Item 4: Advisory Business
Firm Information
This Disclosure Brochure ("Form ADV Part 2") provides information regarding the qualifications,
business practices, and the advisory services provided by Nautilus Wealth Advisor's (the 11Firm",
11we", "us", or 11our"). We are solely owned by Shannon T. Pitner, Founder, Chief Executive
Officer, and Chief Compliance Officer.
We provide investment advisory services to individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts,
and estates. Our investment advisory services include investment management, financial
planning, and selection of other advisors.
As part of our services, we recommend certain professionals (e.g., attorneys, accountants,
insurance agents, real estate agents, mortgage brokers, etc.) to assist with the implementation
of recommended strategies. Conflicts of interest, if present, will be disclosed to our client.
Types of Advisory Services
Financial Planning
We offer financial planning services, which includes a review of all aspects of a client's current
financial situation, including the following components: cash management, risk management,
insurance, education funding, goal setting, retirement planning, estate and charitable giving
planning, tax planning, and capital needs planning. Clients understand that when we are
engaged to address only certain components, the client's overall financial and investment
issues may not be taken into consideration.
We meet with the client to review risk tolerance, financial goals and objectives, and time
horizons. Additional meetings include a review of additional financial information; sources of
income, assets owned, existing insurance, liabilities, wills, trusts, business agreements, tax
returns, investments, and personal and family obligations.
The financial plan includes both long and short-term considerations, depending upon the
individual scenario. Upon completion a plan is presented to the client and the client is provided
with recommendations that are deemed to be compatible with the client's stated goals and
objectives. An implementation schedule is reviewed with the client to determine which steps
will be pursued, and with whom the steps will be accomplished. The client is under no
obligation to utilize the Firm to implement the advice or plan. Clients choose all or certain
components of advice and recommendations and can implement the recommendations
through the service providers of their choice.
Wealth Management Services
We will typically provide a variety of wealth management services to individuals and families, in
several areas of a client's financial situation, depending on their goals, objectives, and
resources.
In Wealth Management engagements, we provide ongoing financial planning services as
described above and we provide customized investment management solutions for our clients.
We work with each client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk
4
tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio allocation. We will then construct
a portfolio consisting of exchange traded funds ("ETFs"), mutual funds, individual stocks and
bonds, or other securities.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
We provide advisory services to retirement plans (each a "Plan") and the company/sponsor of
the Plan (the "Plan Sponsor"). Our retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the
Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Each
engagement is customized to the needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor.
Tailored Relationships
We tailor investment advisory services to the individual needs of the client. Our clients are
allowed to impose restrictions on the investments in their account. All limitations and
restrictions placed on accounts must be presented to us in writing.
Wrap Fee Programs
We typically recommend several "Wrap Fee" Program(s)" sponsored by broker-dealers. A Wrap
Fee Program provides the client with advisory and brokerage execution services for an all-
inclusive fee. The client is not charged separate fees for the respective components of the total
service.
In a Wrap Fee Program, you give us the discretion to select other investment adviser(s) who
then manage the portfolio(s) using stocks, bonds, mutual funds and exchange traded funds. We
receive a portion of the total wrap fee for our investment management services.
The only significant difference between how we manage wrap fee accounts versus other
accounts is that wrap fee account trading is executed through a directed broker.
In evaluating Wrap Fee Programs, you should consider that, depending upon the level of the
wrap fee charged, the amount of portfolio activity in your account, the broker-dealer's usual
commission rates and other factors. The Wrap Fee could be more or less than the aggregate
cost of such services if they were provided separately and if we were to negotiate commissions
and seek best price and execution of transactions for your account. For further information
about the investment advisor(s) we recommend, refer to their specific Wrap Fee Program
Brochure (Form ADV Brochure, Appendix I).
Fiduciary Statement
Both we and our employees are fiduciaries who must take into consideration the best interests
of the Firm's clients. We will act with competence, dignity, integrity, and in an ethical manner,
when dealing with clients. We will use reasonable care and exercise independent professional
judgement when conducting investment analysis, making investment recommendations,
trading, promoting our services, and engaging in other professional activities.
As a fiduciary, we have the obligation to deal fairly with its clients. We have the following
responsibilities when working with a client:
• To render impartial advice;
• To make appropriate recommendations based on the client's needs, financial
5
circumstances and investment objectives;
• To exercise a high degree of care and diligence to ensure that information is presented
in an accurate manner and not in a way to mislead;
• To have reasonable basis, information, and understanding of the facts in order to
provide appropriate recommendations and representations;
• Disclose any material conflict of interest in writing; and
• Treat clients fairly and equitably.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, we have $107,918,714 of discretionary assets under management.
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
We base fees on a percentage of assets under management and fixed fees.
Compensation - Financial Planning
Financial Planning fees will be charged as follows:
Initial Planning Fee
Assets Under Management
$500
< $500,000
$800
$500,000 - $1,000,000
$1,000
> $1,000,000
All financial planning fees are due in advance. In no cases, will more than $1,200 be collected
from the client more than 6 months in advance.
Investment Advisory Services
These Investment Advisory services generally include using a model portfolio of mutual funds
typically provided through Raymond James' Freedom account program. These services are
provided using the following annual fee schedule:
Total Fee-Based Relationship Value
Annual Fee
Up to $4,999,999
1.20%
$5,000,000 up to $9,999,999
0.95%
$10,000,000 and Up

-
The asset-based fee shall be prorated and paid quarterly in advance. Fees are based on the
market value of the total assets in the client relationship, including cash, on the last day of the
previous quarter as valued by the Custodian.
Raymond James Consulting Services (RJCS) - Independent Managers
These Investment Advisory services through RJCS include the use of independent managers to
customize their advice to each individual client and typically include using equity securities in
the portfolio.
6
These services using RJCS are provided using the following annual fee schedule:
Total Fee-Based Relationship Value
Up to $4,999,999
$5,000,000 up to $9,999,999
$10,000,000 and up
Annual Fee
1.60%
1.35%
1.05%
The asset-based fee shall be prorated and paid quarterly in advance. Fees are based on the
market value of the total assets in the client relationship, including cash, on the last day of the
previous quarter as valued by the Custodian.
The Investment Advisory services and the Investment Advisory services through RJCS are each
billed separately, and we do not household those accounts.
Retirement Plan Services Fees
We charge an annualized fee of up to 0.70% of the plan's assets for the pension consulting services
described above. Generally, a fixed fee will not exceed 1.00% of the plan's assets unless there are
special circumstances warranting a higher fee. The type and amount of the fees charged to the
client are negotiable and are generally based on the size and complexity of the plan, the number
of plan participants, the location of the participants, the estimated number of meetings required,
and other factors that are deemed relevant by the Firm when negotiating with the client. An
estimate of the total cost will be determined at the start of the advisory engagement. Fees for
pension consulting services are generally payable quarterly in advance.
Calculation and Payment
The specific manner in which we charge fees is established in your written agreement with us.
You authorize us to directly debit fees from client accounts.
Management fees shall be prorated for capital contributions and withdrawals over $100.000
made during the applicable calendar quarter.
Our clients pay fees in advance; accounts initiated during a calendar quarter will be charged a
prorated fee. Upon termination of any account, any prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly
refunded.
General Information on Compensation and Other Fees
In certain circumstances, fees, account minimums and payment terms are negotiable
depending on client's unique situation - such as the size of the aggregate related party
portfolio size, family holdings, low cost basis securities, or certain passively advised investments
and pre-existing relationships with clients. Certain clients could be paying more or less than
others depending on the amount of assets, type of portfolio, or the time involved, the degree of
responsibility assumed, complexity of the engagement, special skills needed to solve problems,
the application of experience and knowledge of the client's situation.
Our fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and
expenses which shall be incurred by the client. Clients incur certain charges imposed by
7
custodians, brokers, third party investment and other third parties such as fees charged by
managers, custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire
transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and
securities transactions. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal
management fees, which are disclosed in a fund's prospectus.
Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to our fee, and our shall
not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
All fees paid to us for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and
expenses charged by mutual funds to their shareholders. These fees and expenses are
described in each fund's prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee, other
expenses, and a possible distribution fee. If the fund also imposes sales charges, a client pays an
initial or deferred sales charge.
A client could invest in a mutual fund directly, without the services of Nautilus Wealth Advisors.
In that case, the client would not receive the services provided by our which are designed,
among other things, to assist the client in determining which mutual funds are most
appropriate to each client's financial condition and objectives. Accordingly, the client should
review both the fees charged by the funds and the fees charged by our Firm to fully understand
the total amount of fees to be paid by the client and to thereby evaluate the advisory services
being provided.
Clients should note that similar advisory services could be available from other registered
investment advisers for similar or lower fees.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
"Performance-based fees" are fees based on the capital gains or capital appreciation in an
account. We do not charge performance-based fees. "Side-by-side management" refers to the
practice of managing both accounts that are charged a performance-based fee and accounts
that are charged other types of fees, such as asset-based fees and hourly fees. Because we do
not charge performance-based fees, we do not engage in side-by-side management.
Item 7: Types of Clients
Types of Clients
We provide services to individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, and estates.
Account Minimums
We do not have a minimum account size.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
We use the following methods of analysis in formulating our investment advice
and/or managing client assets:
8
Fundamental Analysis, which attempts to measure the intrinsic value of a security by looking
at economic and financial factors (including the overall economy, industry conditions, and the
financial condition and management of the company itself) to determine if the company is
underpriced (indicating it could be a good time to buy) or overpriced (indicating it could be
time to sell).
Fundamental analysis does not attempt to anticipate market movements. This presents a
potential risk, as the price of a security can move up or down along with the overall market
regardless of the economic and financial factors considered in evaluating the stock.
Technical Analysis, which analyzes past market movements and apply that analysis to the
present in an attempt to recognize recurring patterns of investor behavior and potentially
predict future price movement.
Technical analysis does not consider the underlying financial condition of a company. This
presents a risk in that a poorly managed or financially unsound company could underperform
regardless of market movement.
Investment Strategies
The investment strategy for a specific client is based upon the objectives stated by the client
during consultations and the client can change these objectives at any time. Other strategies
include long-term purchases, short-term purchases, trading, short sales, margin transactions,
and option writing (including covered options, uncovered options, or spreading strategies).
We reserve the right to advise clients on any other type of investment that it deems
appropriate based on the client's stated goals and objectives. We also provide advice on any
type of investment held in a client's portfolio at the inception of the advisory relationship or on
any investment on which the client requests advice.
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
All investments involve the risk of loss, including (among other things) loss of principal, a
reduction in earnings (including interest, dividends, and other distributions}, and the loss of
future earnings. Although we manage assets in a manner consistent with your investment
objectives and risk tolerance, there can be no guarantee that our efforts will be successful.
You should be prepared to bear the following risks of loss:
•
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 next year will not buy as
9
much as a dollar today, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
• Currency Risk: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the
dollar against the currency of the investment's originating country. This is also referred
to as exchange rate risk.
• 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.
• Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash.
Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized
product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties (i.e.
Non-traded REITs and other alternative investments} are not.
• 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.
• Cybersecurity Risk: A breach in cybersecurity refers to both intentional and
unintentional events that may cause a Firm to lose proprietary information, suffer data
corruption, or lose operational capacity. This, in turn, could cause the Firm to incur
regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and additional compliance costs associated
with corrective measures, and/or financial loss.
• Pandemic Risk: Large-scale outbreaks of infectious disease can greatly increase
morbidity and mortality over a wide geographic area, crossing international boundaries,
and causing significant economic, social, and political disruption.
Each client should review the mutual fund prospectus for the specific risks related to each fund that is
held in the client's account.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
There have never been any legal, regulatory or disciplinary actions against the Firm or our
management persons.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Financial Industry Activities
We are not registered as a broker-dealer, and none of our management persons are registered
representatives of a broker-dealer. We are not registered and do not have an application
pending as a securities broker-dealer, futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator
or commodity trading advisor.
We select other investment advisors for our clients. We do not receive any compensation for
the selection of other managers.
10
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
We have adopted a Code of Ethics, the full text of which is available to clients upon request. We
have several goals in adopting this Code. First, we desire to comply with all applicable laws and
regulations governing its practice, and the management of our Firm has determined to set forth
guidelines for professional standards, under which all associated persons of the Firm are to
conduct themselves. We have set high standards, the intention of which is to protect client
interests at all times and to demonstrate its commitment to its fiduciary duties of honesty,
good faith and fair dealing with Clients. All associated persons are expected to adhere strictly to
these guidelines, as well as the procedures for approval and reporting established in the Code
of Ethics primarily related to personal securities transactions, and violations of the Code. In
addition, we maintain and enforce written policies reasonably designed to prevent the misuse
of material non-public information by the Firm or any person associated with us. Please
contact our Chief Compliance Officer at 321-724-1888 to obtain a complete copy of our Code of
Ethics.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
We do not receive formal soft dollar benefits other than execution from broker/dealers in
connection with client securities transactions. See disclosure below in "Brokerage - Other
Economic Benefits".
Brokerage for Client Referrals
We do not receive client referrals from broker/dealers.
Directed Brokerage
While not routine, the client is allowed to direct us to use a particular broker-dealer to execute
some or all transactions for the client. This brokerage direction must be requested by the client
in writing. In that case, the client will negotiate terms and arrangements for the account with
that broker-dealer, and we will not seek better execution services or prices from other broker-
dealers or be able to "batch" client transactions for execution through other broker-dealers
with orders for other accounts managed by us. By directing brokerage, the client could pay
higher commissions or other transaction costs or greater spreads, or receive less favorable net
prices, on transactions for the account than would otherwise be the case. Not all advisers
require or allow their clients to direct brokerage. Subject to our duty of best execution, we
could decline a client's request to direct brokerage if, in our sole discretion, such directed
brokerage arrangements would result in additional operational difficulties.
If the client requests us to arrange for the execution of securities brokerage transactions for the
client's account, we shall direct such transactions through broker-dealers that we reasonably
believe will provide best execution. We shall periodically and systematically review its policies
and procedures regarding recommending broker-dealers to its client in light of its duty to
obtain best execution.
11
Directed Brokerage -Wrap Fee Programs
As disclosed in Item 4, some clients participate in wrap fee programs. In evaluating a wrap-fee
program, a client should recognize that brokerage commissions for the execution of
transactions in their account are not negotiated. Transactions are effected net, i.e., without
commission and a portion of the wrap fee is generally considered to be in lieu of commissions.
Trades are generally expected to be executed only with the broker dealer with which the client
has entered into the wrap fee arrangement.
We may not, therefore, be free to seek best price and execution by placing transactions with
other broker dealers. Our experience indicates that certain broker dealers under clients' wrap
fee agreements generally offer best price for transactions in listed equity securities, but no
assurance can be given that such will continue to be the case with those or other broker dealers
which offer wrap fee arrangements, nor with respect to transactions in other types of
securities. The client should ensure that the broker dealer offering the wrap-fee arrangement
can provide adequate price and execution of most or all transactions. The client should also
consider that depending on the wrap-fee charged by the broker dealer, the amount of portfolio
activity in the client's account, the value of custodial and other services which are provided
under the arrangement, and other factors, the wrap-fee could exceed the aggregate cost of
such services were they to be provided separately and if the firm were free to negotiate
commissions and seek best price and execution of transactions for the client's account.
Brokerage - Other Economic Benefits
We do receive some traditional "non-cash benefits" from broker/dealers such as customized
statements; receipt of duplicate client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; access
to a trading desk servicing advisors exclusively; access to block trading which provides the
ability to aggregate securities transactions and then allocate the appropriate shares to client
portfolios; ability to have investment advisory fees deducted directly from client portfolios;
access to an electronic communication network for client order entry and portfolio information;
access to mutual funds which generally require significantly high minimum initial investments
or those that are otherwise only generally available to institutional investors; reporting
features; receipt of industry communications; and perhaps discounts on business-related
products.
Broker/dealers provide general access to research and perhaps discounts on research products;
however, we currently do not access any research or research products. Any research received
is used for the benefit of all clients. We have no written or verbal arrangements whereby we
receive soft dollars. While we endeavor at all times to put the interest of the clients first as part
of its fiduciary duty, clients should be aware that the receipt of any additional compensation
itself creates a conflict of interest and may affect the judgment of these individuals when
making recommendations.
Trade Aggregation
We do not aggregate or block trades. Trade aggregation is the act of trading a large block of a
security in a single order. Shares of a purchased security are then allocated to the appropriate
accounts in the appropriate proportion. The main purposes of order aggregation are (i) for ease
of trading and (ii) to obtain a lower transaction cost associated with trading a larger quantity.
12
As a result, clients purchasing securities around the same time could receive a less favorable
price than other clients. In addition, not aggregating trades could result in higher transaction
costs, as a client will not benefit from lower transaction cost which might be achieved if the
trade was aggregated.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Reviews
Accounts are reviewed by Shannon T. Pitner, Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief
Compliance Officer. The client review includes comparing the portfolio and current security
positions with the goals and objectives as outlined by the investment policy statement,
reviewing changes to the client's investment circumstances, evaluating the specific holdings, re-
balancing the portfolio and communicating the current status of the portfolio and any
recommended actions to the client.
Review Triggers
Other conditions that trigger a review are changes in market, political or economic conditions,
tax laws, new investment information, and changes in a client's own situation.
Reporting
At least quarterly, the custodian provides clients with an account statement for each client
account, which includes individual holdings, cost basis information, deposits and withdrawals,
accrued income, dividends, and performance.
Financial Planning- Reviews and Reporting
The initial financial plan is included as a component of the financial planning service, available
online. Clients receive updated financial plans for a separate fee.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Other Compensation
We do not receive any economic benefits (other than normal compensation and benefits
described in Item 12} from any firm or individual for providing investment advice.
Compensation - Client Referrals
We do not make or accept referral fees or any form of remuneration from other professionals
when a prospect or client is referred to them.
Item 15: Custody
Custody - Fee Debiting
Clients authorize us in the client agreement to debit fees directly from their account at the
broker dealer, bank or other qualified custodian ("custodian"}. The custodian is advised in
writing of the limitation of our access to the account. The custodian sends a statement to the
client, at least quarterly, indicating all amounts disbursed from the account including the
amount of advisory fees paid directly to the Firm.
13
Custody - First Party Money Transfers
Clients provide us with written ongoing authorization to wire money between the client's
accounts held with the custodian directly to an outside financial institution (i.e. a client's bank
account). A copy of this authorization is provided to the custodian. The authorization includes
the client's account number(s) at the outside financial institution(s) as required.
Custody- Third Party Money Transfers
Clients could provide us with a standing letter of authorization or similar asset transfer
authorization which allows us to disburse funds on behalf of clients to third parties. We
currently do not have any third party standing letters of authorization in place. We will ensure
the following conditions are in place if we were to implement this practice:
1. The client provides a Written Authorization to the custodian that includes all
appropriate information as to how the transfer should be directed;
2. The Written Authorization includes instruction to direct transfers to the third party
either on a specified schedule or from time to time;
3. Appropriate verification is performed by the custodian, along with a transfer of funds
notice to the client promptly after each transfer;
4. The client may terminate or change the instruction to the custodian;
s. We have no authority or ability to designate or change any information about the third
party contained in the instruction;
6. We maintain records showing that the third party is not a related party of the Firm or
located at the same address as the Firm; and
7. The custodian sends the client a written initial notice confirming the instruction and an
annual written confirmation thereafter.
Custody - Account Statements
Clients receive at least quarterly statements from the custodian that holds and maintains
client's investment assets. Clients are urged to carefully review such statements and compare
such official custodial records to the reports that we provide. Our reports could vary from
custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation
methodologies of certain securities.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
We accept limited power of attorney to act on a discretionary basis on behalf of clients. A
limited power of attorney allows us to execute trades on behalf of clients. When such limited
powers exist between the Firm and the client, we have the authority to determine, without
obtaining specific client consent, both the amount and type of securities to be bought to satisfy
client account objectives. If we have not been given discretionary authority, we consult with the
client prior to each trade.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Proxy Voting
We do not have any authority to, nor do we vote proxies on behalf of clients. Clients retain the
responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for securities maintained in their portfolios;
14
clients receive these proxies directly from either custodians or transfer agents. If requested, we
provide advice to clients regarding proxy votes. If any conflict of interest exists, it will be
disclosed to the client. Clients may contact us at (321) 609-1110 for information about proxy
voting.
Item 18: Financial Information
We have no financial commitments that impair our ability to meet contractual and fiduciary
commitments to clients and we have not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. We do
not require prepayment of fees of both more than $1,200 per client, and more than six months
in advance; and therefore, we are not required to provide a balance sheet to clients.

CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional
I am certified for financial planning services in the United States by Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards,
Inc. (“CFP Board”). Therefore, I may refer to myself as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional or a
CFP® professional, and I may use these and CFP Board’s other certification marks (the “CFP Board Certification
Marks”). The CFP® certification is voluntary. No federal or state law or regulation requires financial planners to hold
the CFP® certification. You may find more information about the CFP® certification at www.cfp.net.
CFP® professionals have met CFP Board’s high standards for education, examination, experience, and ethics. To
become a CFP® professional, an individual must fulfill the following requirements:
• Education – Earn a bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited college or university and complete CFP Board-
approved coursework at a college or university through a CFP Board Registered Program. The coursework covers
the financial planning subject areas CFP Board has determined are necessary for the competent and professional
delivery of financial planning services, as well as a comprehensive financial plan development capstone course. A
candidate may satisfy some of the coursework requirement through other qualifying credentials.
• Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination is designed to assess
an individual’s ability to integrate and apply a broad base of financial planning knowledge in the context of real-life
financial planning situations.
• Experience – Complete 6,000 hours of professional experience related to the personal financial planning process, or
4,000 hours of apprenticeship experience that meets additional requirements.
• Ethics – Satisfy the Fitness Standards for Candidates for CFP® Certification and Former CFP® Professionals
Seeking Reinstatement and agree to be bound by CFP Board’s Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct (“Code
and Standards”), which sets forth the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements to remain
certified and maintain the right to continue to use the CFP Board Certification Marks:
• Ethics – Commit to complying with CFP Board’s Code and Standards. This includes a commitment to CFP Board,
as part of the certification, to act as a fiduciary, and therefore, act in the best interests of the client, at all times when
providing financial advice and financial planning. CFP Board may sanction a CFP® professional who does not abide
by this commitment, but CFP Board does not guarantee a CFP® professional's services. A client who seeks a similar
commitment should obtain a written engagement that includes a fiduciary obligation to the client.
• Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education every two years to maintain competence,
demonstrate specified levels of knowledge, skills, and abilities, and keep up with developments in financial planning.
Two of the hours must address the Code and Standards.
