, officers, directors, and employees to invest with you or with a group of clients, or to
advise you or a group of clients to invest in a private business interest or other non-marketable investment unless pre-
approved by our Chief Compliance Officer and such investment is not in violation of any federal or state securities laws.
Insider Trading Policy
We have implemented an Insider Trading Policy to prevent misuse of material non-public information by our Firm and
employees, whether for client or personal gain. Employees must not disclose or act on such information, as defined by
securities laws and our policy. This applies to all employees, both in professional and personal activities.
Personal Trading
Employees are permitted to personally invest their own monies in securities, which may also be, from time to time, recommended
to you. Sometimes, such investment purchases are independent of and not connected in any way to the investment decisions
made on your behalf. However, there may be instances where investment purchases for you may also be made, at or about the
same time, as in an employee’s account. This practice creates a conflict of interest as our employees may benefit from the sale
and purchase of those securities. In these situations, we have implemented the following guidelines in order to ensure our fiduciary
integrity:
Akatsuki Capital Page 9 of 13
FORM ADV PART 2A: DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
No employee acting as an Investment Advisor Representative (“IAR”), or who has discretion over your account, shall buy
or sell securities for their personal portfolio(s) where their decision is substantially derived, in whole or in part, by reason
of his or her employment, unless the information is also available to the investing public on reasonable inquiry. No
employee shall prefer his or her own interest to that of yours or any other advisory client.
Our Chief Compliance Officer, or a designated supervisor, reviews securities holdings for all our access employees on a
regular basis.
We require that all employees act in accordance with all applicable Federal and State regulations governing registered
investment advisory practices.
Bunched orders (See “Aggregating Trade Orders” below under Item 12, “Brokerage Practices”) may include employee
accounts. In such cases, all client and employee accounts will receive an average share price, and transaction costs, if
any, will be shared equally and on a pro rata basis. If a bunched trade is not completely filled, shares will be allocated in
a fair and equitable manner.
Any individual not in observance of the above may be subject to termination.
Personal trading activities are monitored by our Chief Compliance Officer to ensure that such activities do not impact your security
or create conflicts of interest.
ITEM 12 – BROKERAGE PRACTICES
Custodial Services
We typically require that you establish your account with Charles Schwab & Company, Inc. (“Schwab”), a registered broker-
dealer (member FINRA/SIPC) and qualified custodian. Schwab offers us services that include custody of securities, trade
execution, clearance, and settlement of transactions.
Our recommendation that you custody your assets with Schwab is not directly correlated with the services we receive or the
investment advice we offer you, although we do receive economic benefits, which we do not have to pay for, through our
relationship with Schwab that are typically not available to retail clients. This creates an incentive for us to recommend Schwab
based on the economic benefits we receive rather than on your interest in receiving most favorable execution. These economic
benefits include the following products and services provided without cost or at a discount:
Receipt of duplicate client statements and confirmations;
Research related products, tools, and consulting services;
Access to a dedicated trading desk;
Access to batch trading (which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions for execution and then allocate
the appropriate shares to accounts);
The ability to have advisory fees deducted directly from accounts;
Access to an electronic communications network for order entry and account information; and,
Access to mutual funds and ETFs with no transaction fees and to certain institutional money managers.
The advisory support services we receive from Schwab provide an economic benefit to us and could create a potential conflict of
interest for you because our recommendation to custody your account with Schwab might be influenced by these arrangements
or services. However, this is not the case. We have a fiduciary duty to prioritize your interests above our own. We chose Schwab
as our qualified custodian based on:
1. Their competitive transaction fees, trading platform, and online services for account management and operational
support.
2. Their overall reputation, trading capabilities, investment holdings, financial strength, and our personal experience working
with their back-office staff.
Since we do not recommend or suggest custodians or broker-dealers other than Schwab, best execution may not always be
achieved, which could cost you more money. Therefore, you are not required to accept our recommendation to use Schwab as
your custodian or broker-dealer. Not all investment advisors direct clients to specific custodians or broker-dealers. If you choose
to direct us to use another custodian or broker-dealer, we may not be able to provide you with full institutional services, and such
services might cost you more in transaction fees.
We are not a subsidiary or affiliated entity of Schwab. We have sole responsibility for the investment advice we provide, and our
advisory services are given separately and independently from Schwab.
Aggregating Trade Orders
Our objective in order execution is to act fairly and impartially and to take all reasonable steps to obtain the best possible results
(known as “best execution”) for our clients. Therefore, we typically bunch (aggregate) orders for a block trade when: (i) the
bunching of orders is done for the purpose of achieving best execution; and (ii) no client is systematically advantaged or
disadvantaged by bunching the orders. Client accounts participating in the bunched order will receive an average share price, and
transaction costs, if any, will be shared equally and on a pro rata basis. If a bunched trade is not completely filled, shares will be
allocated in a fair and equitable manner.
Akatsuki Capital Page 10 of 13
FORM ADV PART 2A: DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
In consideration of these objectives, we will take into account the unique execution factors of the buy/sell order before bunching
accounts for a block trade. A few of those factors are:
Security Trading Volume – Bunching orders in a block trade can secure price parity and continuity for our clients during
heavy trading activity.
Number of Clients – The fewer the number of client accounts involved in the bunched order, the less likely it may be to
yield better pricing or order execution; it may be more advantageous to perform an individual market order for each client.
In addition, preparing individual market orders for the small number of accounts involved may be quicker to complete
than preparing a bunch order.
Financial Instruments – The type of security involved, as well as the complexity of the order, can affect our ability to
achieve best execution.
ITEM 13 – REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Account Management Reviews
Your investment strategies and investments are monitored and reviewed on an ongoing basis by Al Graves, Portfolio Manager.
The general economy, market conditions, and/or changes in tax law can trigger more frequent reviews. Cash needs will be
adjusted as necessary. Material changes in your personal/financial situation and/or investment objectives will require additional
review and evaluation for us to properly advise you on revisions to previous recommendations and/or services. However, it is your
responsibility to communicate these changes for us to make the appropriate corrections to your management account(s).
You will receive statements, at least quarterly, from the custodian where your account(s) is/are held. Such statements will identify
your current investment holdings, the cost of each of those investments, and their current market values.
You are encouraged to review the trading activities disclosed on your account statements, which summarize your portfolio account
value, current holdings, and all account transactions made during the quarter. It is important for you to review these documents
for accurate reporting and to determine whether we are meeting your investment expectations.
ITEM 14 – CLIENT REFERRALS & OTHER COMPENSATION
Referral Compensation
We may directly compensate persons/firms for client referrals, provided those persons are qualified and have entered into a
solicitation agreement with us. Under such arrangements, if a solicitor referred you to us, you will be provided with complete
information on our relationship and the compensation that the solicitor will receive should you choose to open an account. In no
case will the fee you pay be higher than it would be if you had dealt directly with us. In addition, we will adhere to each State’s
rules and regulations where the solicitor resides prior to entering into any solicitation agreement with that person/firm.
We have engaged a third-party lead-generation, marketing, and appointment-setting service to help identify and connect
prospective clients with our firm. This service is not an investment adviser or wealth management firm and does not provide
investment advice to prospects. We pay this service a flat monthly fee that is not contingent on the number of leads generated,
appointments set, or whether any prospect becomes a client of our firm. If you were referred to us through this service, the fee
you pay for our advisory services is not increased as a result of this arrangement, and you will pay the same fee you would have
paid had you come to us directly.
Other Compensation (Indirect Benefit)
Please refer to Item 12 - Brokerage Practices for more detailed information on the indirect economic benefits received from
Schwab.
Retirement Rollover Compensation
When leaving an employer, you have four options to consider for your existing retirement plan:
Leave the account assets in the former employer’s plan, if permitted;
Rollover the assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted;
Rollover the account assets to an Individual Retirement Account (an “IRA”); or,
Cash out the retirement account assets (There may be tax consequences and/or IRS penalties depending on your age).
You may also engage in a combination of the options listed above.
Should you approach us to advise you on which option would be the best for your particular situation, we have an economic
incentive to recommend you transfer your retirement account to a managed IRA account with us, where we would earn a
management fee on the assets. This creates a conflict of interest because the advice we render can be subjective and a cost to
you. Therefore, if we recommend you transfer your retirement account to an IRA account, you are under no obligation to engage
us to manage your assets. You are free to take your account anywhere.
Akatsuki Capital Page 11 of 13
FORM ADV PART 2A: DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
ITEM 15 – CUSTODY
We do not take possession of or maintain custody of your funds or securities, but will simply monitor the holdings within your
account and trade your account based on your stated investment objectives and guidelines. Physical possession and custody of
your funds and/or securities are maintained with the custodian as indicated above in Item 12 - Brokerage Practices.
We do, however, meet the definition of custody since you have authorized us to deduct our advisory fees directly from your
account. Therefore, to comply with the custody requirements for state-registered investment advisers under state securities laws,
and to protect you as well as to protect our advisory practice, we have implemented the following regulatory safeguards:
Your funds and securities will be maintained with a qualified custodian in a separate account in your name.
Authorization to withdraw our management fees directly from your account must be obtained from you before engaging
in any account management services.
Before deducting our management fee, we will notify the qualified custodian of the amount to be deducted and send
you an invoice that itemizes the fee, including the formula used to calculate it, the value of the assets under
management on which the fee is based, and the time period covered by the fee.
In addition, the qualified custodian is required by law to send you, at least quarterly, brokerage statements summarizing
the specific investments currently held in your account, the value of your account, and account transactions. You are
encouraged to compare the financial data contained in our report to the account statement from the qualified custodian
to verify the accuracy of our reporting.
ITEM 16 – INVESTMENT DISCRETION
We provide account management services primarily on a discretionary basis, but can also provide services on a non-discretionary
basis3. If you engage us for discretionary account management services, we will have the authority to determine the types and
amounts of securities to buy or sell in your account. You may place limitations, in writing, on our discretionary authority to the
extent that the limitations do not adversely affect our ability to manage your account properly. Before we exercise discretionary
authority in your account, you will be required to execute an investment advisory agreement or a limited power of attorney granting
authority to buy, sell, or otherwise execute investment transactions in your account.
ITEM 17 – VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, we do not vote client proxies. You understand and agree that you retain the right to vote
all proxies solicited for securities held in your managed accounts. The custodian of your managed accounts will send you all proxy
solicitations. Any proxy solicitations we inadvertently receive will be promptly forwarded to you for your evaluation and decision.
However, if you have specific questions about an action being solicited by the proxy that you do not understand or need
clarification, you may contact us, and we will explain the details. Please note that we will not advise you on how to vote; the final
decision on your vote is yours to make.
If a client delegates proxy voting authority to us, we will vote proxies in a manner that serves the client’s best interests, as
determined by us in our discretion, taking into account the following factors and any other factors that may be appropriate under
the circumstances:
Whether the proposal is a routine proposal or a non-routine proposal;
The impact the proposal will have on the value of the security, or on the value of the returns to the client’s
account;
The costs associated with the proxy;
The impact the proposal may have on the liquidity of the investment; and
The impact the proposal may have on shareholder rights.
Clients may obtain a copy of these proxy voting policies, as well as information on how we voted their proxies, by contacting us.
Class Action Lawsuits
We do not participate in class action proceedings on your behalf. Such decisions are your own or are made in conjunction with an
entity you designate. However, if you have specific questions, you may contact us, and we will assist in clarifying the details. Any
final decision regarding participation, as well as the completion and monitoring of any related documentation, shall be your
responsibility.
3 Managing your account on a non-discretionary basis means we cannot execute securities transactions in your account without first obtaining your verbal consent to
perform the trades. Therefore, you understand that in the event of a market correction, if we are unable to communicate our intent, your account could experience
greater market volatility than accounts managed on a discretionary basis.

ITEM 18 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We are not required to include financial information in this Disclosure Brochure, as we do not take physical custody of client funds

We are unaware of any current financial conditions that could impair our ability to fulfill our contractual commitments to you.
Additionally, neither the Firm nor any of our officers or directors has been the subject of a bankruptcy petition in the past 10 years.

Who We Are
Mint Asset Management LLC1 (hereinafter referred to as “Mint,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,”
and “our”) is a Delaware Limited Liability Company and registered investment advisor2 since
February 2022. The Company is committed to helping you, our client, achieve your financial
goals. Mint provides investment advisory services through two divisions, each of which offers
different investment management strategies. Although neither division is a separate legal entity,
their investment management strategies are managed autonomously by an investment advisor
representative of Mint, who will serve as your primary advisor and relationship manager.
This Brochure provides information about the advisory services offered by Asset Wise Analytics,
a division of Mint. Information about Mint’s other division is provided in a separate brochure
and is available upon request. While different investment management strategies are provided
through each separately branded division, back-office support, such as marketing, operations,
and compliance, is performed on a company-wide basis.

maintaining a disciplined investment approach to realize your investment goals. Our services
include:
Portfolio Management Services
Striving to achieve the best return on your investment capital, Asset Wise Analytics focuses
its portfolio management services on designing and managing a portfolio tailored to your
investment goals, risk tolerance, and income needs using a mix of investment strategies and
asset classes, including but not limited to mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), cash,
and cash equivalents. We may also use individual stocks, bonds, and other securities and
investment instruments to meet your needs.
Held-Away Retirement Plan Assets
We have entered a third-party agreement with Pontera Solutions, Inc. (“Pontera”), enabling
us to manage and trade on assets held in employer-sponsored retirement plans and qualified
tuition plans, such as defined contribution plan participant accounts (i.e., 401(k) and
403(b)), annuities, 457 deferred compensation plans, and 529 education savings plans
(collectively herein referred to as “Held-Away Assets”). The Pontera platform links these
Held-Away Assets in a single interface; providing a more comprehensive view of your
retirement assets and allowing us the ability to implement asset allocation and opportunistic
rebalancing strategies that would otherwise be constrained due to regulatory limitations
related to federal and state custody laws.
Upon engagement, Pontera will provide a secure link for you to gain access to their
platform. There, you will provide detailed information relating to your Held-Away Assets
and establish the login credentials to those accounts. We will not have direct login capability
to those held-away assets. You maintain personal autonomy, allowing us only to allocate
and trade those accounts you linked to the Pontera platform.
Other disclosures related to our arrangement with Pontera are as follows:
Pontera charges an asset-based annual fee of 0.30% for each retirement account we
manage on their platform. The fee is calculated at the beginning of each calendar
quarter (i.e., 0.30% ¸ 4 = 0.075%) and billed to us – you do not pay directly for this
service. This will NOT result in you paying a management fee higher than what we
have currently disclosed in our fee schedule in Item 5, “Fees & Compensation.”
Our investment advice is limited by the investment choices available within your
retirement or tuition plan. We are not responsible for any costs, expenses, transaction
fees, redemption fees, penalties, or otherwise resulting from any account transactions.
We will not have, nor will we accept, any authority to change beneficiaries or effect
account disbursements, or to process transfers of any funds to/from your retirement
or tuition account.
We are independent of and not owned by, affiliated with, or supervised by Pontera.
We do not accept responsibility to provide ongoing review, monitoring or performance
evaluation of any Held-Away Assets not linked to the Pontera platform.
If requested by you, we may consult or assist you regarding Held-Away Assets in matters
that include, but are not limited to, disposition of assets, transferring of non-managed
funds to/from the account(s), or assist with trades within the non-managed account(s),
but only as directed by you. You remain responsible for all decisions and consequences
regarding the Held-Away Assets.
It is your exclusive obligation and sole responsibility to immediately notify us, in
writing, if there is a change in your financial situation or investment objective(s)
including, but not limited to, personal/financial situation, goals, needs or
concerns/views regarding economic/political/financial climate as well as any changes

in investment alternatives, restrictions, etc. for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating
or revising any of our previous recommendations and/or services, or if you want to
impose, add or modify any reasonable restrictions to our investment advisory services.
Please Note: Unless you advise, in writing, to the contrary, there are no restrictions
on our services, other than to manage the account in accordance with your designated
investment objective.
Information regarding our management fee structure is disclosed under “Portfolio Management
Fee” in Item 5, “Fees & Compensation,” and further description of our investment strategies

Portfolio Management Fee
Portfolio management services under Asset Wise Analytics are provided on an asset-based fee
arrangement. Management fees are calculated based on the average daily balance3 of your
account for each day in the previous calendar month multiplied by one-twelfth of the
corresponding annual percentage rate.
We retain discretion to negotiate, waive, or reduce the management fee within each tier on a
client-by-client basis, depending on the size, complexity, and nature of the portfolio managed.
Therefore, some clients may pay different fees for the same level of services provided by us.
The portfolio management fee schedules for Asset Wise Analytics are as follows:

you should expect when it comes to (i) managing your account, (ii) your bill for investment
services, (iii) deposits and withdrawals of funds, and (iv) other fees charged to your account(s).
3 The average daily balance is calculated by taking the sum of your account balance at the end of each day of the billing cycle and then
dividing that sum by the number of days in the billing cycle.

Discretion
We will establish discretionary trading authority on all management accounts to execute
securities transactions without your prior consent or advice.
You may, at any time, impose restrictions, in writing, on our discretionary authority (i.e.,
limit the types/amounts of particular securities purchased for your account, etc.).
Billing
Your account will be billed monthly in arrears based on the average daily balance of your
account throughout the calendar. For accounts opened between billing periods, our fee will
be pro-rated from inception through the end of the monthly billing period.
Management fees will be deducted first from any money market funds or cash balances. If
such assets are insufficient to satisfy payment of such fees, a portion of the account assets
will be liquidated to cover the fees. You have the option to pay us by check or electronically
via ACH.
Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, we will combine the account values of family members
living in the same household to determine the applicable management fee. For example, we
will combine the value of your managed account(s) with the values of managed accounts
held by your spouse or partner and dependent children. Combining account values may
increase the managed assets total, which could result in a reduced management fee based
on the breakpoints in our tiered fee schedule.
Other than the management fees listed in Item 5 (Fees & Compensation), we do not charge
you any additional fees.
Fee Exclusions
The above fees for all of our Portfolio Management services are exclusive of any charges
imposed by the custodial firm who has custody of your account; including, but not limited
to: (i) any Exchange/SEC fees; (ii) certain transfer taxes; (iii) service or account charges,
such as, postage/handling fees, electronic fund and wire transfer fees, auction fees, debit
balances, margin interest, certain odd-lot differentials and mutual fund short-term
redemption fees; and (iv) brokerage and execution costs associated with securities held in
your managed account. There may also be other fees charged to your account that are
unaffiliated with our management services.
In addition, all fees paid to us for Portfolio Management services are separate from any fees
and expenses charged on mutual funds and ETFs by the Investment Company or the
investment advisor managing the mutual fund or ETF portfolios. These expenses generally
include management fees and various fund expenses, such as 12b-1 fees. Redemption fees,
account fees, purchase fees, contingent deferred sales charges, and other sales load charges
may occur but are the exception within managed accounts at institutional custodians. A
complete explanation of these expenses charged by the mutual funds and ETFs is contained
in each mutual fund’s or ETF’s prospectus. You are encouraged to carefully read the fund
prospectus.
For more information on the custodial firm that we will recommend to custody your portfolio
accounts, see Item 12, “Brokerage Practices.”
Termination of Portfolio Management Services
At any time, either party (you or us) may terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement, and
our Portfolio Management services, by written notification to the other party. Such written

notification should include the date the termination will go into effect along with any final
instructions on the account (e.g., liquidate the account, finalize all transactions, and/or cease
all investment activity).
In the event termination does not fall on the last day of a calendar month, we shall bill your
account a pro-rated management fee based on the number of days during the calendar month
we managed your portfolio. Once the termination of investment advisory services has been
implemented, neither party has any obligation to the other – we no longer earn management
fees or give investment advice, and you become responsible for making your own investment
decisions.

investment objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance to yield an effective investment strategy
and portfolio allocation. Your portfolio is then tailored to these unique investment parameters,
primarily using a diversified mix of mutual funds, ETFs, cash, and cash equivalents. We may also
use individual stocks, bonds, and other securities and investment instruments.
Methods of Analysis
In analyzing securities to develop an efficient asset allocation portfolio, we will use a
combination of analysis techniques to gather information and to guide us in our management
decisions.
Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysis considers: efficiency ratios, growth rates, enterprise value, economic
conditions, earnings, cash flow, book value projections, industry outlook, politics (as it relates
to investments), historical data, price-earnings ratios, dividends, general level of interest
rates, company management, debt ratios and tax benefits.

DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
RISKS – Fundamental analysis places greater value on the long-term financial structure and
health of a company, which may have little to no bearing on what is actually happening in
the market place. Investing in companies with sound financial data/strength and a history
of healthy returns can be a good long-term investment to hold in your portfolio; however,
such fundamental data does not always correlate to the trading value of the stock on the
exchanges. In the short-term, the stock can decrease in value as investors trade in other
market sectors.
Technical Analysis
Technical analysis utilizes current and historical pricing information to help us identify trends
in the broader domestic and foreign equity and fixed income markets, and in the underlying
assets themselves. This may involve the use of various technical indicators, such as moving
averages and trend-lines, among others.
RISKS – Technical analysis is charting the historical market data of a stock, taking into
consideration current market conditions, to forecast the direction of a future stock price
rather than using fundamental tools for evaluating a company’s financial strength. Technical
analysis focuses on the price movement of a security trading in the marketplace. This is an
ideal tool for short-term investing to identify ideal market entry/exit points. However, no
market indicator is absolutely reliable, and your investment portfolio can underperform in
the short-term should the market indicators be incorrect.
Fundamental analysis provides us with a broad long-term view of a security that begins with
determining a company’s value and the strength of its financials while technical analysis is short-
term, focusing on the statistics generated by market activity.
Investment Strategies
Asset Wise Analytics may utilize the following investment strategies when managing your assets:
Short Duration Income
This model is designed for investors who have defined needs for their portfolio over the
immediate to the next several years time frame. The model is constructed using money market
instruments, short-duration ETFs, and defined maturity ETFs, laddered to match the client's
objective.
Conservative Dynamic Growth
This model is designed as an "all-weather" approach for investors who desire current income
and growth of capital and are willing to accept drawdowns in the range of 5-10%. The portfolio
is constructed using a thoughtful combination of tactical growth and income strategies, a
hedged equity core, and trend-following strategies that provide expanded diversification. The
tactical growth and income will generally be a blend of 40% of a tactical growth model and
60% of a tactical income model. Each model is a separate, 100% rules-based model that
systematically selects the top-ranked ETFs from a targeted universe of ETFs, each month. The
hedged equity core will be approximately 20% of the overall model and be composed of ETFs
that may hedge downside risk and write options for additional income against a basket of large-
cap US stocks. The overall model may be comprised of 10%-15% systematic, trend-following
strategies utilizing both ETFs and mutual funds that follow such approaches. It is anticipated
that these funds will provide additional diversification as they seek opportunities in a wide
range of additional asset classes such as currencies, metals, agriculture, energy, global
equities, and fixed income.

Moderate Dynamic Growth
This model is designed as an "all-weather" balanced approach for investors who desire current
income and growth of capital and are willing to accept drawdowns in the range of 8-12%. The
portfolio is constructed using a thoughtful combination of tactical growth and income
strategies, a hedged equity core, focused equities strategies, and trend-following strategies
that provide expanded diversification. The tactical growth and income will generally be a blend
of 60% of a tactical growth model and 40% of a tactical income model. Each model is a separate,
100% rules-based model that systematically selects the top-ranked ETFs from a targeted
universe of ETFs, each month. The hedged equity core will be approximately 20% of the overall
model and be composed of ETFs that may hedge downside risk and write options for additional
income against a basket of large-cap US stocks. The overall model may be comprised of 10%-
15% systematic, trend-following strategies utilizing both ETFs and mutual funds that follow
such approaches. It is anticipated that these funds will provide additional diversification as
they seek opportunities in a wide range of additional asset classes such as currencies, metals,
agriculture, energy, global equities, and fixed income. The Moderate Dynamic Growth model
may also make a 10% allocation to a focused equity strategy that may select up to 10 individual
stocks from among a broader basket of large-cap US equities, using a 100% systematic, rules-
based ranking methodology.

Other Investment Strategies
In addition, we may use long term purchases, short-term purchases, trading, short sales,
margin transactions, options, and alternative assets when managing your assets.
Long-term purchases are investments held at least a year.
Short-term purchases are investments sold within a year.
Trading involves holding securities for less than 30 days.
You should be aware that frequent trading can affect investment performance, particularly
through increased brokerage and other transaction costs and taxes.

Managing Risk
The biggest risk to you is the risk that the value of your investment portfolio will decrease due
to moves in the market. This risk is referred to as the market risk factor, also known as
variability or volatility risk. Other important risk factors:
Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk affects the value of bonds more than stocks.
Essentially, when the interest rate on a bond begins to rise, the value (bond price)
begins to drop; and vice versa, when interest rates on a bond fall, the bond value rises.
Equity Risk – Equity risk is the risk that the value of your stocks will depreciate due to
stock market dynamics, causing one to lose money.
Currency Risk – Currency risk is the risk that arises from the change in price of one
currency against that of another. Investment values in international securities can be
affected by changes in exchange rates.
Inflation Risk – The reduction of purchasing power of investments over time.
Commodity Risk – Commodity risk refers to the uncertainties of future market values
and the size of future income caused by the fluctuation in the prices of commodities
(i.e., grains, metals, food, electricity, etc.).
Margin Risk - Margin transactions may result in losses greater than the amount
deposited in the investor’s margin account. This may require additional funds to be
deposited or securities to be sold at a disadvantage to the investor.
Options Risk - Options on securities may be subject to greater fluctuations in value
than an investment in the underlying securities. Purchasing and writing put and call
options are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary investment
risks.
The risk factors we have cited here are not intended to be an exhaustive list but are the most
common risks your portfolio will encounter. Other risks that we have not defined could be
political, over-concentration, and liquidity to name a few. However, notwithstanding these risk
factors, the most important thing for you to understand is that regardless of how we analyze
securities or the investment strategy and methodology we use to guide us in the management of
your investment portfolio, investing in a security involves a risk of loss that you should be
willing and prepared to bear. Furthermore, past market performance is no guarantee that
you will see equal or better future returns on your investment.

Although Mint Asset Management is not subject to the regulatory oversight of FINRA, the following
event is being disclosed to comply with the Company’s duty of full and fair disclosure to its
clients. In 1999, the NASD (now FINRA) alleged that Mr. Fishman operated a broker-dealer
without an introducing broker-dealer financial operations principal (FINOP) and failed to
maintain written supervisory procedures that addressed the receipt of client checks, thus
resulting in a violation of SEC net capital rules. Without admitting or denying the allegations,
Mr. Fishman consented to the NASD Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent and agreed to a
$5,000 fine, a six-month suspension from associating with any broker-dealer as a general
securities principal (i.e., function in a supervisory capacity), and to requalify by examination as
a general securities principal. Mr. Fishman has since paid the fine and successfully passed the
Series 24 (general securities principal exam). No further action was taken by FINRA and Mr.
Fishman has since been operating in good standing with securities regulators.

Financial Industry Activities
One of our supervised persons authors articles, blogs, and other social media content
(collectively “newsletters”) in his individual capacity as an independent contractor for Eagle
Publishing, an investment news publisher, and Navellier & Associates, Inc., a registered
investment advisor (both entities are collectively herein referred to as “Newsletter Publishers”).
Newsletters authored by him in this capacity are published regularly, providing subscribers with
access to market commentary, various investment strategies, and recommendations, which can
have a short-term, medium-term, or long-term focus. The ideas, thoughts, and opinions
reflected in the newsletters are his own and do not purport to meet the investment objectives
or financial needs of specific individuals or accounts. From time to time, strategies and
recommendations discussed in the newsletters will be implemented in our personal accounts
and, if deemed suitable, client accounts managed by Mint. This creates a conflict of interest in
that our supervised persons will have knowledge of the recommendations before their
publication. Therefore, to prevent our supervised persons from misusing and misappropriating
any information that they become aware of before the publication of the newsletters, we have
adopted a trading policy that, among other things, (i) prohibits supervised persons from front-
running client trades and (ii) allows our Chief Compliance Officer to restrict trading in certain
investments before and/or following the publication of a newsletter.
The investment strategies, performance, and opinions in the newsletters should not be used to
evaluate Mint’s investment advisory services, which can be separate and different from the
newsletters, and should not be considered indicative of potential future investment performance
for any client account managed by Mint. Any questions concerning the newsletters, including any
newsletter subscriptions, advertising, or performance claims (calculated solely by the Newsletter
Publishers, not Mint), should be referred to the Newsletter Publisher. You are under no obligation
to subscribe to these newsletters.
Under a written solicitor agreement between Mint and Navellier, this supervised person also
receives compensation for marketing Navellier’s investment advisory services to prospective
investors derived from Navellier’s other marketing efforts. Because a separate division of Mint
employs this individual, we do not believe that his role as a solicitor creates a conflict of interest
with clients under the Asset Wise Analytics Division of Mint.
Mint, Eagle Publishing, and Navellier are separate legal entities with no common ownership or
control. On occasion, we will engage Eagle Publishing to advertise our investment advisory
services to their newsletter subscribers. We do not share your personal information with Eagle
Publishing or Navellier for marketing or any other purposes.

professionalism expected by all personnel in discharging their duties. This Code is a value-laden

elementary maxim. Our Code of Ethics is designed to deter inappropriate behavior and heighten
awareness as to what is right, fair, just, and good by promoting:

Reporting of any violation of the Code.
Accountability.
To help you understand our ethical culture and standards, how we control sensitive information,
and what steps have been taken to prevent personnel from abusing their inside position, a copy
of our Code of Ethics is available for review upon request.
Client Transactions
We have a fiduciary duty to ensure that your welfare is not subordinated to any interests of ours
or of our personnel. The following disclosures are internal guidelines we have adopted to assist
us in protecting all our clientele.
Participation or Interest
It is against our policies for any owners, officers, directors, and employees to invest with you
or with a group of clients, or to advise you or a group of clients, to invest in a private business
interest or other non-marketable investment unless prior approval has been granted by our
Chief Compliance Officer, and such investment is not in violation of any SEC and/or State rules
and regulations.
Insider Trading Policy
We comply with the Insider Trading and Securities Fraud Enforcement Act of 1988. We do not
share any non-public information with anyone who does not need to know and have established
internal controls to guard your personal information.
Personal Trading
Employees of ours are permitted to personally invest their own monies in securities, which may
also be, from time to time, recommended to you. Sometimes, such investment purchases are
independent of and not connected in any way to the investment decisions made on your behalf.
However, there may be instances where investment purchases for you may also be made, at or
about the same time, as in an employee’s account. This practice creates a conflict of interest
as our employees may benefit from the sale and purchase of those securities. In these situations,
we have implemented the following guidelines in order to ensure our fiduciary integrity:
1. No employee acting as an Investment Advisor Representative (“IAR”), or who has
discretion over your account, shall buy or sell securities for their personal portfolio(s)
where their decision is substantially derived, in whole or in part, by reason of his or
her employment, unless the information is also available to the investing public on
reasonable inquiry. No employee of ours shall prefer his or her own interest to that of
yours or any other advisory client.
2. Our Chief Compliance Officer, or a designated supervisor, reviews securities holdings
for all our access employees on a regular basis.
3. We require that all employees act in accordance with all applicable Federal and State
regulations governing registered investment advisory practices.
4. Bunched orders (See “Aggregating Trade Orders” below under Item 12, “Brokerage
Practices”) may include employee accounts. In such cases, all client and employee
accounts will receive an average share price, and transaction costs, if any, will be
shared equally and on a pro rata basis. If a bunched trade is not completely filled,
shares will be allocated in a fair and equitable manner.
5. Any individual not in observance of the above may be subject to termination.

BROKERAGE PRACTICES

Custodial Services
The Company typically recommends the custodial services of Charles Schwab & Company, Inc.
(“Schwab”) and Interactive Brokers, LLC (“Interactive Brokers”), both of which are registered
broker-dealers and members of FINRA and SIPC. Schwab and Interactive Brokers offer us services,
which include custody of securities, trade execution, clearance, and settlement of transactions.
Our recommendation for you to custody your assets with Schwab or Interactive Brokers has no
direct correlation to the services we receive from the Custodians and the investment advice we
offer you, although we do receive economic benefits for which we do not have to pay through
our relationship with the Custodians that are typically not available to Schwab and Interactive
Brokers retail clients. This creates an incentive for us to recommend Schwab and Interactive
Brokers based on the economic benefits we receive rather than on your interest in receiving the
most favorable execution. These economic benefits include the following products and services
provided without cost or at a discount:
Receipt of duplicate client statements and confirmations;
Research related products and tools and consulting services;
Access to a dedicated trading desk;
Access to batch trading (which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions
for execution and then allocate the appropriate shares to accounts);
The ability to have advisory fees deducted directly from accounts; and
Access to an electronic communications network for order entry and account
information.
We are not a subsidiary of, or an affiliated entity of, Schwab or Interactive Brokers. We are
solely responsible for investment advice rendered, and our advisory services are provided
separately and independently from Schwab and Interactive Brokers.
Direction of Transactions and Commission Rates (Best Execution)
We have a fiduciary duty to put your interests before our own. The advisory support services
we receive from these custodians create an economic benefit to us, and a potential conflict of
interest to you in that our recommendation to custody your account(s) with Schwab or
Interactive Brokers may have been influenced by these arrangements/services. This is not the
case; we have selected Schwab and Interactive Brokers as our custodian of choice based on:
1. Their competitive transaction charges, trading platform, and online services for
account administration and operational support.
2. Their general reputation, trading capabilities, investment inventory, financial
strength, and our personal experience in working with Schwab and Interactive
Brokers staff.
We do not generally permit you to direct us to use a particular broker-dealer outside of Schwab
or Interactive to execute your account transactions. Since we do not recommend, suggest, or
make available a selection of broker-dealers/custodians other than Schwab or Interactive
Brokers, favorable execution of your account transactions may not always be achieved, and
you may pay higher transaction fees. Not all investment advisers require clients to use a
particular broker-dealer.

DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
Aggregating Trade Orders
Our objective in order execution is to act fairly and impartially and to take all reasonable steps
to obtain the best possible results (known as “best execution”) for our clients. Therefore, we
typically bunch (aggregate) orders for a block trade when: (i) the bunching of orders is done for
the purpose of achieving best execution; and (ii) no client is systematically advantaged or
disadvantaged by bunching the orders. Client accounts participating in the bunched order will
receive an average share price, and transaction costs, if any, will be shared equally and on a pro
rata basis. If a bunched trade is not completely filled, shares will be allocated in a fair and
equitable manner.
In consideration of these objectives, we will take into account the unique execution factors of
the buy/sell order before bunching accounts for a block trade. A few of those factors are:
Security Trading Volume – Bunching orders in a block trade can secure price parity
and continuity for our clients during heavy trading activity.
Number of Clients – The fewer the number of client accounts involved in the bunched
order may not yield better pricing or order execution; it may be more advantageous
to perform an individual market order for each client. In addition, preparing individual
market orders for the small number of accounts involved may be quicker to complete
than preparing a bunch order.
Financial Instruments – The type of security involved, as well as the complexity of
order, can affect our ability to achieve best execution.

Portfolio Management Reviews
Your investment strategies and investments are monitored and reviewed on an ongoing basis by
our Managing Member, Steven Fishman, and Portfolio Manager, Michael Reilly. The general
economy, market conditions, and/or changes in tax law can trigger more frequent reviews. Cash
needs will be adjusted as necessary. Material changes in your personal/financial situation and/or
investment objectives will require additional review and evaluation for us to properly advise you
on revisions to previous recommendations and/or services. It is your responsibility to
communicate these changes for us to make the appropriate corrections to your management
account(s).
You will receive statements, at least quarterly, from the custodian where your account(s) are
held in custody which identify your current investment holdings, the cost of each of those
investments, and their current market values. In addition to receiving account statements from
the custodian, we may provide you with a monthly or quarterly written report summarizing your
portfolio. You are encouraged to carefully review and compare your account statements with
reports that we may send to you. It is important for you to review these documents for accurate
reporting and to determine whether we are meeting your investment expectations.

CLIENT REFERRALS & OTHER COMPENSATION

Referral Compensation
We may directly compensate persons/firms for client referrals, provided those persons are
qualified and have entered into a solicitation agreement with us. Under such arrangements, if a
solicitor referred you to us, you will be provided with complete information on our relationship
Mint Asset Management, LLC
Form ADV: Part 2A
© 38 Compliance jointly with eAdvisor Compliance, Inc. – Disclosure Brochure Design Layout. www.eAdvisorCompliance.com
Page 15 of 18
DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
and the compensation that the solicitor will receive should you choose to open an account. In no
case will the fee you pay be higher than it would be if you had dealt directly with us. In addition,
we will adhere to each State’s rules and regulations where the solicitor resides prior to entering
into any solicitation agreement with that person/firm.
We have engaged a third-party lead-generation, marketing, and appointment-setting service to
help identify and connect prospective clients with our firm. This service is not an investment
adviser or wealth management firm and does not provide investment advice to prospects. We
pay this service a flat monthly fee that is not contingent on the number of leads generated,
appointments set, or whether any prospect becomes a client of our firm. If you were referred to
us through this service, the fee you pay for our advisory services is not increased as a result of
this arrangement, and you will pay the same fee you would have paid had you come to us directly.
Other Compensation (Indirect Benefit)
The Company receives an indirect economic benefit from Schwab and Interactive Brokers (See
“Custodial Services” above under Item 12, “Brokerage Practices” for more detailed information
on what these services and products could be).
Retirement Transfer Compensation
When it comes to your retirement account, you have four options to consider when transitioning
employment from one employer to another or when you are seeking full retirement:
Leave the account assets in the former employer’s plan, if permitted;
Transfer the assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available and transfers are
permitted;
Transfer the account assets to an Individual Retirement Account (an “IRA”); or,
Cash out the retirement account assets (there will be tax consequences and/or IRS
penalties depending on your age).
Should you approach us to advise you on which option would be the best for your particular
situation, we have an economic incentive to recommend you transfer your retirement account
to a managed IRA account with us, where we would earn a management fee on the assets. This
creates a conflict of interest because the advice we render can be subjective and a cost to you.
Therefore, if we recommend you transfer your retirement account to an IRA account, you are
under no obligation to engage us to manage your assets. You are free to take your account
anywhere.

Management Fee Deduction
We do not take possession of or maintain custody of your funds or securities but will simply
monitor the holdings within your portfolio and trade your account based on your stated
investment objectives and guidelines. Physical possession and custody of your funds and/or
securities are maintained with a qualified custodian as indicated above in Item 12, “Brokerage
Practices.”
We do, however, meet the definition of custody since you have authorized us to deduct our
advisory fees directly from your account. Therefore, to comply with the custody requirements
for investment advisers under SEC Rule 206(4)-2, and to protect you as well as protect our
advisory practice, we have implemented the following regulatory safeguards:

DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
Your funds and securities will be maintained with a qualified custodian (Schwab or
Interactive Brokers) in a separate account in your name.
Authorization to withdraw our management fees directly from your account will be
approved by you prior to engaging in any portfolio management services.
In addition, the custodian is required by law to send you, at least quarterly, brokerage statements
summarizing the specific investments currently held in your account, the value of your portfolio,
and account transactions. You are encouraged to compare and review the financial data
contained in our reports and fee invoices to the account statement received from the custodian
to verify the accuracy of our reporting and billing. The account custodian does not verify the
accuracy of the portfolio management fee calculation.

investment companies consistent with our fiduciary duty to vote proxies in your best interest.
With respect to individual issuers, we may be solicited to vote on matters including corporate
governance, adoption or amendments to compensation plans (including stock options), and
matters involving social issues and corporate responsibility. With respect to investment
companies (e.g., mutual funds), we may be solicited to vote on matters including the approval
of advisory contracts, distribution plans, and mergers. We (in conjunction with the services
provided by ProxyEdge) shall maintain records pertaining to proxy voting as required under the
Advisers Act. Information pertaining to how we voted on any specific proxy issue is also available
upon written request. If you have any questions regarding our proxy voting policy, you may
contact our office.
You shall maintain exclusive responsibility for all legal proceedings or other types of events
pertaining to the assets, including, but not limited to, class-action lawsuits. We have identified
an unaffiliated service provider (Broadridge) to assist you, for a fee (generally 20% of the
recovery), with class-action matters. We will not receive any compensation from the service
provider.
You are under no obligation to use Broadridge for class-action matters. Please notify us in
writing if you do not wish to use Broadridge for its class-action service. Please note: We do
not participate in class-action proceedings on behalf of our clients. Thus, if you choose not
to use Broadridge, you will be exclusively responsible to pursue and monitor all class-action

Who We Are
Mint Asset Management LLC1 (hereinafter referred to as “Mint”, “the Company”, “we”, “us”
and “our”), is a Delaware Limited Liability Company, and registered investment advisor2 since
February 2022. The Company is committed to helping you, our client, achieve your financial
goals. Mint provides investment advisory services through two divisions, each of which offers
different investment management strategies. Although neither division is a separate legal entity,
their investment management strategies are managed autonomously by an investment advisor
representative of Mint who will serve as your primary advisor and relationship manager.
This Brochure provides information about the advisory services offered by the Bryan Perry’s
Private Clients division of Mint. Information about Mint’s other division is provided in a separate
brochure and is available upon request. While different investment management strategies are
provided through each separately branded division, back-office support, such as marketing,
operations, and compliance, is performed on a company-wide basis.

DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
What We Do
We manage wealth. We provide investment management solutions designed to maximize your
wealth, meet your income needs, and minimize risk. We will do our best to keep you focused on
where you want to go, offer advice on how to get there, and remind you of the importance of
maintaining a disciplined investment approach to realize your investment goals. Our services
include:
Portfolio Management Services
Striving to achieve the best return on your investment capital, Bryan Perry’s Private Clients
focuses its portfolio management services on designing and managing a portfolio tailored to
your investment goals, risk tolerance, and income needs using a mix of investment strategies
and asset classes, including but not limited to equity (“stock”) positions, fixed income
securities (bonds, U.S. Treasuries, and mortgage backed securities), options, investment
company (“mutual fund”) products, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), Real Estate Investment
Trusts (“REITs), cash, cash equivalents, other securities and investment instruments, and third-
party money managers and programs.
Inverse & Leveraged Investments
We may utilize inverse mutual funds and/or ETFs that are designed to perform in an inverse
(opposite) relationship to certain market indices (at a rate of one or more times the inverse
result of the corresponding index). In addition, we may also use leveraged (enhanced)
mutual funds or ETFs that provide an enhanced relationship to certain market indices (at a
rate of more than one times the actual result of the corresponding index). These strategies
involve a higher level of inherent risk, and therefore, you may direct us, in writing, not to
employ any or all such investment strategies. See Item 8, “Methods of Analysis, Investment
Strategies & Risk of Loss” for a more detailed description of the risks associated with using
inverse/enhanced investments.
Third-Party Money Managers
We may use the services of a third-party money manager or program (“TPM”) to manage all
or a portion of your investment portfolio. Factors that we take into consideration when
selecting a TPM include, but are not limited to, the following: the TPM’s performance,
methods of analysis, fees, your financial needs, investment goals, risk tolerance, and
investment objectives. We will monitor the TPM’s performance to ensure its management
and investment style remains aligned with your investment goals and objectives. The TPM
will actively manage your portfolio on a discretionary basis. We will assume discretionary
authority to hire and fire the TPM and/or reallocate your assets to other TPM’s where we
deem such action appropriate.
Held-Away Retirement Plan Assets
We have entered a third-party agreement with Pontera Solutions, Inc. (“Pontera”), enabling
us to manage and trade on assets held in employer-sponsored retirement plans and qualified
tuition plans, such as defined contribution plan participant accounts (i.e., 401(k) and
403(b)), annuities, 457 deferred compensation plans, and 529 education savings plans
(collectively herein referred to as “Held-Away Assets”). The Pontera platform links these
Held-Away Assets in a single interface; providing a more comprehensive view of your
retirement assets and allowing us the ability to implement asset allocation and opportunistic
rebalancing strategies that would otherwise be constrained due to regulatory limitations
related to federal and state custody laws.
Mint Asset Management, LLC
Form ADV: Part 2A
© 38 Compliance jointly with eAdvisor Compliance, Inc. – Disclosure Brochure Design Layout. www.eAdvisorCompliance.com
Page 5 of 21
DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
Upon engagement, Pontera will provide a secure link for you to gain access to their
platform. There, you will provide detailed information relating to your Held-Away Assets
and establish the login credentials to those accounts. We will not have direct login capability
to those held-away assets. You maintain personal autonomy, allowing us only to allocate
and trade those accounts you linked to the Pontera platform.
Other disclosures related to our arrangement with Pontera are as follows:
Pontera charges an asset-based annual fee of 0.30% for each retirement account we
manage on their platform. The fee is calculated at the beginning of each calendar
quarter (i.e., 0.30% ¸ 4 = 0.075%) and billed to us – you do not pay directly for this
service. This will NOT result in you paying a management fee higher than what we
have currently disclosed in our fee schedule in Item 5, “Fees & Compensation.”
Our investment advice is limited by the investment choices available within your
retirement or tuition plan. We are not responsible for any costs, expenses, transaction
fees, redemption fees, penalties, or otherwise resulting from any account transactions.
We will not have, nor will we accept, any authority to change beneficiaries or effect
account disbursements, or to process transfers of any funds to/from your retirement
or tuition account.
We are independent of and not owned by, affiliated with, or supervised by Pontera.
We do not accept responsibility to provide ongoing review, monitoring or performance
evaluation of any Held-Away Assets not linked to the Pontera platform.
If requested by you, we may consult or assist you regarding Held-Away Assets in matters
that include, but are not limited to, disposition of assets, transferring of non-managed
funds to/from the account(s), or assist with trades within the non-managed account(s),
but only as directed by you. You remain responsible for all decisions and consequences
regarding the Held-Away Assets.
It is your exclusive obligation and sole responsibility to immediately notify us, in
writing, if there is a change in your financial situation or investment objective(s)
including, but not limited to, personal/financial situation, goals, needs or
concerns/views regarding economic/political/financial climate as well as any changes
in investment alternatives, restrictions, etc. for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating
or revising any of our previous recommendations and/or services, or if you want to
impose, add or modify any reasonable restrictions to our investment advisory services.
Please Note: Unless you advise, in writing, to the contrary, there are no restrictions
on our services, other than to manage the account in accordance with your designated
investment objective.
Referral Services
In situations where we determine that a TPM’s investment advisory services are more suitable
for your needs than ours, we will recommend that you directly engage the TPM to provide
ongoing investment advisory services. You are under no obligation to accept our
recommendation, but should you do so, you will be required to enter into an investment
advisory agreement with the TPM. When your relationship is established with the TPM, we
step away and have no further interaction with you in an advisory capacity, unless otherwise
agreed to in writing. As compensation for the referral, we receive a fee from the TPM which
is based on a portion (up to 20%) of your advisory fee collected by the TPM. The TPM’s fee
schedule and referral fees shared with us are detailed in the TPM’s Disclosure Brochure (Form
ADV Part 2) and other required disclosure documents that we will provide to you when we
make the recommendation.

FEES & COMPENSATION
T
E
M

Portfolio Management Fee
Portfolio Management services are primarily provided on an asset-based fee arrangement. The
management fee will be calculated based on the aggregate market value of your portfolio
account(s) on the last business day of the previous quarter (i.e., March 31st, June 30th, September
30th, and December 31st) multiplied by one-fourth the corresponding annual fee rate for each
portion of your portfolio assets that fall within each tier.
We retain discretion to negotiate, waive, or reduce the management fee within each tier on a
client-by-client basis depending on the size, complexity, and nature of the portfolio managed.
In addition, as your portfolio value exceeds each tier level, either through additional deposits or
asset growth, a fee break will occur. Our standard fee schedule is as follows:
Portfolio Value
Annual Fee Rate
Not to Exceed
Up to $500,000 .........................................
1.50%
Next $500,000 ..........................................
1.25%
Next $500,000 ..........................................
1.00%
Next $1,000,000 .......................................
0.75%
Next $2,500,000 .......................................
0.50%
Over $5,000,000 .......................................
0.35%
For any portion of your account managed by a TPM, this management fee schedule and the
“Protocols for Portfolio Management” listed below may not apply.
If the TPM’s fee schedule and protocols apply, the TPM will disclose their fee schedule for
management services in their Disclosure Brochure (the money manager’s ADV Part 2A: Firm
Brochure), which we will provide you prior to engaging the TPM to manage your account. The
money manager will bill your account for management services based on their fee schedule and
split a portion of that management fee with us as agreed. Our portion of the management fee
received from the TPM will generally range between 0.50% and 1.25% of the portfolio’s market
value.
If our fee schedule and protocols apply, we will bill your account accordingly and share a portion
of the management fee with the TPM. The TPM’s portion of the management fee will generally
range between 0.25 and 1.00% of the portfolio’s market value. For example, if your account
value was $250,000 at the end of quarter, our quarterly fee would be $937.50 ($250,000
multiplied by 1.50% divided by four). If we engaged a TPM to manage the account based on our
fee schedule at an agreed upon annual fee of 0.25% of the account value, the TPM’s share of the
quarterly fee would be $156.25 ($250,000 multiplied by 0.25% divided by four) and our share
would be $781.25 ($937.50 minus $156.25).
The management fee split between the Company and TPM will not result in you paying a higher
management fee. Additional Details regarding the fee split arrangement will be provided to you
prior to engaging the TPM to manage your account.

DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
The TPM’s Disclosure Brochure contains all pertinent disclosures relating to their management
services, the fee structure for such services, and termination provisions – you are encouraged to
carefully review their document.
Please note that the fee schedules among TPMs will vary and may be higher or lower than our
fee schedule. Therefore, client accounts managed by a TPM may pay a higher or lower fee than
those managed solely by us.
Protocols for Portfolio Management
The following protocols establish how we handle our Portfolio Management accounts and what
you should expect when it comes to: (i) managing your account; (ii) your bill for investment
services; (iii) deposits and withdrawals of funds; and (iv) other fees charged to your account(s).
Discretion
We will establish discretionary trading authority on all management accounts to execute
securities transactions without your prior consent or advice.
You may, at any time, impose restrictions, in writing, on our discretionary authority (i.e.,
limit the types/amounts of particular securities purchased for your account, etc.).
Billing
Your account will be billed quarterly (i.e., March 31st, June 30th, September 30th, and
December 31st) in advance based on the aggregate, fair market value of your portfolio (i.e.,
investments/securities, cash, and cash equivalents) and where it falls within our tiered fee
schedule.
For managed accounts opened between billing periods, our fee will be pro-rated from
inception through the end of the quarterly billing period.
Management fees will be deducted first from any money market funds or cash balances. If
such assets are insufficient to satisfy payment of such fees, a portion of the account assets
will be liquidated to cover the fees. You have the option to pay us by check or electronically
via ACH.
Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, we will combine the account values of family members
living in the same household to determine the applicable management fee. For example, we
will combine the value of your managed account(s) with the values of managed accounts
held by your spouse or partner and dependent children. Combining account values may
increase the managed assets total, which could result in a reduced management fee based
on the breakpoints in our tiered fee schedule.
Other than the management fees listed in Item 5 (Fees & Compensation), we do not charge
you any additional fees.
Deposits and Withdrawals
Assets deposited by you into your portfolio management account between billing cycles will
not result in additional management fees being billed to your account. We do not want to
discourage you from investing additional capital for your future.,
We do not make partial refunds of our quarterly fee for withdrawals you make during a
calendar quarter.

Fee Exclusions
The above fees for all of our Portfolio Management services are exclusive of any charges
imposed by the custodial firm who has custody of your account; including, but not limited
to: (i) any Exchange/SEC fees; (ii) certain transfer taxes; (iii) service or account charges,
such as, postage/handling fees, electronic fund and wire transfer fees, auction fees, debit
balances, margin interest, certain odd-lot differentials and mutual fund short-term
redemption fees; and (iv) brokerage and execution costs associated with securities held in
your managed account. There can also be other fees charged to your account that are
unaffiliated with our management services.
In addition, all fees paid to us for Portfolio Management services are separate from any fees
and expenses charged on mutual funds and ETFs by the Investment Company or by the
investment advisor managing the mutual fund or ETF portfolios. These expenses generally
include management fees and various fund expenses, such as 12b-1 fees. Redemption fees,
account fees, purchase fees, contingent deferred sales charges, and other sales load charges
may occur but are the exception within managed accounts at institutional custodians. A
complete explanation of these expenses charged by the mutual funds and ETFs is contained
in each mutual fund’s or ETF’s prospectus. You are encouraged to carefully read the fund
prospectus.
For more information on the custodial firm that we will recommend to custody your portfolio
accounts, see Item 12, “Brokerage Practices”.
Termination of Portfolio Management Services
To terminate our Portfolio Management services, either party (you or us), by written
notification to the other party, may terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement at any time.
Such written notification should include the date the termination will go into effect along with
any final instructions on the account (e.g., liquidate the account, finalize all transactions
and/or cease all investment activity).
In the event termination does not fall on the last day of a calendar quarter, you shall be
entitled to a pro-rated refund of the prepaid quarterly management fee based on the number
of days remaining in the quarter after the termination notice goes into effect. If your portfolio
account is managed by a TPM, your portfolio account may be billed in advance or in arrears
and shall adhere to the termination policies set forth in the TPM’s ADV Part 2A: Firm Brochure.
Once the termination of investment advisory services has been implemented, neither party has
any obligation to the other – we no longer earn management fees or give investment advice
and you become responsible for making your own investment decisions.

METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES & RISK OF LOSS
T
E
M
8
Bryan Perry’s Private Clients’ portfolio management services are designed to build long-term
wealth while maintaining risk tolerance levels acceptable to you. We combine your financial
needs and investment objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance to yield an effective
investment strategy and portfolio allocation. Your portfolio is then tailored to these unique
investment parameters using a diversified mix of asset classes such as stocks, fixed income
securities, options, mutual funds, ETFs, REITs, cash, cash equivalents, other securities and
investment instruments, and third-party money managers.
Methods of Analysis
In analyzing securities to develop an efficient asset allocation portfolio, we will use a
combination of analysis techniques to gather information and to guide us in our management
decisions.
Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysis considers: efficiency ratios, growth rates, enterprise value, economic
conditions, earnings, cash flow, book value projections, industry outlook, politics (as it relates
to investments), historical data, price-earnings ratios, dividends, general level of interest
rates, company management, debt ratios and tax benefits.
RISKS – Fundamental analysis places greater value on the long-term financial structure and
health of a company, which may have little to no bearing on what is actually happening in
the market place. Investing in companies with sound financial data/strength and a history
of healthy returns can be a good long-term investment to hold in your portfolio; however,
such fundamental data does not always correlate to the trading value of the stock on the
exchanges. In the short-term, the stock can decrease in value as investors trade in other
market sectors.
Technical Analysis
Technical analysis utilizes current and historical pricing information to help us identify trends
in the broader domestic and foreign equity and fixed income markets, and in the underlying
assets themselves. This may involve the use of various technical indicators, such as moving
averages and trend-lines, among others.
RISKS – Technical analysis is charting the historical market data of a stock, taking into
consideration current market conditions, to forecast the direction of a future stock price
rather than using fundamental tools for evaluating a company’s financial strength. Technical
analysis focuses on the price movement of a security trading in the marketplace. This is an
ideal tool for short-term investing to identify ideal market entry/exit points. However, no
market indicator is absolutely reliable, and your investment portfolio can underperform in
the short-term should the market indicators be incorrect.
Fundamental analysis provides us with a broad long-term view of a security that begins with
determining a company’s value and the strength of its financials while technical analysis is short-
term, focusing on the statistics generated by market activity.

Investment Strategies
We strive for higher equity growth and income than the S&P with a target of having lower beta,
income assets with attractive yields and a defensive strategy focused on protecting assets during
market downturns. Bryan Perry’s Private Clients’ investment strategies are as follows:
Total Return Portfolio
Primary Goal: Our total return strategy is designed to focus on maximize returns while striving
to manage risks by investing in leading companies in their respective fields with growth
potential, offering innovative products and services to a rapidly expanding marketplace. We
focus on identifying companies with sustainable competitive advantages, strong management
teams, and a proven track record of delivering consistent growth. By investing in such
companies, we believe we can generate superior returns over the long term.
Investment Process:
Active management of high-growth stocks and high-beta ETFs that are characterized
by higher risk/reward ratios.
Market hedges through the use of cash or -1X inverse index ETFs.
We may elect to maintain up to a 100% cash position of total assets, depending on
market conditions.
Managing a diversified-by-sector portfolio consisting of large-cap, mid-cap and small-
cap equities targeting inefficiently priced high-growth companies with significant
potential for long-term price appreciation.
As higher-multiple stocks carry a higher degree of volatility, a larger emphasis is placed
on technical analysis in the course of portfolio management.
Identify sector rotation sensitive to ETF fund flows whereby stock and ETF selection is
validated by fundamental quantitative sales and earnings momentum analysis,
technical overlays.
Length of trades are based on directional trading discipline that depends on various
technical indicators and analysis.
Conservative Portfolio
Primary Goal: The goal for a conservative investment strategy is to create a diversified
portfolio that balances income and growth while also managing risk. The emphasis is on
generating income through dividends, interest, and other sources, while also seeking some
capital appreciation over the long term. This strategy strives to provide investors with a steady
stream of income. Covered call option strategies may be employed to enhance income. Overall,
this strategy aims to provide a stable return on investment while managing risk through
diversification and income generation.
Investment Process: We will focus on a mix of different asset classes, such as:
Treasuries and government agency notes and bonds: These could make up a portion of
the portfolio to provide a low-risk foundation and preserve capital.
Investment grade short duration corporate bonds: These could be included to add some
yield potential and diversification.
Government insured money markets: These could be included for liquidity and short-
term cash management.

dividend yield and potential for capital appreciation.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs): These could be included to provide exposure to
the real estate market and generate additional income.
Dividend stocks that are hedged via a covered call option strategy: These could be
included to provide further diversification and the potential for additional income

Income Portfolio
Primary Goal: To provide current income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective
to investors with a higher risk tolerance for income generation that exceeds that of short-term
conventional investment grade fixed income assets.
Investment Process: The strategy seeks to achieve its investment objectives by utilizing a
dynamic asset allocation strategy deployed among multiple fixed and non-fixed income sectors
in the global markets, including corporate debt, mortgage-related and other asset-backed
securities, government and sovereign debt, floating-rate income-producing securities, REITs
and common stocks.
Other Investment Strategies
In addition, we may use long term purchases, short-term purchases, trading, short sales,
margin transactions, options, and alternative assets when managing your assets.
Long-term purchases are investments held at least a year.
Short-term purchases are investments sold within a year.
Trading involves holding securities for less than 30 days.
You should be aware that frequent trading can affect investment performance, particularly
through increased brokerage and other transaction costs and taxes.
Short sales involve selling securities that the investor does not own and delivering the borrowed
securities to the purchaser, with an obligation to replace the borrowed securities at a later
date. The securities are borrowed from a third party, typically a broker-dealer. If the price of
the securities declines between the date of sale and date of repurchase, the investor will profit
to the extent that the decline in price exceeds the investor’s transaction and borrowing
expenses. The investor will incur a loss if the price of the securities rises.
Margin transactions involve the use current holdings as collateral to buy additional securities.
Options are contracts that give the owner the right to buy or sell a security at a specific price
and period of time. When an investor sells (writes) an option, the investor must deliver to the
buyer a specified number of shares if the buyer exercises the option. The seller pays the buyer
a premium (the market price of the option at a particular time) in exchange for writing the
option. When buying an option, the investor has the right to purchase or sell a security at a
specified price until the expiration date of the option.
Managing Risk
The biggest risk to you is the risk that the value of your investment portfolio will decrease due
to moves in the market. This risk is referred to as the market risk factor, also known as
variability or volatility risk. Other important risk factors:
Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk affects the value of bonds more than stocks.
Essentially, when the interest rate on a bond begins to rise, the value (bond price)
begins to drop; and vice versa, when interest rates on a bond fall, the bond value rises.
Equity Risk – Equity risk is the risk that the value of your stocks will depreciate due to
stock market dynamics causing one to lose money.
Currency Risk – Currency risk is the risk that arises from the change in price of one
currency against that of another. Investment values in international securities can be
affected by changes in exchange rates.
Inflation Risk – The reduction of purchasing power of investments over time.

DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
Commodity Risk – Commodity risk refers to the uncertainties of future market values
and the size of future income caused by the fluctuation in the prices of commodities
(i.e., grains, metals, food, electricity, etc.).
Margin Risk - Margin transactions may result in losses greater than the amount
deposited in the investor’s margin account. This may require additional funds to be
deposited or securities to be sold at a disadvantage to the investor.
Options Risk - Options on securities may be subject to greater fluctuations in value
than an investment in the underlying securities. Purchasing and writing put and call
options are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary investment
risks.
Leveraged Funds – Leveraged mutual funds and ETFs seek to provide leveraged returns
at multiples of the underlying benchmark or index they track. Leveraged funds
generally seek to provide a multiple of the daily return of an index or other benchmark
for a single day excluding fees and other expenses. In addition to using leverage, these
funds often use derivative products such as options, futures contracts, and swaps to
accomplish their objectives. The use of leverage and derivative instruments can cause
leveraged funds to be volatile and subject to extreme price movements.
Inverse Funds - Inverse mutual funds and ETFs seek to provide the opposite of the
performance of the index or benchmark they track. Their objective is to profit from,
or hedge exposure to, downward moving markets. Some inverse funds also use leverage
when seeking to achieve a return that is a multiple of the opposite performance of the
underlying index or benchmark. These funds may also use derivative instruments to
accomplish their investment objectives. Inverse funds are volatile and provide the
potential for significant losses.
The risk factors we have cited here are not intended to be an exhaustive list but are the most
common risks your portfolio will encounter. Other risks that we have not defined could be
political, over-concentration, and liquidity to name a few. However, notwithstanding these risk
factors, the most important thing for you to understand is that regardless of how we analyze
securities or the investment strategy and methodology we use to guide us in the management of
your investment portfolio, investing in a security involves a risk of loss that you should be
willing and prepared to bear. Furthermore, past market performance is no guarantee that
you will see equal or better future returns on your investment.

Although Mint Asset Management is not subject to the regulatory oversight of FINRA, the following
event is being disclosed to comply with the Company’s duty of full and fair disclosure to its
clients. In 1999, the NASD (now FINRA) alleged that Mr. Fishman operated a broker-dealer
without an introducing broker-dealer financial operations principal (FINOP) and failed to
maintain written supervisory procedures that addressed the receipt of client checks, thus
resulting in a violation of SEC net capital rules. Without admitting or denying the allegations,
Mr. Fishman consented to the NASD Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent and agreed to a
$5,000 fine, a six-month suspension from associating with any broker-dealer as a general
securities principal (i.e., function in a supervisory capacity), and to requalify by examination as
a general securities principal. Mr. Fishman has since paid the fine and successfully passed the
Series 24 (general securities principal exam). No further action was taken by FINRA and Mr.
Fishman has since been operating in good standing with securities regulators.

Financial Industry Activities
Bryan Perry authors articles, blogs, and other social media content (collectively “newsletters”)
in his individual capacity as an independent contractor for Eagle Publishing, an investment news
publisher, and Navellier & Associates, Inc., a registered investment advisor (both entities are
collectively herein referred to as “Newsletter Publishers”). Newsletters authored by Mr. Perry
in this capacity are published regularly, providing subscribers with access to market commentary,
various investment strategies, and recommendations, which can have a short-term, medium-
term, or long-term focus. The ideas, thoughts, and opinions reflected in the newsletters are his
own and do not purport to meet the investment objectives or financial needs of specific
individuals or accounts. From time to time, strategies and recommendations discussed in the
newsletters will be implemented in our personal accounts and, if deemed suitable, client
accounts managed by Mint. This creates a conflict of interest in that Mr. Perry and other
supervised persons will have knowledge of the recommendations before their publication.
Therefore, to prevent Mr. Perry and other supervised persons from misusing and misappropriating
any information that they become aware of before the publication of the newsletters, we have
adopted a trading policy that, among other things, (i) prohibits supervised persons from front-
running client trades and (ii) allows our Chief Compliance Officer to restrict trading in certain
investments before and/or following the publication of a newsletter.
The investment strategies, performance, and opinions in the newsletters should not be used to
evaluate Mint’s investment advisory services, which can be separate and different from the
newsletters, and should not be considered indicative of potential future investment performance
for any client account managed by Mint. Any questions concerning the newsletters, including any
newsletter subscriptions, advertising, or performance claims (calculated solely by the Newsletter
Publishers, not Mint), should be referred to the Newsletter Publisher. You are under no obligation
to subscribe to the newsletters authored by Mr. Perry.
Under a written solicitor agreement between Mint and Navellier, Mr. Perry receives
compensation for marketing Navellier’s investment advisory services to prospective investors
derived from Navellier’s other marketing efforts. Mr. Perry’s marketing and newsletter activities
represent a substantial source of his income and involve a substantial amount of his time, which
could impact his ability to manage your account effectively and provide objective
recommendations. To address these conflicts, client portfolios are regularly reviewed to ensure
consistency with the client’s investment objectives and selected strategies. In addition, as part
of our fiduciary duty to you, we prioritize your interests, and investment recommendations will
only be made to the extent that they are reasonably believed to be in your best interests.
Mint, Eagle Publishing, and Navellier are separate legal entities with no common ownership or
control. On occasion, we will engage Eagle Publishing to advertise our investment advisory
services to their newsletter subscribers. We do not share your personal information with Eagle
Publishing or Navellier for marketing or any other purposes.

Code of Ethics
As a fiduciary, the Company has an affirmative duty to render continuous, unbiased investment
advice, and at all times act in your best interest. To maintain this ethical responsibility, we have
adopted a Code of Ethics that establishes the fundamental principles of conduct and
Mint Asset Management, LLC
Form ADV: Part 2A

DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
professionalism expected by all personnel in discharging their duties. This Code is a value-laden
guide committing such persons to uphold the highest ethical standards, rooted in the most
elementary maxim. Our Code of Ethics is designed to deter inappropriate behavior and heighten
awareness as to what is right, fair, just and good by promoting:
Honest and ethical conduct.
Full, fair and accurate disclosure.
Compliance with applicable rules and regulations.
Reporting of any violation of the Code.
Accountability.
To help you understand our ethical culture and standards, how we control sensitive information
and what steps have been taken to prevent personnel from abusing their inside position, a copy
of our Code of Ethics is available for review upon request.
Client Transactions
We have a fiduciary duty to ensure that your welfare is not subordinated to any interests of ours
or of our personnel. The following disclosures are internal guidelines we have adopted to assist
us in protecting all of our clientele.
Participation or Interest
It is against our policies for any owners, officers, directors and employees to invest with you
or with a group of clients, or to advise you or a group of clients to invest in a private business
interest or other non-marketable investment unless prior approval has been granted by our
Chief Compliance Officer, and such investment is not in violation of any SEC and/or State rules
and regulations.
Insider Trading Policy
We comply with the Insider Trading and Securities Fraud Enforcement Act of 1988. We do not
share any non-public information with anyone who does not need to know and have established
internal controls to guard your personal information.
Personal Trading
Employees of ours are permitted to personally invest their own monies in securities, which may
also be, from time to time, recommended to you. Sometimes, such investment purchases are
independent of, and not connected in any way to, the investment decisions made on your behalf.
However, there may be instances where investment purchases for you may also be made, at or
about the same time, in an employee’s account. This practice creates a conflict of interest as
our employees may benefit from the sale and purchase of those securities. In these situations,
we have implemented the following guidelines in order to ensure our fiduciary integrity:
1. No employee acting as an Investment Advisor Representative (“IAR”), or who has
discretion over your account, shall buy or sell securities for their personal portfolio(s)
where their decision is substantially derived, in whole or in part, by reason of his or her
employment, unless the information is also available to the investing public on
reasonable inquiry. No employee of ours shall prefer his or her own interest to that of
yours or any other advisory client.
2. Our Chief Compliance Officer, or a designated supervisor, reviews securities holdings for
all our access employees on a regular basis.
3. We require that all employees act in accordance with all applicable Federal and State
regulations governing registered investment advisory practices.

4. Bunched orders (See “Aggregating Trade Orders” below under Item 12, “Brokerage
Practices”) may include employee accounts. In such cases, all client and employee
accounts will receive an average share price, and transaction costs, if any, will be shared
equally and on a pro rata basis. If a bunched trade is not completely filled, shares will
be allocated in a fair and equitable manner.
5. Any individual not in observance of the above may be subject to termination.
Personal trading activities are monitored by our Chief Compliance Officer to ensure that such
activities do not impact upon your security or create conflicts of interest.

BROKERAGE PRACTICES

Custodial Services
The Company typically recommends the custodial services of Charles Schwab & Company, Inc.
(“Schwab”) and Interactive Brokers, LLC (“Interactive Brokers”), both of which are registered
broker-dealers and members of FINRA and SIPC. Schwab and Interactive Brokers offer us services,
which include custody of securities, trade execution, clearance and settlement of transactions.
Our recommendation for you to custody your assets with Schwab or Interactive Brokers has no
direct correlation to the services we receive from the Custodians and the investment advice we
offer you, although we do receive economic benefits for which we do not have to pay through
our relationship with the Custodians that are typically not available to Schwab and Interactive
Brokers retail clients. This creates an incentive for us to recommend Schwab and Interactive
Brokers based on the economic benefits we receive rather than on your interest in receiving most
favorable execution. These economic benefits include the following products and services
provided without cost or at a discount:
Receipt of duplicate client statements and confirmations;
Research related products and tools and consulting services;
Access to a dedicated trading desk;
Access to batch trading (which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions
for execution and then allocate the appropriate shares to accounts);
The ability to have advisory fees deducted directly from accounts; and
Access to an electronic communications network for order entry and account
information.
We are not a subsidiary of, or an affiliated entity of, Schwab or Interactive Brokers. We have
sole responsibility for investment advice rendered, and our advisory services are provided
separately and independently from Schwab and Interactive Brokers.
Direction of Transactions and Commission Rates (Best Execution)
We have a fiduciary duty to put your interests before our own. The advisory support services
we receive from these custodians creates an economic benefit to us and a potential conflict
of interest to you; in that, our recommendation to custody your account(s) with Schwab or
Interactive Brokers may have been influenced by these arrangements/services. This is not the
case; we have selected Schwab and Interactive Brokers as our custodian of choice based on:
1. Their competitive transaction charges, trading platform, and on-line services for
account administration and operational support.
2. Their general reputation, trading capabilities, investment inventory, their financial
strength, and our personal experience in working with Schwab and Interactive
Brokers staff.

Page 16 of 21
DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
We do not generally permit you to direct us to use a particular broker-dealer outside of Schwab
or Interactive to execute your account transactions. Since we do not recommend, suggest, or
make available a selection of broker-dealers/custodians other than Schwab or Interactive
Brokers, favorable execution of your account transactions may not always be achieved, and
you may pay higher transaction fees. Not all investment advisers require clients to use a
particular broker-dealer.
Selection of Third-Party Money Managers
We may select various TPM’s to manage your portfolio accounts. We will assist you in
determining which is most likely to provide the most effective financial growth based on your
stated investment objectives and risk tolerance level. Where applicable, the brokerage practices
of the TPM will be disclosed in their ADV Part 2A: Firm Brochure, which we will provide you prior
to engaging the money manager to manage your account. As disclosed in Item 5, “Fees &
Compensation”, your management fee will be shared between us and the TPM. Because our fee
sharing arrangements vary with each TPM, this creates an incentive for us to recommend TPMs
that provide us with a higher portion of your management fee. We mitigate this conflict of
interest by fully disclosing to you the details of the fee-sharing arrangement and by selecting
TPMs based on how well their investment strategies align with your investment objectives. In
addition, prior to engagement and on a periodic basis, we review each TPM to ensure they are
properly registered and have the reputation, experience, and credentials to provide investment
management services.
While we have exercised our best efforts in evaluating the investment performance and cost of
services offered by these TPMs, we make no representation that the TPM to which you are
referred has the best investment performance or the lowest portfolio management costs. The
selection of TPMs will be limited to those with whom we have entered into service agreements.
Therefore, it is possible that you could contract for similar services elsewhere or separately with
higher performance at a lower cost. You are under no obligation to accept our recommendation
to use a TPM to manage your portfolio.
Aggregating Trade Orders
Our objective in order execution is to act fairly, impartially, and to take all reasonable steps to
obtain the best possible results (known as “best execution”) for our clients. Therefore, we
typically bunch (aggregate) orders for a block trade when: (i) the bunching of orders is done for
the purpose of achieving best execution; and, (ii) no client is systematically advantaged or
disadvantaged by bunching the orders. Client accounts participating in the bunched order will
receive an average share price, and transaction costs, if any, will be shared equally and on a pro
rata basis. If a bunched trade is not completely filled, shares will be allocated in a fair and
equitable manner.
In consideration of these objectives, we will take into account the unique execution factors of
the buy/sell order before bunching accounts for a block trade. A few of those factors are:
Security Trading Volume – Bunching orders in a block trade can secure price parity
and continuity for our clients during heavy trading activity.
Number of Clients – The fewer the number of client accounts involved in the bunched
order may not yield better pricing or order execution; it may be more advantageous
to perform an individual market order for each client. In addition, preparing individual
market orders, for the small number accounts involved, may be quicker to complete
than preparing a bunch order.
Financial Instruments – The type of security involved as well as the complexity of
order can affect our ability to achieve best execution.

Portfolio Management Reviews
Your investment strategies and investments are monitored and reviewed on an ongoing basis by
our Managing Member, Steven Fishman, and Portfolio Manager, Bryan Perry. The general
economy, market conditions, and/or changes in tax law can trigger more frequent reviews. Cash
needs will be adjusted as necessary. Material changes in your personal/financial situation and/or
investment objectives will require additional review and evaluation for us to properly advise you
on revisions to previous recommendations and/or services. However, it is your responsibility to
communicate these changes for us to make the appropriate corrections to your management
account(s).
You will receive statements, at least quarterly, from the custodian where your account(s) are
held in custody that identify your current investment holdings, the cost of each of those
investments, and their current market values. In addition to receiving account statements from
the custodian, we may provide you with a monthly or quarterly written report summarizing your
portfolio. You are encouraged to carefully review and compare your account statements with
reports that we may send to you. It is important for you to review these documents for accurate
reporting and to determine whether we are meeting your investment expectations.
Third-Party Money Manager Reviews
If agreed to in writing, our Managing Member, Steven Fishman, will monitor and evaluate the
performance of the TPM managing your account on a regular basis. We understand your goals
and tolerance for risk may change over time; therefore, even though we may not be involved
with the day-to-day management of your assets maintained with a TPM, we will supervise your
portfolio and will make recommendations to you regarding the TPMs as market factors and your
personal goals dictate.

Referral Compensation
Please see sub-section titled “Selection of Third-Party Money Managers” under Item 12,
“Brokerage Practices”, for the conflicts of interest related to referral and fee sharing
compensation arrangements with TPMs.
We may directly compensate persons/firms for client referrals, provided those persons are
qualified and have entered a solicitation agreement with us. Under such arrangements, if a
solicitor referred you to us, you will be provided with complete information on our relationship
and the compensation that solicitor will receive should you choose to open an account. In no
case will the fee that you pay be higher than it would be if you had dealt directly with us. In
addition, we will adhere to each State’s rules and regulations where the Solicitor resides prior
to entering into any solicitation agreement with that person/firm.
We have engaged a third-party lead-generation, marketing, and appointment-setting service to
help identify and connect prospective clients with our firm. This service is not an investment
adviser or wealth management firm and does not provide investment advice to prospects. We
pay this service a flat monthly fee that is not contingent on the number of leads generated,
appointments set, or whether any prospect becomes a client of our firm. If you were referred to

DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
us through this service, the fee you pay for our advisory services is not increased as a result of
this arrangement, and you will pay the same fee you would have paid had you come to us directly.
Other Compensation (Indirect Benefit)
The Company receives an indirect economic benefit from Schwab and Interactive Brokers (See
“Custodial Services” above under Item 12, “Brokerage Practices” for more detailed information
on what these services and products could be.).
Retirement Transfer Compensation
When it comes to your retirement account, you have four options to consider when transitioning
employment from one employer to another, or for when you are seeking full retirement:
Leave the account assets in the former employer’s plan, if permitted;
Transfer the assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available and transfers are
permitted;
Transfer the account assets to an Individual Retirement Account (an “IRA”); or,
Cash out the retirement account assets (There will be tax consequences and/or IRS
penalties depending on your age.).
Should you approach us to advise you on which option would be the best for your particular
situation, we have an economic incentive to recommend you transfer your retirement account
to a managed IRA account with us where we would earn a management fee on the assets. This
creates a conflict of interest because the advice we render can be subjective and a cost to you.
Therefore, if we recommend you transfer your retirement account to an IRA account, you are
under no obligation to engage us to manage your assets. You are free to take your account
anywhere.

Management Fee Deduction
We do not take possession of or maintain custody of your funds or securities but will simply
monitor the holdings within your portfolio and trade your account based on your stated
investment objectives and guidelines. Physical possession and custody of your funds and/or
securities are maintained with a qualified custodian as indicated above in Item 12, “Brokerage
Practices.”
We do however, meet the definition of custody since you have authorized us to deduct our
advisory fees directly from your account. Therefore, to comply with the custody requirements
for investment advisers under SEC Rule 206(4)-2, and to protect you as well as to protect our
advisory practice, we have implemented the following regulatory safeguards:
Your funds and securities will be maintained with a qualified custodian (Schwab or
Interactive Brokers) in a separate account in your name.
Authorization to withdraw our management fees directly from your account will be
approved by you prior to engaging in any portfolio management services.
In addition, the custodian is required by law to send you, at least quarterly, brokerage statements
summarizing the specific investments currently held in your account, the value of your portfolio,
and account transactions. You are encouraged to compare and review the financial data
contained in our reports and fee invoices to the account statement received from the custodian
to verify the accuracy of our reporting and billing. The account custodian does not verify the
accuracy of the portfolio management fee calculation.

What We Do
We manage wealth. We provide investment management solutions designed to maximize your
wealth, meet your income needs, and minimize risk. We will do our best to keep you focused on
where you want to go, offer advice on how to get there, and remind you of the importance of
maintaining a disciplined investment approach to realize your investment goals. While Mint offers
a broad range of portfolio management services through its two divisions, this Disclosure
Brochure is limited to the SpaceMint Investment Portfolio, an investment strategy managed
directly by Mint Asset Management at the firm level.
SpaceMint Investment Portfolio
The SpaceMint Investment Portfolio ("SIP") seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing
across the publicly traded global space economy ecosystem. Portfolios are tailored to each
client's investment objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizon. The strategy may invest in
common equities (domestic and foreign), American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), exchange-
traded funds (ETFs), open-end mutual funds, listed investment trusts (including foreign-listed),
and commodity-linked ETFs and equity securities, each deriving a material portion of their
revenue, operations, or asset value from the exploration, commercialization, and
industrialization of space-related industries
SIP employs a thematic, long-biased, multi-layer approach across the space economy. Rather
than concentrating in a single segment, the strategy is constructed across the full vertical
supply chain to reduce single-sector concentration risk while maximizing participation in the
long-term growth of the space economy.
The investment philosophy is guided by four core principles:
1. Supply Chain Completeness — Seeking value at every layer of the space economy: raw
materials → components → systems → launch → communications → data → AI
applications.
2. Government Contract Defensibility — Prioritizing companies with long-term, recurring
contracts with U.S. and allied government agencies, including NASA, the U.S. Space Force,
the Department of Defense, and related intelligence and scientific agencies, which provide
revenue visibility and business durability.
3. Competitive Moat Identification — Focusing on companies with defensible competitive
advantages, including licensed spectrum assets, proprietary orbital positions, exclusive
launch contracts, and patented technologies.
4. Catalyst Awareness — Monitoring and positioning around identifiable near-term and
medium-term industry catalysts, including government procurement cycles, scheduled
launch milestones, and commercial space station development programs.
The global space economy represents a long-term growth opportunity driven by expanding
government expenditures, increasing commercial participation, and rising demand for satellite-
based connectivity, geospatial intelligence, and space-based infrastructure. SIP is designed to
capture growth across multiple layers of the space economy supply chain, spanning raw material
extraction and component manufacturing to launch services, satellite communications, data
analytics, and artificial intelligence applications.

Betterment, LLC
Through a sub-advisory arrangement, we have partnered with Betterment, LLC
("Betterment"), an independent SEC-registered investment advisor, to bring the SIP directly
to your account through its Wrap Fee Program on its online platform, providing you with
secure, real-time access to your account. As a condition of using SIP on the Betterment
Platform, you will be required to electronically sign a separate sub-advisory agreement and
brokerage agreement directly with Betterment and its affiliated broker-dealer, Betterment
Securities (a member of FINRA and SIPC). Once those agreements are in place, we will set or
modify investment allocations and risk levels, enable or disable tools such as tax-loss
harvesting and rebalancing, and direct Betterment on which investments to use in your
account through its platform. We, not Betterment, will serve as your primary investment
adviser and point of contact. Betterment will act as a discretionary sub-advisor on your
account, meaning it will handle all trading, but only within the specific guidelines we have
established for your account. The fees you pay us include a wrap fee charged by Betterment,
which covers its investment management services, account custody, and trade execution
costs. Betterment’s fees typically range from 0.12% to 0.25% per annum of your account
balance and are billed directly to us. You will not receive a separate bill from Betterment;
all charges are bundled into the account management fees you pay us, as outlined in Item 5,
"Fees & Compensation."
Mint and Betterment are independent of one another and are not affiliated with, sponsored,
endorsed, or supervised by each other. Our ongoing role in managing your account under the
Betterment Wrap Fee Program is described above. Additional terms and conditions for
participation in the Betterment Wrap Fee Program are set forth in a separate Disclosure
Brochure (Form ADV Part 2) and Betterment Wrap Fee Brochure available at
https://www.betterment.com/legal/form-adv-part-2. Betterment will provide you with a
copy of its Disclosure Brochure and Wrap Fee Brochure before or at the time of your
enrollment in the program.
You should also note that the total cost of the wrap fee, relative to an unbundled fee
arrangement, will depend on several factors, including the size of Betterment's wrap fee,
the level of trading activity in your account, and the overall value of services received. In
general, wrap fee arrangements tend to be more cost-effective for accounts with higher
trading activity, while accounts with minimal trading activity may incur higher costs under
this structure. Unbundled fee arrangements, in which advisory, custodial, and brokerage
services are billed separately, are available from other providers.
Information about our management fee structure is disclosed under “Portfolio Management Fee”
in Item 5, “Fees & Compensation,” and a further description of our investment strategies appears
under Item 8, “Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies & Risk of Loss.” Please see Item 12,
“Brokerage Practices” for more information about the custody and execution services provided
by Betterment Securities.

The management fee is assessed only on assets exceeding $5,000 and accrues daily based on the
account's average daily balance, with billing occurring monthly in arrears.
We retain the discretion to negotiate, waive, or reduce the management fee on a client-by-client
basis, depending on the size, complexity, and nature of the portfolio managed. Protocols for
Portfolio Management.
Protocols for Portfolio Management
The following protocols establish how we handle our Portfolio Management accounts and what
you should expect when it comes to: (i) managing your account; (ii) your bill for investment
services; (iii) other fees charged to your account(s).
Discretion
We will establish discretionary trading authority on all management accounts to execute
securities transactions without your prior consent or advice.
You may, at any time, impose restrictions, in writing, on our discretionary authority (i.e.,
limit the types/amounts of particular securities purchased for your account, etc.).
Billing
Your account will be billed monthly in arrears based on the management fee schedule above,
with the amount deducted from your account.
For managed accounts opened between billing periods, our fee will be prorated from
inception through the end of the monthly billing period.
Management fees will be deducted first from any money market funds or cash balances. If
such assets are insufficient to satisfy payment of such fees, a portion of the account assets
will be liquidated to cover the fees.
To determine your management fee, we aggregate the account values of all household
members living at the same address. This includes your managed account(s) combined with
those of your spouse or partner and any dependent children.
Other than the management fees listed in Item 5 (Fees & Compensation), we do not charge
you any additional fees.
Fee Exclusions
Fees paid to us for Portfolio Management services are separate from any fees and expenses
charged on mutual funds and ETFs by the Investment Company or by the investment advisor
managing the mutual fund or ETF portfolios. These expenses generally include management
fees and various fund expenses, such as 12b-1 fees. Redemption fees, account fees, purchase
fees, contingent deferred sales charges, and other sales load charges may occur but are the
exception within managed accounts at institutional custodians. A complete explanation of
these expenses charged by the mutual funds and ETFs is contained in each mutual fund’s or
ETF’s prospectus. You are encouraged to carefully read the fund prospectus.

Betterment's wrap fee covers sub-advisory, custody, and most trading and transaction costs.
It does not cover the mutual fund and ETF expenses noted above, nor any special service
fees charged by Betterment Securities, such as paper statements, physical certificates, or
outgoing account transfers (ACAT).
Termination of Portfolio Management Services
To terminate our portfolio management services, either party (you or us), by written
notification to the other party, may terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement
(“Agreement”) at any time. Such written notification should include the date the termination
will go into effect, along with any final instructions on the account (e.g., liquidate the account,
finalize all transactions and/or cease all investment activity).
Upon termination of the Agreement, you remain responsible for all portfolio management fees
incurred through the termination date. If the Agreement is terminated mid-billing period, the
applicable fee will be prorated based on the number of days the account was managed during
that month and deducted accordingly, unless you instruct us otherwise.

METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES & RISK OF LOSS
T
E
M
8
Methods of Analysis
In analyzing securities to develop an efficient asset allocation portfolio, we will use a
combination of analysis techniques to gather information and to guide us in our management
decisions.
Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysis considers: efficiency ratios, growth rates, enterprise value, economic
conditions, earnings, cash flow, book value projections, industry outlook, politics (as it relates
to investments), historical data, price-earnings ratios, dividends, general level of interest
rates, company management, debt ratios, and tax benefits.
RISKS – Fundamental analysis places greater value on the long-term financial structure and
health of a company, which may have little to no bearing on what is actually happening in
the marketplace. Investing in companies with sound financial data/strength and a history of
healthy returns can be a good long-term investment to hold in your portfolio; however, such
fundamental data does not always correlate to the trading value of the stock on the
exchanges. In the short-term, the stock can decrease in value as investors trade in other
market sectors.
Technical Analysis
Technical analysis utilizes current and historical pricing information to help us identify trends
in the broader domestic and foreign equity and fixed income markets, and in the underlying
assets themselves. This may involve the use of various technical indicators, such as moving
averages and trend-lines, among others.
RISKS – Technical analysis is charting the historical market data of a stock, taking into
consideration current market conditions, to forecast the direction of a future stock price
rather than using fundamental tools for evaluating a company’s financial strength. Technical
analysis focuses on the price movement of a security trading in the marketplace. This is an
ideal tool for short-term investing to identify ideal market entry/exit points. However, no
market indicator is absolutely reliable, and your investment portfolio can underperform in
the short-term should the market indicators be incorrect.
Fundamental analysis provides us with a broad long-term view of a security that begins with
determining a company’s value and the strength of its financials while technical analysis is short-
term, focusing on the statistics generated by market activity.
Investment Strategies
As part of the SIP strategy, the following categories of publicly traded securities may be included:
Domestic and Foreign Equities
SIP may invest in equities spanning the full breadth of the space economy, including launch
services and spacecraft manufacturers; satellite communications and connectivity providers;
telecommunications companies with satellite infrastructure divisions; optical and laser
communications technology providers; geospatial intelligence, Earth observation, and mapping
Mint Asset Management, LLC

DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
companies; cloud infrastructure and orbital computing companies; artificial intelligence and
data analytics platforms with government space contracts; aerospace and defense companies
with significant space-related operations; space technology component and systems
manufacturers; insurance, reinsurance, and risk management companies with space industry
practices; companies holding licensed radio frequency spectrum used in satellite operations;
and critical materials, rare earth, lithium, and uranium producers supplying the space industry.
Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)
SIP may invest in ETFs across several categories, including pure-play space and space
exploration ETFs; aerospace and defense sector ETFs; and commodity ETFs covering space-
critical materials such as rare earth and strategic metals, lithium and battery technology,
critical and energy transition minerals, and uranium and nuclear energy.
Mutual Funds
SIP may invest in mutual funds with meaningful exposure to the space economy, including
aerospace and defense sector mutual funds, technology sector mutual funds with material
space economy exposure, and specialty investment trusts focused on space technology
companies."
American Depositary Receipts (ADRs)
SIP may invest in ADRs, which are U.S. exchange-listed certificates representing shares in
foreign companies, providing access to internationally domiciled space economy companies
without the complexities of direct foreign market trading.
Listed Investment Trusts (Including Foreign-Listed)
SIP may invest in listed investment trusts, which are closed-end pooled investment vehicles
traded on stock exchanges that hold a portfolio of underlying assets. This includes foreign-
listed trusts domiciled outside the United States, particularly those traded on international
exchanges such as the London Stock Exchange, providing additional exposure to space economy
companies and assets across global markets
Other Investment Strategies
In addition, we may use long-term purchases, short-term purchases, and trading when
managing your assets.
Long-term purchases are investments held for at least a year.
Short-term purchases are investments sold within a year.
Trading involves holding securities for less than 30 days.
Please note that SIP accounts on the Betterment platform may experience additional trading
due to automatic rebalancing and tax-loss harvesting, which may increase taxable gains and
losses. We will use these tools only if they align with your overall tax situation and investment
objectives.
You should be aware that frequent trading can affect investment performance, particularly
through increased brokerage and other transaction costs and taxes.

DISCLOSURE BROCHURE
Managing Risk
The biggest risk to you is the risk that the value of your investment portfolio will decrease due
to moves in the market. This risk is referred to as the market risk factor, also known as
variability or volatility risk. Other important risk factors:
Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk affects the value of bonds more than stocks.
Essentially, when the interest rate on a bond begins to rise, the value (bond price)
begins to drop; and vice versa, when interest rates on a bond fall, the bond value rises.
Equity Risk – Equity risk is the risk that the value of your stocks will depreciate due to
stock market dynamics causing one to lose money.
Currency Risk – Currency risk is the risk that arises from the change in price of one
currency against that of another. Investment values in international securities can be
affected by changes in exchange rates.
Foreign Currency Risk - Foreign-listed securities, ADRs, and foreign ETFs are subject
to exchange rate fluctuations that may reduce returns when converted to U.S. dollars.
Inflation Risk – The reduction of purchasing power of investments over time.
Commodity Risk – Commodity risk refers to the uncertainties of future market values
and the size of future income caused by the fluctuation in the prices of commodities
(i.e., grains, metals, food, electricity, etc.).
The risk factors we have cited here are not intended to be an exhaustive list but are the most
common risks your portfolio will encounter. Other risks that we have not defined could be
political, over-concentration, and liquidity to name a few. However, notwithstanding these risk
factors, the most important thing for you to understand is that regardless of how we analyze
securities or the investment strategy and methodology we use to guide us in the management of
your investment portfolio, investing in a security involves a risk of loss that you should be
willing and prepared to bear. Furthermore, past market performance is no guarantee that
you will see equal or better future returns on your investment.

DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
T
E
M
9
Although Mint Asset Management is not subject to the regulatory oversight of FINRA, the following
event is being disclosed to comply with the Company’s duty of full and fair disclosure to its
clients. In 1999, the NASD (now FINRA) alleged that Mr. Fishman operated a broker-dealer
without an introducing broker-dealer financial operations principal (FINOP) and failed to
maintain written supervisory procedures that addressed the receipt of client checks, thus
resulting in a violation of SEC net capital rules. Without admitting or denying the allegations,
Mr. Fishman consented to the NASD Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent and agreed to a
$5,000 fine, a six-month suspension from associating with any broker-dealer as a general
securities principal (i.e., function in a supervisory capacity), and to requalify by examination as
a general securities principal. Mr. Fishman has since paid the fine and successfully passed the
Series 24 (general securities principal exam). No further action was taken by FINRA and Mr.
Fishman has since been operating in good standing with securities regulators.

Financial Industry Activities
One of our supervised persons authors articles, blogs, and other social media content
(collectively “newsletters”) in his individual capacity as an independent contractor for Eagle
Publishing, an investment news publisher, and Navellier & Associates, Inc., a registered
investment advisor (both entities are collectively herein referred to as “Newsletter Publishers”).
Newsletters authored by him in this capacity are published regularly, providing subscribers with
access to market commentary, various investment strategies, and recommendations, which can
have a short-term, medium-term, or long-term focus. The ideas, thoughts, and opinions
reflected in the newsletters are his own and do not purport to meet the investment objectives
or financial needs of specific individuals or accounts. From time to time, strategies and
recommendations discussed in the newsletters will be implemented in our personal accounts
and, if deemed suitable, client accounts managed by Mint. This creates a conflict of interest in
that our supervised persons will have knowledge of the recommendations before their
publication. Therefore, to prevent our supervised persons from misusing and misappropriating
any information that they become aware of before the publication of the newsletters, we have
adopted a trading policy that, among other things, (i) prohibits supervised persons from front-
running client trades and (ii) allows our Chief Compliance Officer to restrict trading in certain
investments before and/or following the publication of a newsletter.
The investment strategies, performance, and opinions in the newsletters should not be used to
evaluate Mint’s investment advisory services, which can be separate and different from the
newsletters, and should not be considered indicative of potential future investment performance
for any client account managed by Mint. Any questions concerning the newsletters, including any
newsletter subscriptions, advertising, or performance claims (calculated solely by the Newsletter
Publishers, not Mint), should be referred to the Newsletter Publisher. You are under no obligation
to subscribe to these newsletters.
Under a written solicitor agreement between Mint and Navellier, this supervised person also
receives compensation for marketing Navellier’s investment advisory services to prospective
investors derived from Navellier’s other marketing efforts. This supervised person’s marketing
and newsletter activities represent a substantial source of his income and involve a substantial
amount of his time, which could impact his ability to manage your account effectively and
provide objective recommendations. To address these conflicts, client portfolios are regularly
reviewed to ensure consistency with the client’s investment objectives and selected strategies.
In addition, as part of our fiduciary duty to you, we prioritize your interests, and investment
recommendations will only be made to the extent that they are reasonably believed to be in your
best interests.
Mint, Eagle Publishing, and Navellier are separate legal entities with no common ownership or
control. On occasion, we will engage Eagle Publishing to advertise our investment advisory
services to their newsletter subscribers. We do not share your personal information with Eagle
Publishing or Navellier for marketing or any other purposes.

Code of Ethics
As a fiduciary, the Company has an affirmative duty to render continuous, unbiased investment
advice, and at all times act in your best interest. To maintain this ethical responsibility, we have
adopted a Code of Ethics that establishes the fundamental principles of conduct and
professionalism expected by all personnel in discharging their duties. This Code is a value-laden
Mint Asset Management, LLC

guide committing such persons to uphold the highest ethical standards, rooted in the most
elementary maxim. Our Code of Ethics is designed to deter inappropriate behavior and heighten
awareness as to what is right, fair, just and good by promoting:
Honest and ethical conduct.
Full, fair and accurate disclosure.
Compliance with applicable rules and regulations.
Reporting of any violation of the Code.
Accountability.
To help you understand our ethical culture and standards, how we control sensitive information
and what steps have been taken to prevent personnel from abusing their inside position, a copy
of our Code of Ethics is available for review upon request.
Client Transactions
We have a fiduciary duty to ensure that your welfare is not subordinated to any interests of ours
or of our personnel. The following disclosures are internal guidelines we have adopted to assist
us in protecting all of our clientele.
Participation or Interest
It is against our policies for any owners, officers, directors and employees to invest with you
or with a group of clients, or to advise you or a group of clients to invest in a private business
interest or other non-marketable investment unless prior approval has been granted by our
Chief Compliance Officer, and such investment is not in violation of any SEC and/or State rules
and regulations.
Insider Trading Policy
We comply with the Insider Trading and Securities Fraud Enforcement Act of 1988. We do not
share any non-public information with anyone who does not need to know and have established
internal controls to guard your personal information.
Personal Trading
Employees of ours are permitted to personally invest their own monies in securities, which may
also be, from time to time, recommended to you. Sometimes, such investment purchases are
independent of, and not connected in any way to, the investment decisions made on your behalf.
However, there may be instances where investment purchases for you may also be made, at or
about the same time, in an employee’s account. This practice creates a conflict of interest as
our employees may benefit from the sale and purchase of those securities. In these situations,
we have implemented the following guidelines in order to ensure our fiduciary integrity:
1. No employee acting as an Investment Advisor Representative (“IAR”), or who has
discretion over your account, shall buy or sell securities for their personal portfolio(s)
where their decision is substantially derived, in whole or in part, by reason of his or her
employment, unless the information is also available to the investing public on
reasonable inquiry. No employee of ours shall prefer his or her own interest to that of
yours or any other advisory client.
2. Our Chief Compliance Officer, or a designated supervisor, reviews securities holdings for
all our access employees on a regular basis.
3. We require that all employees act in accordance with all applicable Federal and State
regulations governing registered investment advisory practices.

4. Any individual not in observance of the above may be subject to termination.
Personal trading activities are monitored by our Chief Compliance Officer to ensure that such
activities do not impact upon your security or create conflicts of interest.

BROKERAGE PRACTICES
T
E
M

Custodial Services
When you engage us to manage your assets under the SIP strategy, we will recommend that you
separately engage Betterment's sub-advisory services and the custodial and trade execution
services of its affiliated broker-dealer, Betterment Securities, as part of your participation in the
Betterment Wrap Fee Program. We do not open these accounts for you, although we may assist
you in completing the account-opening paperwork required by Betterment and Betterment
Securities. If you do not wish to place your assets with Betterment, then we cannot manage your
account under our SIP strategy on the Betterment platform.
If you agree to engage their services, Betterment Securities will hold your assets in a brokerage
account held in your name and buy and sell securities automatically as directed by Betterment
according to the SIP strategy used in your account. As described in Item 5, “Fees and
Compensation”, the management fee we charge you covers the cost of Betterment’s wrap fee,
resulting in no additional costs to you.
Our recommendation for you to custody your assets with Betterment Securities has no direct
correlation to the services we receive from them and the investment advice we offer you,
although we do receive economic benefits for which we do not have to pay through our
relationship with Betterment Securities that are typically not available to Betterment Securities
retail clients. This creates an incentive for us to recommend Betterment Securities based on the
economic benefits we receive rather than on your best interests. To address this conflict, we
are committed to acting in your best interest at all times. Our custodian recommendation is
made based on the quality, reliability, and value of services provided to you, not on the economic
benefits we receive.
These economic benefits received from Betterment Securities include the following products and
services provided without cost or at a discount:
Receipt of duplicate client statements and confirmations;
Research related products, tools, and consulting services;
Access to a dedicated trading desk;
Access to batch trading (which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions
for execution and then allocate the appropriate shares to accounts);
The ability to have advisory fees deducted directly from accounts; and
Access to an electronic communications network for order entry and account
information.
We are not a subsidiary of, or an affiliated entity of, Betterment or Betterment Securities.

The support services we receive from Betterment Securities create an economic benefit to us,
and a potential conflict of interest to you; in that, our recommendation to custody your

account(s) with Betterment
arrangements/services. However, this is not the case. We have a fiduciary duty to put your

interests before our own. We have selected Betterment as our custodian/broker-dealer for the
SIP strategy based on:
1. Their competitive transaction charges, trading platform, and online services for
account administration and operational support.
2. Their general reputation, trading capabilities, investment inventory, their financial
strength, and our personal experience in working with their staff.
We generally do not permit you to direct us to use a particular custodian/broker-dealer other
than Betterment Securities to execute your account transactions. Since we do not recommend,
suggest, or make available any custodians or broker-dealers other than Betterment Securities,
favorable execution of your account transactions may not always be achieved, and you may
pay higher transaction fees. Not all investment advisers require clients to use a particular
custodian or broker-dealer.
Please note that Betterment offers a cash sweep program to hold uninvested funds in client
accounts until they are used for securities transactions or withdrawn. Betterment will receive
payments from cash sweep program banks, which creates a conflict of interest. Neither Mint nor
its investment advisor representatives receive revenue from this program. Please refer to
Betterment's Form ADV Part 2A and Wrap Fee Brochure for details.
Aggregating Trade Orders
Betterment’s Sub‑Advisory Agreement separately permits Betterment to aggregate orders for
multiple clients (including Mint advisers’ clients, other advisors’ clients, Betterment retail
accounts, and Betterment employee accounts) and allocate average prices on a pro‑rata basis.
There is a risk that other Betterment client segments (e.g., retail, model‑portfolio clients) may
receive different or more favorable execution in particular circumstances, though Betterment’s
policy is to allocate fairly among all accounts. For additional information about Betterment’s
trade practices, please see the Betterment Form ADV Part 2A and Wrap Fee Brochure available
at https://www.betterment.com/legal/form-adv-part-2.

REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
T
E
M

Portfolio Management Reviews
Your investment strategies are monitored on an ongoing basis by our Managing Member, Steven
Fishman, and Portfolio Manager, Bryan Perry. At the strategy level, Mint regularly reviews model
allocations, screens for exceptions, and evaluates periodic drift reports from Betterment to
confirm that trading activity remains consistent with Mint's guidelines. Day-to-day rebalancing
and trade execution within those parameters are handled automatically by Betterment's system.
Reviews are conducted more frequently in response to significant changes in general economic
conditions, market conditions, or tax law. Material changes in your personal or financial
situation, or in your investment objectives, will prompt additional review and evaluation to
ensure our advice and services remain appropriate. However, it is your responsibility to
communicate such changes so that we may make the necessary adjustments to your account.
You will receive statements, at least quarterly, from the custodian where your account(s) are
held in custody that identify your current investment holdings, the cost of each of those
investments, and their current market values. In addition to receiving account statements from
the custodian, we may provide you with a monthly or quarterly written report summarizing your

portfolio. You are encouraged to carefully review and compare your account statements with
reports that we may send to you. It is important for you to review these documents for accurate
reporting and to determine whether we are meeting your investment expectations.

CLIENT REFERRALS & OTHER COMPENSATION
T
E
M
1
4
Referral Compensation
We may directly compensate persons/firms for client referrals, provided those persons are
qualified and have entered a solicitation agreement with us. Under such arrangements, if a
solicitor referred you to us, you will be provided with complete information on our relationship
and the compensation that solicitor will receive should you choose to open an account. In no
case will the fee that you pay be higher than it would be if you had dealt directly with us. In
addition, we will adhere to each State’s rules and regulations where the Solicitor resides prior
to entering into any solicitation agreement with that person/firm.
We have engaged a third-party lead-generation, marketing, and appointment-setting service to
help identify and connect prospective clients with our firm. This service is not an investment
adviser or wealth management firm and does not provide investment advice to prospects. We
pay this service a flat monthly fee that is not contingent on the number of leads generated,
appointments set, or whether any prospect becomes a client of our firm. If you were referred to
us through this service, the fee you pay for our advisory services is not increased as a result of
this arrangement, and you will pay the same fee you would have paid had you come to us directly.
Other Compensation (Indirect Benefit)
The Company receives an indirect economic benefit from Betterment Securities (See “Custodial
Services” above under Item 12, “Brokerage Practices” for more detailed information on what
these services and products could be.).
Retirement Transfer Compensation
When it comes to your retirement account, you have four options to consider when transitioning
employment from one employer to another, or for when you are seeking full retirement:
Leave the account assets in the former employer’s plan, if permitted;
Transfer the assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available and transfers are
permitted;
Transfer the account assets to an Individual Retirement Account (an “IRA”); or,
Cash out the retirement account assets (There will be tax consequences and/or IRS
penalties depending on your age.).
Should you approach us to advise you on which option would be the best for your particular
situation, we have an economic incentive to recommend you transfer your retirement account
to a managed IRA account with us where we would earn a management fee on the assets. This
creates a conflict of interest because the advice we render can be subjective and a cost to you.
Therefore, if we recommend you transfer your retirement account to an IRA account, you are
under no obligation to engage us to manage your assets. You are free to take your account
anywhere.

CUSTODY

Management Fee Deduction
We do not take possession of or maintain custody of your funds or securities but will simply
monitor the holdings within your portfolio and trade your account based on your stated
investment objectives and guidelines. Physical possession and custody of your funds and/or
securities are maintained with a qualified custodian as indicated above in Item 12, “Brokerage
Practices.”
We do however, meet the definition of custody since you have authorized us to deduct our
advisory fees directly from your account. Therefore, to comply with the custody requirements
for investment advisers under SEC Rule 206(4)-2, and to protect you as well as to protect our
advisory practice, we have implemented the following regulatory safeguards:
Your funds and securities will be maintained with a qualified custodian (Betterment
Securities) in a separate account in your name.
Authorization to withdraw our management fees directly from your account will be
approved by you prior to engaging in any portfolio management services.
In addition, the custodian is required by law to send you, at least quarterly, brokerage statements
summarizing the specific investments currently held in your account, the value of your portfolio,
and account transactions. You are encouraged to compare and review the financial data
contained in our reports and fee invoices to the account statement received from the custodian
to verify the accuracy of our reporting and billing. The account custodian does not verify the
accuracy of the portfolio management fee calculation.

INVESTMENT DISCRETION
T
E
M

6
We provide investment management services on a discretionary basis, with authority shared
between Mint and Betterment in different capacities. Mint sets and adjusts the investment
strategy, while Betterment executes trades through its automated platform within the
parameters set by Mint. By executing an investment advisory agreement, you grant Mint the
authority necessary to manage your account, while Betterment's discretionary authority is
established through a separate sub-advisory agreement. You retain full ownership rights at all
times and may place reasonable written limitations on our discretionary authority, provided they
do not adversely affect our ability to properly manage your account. You may revoke Mint's
authority by terminating your advisory agreement, or revoke Betterment's authority by closing
your Betterment account; however, either action may require the liquidation and transfer of
your assets.

VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES

We do not vote client proxies for accounts managed under the SpaceMint Investment Portfolio
strategy. You understand and agree that you retain the right to vote all proxies solicited for
securities held in your managed accounts. Any proxy solicitations we inadvertently receive will
be forwarded to you immediately for your evaluation and decision. However, if you have specific
questions regarding an action being solicited by the proxy that you do not understand, or you

We are not required to include financial information in our Disclosure Brochure since we will not

in advance for more than $1,200.
We are not aware of any current financial conditions that are likely to impair our ability to meet
our contractual commitments to you. In addition, the Company has not, nor have any of our
officers and directors, been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten
years.
