Background and Services
Founded in 2008, Oak Wealth Advisors LLC is an SEC-registered investment adviser. The firm is 100% owned by
Michael C. Walther II.
Oak Wealth Advisors LLC (“Oak Wealth”) has two main services:
1) it provides investment management services to individuals, families, trusts, estates, limited liability corporations and
limited liability partnerships
2) it provides financial planning to individuals and families on a fixed fee basis
Investment Management Services
Oak Wealth will generally invest its clients’ assets in no-load mutual funds, exchange traded funds, stocks, bonds and
other short-term debt instruments, and fund of funds. In addition, Oak Wealth will implement relationships with third-
party investment firms to manage individual portfolios of stocks or bonds for a client when appropriate. Oak Wealth
manages client accounts on a discretionary basis which means that we will implement the investment strategy by
purchasing or selling securities on behalf of clients without requiring approval from our clients for each transaction.
Investment management services are customized to meet the needs of each individual client. The client’s risk tolerance
will be assessed through discussions and the completion of a risk assessment profile. The client’s current and projected
income tax status will be considered. The client’s earnings history and expectations for future earnings will be evaluated.
These discussions will culminate in the client and Oak Wealth collaborating to establish an Investment Policy which will
be used to guide the investment implementation, performance evaluation, portfolio rebalancing, and liquidity of the
portfolio.
Client assets are held by independent custodians for security and independence reasons. The independent custodian
provides clients with monthly or quarterly statements, year-end tax reporting documents, and real-time access to their
accounts. Oak Wealth clients provide the firm with a limited power of attorney to make transactions and deduct fees from
their accounts. Oak Wealth does not have the authority to take money out of client accounts or move money to other client
accounts without written permission from the client. More details about the custodians can be found in the Custody
section of this document.
Clients receive quarterly investment performance reports which include cash flow information, multi-period investment
performance, returns relative to benchmarks, and a summary of holdings. These reports are produced by Oak Wealth and
are in addition to the monthly or quarterly reports that are generated by the custodians.
Clients are free to request that certain investments be maintained, included or added to their portfolio. Oak Wealth will
work with clients to meet the clients’ objectives and restrictions in light of any specific portfolio requests. Clients may
also request that specific securities (individual stocks, bonds, exchange traded funds or mutual funds) be avoided though
Oak Wealth will take no responsibility if a mutual fund, which owns a diversified group of securities, buys a specific
security that the client wished to avoid.
Oak Wealth does not participate in any wrap fee programs which tend to have higher fees associated with them than direct
investment in no-load mutual fund products.
Oak Wealth manages $321,032,986 of client assets on a discretionary basis as of December 31, 2024.

Financial Planning Services
Financial planning services are customized to meet the needs of each individual client. Clients may elect either ongoing
financial planning services or project-based financial planning services. Clients will be consulted to determine which
areas of financial planning to prioritize. The areas of planning that may be pursued include but are not limited to:
- Retirement Planning
- Charitable Planning
- Income Tax Planning
- Cash Flow Planning
- Special Needs Planning
- College Tuition Planning
- Wealth Transfer Planning
- Financial Risk Management Planning
- Employee Benefits Planning
Oak Wealth can work with clients to create and update a Net Worth Statement which includes all financial assets and
liabilities held by the client. The Net Worth Statement typically can be updated annually to provide a frame of reference
for how the planning efforts are contributing to the changes in the client’s financial position. The client is responsible for
sharing the information necessary to compile the Net Worth Statement.
In addition, Oak Wealth’s Financial Planning services may include doing the following:
Every relationship begins with one or more information gathering meeting during which priorities will be set and planning
opportunities will be discussed. From this point forward, Oak Wealth will make recommendations to clients about
strategies and planning techniques that can help them meet their goals. Each client will move at the pace they prefer and
Oak Wealth will establish expectations and deadlines for all financial planning projects that are undertaken.
Retirement planning can involve comparing choices among various retirement plans and savings vehicles and educating
clients about the tax implications of the various retirement savings options. The planning can also include projecting
future levels of wealth, distribution impacts, and other financial analysis that could involve financial modeling. Oak
Wealth may also discuss the health insurance needs of clients in retirement and recommend that clients seek coverage
when the needs are not met by current resources. Oak Wealth may suggest simplifying the management of retirement
accounts by consolidating accounts when possible.
Cash flow planning can involve helping clients see the benefits that can be achieved from additional savings. It can also
include evaluating the after-tax results of drawing money from various sources in retirement and the rates at which the
withdrawals will be sustainable. Another area of cash flow planning that some clients may choose to pursue is an
evaluation of their expenses and the sources and uses of their cash to determine why they are in debt or simply not able to
save as much as they had hoped.
Wealth transfer planning is generally done in conjunction with the client’s attorney. Oak Wealth can illustrate the flow
of a client’s wealth under different scenarios and help clients evaluate their gifting options. Oak Wealth can also assist in
the implementation of a client’s estate plan by opening new accounts in the names of trusts as appropriate and assisting
clients with changing beneficiary designations on investment accounts, retirement accounts, and insurance policies. A
discussion of various asset protection options can also be included in wealth transfer planning.
Charitable planning is generally done in conjunction with the client’s attorney and tax advisor. Oak Wealth can educate
clients about the various entities that can be used for charitable gifting, assist in opening accounts for the purpose of
facilitating charitable giving, and assist clients in documenting and processing their gifts.
Special needs planning is an area in which Oak Wealth Advisors provides education, referrals, and networking assistance
in all areas of financial planning as they specifically pertain to special needs circumstances. For example, the estate
planning that is needed for a family with a special needs member is significantly different than it is for a family that does
not have any special needs issues to consider. These unique challenges faced by families with special needs members are
discussed with clients and the planning priorities are adjusted accordingly. The special needs planning complements the
basic financial planning that is provided to all clients.

Financial risk management planning can involve reviewing a client’s insurance coverages, a discussion of liabilities
unique to their circumstances, and an evaluation of insurance policies. The goal with financial risk management planning
is to evaluate if the client has exposed risks that could limit their ability to achieve their goals. Oak Wealth can make
referrals to insurance consultants and brokers for the placement of insurance products when requested by the client. Oak
Wealth never accepts any referral fees or any form of compensation related to the client’s purchase of insurance products.
Income tax planning is generally done in conjunction with the client’s tax advisor. Oak Wealth does not directly provide
income tax advice, but Oak Wealth may make clients aware of various income tax planning opportunities. Oak Wealth
can harvest losses or gains in client investment portfolios if requested by the client and can manage client investment
portfolios with an eye toward the after-tax investment results.
College tuition planning can involve comparing the various tax-advantaged college savings vehicles and can include the
comparison of different 529 college savings plans. College tuition planning is generally done in connection with a client’s
estate planning as both impact the gifting that a family does and may involve communication with other generations within
the family.
Employee benefits planning can include reviewing various options the client has for insurance coverages, savings
vehicles, company stock accumulation plans, and other perks. Oak Wealth can assist clients with the preparation of
benefits forms and elections if requested.
The number of hours required to complete the financial planning work is impossible to estimate in advance. Oak Wealth
encourages clients to address all areas of financial planning and can work with clients to prioritize the topics. Ongoing
financial planning services are not limited by hours. If a client is interested in doing a significant amount of planning, Oak
Wealth can work with them to establish a timeline for completing the objectives and can work as fast as the clients are able
to provide details and answers that are needed to complete projects. For clients who elect Oak Wealth’s project-based
financial planning services, the services generally end upon the delivery by Oak Wealth of its written recommendations.
Oak Wealth investment management clients are not charged separately for the financial planning services they receive.
Clients who do not hire Oak Wealth for investment management services are billed a fixed fee for financial planning
services. The fees are described in more detail in “Item 5 – Fees” of this document.
Retirement Plan Consulting Services
Oak Wealth may provide retirement plan services to employer plan sponsors on an ongoing basis. Generally, such services
consist of assisting employer plan sponsors or plan named fiduciaries in establishing, monitoring, and reviewing their
company's participant-directed retirement plan. As the needs of the plan sponsor dictate, areas of advising could include:
design of investment policy statement, investment review and recommendations, fee analysis, participant education, and
vendor searches & analysis.
In providing retirement plan services, Oak Wealth does not provide any advisory services with respect to the following
types of assets: employer securities, real estate (excluding real estate funds and publicly-traded REITs), participant loans,
non-publicly traded securities or assets, other illiquid investments, or brokerage window programs (collectively, “Excluded
Assets”).
Certain plans and/or clients that we may provide services to are regulated under the Employee Retirement Income
Securities Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). We will provide employee benefit plan services to the plan sponsor and/or fiduciaries
as described above for the fees set forth in Item 5 of this brochure. The services we provide are advisory in nature. We are
not subject to any disqualifications under Section 411 of ERISA. In performing fiduciary services, we are acting as a
fiduciary of the plan as defined in Section 3(21)(A)(ii) under ERISA.

Fees and Compensation
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 5
Investment Management Services
Oak Wealth charges clients for investment management services as a percentage-based fee, dependent upon the value of
the client’s assets under management with Oak Wealth. The interests of Oak Wealth are aligned with those of its clients.
Clients will pay more fees as the value of their portfolio increases and will be charged less if the value of their portfolio
declines. Also, as certain breakpoint levels are met, additional dollars added to the portfolio are billed at lower rates.
Family accounts are aggregated to achieve greater cost savings for all family members.
The annual fee varies depending upon the market value of the assets under management, and any breakpoints. Generally,
Oak Wealth's fee schedule is as follows:
Assets Under Management Annual Advisory Fees
First $1,000,000 .90%
Assets between $1,000,001 – $3,000,000 .75%
Assets between $3,000,001 -- $5,000,000 .60%
Assets between $5,000,001 -- $10,000,000 .40%
Assets between $10,000,001 -- $20,000,000 .30%
Assets over $20,000,000 .20%
Oak Wealth, in its sole discretion, may negotiate to waive its stated account minimum of $5,000 or charge a lesser
management fee based upon certain criteria (i.e., anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets,
dollar amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, pre-existing client, account retention, pro
bono activities, etc.).
Oak Wealth only receives compensation from its clients. Oak Wealth never receives compensation in the form of sales
loads, commissions, 12B-1 fees, or other incentive compensation from mutual fund companies or other firms as these
types of compensation create inherent conflicts of interest, which Oak Wealth works diligently to avoid.
For the percentage-based fee, the annual fee will be prorated and charged quarterly, in advance, based upon the market
value of the assets on the last day of the prior quarter. Oak Wealth’s Investment Advisory Agreement and/or separate
agreements with the custodian(s) authorize the firm to charge the client's account for the amount of the quarterly fee. The
fee will be directly remitted to Oak Wealth by the custodian(s). The custodian(s) used by Oak Wealth will agree to send a
statement to the client, at least quarterly, indicating all amounts disbursed from the account including the amount of
management fees paid directly to Oak Wealth. In addition, Oak Wealth will provide the client with a quarterly invoice
detailing the fees charged and the accounts from which payment was taken.
The client may make additions to and withdrawals from the account at any time. Clients may withdraw account assets on
notice to Oak Wealth, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. However, Oak Wealth designs
its portfolios as long-term investments and asset withdrawals may impair the achievement of a client's investment
objectives.
For the initial quarter of investment management services, the first quarter's fees will be calculated on a pro rata basis. The
Investment Advisory Agreement between Oak Wealth and the client will continue in effect until terminated by either party
pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Oak Wealth's annual fee will be prorated through the date of termination and any
remaining balance will be charged or refunded to the client, as appropriate, in a timely manner. In addition to the fees paid
to Oak Wealth Advisors, clients will have other expenses related to their investments, including commissions and in some
cases custodial fees paid to their custodian. Oak Wealth Advisors never receives any of the commissions charged by the
custodians. All mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs) have expenses that are charged and deducted by the fund
companies and netted against the return received by the client. Oak Wealth typically invests in mutual funds that have fees
that are far lower than the average fees for the industry. In addition, Oak Wealth does not invest in mutual funds that have
sales loads or 12(b)(1) fees which add significantly to the cost of holding the funds. When commissions are charged by
the custodian for the purchase or sale of securities, the amount of the fee is paid entirely to the custodian based on the

agreement the client has their custodian – Oak Wealth does not receive any compensation related to the purchase or sale of
securities.
If a client employs a separate account manager to invest a portion of the assets in the portfolio, the client will typically be
charged a fee based on the size of the account with the separate account manager. These separate account manager fees
are in addition to the fees charged by Oak Wealth. Often, the separate account managers have negotiated volume pricing
discounts at custodians which provide for lower brokerage expenses. Oak Wealth passes the brokerage savings on to
clients. Oak Wealth receives no compensation from the separate account managers and will assist in negotiating the fee
with the separate account managers on behalf of the client.
Most of Oak Wealth’s clients hold their investments at Charles Schwab. As the custodian, Charles Schwab does not charge
any fees for its custody services. Instead, brokerage fees are charged by the custodian when securities are bought or sold.
In most cases when a firm other than Charles Schwab is the custodian, similar fees apply. In some cases, there are no
brokerage transaction fees if mutual fund shares are held in custody by the mutual fund company who issued the shares. In
some cases, Oak Wealth works with Pontera to securely access and trade client retirement account assets. Although
technically not a custodian, Pontera software provides Oak Wealth with the equivalent of an investment management
platform for trading clients’ investment securities. For a more detailed discussion of brokerage issues, see Brokerage
Practices on page 11.
Oak Wealth charges quarterly investment management fees at the start of a quarter based on the asset value of the portfolio
as of the end of the prior quarter. If in a given quarter a client wishes to terminate their relationship with Oak Wealth, a
pro-rata refund will be issued based on the date two weeks after the date the written request to terminate the relationship is
received by Oak Wealth. Oak Wealth will endeavor to transfer the securities to a new advisor or custodian as soon as
possible following a termination and expects to be able to do so within two weeks of being provided with the transfer
instructions from client.
Financial Planning Services
We charge a recurring fixed fee for Ongoing Financial Planning to clients who do not engage Oak Wealth to perform
investment management services. Fees are paid quarterly in advance, ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 annually. The fee
range is dependent upon variables including the specific needs of the Client, complexity, estimated time, research, and
resources required to provide services to you, among other factors we deem relevant. Clients will receive invoices to be
paid by check or electronic transfer. Fees are negotiable and the final agreed upon fee will be outlined in your Advisory
Contract.
We charge a fixed fee for Project-Based Financial Planning. Fixed fee rates range from $2,000 to $25,000. The fee range is
dependent upon variables including the specific needs of the Client, complexity, estimated time, research, and resources
required to provide services to you, among other factors we deem relevant. Fees are negotiable and the final agreed upon
fee will be outlined in your Advisory Contract. Oak Wealth may collect a portion of the fee in advance with the remainder
due upon completion of the services. Fees are due upon completion of the services. Oak Wealth will not bill an amount
above $500 more than 6 months or more in advance of rendering the services.
Fixed fees for financial planning services are available to all clients. Oak Wealth has no specific net worth requirement for
financial planning services.
Retirement Plan Consulting Services
Fees for the Retirement Plan Consulting Services are negotiable, based solely on our discretion, and vary based upon the
nature, scope, and frequency of our services as well as the size and complexity of the plan. The fee is based on a
percentage of retirement plan assets, and the annualized fees will not exceed 0.75% of retirement plan assets.
Depending upon the capabilities and requirements of the plan’s record keeper or custodian, we may collect our fees in
arrears or in advance. In some cases, plan sponsors instruct the plan’s record keeper or custodian to automatically deduct
our plan-level fees from the plan account(s); however, plan sponsors may also request that we send invoices directly to the
plan sponsor or the record keeper/custodian.

In determining the plan account's value for calculating asset-based fees, we will rely upon the valuation of assets provided
by the plan sponsor or the plan’s custodian or record keeper without independent verification. Oak Wealth’s fee does not
include fees to other parties, such as record keepers, custodians, or third-party administrators.
Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 6
Oak Wealth Advisors never charges performance-based fees or other incentive-based fees which may impair our
objectivity and increase the overall cost of the investment relationship to our clients.
There is an inherent conflict of interest for Oak Wealth Advisors when advising clients about rolling over their retirement
or other investment accounts which we are not able to actively manage into IRAs or other accounts which we can manage.
Oak Wealth rarely charges clients for assets held in their employer retirement accounts unless we are able to manage the
accounts through secure connections, while fees are charged for assets held in IRA accounts that we manage. While
clients often benefit from lower costs, greater investment choice, and greater distribution flexibility by moving out of
employer provided plans and into IRA accounts, they will also pay Oak Wealth Advisors more by doing so.
Types of Clients
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 7
Oak Wealth provides investment management to individuals, trusts, family partnerships, and estates. Our focus is on
individual clients and their families.
Oak Wealth charges a minimum fee of $5,000 per year per client for investment management services. Based on our fee
schedule, the minimum fee equates to having approximately $550,000 of assets under management with Oak Wealth. Oak
Wealth may combine accounts of multiple family members in an effort to provide more cost-effective pricing to the family
and allow individual family members who may not individually have sufficient assets to meet Oak Wealth minimums to
receive our services.
Oak Wealth, in its sole discretion, may accept clients with smaller portfolios or waive its minimum annual fee, based upon
certain criteria including anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amounts of assets
to be managed, related accounts, account composition, pre-existing client, account retention, and pro bono activities.

Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 8
Oak Wealth believes that a well-diversified portfolio that includes multiple asset classes, has low expenses, is managed to
improve tax-efficiency, and in which trading is done only to rebalance portfolios to maintain risk levels or in response to
assets being added or withdrawn from the portfolio is most appropriate. No-load mutual funds and exchange trading funds
are the primary investments purchased for client portfolios. Fundamental research is done to find funds that have appropriate
returns and risk levels for the asset classes in which they are invested. In addition to evaluating the risk and return
characteristics of an investment, the expense ratios, trading frequency, and tax efficiency of the funds are also evaluated.
Oak Wealth takes a long-term view of the investment markets and makes investments for clients with the intention of holding
each investment for many years.
Oak Wealth does not provide advice or research on individual stocks and bonds. Oak Wealth believes that clients are best
served by being broadly diversified in a cost-effective manner and believes that no-load mutual funds and ETFs can
provide the desired results more cost effectively than actively managing portfolios of individual stocks and/or bonds.
Oak Wealth recommends passive investment management which seeks to minimize trading and transaction costs. Oak
Wealth prefers mutual funds and ETFs for client accounts that also invest passively to further minimize the trading and
transaction costs paid by clients. While the frequency of trading is minimized, Client portfolios are reviewed regularly to
ensure that client asset allocations are within tolerable ranges of the target asset allocations at all times. The maintenance
of the asset allocations helps to maintain risk levels in the portfolio at levels desired by clients.
Clients may request that certain individual securities be held in the portfolio that would not ordinarily be recommended by
Oak Wealth Advisors. When these circumstances arise, Oak Wealth will build portfolios inclusive of the client-specific
holdings and will try to keep risk levels at the appropriate levels despite the increased risks that may come from holding
the client-specific securities.
Oak Wealth primarily recommends low cost, tax efficient, no-load mutual funds and ETFs for client portfolios. These
investments provide broad diversification which helps to decrease the risks that come from exposure from individual
companies. While no investment is free from risk, we believe that investing in passively managed, low cost, tax efficient,
no-load mutual funds and ETFs provides clients with the best possible access to multiple asset classes for their portfolio.
All investing involves the risk of loss and even broad diversification cannot prevent losses from occurring in a portfolio.
While Oak Wealth will work with clients to set appropriate risk levels in their portfolios, clients must recognize and accept
that at times losses in the portfolio may be unavoidable.

Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 11
Oak Wealth Advisors serves as a fiduciary to all of its clients. Our clients’ interests are always put ahead of our firm’s and
our employees’. We provide fair and complete disclosure of all important facts related our relationships including the
compensation we receive from our clients and our independence from investment firms and other professionals that we
recommend. We will fairly disclose and manage in our clients’ favor any unavoidable conflicts.
Oak Wealth Advisors has a comprehensive Code of Ethics which applies to all of its employees. Our Code of Ethics
document is available upon request by any client or prospective client.
The topics covered by the Code of Ethics include:
1. Fiduciary Obligations
2. Standards of Business Conduct
3. Prohibition Against Insider Trading (buying or selling securities based on material, non-public information)
4. Personal Securities Transactions
5. Gifts and Entertainment
6. Client Confidentiality
7. Restrictions on Service as Director of a Public Company
8. Compliance Reporting Procedures
In accordance with Section 204A of the Investment Advisers Act, Oak Wealth’s Code of Ethics contains policies
reasonably designed to prevent the illegal use of material, non-public information by our firm and our employees. Oak
Wealth employees must report their personal securities holdings and transactions and obtain pre-approval before
purchasing certain investments such as initial public offerings and limited offerings. In addition, Oak Wealth Advisors
and their employees will not take opposing positions on securities to those our clients are taking.
Purchases and sales of securities for clients are made on an as needed basis. Therefore, different clients may trade the
same securities on different days in a given period due to their individual needs. If multiple clients need to purchase or sell
the same security on the same day, any Oak Wealth employees also desiring to buy or sell the security will trade securities
simultaneously in block trades with clients. Oak Wealth clients are given preference over employees’ personal security
transactions
These procedures are expected to eliminate any potential conflicts of interest related to securities trading.

Brokerage Practices
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 12
General Brokerage Information
Oak Wealth Advisors is a fee-only advisor and does not receive any brokerage commissions or other compensation as a
result of placing trades for clients. Brokerage commissions and/or transaction fees charged by any custodian or broker-
dealer are exclusive of and in addition to the fees paid by clients to Oak Wealth. Clients will sign separate agreements
with the custodian(s) they choose. As a fee-only advisor, the only compensation Oak Wealth receives is the fees paid to it
directly by our clients.
Directed Brokerage and Brokerage for Client Referrals
Oak Wealth Advisors can effectively work with any broker-dealer desired by its clients. When clients have no
preferences regarding the broker-dealer to be chosen, Oak Wealth generally uses the services of Charles Schwab
Institutional. Charles Schwab has been chosen due to their capabilities for executing, clearing, and settling trades and for
the wide range of investments that can be easily traded on their platforms. In addition, their quality of service, competitive
pricing, reputation, financial strength, and support when issues arise make them an appropriate choice for clients.
Clients are free to request that Oak Wealth Advisors direct trades through any broker-dealer of their choosing. If clients
request that brokerage be directed to a specific broker-dealer, Oak Wealth has no way to assure best execution or most
favorable pricing. Often, directed brokerage can increase costs due to trade-away fees and other losses of efficiency. In
addition, it may be harder for Oak Wealth to confirm trade execution and resolve issues if they arise when clients direct
trades to specific broker-dealers.
Oak Wealth Advisors does not seek referrals from any broker-dealers or other financial services providers. Therefore, the
issue of referrals does not impair our objectivity nor does it create any potential conflicts of interest for our clients.
Soft Dollars
Charles Schwab and other custodians, if any, may provide Oak Wealth with institutional trading services, portfolio
monitoring and management services, and operations services which are not available directly to retail investors. Oak
Wealth may also receive other benefits from custodians without cost. These benefits may include software and related
systems support which allows Oak Wealth to better monitor client accounts maintained at the custodians. Oak Wealth
may also receive from Charles Schwab or other custodians referral networks, research, educational seminar invitations,
duplicate client statements and trade confirmations, access to trading desks dedicated to Registered Investment Advisors,
ability to trade blocks of securities and allocate the appropriate shares to client accounts, and discounts for third-party
products and services. These benefits are available to Oak Wealth without cost because Oak Wealth provides investment
management services to clients that, in total, maintain a certain level of assets with the custodians. The benefits received
by Oak Wealth from these custodians are similar to those offered by most other discount brokerage firms to registered
investment advisors.
To the extent Oak Wealth Advisors receives benefits from any custodian, the benefits are enjoyed equally by all clients.
No benefits are received by Oak Wealth based on the amount of trading or the specific securities chosen for client
portfolios.

Best Execution
Oak Wealth Advisors seeks best execution for client transactions. Best execution involves considering the commission
charged, any other transaction fees or charges, custodial charges, transfer charges, as well as the ability to trade efficiently
and get good prices and provide great client service. Commissions should be viewed as one component of best execution
and it is often not the one with the biggest impact on the total cost to a client. Therefore, a client may pay a commission
that is higher than another qualified broker-dealer might charge to effect the same transaction when Oak Wealth
determines, in good faith, that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the services received. No
commissions or fees related to a client transaction are paid to Oak Wealth.
Aggregation of Trades
Based on the types of securities purchased by Oak Wealth Advisors in client portfolios, Oak Wealth rarely has the
opportunity to aggregate orders. Oak Wealth purchases and sells securities based on individual client needs. When a
purchase of a security is desired for multiple client accounts and the security can be purchased more cost effectively in one
large lot, then an aggregated trade will be placed and all clients will receive the same pricing per share for the shares
allocated to their account.
Trade Errors
Oak Wealth Advisors makes clients whole when trading errors arise. If the error causes a loss in the client account, Oak
Wealth Advisors will deposit cash into the client account to cover the loss. If the error results in a gain in the client
account, the gain is retained by the custodian and Oak Wealth Advisors does not benefit.
Review of Accounts
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 13
Oak Wealth Advisors monitors client portfolios as part of an ongoing process while regular account reviews are conducted
on at least an annual basis. Such reviews are conducted by Michael C. Walther, President and Managing Member of Oak
Wealth, or his designee(s). All investment advisory clients are encouraged to discuss their needs, goals and objectives with
Oak Wealth and to keep Oak Wealth informed of any changes to them. Oak Wealth will contact ongoing investment
advisory clients at least annually to review its services and recommendations and to discuss the impact resulting from any
changes in a client's financial situation and/or investment objectives.
Unless otherwise agreed upon, clients are provided with either paper or electronic transaction confirmation notices and
regular summary account statements directly from the custodian for the client accounts. Oak Wealth Advisors’ investment
advisory clients will also receive quarterly reports from Oak Wealth that may include such relevant information as a
summary of account holdings and account performance.
Reports from Oak Wealth include a recommendation that clients should review the information in the report with the
statements they have received from their custodian(s).

Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 14
As a fee-only advisor, Oak Wealth Advisors does not accept fees or other compensation from third parties for the
investment advisory services we provide for clients. In addition, Oak Wealth Advisors does not pay any third parties,
advisors, or service providers for client referrals.
Custody
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 15
Oak Wealth Advisors is not deemed to have custody of client assets because Oak Wealth receives written permission from
clients to collect fees directly from client accounts. The fee payments are the only distributions that Oak Wealth is
allowed to make from a client account other than to transfer assets on behalf of a client to a like-named account held by the
client. From time to time, clients may provide written authorization for Oak Wealth to assist in making other distributions
from client accounts. At no time will Oak Wealth hold physical securities or cash on behalf of a client.
Oak Wealth recommends that clients review the monthly and quarterly account statements from their custodian(s) and
compare the quarterly reports prepared by Oak Wealth against the securities and values reported by the custodian(s).
Investment Discretion
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 16
For most client accounts, Oak Wealth Advisors retains discretionary authority to manage the securities on behalf of the
clients. This authority covers which securities should be bought and sold, how much of the securities should be bought
and sold, and in which accounts the securities should be bought and sold. The client determines which custodian(s) are to
be utilized and the fee schedules for the purchase and sale of securities is determined by the relationship between the client
and the custodian.
Clients are permitted to make recommendations about purchasing, retaining or not purchasing various securities. Oak
Wealth will invest the remainder of the client portfolio around any limitations created by clients retaining discretion over a
portion of their portfolios.
The Oak Wealth investment advisory engagement letter that all investment advisory clients sign provides an explanation of
the discretionary authority that Oak Wealth will have with respect to client accounts. In addition, clients sign limited
power of attorney documents with custodians providing specific approval for Oak Wealth to have discretionary trading
authority over their accounts.

Voting Client Securities
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 17
Oak Wealth Advisors does not vote proxies for clients. Clients will be sent the proxy materials and other solicitations
directly from their custodian(s). Clients may contact Oak Wealth if they have questions about an election or a specific
solicitation, but Oak Wealth will not be responsible for voting any proxies or making any elections related to any
proceedings involving clients’ investments.
Financial Information
Form ADV Part 2A, Item 18
Oak Wealth Advisors does not require prepayment of more than $500 in fees six months or more in advance, nor does it
take custody of client assets. Oak Wealth does not believe that there are any financial conditions that would impair the
firm’s ability to meet its contractual obligations to its clients.
Neither Oak Wealth, nor its President and Managing Member, Michael C. Walther II, nor any of its Investment Advisors,
has ever been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
