Item 4: Advisory Business
Firm Description
MWM Wealth Advisory, LLC (“MWM”) was founded in 2017 and began offering advisory
services in 2017. Nathan Millerbernd is 100% owner.
MWM is a fee based investment management firm. The firm does not sell annuities,
insurance or other commissioned products, however, Investment Advisor Representatives
of the firm may offer insurance and annuity services for a fee to clients.
MWM does not act as a custodian of client assets.
An evaluation of each client's initial situation is provided to the client, often in the form of a
net worth statement, risk analysis or similar document. Periodic reviews are also
communicated to provide reminders of the specific courses of action that need to be taken.
More frequent reviews occur but are not necessarily communicated to the client unless
immediate changes are recommended.
Other professionals (e.g., lawyers, accountants, tax preparers, insurance agents, etc.) are
engaged directly by the client on an as-needed basis and may charge fees of their own.
Types of Advisory Services
Conflicts of interest will be disclosed to the client in the event they should occur.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
MWM offers discretionary asset management services to advisory clients through a wrap
fee program. Details for these services are detailed in Form ADV2A, Appendix 1.
ERISA PLAN SERVICES
MWM provides service to qualified retirement plans including 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans,
pension and profit sharing plans, cash balance plans, and deferred compensation plans.
Limited Scope ERISA 3(21) Fiduciary.
MWM acts as a 3(21) advisor:
MWM acts as a limited scope ERISA 3(21) fiduciary
that can advise, help and assist plan sponsors with their investment decisions on a non-
discretionary basis. As an investment advisor MWM has a fiduciary duty to act in the best
interest of the client. The plan sponsor is still ultimately responsible for the decisions made
in their plan, though using MWM can help the plan sponsor delegate liability by following a
diligent process.
1.
Fiduciary Services are:
Provide non-discretionary investment advice to the Client about asset classes
and investment alternatives available for the Plan in accordance with the Plan’s
investment policies and objectives. Client will make the final decision regarding
the initial selection, retention, removal and addition of investment options.
MWM acknowledges that it is a fiduciary as defined in ERISA section 3 (21) (A)
(ii).
Assist the Client in the development of an investment policy statement (“IPS”).
The IPS establishes the investment policies and objectives for the Plan. Client
shall have the ultimate responsibility and authority to establish such policies and
objectives and to adopt and amend the IPS.
Provide non-discretionary investment advice to the Plan Sponsor with respect to
the selection of a qualified default investment alternative for participants who
are automatically enrolled in the Plan or who have otherwise failed to make
6
MWM Wealth Advisory, LLC
investment elections. The Client retains the sole responsibility to provide all
notices to the Plan participants required under ERISA Section 404(c) (5) and
404(a)-5.
Assist in monitoring investment options by preparing periodic investment
reports that document
investment performance, consistency of fund
management and conformance to the guidelines set forth in the IPS and make
recommendations to maintain, remove or replace investment options.
Meet with Client on a periodic basis to discuss the reports and the
investment recommendations.
2.
Non-fiduciary Services are:
in the education of Plan participants about general
Assist
investment
information and the investment alternatives available to them under the Plan.
Client understands the MWM’s assistance in education of the Plan participants
shall be consistent with and within the scope of the Department of Labor’s
definition of investment education (Department of Labor Interpretive Bulletin
96-1). As such, MWM is not providing fiduciary advice as defined by ERISA
3(21)(A)(ii) to the Plan participants. MWM will not provide investment advice
concerning the prudence of any investment option or combination of investment
options for a particular participant or beneficiary under the Plan.
Assist in the group enrollment meetings designed to increase retirement plan
participation among the employees and investment and financial understanding
by the employees.
MWM may provide these services or, alternatively, may arrange for the Plan’s other
providers to offer these services, as agreed upon between MWM and Client.
3.
MWM has no responsibility to provide services related to the following types of assets
(“Excluded Assets”):
1.
Employer securities;

$3,000,001 - $5,000,000

Fees may be charged quarterly or monthly in arrears or in advance based on the assets as
calculated by the custodian or record keeper of the Included Assets (without adjustments
for anticipated withdrawals by Plan participants or other anticipated or scheduled
transfers or distribution of assets) on the last business day of the previous quarter or
month. If the services to be provided start any time other than the first day of a quarter or
month, the fee will be prorated based on the number of days remaining in the quarter or
month. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the fee period, MWM shall be
entitled to a prorated fee based on the number of days during the fee period services were
provided.
The fee schedule, which includes compensation of MWM for the services is described in
detail in Schedule A of the ERISA Plan Agreement. The Plan is obligated to pay the fees,
however the Plan Sponsor may elect to pay the fees. Client may elect to be billed directly or
have fees deducted from Plan Assets. MWM does not reasonably expect to receive any
additional compensation, directly or indirectly, for its services under this Agreement. If
additional compensation is received, MWM will disclose this compensation, the services
rendered, and the payer of compensation. MWM will offset the compensation against the
fees agreed upon under this Agreement.

Client Payment of Fees
Investment management fees are billed quarterly in arrears, meaning we bill you at the end
of the quarter. Payment in full is expected upon invoice presentation. Fees are usually
deducted from a designated client account to facilitate billing. The client must consent in
Additional Client Fees Charged
advance to direct debiting of their investment account.
Custodians may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of certain mutual funds,
equities, and exchange-traded funds. These charges may include Mutual Fund transactions
fees, postage and handling and miscellaneous fees (fee levied to recover costs associated
with fees assessed by self-regulatory organizations).
MWM, in its sole discretion, may waive its minimum fee and/or charge a lesser investment
advisory fee based upon certain criteria (e.g., historical relationship, type of assets,
anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amounts of
assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, negotiations with clients,
etc.).
Prepayment of Client Fees
For more details on the brokerage practices, see Item 12 of this brochure.
External Compensation for the Sale of Securities to Clients
MWM does not charge fees in advance.
Investment Advisor Representatives of MWM receive external compensation from sales of
investment related products such as insurance as licensed insurance agents. This
represents a conflict of interest because it gives an incentive to recommend products based
on the commission received. This conflict is mitigated by disclosures, procedures, and
MWM’s fiduciary obligation to place the best interest of the Client first and Clients are not
required to purchase any products or services. Clients have the option to purchase these
products through another insurance agent of their choosing.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Sharing of Capital Gains
Fees are not based on a share of the capital gains or capital appreciation of managed
securities.
MWM does not use a performance-based fee structure because of the conflict of interest.
Performance based compensation may create an incentive for the adviser to recommend an

investment that may carry a higher degree of risk to the client.
Description
MWM generally provides investment advice to individuals, high net worth individuals, and
small businesses.
Account Minimums
Client relationships vary in scope and length of service.
MWM does not require an account minimum.

MWM Wealth Advisory, LLC
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
Security analysis methods may include fundamental analysis and technical analysis.
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Past
performance is not a guarantee of future returns.
Fundamental analysis involves evaluating a stock using real data such as company
revenues, earnings, return on equity, and profits margins to determine underlying value
and potential growth. Technical analysis involves evaluating securities based on past prices
and volume.
Sources of information may include Morningstar as well as other internal and external
research. This may include online financial news, charts & graphs, data driven websites as
well as financial newspapers and magazines, annual reports, prospectuses, and filings with
Investment Strategy
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The investment strategy for a specific client is based upon the objectives stated by the
client during consultations. The client may change these objectives at any time. Each client
executes an Investment Policy Statement or Risk Tolerance that documents their objectives
and their desired investment strategy.
Security Specific Material Risks
This strategy may include long-term purchases.
All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Fundamental
analysis may involve interest rate risk, market risk, business risk, and financial risk. Risks
involved in technical analysis are inflation risk, reinvestment risk, and market risk.
Interest-rate Risk
•
Our investment approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investors face the
following investment risks and should discuss these risks with MWM:
• Market Risk
: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to
fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become
less attractive, causing their market values to decline.
•
: The price of a security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in reaction
to tangible and intangible events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by
external factors independent of a security’s particular underlying circumstances.
For example, political, economic and social conditions may trigger market
Inflation Risk
events.
• Reinvestment Risk
: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will buy more
than a dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of
inflation.
• Business Risk
: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may
have to be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e. interest rate). This
primarily relates to fixed income securities.
: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a
particular company within an industry. For example, oil-drilling companies
depend on finding oil and then refining it, a lengthy process, before they can
generate a profit. They carry a higher risk of profitability than an electric
10
MWM Wealth Advisory, LLC
• Financial Risk
company which generates its income from a steady stream of customers who
buy electricity no matter what the economic environment is like.
• Long-term purchases
: Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations increases
the risk of profitability, because the company must meet the terms of its
obligations in good times and bad. During periods of financial stress, the inability
to meet loan obligations may result in bankruptcy and/or a declining market
value.
: Long-term investments are those vehicles purchased with
the intention of being held for more than one year. Typically the expectation of
the investment is to increase in value so that it can eventually be sold for a profit.
In addition, there may be an expectation for the investment to provide income.
One of the biggest risks associated with long-term investments is volatility, the
fluctuations in the financial markets that can cause investments to lose value.

Managing Member Nathan Millerbernd is also an insurance agent. Approximately 1% of Mr.
Millerbernd’s time is spent in this practice. From time to time, he will offer clients advice or
products from those activities.
These practices represent conflicts of interest because it gives Mr. Millerbernd an incentive
to recommend products based on the commission amount received. This conflict is
mitigated by disclosures, procedures, and the firm’s Fiduciary obligation to place the best
interest of the client first and clients are not required to purchase any products. Clients
have the option to purchase these products through another insurance agent of their
choosing.
Nathan Millerbernd has passive ownership in farmland under the business name:
Greenfield Harvest, LLC. He is also the owner of Millerbernd Holdings LLC, a holding
company for his condo ownership and N8 Vacation Properties, LLC for his short term

Recommendations or Selections of Other Investment Advisors and Conflicts of
businesses. Therefore, there is no conflict of interest to disclose.
Interest
MWM does not currently utilize the services of third party money managers to manage
client accounts.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics Description
The employees of MWM have committed to a Code of Ethics (“Code”). The purpose of our
Code is to set forth standards of conduct expected of MWM employees and addresses
conflicts that may arise. The Code defines acceptable behavior for employees of MWM. The
Code reflects MWM and its supervised persons’ responsibility to act in the best interest of
their client.
One area the Code addresses is when employees buy or sell securities for their personal
accounts and how to mitigate any conflict of interest with our clients. We do not allow any
employees to use non-public material information for their personal profit or to use
internal research for their personal benefit in conflict with the benefit to our clients.
MWM’s policy prohibits any person from acting upon or otherwise misusing non-public or
inside information. No advisory representative or other employee, officer or director of
MWM may recommend any transaction in a security or its derivative to advisory clients or
engage in personal securities transactions for a security or its derivatives if the advisory
representative possesses material, non-public information regarding the security.
MWM’s Code is based on the guiding principle that the interests of the client are our top
priority. MWM’s officers, directors, advisors, and other employees have a fiduciary duty to
our clients and must diligently perform that duty to maintain the complete trust and
confidence of our clients. When a conflict arises, it is our obligation to put the client’s
interests over the interests of either employees or the company.
to clients, or who have access
The Code applies to “access” persons. “Access” persons are employees who have access to
non-public information regarding any clients' purchase or sale of securities, or non-public
information regarding the portfolio holdings of any reportable fund, who are involved in
making securities recommendations
to such
recommendations that are non-public.
The firm will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any client or prospective client upon
Investment Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest and Conflict of
request.
Interest
MWM and its employees do not recommend to clients securities in which we have a
Advisory Firm Purchase of Same Securities Recommended to Clients and Conflicts of
material financial interest.
Interest
MWM and its employees may buy or sell securities that are also held by clients. In order to
mitigate conflicts of interest such as trading ahead of client transactions, employees are
12
MWM Wealth Advisory, LLC
required to disclose all reportable securities transactions as well as provide MWM with
copies of their brokerage statements.
The Chief Compliance Officer of MWM is Nathan Millerbernd. He reviews all employee
trades each quarter. The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of
employees does not affect the markets and that clients of the firm receive preferential
Client Securities Recommendations or Trades and Concurrent Advisory Firm
treatment over employee transactions.
Securities Transactions and Conflicts of Interest
MWM does not maintain a firm proprietary trading account and does not have a material
financial interest in any securities being recommended and therefore no conflicts of
interest exist. However, employees may buy or sell securities at the same time they buy or
sell securities for clients. In order to mitigate conflicts of interest such as front running,
employees are required to disclose all reportable securities transactions as well as provide
MWM with copies of their brokerage statements.
The Chief Compliance Officer of MWM is Nathan Millerbernd. He reviews all employee
trades each quarter. The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of
employees does not affect the markets and that clients of the firm receive preferential
treatment over employee transactions.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Factors Used to Select Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions
MWM, will recommend the use of a particular broker-dealer based on their duty to seek
best execution for the client, meaning they have an obligation to obtain the most favorable
terms for a client under the circumstances. The determination of what may constitute best
execution and price in the execution of a securities transaction by a broker involves a
number of considerations and is subjective. Factors affecting brokerage selection include
the overall direct net economic result to the portfolios, the efficiency with which the
transaction is affected, the ability to effect the transaction where a large block is involved,
the operational facilities of the broker-dealer, the value of an ongoing relationship with
such broker and the financial strength and stability of the broker. MWM will select
appropriate brokers based on a number of factors including but not limited to their
relatively low transaction fees and reporting ability. MWM relies on its broker to provide
its execution services at the best prices available. Lower fees for comparable services may
be available from other sources. Clients pay for any and all custodial fees in addition to the
advisory fee charged by MWM. MWM does not receive any portion of the trading fees.
• Directed Brokerage
MWM will require the use of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
• Best Execution
MWM does not accept directed brokerage.
• Soft Dollar Arrangements
Investment advisors who manage or supervise client portfolios on a discretionary
basis have a fiduciary obligation of best execution. MWM does not exercise
discretion over client accounts.
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines soft dollar practices as
arrangement under which products or services other than execution services are
13
MWM Wealth Advisory, LLC
obtained by an advisor from or through a broker-dealer in exchange for directing
client transactions to the broker-dealer. This would be permitted by Section 28(e) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, an advisor would receive economic benefits as
a result of commissions generated from securities transactions by the broker-dealer
from the accounts of an advisor. These benefits include both proprietary research
from the broker and other research written by third parties.
Aggregating Securities Transactions for Client Accounts
A conflict of interest exists when MWM receives soft dollars. This conflict is
mitigated by disclosures, procedures, and the firm’s Fiduciary obligation.
MWM is not authorized to aggregate purchases and sales and other transactions.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Schedule for Periodic Review of Client Accounts or Financial Plans and Advisory
Persons Involved
Account reviews are performed quarterly by the Chief Compliance Officer of MWM.
Review of Client Accounts on Non-Periodic Basis
Account reviews are performed more frequently when market conditions dictate.
Other conditions that may trigger a review of clients’ accounts are changes in the tax laws,
Content of Client Provided Reports and Frequency
new investment information, and changes in a client's own situation.
Clients receive written account statements no less than quarterly for managed accounts.
Account statements are issued by the client’s custodian. Client receives confirmations of
each transaction in account from Custodian and an additional statement during any month
in which a transaction occurs.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Economic benefits provided to the Advisory Firm from External Sources and
Conflicts of Interest
Nathan Millerbernd offers services as a licensed insurance agent and from time to time,
clients will be offered insurance products and/or services. Mr. Millerbernd will receive
separate yet typical commissions on the sale of insurance products.
The above activities represent a conflict of interest because it gives an incentive to
recommend products and services based on the commission and/or fee amount received.
This conflict is mitigated by the fact that MWM has a fiduciary responsibility to place the
best interest of the client first and the clients are not required to purchase any products or
services. Clients have the option to purchase these products or services through another
Advisory Firm Payments for Client Referrals
insurance agent, or broker dealer of their choosing.
MWM does not compensate for client referrals.
Item 15: Custody
Account Statements
All assets are held at qualified custodians, which means the custodians provide account
statements directly to clients at their address of record at least quarterly.
14
MWM Wealth Advisory, LLC
MWM is deemed to have constructive custody solely because advisory fees are directly
deducted from client’s account by the custodian on behalf of MWM.
MWM is also deemed to have limited custody due to its Third-Party Standing Letters of
Authorization (“SLOA”).
MWM and its qualified custodian meet the following seven (7) conditions in order to avoid
maintaining full custody and be subject to the surprise exam requirement:
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 MWM, 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.
MWM 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.
MWM maintains records showing that the third party is not a related party nor
located at the same address as MWM.
7.
The Client’s qualified custodian sends the Client, in writing, an initial notice
confirming the instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Discretionary Authority for Trading
If applicable, Client will authorize MWM discretionary authority, via the advisory
agreement, to determine, without obtaining specific Client consent, the securities to be
bought or sold, and the amount of the securities to be bought or sold. If applicable, Client
will authorize MWM discretionary authority to execute selected investment program
transactions as stated within the Investment Advisory Agreement. If however, consent for
discretion is not given, MWM will obtain prior Client approval before executing each
transaction.
MWM allows Client’s to place certain restrictions, as outlined in the Client’s Investment
Policy Statement or similar document. Such restrictions could include only allowing
purchases of socially conscious investments. These restrictions must be provided to MWM
in writing.
The client approves the custodian to be used and the commission rates paid to the
custodian. MWM does not receive any portion of the transaction fees or commissions paid
by the client to the custodian on certain trades.
15
MWM Wealth Advisory, LLC
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Proxy Votes
MWM does not vote proxies on securities. Clients are expected to vote their own proxies.
The client will receive their proxies directly from the custodian of their account or from a
transfer agent.
When assistance on voting proxies is requested, MWM will provide recommendations to
the client. If a conflict of interest exists, it will be disclosed to the client.
Item 18: Financial Information
Balance Sheet
A balance sheet is not required to be provided because MWM does not serve as a custodian
for client funds or securities and MWM does not require prepayment of fees of more than
Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Advisory Firm’s Ability to Meet
$1,200 per client and six months or more in advance.

MWM has no condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet contractual
Bankruptcy Petitions during the Past Ten Years
commitments to our clients.
Neither MWM nor its management has had any bankruptcy petitions in the last ten years.

MWM Wealth Advisory, LLC
Item 4: Services, Fees and Compensation
Firm Description
MWM Wealth Advisory, LLC (“MWM”) was founded in 2017 and began offering advisory
services in 2017.MWM offers investment advice to clients through the Wrap Fee Program
(“Program”) based on the individual needs of the client. MWM is the sponsor of the
Program. Nathan Millerbernd is 100% owner of the MWM and responsible for
management of the Program accounts.
Program Services
This disclosure brochure is limited to describing the Program and other information that a
client should consider prior to establishing an account in the Program. For a complete
description of other programs and services offered by MWM, clients should refer to
MWM’s Form ADV Part 2A, a copy of which will be provided by MWM to the client upon
request.
MWM provides continuous and regular supervisory services on a discretionary basis.
MWM will offer clients ongoing portfolio management services through determining
individual investment goals, time horizons, objectives, and risk tolerance. Investment
strategies, investment selection, assets allocation, portfolio monitoring and the overall
investment program will be based on the above factors.
MWM will contact the client prior to executing transactions in the account.
Through a multiple step discovery process, MWM obtains the necessary financial data
from the client and assists the client in setting appropriate investment objectives for the
Program account. MWM obtains updated information from the client during regularly
scheduled client performance reviews, as necessary in order to provide personalized
investment advice to the client.
The client will be required to enter into a written agreement with MWM in order to
establish a Program account. The client will also be required to complete an application
with the broker/dealer that will act as custodian for Program account assets.
A Wrap Fee Program is an investment advisory program in which clients pay one fee for
both the investment advisory services and the transaction costs in the account(s). The fee
is bundled with MWM’ costs for executing transactions in the account(s). This may result
in a higher advisory fee to the client. MWM does not charge clients higher advisory fees
based on the trading activity, but clients should be aware that MWM may have an
incentive to limit the trading activities in the account(s) because MWM is charged for
executed trades. By participating in a wrap fee program, clients may end up paying more
or less than they would through a non-wrap fee program where a lower advisory fee may
be charged, but trade execution costs are passed directly through to the client by the
executing broker.
The Program Fee is not based directly upon the actual transaction or execution costs for
the transactions within the account(s). Depending on the underlying investments in the
Program and how much trading activity occurs, clients may pay more or less than if they
chose another advisory program that does not have a wrap fee, or if clients chose to pay
separately for all of the transaction costs (e.g., pay the advisory fee plus all transaction
- 3 -
MWM Wealth Advisory, LLC
Program Fees
charges). Similar services to those offered in the Program may be purchased from another
unaffiliated financial services provider.
MWM offers discretionary direct asset management services to advisory clients. The fee
will be negotiable and based on the following Fee Schedule:
Value of Assets
Annual Fee Quarterly Fee
First
$0.00 - $500,000
1.00%
0.2500%
Next
$500,001 - $3,000,000

0.0625%
This is a blended fee schedule, the portfolio management fee is calculated by applying
different rates to different portions of the portfolio. MWM may group certain related client
accounts for the purposes of achieving the minimum account size and determining the
annualized fee.
MWM’s annual fee may be negotiable based on a number of factors, which include but are
not limited to “grandfathered” accounts, related accounts, and other structures that we
may consider in special situations. Accounts within the same household may be combined
for a reduced fee. Fees are billed quarterly in arrears based on the average daily balance.
The calculation for the average daily balance is based on the formula (A/D) x (F/P).
For example (based on quarterly billing period):
A = the sum of the daily balances in the billing period
D = number of days in the billing period
F = annual management fee
P = number of billing periods per year (i.e. quarterly or monthly)
the first step taken using the average-
daily-balance calculation method would be to take the average of the values of the client’s
account over the course of the entire quarter.
For example, a client with an account value of $850,000 would be charged the following:
$850,000 being managed would be calculated as:
20 days at $850,000 plus 10 days at $230,000 averages out to approximately $643,333.33
Based on the formula (A/D) x (F/P), the example would be: the fee for the first $500,000
would be (.0025 x 500,000) = $1,250. The fee for the remaining $143,333.33 would be
(.002125 x 143,333.33) = $304.58.
The total quarterly fee would be: ($1,250+$304.58) = $1,554.58.
Initial fees for partial quarters are pro-rated. Lower fees for comparable services may be
available from other sources. Clients may terminate their account within five (5) business
days of signing the Investment Advisory Agreement for a full refund. Clients may terminate
advisory services with thirty (30) days written notice. For accounts closed mid-quarter,
- 4 -
MWM Wealth Advisory, LLC
MWM will be entitled to a pro rata fee for the days of service that was provided in the final
quarter. Client shall be given thirty (30) days prior written notice of any increase in fees.
Client will acknowledge, in writing, any agreement of increase in said fees before any
increase in fees occurs.
The Annual Fee is paid to and retained by MWM and the advisory representatives.
In addition to the Annual Fee, clients may also incur certain charges imposed by third
parties in connection with investments made through Program accounts, including those
imposed by the custodian. These may include, but are not limited to, the following: mutual
fund or money market 12b-1 fees, sub-transfer agent fees, certain deferred sales charges
on previously purchased mutual funds transferred into the account, other transaction
charges and service fees, IRA and qualified retirement plan fees, alternative investment
administrative fees, administrative servicing fees for trust accounts, creation and
development fees or similar fees imposed by unit investment trust sponsors, managed
futures investor servicing fees, and other charges required by law. MWM does not receive
any portion of these fees. Further information regarding charges and fees assessed by a
mutual fund are available in the appropriate prospectus.
Mutual funds may also charge a redemption fee if a redemption is made within a specific
time period following the investment. The terms of any redemption fee are disclosed in the
fund’s prospectus. Transactions in mutual fund shares (e.g., for rebalancing, liquidations,
deposits or tax harvesting) may be subject to a fund’s frequent trading policy.
Since Mr. Millerbernd is the only advisor and owner of the firm, he will receive 100% of
the fees paid for management of the wrap program, this may create an incentive to
recommend that clients participate in a wrap fee program rather than a brokerage account
where commissions are charged. This is because, in some cases, MWM may stand to earn
more compensation from advisory fees paid through a wrap fee program arrangement if
clients’ accounts are not actively traded. As an investment philosophy, MWM practices an
investment strategy that allocates and diversifies assets according the unique
characteristics and risk tolerance of each client.
Item 5: Account Requirements and Types of Clients
Account Minimum
Types of Clients
MWM does not require a minimum to open an account.
MWM generally provides investment advice to individuals, high net worth individuals, and
small businesses.
Client relationships vary in scope and length of service.
Item 6: Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation
Portfolio Manager
Nathan Millerbernd, Managing Member, will manage all Program accounts. He has been in
the financial services industry since 1999 and an investment advisor representative since
2000. Since no other persons, affiliated or unaffiliated will manage the wrap program,
there are no additional processes for selection or review of managers. Clients make the
decision to select MWM as their portfolio manager.
- 5 -
MWM Wealth Advisory, LLC
Conflicts of Interest
Since all programs are managed by Nathan Millerbernd, there is no conflict of interest
regarding portfolio managers.
The Program may cost the Client more or less than purchasing Program services
separately. Factors that bear upon the cost of the Program account in relation to the cost of
the same services purchased separately include: the type and size of the account, the
historical and/or expected size or number of trades for the account, and the number and
range of supplementary advisory and Client related services provided to the account.
The Annual Fee is an ongoing fee for investment advisory services and may cost the Client
more than if the assets were held in a traditional brokerage account. In a brokerage
account, a Client is charged a commission for each transaction and the representative has
no duty to provide ongoing advice with respect to the account. If the Client plans to follow
a buy and hold strategy for the account or does not wish to purchase ongoing investment
advice or management services, the Client should consider opening a brokerage account
rather than a Program account.
MWM receives compensation as a result of the Client’s participation in the Program. The
amount of this compensation may be more or less than what MWM would receive if the
Client participated in other programs or paid separately for investment advice, brokerage
and other Client services. Therefore, MWM may have a financial incentive to recommend
the Program account over other programs and services. MWM acts as the portfolio
manager for the Program and retains the management fee less execution costs. This may
create a conflict of interest because MWM may have a disincentive to trade securities in
the account to keep the execution costs low therefore retaining a larger portion of the
Advisory Business
management fee.
MWM offers clients an asset management account through the Program in which MWM
directs and manages Program assets for client.
Sharing of Capital Gains
Client provided goals and objectives are documented in individual client files. Investment
strategies are created that reflect the stated goals and objective.
Fees are not based on a share of the capital gains or capital appreciation of managed
securities.
Methods of Analysis
MWM does not use a performance-based fee structure because of the potential conflict of
interest. Performance-based compensation may create an incentive for the adviser to
recommend an investment that may carry a higher degree of risk to the client.
Security analysis methods may include fundamental analysis and technical analysis.
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Past
performance is not a guarantee of future returns.
Fundamental analysis involves evaluating a stock using real data such as company
revenues, earnings, return on equity, and profits margins to determine underlying value
and potential growth. Technical analysis involves evaluating securities based on past
prices and volume.
- 6 -
MWM Wealth Advisory, LLC
General Investment Strategy
Sources of information may include Value Line, Morningstar, as well as other internal and
external research. This may include online financial news, charts & graphs, data driven
websites as well as financial newspapers and magazines, annual reports, prospectuses, and
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The investment strategy for a specific client is based upon the objectives stated by the
client during consultations. The client may change these objectives at any time. Each client
executes an Investment Policy Statement, Risk Tolerance or similar form that documents
their objectives and their desired investment strategy.
Security Specific Material Risks
Other strategies may include long-term purchases and short-term purchases.
All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Fundamental
analysis may involve interest rate risk, market risk, business risk, and financial risk. Risks
involved in technical analysis are inflation risk, reinvestment risk, and market risk.
Our investment approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investors face the
following investment risks and should discuss these risks with MWM:
Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to
fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less
attractive, causing their market values to decline.
Market Risk: The price of a security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in reaction to
tangible and intangible events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by external
factors independent of a security’s particular underlying circumstances. For example,
political, economic and social conditions may trigger market events.
Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will buy more
than a dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
Reinvestment Risk: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have
to be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e. interest rate). This primarily
relates to fixed income securities.
Business Risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a particular
company within an industry. For example, oil-drilling companies depend on finding
oil and then refining it, a lengthy process, before they can generate a profit. They
carry a higher risk of profitability than an electric company which generates its
income from a steady stream of customers who buy electricity no matter what the
economic environment is like.
Financial Risk: Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations increases the
risk of profitability, because the company must meet the terms of its obligations in
good times and bad. During periods of financial stress, the inability to meet loan
obligations may result in bankruptcy and/or a declining market value.
Long-term purchases: Long-term investments are those vehicles purchased with the
intention of being held for more than one year. Typically the expectation of the
investment is to increase in value so that it can eventually be sold for a profit. In
addition, there may be an expectation for the investment to provide income. One of
- 7 -
MWM Wealth Advisory, LLC
Proxy Voting
the biggest risks associated with long-term investments is volatility, the fluctuations
in the financial markets that can cause investments to lose value.
MWM does not vote proxies on securities. Clients are expected to vote their own proxies.
The client will receive their proxies directly from the custodian of their account or from a
transfer agent.
When assistance on voting proxies is requested, MWM will provide recommendations to
the client. If a conflict of interest exists, it will be disclosed to the client
Item 7: Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers
Description
MWM obtains the necessary financial data from the client and assists the client in setting
appropriate investment objectives for the Program account. MWM obtains updated
information from the client as necessary in order to provide personalized investment
advice to the client. It is the client’s responsibility to inform MWM of any changes in their
stated objectives, financial situation, life circumstances or risk tolerance.
Client will be required to enter into a written agreement with MWM in order to establish a
Program account. Client will also be required to complete an application with the
broker/dealer that will act as custodian for Program account assets.
Item 8: Client Contact with Portfolio Managers
Restrictions
There are no restrictions placed on clients’ ability to contact and consult with the portfolio
managers since Nathan Millerbernd is the portfolio manager.
Item 9: Additional Information

Material Relationships Maintained by this Advisory Business and Conflicts of Interest
Managing Member Nathan Millerbernd is also a licensed insurance agent. Approximately
1% of Mr. Millerbernd’s time is spent in this activity. From time to time, he will offer clients
advice or products from this activity.
This practice represents a conflict of interest because it gives Mr. Millerbernd an incentive
to recommend products/and or services based on the commission amount received. This
conflict is mitigated by disclosures, procedures, and the firm’s Fiduciary obligation to place
the best interest of the client first and clients are not required to purchase any products.
Clients have the option to purchase these products through another insurance agent of
their choosing.
Code of Ethics Description
Nathan Millerbernd has passive ownership in farmland under the business name:
Greenfield Harvest, LLC. He is also the owner of Millerbernd Holdings LLC, a holding
company for his condo ownership and N8 Vacation Properties, LLC for his short term
vacation property. Nathan Millerbernd does not solicit, nor engage any clients in these
businesses. Therefore, there is no conflict of interest to disclose.
The employees of MWM have committed to a Code of Ethics (“Code”). The purpose of our
Code is to set forth standards of conduct expected of MWM employees and addresses
conflicts that may arise. The Code defines acceptable behavior for employees of MWM. The
Code reflects MWM and its supervised persons’ responsibility to act in the best interest of
their client.
One area the Code addresses is when employees buy or sell securities for their personal
accounts and how to mitigate any conflict of interest with our clients. We do not allow any
employees to use non-public material information for their personal profit or to use
internal research for their personal benefit in conflict with the benefit to our clients.
MWM’s policy prohibits any person from acting upon or otherwise misusing non-public or
inside information. No advisory representative or other employee, officer or director of
MWM may recommend any transaction in a security or its derivative to advisory clients or
engage in personal securities transactions for a security or its derivatives if the advisory

MWM Wealth Advisory, LLC
Investment Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest and Conflict of
Interest
MWM and its employees do not recommend to clients securities in which we have a
material financial interest.
Advisory Firm Purchase of Same Securities Recommended to Clients and Conflicts of
Interest
MWM employees may buy or sell securities that are also held by clients. In order to avoid
conflicts of interest such as front running of client trades, employees are required to
disclose all reportable securities transactions as well as provide MWM with copies of their
brokerage statements.
The Chief Compliance Officer of MWM is Nathan Millerbernd. He reviews all employee
trades each quarter. The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of
employees does not affect the markets and that clients of the firm receive preferential
treatment over employee transactions.
Client Securities Recommendations or Trades and Concurrent Advisory Firm Securities
Transactions and Conflicts of Interest
MWM does not maintain a firm proprietary trading account and does not have a material
financial interest in any securities being recommended and therefore no conflicts of
interest exist. However, employees may buy or sell securities at the same time they buy or
sell securities for clients. In order to mitigate conflicts of interest such as front running,
employees are required to disclose all reportable securities transactions as well as provide
MWM with copies of their brokerage statements.
