Discounts to Fees: MWS Capital often provides negotiated rates lower than the Fee Schedule, which can
vary by client, and depend on factors such as investment objectives, account size, and the expense
of supervising a client account. MWS Capital may also waive or discount fees at our discretion.
Charging of Fees: Fees are billed an d deducted monthly in advance, (1/12 the annual fee) with the total
amount based on the prior month’s account value, including cash. In the case of margin accounts we
will charge on the net asset value. You may also pay by check, where we will bill you for payment, and
provide instructions about how to pay by check. We will refund any fees advanced in the event
of termination, and we do not charge fees that are greater than $1200 and more than six months in
advance. Fees deducted from your account can be viewed by you in your account statements,
and you are responsible for verifying the accuracy of the fee calculation. Fees are negotiable and we
may charge fees for other clients different than yours. New clients are billed upon the first calendar
month after the inception of the relationship. Clients re ceive advance notice of any fee revisions.
Refunds and Termination: We accept no prepayment of fe es greater than $1200 and six months or more
in advance. Fees will be refunded upon notice of te rmination of the Client Agreement within 5 days of
the inception of client relationship. Clients may terminate advisory services at any time with written
notice. Adviser fees will be prorated and finalized within one week of the termination date. Upon receipt
of a termination notice, we will request written instructions and verbal confirmation from you on any
further account activity or transfer instructions to be effected by us.
MWS Capital does not accept any compensation from our custodian or other brokers for their sale
of securities or other investment products. We do not impose a minimum dollar value of assets
for starting or maintaining a specific account.
ERISA Accounts: MWS Capital is deemed to be a fiduciary to advisory clients that are employee benefit
plans or individual retirement accounts (IRAs) pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income and
Securities Act ("ERISA"), and regulations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"),
respectively. As such, our firm is subject to specific duties and obligations under ERISA and the Internal
Revenue Code that include among other things, restrictions concerning certain forms of compensation.
5
Custodian fees, commissions or mutual fund expenses: Clients are responsible for the ordinary brokerage
commissions, charges, and fund investment expenses in their account. These are separate from our
management fee. Our custodians provide fee schedules such as their commission scale, and information
on underlying fund investment expenses to client firms. Contact us for our firm's specific custodian
commission schedules. Since custodians often impose account custody fees or various other charges, we
have retained a $4.95 stock commission to avoid these higher costs on our clients. We believe this aligns
our clients’ interests in portfolio management over passive custody fees, and we evaluate these costs on
an ongoing basis.
In addition, if your account holds investment vehicles such as mutual funds, ETFs and/or private
investment funds, you will be subject to the internal management fees, and expenses, and any
performance fees charged by these vehicles.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management: MWS Capital does not charge any
performance-based fees or separate flat or hourly service fees.
Item 7: Types of Clients: We presently provide advisory services to individuals, high net worth
individuals, and their personal trusts, pension and profit-s haring plans, and corporations or other
businesses. We require new clients to have a minimum of $1,000,000 to invest with us, though we
retain the discretion to waive the minimum under appropriate circumstances.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss: MWS Capital uses fundamental,
technical, charting and cyclical analysis utilizing information from financial newspapers and magazines,
assessment of corporate activities, annual reports, prospectuses, filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, research materials prepared by others and corporate rating services and
company press releases.
Our Investment Strategy uses both long-term (securities held at least a year) and short-term purchases
(securities sold within a year).

investing in the economy for you. This 'Held for Investment' approach seeks investments that can
accumulate profits, pay dividends and income, and reward your capital. Our investment advice is

algorithmic investment strategies.
Our Investment Policy is based on the principle that investors make money by employing their capital
directly in modern economic enterprises through the ownership of common stocks, notes, bonds,
and funds. Our goal is to hold investments for the long run, in order to capture the profits of your
direct economic stakes, because investments fluctuate in value, especially over short time periods.
We will p repare a Portfolio Design for you to provide an initial investment plan for your investments.
We diversify portfolios given account size and your preferences to reduce risk and provide broad
economic exposure to your investments. We also employ a traditional Asset Allocation Strategy
between various types of common stocks, fixed income, and funds. Our strategy seeks to maximize
our client's investment goals by balancing profit potential with their risk tolerances so they are
successful with their investments by participating in rising markets, while accumulating holdings in
difficult markets. We may actively trade your holdings, given general market conditions, or other
technical factors. It is our policy generally not to time the market or sell investments during periodic
declines, unless instructed by you.

Risk of Loss

accounts vary, and there is no guarantee your account will match the aggregate performance of all
accounts, or that your individual objectives will be met. Any past performance record has its
limitations and is just one factor in evaluating our services for you.
Funds with MWS Capital are held for investment, fluctuate in value, and are highly correlated to the
financial markets, which are volatile and may decline significantly in response to factors such as U.S.
and global economic conditions and general trends in business and finance that are beyond our control.
Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments, and there is no guarantee that
investments with MWS Capital will avoid these risks.
All investment strategies, including the investment strategy of MWS Capital, involve the risk of loss of
a portion of or all assets. There is no guarantee that your account will have a result equivalent to or
better than benchmarks such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, or Barclay's Aggregate
Bond Index. You may have significant losses in individual stock, bond, or mutual fund investments in
your accounts. In the event that the financial markets
suffer a downturn that results in a
significant decline, client accounts with MWS Capital will be adversely affected and you may suffer a
loss. Our investment strategy specifically does not seek to avoid investment risk.

Diversification/asset allocation does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss, as multiple asset classes
may move in tandem during difficult markets. In general, the bond market is volatile, and fixed income
securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This
effect is more pronounced for longer-t erm securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation
risk, liquidity risk, call risk, and credit and issuer default risks. Stock markets, especially foreign
markets, are volatile and can decline

regulatory, market, or economic developments. Growth or Value stocks or Mutual Funds can
perform differently from the market as a whole and can be more volatile than other types of stocks or
investments.
All asset classes are increasingly volatile and highly correlated to external factors out of our control
such as the price of oil, policies of the Federal Reserve and central banks, supposition about the US
business cycle or economic outcomes in foreign countries, fiscal policies and government regulation,
disruption of the Internet or communication, political events, terrorist attacks, or acts of
nature such as earthquakes and pandemics. There is no guarantee that even the most conservative
investments or your investments with us as a whole will avoid these risks: during periods of market
stress the value of your accounts will fall and this may cause you a loss.

We make no warranties, promises or guarantees, express or implied, as to interest rates, fluctuations in
interest rates, future premium payments, your market values or investment returns, and/or your income tax
consequences.
Investments in mutual funds, stocks and bonds are not deposits of a bank and are not insured or guaranteed
by the FDIC or other government agency. Our advisory services cannot forecast market declines, or
corporate actions or market events that may adversely affect the value of your securities and your
accounts. Please contact us immediately with any questions about your accounts or our services.
Cybersecurity Risk: The computer systems, networks and devices used by MWS Capital and service
providers to us and our clients to carry out routine business operations employ a variety of protections
designed to prevent damage or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and
telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons and security breaches. Despite the
various protections utilized, systems, networks, or devices potentially can be breached. A client
could be negatively impacted as a result of a Cybersecurity breach. Cybersecurity breaches can
include unauthorized access to systems, networks, or devices; infection from computer viruses or other
malicious software code; and attacks that shut down, disable, slow, or otherwise disrupt
operations, business processes, or website access or functionality. Cybersecurity breaches may cause
disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses to a client;
impediments to trading; the inability by us and other service providers to transact business; violations
of applicable privacy and other laws; regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement
or other compensation costs, or additional compliance costs; as well as the inadvertent release of
confidential information. Similar adverse consequences could result from Cybersecurity breaches
affecting issuers of securities in which a client invests; governmental and other regulatory
authorities; exchange and other financial market operators, banks, brokers, dealers, and other
financial institutions; and other parties. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred by these
entities to prevent any cybersecurity breaches in the future.
Alternative Investments/Private Funds Risk: Investing in alternative investments is not suitable for all
clients, and intended for experienced and sophisticated investors who are willing to bear the higher
economic risks of the investment, which can include:
•
loss of all or a substantial portion of the investment due to leveraging, short-selling or other
investment practices;
•
lack of liquidity in that there may be no secondary market for the investment and none expected to
develop;
•
volatility of returns;
•
restrictions on transferring interests in the investment;
•
potential lack of diversification and resulting higher risk due to concentration of trading authority
when a single adviser is utilized;
•
absence of information regarding valuations and pricing;
•
delays in tax reporting;
•
less regulation and higher fees than mutual funds; and
•
risks associated with the operations, personnel, and processes of the manager of the funds investing
in alternative investments.
Clients are strongly encouraged to review the private offering memorandums which offer a more
complete discussion of the risks of investing in alternative and private funds.

Item 9: Disciplinary Information We are required to disclose any legal or disciplinary events that are
material to a client's or prospective client's evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our
management. Our firm and our management personnel have no reportable disciplinary events to
disclose.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Our firm and our management personnel
have no other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
MWS Capital has adopted a code of ethics that sets forth the standards of conduct expected of its
associated persons and requires compliance with applicable securities laws ("Code of Ethics "). In accordance
with Section 204A of the Advisers Act, its Code of Ethics contains written policies reasonably designed to
prevent the unlawful use of material non -public information by the Adviser or any of its associated
persons. The Code of Ethics also requires that certain of the Adviser's personnel (called "Access Persons ")
report their personal securities holdings and transactions and obtain pre-approval of certain investments
such as initial public offerings and limited offerings.
Finally, the Code also governs the Access Persons personal securities trading, receipt of gifts or gratuities
and the confidentiality of client information.
Clients may contact the Adviser to request a copy of its Code of Ethics .
MWS Capital and persons associated with it are permitted to trade simultaneously with clients consistent
with MWS Capital's policies and procedures. If a security is limited, the clients’ transactions will always
go first. Neither MWS Capital nor any of its access persons shall receive preferential treatment in trading
or receive a better price than the clients if done simultaneously.
No principal of MWS Capital participates in any client transaction. Clients do not participate in client
transactions, excepting rare instances, if and when we determine it is in separate clients' mutual interest,
that MWS Capital can facilitate an exchange of stocks, bonds or notes between client accounts for a
better price than could be obtained by either in the marketplace. In these cases, the`cross' transaction
value is set independently at a fair price by our custodian. Please contact us for more information about
our Code of Ethics and this Item 11.
MWS Capital Consultants LLC is committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and security
of personal information about our current and prospective clients. We have adopted various procedures
to implement the firm's policy and conducts reviews to monitor and ensure the firm’s policy is observed,
implemented properly and amended or updated, as appropriate, including the Non-Disclosure of Client
Information and the Safeguarding of Client Information.
We may collect and use public and non-public personal information to service and maintain our client
accounts from sources such as information provided by our clients to us, information on applications or
other forms, account transactions, and information provided by our custodian. We do not disclose
nonpublic personal information about our clients, except as permitted by you, or to fulfill legal or
regulatory requirements, and allowed by law.

MWS Capital protects personal information and uses it with respect for the privacy of our clients. We
consider the protection of p ersonal information to be a foundation of t rust and sound practice. We
employ physical and electronic and procedural controls, and restrict access to personal information only
to those who require it to service our client accounts. Our cybersecurity policy, in conjunction with our
Firm's Identity Theft and Privacy policies, recognizes the critical importance of
safeguarding clients'
personal information as well as the confidential and proprietary information of the firm and its
employees. Maintaining the security, integrity and accessibility of the data maintained or c onveyed
through the Firm's operating systems is a fundamental requisite of ou r business operations and an
important component of our fiduciary duty to our clients. Protecting all the a ssets of our clients and
safeguarding the proprietary and confidential information of the firm and its employees is a fundamental
responsibility of every MWS Capital Consultants LLC employee.
Please ask for more information on our Privacy Policy and Information Protection Programs.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
When exercising discretion on selecting or recommending a broker and commission rate, the primary
considerations are its financial strength, service standards, and ability to offer complete custody services.
Clients expressly approve the brokers MWS Capital recommends for custody of client accounts. MWS
Capital does not maintain discretion as to which dealer or particular commission may be used on a
specific transaction by our custodian nor do we direct trades. Not all advisors recommend custody and
brokerage with a specific service provider.
Recommendation of Brokers: MWS Capital only selects or recommends brokers who are registered as
broker dealers in the states where clients reside. Brokers must also provide complete custody services
with high service standards and financial strength able to serve our client accounts. At present,
custody and brokerage at Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services, a provider of custody and
brokerage services to registered investment advisors, trust institutions and third party administrators,
meets these criteria and is recommended to clients.
Because we custody primarily with Fidelity we have a conflict of interest in recommending Fidelity as
your custodian, as well as using Fidelity F unds. We believe that our recommendation is in the best
interests of our clients and satisfies our client obligations, including our duty to seek best execution,
pricing, and service, and we annually evaluate and compare Fidelity’s services to the other custodians.
MWS Capital does not receive any cash benefits for recommending that clients custody their assets at
Fidelity. However, we have maintained a longstanding relationship with Fidelity which we consider
beneficial due to high standards of service, access to fund managers and due diligence for our clients,
and the opportunity to invest client assets in certain Fidelity funds.
Parts or all of your account will comprise mutual funds, and we primarily recommend actively managed
funds, which have higher costs than index funds. We primarily recommend Fidelity funds, along with
some non-Fidelity funds, and our custodian, Fidelity, earns revenue from each, more from Fidelity funds
than non-Fidelity funds, and more from actively managed funds than from index funds. Because we
custody with Fidelity we have a conflict of interest in recommending primarily Fidelity funds, and
primarily actively managed funds. However, we use, if possible, the lowest cost “clean” share classes for
our investors, nor do we receive direct or indirect compensation from Fidelity. We assess our individual
fund investments at least annually, in aggregate, that they meet standards of cost, performance, and
reputation. We have a conflict of interest in recommending that a client roll over assets from a plan or
10
IRA from which we do not provide any services or receive compensation to an IRA in which we provide
services and receive compensation.
Trade Errors Our goal is to execute trades seamlessly and in the best interests of the client. In the event
a trade error by MWS Capital occurs, we endeavor to identify the error in a timely manner, correct
the error so that the client’s account is in the same position than it would have been had the error
not occurred.
For trade errors for clients custodied with Fidelity, a trade correction account is maintained. If a trade
error is processed through the account, MWS Capital is required to submit, in a timely fashion, a trade
correction request and attestation form. Through such corrective action, the client’s account is placed in
the position than it would have been had there been no error. A trade correction account statement is
provided by Fidelity for periods in which a trade error occur. The statement lists trade corrections made
through the account during the period. We review and reconcile its record of correction requests with
the statement. Corrections generally have a gain or loss resulting from market movement between the
time of the error and time of correction. At the end of the month, gains and losses are netted. A net gain
will be sent to a charity of Fidelity’s choice. A net loss is the responsibility of MWS Capital. Conflicts of
interest in maintaining a trade correction account are mitigated by our policies and procedures designed
to prevent and promptly correct trade errors and the requirement that Fidelity approve the trade error
correction.
MWS Capital dies not accept soft dollars, or compensation or proprietary research from F idelity or
other brokers, excepting common research, attendance at sponsored investment conferences and
events, plus account management software normally provided to advisory firms.
The value of such provisions is not a criterion for selecting or recommending a broker, and are normally
provided to advisory firms of similar size, and such material and services allows us to facilitate our
advisory services for our clients. We do not receive referrals from brokers or our custodian, or direct
brokerage transactions, and we receive the explicit authority of our clients to use the brokerage services
of our custodian. In assessing the costs and capabilities of our custodian
that we recommend to
our clients, we believe their commission schedule, and other compensation they may receive from
clients, are appropriate given the significant services they provide to our clients.
Aggregation of Client Orders: We often aggregate client orders in a “block trade” where possible when
advantageous to clients, as determined on a trade-by-trade basis.
Item 13: Review of Accounts Matthew W. Shapiro, President, is the reviewer of Client Accounts,
presently approximately one hundred thirty five client relationships. Client Accounts are reviewed at
least quarterly. Account reviews include the review of monthly account statements provided by our
custodian, current holdings, receipts and distributions, account values, and investment performance.
Investment advice is directed by Mr. Shapiro using his research, knowledge and prudent judgment
accumulated/gained through many years of investment and advisory experience. MWS Capital does
not use a quantitative, automated, or systematic investment or trading strategy. Account information is
continuously available to clients provided by our custodian online at Fidelity.com. Clients receive
monthly and year end Account statements, trade confirmations, and tax information from Fidelity, as
well as personal contact and follow-up from us as part of our comprehensive advisory services.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation We do not have referral arrangements, nor receive
or provide direct or indirect compensation for referrals.
11
Item 15: Custody We do not take custody of client funds which are held by our custodian who
provides our clients with monthly brokerage statements showing values, balances and all
activity in their accounts, including any management fees debited by us. Account information
is also available continuously to clients online at Fidelity.com.
We also have custody of client accounts from 3rd party common standing letters of authorization
(“SLOAs”) which permit us to instruct the account custodian to disburse assets to certain 3rd parties.
We previously disclosed in the "Fees and Compensation" section (Item 5) of this Brochure that we
directly debit advisory fees from client accounts. As part of this billing process, the amount of the fee
to be deducted from client's accounts are uploaded to the custodian and reflected on the statements.
Because our custodian does not calculate the amount of the fee to be deducted, it is important for
clients to carefully review their brokerage statements to verify the accuracy of the calculation,
among other things. Any fees deducted from your account will be also recorded by our custodian
in their client account statements. We urge all of our clients to carefully read and review
the information provided on these statements and contact us immediately if they believe that there
may be an error.
Item 16: Investment Discretion: MWS Capital Consultants LLC exercises investment discretion solely
on behalf of its clients for account(s) that the client has engaged advisory services. Without obtaining
specific client consent, this includes which securities to bought or sold, and their respective amounts
for a client’s account. We do not exercise discretion with respect to the broker dealer to be used or
their commission rates to be paid by client accounts.

Capital will request authorization from a client before effecting
scope of their current and customary investments for their account. We will not exercise discretion,
or charge fees, or transact, on certain account positions if services have not been requested
for these positions. Our clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain
securities, types of securities, or industry sectors.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities We do not have authority to exercise proxy voting on
our client’s behalf. Clients receive proxy materials directly from transfer agents, the issuers of
funds or individual securities and our custodian. We do not advise you on the voting of proxies, unless
at client request, and clients can contact us by phone, email or in writing for questions they may
have about proxies.
Item 18: Financial Information. We do not require or solicit payment of fees in excess of $1200
per client and six months or more in advance. Therefore, we are not required to include a
financial statement. As an advisory firm that maintains discretionary authority for client
accounts, we are required to disclose any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair our
ability to meet our contractual obligations. We presently have no adverse financial condition that
would impair us.
Participation in SBA loan programs: In April 2020 we applied for and were approved for $79,000 in an
EIDL loan. We qualified for this program due to the pandemic and economic uncertainty that
harmed our business, including and not limited to; a decline in revenue and growth, the write off of
unusable office space, our inability to host client events or have in person client meetings, and our
inability to meet with prospects or potential new clients or other important professional
relationships of ours. The foregoing does not affect or impair our ability to meet our contractual
obligations to our clients.

MWS Capital Consultants LLC has no additional financial circumstances to report, nor has everbeen the
subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time, or at any time during the past ten years.
