Item 4: Advisory Business
A. MRWM Advisors, LLC d/b/a Music Row Wealth Management (the “Adviser,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is
an investment adviser founded in 2017, registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”), and principally owned by Music Row Wealth Management LLC (“MRWM”),
which is in turn principally owned by J. Tracy Hackney, Suzanne Salter, and Laura Davis.
B. Adviser offers the following types of advisory services:
i.
Discretionary Investment Management. Adviser provides ongoing discretionary
investment management services to its clients based upon each client’s current financial
condition, goals, risk tolerance, income, liquidity requirements, investment time horizon,
and other information that is relevant to the management of clients’ account(s). This
information will then be used to make investment decisions that reflect clients’ individual
needs and objectives on an initial and ongoing basis. Adviser’s investment decisions will
allocate portions of clients’ account(s) to various asset classes classified according to
historical and projected risks and rates of return. Adviser will retain the discretion to buy,
sell, or otherwise transact in securities and other investments in a client’s accounts
without first receiving the client’s specific approval for each transaction. Such
discretionary authority is granted by a client in his or her investment management
agreement with Adviser. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities
or types of securities so long as such restrictions may reasonably be implemented by
Adviser.
Adviser generally implements its investments strategy by allocating clients’ investable
assets across a diversified risk-based portfolio of no-load mutual funds and/or exchange
traded funds (“ETFs”), stocks, and fixed income securities. To a lesser extent, Adviser
may also recommend investments in private funds and/or options.
ii.
Financial Planning. When rendering financial planning services (which may be provided
either in connection with investment management services or as a standalone service),
Adviser will evaluate and make recommendations with respect to various financial
planning topics that are relevant to a particular client. Such topics can include, for
example, retirement planning, education savings, cash flow management, debt reduction,
estate planning, insurance needs, risk mitigation, tax planning, charitable giving
strategies, and/or financial goal tracking. Implementation of Adviser’s recommendations
will be at the discretion of the client.
When rendering financial planning services, a conflict exists between Adviser’s interests
and the interests of its clients; clients are under no obligation to act upon Adviser’s
financial planning recommendations. If a client elects to act on any of the
recommendations made by Adviser, the client is under no obligation to effect the
transaction through Adviser or any of its personnel.
Consulting. In addition to or in lieu of the financial planning services described above,
Adviser also offers business and investment opportunity consulting services. By way of
example only, such consulting services rendered by Adviser may include strategic
business formation and business plan analyses, private investment opportunity research,
due diligence, and reporting, general private market assessments, and other consultative
asset allocation services.
iii.
Selection of Other Investment Advisers. From time to time and when appropriate for a
particular client, Adviser will recommend or retain an independent and unaffiliated
third-party investment adviser (“Third-Party Adviser”) to manage all or a portion of a
client’s portfolio. Third-Party Advisers are evaluated based on a variety of factors, not the
Page 4 of 21
Date of Brochure: March 09, 2026
least of which include performance return history, asset class specialization, management
tenure, and risk profile. Adviser will conduct due diligence as appropriate to confirm that
such Third-Party Advisers are duly registered and otherwise well-equipped to manage
such clients’ accounts. Adviser generally retains the discretionary authority to hire or fire
such Third-Party Advisers with or without notice to the client.
iv.
Pension Consulting Services. To the extent Adviser is retained by a pension or profit
sharing plan (a “Plan”), Adviser shall review the Plan’s investment objectives, risk
tolerance, and goals, and shall work in partnership with applicable third-parties (such as
the Plan’s recordkeeper, third-party administrator, and/or discretionary investment
manager) to establish an appropriate investment policy statement and deploy applicable
investment options into the Plan’s account. Adviser shall periodically review the
investment options available to the Plan and, if applicable, will make recommendations to
assist the Plan with respect to the selection of the Plan’s qualified default investment
alternative (“QDIA”). Adviser will provide reports, information and recommendations, on a
reasonably requested basis, to assist the Plan in monitoring the selected investments. If
elected by the Plan, Adviser may additionally be granted discretionary investment
management authority over the selection of available Plan investments. Adviser may also
provide various services related to the Plan’s governance, the education of Plan
participants, and the review of other service providers to the Plan. In connection with
Plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and
applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)
Adviser acknowledges that it is a fiduciary under ERISA and the Code, shall render
prudent investment advice that is in Plan’s best interest, shall avoid making misleading
statements, and shall receive no more than reasonable compensation.
v.
Private Fund Management: From time to time and when appropriate for a particular
client, we will offer private fund investments to our advisory clients. As of the date of this
brochure, certain advisory personnel have a material interest in two of such private
investment funds: MRWM Opportunity Fund I, LP and MRWM Opportunity Fund II, LP
(“the Funds”). Tracy Hackney and Suzanne Salter are the members and owners of
MRWM Capital Partners, LLC (the “General Partner”), the general partner of the Funds.
Tracy Hackney and Suzanne Salter are also the members and owners of MRWM Capital
Management, LLC, the investment manager to the Funds (the “Investment Manager”).
Tracy Hackney and Suzanne Salter are partners of MRWM Capital Partners SLP, the
special limited partner of the Funds (the “Special Limited Partner”). In this capacity, the
owners of MRWM (through the General Partner) control the business operations and
management of the Funds. In addition, the owners of MRWM (through the General
Partner and the Investment Manager) earn additional compensation as a result of
investments into the Fund as further described in this brochure. Fund investors should
refer to the Funds’ respective private placement memorandum, limited partnership
agreement, and subscription documents (collectively, the “Fund Offering Documents”) for
further information regarding each Fund.
C. Adviser does not sponsor or participate in any wrap fee programs.
D. When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts
with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest
and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
i. Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
prudent advice);

ii.
iii.
iv.
Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give
loyal advice);
Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your
best interest;
Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
v.
vi. Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.

Item 5: Fees and Compensation
A. Adviser is compensated for its advisory services primarily by fees charged based on a client’s
assets under management with Adviser. Adviser alternatively offers financial planning services
and consulting services on a fixed fee basis, with financial planning fees ranging between $1,000
to $5,000 per annum and consulting fees ranging up to $20,000 depending on the nature and
scope of the consulting services to be rendered by Adviser. Fees are negotiable, and each
client’s specific fee schedule is included as part of the investment advisory agreement signed by
Adviser and the client.
Adviser’s Non Fixed Income fee schedule is included below:
Client Assets Under Management
From $0 to $1,000,000
From $1,000,001 to $3,000,000
From $3,000,001 to $5,000,000
Above $5,000,000
Annual Fee Percentage
(paid quarterly)
1.25%
0.85%
0.75%
0.60%
Adviser’s standard Fixed Income fee is 0.30% per annum of fixed income assets under Adviser’s
management.
B. The fee schedule above is a “tiered” or “blended” fee schedule, which means that different annual
fee percentages will apply to different ranges of client assets under Adviser’s management. Fees
are deducted in advance on a quarterly basis from clients’ assets and based upon the market
value of such assets managed by Adviser as of the last business day of the prior calendar
quarter. Outstanding margin balances and cash are included in the assets upon which fees are
assessed.
C. In addition to the fees charged by Adviser, clients will incur brokerage and other transaction costs.
Please refer to Item 12: Brokerage Practices, for further information on such brokerage and other
transaction-related practices. Depending on the specific investment products held in a client’s
account and the services provided, a client may also incur additional fees and costs charged by
other independent and unaffiliated third-parties. Such additional fees and costs may include, but
are not necessarily limited to, the internal fees and costs of an investment product (like a mutual
fund or exchange traded fund), margin interest, account or asset transfer fees, subadvisory or
third-party investment manager fees, account type fees, early redemption charges, market-maker
or bid-ask spreads, retirement plan fees, fees for receiving paper copies of documents in lieu of
electronically-delivered documents, other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities
transactions, and fees and costs as charged to investors in the Funds. Fees assessed by
Third-Party Advisers are also generally in addition to Adviser’s fees. These additional charges are
separate and apart from the fees charged by Adviser. Lower fees for comparable services may be
available from other sources.
D. Fees for the initial quarter will be based on gross value of the assets designated to be under
Adviser’s management as of the last business day of such initial quarter and charged in arrears. If
Adviser or client terminates the advisory agreement before the end of a quarterly billing period,
the pro rata fees earned through the effective date of the termination will be billed to the client.
Fees are prorated for intra-quarter Client inflows (deposits) in excess of $50,000. Any such
additional pro-rated fees will be assessed in the quarterly billing cycle immediately following the
client in-flow (deposit).
E. Neither Adviser nor any of its supervised persons accepts compensation for the sale of securities
or other investment products.

Item 6: Performance-Based Fees & Side-By-Side
Management
Neither Adviser nor any of its supervised persons accepts performance-based fees (fees based on a
share of capital gains or capital appreciation of the assets of a client). Neither Adviser nor any of its
supervised persons engage in side-by-side management.
Page 8 of 21
Date of Brochure: March 09, 2026
Item 7: Types of Clients
Adviser generally provides its services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, trusts, estates, business
entities, charitable organizations, and pension and profit sharing plans. The minimum account value
required to open and maintain an account with Adviser is $500,000, subject to negotiation. Please note
that the Third-Party Advisers retained by Adviser may separately impose minimum account value
requirements.
Page 9 of 21
Date of Brochure: March 09, 2026
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies & Risk
of Loss
A. The investment strategies used by Adviser when formulating investment advice or managing
assets include fundamental analysis and/or technical analysis. Investing in securities involves risk
of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Past performance does not guarantee future
returns.
B. Like any investment strategy, fundamental analysis and technical analysis involve material risks.
Such material risks are described in further detail below:
i.
Investing for the long term means that a client’s account will be exposed to short-term
fluctuations in the market and the behavioral impulse to make trading decisions based on
such short-term market fluctuations. Adviser does not condone short-term trading in an
attempt to “time” the market, and instead coaches clients to remain committed to their
financial goals. However, investing for the long term can expose clients to risks borne out
of changes to interest rates, inflation, general economic conditions, market cycles,
geopolitical shifts, and regulatory changes.
ii.
Inflation risk is the risk that the value of a client’s portfolio will not appreciate at least in an
amount equal to inflation over time. General micro- and macro-economic conditions may
also affect the value of the securities held in a client’s portfolio, and general economic
downturns can trigger corresponding losses across various asset classes and security
types. Market cycles may cause overall volatility and fluctuations in a portfolio’s value,
and may increase the likelihood that securities are purchased when values are
comparatively high and/or that securities are sold when values are comparatively low.
Geopolitical shifts may result in market uncertainty, lowered expected returns, and
general volatility in both domestic and international securities. Regulatory changes may
have a negative impact on capital formation and increase the costs of doing business,
and therefore result in decreased corporate profits and corresponding market values of
securities.
iii.
Investing in mutual funds does not guarantee a return on investment, and shareholders of
a mutual fund may lose the principal that they’ve invested into a particular mutual fund.
Mutual funds invest into underlying securities that comprise the mutual fund, and as such
clients are exposed to the risks arising from such underlying securities. Mutual funds
charge internal expenses to their shareholders (which can include management fees,
administration fees, shareholder servicing fees, sales loads, redemption fees, and other
fund fees and expenses, e.g.), and such internal expenses subtract from its potential for
market appreciation. Shares of mutual funds may only be traded at their stated net asset
value (“NAV”), calculated at the end of each day upon the market’s close.
Investing in bears similar risks and incurs similar costs to investing in mutual funds as
described above. However, shares of an ETF may be traded like stocks on the open
market and are not redeemable at an NAV. As such, the value of an ETF may fluctuate
throughout the day and investors will be subject to the cost associated with the bid-ask
spread (the difference between the price a buyer is willing to pay (bid) for an ETF and the
seller's offering (asking) price).
Clients are encouraged to carefully read the prospectus of any mutual fund or ETF to be
purchased for investment to obtain a full understanding of its respective risks and costs.
iv.
Investing in common stocks means that a client will be subject to the risks of the overall
market as well as risks associated with the particular company or companies whose
Page 10 of 21
Date of Brochure: March 09, 2026
stock is owned. These risks can include, for example, changes in economic conditions,
growth rates, profits, interest rates and the market’s perception of these securities.
Common stocks tend to be more volatile and more risky than certain other forms of
investments, especially as compared to fixed income products like bonds.
v.
Investing in fixed income securities issued by the U.S. Government, including Treasury
Bills, Treasury Notes, Treasury Bonds, Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”),
and Floating Rate Notes means that a client will be subject to the market prices of such
debt securities, which typically fluctuate depending on interest rates, credit quality, and
maturity. In general, market prices of debt securities decline when interest rates rise and
rise when interest rates fall. The longer the time to a security’s maturity, the greater its
interest rate risk. Fixed income securities issued by the U.S. Government are also subject
to inflation risk, reinvestment risk, redemption risk, and valuation risk.
vi.
Investments in private investment funds (e.g., limited partnerships, limited liability
companies, special purpose vehicles, and other private investment funds) are often
subject to liquidity restrictions, which means that a client may not be able to redeem his
or her investment until a redemption window is available. In addition, such investments
can be more volatile and less transparent than an exchange-listed security that trades
daily in an electronic marketplace. Private investment funds are generally more difficult to
value than exchange-listed securities, and therefore are more reliant on individual
judgment as opposed to market prices when determining a valuation. Investors in private
investment funds are typically required to be either accredited investors, qualified clients,
or both, and should carefully consider the specific risks described in the applicable
private placement memorandum, limited partnership agreement, limited liability company
agreement, and other fund-related disclosure documents.
vii.
Investing in options has the potential to amplify losses as well as to limit potential gains,
and whether or not an option will result in a gain or a loss is wholly dependent on the
market value of the option’s underlying security. Options require the payment of a
premium (which may not be recouped), and have the potential to trigger a purchase or
sale obligation within a shorter timeframe than a more traditional long-term investment.
Implementing certain options strategies creates certain time sensitivities, such that an
options strategy may not be successful if exercises are not executed within an applicable
period of time. When selling covered calls, there is a risk the underlying position may be
called away at a price lower than the current market price. When purchasing puts, there
is a risk that the premium paid will be a sunk cost if the option expires unexercised.
viii.
Relying on the investment advisory or management services of an independent and
unaffiliated third-party adviser means that clients will be subject to such third-party
adviser’s continued ability to achieve its investment mandates, as well as specific client
investment objectives and restrictions. To the extent that a third-party adviser is
dependent on the services or intellectual capital of a select few individuals, the departure
or death of such individuals may have a material impact on the continued viability of such
third-party adviser and its ability to continue serving client accounts. There can be no
guarantee that a third-party adviser will meet its performance expectations, or that its
services will be free of trading or management-related errors.
Page 11 of 21
Date of Brochure: March 09, 2026
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
There are no legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client’s or prospective client’s evaluation of
Adviser’s advisory business or the integrity of Adviser’s management.
Page 12 of 21
Date of Brochure: March 09, 2026
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities & Affiliations
A. Neither Adviser nor any of its management persons are registered, or have an application
pending to register, as a broker-dealer or a registered representative of a broker-dealer.
B. Neither Adviser nor any of its management persons are registered, or have an application
pending to register, as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity
trading advisor, or an associated person of the foregoing entities.
C. Neither Adviser nor any of its management persons have any relationship or arrangement with
any related person below:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
vi.
vii.
viii.
ix.
broker-dealer, municipal securities dealer, or government securities dealer or broker
other investment adviser or financial planner
futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading advisor
banking or thrift institution
accountant or accounting firm
lawyer or law firm
pension consultant
real estate broker or dealer
sponsor or syndicator of limited partnerships
D. Although Cynthia Durdin is a licensed insurance agent, she does not actively sell insurance
products.
E. As described earlier in Item 4 of this brochure, Adviser retains the authority to recommend or
retain one or more Third-Party Advisers to provide investment advisory, administrative, and other
back-office services to Adviser for the benefit of Adviser and its clients. Adviser does not receive
any compensation directly from such Third-Party Adviser, but they do offer services that are
intended to directly benefit Adviser, clients, or both. Such services include (a) an online platform
through which Adviser can monitor and review client accounts, create model portfolios, and
perform other client account maintenance matters, (b) access to technology that allows for client
account aggregation, (c) quarterly client statements, (d) invitations to educational conferences,
(e) practice management consulting, (f) full or partial sponsorship of client appreciation or
education events, and (g) occasional business meals and entertainment. The availability of such
services from a Third-Party Adviser creates a conflict of interest, to the extent Adviser may be
motivated to retain a Third-Party Adviser as opposed to an alternative Third-Party Adviser (or to
not retain one at all). Adviser addresses this conflict of interest by performing appropriate due
diligence on Third-Party Advisers to confirm their respective services are in the best interests of
clients, periodically evaluating alternatives, and evaluating the merit of Third-Party Advisers
without consideration for the benefits received by Adviser.
F. As described in Item 4, Tracy Hackney and Suzanne Salter are the members and owners of the
General Partner and the Investment Manager to the Funds as well as partners of the Special
Limited Partner. This creates a financial incentive for us to recommend that you invest in the
Funds, because we will earn additional compensation that you will pay to the General Partner, the
Investment Manager, and the Special Limited Partner of the Funds as an investor. This is a
conflict of interest. We address this conflict of interest by fully disclosing it in this brochure, by
ensuring appropriate disclosure of fees, costs, and conflicts are provided in the Fund Offering
Documents, and by only recommending that clients invest in the Funds when believed to be
appropriate for such clients. The Investment Manager is a “related adviser” to MRWM and
independently registered as an investment adviser with the SEC. Investors in the Funds are
encouraged to carefully review not only the Fund Offering Documents, but also the Form ADV
Part 2A brochure of the Investment Manager.
Page 13 of 21
Date of Brochure: March 09, 2026
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions & Personal Trading
A. Adviser has adopted a code of ethics that will be provided to any client or prospective client upon
request. Adviser’s code of ethics describes the standards of business conduct that Adviser
requires of its supervised persons, which is reflective of Adviser’s fiduciary obligations to act in
the best interests of its clients. The code of ethics also includes sections related to compliance
with securities laws, reporting of personal securities transactions and holdings, reporting of
violations of the code of ethics to Adviser’s Chief Compliance Officer, pre-approval of certain
investments by access persons, and the distribution of the code of ethics and any amendments to
all supervised persons followed by a written acknowledgement of their receipt.
B. Neither Adviser nor any of its related persons recommends to clients, or buys or sells for client
accounts, securities in which Adviser or any of its related persons has a material financial
interest.
C. From time to time, Adviser or its related persons will invest in the same securities (or related
securities such as warrants, options or futures) that Adviser or a related person recommends to
clients. This has the potential to create a conflict of interest because it affords Adviser or its
related persons the opportunity to profit from the investment recommendations made to clients.
Adviser’s policies and procedures and code of ethics address this potential conflict of interest by
prohibiting such trading by Adviser or its related persons if it would be to the detriment of any
client and by monitoring for compliance through the reporting and review of personal securities
transactions. In all instances Adviser will act in the best interests of its clients.
D. From time to time, Adviser or its related persons will buy or sell securities for client accounts at or
about the same time that Adviser or a related person buys or sells the same securities for its own
(or the related person’s own) account. This has the potential to create a conflict of interest
because it affords Adviser or its related persons the opportunity to trade either before or after the
trade is made in client accounts, and profit as a result. Adviser’s policies and procedures and
code of ethics address this potential conflict of interest by prohibiting such trading by Adviser or
its related persons if it would be to the detriment of any client and by monitoring for compliance
through the reporting and review of personal securities transactions. In all instances Adviser will
act in the best interests of its clients.
Page 14 of 21
Date of Brochure: March 09, 2026
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
A. Adviser considers several factors when recommending a custodial broker-dealer for client
transactions and determining the reasonableness of such custodial broker-dealer’s
compensation. Such factors include the custodial broker-dealer’s industry reputation and financial
stability, service quality and responsiveness, execution price, speed and accuracy, reporting
abilities, and general expertise. Assessing these factors as a whole allows Adviser to fulfill its duty
to seek best execution for its clients’ securities transactions. However, Adviser does not
guarantee that the custodial broker-dealer recommended for client transactions will necessarily
provide the best possible price, as price is not the sole factor considered when seeking best
execution. After considering the factors above, Adviser recommends Raymond James Financial
Services, Inc. (“RJFS") as the custodial broker-dealer for client accounts.
i.
Adviser does not receive research and other soft dollar benefits in connection with client
securities transactions, which are known as “soft dollar benefits”. However, the custodial
broker-dealer(s) recommended by Adviser do provide certain products and services that
are intended to directly benefit Adviser, clients, or both. Such products and services
include (a) an online platform through which Adviser can monitor and review client
accounts, (b) access to proprietary technology that allows for order entry, (c) duplicate
statements for client accounts and confirmations for client transactions, (d) invitations to
the custodial broker-dealer(s)’ educational conferences, (e) practice management
consulting, and (f) occasional business meals and entertainment.
The receipt of these products and services creates a conflict of interest to the extent it
causes Adviser to recommend RJF as opposed to a comparable custodial broker-dealer.
Adviser addresses this conflict of interest by fully disclosing it in this brochure, evaluating
RJF based on the value and quality of its services as realized by clients, and by
periodically evaluating alternative broker-dealers to recommend.
ii.
Adviser does not consider, in selecting or recommending custodial broker-dealers,
whether Adviser or a related person receives client referrals from a custodial
broker-dealer or third-party.
iii.
Adviser does not routinely recommend, request, or require that a client direct Adviser to
execute transactions through a specified custodial broker-dealer other than RJF.
B. Adviser retains the ability to aggregate the purchase and sale of securities for clients’ accounts
with the goal of seeking more efficient execution and more consistent results across accounts.
Aggregated trading instructions will not be placed if it would result in increased administrative and
other costs, custodial burdens, or other disadvantages. If client trades are aggregated by Adviser,
such aggregation will be done so as not to disadvantage any client and to treat all clients as fairly
and equally as possible.
Page 15 of 21
Date of Brochure: March 09, 2026
Item 13: Review of Accounts
A. Adviser’s investment adviser representatives monitor client accounts on an ongoing basis, and
typically review client accounts on a quarterly basis. Such reviews are designed to ensure that
the client is still on track to achieve his or her financial goals, and that the investments remain
appropriate given the client’s risk tolerance, investment objectives, major life events, and other
factors. Clients are encouraged to proactively reach out to Adviser to discuss any changes to
their personal or financial situation.
B. Other factors that may trigger a review include, but are not limited to, material developments in
market conditions, material geopolitical events, and changes to a client’s personal or financial
situation (the birth of a child, preparing for a home purchase, plans to attend higher education, a
job transition, impending retirement, death or disability among family members, etc.).
C. The custodial broker-dealer will send account statements and reports directly to clients no less
frequently than quarterly. Such statements and reports will be mailed to clients at their address of
record or delivered electronically, depending on the client’s election. If agreed to by Adviser and
client, Adviser or a third-party report provider will also send clients reports to assist them in
understanding their account positions and performance, as well as the progress toward achieving
financial goals.
Page 16 of 21
Date of Brochure: March 09, 2026
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Only clients provide an economic benefit to Adviser for providing investment advice or other
advisory services to them, except as otherwise described in this brochure. However, as described
above in Item 12, the custodial broker-dealer(s) recommended for client accounts provides
certain products and services that are intended to directly benefit Adviser, clients, or both.
B. Neither Adviser nor a related person directly or indirectly compensates a person who is not
Adviser’s supervised person for client referrals.
Page 17 of 21
Date of Brochure: March 09, 2026
Item 15: Custody
For clients that do not have their fees deducted directly from their account(s), and have not provided
Adviser with any standing letters of authorization (“SLOAs”) to distribute funds from their account(s) to
third parties, Adviser will not have any custody of client funds or securities.
For clients that have their fees deducted directly from their account(s), or that have provided Adviser with
discretion as to amount and timing of disbursements pursuant to an SLOA to disburse funds from their
account(s) to third parties, Adviser will generally be deemed to have custody over such clients’ funds
pursuant to applicable custody rules and guidance thereto. At no time will Adviser accept custody of client
funds or securities in the capacity of a custodial broker-dealer or other qualified custodian, and at all times
client accounts will be held by a third-party qualified custodian as described in Item 12, above.
With respect to custody that is triggered by third party SLOAs, Adviser endeavors to comply with the
following seven conditions as listed in the 2017 SEC No Action Letter to the Investment Adviser
Association:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. The client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the client’s qualified custodian.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. The client’s qualified custodian sends the client, in writing, an initial notice confirming the
instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
If a client receives account statements from both the custodial broker-dealer and Adviser or a third-party
report provider, client is urged to compare such account statements and advise Adviser of any
discrepancies between them.
We are additionally deemed to have indirect custody with respect to client assets invested into the Funds,
since the General Partner and Investment Manager of the Fund are under common control with Adviser.
As such, the Funds’ financial statements are annually audited by an independent and unaffiliated
third-party accounting firm, and such statements are distributed to investors in the Funds.

Item 16: Investment Discretion
Adviser accepts discretionary trading authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of clients only
pursuant to the mutual written agreement of Adviser and the client through a power-of-attorney, which is
typically contained in the advisory agreement signed by Adviser and the client. This includes the authority
to buy, sell, and otherwise transact in securities and other investment products in client’s account(s)
without necessarily consulting with clients in advance. Clients may place reasonable limitations on this
discretionary authority so long as it is contained in a written agreement and/or power-of-attorney.
