Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Next Level Private LLC (“Next Level Private” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”)
under the laws of the State of Delaware. Next Level Private was founded in April 2021 and became a registered
investment advisor in August 2021. Next Level Private is primarily owned and operated by Barry P. Mitchell, Jr.
(Managing Principal).
This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory
services provided by Next Level Private. For information regarding this Disclosure Brochure, please contact
Catherine M. Bluvol (Chief Compliance Officer) at katebluvol@nxtprivate.com or (914) 431-5255.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Next Level Private offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, families, trusts,
estates, businesses, and retirement plans (each referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary,
the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. Next Level Private's fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics.
For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in
Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Investment Management Services
Next Level Private provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through
continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and
related advisory services. Next Level Private works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and
objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. Next Level Private
will then construct an investment portfolio, primarily consisting of diversified mutual funds, exchange-traded funds
(“ETFs”), individual stocks, and individual bonds to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also
utilize covered options, managed account programs offered by the Custodian and/or other types of investments, as
appropriate to meet the needs of the Client. The Advisor may retain other types of investments from the Client’s
legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as identified
between the Advisor and the Client.
Next Level Private’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell, or re-
allocate positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market
conditions. Next Level Private will construct, implement, and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals,
objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place
reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by
the Advisor.
Next Level Private evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal
due diligence process. Next Level Private may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to
diversify the portfolio. Next Level Private may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class
weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement.
Next Level Private may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting
capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or
overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet
Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
At no time will Next Level Private accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited
authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the
Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.

Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement
accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. The Advisor will educate a client regarding the possible alternatives
to taking a distribution from an ERISA retirement account. Such alternatives may include the rollover of the assets
to an IRA or a similar transaction including a rollover from one ERISA retirement to another, one IRA to another
IRA, or from one type of account to another (e.g. commission-based to fee-based account). Such a discussion
creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the
transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a retirement account to an account managed by the
Advisor.
Participant Account Management (Pontera)
As part of the Advisor’s Investment Management Services, when appropriate, the Advisor will use a third-party
platform, Pontera Solutions, Inc. (“Pontera”), to facilitate management of held away assets such as defined
contribution plan participant accounts, with investment discretion. The platform enables the Advisor to gain access
to the Client account without having access through the Client’s credentials. This independent advisor access
ensures that the Advisor will not have custody of Client funds or securities when implementing trades for the Client.
The Advisor is not affiliated with the platform in any way and receives no compensation from the platform. A link will
be provided to the Client allowing them to connect their account[s] to the platform for the Advisor’s secure access.
Financial Planning Services
Next Level Private will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients, pursuant to
a written financial planning agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation,
depending on their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal
financial plan or rendering a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This
planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment
planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance needs, and/or other areas of a
Client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.
Next Level Private may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney, or other specialists, as appropriate for their
unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the
Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the
Advisor may not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of
contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for
investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would
increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any
recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to
act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the
transaction through the Advisor.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Next Level Private provides 3(21) retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans (each a
“Plan”) and the company (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s 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. Services generally include:
• Vendor Analysis

• Plan Participant Enrollment and Education Tracking
• Performance Reporting
• Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
• ERISA 404(c) Assistance
These services are provided by Next Level Private serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2), the
Plan Sponsor is provided with a written description of Next Level Private’s fiduciary status, the specific services to
be rendered and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement.
Annuity Consulting
Next Level Private has a relationship with DPL Financial Partners, LLC (“DPL”). By working with DPL, Next Level
Private may provide annuity product reviews/analyses, education, and solutions in a mitigated conflict manner.
DPL is a third-party provider of a platform of insurance consultancy services to SEC & State-registered investment
advisers (“RIAs”) that have clients with a current or future need for insurance products such as annuities. Next
Level Private works with DPLs licensed insurance agents who are also registered representatives of The Leaders
Group, Inc. (“The Leaders Group”), an unaffiliated SEC-registered broker-dealer and FINRA member, to determine
which services might be appropriate for Next Level Private clients. These services include, among others,
providing analyses of the current methodology for evaluating client annuity needs, educating and acting as a
resource regarding annuity products generally, and specific annuity contracts owned by clients or that clients are
considering purchasing, and providing access to and product marketing support regarding fee-based products that
insurers have agreed to offer through DPL’s platform. For providing platform services to RIAs, DPL receives
service fees from the insurers that offer their fee-based products through the platform. These service fees are
based on the premiums received by the insurers. DPL is licensed as an insurance producer in Kentucky and other
jurisdictions where required to perform the platform services. Its representatives are also licensed as insurance
producers, appointed as insurance agents of the insurers offering their products through the platform, and
registered representatives of The Leaders Group.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Next Level Private to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into
one or more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the
Advisor and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – Next Level Private, in connection with the Client, will develop a
strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Next Level Private will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation, and tolerance for risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – Next Level Private will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the
stated goals and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – Next Level Private will provide investment management and
ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Next Level Private does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management
services are provided directly by Next Level Private.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, Next Level Private manages approximately$992,419,000 in discretionary assets and
$62,346,000 in non-discretionary assets for total assets under management of $1,054,765,000. Clients may

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into one more
written agreement with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly, at the end of each calendar quarter pursuant to the terms of the
investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the average daily market value of assets
under management during the quarter. Investment advisory fees range from 1.00% to 1.50% annually based on
several factors, including: the scope and complexity of the services to be provided; the level of assets to be managed;
and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific reporting requirements,
portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee. The Advisor may also offer certain Clients a
fixed quarterly fee.
The investment advisory fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the
end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into
consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by
Next Level Private will be independently valued by the Custodian. Next Level Private will conduct periodic reviews of
the Custodian’s valuations to ensure accurate billing.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and other
related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor
shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Financial Planning Services
Next Level Private offers financial planning services either on an hourly basis or a fixed engagement fee. Hourly fees
range up to $900 per hour. Fixed fee engagements are based on the expected number of hours to complete the
engagement at the Advisor’s hourly rate. Fees may be negotiable based on the nature and complexity of the services
to be provided and the overall relationship with the Advisor. An estimate for total hours and/or total costs will be
provided to the Client prior to engaging for these services. The Advisor’s minimum annual fee is $2,500.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual asset-based fee of up to 1.00% and are billed
pursuant to the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement. Retirement plan fees are based on the market value
of assets under management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Fees may be negotiable depending on the size
and complexity of the Plan.
Contributions to Charity
The Advisor seeks to have social and community impact in connection with its services. The Advisor will donate a
portion of its net profits to recognized, independent 501c-3 charitable organizations each year.
Annuity Consulting
Next Level Private receives an advisory fee for annuity contracts executed by clients through the DPL platform.
When the client signs a contract with an annuity provider recommended by DPL, DPL is considered the agent, and
Next Level Private is the IAR with discretion over the asset allocation within the annuity contract. Next Level
Private’s advisory fees are calculated based on the assets under management at the annuity provider multiplied by
the agreed upon annualized rate and is paid on a monthly or quarterly basis.
B. Fee Billing
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the
Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted from
Next Level Private LLC

Phone: (914) 431-5255 | Fax: (914) 431-5267
https://nxtprivate.com
Page 8
the Client’s account[s] following the end of each quarter. The amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate
(annual rate divided by the number of days in the year, multiplied by the number of days in the billing period) to the
average daily market value of assets under management with Next Level Private during the quarter. Clients will be
provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the investment advisory fee.
Clients are urged to also review the brokerage statement from the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform a
verification of fees. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Next Level Private
to be paid directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and
separate account forms provided by the Custodian.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning fees may be invoiced up to fifty percent (50%) of the expected total fee upon execution of the
financial planning agreement. The balance shall be invoiced upon completion of the agreed upon deliverable[s].
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement plan advisory fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the assets of the Plan,
depending on the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement. Fees may be billed in advance or arrears on either
a monthly or quarterly basis. Fees are typically based on the total market value of plan assets for the billing period.
Annuity Consulting
Next Level Private is paid by the annuity provider on a monthly or quarterly basis.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Next Level Private, in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and securities
execution fees charged by the Custodian, if applicable. The Advisor’s recommended Custodian typically does not
charge securities transaction fees for most ETF, mutual fund, and equity trades in a Client’s account[s], provided
that the account meets the terms and conditions of the Custodian’s brokerage requirements. However, the
Custodian may charge for options, private investments and other types of investments. The fees charged by Next
Level Private are separate and distinct from these custody and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to Next Level Private for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the
expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are
described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for
the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a
possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of Next Level
Private, but would not receive the services provided by Next Level Private which are designed, among other things,
to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial
situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees
charged by Next Level Private to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage
Practices for additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Investment Management Services
Next Level Private may be compensated for its investment management services at the end of the quarter; after
services are rendered. Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing
advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment advisory agreement within five
(5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will
incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and
payable by the Client. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the
Client’s prior consent.

Page 9
Financial Planning Services
Next Level Private may require an advance deposit for financial planning services. Either party may terminate the
financial planning agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also
terminate the financial planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost
to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the
point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Client shall be billed for
actual hours logged on the planning project times the contractual hourly rate or in the case of a fixed fee engagement,
the percentage of the engagement scope completed by the Advisor. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any
unearned, prepaid planning fees. The Client’s financial planning agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable
without the Client’s prior consent.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Next Level Private may be compensated for its retirement plan advisory services in advance or arrears of each billing
period. Either party may request to terminate a retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by providing
advance written notice to the other party. The Plan Sponsor may also terminate the retirement plan advisory
agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Plan. After the five-day
period, the Plan shall be responsible for retirement plan advisory fees up to and including the effective date of
termination. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid investment advisory fees from the
effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The retirement plan advisory agreement with the Advisor is
non-transferable without the Plan’s prior consent.
Annuity Consulting
The client may terminate the contract with the annuity provider or remove Next Level Private as the IAR at any
time. Next Level Private will be entitled to fees up to the date of termination
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Next Level Private does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for
securities transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Certain Advisory Persons are also licensed as independent insurance professionals. As an independent insurance
professional, an Advisory Person may earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products.
Insurance commissions earned by an Advisory Person are separate and in addition to the advisory fees charged by
Next Level Private. This practice presents a conflict of interest as there may be an incentive to recommend
insurance products to the Client for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on the Client’s
needs. Clients are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through one of
our Advisory Persons. Please also see Item 10 below.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Next Level Private does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged
by Next Level Private are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the
funds or securities held by any Client.
Next Level Private does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a
mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its
Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Next Level Private offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, families, trusts,
estates, businesses, and retirement plans. Next Level Private does not impose a minimum relationship size, or a
minimum annual fee for investment management services. For financial planning services a minimum fee of $2,500
is imposed. This minimum may be reduced at the sole discretion of the Advisor.

Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Next Level Private primarily employs a fundamental and technical analysis methods in developing investment
strategies for its Clients. Research and analysis from Next Level Private are derived from numerous sources,
including financial media companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company
activities, including annual reports, prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. This criteria
consists generally of ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being
analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment with
a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment,
it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in
the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors
these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the
Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in determining the
recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts to identify market patterns and
trends, which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. The primary risk
in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if
the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that Next Level Private will be able to accurately predict
such a reoccurrence.
As noted above, Next Level Private often employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with
their financial goals. Next Level Private will often hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year, but may
hold for shorter periods for tactical management, rebalancing and/or meeting the cash needs of the Client.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Next Level Private will assist Clients in determining an
appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no
guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the
investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may
lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to
determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are
included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client
or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals or
other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts.
The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction
process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies:

Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk
based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs has a large bid-
ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may
dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased
or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.
Bond ETFs
Bond ETFs are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e. the risk that bond prices
will fall if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to maturity, and the
coupon rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e. the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower rate
than was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e. the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at a rate
that exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk, i.e. the
risk associated with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the company defaulting on its
repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e. the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the
company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6) Liquidity
Risks, i.e. the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the bond.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the
mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual
fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same
price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Margin Borrowings
The use of short-term margin borrowings may result in certain additional risks to a Client. For example, if securities
pledged to brokers to secure a Client's margin accounts decline in value, the Client could be subject to a "margin
call", pursuant to which it must either deposit additional funds with the broker or be the subject of mandatory
liquidation of the pledged securities to compensate for the decline in value.
Options Contracts
Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of time. Option contracts
are leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single contract to control many shares of an underlying stock.
This leverage can compound gains or losses.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve
a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss
these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Next Level Private values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the
requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor
or Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov
by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 313247.

Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Insurance Agency Affiliations
As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are also licensed insurance professionals. Implementations of
insurance recommendations are separate and apart from an Advisory Person’s role with Next Level Private. As an
insurance professional, an Advisory Person may receive customary commissions and other related revenues from
the various insurance companies whose products are sold. Advisory Persons are not required to offer the products
of any particular insurance company. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset regular advisory
fees. There is a conflict of interest in recommending certain products of the insurance companies. Clients are under
no obligation to implement any recommendations made by an Advisory Person or the Advisor.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Next Level Private has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment
to each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with Next Level Private (“Supervised Persons”). The
Code was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to
each Client. Next Level Private and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith towards
each Client. It is the obligation of Next Level Private’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific
provisions of the Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics
that address employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at
(914) 431-5255.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Next Level Private allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. Next Level Private does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the
Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. Next Level Private does
not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Next Level Private allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients
presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and
procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public
information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When
trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The
fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more
advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is
mitigated by Next Level Private requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for
review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. The Advisor has also adopted written policies and
procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While Next Level Private allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be
recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or
traded afterwards. At no time will Next Level Private, or any Supervised Person of Next Level Private,
transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Next Level Private does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and
execution services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client
Next Level Private LLC
500 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 501, Harrison, New York 10528
Phone: (914) 431-5255 | Fax: (914) 431-5267

Page 13
assets and authorize Next Level Private to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment
advisory agreement. Further, Next Level Private does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions
on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where Next Level Private does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the
Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended
Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost associated with using a custodian not recommended by Next
Level Private. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is
not engaged. Next Level Private may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to,
reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, and its reputation
and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices. Next Level Private will generally recommend that Clients establish
their account[s] at Pershing Advisor Solutions, a division of Pershing, LLC (“Pershing”), a FINRA-registered broker-
dealer and member SIPC. Pershing will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian”. Next Level Private maintains an
institutional relationship with Pershing, whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits from Pershing (Please see
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation below). Following are additional details regarding the
brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor
enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and
other services. Next Level Private does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-
dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian. Please see Item 14
below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - Next Level Private does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection
with the recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where Next Level Private will
place trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client
accounts are traded within their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions
(i.e., trade of any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts
(i.e., purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). Next Level Private will not be
obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest
available transaction costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution,
4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. Next Level Private will execute its transactions through the
Custodian as authorized by the Client. Next Level Private may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when
securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading
day. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold
by the close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or
other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any
particular Clients’ accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Advisory Persons of the Advisor
and periodically by the CCO. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently
depending on the needs of the Client.

Phone: (914) 431-5255 | Fax: (914) 431-5267
https://nxtprivate.com
Page 14
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result
of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or
withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify Next Level Private if changes occur in the
Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews may
be triggered by material market, economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the
Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may also
provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by Next Level Private
Next Level Private may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g., attorneys, accountants,
estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients. Likewise, Next Level
Private may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
Next Level Private has established an institutional relationship with Pershing to assist the Advisor in managing Client
account[s]. Access to the Persing platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor. The Advisor receives access to
software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients
that maintain assets at Pershing. The software and related systems support may benefit the Advisor, but not its
Clients directly. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients
first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a Custodian creates a potential
conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's recommendation of this Custodian over one that
does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Financial Support - Next Level Private is incented to remain affiliated with Pershing and to recommend that Clients
establish accounts with Pershing due to financial support received from Pershing. Through the relationship with
Pershing, Next Level Private received initial support payment for technology, marketing and compliance consulting
related expenses at the signing of the engagement and will receive additional support based on a specific amount
of Client assets to be custodied with Pershing. The receipt of any such compensation creates a financial incentive
for Next Level Private to recommend Pershing the Custodian for the assets in your account. This conflict is
mitigated through disclosure and that Clients are not obligated to utilize Next Level Private’s recommended
Custodian. Additionally, as mentioned above, the Client may directly or indirectly receive other benefits through the
engagement with Pershing. We encourage you to discuss any such conflicts of interest with us before making a
decision to custody your assets at Pershing.
Educational and Marketing Support
Mutual Fund complexes and other providers may contribute to educational and marketing events sponsored by the
Advisor for Clients and prospective clients. The Advisor may receive financial support from these entities for such
events. The Advisor may also attend events or conferences sponsored by such providers. While attending such
events the Advisor may receive complimentary meals, travel, lodging, or entertainment. The items disclosed above
may pose a conflict of interest. However, the Advisor, in its fiduciary capacity, will not select investments based on
financial support provided directly or indirectly.

Page 15
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
Certain Clients may be referred to the Advisor by affiliated or unaffiliated individuals or other registered investment
advisors (herein each a "Promoter"). A Promoter will typically receive compensation for the successful referral of a
Client to the Advisor. Referral payments will typically be an ongoing payment which represents a portion of the fee
collected from the Client. The Advisor will compensate a Promoter in accordance with Rule 206(4)-1 of the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and any corresponding state securities requirements. The Advisor will only make
referral payments if allowable under these regulations. All referral compensation is paid solely from the advisory
fees earned and collected by the Advisor. The referral fee will not result in any increased or additional charge to the
Client.
Item 15 – Custody
Next Level Private does not accept or maintain custody of any Client accounts, except for the limited circumstances
outlined below:
Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction of
advisory fees, all Clients for whom Next Level Private exercises discretionary authority must hold their assets with a
"qualified custodian." Clients are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to safeguard their funds and
securities and must instruct Next Level Private to utilize that Custodian for securities transactions on their behalf.
Clients are encouraged to review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any reports provided by
Next Level Private to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For more information about
custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Money Movement Authorization - For instances where Clients authorize Next Level Private to move funds between
their accounts, Next Level Private and the Custodian have implemented safeguards to ensure that all money
movement activities are conducted strictly in accordance with the Client’s documented instructions.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Next Level Private generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in
Client accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may
be subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed
to by Next Level Private. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The
granting of such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory agreement
containing all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Next Level Private will be in
accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Next Level Private does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements
directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client
retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Next Level Private, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair
the ability of Next Level Private to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Next Level Private, nor any of its
Advisory Persons, have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Next Level Private is not required to
deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200
or more for services to be performed six months or more in the future.
