Item 4: Advisory Business
We are dedicated to providing individuals and other types of clients with a wide array of investment
advisory services. Our firm is a Limited Partnership formed in the State of California. Our firm has
been in business since 2013 and registered as an investment adviser since 2014. Don Garman is the
majority owner of Mirador Capital Partners, LP (“Mirador”)1. The financial industry experience of
our firm’s associates dates back to 1993.
Advisory Services
Comprehensive Portfolio Management:
Our Comprehensive Portfolio Management service encompasses asset management as well as
providing financial planning/financial consulting to clients. It is designed to assist clients in meeting
their financial goals through the use of financial investments. We conduct at least one, but sometimes
more than one meeting (in person if possible, otherwise via telephone conference) with clients in
order to understand their current financial situation, existing resources, financial goals, and tolerance
for risk. Based on what we learn, we propose an investment approach to the client. We may propose
an investment portfolio, consisting of individual stocks or bonds, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”),
options, mutual funds and/or other public and private securities or investments.
Upon the client’s agreement to the proposed investment plan, we work with the client to establish or
transfer investment accounts so that we can manage the client’s portfolio. Once the relevant accounts
are under our management, we review such accounts on a regular basis and at least quarterly. We
may periodically rebalance or adjust client accounts under our management. If the client experiences
any significant changes to his/her financial or personal circumstances, the client must notify us so
that we can consider such information in managing the client’s investments.
Where appropriate, we will recommend that our clients invest in one or more private funds (“Funds”)
sponsored by one or more of our affiliates (the “GP Entities”). The Funds’ investments are managed
by one of our affiliates, TVV Advisers, LLC, which is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser.
Investors in the Funds must be accredited investors, as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities
Act of 1933, and must also meet other eligibility standards.
Investment strategies for each Fund may differ depending on the mandate and anticipated
investments for each Fund. The Funds may invest in , among other things, early-stage private
companies and other securities. Investments are not customized for the investment objectives or
needs of individual Fund investors, and individual Fund investors will not have authority to manage
the affairs or investments of any Fund.
Information pertaining to each Fund can be found in the Limited Partnership Agreement,
Subscription Documents, or similar documents
for each Fund (collectively, the “Offering
Documents”). Investing in any of the Funds involves significant risks, including the potential loss of
all amounts invested.

Mirador Capital Partners, LP
Financial Planning & Consulting:
Our firm provides a variety of standalone financial planning and consulting services to clients for the
management of financial resources based upon an analysis of current situation, goals, and objectives.
Financial planning services will typically involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial
consultation for clients based on the client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or
consulting may encompass Investment Planning, Retirement Planning, Estate Planning, Charitable
Planning, Education Planning, Corporate and Personal Tax Planning, Cost Segregation Study,
Corporate Structure, Real Estate Analysis, Mortgage/Debt Analysis, Insurance Analysis, Lines of
Credit Evaluation, or Business and Personal Financial Planning.
Written financial plans or financial consultations rendered to clients usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the clients.
Implementation of the recommendations will be at the discretion of the client. Our firm provides
clients with a summary of their financial situation, and observations for financial planning
engagements. Financial consultations are not typically accompanied by a written summary of
observations and recommendations, as the process is less formal than the planning service. Assuming
that all the information and documents requested from the client are provided promptly, plans or
consultations are typically completed within 6 months of the client signing a contract with our firm.
Estate Planning:
We offer Estate Planning services in conjunction with Encore Estate Plans for our clients to assist
with general information as it applies to reviews and updates of existing plans, and creation of new
estate planning documents. The fees associated with estate planning related services are separate
and in addition to your ongoing financial planning or advisory fees and are disclosed in Item 5.
Plan Sponsor Retirement Plan Consulting:
Our firm provides Plan Sponsor Retirement Plan Consulting services to employer plan sponsors on
an ongoing basis. Generally, such consulting services consist of assisting employer plan sponsors in
establishing, monitoring and reviewing their company's participant-directed retirement plan. As the
needs of the plan sponsor dictate, areas of advising could include: investment options, plan structure
and participant education.
Plan Sponsor Retirement Plan Consulting services typically include:
•
• Establishing an Investment Policy Statement – Our firm will assist in the development of a
statement that summarizes the investment goals and objectives along with the broad
strategies to be employed to meet the objectives.
Investment Options – Our firm will work with the Plan Sponsor to evaluate existing
investment options and make recommendations for appropriate changes.
•
• Asset Allocation and Portfolio Construction – Our firm will develop strategic asset allocation
models to aid Participants in developing strategies to meet their investment objectives, time
horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk.
Investment Monitoring – Our firm will monitor the performance of the investments and notify
the client in the event of over/underperformance and in times of market volatility.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 5
Mirador Capital Partners, LP
In providing services for Plan Sponsor Retirement Plan Consulting, our firm does not provide any
advisory services with respect to the following types of assets: employer securities, real estate
(excluding real estate funds and publicly traded REITS), participant loans, non-publicly traded
securities or assets, other illiquid investments, or brokerage window programs (collectively,
“Excluded Assets”).
All Plan Sponsor Retirement Plan Consulting services shall be in compliance with the applicable state
laws regulating retirement consulting services. This applies to client accounts that are retirement or
other employee benefit plans (“Plan”) governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended (“ERISA”). If the client accounts are part of a Plan, and our firm accepts
appointments to provide services to such accounts, our firm acknowledges its fiduciary standard
within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA as designated by the Plan Sponsor Retirement Plan
Consulting Agreement with respect to the provision of services described therein.
Tailoring of Advisory Services
We offer individualized investment advice to clients utilizing our Comprehensive Portfolio
Management services. Additionally, we offer general investment advice to clients utilizing our
Financial Planning & Consulting services. Each client has the opportunity to place reasonable
restrictions on the types of investments to be held in the portfolio such as industry, sector, risk level,
and volatility. Restrictions on investments in certain securities or types of securities may not be
possible due to the level of difficulty this would entail in managing the account. Restrictions would
be limited to our Comprehensive Portfolio Management services.
Participation in Wrap Fee Programs
We do not offer wrap fee programs.
Regulatory Assets Under Management
Our firm only manages assets on a discretionary basis which totaled $901,733,303 as of October 7,
2025.
Item 5: Fees & Compensation
Comprehensive Portfolio Management
Comprehensive Portfolio Management fees are calculated based on a percentage of assets under
management not to exceed 2.00%. The exact fee to be charged will be detailed in the executed
advisory agreement.
Our firm’s fees are negotiable and may be discounted on a case-by-case basis. Annualized fees are
billed on a quarterly pro-rata basis (one quarter of the annual rate) in advance based on the value of
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 6
Mirador Capital Partners, LP
your account on the last day of the previous quarter. Certain illiquid securities without daily
valuations will be billed based upon their most recently available valuations. Adjustments may be
made for deposits and withdrawals for values of more than $50,000. Unless otherwise agreed to in
writing, fees will be assessed on cash and cash equivalents. Fees will be deducted from your managed
account(s). As part of the fee deduction process, the client is made aware of the following:
a) Your independent custodian sends statements at least quarterly to you showing the market
values for each security included in the Assets and all disbursements in your account
including the amount of the advisory fees paid to us; and
b) You provide authorization permitting us to be directly paid by these terms. We send our
invoice directly to the custodian.
Financial Planning & Consulting:
Our firm charges on a flat fee basis for financial planning and consulting services. The total
estimated fee, as well as the ultimate fee charged, is based on the scope and complexity of our
engagement with the client. Flat fees will not exceed $2,500. The fee-paying arrangements will be
determined on a case-by-case basis and will be detailed in the signed consulting agreement. Our
firm will not require a retainer exceeding $1,200 when services cannot be rendered within 6
months.
Estate Planning:
The fee for this offering vary depending upon the service level required, and will be outlined in the
executed agreement with a maximum of $2,500. Fees may be negotiable in certain cases, will be
agreed to at the start of the engagement, and are due at the end of the engagement. The fee that we
charge includes both our portion of the fee, and that remitted to Encore Estate Plans. Clients are not
required to utilize any third party products or services that we may recommend and they can receive
similar services from other professionals at a similar or lower cost.
Plan Sponsor Retirement Plan Consulting:
Our Plan Sponsor Retirement Plan Consulting services are billed as a fee based on a percentage of
Plan assets under management. The total estimated fee, as well as the ultimate fee charged, is based
on the scope and complexity of our engagement with the client. The maximum percentage of Plan
Assets charged for these services shall not exceed 1.00%. All fee-paying arrangements will be
determined on a case-by-case basis and will be detailed in the signed consulting agreement. Clients
will be invoiced directly for the fees or debited from plan assets if agreed to.
Other Types of Fees & Expenses
Clients will incur transaction fees for trades executed by their chosen custodian via individual
transaction charges. These transaction fees are separate from our firm’s advisory fees and will be
disclosed by the chosen custodian. Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) does not charge transaction
fees for U.S. listed equities and exchange traded funds.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 7
Mirador Capital Partners, LP
Clients may also pay holdings charges imposed by the chosen custodian for certain investments,
charges imposed directly by a mutual fund, index fund, or exchange traded fund, which shall be
disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (e.g., fund management fees and other fund expenses), distribution
fees, surrender charges, variable annuity fees, IRA and qualified retirement plan fees, mark-ups and
mark-downs, spreads paid to market makers, fees for trades executed away from custodian, wire
transfer fees and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Our firm
does not receive a portion of these fees.
Termination & Refunds
We charge our Comprehensive Portfolio Management advisory fees quarterly in advance. If you wish
to terminate our services, you need to provide us with a written notice by submitting Schwab
Cancellation Form. Upon receipt of the cancellation form, we will proceed to close out your account
and process a pro-rata refund of unearned advisory fees. In the event of the failure to do so within six
months of the closing of your account(s), we will proceed to donate any refund to a charity of our
choice.
Either party to a Plan Sponsor Retirement Plan Consulting Agreement may terminate at any time by
providing written notice to the other party. Full refunds will only be made in cases where cancellation
occurs within five (5) business days of signing an agreement. After five (5) business days from initial
signing, either party must provide the other party thirty (30) days written notice to terminate billing.
Billing will terminate 30 days after receipt of termination notice. Clients will be charged on a pro-rata
basis, which takes into account work completed by our firm on behalf of the client. Clients will incur
charges for bona fide advisory services rendered up to the point of termination (determined as 30
days from receipt of said written notice) and such fees will be due and payable.
Refund Policy
In the event that client wishes to terminate our services, client should provide us with a written notice
by submitting Schwab Cancellation Form. We will donate any refund to a charity of our choice if client
fails to submit the form within six months of the closing of your account(s).
Commissionable Securities Sales
Representatives of our firm are registered representatives of Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments,
Inc. (“PKS”), member FINRA/SIPC. As such they are able to accept compensation for the sale of
securities or other investment products, including distribution or service (“trail”) fees from the sale
of mutual funds. Clients should be aware that the practice of accepting commissions for the sale of
securities presents a conflict of interest and gives our firm and/or our representatives an incentive
to recommend investment products based on the compensation received. Our firm generally
addresses commissionable sales conflicts that arise when explaining to clients these sales create an
incentive to recommend based on the compensation to be earned and/or when recommending
commissionable mutual funds, explaining that “no-load” funds are also available. Our firm does not
prohibit clients from purchasing recommended investment products through other unaffiliated
brokers or agents.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure

Mirador Capital Partners, LP
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees & Side-By-Side Management
Performance based fees can only be assessed a Qualified Client, with at least $1,100,000 under
management with our firm or a net worth of at least $2,200,000. A performance fee is a fee based on
a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the managed assets of a client.
For certain Qualified Clients, in lieu of our above described asset based fees, our firm may charge up
to 25% of the net profits (i.e., profits after our management fee has been deducted) achieved for the
previous quarter’s account management. The performance fee is payable only after exceeding a
hurdle rate of 6% annualized return as well as a highwater mark. At our discretion, our firm may
waive all or any portion of the performance fee or may agree with a client to other changes to the
performance fee by written agreement only.
In charging performance fees to some client accounts, our firm faces a conflict of interest as our firm
can potentially receive greater fees from client accounts having a performance-based compensation
structure than from accounts only charged an advisory fee. As a result, there exists an incentive to
direct the best investment ideas to, or to allocate or sequence trades in favor of, the account that pays
a performance fee. Our firm has taken important steps to ensure that our performance based
accounts are not favored over our client’s non-performance fee based accounts.
Performance based and non-performance based accounts are periodically reviewed and compared.
In the event that our firm finds performance based accounts are being unduly (i.e., consistently)
favored over non-performance based accounts, our firm would take action to address the situation
on a case-by-case basis. This could include allowing non-performance based accounts to trade before
performance based accounts to the extent practicable, or if the problem persists, not allowing new
performance based accounts, waiving our performance based fees or cancelling our performance
based fee arrangements altogether and in some cases, termination of firm personnel.
Item 7: Types of Clients & Account Requirements
We have the following types of clients:
•
Individuals and High Net Worth Individuals;
• Trusts, Estates or Charitable Organizations;
• Pension and Profit Sharing Plans;
• Corporations, Limited Liability Companies and Small Businesses.
We require a minimum account balance of $500,000 for our Comprehensive Portfolio Management
service. This minimum account balance is required to be maintained throughout the course of the
client’s relationship with our firm, but may be waived on a case by case basis upon approval by the
advisor.
SIP accounts must maintain a minimum balance of $5,000 to be eligible for automatic rebalancing.
Tax-loss harvesting is available for clients with invested assets of $50,000 or more in their SIP
account. Clients must enroll to receive this service. Please see Item 10 for more details on this
program.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure

Mirador Capital Partners, LP
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies & Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
Our firm primarily uses fundamental analysis in formulating our investment advice and/or managing
client assets with technical analysis for additional support. Advisors implement top-down
fundamental analysis, which attempts to measure the intrinsic value of a security, asset class, or
sector by looking at economic and financial factors (including the overall economy, industry
conditions, and the financial condition and management of a company itself) to determine if a
security is underpriced (indicating it may be a good time to buy) or overpriced (indicating it may be
time to sell). Fundamental analysis does not attempt to anticipate market movements. This presents
a potential risk, as the price of a security can move up or down along with the overall market
regardless of the economic and financial factors considered in evaluating the stock.
Technical analysis is used to analyze past market movements and apply that analysis to the present
in an attempt to recognize recurring patterns of investor behavior and potentially predict future price
movement. Technical analysis does not consider the underlying financial condition of a company.
This presents a risk in that a poorly-managed or financially unsound company may underperform
regardless of market movement.
Investment Strategies
Our firm has developed asset allocation models designed to meet the individual needs of the client
with regards to investment objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizons among other considerations.
Each portfolio will use one or more of the following investment strategies:
Short Term Purchases (Securities Sold Within a Year);
• Long Term Purchases (Securities Held at Least a Year);
•
• Trading (Securities Sold Within 30 Days);
• Tax Loss Harvesting.
Alternative Investments: Hedge funds, commodity pools, Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”),
Business Development Companies (“BDCs”), and other alternative investments involve a high degree
of risk and can be illiquid due to restrictions on transfer and lack of a secondary trading market. They
can be highly leveraged, speculative and volatile, and an investor could lose all or a substantial
amount of an investment. Alternative investments may lack transparency as to share price, valuation
and portfolio holdings. Complex tax structures often result in delayed tax reporting. Compared to
mutual funds, hedge funds and commodity pools are subject to less regulation and often charge
higher fees and may require “capital calls” which would require additional investment. Alternative
investment managers typically exercise broad investment discretion and may apply similar
strategies across multiple investment vehicles, resulting in less diversification.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”): REITs primarily invest in real estate or real estate-related
loans. Equity REITs own real estate properties, while mortgage REITs hold construction,
development and/or long-term mortgage loans. Changes in the value of the underlying property of
the trusts, the creditworthiness of the issuer, property taxes, interest rates, tax laws, and regulatory
requirements, such as those relating to the environment all can affect the values of REITs. REITs are
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 10
Mirador Capital Partners, LP
dependent upon management skill, the cash flows generated by their holdings, the real estate market
in general, and the possibility of failing to qualify for any applicable pass-through tax treatment or
failing to maintain any applicable exempted status afforded under relevant laws.
REITs involve a high degree of risk and can be illiquid due to restrictions on transfer and lack of a
secondary trading market. They can be highly leveraged, speculative and volatile, and an investor
could lose all or a substantial amount of an investment. Additionally, they may lack transparency as
to share price, valuation and portfolio holdings as they are subject to less regulation and often charge
higher fees.
Private Funds: A private fund is an investment vehicle that pools capital from a number of investors
and invests in securities and other instruments. In almost all cases, a private fund is a private
investment vehicle that is typically not registered under federal or state securities laws. So that
private funds do not have to register under these laws, issuers make the funds available only to
certain sophisticated or accredited investors and cannot be offered or sold to the general public.
Private funds are generally smaller than mutual funds because they are often limited to a small
number of investors and have a more limited number of eligible investors. Many but not all private
funds use leverage as part of their investment strategies. Private funds management fees typically
include a base management fee along with a performance component. In many cases, the fund’s
managers may become “partners” with their clients by making personal investments of their own
assets in the fund. Most private funds offer their securities by providing an offering memorandum or
private placement memorandum, known as “PPM” for short.
The PPM covers important information for investors and investors should review this document
carefully and should consider conducting additional due diligence before investing in the private
fund. The primary risks of private funds include the following: (a) Private funds do not sell publicly
and are therefore illiquid. An investor may not be able to exit a private fund or sell its interests in the
fund before the fund closes.; and (b) Private funds are subject to various other risks, including risks
associated with the types of securities that the private fund invests in or the type of business issuing
the private placement.
Asset Allocation Models
Mirador Longview Strategy (MLS):
The MLS uses a global asset allocation strategy to own stocks, bonds, cash, currency, and
commodities. This portfolio is positioned to benefit when markets decline and shorts indices to
achieve that goal. The portfolio’s emphasis on risk-adjusted returns through market cycles helps
avoid permanent capital loss. This portfolio can hold 10-15% ETFs and/or mutual funds where
appropriate. The strategy is not constrained by size, industry, or asset class. As a result, client funds
can be moved to areas that offer the greatest opportunity based on prevailing market conditions.
Mirador Tactical Strategy (MTS):
The MTS portfolio invests in domestic and international equities and closed-end funds frequently
trading at a discount to their Net Asset Value. The portfolio can focus on short-term opportunities.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 11
Mirador Capital Partners, LP
Due to higher concentrations of positions, the portfolio will likely experience more volatility than
diversified portfolios. Mirador will look for high conviction, out-of-consensus analyst calls or tactical
situations that can produce short-term gains. The stated targets return equal to the S&P 500, with
more income generation and somewhat less volatility.
Mirador Aggressive Growth Strategy (MAGS):
Mirador’s most aggressive approach seeks to invest in deeply undervalued assets with significant
upside that we feel will be realized through earnings growth, improved capital utilization, or a market
revaluation. Our proprietary, rules-based methodology ranks all assets against others with the
desired outcome of capturing the strongest assets at any given point in time.
As with any aggressive style, individual ideas may not perform. We attempt to mitigate this through
our rigorous research process and appropriate diversification, and by investing only in high
conviction ideas believed to offer a substantial margin of safety. The portfolio may hold cash or more
concentrated positions when appropriate opportunities have not been identified. Relative to other
strategies, the portfolio may have higher turnover and should be avoided in taxable accounts or by
investors who prefer longer holding periods. We only recommend this strategy for investors with
experience, a strong tolerance for turnover and volatility, and a flexible investment horizon.
Mirador Income Opportunity Strategies (MIOS):
With the MIOS, Mirador screens for companies with high current dividends. Mirador also looks for
companies with the track record and ability to raise their dividends. The strategy is managed for long-
term capital gains and growth in income. The portfolio is diversified within the 10 sectors of the S&P
500 and also includes global dividend payers. It is designed to complement Mirador’s other strategies
and enhance income for any client who seeks greater cash return from their investments. This
portfolio opportunistically adds to equities in sectors that are out of favor in the business cycle, while
fundamentally sound, and expected to rise.
Mirador Exchange-Traded Fund Portfolio (METF):
The METS strategy is for low-balance accounts under $25,000 and is designed to be a globally
diversified, strategic, un-hedged, lower cost alternative to our actively managed strategies. It is
rebalanced twice a year or as needed to keep the position limits intact. It is appropriate for investors
with a long-term time horizon and who prefer their portfolios to perform in line with the risk and
return characteristics of the Global Stock Markets.
Mirador Tri-Valley Strategy (MTVS):
Mirador’s deep network within Pleasanton has provided unique insight into the tremendous growth
opportunity in the local area. Increasingly, companies are choosing to locate within the Tri-Valley due
to its talent base, innovative community, attractive location, and relative cost. Based on the
investment opportunities identified within our community, Mirador recently launched the Mirador
Tri-Valley Index (MTVX™), an equally-weighted composite comprised of the publicly traded
companies located within the immediate Tri-Valley. Mirador offers an investable implementation of
this index through Mirador Tri-Valley Strategy (MTVS™). While Mirador's active strategies may also
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 12
Mirador Capital Partners, LP
own some of these companies in accordance with their specific mandates, MTVS is intended to
provide a diversified exposure to the investable opportunity set within the region.
Mirador Fixed Income Strategy (MFIS):
Mirador created its Fixed Income Strategy to provide a practical implementation for individual clients
seeking to access a true held-to-maturity bond portfolio. Traditional bond funds are often required
to sell bonds prior to maturity, which risks the loss of principal when interest rates rise. The laddered
securities within MFIS have fixed terms and are generally held to maturity, at which time they are
“rolled over” into newer issuances. We believe that MFIS offers individuals access to a diversified
bond portfolio while maintaining the characteristics of its underlying securities.
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. While the stock
market may increase and your account(s) could enjoy a gain, it is also possible that the stock market
may decrease and your account(s) could suffer a loss. It is important that you understand the risks
associated with investing in the stock market, are appropriately diversified in your investments, and
ask us any questions you may have.
Description of Material, Significant or Unusual Risks
We generally invest client’s cash balances in money market funds, FDIC Insured Certificates of
Deposit, high-grade commercial paper and/or government backed debt instruments. Ultimately, we
try to achieve the highest return on our client’s cash balances through relatively low-risk
conservative investments. In most cases, at least a partial cash balance will be maintained in a money
market account so that our firm may debit advisory fees for our services related to Comprehensive
Portfolio Management, as applicable.
Cryptocurrency Products: We may recommend investment in digital (crypto) currency products.
These products may be an illiquid private placement or structured as a trust or exchange traded
fund which pool capital together to purchase holdings of digital currencies or derivatives based on
their value. Such products are extremely volatile and are suitable only as a means of diversification
for investors with high risk tolerances. Furthermore, these securities carry very high internal
expense ratios, and may use derivatives to achieve leverage or exposure in lieu of direct
cryptocurrency holdings. This can result in tracking error and may sell at a premium or discount to
the market value of their underlying holdings. Security is also a concern for digital currency
investments which make them subject to the additional risk of theft, as they are typically held with
a non-traditional custodial platform.
Inverse Exchange Traded Funds: An ETF traded on a public stock market, which is designed to
perform as the inverse of whatever index or benchmark it is designed to track. These funds work by
using short selling, trading derivatives such as futures contracts, and other leveraged investment
techniques. Investing in inversion ETFs is similar to holding various short positions, or using a
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 13
Mirador Capital Partners, LP
combination of advanced investment strategies to profit from falling prices. Also known as a "Short
ETF," or "Bear ETF." Inverse ETFs along with other ETFs that use derivatives, typically are not used
as long-term investments. Many inverse ETFs utilize daily futures contracts to produce their
returns, and this frequent trading often increases fund expenses. Inverse and leveraged inverse
ETFs tend to have higher expense ratios than standard index ETFs, since the funds are by their
nature actively managed; these costs can eat away at performance. An inverse ETF needs to buy
when the market rises and sell when it falls in order to maintain a fixed leverage ratio. This results
in a volatility loss proportional to the market variance. Compared to a short position with identical
initial exposure, the inverse ETF will therefore usually deliver inferior returns. The exception is if
the market declines significantly on low volatility so that the capital gain outweighs the volatility
loss. Such large declines benefit the inverse ETF because the relative exposure of the short position
drops as the market falls. Since the risk of the inverse ETF and a fixed short position will differ
significantly as the index drifts away from its initial value, differences in realized payoff have no
clear interpretation. It may therefore be better to evaluate the performance assuming the index
returns to the initial level. In that case an inverse ETF will always incur a volatility loss relative to
the short position. As with synthetic options, leveraged ETFs need to be frequently rebalanced.
These strategies are generally designed for intra-day trading, however may be held for longer
durations in cases we deem it prudent to do so.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
There are no legal or disciplinary events that are material to the evaluation of our advisory business
or the integrity of our management.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities & Affiliations
Representatives of our firm are also registered representatives of PKS, member FINRA/SIPC as well
as licensed insurance agents. In such capacities, they may offer securities products and/or insurance
products and receive normal and customary commissions as a result of these transactions. A conflict
of interest exists as these commissionable securities sales create an incentive to recommend
products based on the compensation they may earn. In all cases our representatives, as part of their
fiduciary duty, will act in the clients’ best interest including putting clients’ interests ahead of their
own.
Mr. Garman also has an ownership interest in the GP Entities which sponsor the Funds (as described
in more detail in Item 4 above) as well as an ownership interest in TVV Advisers, LLC, which manages
the Funds. Currently, such GP Entities include TVV GP I, L.L.C. (which sponsors Tri Valley Ventures I,
L.P.) and TVV GP II, L.L.C. (which sponsors Tri Valley Ventures II, L.P.). Mr. Garman also assists with
the sourcing and evaluation of investment opportunities on behalf of the Funds. For services
rendered to the Funds, the GP Entities are entitled to receive management fees (based on capital
committed by fund investors) and carried interest (compensation based on the performance of the
Funds). Because Mr. Garman has an ownership interest in the GP Entities, he is entitled to receive a
portion of the fees paid by the Funds to the GP Entities and therefore, he has an incentive to promote
the success of the Funds. As such, while we waive our investment management fee with respect to
any client assets invested in the Funds, a conflict of interest exists when we recommend one of the
Funds to our clients because this could result in increased compensation to Mr. Garman. Nonetheless,
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 14
Mirador Capital Partners, LP
we will only recommend an investment in one of the Funds to our clients when believe that such an
investment is in the best interest of such client.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or
Interest in Client Transactions & Personal Trading
As a fiduciary, it is an investment adviser’s responsibility to provide fair and full disclosure of all
material facts and to act solely in the best interest of each of our clients at all times. Our fiduciary duty
is the underlying principle for our firm’s Code of Ethics, which includes procedures for personal
securities transaction and insider trading. Our firm requires all representatives to conduct business
with the highest level of ethical standards and to comply with all federal and state securities laws at
all times. Upon employment with our firm, and at least annually thereafter, all representatives of our
firm will acknowledge receipt, understanding and compliance with our firm’s Code of Ethics. Our firm
and representatives must conduct business in an honest, ethical, and fair manner and avoid all
circumstances that might negatively affect or appear to affect our duty of complete loyalty to all
clients. This disclosure is provided to give all clients a summary of our Code of Ethics. If a client or a
potential client wishes to review our Code of Ethics in its entirety, a copy will be provided promptly
upon request.
Our firm recognizes that the personal investment transactions of our representatives demands the
application of a Code of Ethics with high standards and requires that all such transactions be carried
out in a way that does not endanger the interest of any client. At the same time, our firm also believes
that if investment goals are similar for clients and for our representatives, it is logical, and even
desirable, that there be common ownership of some securities.
In order to prevent conflicts of interest, our firm has established procedures for transactions effected
by our representatives for their personal accounts 1 . In order to monitor compliance with our
personal trading policy, our firm has pre-clearance requirements and a quarterly securities
transaction reporting system for all of our representatives.
Neither our firm nor a related person recommends, buys or sells for client accounts, securities in
which our firm or a related person has a material financial interest without prior disclosure to the
client.
Related persons of our firm may buy or sell securities and other investments that are also
recommended to clients. In order to minimize this conflict of interest, our related persons will place
client interests ahead of their own interests and adhere to our firm’s Code of Ethics, a copy of which
is available upon request.
Likewise, related persons of our firm buy or sell securities for themselves at or about the same time
they buy or sell the same securities for client accounts. In order to minimize this conflict of interest,
our related persons will place client interests ahead of their own interests and adhere to our firm’s
Code of Ethics, a copy of which is available upon request. Further, our related persons will refrain
1 For purposes of the policy, our associate’s personal account generally includes any account (a) in the name of our associate, his/her
spouse, his/her minor children or other dependents residing in the same household, (b) for which our associate is a trustee or executor,
or (c) which our associate controls, including our client accounts which our associate controls and/or a member of his/her household has
a direct or indirect beneficial interest in.

from buying or selling the same securities prior to buying or selling for our clients in the same day
unless included in a block trade.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Selecting a Brokerage Firm
We seek to recommend a custodian/broker who will hold your assets and execute transactions on
terms that are overall most advantageous when compared to other available providers and their
services. We consider a wide range of factors, including, among others, these: • Ability to maintain
the confidentiality of trading intentions
• Timeliness of execution
• Timeliness and accuracy of trade confirmations
• Liquidity of the securities traded
• Willingness to commit capital
• Ability to place trades in difficult market environments
• Research services provided
• Ability to provide investment ideas
• Execution facilitation services provided
• Record keeping services provided
• Custody services provided
• Frequency and correction of trading errors
• Ability to access a variety of market venues
• Expertise as it relates to specific securities
• Financial condition
• Business reputation
With the aforementioned in consideration, we utilize the services of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
(“Schwab”) a FINRA-registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, and Interactive Brokers LLC (“IB”) as
qualified custodians, collectively “Custodians”. We are independently owned and operated and not
affiliated with Custodians. Custodians offer to independent investment advisers non-soft dollar
services which include custody of securities, trade execution, clearance and settlement of
transactions.
Products and Services Available to Us from Custodians
Schwab Advisor Services (formerly called Schwab Institutional) is Schwab’s business serving
independent investment advisory firms like us. They, along with IB, provide us and our clients with
access to its institutional brokerage – trading, custody, reporting and related services – many of
which are not typically available to retail customers. Custodians also makes available various support
services. Some of those services help us manage or administer our clients’ accounts while others help
us manage and grow our business. Here is a more detailed description of Custodian’s support
services:
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 16
Mirador Capital Partners, LP
Services that Benefit You
Custodians’ institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products,
execution of securities transactions, and custody of client assets. The investment products available
through Custodians include some to which we might not otherwise have access or that would require
a significantly higher minimum initial investment by our clients. Custodians’ services described in
this paragraph generally benefit you and your account.
Services that May Indirectly Benefit You
Custodians also make available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not directly
benefit you or your account. These products and services assist us in managing and administering
our clients’ accounts. They include investment research, both Custodians’ own and that of third
parties. We may use this research to service all or some substantial number of our clients’ accounts,
including accounts not maintained at Custodians. In addition to investment research, Custodians also
make available software and other technology that:
• provide access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account
statements);
facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts;
•
• provide pricing and other market data;
•
•
facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts; and
assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting.
Services that Generally Benefit Our Firm
Custodians also offer other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business
enterprise. These services include:
educational conferences and events
technology, compliance, legal, and business consulting;
•
•
• publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; and
•
access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants and insurance providers.
Custodians may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-
party vendors to provide the services to us. Custodians may also discount or waive their fees
for some of these services or pay all or a part of a third party’s fees. Custodians may also
provide us with other benefits such as occasional business entertainment of our personnel.
We do not use client brokerage commissions to obtain research or other products or services. The
aforementioned research and brokerage services are used by our firm to manage accounts for which
we have investment discretion. Without this arrangement, our firm might be compelled to purchase
the same or similar services at our own expense.
As a result of receiving these services, we may have an incentive to continue to use or expand the use
of Custodians services. Our firm examined this potential conflict of interest when we chose to enter
into the relationship with Custodians and we have determined that the relationship is in the best
interest of our firm’s clients and satisfies our fiduciary obligations, including our duty to seek best
execution.
Custodians charge brokerage commissions and transaction fees for effecting certain securities
transactions (i.e., transaction fees are charged for certain no-load mutual funds, commissions are
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 17
Mirador Capital Partners, LP
charged for individual equity and debt securities transactions). Custodians enable us to obtain many
no-load mutual funds without transaction charges and other no-load funds at nominal transaction
charges. Custodians commission rates are generally discounted from customary retail commission
rates. However, the commission and transaction fees charged by Custodians may be higher or lower
than those charged by other custodians and broker-dealers.
Our clients may pay a commission to Custodians that is higher than another qualified broker dealer
might charge to effect the same transaction where we determine in good faith that the commission is
reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services received. In seeking best
execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction
represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a broker-dealer’s
services, including the value of research provided, execution capability, commission rates, and
responsiveness. Accordingly, although we will seek competitive rates, to the benefit of all clients, we
may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for specific client account
transactions.
Soft Dollars
Our firm does not accept products or services that do not qualify for Safe Harbor outlined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as those services that do not aid in investment
decision-making or trade execution. Although the investment research products and services that
may be obtained by our firm will generally be used to service all of our clients, a brokerage
commission paid by a specific client may be used to pay for research that is not used in managing that
specific client’s account. The research products may benefit some but not all of the clients or may
benefit only the firm.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
Our firm does not receive brokerage for client referrals.
Directed Brokerage
Neither we nor any of our firm’s related persons have discretionary authority in making the
determination of the brokers with whom orders for the purchase or sale of securities are placed for
execution, and the commission rates at which such securities transactions are effected. We routinely
recommend that a client directs us to execute through a specified broker-dealer. Our firm
recommends the use of Custodians. Each client will be required to establish their account(s) with
Custodians if not already done. Please note that not all advisers have this requirement.
Permissibility of Client-Directed Brokerage
We generally do not allow clients to direct brokerage outside our recommendation.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 18
Mirador Capital Partners, LP
A retirement or ERISA plan client may direct all or part of portfolio transactions for its account
through a specific broker or dealer in order to obtain goods or services on behalf of the plan. Such
direction is permitted provided that the goods and services provided are reasonable expenses of the
plan incurred in the ordinary course of its business for which it otherwise would be obligated and
empowered to pay. ERISA prohibits directed brokerage arrangements when the goods or services
purchased are not for the exclusive benefit of the plan. Consequently, we will request that plan
sponsors who direct plan brokerage provide us with a letter documenting that this arrangement will
be for the exclusive benefit of the plan.
Aggregation of Purchase or Sale
When possible and in the best interest of our clients, we will aggregate the orders in multiple accounts
in order to achieve a more equitable trading process for our clients. Unless otherwise stated the
allocation statement is proportional to the securities included in the block trade. In the rare
circumstance of a partially filled order, securities will be allocated on a pro-rata basis.
Item 13: Review of Accounts or Financial Plans
We review accounts on at least a quarterly basis for our clients subscribing to our Comprehensive
Portfolio Management service, including accounts managed through the SMA programs. The nature
of these reviews is to learn whether clients’ accounts are in line with their investment objectives,
appropriately positioned based on market conditions, and investment policies, if applicable. We do
not provide written reports to clients, unless asked to do so. Verbal reports to clients take place on at
least an annual basis when we contact clients who subscribe to our Comprehensive Portfolio
Management services.
Only our Financial Advisors or Portfolio Managers will conduct reviews. We may review client
accounts more frequently than described above. Among the factors which may trigger an off-cycle
review are major market or economic events, the client’s life events, requests by the client, etc.
Plan Sponsor Retirement Plan Consulting clients receive reviews of their pension plans for the
duration of the pension consulting service. We also provide ongoing services to Plan Sponsor
Retirement Plan Consulting clients where we meet with such clients upon their request to discuss
updates to their plans, changes in their circumstances, etc. Plan Sponsor Retirement Plan Consulting
clients do not receive written or verbal updated reports regarding their pension plans unless they
choose to contract with us for ongoing Plan Sponsor Retirement Plan Consulting services.
Item 14: Client Referrals & Other Compensation
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
We receive an economic benefit from Schwab in the form of the support products and services it
makes available to us and other independent investment advisors that have their clients maintain
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 19
Mirador Capital Partners, LP
accounts at Schwab. These products and services, how they benefit us, and the related conflicts of
interest are described above (see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices). The availability to us of Schwab’s
products and services is not based on us giving particular investment advice, such as buying
particular securities for our clients.
Additional Compensation
We occasionally co-sponsor client appreciation events with financial assistance from various
unaffiliated mutual fund companies. Such sponsorship is not in connection with client securities
transactions (“soft dollar benefits”) and our clients do not pay more for investment transactions
effected and/or assets maintained as result of this arrangement. Our firm only solicits financial
assistance from mutual fund companies that we have conducted business with over the previous year
to ensure that there are no conditions imposed on our firm in return for such financial assistance. We
make no commitment to any mutual fund company or institution as a result of these arrangements.
Additionally, our clients are not solicited to invest in the sponsoring funds unless the investment is
in the best interest of the client.
Compensation from the Funds
While we do not directly receive economic benefits for recommending that our clients invest in the
Funds, Mr. Garman, our principal, receives compensation as a result of his ownership interest in the
GP Entities and TVV Advisers, LLC. Please see Item 10 for a more in-depth description of this
arrangement.
Referral Fees
In accordance with Rule 206 (4)-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, our firm does not provide
cash or non-cash compensation directly or indirectly to unaffiliated persons for testimonials or
endorsements (which include client referrals).
Item 15: Custody
We are deemed to have custody of client funds and securities under the following circumstances:
Since we are authorized by the client to deduct advisory fees, we are deemed to have custody of their
funds and securities. All of our clients receive at least quarterly account statements directly from
their custodians. If Mirador chooses to send account statements to clients, we will remind clients to
compare the account statements received with statements received from the qualified custodian.
We are also deemed to have custody of the funds and securities held by the Funds because Mr.
Garman has a significant ownership interest and plays a role in the operations of the GP Entities
which manage the affairs of the Funds. As such, each year, the Funds will arrange for an audit of their
financial statements to be conducted by an independent public accountant registered with and
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 20
Mirador Capital Partners, LP
regulated by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in compliance with the requirements
set forth in Rule 206(4)-2(b)(4) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
We are also deemed to have custody of client funds and securities in circumstances where we have
standing letters of authorization with respect to certain client accounts. The SEC issued a no‐action
letter (“Letter”) with respect to the Rule 206(4)‐2 (“Custody Rule”) under the Investment Advisers
Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”). The letter provided guidance on the Custody Rule as well as clarified
that an adviser who has the power to disburse client funds to a third party under a standing letter of
instruction (“SLOA”) is deemed to have custody. As such, our firm has adopted the following
safeguards in conjunction with the account custodian:
• The client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that includes the
client’s signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or the third
party’s account number at a custodian to which the transfer should be directed.
• The client authorizes the investment adviser, in writing, either on the qualified custodian’s
form or separately, to direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or from
time to time.
• The client’s qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction, such as
a signature review or other method to verify the client’s authorization, and provides a
transfer of funds notice to the client promptly after each transfer.
• The client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the client’s qualified
custodian.
• The investment adviser has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the
third party, the address, or any other information about the third party contained in the
client’s instruction.
• The investment adviser maintains records showing that the third party is not a related party
of the investment adviser or located at the same address as the investment adviser.
• The client’s qualified custodian sends the client, in writing, an initial notice confirming the
instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
We encourage our clients to raise any questions with us about the custody, safety, or security of their
assets. The custodians we do business with will send you independent account statements listing
your account balance(s), transaction history and any fee debits or other fees taken out of your
account.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Clients provide our firm with investment discretion on their behalf, pursuant to an executed
investment advisory client agreement. By granting investment discretion, we are authorized to
execute securities transactions, which securities are bought and sold, and the total amount to be
bought and sold. Limitations may be imposed by the client in the form of specific constraints on any
of these areas of discretion with our firm’s written acknowledgement.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
SEC Rule 206(4)-6 requires investment advisers who have voting authority with respect to securities
held in their clients’ accounts to monitor corporate actions and vote proxies in their clients’ interests.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 21
Mirador Capital Partners, LP
Our firm is required by the SEC to adopt written policies and procedures, make those policies and
procedures available to clients, and retain certain records with respect to proxy votes cast.
Our firm votes client proxies when authorized to do so in writing by a client. Our firm understands
our duty to vote client proxies and to do so in the best interest of our clients. Furthermore, it is
understood that any material conflicts between our interests and those of our clients with regard to
proxy voting must be resolved before proxies are voted. Our firm subscribes to a proxy monitor and
voting agent service offered by Broadridge ProxyEdge (“Broadridge”), which includes access to proxy
analyses with research, vote recommendations from multiple providers of global analysis,
administrative services, tracking proxy votes, recordkeeping, and reporting. Clients may request a
copy of our written policies and procedures regarding proxy voting and/or information on how
particular proxies were voted by contacting our Chief Compliance Officer, Don Garman, by phone at
(925) 621-1000 or email at don.garman@miradorcp.com.
Policy for Voting Proxies
All proxies received by our firm will be given to our Chief Compliance Officer or designated person
for processing and voting. Broadridge software will be utilized to determine which accounts managed
by our firm hold the security to which the proxy relates. These accounts and their shareholdings will
be matched to the proxies received for each security. Our Chief Compliance Officer will be responsible
for monitoring corporate actions, making voting decisions, and ensuring that proxies are submitted
in a timely manner.
Proxies will generally be voted online through Broadridge unless a custodian requires mailed forms.
Voting records will be maintained through Broadridge and Schwab’s platform and available upon
client request.
Proxies Voting Guidelines
Our firm will vote or abstain from voting depending on clients’ best interest. There will be occasions
when votes are cast according to Board recommendations. We recognize that under certain
circumstances we may have a conflict of interest between us and our clients. Such circumstances may
include, but are not limited to, situations where our firm or one or more of our affiliates, including
officers, directors and employees, has or is seeking a client relationship with the issuer of the security
that is the subject of the proxy vote. We shall periodically inform our employees that they are under
an obligation to be aware of the potential for conflicts of interest on the part of our firm with respect
to voting proxies on behalf of funds, both as a result of our employee’s personal relationships and
due to circumstances that may arise during the conduct of our business, and to bring conflicts of
interest of which they become aware to the attention of the proxy manager. We shall not vote proxies
relating to such issuers on behalf of client accounts until we have determined that the conflict of
interest is not material or a method of resolving such conflict of interest has been agreed upon by our
management team. A conflict of interest will be considered material to the extent that it is determined
that such conflict has the potential to influence our decision-making in voting a proxy. Materiality
determinations will be based upon an assessment of the particular facts and circumstances. If we
determine that a conflict of interest is not material, we may vote proxies notwithstanding the
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure
Page 22
Mirador Capital Partners, LP
existence of a conflict. If the conflict of interest is determined to be material, the conflict shall be
disclosed to our management team and we shall follow the instructions of the management team. Our
firm abstains on motions to limit directors' liability. Material issues not addressed above (e.g.,
mergers, poison pills, social investing and miscellaneous shareholder proposals) are dealt with on a
case-by-case basis.
Our firm will not accommodate specific voting guidelines imposed by clients. Clients who wish to
impose restrictions will be required to opt out of this service and direct the vote of their own proxies.
All client securities to which our proxy vote relates will receive the same vote by our Chief
Compliance Officer.
Proxy Voting Services Fees
Our firm does not pay for proxy voting services with soft dollars. Also, our firm does not charge an
additional fee to vote proxies.
Class Action Recovery
As part of our proxy voting service, our firm has elected to participate in Broadridge’s Global
Securities Class Action service whereby Broadridge provides, for and on behalf of our Clients, asset
recovery services covering global securities class action lawsuits, bankruptcies and disgorgements.
For its services, Broadridge will receive a contingency fee of 20% of the total settlement collected for
the client. There is no fee to the Client for this service and our firm does not receive any portion of
any amount recovered on behalf of our Clients. Please note that our firm does not this service for SEC
Fair Funds settlements
Item 18: Financial Information
We are not required to provide financial information in this Brochure because:
• We do not require the prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees and six or more months in
advance.
• We do not have a financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet
contractual commitments.
• We have never been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
