Item 4. Advisory Business
Noble Wealth Management, Inc. is a registered investment adviser based in Newport Beach, California.
We are organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of California. We have been providing
investment advisory services since 2014. Alan J. Schryer is our principal owner and Chief Compliance
Officer. Currently, we offer the following investment advisory services, which are personalized to each
individual client:
Investment Consulting and Portfolio Review Services
• Portfolio Management Services
• Financial Planning Services
•
• Pension Consulting Services
• Selection of Other Advisers
The following paragraphs describe our services and fees. Please refer to the description of each
investment advisory service listed below for information on how we tailor our advisory services to your
individual needs. As used in this brochure, the words "we", "our" and "us" refer to, and the words "you",
"your" and "client" refer to you as either a client or prospective client of our firm.
We are not a publicly held company and no part of us is owned by an individual or company through any
subsidiaries or “intermediate subsidiaries.”
Types of Advisory Services Offered
Portfolio Management Services
We offer discretionary portfolio management services. Our investment advice is tailored to meet our
clients' needs and investment objectives. If you retain our firm for portfolio management services, we will
meet with you to determine your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and other relevant information at
the beginning of our advisory relationship. We will use the information we gather to develop a strategy
that enables our firm to give you continuous and focused investment advice and/or to make investments
on your behalf. As part of our portfolio management services, we will determine to allocate your assets in
among various individual debt and/or equity securities and/or mutual funds in accordance with your
investment objective(s) using one or more of our own proprietary model portfolios, one or more of SEI's
proprietary model portfolios, a custom designed portfolio, or any combination thereof. Once we create or
select a model portfolio or third-party manager, we will monitor your portfolio's performance on an
ongoing basis, and have your portfolio rebalanced as required by changes in market conditions and in
your financial circumstances.
If you participate in a third-party program, a manager on the third party's platform will be appointed to
place trades in accordance with the strategy or model that the manager uses. In that regard, the manager
takes discretion over the investment decisions related to your account. This means that manager has the
discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be purchased or sold for your account(s) without
obtaining your consent or approval prior to each transaction. See Selection of Other Advisers below.
Financial Planning Services
We offer financial planning services which typically involve providing a variety of advisory services to
clients regarding the management of their financial resources based upon an analysis of their individual
needs. These services can range from broad, comprehensive, financial planning to consultative or single
subject planning. We also offer hourly financial consulting as well. If you retain our firm for financial
planning services, we will meet with you to gather information about your financial circumstances and
objectives. We may also use financial planning software to determine your current financial position and
to define and quantify your long-term goals and objectives. Once we specify those long-term objectives
(both financial and non-financial), we will develop shorter-term, targeted objectives. Once we review and
analyze the information you provide to our firm and the data derived from our financial planning software,
Form ADV Part 2A for NWM
Prepared by Connexien LLC
Page 5 of 24
ver. 07152025
we will deliver a written plan to you, designed to help you achieve your stated financial goals and
objectives.
Financial plans are based on your financial situation at the time we present the plan to you, and on the
financial information you provide to us. You must promptly notify our firm if your financial situation, goals,
objectives, or needs change.
You are under no obligation to act on our financial planning recommendations. Should you choose to act
on any of our recommendations, you are not obligated to implement the financial plan through any of our
other investment advisory services. Moreover, you may act on our recommendations by placing securities
transactions with any brokerage firm.
Investment Consulting and Portfolio Review Services
We provide non-discretionary portfolio review, asset allocation analysis, and investment
recommendations for assets not directly under the management of Noble Wealth Management. These
accounts could include participant directed plans, such as 401Ks and 403Bs, or other qualified plans, and
may also include assets invested with other custodians. After an initial review and analysis of each
account receiving this service, and depending on the specifics of each account, the services may include
specific investment recommendations, general advice and direction, allocation education and
consultation, and ongoing review and/or other services as agreed upon in writing by the advisor and the
client. The advisor is not responsible for implementing any recommendations for these services and will
not be involved in any way in the purchase or sale of any specific investments being recommended using
this service.
Pension Consulting Services
We offer pension consulting services to employee benefit plans and their fiduciaries based upon the
needs of the plan and the services requested by the plan sponsor or named fiduciary. In general, these
services may include an existing plan review and analysis, plan-level advice regarding fund selection and
investment options, education services to plan participants, investment performance monitoring, and/or
ongoing consulting. These pension consulting services will generally be non-discretionary and advisory in
nature. The ultimate decision to act on behalf of the plan shall remain with the plan sponsor or other
named fiduciary.
We may also assist with participant enrollment meetings and provide investment-related educational
seminars to plan participants on such topics as:
• Diversification
• Asset allocation
• Risk tolerance
• Time horizon
Our educational seminars may include other investment-related topics specific to the particular plan.
We may also provide additional types of pension consulting services to plans on an individually
negotiated basis. All services, whether discussed above or customized for the plan based upon
requirements from the plan fiduciaries (which may include additional plan-level or participant-level
services) shall be detailed in a written agreement and be consistent with the parameters set forth in the
plan documents.
Party to the pension consulting agreement may terminate the agreement upon written notice to the other
party in accordance with the terms of the agreement for services. The pension consulting fees will be
prorated for the quarter in which the termination notice is given, and any unearned fees will be refunded
to the client.

Retirement Plan Participant Account Management (Discretionary)
via Pontera® Held Away Accounts Service
In certain instances, NWM will provide an additional service for client’s held away accounts through the
third-party platform, Pontera Solutions, Inc. (“Pontera”). The accounts, such as defined contribution
retirement plan participant accounts, are not directly held in our custody (i.e., held away), but are ones
wherein NWM still has discretion, and may leverage an Order Management System to implement tax-
efficient asset location and opportunistic rebalancing strategies on behalf of the client. These are primarily
401(k) accounts, HSAs, and other assets NWM does not custody and cannot manage through its portfolio
management service. If NWM offers a client this service, and upon client’s consent, then a link will be
provided to the client allowing them to connect an account(s) to the platform. Once the client’s account(s)
are connected to the platform, NWM will review their current account allocations. Client account(s) will be
reviewed at least quarterly and allocation changes will be made as deemed necessary. NWM will
rebalance the account considering client investment goals and risk tolerance and any change in
allocations will consider current economic and market trends. The goal is to improve account
performance over time, minimize loss during difficult markets, and manage internal fees that harm
account performance. NWM may provide these services or, alternatively, may arrange for the Plan’s other
providers to offer these services, as agreed upon between our firm and the client. Clients are advised
that held away accounts, like defined contribution retirement plan accounts, may provide a limited choice
of investment options. NWM’s discretionary or non-discretionary services (as agreed upon with the client)
with respect to such accounts will be limited to the investment options made available under the held
away account.
NWM is not affiliated with Pontera in any way and receives no compensation from Pontera. See Item 5
below for details on any fees associated with the Pontera platform.
Acknowledgment of Fiduciary Status under ERISA
On occasion, NWM’s investment professionals may recommend rollovers to retirement plan participants,
including; (i) from an ERISA plan to another ERISA plan or to an IRA; (ii) from an IRA to another IRA; or
(iii) from one type of account to another, such as a commission-based account to a fee-based account.
In such cases, NWM’s investment professionals would be providing ERISA fiduciary advice when it
discusses specific investment products or advice with a client prior to the rollover, and the clients and
NWM’s investment professionals have a mutual understanding that NWM’s investment professionals will
be providing investment advice on a regular basis after the rollover.
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement
accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a
special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this
special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest

Selection of Other Advisers
As part of our investment advisory services, we may recommend that you use the services of a third-party
money manager ("MM") to manage all, or a portion of, your investment portfolio. After gathering
information about your financial situation and objectives, we will recommend that you engage a specific
MM or investment program. Factors that we take into consideration when making our recommendation(s)
include, but are not limited to, the following: the MM's performance, methods of analysis, fees, your
financial needs, investment goals, risk tolerance, and investment objectives. We will periodically monitor
the MM(s)' performance to ensure its management and investment style remains aligned with your
investment goals and objectives.
At present, we utilize SEI's Managed Accounts Program (the "Program"). To participate in the Program,
our firm, SEI Investment Management Corporation (hereinafter "SIMC") and the individual investor
executes a tri-party agreement (hereinafter, a "Managed Account Agreement") providing for the
management of certain investor assets in accordance with the terms thereof. Pursuant to a Managed
Accounts Agreement, the investor appoints our firm as its investment adviser to assist the investor in
selecting an asset allocation strategy, which would include the percentage of investor assets allocated to
designated portfolio of separate securities (each, a "Managed Account Portfolio") and may include the
percentage of assets allocated to a portfolio of mutual funds sponsored by SIMC or an affiliate thereof.
The investor appoints SIMC to manage the assets in each Managed Account Portfolio in accordance with
a strategy selected by the investor together with our firm. SIMC may delegate its responsibility for
selecting particular securities to one or more portfolio managers. The Program seeks to provide a globally
diversified portfolio in order to meet an investor's long-term goals. The MM takes discretion over the
investment decisions related to your account. This means that the MM has the discretion over the
selection and amount of securities to be purchased or sold for your account(s) without obtaining your
consent or approval prior to each transaction. By reason of the MM having discretion to make trades, and
our ability to hire and fire the MM if we believe it is in your best interests, we also effectively have
discretion over your account. You may specify investment objectives, guidelines, and/or impose certain
conditions or investment parameters for your account(s). For example, you may specify that the
investment in any particular stock or industry should not exceed specified percentages of the value of the
portfolio and/or restrictions or prohibitions of transactions in the securities of a specific industry or
security.
Before selecting other advisers, we will review the MM's registration status to ensure the MM is properly
licensed or registered as an investment adviser.
Wrap Fee Program
NWM does not participate in a wrap fee program at this time.
Assets under Management
As of December 31, 2024, the amount of client assets under advisement is calculated as follows:
Discretionary:
Non-discretionary:
Total
$ 204,851,051 (639 Accounts)
$ 8,036,342 (21 Accounts)
$ 212,887,393 (660 Accounts)
NWM’s method for computing the amount of “client assets you manage” is the same method for
computing “assets under management.” The amount as disclosed above is rounded to the nearest
$100,000. The date of the calculation above is not more than ninety (90) days before the date NWM last
updated its brochure.

Item 5. Fees and Compensation
Portfolio Management Services
Our fee for portfolio management services is negotiable and based on a percentage of your assets under
management or based on a flat fee arrangement. In either case, our fee will not exceed an effective rate
of 1.5% of your assets that we manage. Depending on the account size and nature of the investments
and portfolio management services, fees may be reduced at various price points. Certain legacy clients
may be billed under a different fee structure.
Our annual portfolio management fee is billed and payable quarterly and may be charged in advance or
in arrears according to the arrangements made at the inception of the engagement. The fee is based on
the value of your account on the last business day of the quarter prior to the quarterly billing date. For
example, for accounts with a billing date of April 1st, the billing date will be March 31st.
If the portfolio management agreement is executed at any time other than the first day of a quarter, fees
will apply on a pro rata basis, which means that the advisory fee is payable in proportion to the number of
days in the quarter for which you are a client.
At our discretion, we may combine the account values of family members living in the same household to
determine the applicable advisory fee. For example, we may combine account values for you and your
minor children, joint accounts with your spouse, and other types of related accounts. Combining account
values may increase the asset total, which may result in your paying a reduced advisory fee based on the
available breakpoints.
Termination of Account
Advisory fees will be deducted from client accounts held by the custodian or trustee if client grants
authorization to do so, in writing. You may terminate the portfolio management agreement upon written
notice to our firm. Such termination will be effective immediately upon receipt and acknowledgement of
receiving written notification of termination. Termination language may vary by mutual agreement. For
accounts that are billed in arrears, a pro rata charge for services rendered prior to the termination of the
portfolio management agreement will be applied, which means you will incur advisory fees only in
proportion to the number of days in the quarter for which you are a client. For accounts that are billed in
advance, a refund will be issued upon written request to reflect only the number of days that you were a
client of the firm.
If the portfolio management agreement is executed at any time other than the first day of the quarter, our
fees will apply on a pro rata basis, which means that the advisory fee is payable in proportion to the
number of days in the quarter for which you are a client. Our advisory fee is negotiable, depending on
individual client circumstances.
We encourage you to reconcile the statement(s) you receive from the qualified custodian. If you find any
inconsistent information on the statement(s) you receive from the qualified custodian please call our main
office number located on the cover page of this brochure.
Financial Planning Services
Due to the nature of financial planning, a fee may be quoted and agreed upon before the engagement
begins. The fee is negotiable and will be based on the complexity and scope of the engagement, the
specifics of the situation, and the financial objectives of the client. While the estimated number of hours
spent on a project is one component of the estimated fee, the value of our knowledge and experience is
also a component.
While there is no minimum fee, the range of the annual fees is typically between $2,500 to $10,000. Fees
are due upon execution of the Financial Planning Agreement. Annual fees may be paid in four equal
payments as we proceed through the financial planning process. This will typically be quarterly, but the
Form ADV Part 2A for NWM
Prepared by Connexien LLC
Page 9 of 24
ver. 07152025
timing could vary more or less depending on circumstances of the case. Fees may be paid 6 months in
advance, but not more often, and in no circumstances will we require prepayment of a fee more than six
months in advance and in excess of $1,200.
Once the initial financial planning process is complete, a reduced fee will be charged for ongoing advice
and service. This fee will be paid annually and will include an annual update and review, in addition to
other meetings that correspond to this service. The annual review will take no more than 6 months to
complete. The annual fee for the financial planning update and review can be negotiated but is typically
equal to the quarterly payment assessed during the financial planning process.
For example, if the annual fee for financial planning was $10,000, the client would have paid four equal
installments of $2,500. In this case, the annual, ongoing fee for the financial plan and review would be
$2,500. In certain situations where the complexity of a client's situation has changed materially, this fee
may be negotiated higher or lower. This annual fee may also be waived in part of in full for current
investment management clients.
The fee for hourly Financial Consulting is $350.
At our discretion, we may reduce or eliminate any aspect of the financial planning fee for any reason.
You may terminate the Financial Planning Agreement by providing written notice to our firm. You will incur
a pro rata charge for services rendered prior to the termination of the agreement.
Noble Wealth Management, Inc. hereby makes the following statement: a conflict exists between the
interests of Noble Wealth Management, Inc., and the interests of the client. Further, the client is under no
obligation to act upon Noble Wealth Management, Inc.'s recommendations, and if the client elects to act
on any of the recommendations, the client is under no obligation to effect the transactions through Noble
Wealth Management, Inc.
Investment Consulting and Portfolio Review Services
A negotiable flat fee will be charged for investments not directly under the management of Noble Wealth
Management. This fee is calculated annually and billed quarterly, in advance, and is based upon a
percentage of the assets being advised on. If the agreement is executed at any time other than the first
day of a quarter, fees will apply on a pro rata basis, which means that the advisory fee is payable in
proportion to the number of days in the quarter for which you are receiving this service.
This fee will not exceed 1.5%.
The client may agree to have the fee paid directly from their investment account or may pay by check or
by automatic bill pay through their custodian account, bank account, PayPal, or other institution.
If you choose to pay the fee by having us directly debit your account held by a broker-dealer, trustee, or
other custodian, you must provide written authorization for us to do so. NWM will send a copy of the
invoice to you, in addition to the statement that the custodian will send, showing all disbursements for the
custodian account, including the amount of the advisory fees.
You may terminate the Investment Consulting and Portfolio Review agreement upon written notice to our
firm. For accounts that are billed in advance, a refund will be issued upon written request to reflect only
the number of days that you were receiving this service.
Pension Consulting Services
Our advisory fees for these customized services will be negotiated with the plan sponsor or named
fiduciary on a case-by-case basis.
Form ADV Part 2A for NWM
Prepared by Connexien LLC
Page 10 of 24
ver. 07152025
You may terminate the pension consulting services agreement upon written notice to our firm. You will
incur a pro rata charge for services rendered prior to the termination of the agreement, which means you
will incur advisory fees only in proportion to the number of days in the quarter for which you are a client. If
you have pre-paid advisory fees that we have not yet earned, you will receive a prorated refund of those
fees.
Pontera® Held Away Accounts Service
As noted in Item 4 of this brochure, in certain instances, NWM will manage clients held away accounts
through the Pontera® platform. While there are fees associated with this platform, NWM feels that it is
important to note that these fees will be paid by NWM and as such will not result in the client paying
higher fees than if the assets were custodied with our recommended custodian.
NWM’s stated advisory fees will be assessed and billed quarterly. Specifically, the exact amount charged
is determined by the daily average over the course of the quarter. The current exception for this is directly
managed held-away accounts, which are determined by the account value at the end of the quarter. In
either case, if NWM only manages your assets for part of a quarter, the charge will be prorated. The
advisory fee is a blended 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 daily average of the account
value or the account value as of the last day of the previous quarter (per the paragraph above), resulting
in a combined weighted fee. For example, an account valued at $2,000,000 would pay an effective fee of
1% with the annual fee being $20,000 (a quarterly fee of $5,00). Investment management fees are
generally directly debited on a pro rata basis from client accounts. The exception for this is directly
managed held-away accounts, such as 401(k)’s. As it is impossible to directly debit the fees from these
accounts, those fees will be assigned to the client’s taxable accounts on a pro-rata basis. If the client
does not have a taxable account, those fees will be billed directly to the client. 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 15 calendar days
in advance. Since fees are paid in arrears, no rebate will be needed upon termination of the account.
Selection of Other Advisers
We do not charge you a separate fee for the selection of other advisers. We will include the assets being
managed by the MM in calculating our fee based on the schedule listed above under Portfolio
Management. The advisory fee you pay to the MM is established and payable in accordance with the
brochure provided by each MM to whom you are referred. These fees may or may not be negotiable.
You will be required to sign an agreement directly with the recommended MM(s). You may terminate your
advisory relationship with the MM according to the terms of your agreement with the MM. You should
review each MM's brochure for specific information on how you may terminate your advisory relationship
with the MM and how you may receive a refund, if applicable. You should contact the MM directly for
questions regarding your advisory agreement with the MM.
Additional Fees and Expenses
As part of our investment advisory services to you, we may invest, or recommend that you invest, in
mutual funds and exchange traded funds. The fees that you pay to our firm for investment advisory
services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds or exchange
traded funds (described in each fund's prospectus) to their shareholders. These fees will generally include
a management fee and other fund expenses. You will also incur transaction charges and/or brokerage
fees when purchasing or selling securities. These charges and fees are typically imposed by the broker-
dealer or custodian through whom your account transactions are executed. We do not share in any
portion of the brokerage fees/transaction charges imposed by the broker-dealer or custodian. To fully
understand the total cost you will incur, you should review all fees charged by mutual funds, exchange
traded funds, our firm, and others. For information on our brokerage practices, please refer to the
Brokerage Practices section of this brochure.

Compensation for the Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products
Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm are registered representatives with B.B.
Graham & Company, Inc. (CRD #41533), a securities broker-dealer, and a member of the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). In their
capacity as registered representatives, these persons could be entitled to receive commission-based
compensation in connection with the purchase and sale of securities, including 12b-1 fees for the sale of
investment company products. However, it is our policy that we will not accept any commissions or 12b-1
fees where you are also being charged an advisory fee. Compensation earned by these persons in their
capacities as registered representatives is separate and in addition to our advisory fees. This practice
presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm who are
registered representatives have an incentive to effect securities transactions for the purpose of generating
commissions rather than solely based on your needs. When appropriate, we may recommend the
purchase of "no-load" funds. You are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase
securities products through any person affiliated with our firm.
Fees charged to clients may be higher or lower than the aforementioned fees depending on the nature of
any pre-existing relationship, the complexity of the accounts, or terms and conditions of any outstanding
or pre-existing verbal or written agreement to which NWM is a party.
Clients are encouraged to carefully review Item 5 Fees and Compensation, Item 11 under
Participation/Interest in Client Transactions, and Item 12 Brokerage Practices for further details on all fees
charged to clients.
Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm are licensed as independent insurance agents.
These persons will earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including
insurance products they sell to you. Insurance commissions earned by these persons are separate and in
addition to our advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing
investment advice on behalf of our firm who are insurance agents have an incentive to recommend
insurance products to you for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on your
needs. You are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through
any person affiliated with our firm.
At our discretion, we may offset our advisory fees to the extent persons associated with our firm earn
commissions in their separate capacities as registered representatives and/or insurance agents.
All material conflicts of interest under CCR Section 260.238 (k) are disclosed regarding the investment
adviser, its representatives or any of its employees, which could be reasonably expected to impair the
rendering of unbiased and objective advice.
While the firm endeavors at all times to offer clients its specialized services at reasonable costs, the fees
charged by other advisers for comparable services may be lower than the fees charged by Noble Wealth
Management, Inc.
Item 6. Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
We do not accept performance-based fees or participate in side-by-side management. Performance-
based fees are fees that are based on a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of a client's account.
Side-by-side management refers to the practice of managing accounts that are charged performance-
based fees while at the same time managing accounts that are not charged performance-based fees. Our
fees are calculated as described in the Fees and Compensation section above and are not charged on
the basis of a share of capital gains upon, or capital appreciation of, the funds in your advisory account.

Item 7. Types of Clients
We offer investment advisory services to individuals (including high net worth individuals, trusts, and
estates), and pension and profit-sharing plans.
Requirement for Opening Accounts (Minimum Investment Amount)
In general, we require a minimum of $250,000 to open and maintain an advisory account. Accounts below
these minimums may be negotiable and accepted on an individual basis at our discretion. However, we
may from time to time establish, modify, and waive account or investment minimums for different
investment products and/or services. For example, we may waive the minimum if you appear to have
significant potential for increasing your assets under our management. We may also combine account
values for you and your minor children, joint accounts with your spouse, and other types of related
accounts to meet the stated minimum. Other exceptions may apply to employees of NWM and their
relatives, relatives of existing clients, and other arrangements if deemed acceptable by the firm. Also
please see Item 5 Fees and Compensation above for further details on investment minimums.
Item 8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
We will use one or more of the following methods of analysis or investment strategies when providing
investment advice to you:
Technical Analysis- involves studying past price patterns, trends, and interrelationships in the
financial markets to assess risk-adjusted performance and predict the direction of both the overall market
and specific securities. The risk of market timing based on technical analysis is that our analysis may not
accurately detect anomalies or predict future price movements. Current prices of securities may reflect all
information known about the security and day-to-day changes in market prices of securities may follow
random patterns and may not be predictable with any reliable degree of accuracy.
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 and its industry. The resulting
data is used to measure the true value of the company's stock compared to the current market value.
The risk of fundamental analysis is that 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.
Cyclical Analysis- a type of technical analysis that involves evaluating recurring price patterns and
trends. Economic/business cycles may not be predictable and may have many fluctuations between long
term expansions and contractions. The lengths of economic cycles may be difficult to predict with
accuracy and therefore the risk of cyclical analysis is the difficulty in predicting economic trends and
consequently the changing value of securities that would be affected by these changing trends.
As with most investment products, because investment portfolios include securities, investing in securities
involves risk of loss that you as our client should be prepared to bear.
In the event that we employ a frequent trading strategy for our clients, it is important to note that such a
strategy can have an effect on investment performance, particularly through increased brokerage and
other transaction costs and taxes.
We do not recommend any particular type of security as part of its overall investment advisory services.

Equity Risks
The material risks associated with these strategies are:
Equity Market Risk – Overall stock market risks may affect the value of the investments in equity
strategies. Factors such as U.S. economic growth and market conditions, interest rates, and political
events affect the equity markets.
Management Risk - Our judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a
particular asset class or individual security may be incorrect and there is no guarantee that individual
securities will perform as anticipated. The value of an individual security can be more volatile than the
market as a whole or our intrinsic value approach may fail to produce the intended results. Our estimate
of intrinsic value may be wrong or even if our estimate of intrinsic value is correct, it may take a long
period of time before the price and intrinsic value converge.
Small and Mid-Cap Company Risk – Investments in small and mid-cap companies may be riskier than
investments in larger, more established companies. The securities of these companies may trade less
frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. In addition, small and mid-cap
companies may be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes. Because smaller
companies may have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources, or may depend on a few key
employees, they may be more susceptible to particular economic events or competitive factors than larger
capitalization companies.
Short Sale Risk – Short sales are speculative transactions and involve special risks. In order to initiate a
short position, a security must be borrowed. Strategies that execute short sales may incur a loss if the
price of the security sold short increases in value between the date of the short sale and the date when
we purchase the security to replace the borrowed security. Losses are potentially unlimited in a short sale
transaction.
Fixed Income Risks
The material risks associated with this strategy are:
Fixed Income Market Risk – Fixed income securities increase or decrease in value based on changes in
interest rates. If rates increase, the value of fixed income securities generally declines. On the other hand,
if rates fall, the value of the fixed income securities generally increases.
Management Risk – Our judgments about the attractiveness, value, and potential appreciation of a
particular asset class or individual security may be incorrect and there is no guarantee that individual
securities will perform as anticipated. The value of an individual security can be more volatile than the
market as a whole, and our intrinsic value approach may fail to produce the intended results.
Credit Risk – There is a risk that issuers and counterparties will not make payments on the securities
they issue. In addition, the credit quality of securities may be lowered if an issuer’s financial condition
changes. Lower credit quality may lead to greater volatility in the price of a security which may affect
liquidity and our ability to sell the security.
Real Estate Risk – Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS), although not a direct investment in real
estate, are subject to the risks associated with investing in real estate. The value of these securities will
rise and fall in response to many factors including economic conditions, the demand for rental property
and changes in interest rates.
Structured Instrument Risk – Structured instruments may be less liquid than other debt securities, and
the price of structured instruments may be more volatile. Although structured instruments may be sold in
the form of a corporate debt obligation, they may not have some of the protection against counterparty
default that may be available with publicly traded debt securities.

ETF Risks
The material risks associated with this strategy are:
International Limitations- While the U.S. has a plethora of ETF products, some countries only have a
few exchange traded funds in which to invest. And those regions that do offer market ETFs, usually only
include large-cap products leaving a lack of mid and small-sized funds.
Low Trading Volumes- When ETFs have low trading volumes, the advantage of purchasing and ETF
over and index or equity diminishes. The bid-ask spread can be too wide to be cost-effective. Market
Makers tend to be tighter on securities that are more liquid (barring any unforeseen news or
circumstances).
Long Investment Horizon- The intraday trading opportunities created by ETFs may not fit into a long-
term investor’s strategy. This is more of an advantage for short-term ETF traders. So, as an investor, it
will be important to layout your investing goals before you decide how to include ETFs in your portfolio.
Inactivity- Some ETFs are not as actively traded as others. It can be a sector-related issue or even a
regional issue. When this situation occurs, it may be more effective to invest in managed fund where
activity is higher.
Tax Implications- In the case of foreign ETFs, sometimes there may be a tax advantage by opting to
invest in an international portfolio. Tax laws vary from country to country, so it may be beneficial for your
tax return to find other foreign investments.
There are many benefits to including ETFs in your portfolio, however it is important to understand that
they are not the ideal investment for every situation. ETFs should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis
for every investing strategy.
Commercial Paper- Commercial Paper (CP) is, in most cases, an unsecured promissory note that is
issued with a maturity of 270 days or less. Being unsecured the risk to the investor is that the issuer may
default. There is less risk in asset based commercial paper (ABCP). The difference between ABCP and
CP is that instead of being an unsecured promissory note representing an obligation of the issuing
company, ABCP is backed by securities. Therefore, the perceived quality of the ABCP depends on the
underlying securities.
Limited Partnerships- A limited partnership is a financial affiliation that includes at least one general
partner and a number of limited partners. The partnership invests in a venture, such as real estate
development or oil exploration, for financial gain. The general partner does not usually invest any capital
but has management authority and unlimited liability. That is, the general partner runs the business and,
in the event of bankruptcy, is responsible for all debts not paid or discharged. The limited partners have
no management authority and confine their participation to their capital investment. That is, limited
partners invest a certain amount of money and have nothing else to do with the business. However, their
liability is limited to the amount of the investment. In the worst-case scenario for a limited partner, he/she
loses what he/she invested. Profits are divided between general and limited partners according to an
arrangement formed at the creation of the partnership.
Item 9. Disciplinary Information
Disclosure Events
We are required to disclose the facts of any legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client's
evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our management. We do not have any disclosure
events involving a criminal or civil action in a domestic, foreign, or military court of competent jurisdiction;
an administrative proceeding before the SEC, or any other federal or state regulatory agency, or any
foreign financial regulatory authority; or a self-regulatory organization (SRO) proceeding.

Item 10. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
We do not have an application pending to register, as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool
operator, a commodity trading advisor, or an associated person of the foregoing entities.
We have not provided information on the following financial industry activities and affiliations because we
do not have any relationship or arrangement that is material to our advisory business or to our clients with
any of the types of entities listed below.
•
investment company or other pooled investment vehicle (including a mutual fund, closed-end
investment company, unit investment trust, private investment company or "hedge fund," and
offshore fund).
futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading advisor.
lawyer or law firm.
insurance company or agency.
real estate broker or dealer.
sponsor or syndicator of limited partnerships.
•
• banking or thrift institution.

•
• pension consultant.

Broker-Dealer Affiliation
Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm are registered representatives with B.B.
Graham & Company, Inc. (CRD #41533), a securities broker-dealer, and a member of the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). Other
than that, NWM has no other relationship or affiliation with any broker-dealer, municipal securities dealer,
or government securities dealer or broker.
Accounting Firm
NWM is affiliated with Noble Tax Specialists through common control and ownership. If you require
accounting services, we will recommend that you use Noble Tax Specialists. Our advisory services are
separate and distinct from the compensation paid to Noble Tax Specialists for their services. We do not
have signatory authority over any client's checking account.
Real Estate Agent/Broker
Alan J. Schryer is also a licensed real estate agent. If you require a real estate agent, we will recommend
Mr. Schryer to you. Mr. Schryer also manages rental property as a licensed real estate broker under TKS
Property Management and receives fees for such services. However, our advisory services are separate
and distinct from the compensation paid to Mr. Schryer for these services.
Mortgages/Reverse Mortgages
Alan J. Schryer is also licensed to originate mortgages and reverse mortgages. If you require a mortgage
or reverse mortgage, we will recommend Mr. Schryer to you. Although NWM’s advisory services are
generally separate and distinct from the compensation paid to Mr. Schryer for his services, in his capacity
as a loan broker, Mr. Schryer will earn a financing fee of One Percent (1%) of the principal amount of any
financing that 555 or McKinley arranges (see PRES 555 Main, LLC/555 Main Owner, LLC and PRES
McKinley, LLC/McKinley Commerce Owner, LLC below).
Private Real Estate Investment Companies
PRES 555 Main, LLC/555 Main Owner, LLC
PRES McKinley, LLC/McKinley Commerce Owner, LLC
Alan Schryer is a non-managing member of and owns 20% membership interest in PRES 555 Main, LLC
(“PRES”). PRES is the Managing Member of 555 Main Owner, LLC (“555”), a California Limited Liability
Form ADV Part 2A for NWM
Prepared by Connexien LLC
Page 16 of 24
ver. 07152025
Company limited liability company focused on real estate property offering membership interests on a
“best efforts” basis to qualified investors who meet the investor suitability standards. Mr. Schryer is also a
non-managing member of and owns 20% membership interest in PRES McKinley, LLC (“PRES”). PRES
is the Managing Member of McKinley Commerce Owner, LLC (“McKinley”), a California Limited Liability
Company limited liability company focused on real estate property offering similar membership interests
on a “best efforts” basis to qualified investors who meet the investor suitability standards. The proceeds
of each Offering will primarily be used to purchase, hold, manage, and operate each Property. As a result,
Mr. Schryer would benefit from investments made in 555 and/or McKinley whereby he is entitled to
receive a portion of the net profits for each offering on a pro-rata basis (based on the ownership interests
owned by the Members as compared to the total outstanding and issued Membership Interests).
Prospective investors and/or existing clients who may wish to invest in 555 and/or McKinley are
encouraged to review the specific offering and corresponding disclosure documents for further details.
As a registered representative of NWM, Mr. Schryer may make investment recommendations or offer
advisory and/or financial planning services for a fee which may or may not include solicitation of 555
and/or McKinley to NWM clients. This could present a potential conflict of interest as Mr. Schryer could
receive advisory fees AND a portion of the net profits on a pro-rata basis (as a Member of and owns 20%
membership interest in PRES 555 Main, LLC or PRES McKinley, LLC) if a client of NWM chooses to
implement recommendations made in his capacity as a registered investment adviser representative. Mr.
Schryer will earn a financing fee of One Percent (1%) of the principal amount of any financing that 555 or
McKinley arranges (see Mortgages/Reverse Mortgages section above for further details). However,
clients are under no obligation to purchase products that Mr. Schryer or NWM may recommend, or to
purchase products through Mr. Schryer or NWM.
The referral arrangements we have with our affiliated entities present a conflict of interest because we
may have a financial incentive to recommend our affiliates’ services. While we believe that compensation
charged by our affiliated entities is competitive, such compensation may be higher than fees charged by
other firms providing the same or similar services. You are under no obligation to use any of our affiliate's
services and may obtain comparable services and/or lower fees through other firms or individuals.
Recommendation of Other Advisers
We may recommend that you use a third-party adviser ("MM") based on your needs and suitability. We
will receive compensation from the MM for recommending that you use their services. These
compensation arrangements present a conflict of interest because we have a financial incentive to
recommend the services of the third-party adviser. You are not obligated, contractually or otherwise, to
use the services of any MM we recommend. Before selecting other advisers, we will review the MM's
registration status to ensure the MM is properly licensed or registered as an investment adviser.
Item 11. Code of Ethics, Participation/Interest in Client Transactions and Personal
Trading
Code of Ethics
Our Code of Ethics is designed to comply with Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
The Code is based upon the principle that we owe a fiduciary duty to clients to conduct their affairs,
including their personal securities transactions, in such a manner as to avoid (i) serving their own
personal interests ahead of clients, (ii) taking inappropriate advantage of their position with the firm, and
(iii) any actual or potential conflicts of interest or any abuse of their position of trust and responsibility.
The purpose of our Code of Ethics is to preclude activities which may lead to or give the appearance of
conflicts of interest, insider trading, and other forms of prohibited or unethical business conduct. As such,
we are prohibited from engaging in fraudulent, deceptive, or manipulative conduct. We have an
affirmative duty of utmost good faith to act solely in the best interest of our clients.
We have adopted the following Code of Ethics in accordance with SEC rule 204A-1:
Form ADV Part 2A for NWM
Prepared by Connexien LLC
Page 17 of 24
ver. 07152025
• Fiduciary Responsibility- we will exercise the highest standard of care in protecting and promoting
the interests of its clients and will provide a written disclosure containing any conflicts of interest
that may compromise their impartiality or independence.
Integrity- All professional services will have the highest level of integrity.
•
• Objectivity- we will provide advice that is objective and in the best interest of the client and without
conflicts of interest.
• Competence- we will maintain the necessary knowledge and skills to provide our clients with
competent advice and services.
• Fairness- All professional services will be performed by us in a manner that is fair and reasonable
to its clients.
• Confidentiality- we will maintain and safeguard all confidential client information in accordance with
applicable laws.
• Diligence- we will ensure the accuracy and completeness of records, information, and data
collected, used, and managed, and will take necessary steps to correct any discrepancies.
• Regulatory Compliance- we will comply fully with appropriate laws and internal regulations.
We will provide a complete copy of our Code of Ethics to any client or prospective client upon request.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
Neither our firm nor any persons associated with our firm has any material financial interest in client
transactions beyond the provision of investment advisory services as disclosed in this brochure.
Personal Trading Practices
Our firm or persons associated with our firm may buy or sell the same securities that we recommend to
you or securities in which you are already invested. A conflict of interest exists in such cases because we
have the ability to trade ahead of you and potentially receive more favorable prices than you will receive.
To mitigate this conflict of interest, it is our policy that neither our firm nor persons associated with our firm
shall have priority over your account in the purchase or sale of securities.
Item 12. Brokerage Practices
We maintain relationships with several broker-dealers, primarily Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. ("Schwab"),
and SEI Investments Management Corp. ("SEI"), but also B.B. Graham & Company, Inc., where some of
investment adviser representatives are also registered as registered representatives. While you are free
to choose any broker-dealer or other service provider as your custodian, we recommend that you
establish an account with a brokerage firm with which we have an existing relationship. Such
relationships may include benefits provided to our firm, including but not limited to market information and
administrative services that help our firm manage your account(s). We believe that the recommended
broker-dealers provide quality execution services for our clients at competitive prices. Price is not the sole
factor we consider in evaluating best execution. We also consider the quality of the brokerage services
provided by recommended broker-dealers, including the value of the firm's reputation, execution
capabilities, commission rates, and responsiveness to our clients and our firm. In recognition of the value
of the services recommended broker-dealers provide, you may pay higher commissions and/or trading
costs than those that may be available elsewhere.
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
We are not considered to have any soft dollar arrangements. However, see the disclosures below for
more information regarding our relationship with Schwab.
Form ADV Part 2A for NWM
Prepared by Connexien LLC
Page 18 of 24
ver. 07152025
Economic Benefits
As a registered investment adviser, we have access to the institutional platform of your account
custodian. As such, we will also have access to research products and services from your account
custodian and/or other brokerage firm. These products are in addition to any benefits or research we pay
for with soft dollars, and may include financial publications, information about particular companies and
industries, research software, and other products or services that provide lawful and appropriate
assistance to our firm in the performance of our investment decision-making responsibilities. Such
research products and services are provided to all investment advisers that utilize the institutional
services platforms of these firms and are not considered to be paid for with soft dollars. However, you
should be aware that the commissions charged by a particular broker for a particular transaction or set of
transactions may be greater than the amounts another broker who did not provide research services or
products might charge.
Schwab - Your Custody and Brokerage Costs
For our clients' accounts it maintains, Schwab generally does not charge you separately for custody
services but is compensated by charging you commissions or other fees on trades that it executes or that
settle into your Schwab account. For some accounts, Schwab may charge you a percentage of the dollar
amount of assets in the account in lieu of commissions. Schwab's commission rates and/or asset-based
fees applicable to our client accounts were negotiated based on our commitment to maintain at least
some minimum amount of our clients' assets in accounts at Schwab. This commitment benefits you
because the overall commission rates and/or asset-based fees you pay are lower than they would be if
we had not made the commitment. In addition to commission rates and/or asset-based fees Schwab
charges you a flat dollar amount as a "prime broker" or "trade away" fee for each trade that we have
executed by a different broker-dealer but where the securities bought or the funds from the securities sold
are deposited (settled) into your Schwab account. These fees are in addition to the commissions or other
compensation you pay the executing broker-dealer. Because of this, in order to minimize your trading
costs, we have Schwab execute most trades for your account.
Schwab Advisor Services
Schwab Advisor Services (formerly called Schwab Institutional) is Schwab's business serving
independent investment advisory firms like us. They provide us and our clients with access to its
institutional brokerage - trading, custody, reporting, and related services - many of which are not typically
available to Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes available various support services.
Some of those services help us manage or administer our clients' accounts while others help us
manage and grow our business. Schwab's support services are generally available on an
unsolicited basis (we do not have to request them) and at no charge to us as long as we keep a total of at
least $10 million of our clients' assets in accounts at Schwab. If we have less than $10 million in client
assets at Schwab, it may charge us quarterly service fees. Following is a more detailed description of
Schwab's support services:
Services that Benefit You
Schwab's institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products,
execution of securities transactions, and custody of client assets. The investment products available
through Schwab include some to which we might not otherwise have access or that would require a
significantly higher minimum initial investment by our clients. Schwab's services described in this
paragraph generally benefit you and your account.
Services that May Not Directly Benefit You
Schwab also makes available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not directly
benefit you or your account. These products and services assist us in managing and administering our
clients' accounts. They include investment research, both Schwab's own and that of third parties. We may
use this research to service all or some substantial number of our clients' accounts, including accounts
Form ADV Part 2A for NWM
Prepared by Connexien LLC
Page 19 of 24
ver. 07152025
not maintained at Schwab. In addition to investment research, Schwab also makes available software and
other technology that:
• provide access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account
statements);
facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts;
facilitate payment of our fees from our clients' accounts; and
•
• provide pricing and other market data;
•
• assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting.
Services that Generally Benefit Only Us
Schwab also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business
enterprise. These services include:
technology, compliance, legal, and business consulting;
• educational conferences and events;
•
• publications and conferences on practice management and business succession;
• access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants and insurance providers
Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party vendors to
provide the services to us. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for some of these services or pay
all or a part of a third party's fees. Schwab may also provide us with other benefits such as occasional
business entertainment of our personnel.
Our Interest in Schwab's Services
The availability of these services from Schwab benefits us because we do not have to produce or
purchase them. We do not have to pay for Schwab's services so long as we keep a total of at least $10
million of client assets in accounts at Schwab. Beyond that, these services are not contingent upon us
committing any specific amount of business to Schwab in trading commissions or assets in custody. The
$10 million minimum may give us an incentive to recommend that you maintain your account with Schwab
based on our interest in receiving Schwab's services that benefit our business rather than based on your
interest in receiving the best value in custody services and the most favorable execution of your
transactions. This is a potential conflict of interest. We believe, however, that our selection of Schwab as
custodian and broker is in the best interests of our clients. It is primarily supported by the scope, quality,
and price of Schwab's services (based on the factors discussed above - see "The Custodian and Broker
We Use") and not Schwab's services that benefit only us. We do not believe that maintaining at least $10
million of assets under management at Schwab in order to avoid paying Schwab quarterly service fees
presents a material conflict of interest.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
We do not receive client referrals from broker-dealers in exchange for cash or other compensation, such
as brokerage services or research.
Directed Brokerage
Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm who are registered representatives of B.B.
Graham & Company, Inc. ("B.B. Graham") are subject to applicable rules that generally restrict them from
conducting securities transactions away from B.B. Graham unless B.B. Graham provides the
representative with written authorization to do so. In our case, B.B. Graham has given such authorization.
Therefore, while these individuals would otherwise generally be limited to conducting securities
transactions through B.B. Graham, they will, instead, recommend Schwab, or SEI as appropriate. It may
be the case that Schwab, SEI, or B.B. Graham will charge higher transactions costs and/or custodial fees
than another broker charges for the same types of services. If transactions are executed though B.B.
Graham, individuals who are registered as registered representatives with B.B. Graham may earn
Form ADV Part 2A for NWM
Prepared by Connexien LLC
Page 20 of 24
ver. 07152025
commission-based compensation as result of placing the recommended securities transactions through
B.B. Graham. This practice presents a conflict of interest because these registered representatives have
an incentive to effect securities transactions for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely
based on your needs. You may utilize the broker-dealer of your choice and have no obligation to
purchase or sell securities through such broker as we recommend. However, if you do not use a
brokerage firm or custodian we recommend we may not be able to accept your account. See the Fees
and Compensation section in this brochure for more information on the compensation received by
registered representatives who are affiliated with our firm.
In limited circumstances, and at our discretion, some clients may instruct our firm to use one or more
particular brokers other than the ones we have relationships with for the transactions in their accounts. If
you choose to direct our firm to use a particular broker, you should understand that this might prevent our
firm from effectively negotiating brokerage commissions on your behalf. This practice may also prevent
our firm from obtaining favorable net price and execution. Thus, when directing brokerage business, you
should consider whether the commission expenses, execution, clearance, and settlement capabilities that
you will obtain through your broker are adequately favorable in comparison to those that we would
otherwise obtain for you.
Block Trades
We do not combine multiple orders for shares of the same securities purchased for advisory accounts we
manage (the practice of combining multiple orders for shares of the same securities is commonly referred
to as "block trading"). Accordingly, you may pay different prices for the same securities transactions than
other clients pay. Furthermore, we may not be able to buy and sell the same quantities of securities for
you and you may pay higher commissions, fees, and/or transaction costs than other clients.
Item 13. Review of Accounts
Your Investment Advisor Representative will monitor your accounts on a periodic basis and will conduct
formal account reviews at least annually. The reviews are designed to ensure the advisory services
provided to you and that the portfolio mix is consistent with your stated investment needs and objectives.
Additional reviews may be conducted based on various circumstances, including, but not limited to:
security specific events, and/or
changes in your risk/return objectives.
contributions and withdrawals,
•
•
year-end tax planning
• market moving events,
•
•
We will provide you with additional or regular written reports in conjunction with account reviews. The
nature and frequency of reports are determined by client need and the services offered. Overall
investment management, market prospects and individual issue prospects are considered in the review
process. Triggering factors that may affect an account review could be any material change in a client’s
account such as a change in company earnings, industry/company outlook as well as other economic
factors. Reports we provide to you will contain relevant account and/or market-related information such
as an inventory of account holdings and account performance. You will receive trade confirmations and
monthly or quarterly statements from your account custodian(s).
Your Investment Advisor Representative will review your financial plan periodically or upon your request.
The reviews are designed to ensure that the planning advice and/or asset allocation recommendations
made to you are consistent with your stated investment needs and objectives. We will not provide regular
written reports to you for financial planning and consulting services. If you implement financial planning
advice through Noble Wealth Management, Inc., you will receive trade confirmations and monthly or
quarterly statements from relevant custodians.

Item 14. Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc - Institutional
In addition, we receive an economic benefit from Schwab in the form of the support products and services
it makes available to us and other independent investment advisors whose clients maintain their accounts
at Schwab. These products and services, how they benefit us, and the related conflicts of interest are
described above (see Item 12 - Brokerage Practices ). The availability to us of Schwab's products and
services is not based on us giving particular investment advice, such as buying particular securities for
our clients.
As disclosed under the Fees and Compensation section in this brochure, persons providing investment
advice on behalf of our firm are licensed insurance agents, and are registered representatives with B.B.
Graham Securities Inc., a securities broker-dealer, and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (“FINRA”) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). For information on the
conflicts of interest this presents, and how we address these conflicts, refer to the Fees and
Compensation section.
We do not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with providing investment advice
to you, nor do we or any related person, directly or indirectly, compensate any person that is not
an employee for client referrals.
Refer to the Brokerage Practices section above for disclosures on research and other benefits we may
receive resulting from our relationship with your account custodian.
Item 15. Custody
We do not maintain custody of your client funds and/or securities. As paying agent for our firm, your
independent custodian will directly debit your account(s) for the payment of our advisory fees. This ability
to deduct our advisory fees from your accounts causes our firm to exercise limited custody over your
funds or securities. We do not have physical custody of any of your funds and/or securities. Your funds
and securities will be held with a bank, broker-dealer, or other independent, qualified custodian. You will
receive account statements from the independent, qualified custodian(s) holding your funds and
securities at least quarterly. The account statements from your custodian(s) will indicate the amount of
our advisory fees deducted from your account(s) each billing period. You should carefully review account
statements for accuracy. We will also provide statements to you reflecting the amount of advisory fee
deducted from your account. You should compare our statements with the statements from your account
custodian(s) to reconcile the information reflected on each statement. If you have a question regarding
your account statement, or if you did not receive a statement from your custodian, please contact us
immediately at the telephone number on the cover page of this brochure.
Item 16. Investment Discretion
Unless a client requests otherwise in writing, most typically on a "Non-Discretionary" Asset Management
Agreement, the advisor is expressly authorized to make trades on a client’s behalf in accordance with the
agreed allocation and goals and objectives of the client. In addition, if you participate in a third-party
program a MM on the third party's platform will be appointed to place trades in accordance with the
strategy or model that the MM uses. In that regard, the MM takes discretion over the investment decisions
related to your account. This means that the MM has the discretion over the selection and amount of
securities to be purchased or sold for your account(s) without obtaining your consent or approval prior to
each transaction. The relationship between you, the third-party program sponsor, the MM, and us will be
governed by a separate client agreement that you execute directly with the third-party program sponsor.
The separate agreement will not become effective until it is accepted by the third party. By reason of the
manager having discretion to make trades, and our ability to hire and fire the manager if we believe it is in
your best interests, we also effectively have discretion over your account. You may specify investment

objectives, guidelines, and/or impose certain conditions or investment parameters for your account(s). For
example, you may specify that the investment in any particular stock or industry should not exceed
specified percentages of the value of the portfolio and/or restrictions or prohibitions of transactions in the
securities of a specific industry or security. See the Advisory Business section above for more
information.
Item 17. Voting Client Securities
We generally will not vote proxies on behalf of your advisory accounts. However, in certain cases where
previously contracted, we may, if authorized by the client, receive solicitations to vote proxies with respect
to securities held on behalf of the client’s accounts. In those cases, we seek to vote client proxies in a
manner consistent with sound corporate governance that is designed to maximize shareholder value. On
a going forward basis, we will determine whether to vote client proxies on a case-by-case basis based on
the request of the client. Clients who wish us to vote their shares in a certain manner, on a particular
proxy item, should contact us or their specific advisory representative at the number provided on the
cover page. At your request, we may offer you advice regarding corporate actions and the exercise of
your proxy voting rights. If you own shares of applicable securities, you are responsible for exercising
your right to vote as a shareholder.
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 any electronic solicitation to vote proxies.
For portfolios subject to ERISA, responsibility for proxy voting will be determined by the plan document. If
an account is managed by a money manager/sub adviser, the sub adviser will retain voting authority for
that account.
Item 18. Financial Information
We are not required to provide a balance sheet or other financial information to our clients because we do
not require the prepayment of fees in excess of $1,200 and six months or more in advance; we do not
take custody of client funds or securities; and, we do not have a financial condition that is reasonably
likely to impair our ability to meet our commitments to you. Moreover, we have never been the subject of
a bankruptcy petition.
