Item 4: Advisory Business
Firm Description
NRI Wealth Management, LLC (hereinafter “NRI”) is a Limited Liability Company organized
in the State of California. This firm was formed in February of 2012, and the principal owner
is Laddi Jhuty.
Types of Advisory Services
ASSET MANAGEMENT
NRI offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals, objectives,
time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. NRI creates an Investment Policy Statement
for each client, which outlines the client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk
tolerance levels) and then constructs a plan (the Investment Policy Statement) to aid in the
selection of a portfolio that matches each client’s specific situation. Asset Management
services include, but are not limited to, the following:
Investment strategy
Asset allocation
Risk tolerance
Personal investment policy
Asset selection
Regular portfolio monitoring
NRI evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance
levels and time horizon. NRI will request discretionary authority from clients in order to
select securities and execute transactions without permission from the client prior to each
transaction. Risk tolerance levels are documented in the Investment Policy Statement, which
is given to each client.
ERISA PLAN SERVICES
NRI provides service to qualified retirement plans including 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans,
pension and profit sharing plans, cash balance plans, and deferred compensation plans. NRI
may act as 3(38) advisor:
ERISA 3(38) Investment Manager. NRI can also act as an ERISA 3(38) Investment Manager
in which it has discretionary management and control of a given retirement plan’s assets.
NRI would then become solely responsible and liable for the selection, monitoring and
replacement of the plan’s investment options.
1. Fiduciary Services are:
NRI has discretionary authority and will make the final decision regarding the initial
selection, retention, removal and addition of investment options in accordance with
the Plan’s investment policies and objectives.
Assist the Client with the selection of a broad range of investment options consistent
with ERISA Section 404(c) and the regulations thereunder.
Assist the Client in the development of an investment policy statement (“IPS”). The
IPS establishes the investment policies and objectives for the Plan.
Provide discretionary investment advice to the Plan Sponsor with respect to the
selection of a qualified default investment alternative for participants who are
automatically enrolled in the Plan or who have otherwise failed to make investment
elections. The Client retains the sole responsibility to provide all notices to the Plan
participants required under ERISA Section 404(c) (5).
- 6 -
2. Non-fiduciary Services are:
Assist in the education of Plan participants about general investment information
and the investment alternatives available to them under the Plan. Client understands
the NRI’s assistance in education of the Plan participants shall be consistent with and
within the scope of the Department of Labor’s definition of investment education
(Department of Labor Interpretive Bulletin 96-1). As such, the NRI is not providing
fiduciary advice as defined by ERISA to the Plan participants. NRI will not provide
investment advice concerning the prudence of any investment option or combination
of investment options for a particular participant or beneficiary under the Plan.
Assist in the group enrollment meetings designed to increase retirement plan
participation among the employees and investment and financial understanding by
the employees.
NRI may provide these services or, alternatively, may arrange for the Plan’s other providers
to offer these services, as agreed upon between NRI and Client.
3. NRI has no responsibility to provide services related to the following types of assets
(“Excluded Assets”):
Stock brokerage accounts or mutual fund windows;
Employer securities;
Real estate (except for real estate funds or publicly traded REITs);
Participant loans;
Non-publicly traded partnership interests;
Other non-publicly traded securities or property (other than collective trusts and
similar vehicles); or
Other hard-to-value or illiquid securities or property.
Excluded Assets will not be included in calculation of Fees paid to the Adviser on the ERISA
Agreement. Specific services will be outlined in detail to each plan in the 408(b)2 disclosure.
FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTING
Financial planning services include a comprehensive evaluation of an investor's current and
future financial state and will be provided by using currently known variables to predict
future cash flows, asset values and withdrawal plans. NRI will use current net worth, tax
liabilities, asset allocation, and future retirement and estate plans in developing financial
plans.
Typical topics reviewed in a financial plan may include but are not limited to:
• Financial goals: Based on an individual's or a family's clearly defined financial goals,
including funding a college education for the children, buying a larger home, starting
a business, retiring on time or leaving a legacy. Financial goals should be quantified
and set to milestones for tracking.
• Personal net worth statement: A snapshot of assets and liabilities serves as a
benchmark for measuring progress towards financial goals.
• Cash flow analysis: An income and spending plan determines how much can be set
aside for debt repayment, savings and investing each month.
- 7 -
• Retirement strategy: A strategy for achieving retirement independent of other
financial priorities. Including a strategy for accumulating the required retirement
capital and its planned lifetime distribution.
• Comprehensive risk management plan: Identify all risk exposures and provide the
necessary coverage to protect the family and its assets against financial loss. The risk
management plan includes a full review of life and disability insurance, personal
liability coverage, property and casualty coverage, and catastrophic coverage.
• Long-term investment plan: Include a customized asset allocation strategy based
on specific investment objectives and a risk profile. This investment plan sets
guidelines for selecting, buying and selling investments and establishing benchmarks
for performance review.
• Tax reduction strategy: Identify ways to minimize taxes on personal income to the
extent permissible by the tax code. The strategy should include identification of tax-
favored investment vehicles that can reduce taxation of investment income.
• Estate preservation: Help update accounts, review beneficiaries for retirement
accounts and life insurance, provide a second look at your current estate planning
documents, and prompt you to update your plan when the legal environment changes
or you have major life events such as a marriage, death, or births.
If a conflict of interest exists between the interests of NRI and the interests of the Client, the
Client is under no obligation to act upon NRI’s recommendation. If the Client elects to act on
any of the recommendations, the Client is under no obligation to effect the transaction
through NRI. Financial plans will be completed and delivered inside of ninety (90) days
contingent upon timely delivery of all required documentation.
Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
NRI offers the same suite of services to all of its clients. However, specific client financial
plans and their implementation are dependent upon the client Investment Policy Statement
which outlines each client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels)
and is used to construct a client specific plan to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches
restrictions, needs, and targets.
Clients may impose restrictions in investing in certain securities or types of securities in
accordance with their values or beliefs. However, if the restrictions prevent NRI from
properly servicing the client account, or if the restrictions would require NRI to deviate from
its standard suite of services, NRI reserves the right to end the relationship
Agreements may not be assigned without written Client consent.
Wrap Fee Programs
NRI does not sponsor any wrap fee programs.
Client Assets under Management
NRI has the following assets under management:

These fees are negotiable depending upon the needs of the client and complexity of the
situation, and the final fee schedule is included on the Investment Advisory Contract.
Depending on the client contract, fees are paid monthly, quarterly or annually in arrears.
Clients may terminate their contracts with thirty days’ written notice. Because fees are
charged in arrears, no refund policy is necessary. Clients may terminate their accounts
without penalty within 5 business days of signing the advisory contract. Advisory fees are
withdrawn directly from the client’s accounts with client written authorization. Lower fees
for comparable services may be available from other sources. For accounts opened or closed
mid-billing period, fees will be prorated based on the days services are provided during the
given period. All unpaid earned fees will be due to NRI
ERISA PLAN SERVICES
The minimum annual fee of $2,500 or 1% of assets under management for all new clients.
These fees are negotiable depending upon the needs of the client and complexity of the
situation, and the final fee schedule is included on the Investment Advisory Contract. Fees
may be charged quarterly or monthly in arrears or in advance based on the assets as
calculated by the custodian or record keeper of the Included Assets (without adjustments
for anticipated withdrawals by Plan participants or other anticipated or scheduled transfers
or distribution of assets). If the services to be provided start any time other than the first day
of a quarter or month, the fee will be prorated based on the number of days remaining in the
quarter or month. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the billing cycle, NRI
shall be entitled to a prorated fee based on the number of days during the fee period services
were provided or Client will be due a prorated refund of fees for days services were not
provided in the billing cycle.
The fee schedule, which includes compensation of NRI for the services is described in detail
in Schedule A of the ERISA Plan Agreement. The Plan is obligated to pay the fees, however
the Plan Sponsor may elect to pay the fees. Client may elect to be billed directly or have fees
deducted from Plan Assets. NRI does not reasonably expect to receive any additional
compensation, directly or indirectly, for its services under this Agreement. If additional
compensation is received, NRI will disclose this compensation, the services rendered, and
the payer of compensation. NRI will offset the compensation against the fees agreed upon
under the Agreement.
FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTING
NRI charges an hourly fee based on complexity and unique Client needs for financial
planning. Prior to the planning process the Client will be provided an estimated plan fee.
Services are completed and delivered inside of ninety (90) days contingent upon timely
- 9 -
delivery of all required documentation. Client may cancel within five (5) business days of
signing Agreement with no obligation and without penalty. If the Client cancels after five
(5) business days, any unearned fees will be refunded to the Client, or any unpaid earned
fees will be due to NRI. NRI reserves the right to waive the fee should the Client implement
the plan through NRI.
HOURLY FEES
Financial Planning Services are offered based on an hourly fee between $350-$500.
Fees for financial plans are:
Due upon delivery of the completed plan.
Client Payment of Fees
Fees for asset management services are deducted from a designated Client account to
facilitate billing. The Client must consent in advance to direct debiting of their investment
account.
Hourly financial planning fees are paid via check or other online payment methods, in
arrears, upon completion of the plan. Because fees are charged in arrears, no refund is
necessary.
Additional Client Fees Charged
Custodians may charge transaction fees and other related costs on the purchases or sales of
mutual funds, equities, bonds and exchange-traded funds. Mutual funds, money market
funds and exchange-traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed
in the fund’s prospectus. NRI does not receive any compensation from these fees. All of these
fees are in addition to the management fee you pay to NRI. For more details on the brokerage
practices, see Item 12 of this brochure.
Prepayment of Client Fees
NRI collects its fees in arrears. Fees for 3(38) services may be billed in advance.
If the Client cancels after five (5) business days, any unearned fees will be refunded to the
Client, or any unpaid earned fees will be due to NRI.
External Compensation for the Sale of Securities to Clients
Investment Advisor Representatives of NRI receive external compensation from sales of
investment related products such as insurance as licensed insurance agents. This represents
a conflict of interest because it gives an incentive to recommend products based on the
commission received. This conflict is mitigated by disclosures, procedures, and NRI’s
fiduciary obligation to place the best interest of the Client first and Clients are not required
to purchase any products or services. Clients have the option to purchase these products
through another insurance agent of their choosing.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Sharing of Capital Gains
Fees are not based on a share of the capital gains or capital appreciation of managed
securities.
NRI does not use a performance-based fee structure because of the conflict of interest.
Performance based compensation may create an incentive for NRI to recommend an
investment that may carry a higher degree of risk to the Client.
- 10 -
Item 7: Types of Clients
Description
NRI generally provides investment advice and/or management supervisory services to
individual and high net worth individuals. Client relationships vary in scope and length of
service.
Account Minimums
NRI requires a minimum of $250,000 to open an account. In certain instances, the minimum
account size may be lowered or waived.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
Security analysis methods may include fundamental analysis. Investing in securities involves
risk of loss that Clients should be prepared to bear. Past performance is not a guarantee of
future returns.
Fundamental analysis concentrates on factors that determine a company’s value and
expected future earnings. This strategy would normally encourage equity purchases in
stocks that are undervalued or priced below their perceived value. The risk assumed is that
the market will fail to reach expectations of perceived value.
Investment Strategy
The investment strategy for a specific Client is based upon the objectives stated by the Client
during consultations. The Client may change these objectives at any time by providing
written notice to NRI. Each Client executes a Client profile form or similar form that
documents their objectives and their desired investment strategy.
Other strategies may include long-term purchases, short-term purchases, and trading. NRI
uses portfolio diversification which is a mix of stock, equities, ETFs, bonds and REITs.
Security Specific Material Risks
All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Our investment
approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investors face the following investment
risks and should discuss these risks with NRI:
Market Risk: The prices of securities in which clients invest may decline in response to
certain events taking place around the world, including those directly involving the
companies whose securities are owned by a fund; conditions affecting the general
economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic
instability; and currency, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations. Investors
should have a long-term perspective and be able to tolerate potentially sharp declines in
market value.
Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to fluctuate.
For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less attractive,
causing their market values to decline.
Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will buy more than a
dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
Currency Risk: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the dollar
against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also referred to as
exchange rate risk.
- 11 -
Reinvestment Risk: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have to be
reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e. interest rate). This primarily relates
to fixed income securities.
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash.
Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized
product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties are
not.
Management Risk: The advisor’s investment approach may fail to produce the intended
results. If the advisor’s assumptions regarding the performance of a specific asset class
or fund are not realized in the expected time frame, the overall performance of the client’s
portfolio may suffer.
Equity Risk: Equity securities tend to be more volatile than other investment choices. The
value of an individual mutual fund or ETF can be more volatile than the market as a whole.
This volatility affects the value of the client’s overall portfolio. Small- and mid- cap
companies are subject to additional risks. Smaller companies may experience greater
volatility, higher failure rates, more limited markets, product lines, financial resources,
and less management experience than larger companies. Smaller companies may also
have a lower trading volume, which may disproportionately affect their market price,
tending to make them fall more in response to selling pressure than is the case with larger
companies.
Fixed Income Risk: The issuer of a fixed income security may not be able to make interest
and principal payments when due. Generally, the lower the credit rating of a security, the
greater the risk that the issuer will default on its obligation. If a rating agency gives a debt
security a lower rating, the value of the debt security will decline because investors will
demand a higher rate of return. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of fixed income
securities held by a fund is likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate is the sum of a real
interest rate and an expected inflation rate.
Investment Companies Risk: When a client invests in open end mutual funds or ETFs, the
client indirectly bears their proportionate share of any fees and expenses payable
directly by those funds. Therefore, the client will incur higher expenses, which may be
duplicative. In addition, the client’s overall portfolio may be affected by losses of an
underlying fund and the level of risk arising from the investment practices of an
underlying fund (such as the use of derivatives). ETFs are also subject to the following
risks: (i) an ETF’s shares may trade at a market price that is above or below their net
asset value or (ii) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s
officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are de-listed from the exchange, or the
activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock
prices) halts stock trading generally. Adviser has no control over the risks taken by the
underlying funds in which client invests.
REIT Risk: To the extent that a client invests in REITs, it is subject to risks generally
associated with investing in real estate, such as (i) possible declines in the value of real
estate, (ii) adverse general and local economic conditions, (iii) possible lack of availability
of mortgage funds, (iv) changes in interest rates, and (v) environmental problems. In
addition, REITs are subject to certain other risks related specifically to their structure
and focus such as: dependency upon management skills; limited diversification; the risks
of locating and managing financing for projects; heavy cash flow dependency; possible
default by borrowers; the costs and potential losses of self-
- 12 -
liquidation of one or more holdings; the possibility of failing to maintain exemptions
from securities registration; and, in many cases, relatively small market capitalization,
which may result in less market liquidity and greater price volatility.
to additional risks not
Foreign Securities Risk: Funds in which clients invest may invest in foreign securities.
Foreign securities are subject
typically associated with
investments in domestic securities. These risks may include, among others, currency
risk, country risks (political, diplomatic, regional conflicts, terrorism, war, social and
economic instability, currency devaluations and policies that have the effect of limiting
or restricting foreign investment or the movement of assets), different trading practices,
less government supervision, less publicly available information, limited trading markets
and greater volatility. To the extent that underlying funds invest in issuers located in
emerging markets, the risk may be heightened by political changes, changes in taxation,
or currency controls that could adversely affect the values of these investments.
Emerging markets have been more volatile than the markets of developed countries with
more mature economies.
Long-term purchases: Long-term investments are those vehicles purchased with the
intension of being held for more than one year. Typically the expectation of the
investment is to increase in value so that it can eventually be sold for a profit. In addition,
there may be an expectation for the investment to provide income. One of the biggest
risks associated with long-term investments is volatility, the fluctuations in the financial
markets that can cause investments to lose value.
Short-term purchases: Short-term investments are typically held for one year or less.
Generally there is not a high expectation for a return or an increase in value. Typically,
short-term investments are purchased for the relatively greater degree of principal
protection they are designed to provide. Short-term investment vehicles may be subject
to purchasing power risk — the risk that your investment’s return will not keep up with
inflation.
Trading risk: Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There is no
assurance that the investment objective of any fund or investment will be achieved.
Foreign Investment Risk: Investments in foreign securities may be riskier than U.S.
investments because of factors such as, unstable international, political and economic
conditions, currency fluctuations, foreign controls on investment and currency exchange,
foreign governmental control of some issuers, potential confiscatory taxation or
nationalization of companies by foreign governments, withholding taxes, a lack of
adequate company information, less liquid and more volatile exchanges and/or markets,
ineffective or detrimental government regulation, varying accounting standards, political
or economic factors that may severely limit business activities, and legal systems or
market practices that may permit inequitable treatment of minority and/or non-
domestic investors. Investments in emerging markets may involve these and other
significant risks such as less mature economic structures and less developed and more
thinly-traded securities markets.

presents a conflict of interest, as commissionable products may conflict with the fiduciary
duties of a registered investment adviser. NRI Wealth Management, LLC always acts in the
best interest of the client, including the sale of commissionable products to advisory clients.
Clients are in no way required to implement the plan through any representative of NRI

of interest, as any advice or recommendations related to these entities could be influenced
by ownership or financial interests in them.

NRI does not utilize nor select other advisers or third party managers. All assets are managed
by NRI management.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
Code of Ethics Description
The affiliated persons (affiliated persons include employees and/or independent
contractors) of NRI have committed to a Code of Ethics (“Code”). The purpose of our Code is
to set forth standards of conduct expected of NRI affiliated persons and addresses
conflicts that may arise. The Code defines acceptable behavior for affiliated persons of NRI.
- 14 -
The Code reflects NRI and its supervised persons’ responsibility to act in the best interest of
their Client.
One area which the Code addresses is when affiliated persons buy or sell securities for their
personal accounts and how to mitigate any conflict of interest with our Clients. We do not
allow any affiliated persons to use non-public material information for their personal profit
or to use internal research for their personal benefit in conflict with the benefit to our Clients.
NRI’s policy prohibits any person from acting upon or otherwise misusing non-public or
inside information. No advisory representative or other affiliated person, officer or director
of NRI may recommend any transaction in a security or its derivative to advisory Clients or
engage in personal securities transactions for a security or its derivatives if the advisory
representative possesses material, non-public information regarding the security.
NRI’s Code is based on the guiding principle that the interests of the Client are our top
priority. NRI’s officers, directors, advisors, and other affiliated persons have a fiduciary duty
to our Clients and must diligently perform that duty to maintain the complete trust and
confidence of our Clients. When a conflict arises, it is our obligation to put the Client’s
interests over the interests of either affiliated persons or the company.
The Code applies to “access” persons. “Access” persons are affiliated persons who have
access to non-public information regarding any Clients' purchase or sale of securities, or
non-public information regarding the portfolio holdings of any reportable fund, who are
involved in making securities recommendations to Clients, or who have access to such
recommendations that are non-public.
NRI will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any Client or prospective Client upon request.
Investment Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest and Conflict of
Interest
NRI and its affiliated persons do not recommend to Clients securities in which we have a
material financial interest.
Advisory Firm Purchase of Same Securities Recommended to Clients and Conflicts of
Interest
NRI and its affiliated persons may buy or sell securities that are also held by Clients. In order
to mitigate conflicts of interest such as trading ahead of Client transactions, affiliated persons
are required to disclose all reportable securities transactions as well as provide NRI with
copies of their brokerage statements.
The Chief Compliance Officer of NRI is Laddi Jhuty. He reviews all trades of the affiliated
persons each quarter. The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of
affiliated persons does not affect the markets and that Clients of the firm receive preferential
treatment over associated persons’ transactions.
Client Securities Recommendations or Trades and Concurrent Advisory Firm Securities
Transactions and Conflicts of Interest
NRI does not have a material financial interest in any securities being recommended.
However, affiliated persons may buy or sell securities at the same time they buy or sell
securities for Clients. In order to mitigate conflicts of interest such as front running,
affiliated persons are required to disclose all reportable securities transactions as well as
provide NRI with copies of their brokerage statements.
The Chief Compliance Officer of NRI is Laddi Jhuty. He reviews all trades of the affiliated

Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Factors Used to Select Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions
NRI will recommend the use of a particular broker-dealer based on their duty to seek best
execution for the client, meaning they have an obligation to obtain the most favorable terms
for a client under the circumstances. The determination of what may constitute best
execution and price in the execution of a securities transaction by a broker involves a number
of considerations and is subjective. Factors affecting brokerage selection include the overall
direct net economic result to the portfolios, the efficiency with which the transaction is
affected, the ability to effect the transaction where a large block is involved, the operational
facilities of the broker-dealer, the value of an ongoing relationship with such broker and the
financial strength and stability of the broker. NRI will select appropriate brokers based on
a number of factors including but not limited to their relatively low transaction fees and
reporting ability. NRI relies on its broker to provide its execution services at the best prices
available. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. Clients
pay for any and all custodial fees in addition to the advisory fee charged by NRI. NRI does not
receive any portion of the trading fees.
NRI will recommend the use of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
NRI receives research, products, or other services from its broker/dealer or
another third-party in connection with client securities transactions (“soft
dollar benefits”). There is no minimum client number or dollar number that
NRI must meet in order to receive free research from the custodian or
broker/dealer. There is no incentive for NRI to direct clients to this particular
broker-dealer over other broker-dealers who offer the same services. However,
because this firm does not have to produce or pay for services or products it
has an incentive to choose a custodian that provides those services based on its
interests. The first consideration when
interests rather than the clients’
recommending broker/dealers to clients is best execution. NRI always acts in
the best interest of the client.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
NRI does not receive client referrals from any custodian or third party in
exchange for using that broker-dealer or third party.
Directed Brokerage
NRI allows clients to direct brokerage. NRI may be unable to achieve most
favorable execution of client transactions if clients choose to direct brokerage.
This may cost clients’ money because without the ability to direct brokerage
NRI may not be able to aggregate orders to reduce transactions costs resulting
in higher brokerage commissions and less favorable prices. Not all investment
advisers allow their clients to direct brokerage.
Aggregating Securities Transactions for Client Accounts
NRI is authorized in its discretion to aggregate purchases and sales and other transactions
made for the account with purchases and sales and transactions in the same securities for
other Clients of NRI. All Clients participating in the aggregated order shall receive an average
- 16 -
share price with all other transaction costs shared on a pro-rated basis. If aggregation if not
allowed or infeasible and individual transactions occur (e.g., withdrawal or liquidation
requests, odd-lot trades, etc.) an account may potentially be assessed higher costs or less
favorable prices than those where aggregation has occurred.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Schedule for Periodic Review of Client Accounts or Financial Plans and Advisory
Persons Involved
Account reviews are performed at least monthly by the Chief Compliance Officer of NRI,
Laddi Jhuty. Account reviews are performed more frequently when market conditions
dictate. Reviews of Client accounts include, but are not limited to, a review of Client
documented risk tolerance, adherence to account objectives, investment time horizon, and
suitability criteria, reviewing target allocations of each asset class to identify if there is an
opportunity for rebalancing, and reviewing accounts for tax loss harvesting opportunities.
All financial planning accounts are reviewed upon financial plan creation and plan delivery
by Laddi Jhuty, Managing Member. There is only one level of review and that is the total
review conducted to create the financial plan.
Review of Client Accounts on Non-Periodic Basis
Reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events, or by changes in
client’s financial situations (such as retirement, termination of employment, physical move,
or inheritance). Other conditions that may trigger a review of Clients’ accounts are changes
in the tax laws and new investment information.
Content of Client Provided Reports and Frequency
Clients receive written account statements at least quarterly for managed accounts. Account
statements are issued by NRI’s custodian. Client receives confirmations of each transaction
in account from the custodian and an additional statement during any month in which a
transaction occurs.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Economic Benefits Provided to the Advisory Firm from External Sources and Conflicts
of Interest
NRI may refer clients to a third party for expert tax planning strategies. NRI will receive
compensation for this referral.
This practice represents a conflict of interest because it gives an incentive to recommend
services based on the compensation received. This conflict is mitigated by disclosures,
procedures and the firm’s fiduciary obligation to place the best interest of the Client first and
the Clients are not required to purchase any services. Clients have the option to purchase
these services through another tax professional of their choosing.
Advisory Firm Payments for Client Referrals
NRI does not compensate for Client referrals.

Item 15: Custody
Account Statements
All assets are held at qualified custodians, which means the custodians provide account
statements directly to Clients at their address of record at least quarterly. Clients are urged
to carefully compare the account statements received directly from their custodians to any
documentation or reports prepared by NRI.
NRI is deemed to have limited custody solely because advisory fees are directly deducted
from Client’s accounts by the custodian on behalf of NRI.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Discretionary Authority for Trading
For those client accounts where NRI provides ongoing supervision, the client has given NRI
written discretionary authority over the client’s accounts with respect to securities to be
bought or sold and the amount of securities to be bought or sold. Details of this relationship
are fully disclosed to the client before any advisory relationship has commenced.
The Client approves the custodian to be used and the commission rates paid to the custodian.
NRI does not receive any portion of the transaction fees or commissions paid by the Client
to the custodian.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Proxy Votes
NRI does not vote proxies on securities. Clients are expected to vote their own proxies. The
Client will receive their proxies directly from the custodian of their account or from a transfer
agent.
When assistance on voting proxies is requested, NRI will provide recommendations to the
Client. If a conflict of interest exists, it will be disclosed to the Client. If the Client requires
assistance or has questions, they can reach out to the investment advisor representatives of
the firm at the contact information on the cover page of this document.
Item 18: Financial Information
Balance Sheet
A balance sheet is not required to be provided to Clients because NRI does not serve as a
custodian for Client funds or securities and NRI does not require prepayment of fees of more
than $1,200 per Client and six months or more in advance.
Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Advisory Firm’s Ability to Meet
Commitments to Clients
NRI has no condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet contractual
commitments to our Clients.
Bankruptcy Petitions during the Past Ten Years
NRI has not had any bankruptcy petitions in the last ten years.
