The information in this Brochure has not been approved or verified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or by any state securities authority. NerdWallet Wealth Partners, LLC is registered as an Investment Adviser with the SEC. Registration of an Investment Adviser does not imply any level of skill or training. Additional information about NWWP is available on the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov, which can be found using the Firm’s CRD# 337328.  Item 2: Material Changes Form ADV Part 2 requires registered investment advisers to amend their brochure and notify clients of any material changes. Because our initial SEC registration became effective on June 13, 2025, this filing represents our first Annual Updating Amendment. Since the filing of our initial Form ADV Part 2 brochure, we have made the following material changes: ● Discretionary Investment Management We clarified that the firm provides investment management services on a discretionary basis. The updated disclosure explains that Clients authorize us to make investment decisions on their behalf, including the authority to trade securities, rebalance portfolios, and implement investment strategies without obtaining prior approval for each transaction. The scope of our discretionary authority remains subject to the Client agreement and any reasonable investment restrictions imposed by the Client. ● Use of Third-Party Sub-Advisers We disclosed that, as part of our discretionary investment management services, the firm may engage third-party investment advisers, referred to as sub-advisers, to manage all or a portion of Client assets. We further disclose that the firm currently engages sub-advisers to implement an ESG model portfolio strategy and an options-based borrowing strategy that utilizes synthetic loan contract economics. We confirmed that the firm retains responsibility for determining the suitability of any sub-advised strategy for a Client and for providing ongoing monitoring and supervision of both the Client’s account and the sub-adviser. Refer to Item 4 for additional information. ● Fee Treatment for Sub-Adviser Managed Assets We clarified that fees charged by sub-advisers are separate from, and in addition to, the advisory fees charged by us. We also disclosed that assets managed by a sub-adviser are included when calculating our advisory fee in accordance with the fee schedule described in the Investment Management Services section of this brochure. We confirmed that the use of a sub-adviser does not increase the firm’s advisory fee rate, that Clients compensate sub-advisers directly, and that the firm does not receive compensation, directly or indirectly, from any sub-adviser. Refer to Item 5 for additional information. ● Fee Schedule Update. We have updated the fee schedule for our Investment Management Services. Specifically, we introduced an annual flat fee of $900 for accounts with assets under $100,000, billed quarterly in arrears. We also revised the asset range associated with the first tier of our assets-under-management fee schedule. The 0.90% annual advisory fee, which previously applied to accounts below $500,000, now applies to accounts with assets between $100,000 and $500,000. The advisory fee rate for this tier has not changed. All other asset tiers and corresponding advisory fees remain unchanged. In addition, the Investment Management Services section was updated to clarify how billing for assets-under-management fees is calculated. Specifically, we clarified that each client is charged a single, annualized percentage rate based on the market value of assets under management as of the last day of the quarter. The quarterly fee is calculated by applying one-fourth of the annual rate, 2  adjusted for the actual number of days in the quarter, to the account’s market value as of the last day of the quarter. For additional information on advisory fees, refer to Item 5. These changes do not modify the fee arrangements of existing clients. Each client’s Investment Management Agreement continues to govern the applicable advisory fees. ● Strategy-Specific Risks We added separate, strategy-specific risk disclosures in Item 8, including one addressing risks associated with ESG model strategies and another addressing risks associated with options-based and derivatives strategies. Refer to Item 8 for additional information. ● Client Referrals We updated our referral arrangements to disclose that we now maintain referral relationships with both affiliated and unaffiliated promoters, who are compensated based on lead-generation activities. Refer to Item 14 for additional information. ● IRA Rollover Recommendations We updated Item 4 of our brochure to incorporate our IRA Rollover Fiduciary Acknowledgment. This means that when we provide you with investment advice about whether to roll over retirement plan assets, we act as a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). We also updated Item 5 to include IRA Rollover considerations, which explain the other available options and disclose the conflicts of interest associated with these recommendations. For more information regarding IRA rollovers, please refer to Items 4 and 5 of our Brochure. ● Brokerage Practices Update We updated Item 12 for clarity to better describe our custodial arrangements, the services provided by recommended broker-dealers, and related conflicts of interest. Refer to Item 12 for more information. ● Account Reviews We updated Item 13 to clarify that client accounts are monitored on an ongoing basis and reviewed at least annually to help ensure that investments and asset allocations remain aligned with clients’ goals and objectives. ● Client Referrals and Other Compensation Disclosure Update. We updated Item 14 for clarity to better describe the economic benefits we receive from recommended broker-dealers and custodians and the related conflicts of interest. For more information refer to Item 14. ● Discontinued Service We have discontinued our standalone financial planning service. Accordingly, we have removed this service and all related references to it, including references to the third-party provider that previously assisted in preparing those standalone financial plans. We continue to offer comprehensive financial planning as part of our Investment Management Services. 3  Item 3: Table of Contents Item 2: Material Changes .............................................................................................................................. 2 Item 3: Table of Contents ............................................................................................................................. 4 Item 4: Advisory Business ............................................................................................................................ 5 Item 5: Fees and Compensation .................................................................................................................... 9 Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By- Side Management ............................................................ 11 Item 7: Types of Clients .............................................................................................................................. 11 Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss ...................................................... 11 Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations .................................................................... 15 Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading ............... 16 Item 12: Brokerage Practices ...................................................................................................................... 17 Item 13: Review of Accounts ..................................................................................................................... 19 Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation .................................................................................... 19 Item 15: Custody ......................................................................................................................................... 20 Item 16: Investment Discretion ................................................................................................................... 21 Item 17: Voting Client Securities ............................................................................................................... 21 Item 18: Financial Information ................................................................................................................... 21 4  Item 4: Advisory Business Description of Advisory Firm NerdWallet Wealth Partners, LLC (“NWWP”, “Firm” or “Adviser”) is an SEC-registered investment adviser formed in May 2025 and is the successor to the business of Future You Wealth, LLC, which was founded in 2019 and acquired by NWWP on June 13, 2025. NWWP is a subsidiary of NerdWallet, Inc. (“NerdWallet”). As of December 31, 2025, NWWP had $262,843,327 in discretionary assets under management and no non-discretionary assets under management. Types of Advisory Services Investment Management Services We are in the business of managing individually tailored investment portfolios, including the selection of investment strategies and asset allocations designed to reflect each Client’s financial circumstances and objectives. We provide investment management services on a discretionary basis, meaning Clients authorize us to make investment decisions such as buying or selling securities, rebalancing, and implementing investment strategies without obtaining prior approval for each transaction. The scope of our discretionary authority is defined in the Client agreement and may be subject to reasonable restrictions the Client imposes. Our firm provides continuous advice to a Client regarding the investment of Client funds based on the individual needs of the Client. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on a Client's circumstances are established, we develop a Client's personal investment policy or an investment plan with an asset allocation target, and we create and manage a portfolio based on that policy and those allocation targets. We will also review and discuss a Client’s prior investment history, as well as family composition and background. Account supervision is guided by the stated objectives of the Client (e.g., maximum capital appreciation, growth, income, or growth, and income), as well as tax considerations. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of securities, or industry sectors. Fees pertaining to this service are outlined in Item 5 of this brochure. As part of our discretionary investment management services, we may engage third-party investment advisers, referred to as sub-advisers, to manage all or a portion of a Client’s portfolio on a discretionary basis pursuant to a defined investment strategy. For additional information regarding our selection and monitoring of sub-advisers, please refer to the section titled Selection of Other Advisers. As part of our investment management services, we offer comprehensive financial planning. This involves working one-on-one with a planner over an extended period of time and is included as a part of our investment management services at no additional cost. Clients will be taken through establishing their goals and values around money. They will be required to provide information to help complete the following areas of analysis: net worth, cash flow, employee benefit, retirement planning, insurance, investments, college planning, and estate planning. Once the Client's information is reviewed, their plan will be built and analyzed, and then the findings, analysis and potential 5  changes to their current situation will be reviewed with the Client. Clients will receive a written or an electronic report, providing the Client with a detailed financial plan designed to achieve his or her stated financial goals and objectives. If a follow-up meeting is required, we will meet at the Client's convenience. The plan and the Client's financial situation and goals will be monitored throughout the year and follow-up phone calls and emails will be made to the Client to confirm that any agreed upon action steps have been carried out. On an annual basis, there will be a full review of this plan to ensure its accuracy and ongoing appropriateness. Any needed updates will be implemented at that time. The Client and adviser will work together to select specific areas to cover. These areas may include, but are not limited to, the following: ● Cash Flow and Debt Management: We will conduct a review of your income and expenses to determine your current surplus or deficit along with advice on prioritizing how any surplus should be used or how to reduce expenses if they exceed your income. Advice may also be provided on which debts to pay off first based on factors such as the interest rate of the debt and any income tax ramifications. We may also recommend what we believe to be an appropriate cash reserve that should be considered for emergencies and other financial goals, along with a review of accounts (such as money market funds) for such reserves, plus strategies to save desired amounts. ● College Savings: Includes projecting the amount that will be needed to achieve college or other post-secondary education funding goals, along with advice on ways for you to save the desired amount. Recommendations as to savings strategies are included, and, if needed, we will review your financial picture as it relates to eligibility for financial aid or the best way to contribute to grandchildren (if appropriate). ● Financial Goals: We will help Clients identify financial goals and develop a plan to reach them. We will identify what you plan to accomplish, what resources you will need to make it happen, how much time you will need to reach the goal, and how much you should budget for your goal. ● Investment Analysis: This may involve developing an asset allocation strategy to meet Clients’ financial goals and risk tolerance, providing information on investment vehicles and strategies, reviewing employee stock options, as well as assisting you in establishing your own investment account at a selected broker/dealer or custodian. The strategies and types of investments we may recommend are further discussed in Item 8 of this brochure. ● Retirement Planning: Our retirement planning services typically include projections of your likelihood of achieving your financial goals, typically focusing on financial independence as the primary objective. For situations where projections show less than the desired results, we may make recommendations, including those that may impact the original projections by adjusting certain variables (e.g., working longer, saving more, spending less, taking more risk with investments). If you are near retirement or already retired, advice may be given on appropriate distribution strategies to minimize the likelihood of running out of money or having to adversely alter spending during your retirement years. ● Risk Management: A risk management review includes an analysis of your exposure to major risks that could have a significant adverse impact on your financial picture, such as premature death, disability, property and casualty losses, or the need for long‐term care planning. Advice may be 6  provided on ways to minimize such risks and about weighing the costs of purchasing insurance versus the benefits of doing so and, likewise, the potential cost of not purchasing insurance (“self-insuring”). Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions We offer the same suite of services to all investment management Clients. However, specific Client financial plans and their implementation are dependent upon the Client Investment Policy Statement which outlines each Client’s current situation and is used to construct a Client specific plan to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches restrictions, needs, and targets. Selection of Other Advisers (Use of Sub-Advisers) We may recommend or select third-party investment advisers, referred to as sub-advisers, to manage all or a portion of a Client’s portfolio. We currently engage sub-advisers for the implementation of (1) a specialized ESG model portfolio strategy, and (2) an options-based borrowing strategy that structures option positions to reflect synthetic loan contract economics. These strategies require specialized research, data sourcing, or options execution infrastructure that the sub-adviser provides. The firm currently engages Ethic, Inc. as a sub-adviser for the implementation of its ESG model portfolio strategy and SyntheticFi as a sub-adviser for the implementation of its options-based borrowing strategy. When we select a sub-adviser for a Client, we remain responsible for determining whether the sub-advised strategy is appropriate for the Client based on the Client’s financial goals, risk tolerance, time horizon, and any reasonable restrictions. We also retain responsibility for the ongoing monitoring and supervision of both the Client’s account and the sub-advisor. This includes reviewing the sub-advisor’s performance, assessing the continued suitability of the strategy for the Client, and confirming that the sub-adviser is managing the Client’s assets in accordance with the selected mandate. Certain sub-advised strategies are implemented on a discretionary, model-driven basis. Once a Client’s account is allocated to a particular sub-advised investment strategy, the sub-adviser is responsible for implementing and periodically rebalancing the portfolio or positions in accordance with the applicable strategy parameters, without considering the individual investment objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, or tax circumstances of each Client account. With respect to options-based borrowing strategies, the sub- adviser exercises discretionary authority over the selection, execution, and management of option positions once a Client’s account is allocated to the strategy. The firm remains responsible for determining the initial and ongoing suitability of each strategy for the Client. We continue to serve as the Client’s primary adviser and main point of contact. All financial planning, portfolio oversight, and advisory communications are conducted through our firm. Additional information about the material risks associated with ESG investing and options-based strategies is provided in Item 8 of this brochure. 7  IRA Rollover Fiduciary Acknowledgment As part of our investment advisory services, we may recommend that you roll over assets from an employer- sponsored retirement plan (such as a 401(k) plan) into an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”) that we manage. Under applicable federal law, such a recommendation may be interpreted as a conflict of interest because the rollover would increase the amount of assets that we manage and, in turn, increase our advisory fees. However, when we provide you with investment advice about whether to roll over retirement plan assets, we act as a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). As a fiduciary, we address any conflicts of interest in giving rollover recommendations by following the requirements of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 (“PTE 2020-02”), which means we must: ● Provide investment advice that meets a professional standard of prudence and care; ● Act in your best interest and never put our financial interests ahead of yours; ● Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments; ● Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure we give investment advice that is in your best interest; ● Receive not more than reasonable fees for our services; ● Give you clear information about material conflicts of interest; and ● Maintain rollover procedures subject to an annual review. We will only recommend a rollover when we believe, based on your individual circumstances, that it is in your best interest. You are under no obligation to act on our advice. 8  Item 5: Fees and Compensation Please note, unless a Client has received the Firm’s Disclosure Brochure at least 48 hours prior to signing the investment advisory contract, the investment advisory contract may be terminated by the Client within five (5) business days of signing the contract without incurring any advisory fees. How we are paid depends on the type of advisory service we are performing. Please review the fee and compensation information below. Investment Management Services Flat Fee Our standard Adviser flat fee is calculated as follows: Account Value Annual Advisory Fee Below $100,000 $900 Assets Under Management Fee Our standard Adviser assets under management fee is based on the market value of the assets under management and is calculated as follows: Account Value Annual Advisory Fee $100,000 - $500,000 0.90% $500,000 - $999,999 0.80% $1,000,000 - $2,499,999 0.70% $2,500,000 - $4,999,999 0.60% $5,000,000 - $9,999,999 0.50% $10,000,000 and Above 0.40% The annual fees are negotiable, pro-rated and paid in arrears on a quarterly basis. For assets under management fees, the advisory fee is a tiered fee and is calculated by assessing the percentage rates using the predefined levels of assets as shown in the above chart and applying the fee to the account value as of the last day of the quarter. NWWP retains the right to negotiate or waive fees on a client-by-client basis in the future, which may result in fees that fall outside of the typical fee ranges. Advisory fees are directly debited from Client accounts. Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be charged a pro-rated fee based on the amount of time remaining in the billing period. An account may be terminated with written notice at least 30 calendar days in advance. Since fees are paid in arrears, no refund will be needed upon termination of the account. 9  Other Types of Fees and Expenses Our fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses which may be incurred by the Client. Clients may incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, and other third parties such as 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 fund 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 we shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs. Item 12 further describes the factors that we consider in selecting or recommending broker-dealers for Client’s transactions and determining the reasonableness of their compensation (e.g., commissions). We do not accept compensation for the sale of securities or other investment products including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale of mutual funds. Selection of Other Advisers Clients who utilize a strategy managed by a third-party sub-adviser will pay the sub-adviser’s fee in addition to the advisory fee charged by our firm. Sub-adviser fees are separate from, and in addition to, our advisory fees and may be billed directly by the sub-adviser or deducted from the Client’s custodial account. Assets managed by a sub-adviser are included in the calculation of our advisory fee. Our advisory fee is determined according to the fee schedule described in the Investment Management Services section of this brochure. As a result, Clients who participate in a sub-advised strategy will pay both our advisory fee and the sub-advisor’s fee. In addition to our advisory fee and any sub-adviser fees, Clients may incur charges from custodians, broker- dealers, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and other third-party service providers. These fees are not included in our advisory fee and are paid by the Client. We do not receive any portion of the fees charged by sub-advisers or other third-party providers. Sub-advisers are selected based solely on the best interests of the Client, and Clients will receive all required disclosure documents for any sub-adviser that manages assets in their account. Sub-adviser fees may vary based on the specific investment strategy selected and related strategy features. For certain options-based strategies, sub-adviser fees may be calculated based on the notional size of option positions or synthetic loan exposure rather than the value of assets invested, and such fees may be charged on a periodic basis. Clients should refer to the applicable sub-adviser’s Form ADV Part 2A and the Client’s advisory agreement for additional information regarding specific fee arrangements, calculation methodologies, and billing practices. IRA Rollover Considerations As part of our investment advisory services, we may recommend that you move assets from your employer’s retirement plan to an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”) that we manage. If you choose to roll over assets to an IRA that we manage, we will charge an ongoing, asset-based advisory fee as described in your 10  advisory agreement. You are under no obligation to roll over your plan assets, and if you do, you are not required to have them managed by us. Under ERISA, our rollover recommendation may be considered a conflict of interest because the rollover would increase the amount of assets that we manage and, in turn, increase our advisory fees. To satisfy our ERISA fiduciary obligations and avoid a conflict of interest, we follow the requirements of PTE 2020-02. When deciding whether to roll over your retirement plan assets, you should carefully consider the following options that may be available to you: 1. Leave the assets in your current employer’s plan (if permitted). 2. Roll the assets over to a new employer’s plan (if you change jobs and a plan is available). 3. Take a cash distribution (which may result in taxes and penalties). 4. Roll the assets over into an IRA (with our firm or another financial institution). Each option has advantages and disadvantages which we can help you evaluate. In choosing an option, you might consider such factors as the fees and expenses associated with your employer’s retirement plan compared to those of a new employer plan or IRA; the investment choices available under a new plan or IRA; any services available under your employer’s plan compared to a new employer plan or IRA; available distribution and withdrawal features; the creditor protections of an employer-provided retirement plan versus an IRA; the tax treatment of a rollover or distribution; the effect of a rollover on required minimum distributions; and other factors that may apply to you. We encourage you to review these factors carefully and consult with your tax advisor or attorney before making a decision. Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By- Side Management We do not receive performance-based fees and do not engage in side-by-side management. Item 7: Types of Clients We provide investment management and financial planning services to individuals, high net-worth individuals and charitable organizations. We do not have a minimum size for Investment Management or Financial Planning Services. Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Our primary method of investment analysis is fundamental analysis. Fundamental analysis Fundamental analysis involves analyzing individual companies and their industry groups, such as a company’s financial statements, details regarding the company’s product line, the experience, and expertise of the company’s management, and the outlook for the company’s industry. The resulting data is used to 11  measure the true value of the company’s stock compared to the current market value. The risk of fundamental analysis is that the information obtained may be incorrect and the analysis may not provide an accurate estimate of earnings, which may be the basis for a stock’s value. If securities prices adjust rapidly to new information, utilizing fundamental analysis may not result in favorable performance. Passive Investment Management We primarily practice passive investment management. Passive investing involves building portfolios that are comprised of various distinct asset classes. The asset classes are weighted in a manner to achieve the desired relationship between correlation, risk, and return. Funds that passively capture the returns of the desired asset classes are placed in the portfolio. The funds that are used to build passive portfolios are typically index mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Passive investment management is characterized by low portfolio expenses (i.e. the funds inside the portfolio have low internal costs), minimal trading costs (due to infrequent trading activity), and relative tax efficiency (because the funds inside the portfolio are tax efficient and turnover inside the portfolio is minimal). In contrast, active management involves a single manager or managers who employ some method, strategy or technique to construct a portfolio that is intended to generate returns that are greater than the broader market or a designated benchmark. Material Risks Involved All investing strategies we offer involve risk and may result in a loss of your original investment which you should be prepared to bear. Many of these risks apply equally to stocks, bonds, commodities, and any other investment or security. Material risks associated with our investment strategies are listed below. ● Market Risk: Market risk involves the possibility that an investment’s current market value will fall because of a general market decline, reducing the value of the investment regardless of the operational success of the issuer’s operations or its financial condition. ● Strategy Risk: The Adviser’s investment strategies and/or investment techniques may not work as intended. ● Small and Medium Cap Company Risk: Securities of companies with small and medium market capitalizations are often more volatile and less liquid than investments in larger companies. Small and medium cap companies may face a greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility of the Client’s portfolio. ● Interest Rate Risk: Bond (fixed income) prices generally fall when interest rates rise, and the value may fall below par value or the principal investment. The opposite is also generally true: bond prices generally rise when interest rates fall. In general, fixed income securities with longer maturities are more sensitive to these price changes. Most other investments are also sensitive to the level and direction of interest rates. ● ESG Risk: Investing in Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) model strategies relies on third-party ESG research, data, and scoring methodologies provided by external providers. ESG screening may limit the number and type of investments available for selection, which can increase concentration risk and may result in portfolios that are less diversified than broad market portfolios. ESG scores and classifications reflect subjective judgments and can vary across providers for the same issuer, which introduces model-interpretation risk. 12  ESG data sets and sustainability metrics may evolve over time, and changes to underlying data, scoring methodologies, or sustainability frameworks may occur after investment decisions are implemented. ESG screening does not remove the risk of loss, including the risk of permanent loss of capital. Portfolios constructed using ESG models may perform differently than portfolios without ESG screening due to differences in investment selection, exclusions, sector exposure, and market conditions. Additional ESG-related risks are described in the disclosure documents of any engaged sub-adviser, including the sub-adviser’s Form ADV Part 2A, which will be provided to Clients prior to or at the time assets are allocated. Clients are encouraged to review these disclosures carefully. ● ESG Model Implementation Risk: Certain ESG model strategies offered through the firm are implemented by third-party sub-advisers that apply proprietary sustainability models and data frameworks. For example, the firm engages a sub-adviser to implement an ESG model strategy that incorporates sustainability priorities such as climate-related considerations, human rights factors, and corporate leadership and management characteristics. These sustainability priorities may be reflected in Client portfolios through exclusionary screens, inclusionary criteria, factor tilts, or a combination of such approaches. Once a Client’s account is allocated to an ESG model strategy, sustainability criteria are applied uniformly across all accounts allocated to that strategy and are not customized at the individual security-selection level for each Client. From time to time, including at portfolio rebalancing, the sub-adviser may adjust sustainability settings or implementation parameters due to updates in underlying data, changes to model methodologies, or efforts to maintain portfolio construction constraints such as estimated tracking error targets. As a result, portfolio holdings, sector exposure, and other characteristics may change over time, and ESG model portfolios may perform differently than non-ESG portfolios or benchmarks. ● Sub-Adviser Tax Strategy Risk: Certain sub-advised strategies may include tax-loss harvesting or tax-transition features implemented at the account level. These tax management techniques are applied solely to the assets managed by the sub-adviser and do not take into account a Client’s other accounts, holdings, or overall tax situation. Sub-advisers do not provide tax advice, and Clients are encouraged to consult with a qualified tax professional regarding the tax implications of any investment strategy. ● Options-Based Borrowing Strategy Risk: Certain investment strategies offered through the firm are designed to provide liquidity or financing exposure by structuring option positions intended to reflect the economic characteristics of a loan (commonly referred to as a “synthetic loan” or “box strategy”). These strategies do not involve the Client entering into a traditional loan arrangement and do not provide the legal rights, protections, or obligations associated with conventional borrowing. Options-based borrowing strategies involve the use of exchange-traded or over-the-counter derivatives and expose Clients to risks associated with options trading, including leverage, margin 13  requirements, counterparty risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, execution risk, interest-rate sensitivity, and regulatory risk. Due to the use of derivatives and leverage, losses associated with these strategies may exceed the amount of capital initially allocated to the strategy. The structure, availability, and effectiveness of options-based borrowing strategies may be impacted by market liquidity, changes in interest rates or volatility, broker-dealer or exchange rules, margin requirements, and regulatory developments. There can be no assurance that such strategies will achieve their intended economic outcome or that they will be more cost-effective or efficient than traditional borrowing alternatives. ● Options Strategy Implementation and Monitoring Risk: Options-based strategies are implemented and managed by third-party sub-advisers in accordance with predefined strategy parameters. Once a Client’s account is allocated to such a strategy, option positions are established and adjusted at the strategy level and are not customized to reflect the individual investment objectives, tax circumstances, or liquidity needs of each Client account. The firm remains responsible for evaluating the appropriateness of the strategy for each Client and for monitoring the ongoing suitability of the strategy over time. Sub-advisers engaged by the firm do not provide legal or tax advice in connection with options- based strategies. Clients are encouraged to consult their own legal and tax advisors regarding the implications of participating in such strategies. Risks Associated with Securities Apart from the general risks outlined above which apply to all types of investments, specific securities may have other risks. ● Common stocks may go up and down in price quite dramatically, and in the event of an issuer’s bankruptcy or restructuring could lose all value. A slower-growth or recessionary economic environment could have an adverse effect on the price of all stocks. ● Corporate Bonds are debt securities to borrow money. Generally, issuers pay investors periodic interest and repay the amount borrowed either periodically during the life of the security and/or at maturity. Alternatively, investors can purchase other debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, which do not pay current interest, but rather are priced at a discount from their face values and their values accrete over time to face value at maturity. The market prices of debt securities fluctuate depending on factors such as interest rates, credit quality, and maturity. In general, market prices of debt securities decline when interest rates rise and increase when interest rates fall. The longer the time to a bond’s maturity, the greater its interest rate risk. ● Municipal Bonds are debt obligations generally issued to obtain funds for various public purposes, including the construction of public facilities. Municipal bonds pay a lower rate of return than most other types of bonds. However, because of a municipal bond’s tax-favored status, investors should compare the relative after-tax return to the after-tax return of other bonds, depending on the investor’s tax bracket. Investing in municipal bonds carries the same general risks as investing in bonds in general. Those risks include interest rate risk, reinvestment risk, inflation risk, market risk, call or redemption risk, credit risk, and liquidity and valuation risk. ● Exchange Traded Funds prices may vary significantly from the Net Asset Value due to market conditions. Certain Exchange Traded Funds may not track underlying benchmarks as expected. ETFs 14  are also subject to the following risks: (i) an ETF’s shares may trade at a market price that is above or below their net asset value; (ii) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are de-listed from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally. The Adviser has no control over the risks taken by the underlying funds in which the Clients invest. ● Investment Companies Risk. When a Client invests in open-end mutual funds or ETFs, the Client indirectly bears its proportionate share of any fees and expenses payable directly by those funds. Therefore, the Client will incur higher expenses, many of which may be duplicative. In addition, the Client's overall portfolio may be affected by losses of an underlying fund and the level of risk arising from the investment practices of an underlying fund (such as the use of derivatives). Item 9: Disciplinary Information NWWP and its management have not been involved in legal or disciplinary events that are material to a Client’s or prospective Client’s evaluation of NWWP or the integrity of its management. Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations No NWWP employee is registered, or has an application pending to register, as a broker-dealer or a registered representative of a broker-dealer. No NWWP employee is registered, or has an application pending to register, as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator or a commodity trading adviser. Affiliated Entities NWWP is an indirect subsidiary of NerdWallet, Inc. which operates platforms that deliver guidance through educational content, tools and calculators, and product marketplaces so that consumers and small to medium sized businesses may learn about, compare, and shop for financial products online. NerdWallet or an affiliate may earn referral fees, lead generation fees, advertising revenue, or other compensation, if Clients we direct to NerdWallet or a NerdWallet affiliate for education or information or other resources transacts with the service providers on NerdWallet’s or such NerdWallet affiliate’s website. NerdWallet and its affiliates also market NWWP services to their users on the NerdWallet or NerdWallet affiliate websites to generate additional Clients for our services. This creates a conflict of interest, because our relationship with NerdWallet and its affiliates influences our decision to direct clients to NerdWallet's editorial content over third-party options, which benefits NerdWallet. NWWP is also under common control with NerdWallet Advisory LLC doing business as NerdWallet Advisors (“NerdWallet Advisory”), an SEC registered investment adviser and wholly-owned subsidiary of NerdWallet. NerdWallet Advisory operates an online platform called “Advisors Match,” which uses an algorithm to provide automated investment advisory services to users (“Users”) by referring or “matching” them with registered investment advisers or other matching services. 15  Daniel Ryan Sterling, CEO of NWWP, receives compensation from the sale of his book, You’re Making Other People Rich. The book is marketed at www.ryansterling.com. NWWP’s advisory clients may purchase a copy of Mr. Sterling’s book on the internet. James Timothy Bashall is a licensed accountant but does not provide accounting advice when advising NWWP clients. Clients are in no way required to utilize the services of any representative of NWWP in their capacity as an accountant. Recommendations or Selections of Other Investment Advisers We may recommend or select third-party investment advisers to manage all or a portion of a Client’s portfolio. These third-party advisers serve as sub-advisers to our firm and are not affiliated with us. Additional information regarding our use of sub-advisers, including our role in selecting and monitoring them, is provided in Item 4 of this brochure. Information regarding fees associated with sub-advised strategies is provided in Item 5, and material risks associated with such strategies are described in Item 8. Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading As a fiduciary, our firm and its associates have a duty of utmost good faith to act solely in the best interests of each Client. Our Clients entrust us with their funds and personal information, which in turn places a high standard on our conduct and integrity. Our fiduciary duty is a core aspect of our Code of Ethics and represents the expected basis of all of our dealings. The firm also accepts the obligation not only to comply with the mandates and requirements of all applicable laws and regulations but also to take responsibility to act in an ethical and professionally responsible manner in all professional services and activities. Additionally, NWWP requires adherence to its Insider Trading Policy, and the CFA Institute's Asset Manager Code of Professional Conduct and Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct. Code of Ethics Description This code does not attempt to identify all possible conflicts of interest, and literal compliance with each of its specific provisions will not shield associated persons from liability for personal trading or other conduct that violates a fiduciary duty to advisory Clients. A summary of the Code of Ethics' Principles is outlined below. ● Integrity - Associated persons shall offer and provide professional services with integrity. ● Objectivity - Associated persons shall be objective in providing professional services to Clients. ● Competence - Associated persons shall provide services to Clients competently and maintain the necessary knowledge and skill to continue to do so in those areas in which they are engaged. ● Fairness - Associated persons shall perform professional services in a manner that is fair and reasonable to Clients, principals, partners, and employers, and shall disclose conflict(s) of interest in providing such services. ● Confidentiality - Associated persons shall not disclose confidential Client information without the specific consent of the Client unless in response to proper legal process, or as required by law. 16  ● Professionalism - Associated persons' conduct in all matters shall reflect the credit of the profession. ● Diligence - Associated persons shall act diligently in providing professional services. We periodically review and amend our Code of Ethics to ensure that it remains current, and we require all firm access persons to attest to their understanding of and adherence to the Code of Ethics at least annually. Our firm will provide a copy of its Code of Ethics to any Client or prospective Client upon request. Investment Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest and Conflicts of Interest Neither our firm, its associates or any related person is authorized to recommend to a Client or effect a transaction for a Client, involving any security in which our firm or a related person has a material financial interest, such as in the capacity as an underwriter, adviser to the issuer, etc. Advisory Firm Purchase of Same Securities Recommended to Clients and Conflicts of Interest Our firm and its “related persons” may buy or sell securities similar to, or different from, those we recommend to Clients for their accounts. In an effort to reduce or eliminate certain conflicts of interest involving the Firm or personal trading, our policy may require that we restrict or prohibit associates’ transactions in specific reportable securities transactions. Any exceptions or trading pre-clearance must be approved by the firm principal in advance of the transaction in an account, and we maintain the required personal securities transaction records per regulation. Trading Securities At/Around the Same Time as Client’s Securities From time to time, our firm or its “related persons” may buy or sell securities for themselves at or around the same time as Clients. We will not trade non-mutual fund securities 5 days prior to the same security for Clients. Item 12: Brokerage Practices Custodian and Broker Selection NerdWallet Wealth Partners LLC (“NWWP”) does not serve as your broker or maintain custody of your assets that we manage. . Client assets must be maintained with a “qualified custodian,” generally a broker- dealer or bank. In certain instances, we recommend, but do not require that clients use the brokerage and custodial services of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) or Apex Clearing Corporation (“Apex”) (each referred to herein as “Broker/Custodian”), each a registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. While we may recommend that clients use Schwab or Apex as Broker/Custodian, clients ultimately decide whether to do so and open accounts directly with the Broker/Custodian by entering into account agreements with them. Conflicts of interest associated with this arrangement are described below and in Item 14 (Client Referrals and Other Compensation). Clients should consider these conflicts when selecting a Broker/Custodian because the services available through a particular custodian may differ from those available through other custodians. 17  How We Select Brokers/Custodians When recommending a broker-dealer or custodian, we seek to select firms that we believe provide high- quality custodial and execution services at competitive pricing. In evaluating Broker/Custodians, we consider a number of factors, including: ● ability to execute securities transactions ● access to investment products ● quality and reliability of custodial and trading services ● ability to facilitate transfers, wires, and other account services ● availability of technology, trading platforms, and operational tools ● pricing, commissions, and transaction costs ● reputation, financial strength, and stability ● service responsiveness and support In considering these factors, we seek to determine whether the Broker/Custodian can provide overall services and execution capabilities that are consistent with our duty to seek best execution for client transactions. Brokerage and Trading Costs Broker/Custodians generally do not charge separate custody fees but are compensated by charging commissions, markups or markdowns, transaction fees, or other charges on trades executed in client accounts. In some cases, Broker/Custodians may offer commission-free trading for certain securities, such as many U.S. exchange-listed equities and exchange-traded funds. Broker/Custodians may also earn revenue through other means, including interest earned on uninvested cash balances or payment for order flow. Clients should understand that transaction costs and other charges may vary depending on the Broker/Custodian used. Products and Services Available to Us from Broker/Custodians Broker/Custodians make available to us certain products and services that assist us in managing and administering client accounts. These services may include: trading and portfolio management technology ● custody of client assets ● execution of securities transactions ● access to investment products ● ● market data and pricing services ● account access systems and reporting tools ● software and technology that facilitate trading, account administration, and client reporting systems that allow us to bill advisory fees directly from client accounts These services generally benefit clients by facilitating the efficient management and administration of their accounts. Broker/Custodians may also make available certain services that benefit our firm but may not directly benefit client accounts. These services may include technology support, practice management resources, educational conferences or events, and other business support services. In some cases, Broker/Custodians may provide 18  these services directly or arrange for third-party vendors to provide them to us, sometimes at a discounted cost or without charge. The availability of these services creates a potential conflict of interest because it provides an incentive for us to recommend a Broker/Custodian based on the benefits received by our firm rather than solely on the services available to clients. We seek to manage this conflict by recommending Broker/Custodians based primarily on the scope, quality, and competitiveness of their custodial and execution services. NWWP does not participate in soft dollar arrangements and does not rely on the Section 28(e) safe harbor under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Trade Execution We do not aggregate client trades. In most cases, trades are executed through the Broker/Custodian where client accounts are maintained. While we do not maintain a wrap fee program, in certain circumstances we may recommend that clients engage a third-party sub-adviser that participates in a wrap fee program. In those cases, clients participating in such programs may pay different transaction costs than clients who do not participate in wrap fee arrangements. Item 13: Review of Accounts As part of our Investment Management Services, we monitor your accounts on an ongoing basis and review them at least annually to help ensure your investments and allocations remain aligned with your goals and objectives. Events that may trigger a special review would be unusual performance, addition or deletions of Client imposed restrictions, excessive draw-down, volatility in performance, or buy and sell decisions from the Firm or per Client’s needs. Clients will receive trade confirmations from the broker(s) for each transaction in their accounts as well as monthly or quarterly statements and annual tax reporting statements from their custodian showing all activity in the accounts, such as receipt of dividends and interest. NWWP will not provide written reports to investment advisory Clients. Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation NWWP compensates certain third parties, including affiliates and unaffiliated entities (collectively, “Promoters”), in connection with marketing, referral, or lead-generation arrangements. Under these arrangements, NWWP pays fees based on the referral of prospective client leads. Promoters are compensated for introducing NWWP to potential clients and not based on whether an individual ultimately enters into an advisory relationship with NWWP. Compensation is determined using 19  objective criteria, such as the provision of contact information or whether a prospective client meets certain asset thresholds, and may vary based on asset level or applicable pricing tiers. As discussed in Item 10, Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations, NWWP may refer or direct Clients to content or marketplaces hosted by its parent company, NerdWallet, Inc. or an affiliate that maintains content, tools, or marketplaces related to different financial products. NerdWallet and its affiliates may earn referral fees, lead generation fees, advertising revenue, or other compensation if a Client referred by NWWP transacts on their websites, but no direct fee or other compensation will be paid to us in connection with such referrals. Nevertheless, this creates a conflict of interest, as we may prioritize directing clients to NerdWallet’s resources over third-party options to benefit NerdWallet and its affiliates. NerdWallet and its affiliates also market NWWP services to their users on the NerdWallet and affiliate website to generate additional Clients for NWWP’s services. Economic Benefits from Broker/Custodians We receive an economic benefit from the broker-dealers and custodians we recommend, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) and Apex Clearing Corporation (“Apex”) (each referred to as “Broker/Custodian”). These Broker/Custodians make available to us certain products and services that support our advisory business and the management and administration of client accounts. These products and services are generally available to independent investment advisers whose clients maintain accounts at the Broker/Custodian and may include technology, trading platforms, operational support, market data, practice management resources, educational events, and other business support services. We benefit from these products and services because the cost of these services would otherwise be borne directly by us. As a result, the availability of these services creates a potential conflict of interest because it provides an incentive for us to recommend a Broker/Custodian based on the benefits received by our firm rather than solely on the services available to clients. Additional information about these products and services and the associated conflicts of interest is described in Item 12 (Brokerage Practices). Item 15: Custody Your independent qualified custodian will directly debit your account(s) for the payment of our advisory fees. Because our firm is authorized to deduct advisory fees from your account(s), we are deemed to have “limited custody” of client funds or securities. We do not, however, maintain physical custody of your assets. All funds and securities are held by qualified custodian. You will receive account statements directly from the qualified custodian(s) holding your assets, generally on at least a quarterly basis. These statements will reflect the deduction of our advisory fees from your account(s) each billing period. We encourage you to carefully review these statements for accuracy and to compare them with any reports you receive from us. 20  Item 16: Investment Discretion For those Client accounts where we provide Investment Management Services, we maintain discretion over Client accounts with respect to securities to be bought and sold and the amount of securities to be bought and sold. Investment discretion is explained to Clients in detail when an advisory relationship has commenced. At the start of the advisory relationship, the Client will execute a Limited Power of Attorney, which will grant our firm discretion over the account. Additionally, the discretionary relationship will be outlined in the advisory contract and signed by the Client. Item 17: Voting Client Securities We do not vote Client proxies. Therefore, Clients maintain exclusive responsibility for: (1) voting proxies, and (2) acting on corporate actions pertaining to the Client’s investment assets. The Client shall instruct the Client’s qualified custodian to forward to the Client copies of all proxies and shareholder communications relating to the Client’s investment assets. If the Client would like our opinion on a particular proxy vote, they may contact us at the number listed on the cover of this brochure. In most cases, you will receive proxy materials directly from the account custodian. However, in the event we were to receive any written or electronic proxy materials, we would forward them directly to you by mail, unless you have authorized our firm to contact you by electronic mail, in which case, we would forward you any electronic solicitation to vote proxies. Item 18: Financial Information Registered Investment Advisers are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial information or disclosures about our financial condition. We have no financial commitment that impairs our ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to Clients, and we have not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. We do not have custody of Client funds or securities or require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per Client six months in advance. 21
