Item 4 Advisory Business
Description of Firm
One + One Wealth Management, LLC is a registered investment adviser based in Jupiter, Florida. We
are organized as a limited liability company ("LLC") under the laws of the State of Florida. We have
been providing investment advisory services since October 2020. We are owned by Frank L. Maurno
III and Keith A. Dubauskas.
The following paragraphs describe our services and fees. 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 One + One Wealth
Management, LLC and the words "you," "your," and "client" refer to you as either a client or
prospective client of our firm.
Portfolio Management Services
We offer discretionary and non-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
may customize an investment portfolio for you according to your risk tolerance and investing
objectives. Once we construct an investment portfolio for you, we will monitor your portfolio's
performance on an ongoing basis and will rebalance the portfolio as required by changes in market
conditions and in your financial circumstances.
One + One Wealth Management evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in client portfolios
only after applying its internal due diligence process. Our investment strategy is primarily long-term
focused, but we may buy, sell or reallocate positions that have been held less than one year to meet
the objectives of the client or due to market conditions. If it is consistent with your goals, we may also
engage in an investment strategy that utilizes frequent trading in securities, please see Item 8 for more
information. We will construct, implement and monitor your portfolio to ensure it meets the goals,
objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by each client. Each client will have the
opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective
portfolio, subject to acceptance by One + One Wealth Management.
If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant our firm
discretionary authority to manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow us to determine
the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold for your account without
your approval prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority is granted in the investment advisory
agreement you sign with our firm and the appropriate trading authorization forms. You may limit our
discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities that can be purchased or sold for
your account) by providing our firm with your restrictions and guidelines in writing.
As part of our portfolio management services, we may also service 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 where the ultimate decision to act on behalf of the plan
shall remain with the plan sponsor or other named fiduciary. These engagements are typically
regulated under the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA"). All services, whether
4
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.
As part of our portfolio management services, we may also offer variable universal life (VUL) insurance
products, life, long term care, and disability insurance products through relationships with a Brokerage
General Agency. Representatives of the firm may receive commissions through these engagements.
We may also offer non-discretionary portfolio management services. If you enter into non-discretionary
arrangements with our firm, we must obtain your approval prior to executing any transactions on behalf
of your account. You have an unrestricted right to decline to implement any advice provided by our firm
on a non-discretionary basis.
Financial Planning
We include comprehensive financial planning services at no additional costs for clients who utilize our
portfolio management services.
Model Portfolios
As part of our portfolio management services, in addition to other types of investments (see
disclosures below in this section), we may invest your assets according to one or more
model portfolios developed by our firm. These models are designed for investors with varying degrees
of risk tolerance ranging from a more aggressive investment strategy to a more conservative
investment approach. Clients whose assets are invested in model portfolios may not set restrictions on
the specific holdings or allocations within the model, nor the types of securities that can be purchased
in the model. Nonetheless, clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of
securities in their account. In such cases, this may prevent a client from investing in certain models
that are managed by our firm.
As part of our portfolio management services, we may use one or more sub-advisers to manage a
portion of your account on a non-discretionary basis. The sub-adviser(s) may use one or more of their
model portfolios to manage your account. We will regularly monitor the performance of your accounts
managed by sub-adviser(s). We may pay a portion of our advisory fee to the sub-adviser(s) we use;
however, you will not pay our firm a higher advisory fee as a result of any sub-advisory relationships.
Held Away Accounts
One + One Wealth Management will use Pontera, an unaffiliated third-party service provider, for
accounts not directly held with our recommended custodian. One + One Wealth Management does
have discretion and utilizes an Order Management System to implement asset allocation or
rebalancing strategies on behalf of the client. One + One Wealth Management will utilize Pontera's
platform to directly manage 401(k) accounts, 403(b) accounts, 529 plans, and other accounts not held
with our recommended custodian. We do not have access to client credentials, client assets, or the
ability to withdraw/transfer funds and therefore we do not have custody. We will periodically review
these accounts and make changes on behalf of our clients in accordance with our available investment
options and strategies, if necessary. The client does not pay an additional fee to Pontera. Fees will be
based upon our portfolio management fee schedule and your Agreement.
Selection of Other Advisers
We may recommend that you use the services of a third party money manager ("TPMM") to manage
all, or a portion of, your investment portfolio. After gathering information about your financial situation
and objectives, we may recommend that you engage a specific TPMM or investment program. Factors
that we take into consideration when making our recommendation(s) include, but are not limited to, the
following: the TPMM's performance, methods of analysis, fees, your financial needs, investment goals,
5
risk tolerance, and investment objectives. We will monitor the TPMM(s)' performance to ensure its
management and investment style remains aligned with your investment goals and objectives.
The TPMM(s) will actively manage your portfolio and will assume discretionary investment authority
over your account. We will assume discretionary authority to hire and fire TPMM(s) and/or reallocate
your assets to other TPMM(s) where we deem such action appropriate.
Types of Investments
We offer advice on equity securities, corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper),
certificates of deposit, municipal securities, variable life insurance, fee-based annuities, mutual funds,
United States government securities, options contracts on securities, and commodities, money market
funds, real estate, real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), derivatives, structured notes, exchange
traded funds ("ETFs"), interests in partnerships investing in real estate and alternative investments
including, but not limited to: private placements, hedge funds, private equity, real estate, and business
opportunities.
Additionally, we may advise you on various types of investments based on your stated goals and
objectives. We may also provide advice on any type of investment held in your portfolio at the inception
of our advisory relationship.
Since our investment strategies and advice are based on each client's specific financial situation, the
investment advice we provide to you may be different or conflicting with the advice we give to other
clients regarding the same security or investment.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, we provide continuous management services for $255,469,000 in client
assets on a discretionary basis, and $15,445,000 in client assets on a non-discretionary basis.
Item 5 Fees and Compensation
Portfolio Management Services
Our annual portfolio management fees are billed quarterly in advance (1/4 of annual rate) based upon
the market value of the assets at the end of the prior quarter as valued by the Custodian based on the
fee schedule set forth below.
Annual Fee Schedule
For relationships less than $1,000,000, the base fee is 1.50%.
For relationships greater than $1,000,000, the fee tier is based on the
following:
Assets Under Management
$0 - $1,999,999
Annual Fee
1.00%
$2,000,000 - $4,999,999
0.75%
Over $5,000,000
0.50%
As part of our portfolio management services, we also service employee benefit plans and their
6
fiduciaries based upon the needs of the plan and the services requested by the plan sponsor or named
fiduciary. These pension consulting services will generally be non-discretionary and advisory in nature
where the ultimate decision to act on behalf of the plan shall remain with the plan sponsor or other
named fiduciary. Our annual portfolio management fee for these services is billed and payable,
quarterly in advance, may be based on average daily balance or on the balance the last day of the
quarter.
We will include fee based annuity accounts in the total value used for our advisory billing/fee
computation. The value of the annuity sub accounts will be added to the value of your total assets for
billing purposes. If the portfolio management agreement is executed at any time other than the first day
of a calendar 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.
At our discretion, we may combine the account values of family members other than those living in the
same household to determine the applicable advisory fee. For example, we may combine account
values for family members living in different households in addition to 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 in our fee schedule stated above.
We will deduct our fee directly from your account through the qualified custodian holding your funds
and securities, or clients may be billed directly. We will deduct our advisory fee only when you have
given our firm written authorization permitting the fees to be paid directly from your account. Further,
the qualified custodian will deliver an account statement to you at least quarterly. These account
statements will show all disbursements from your account. You should review all statements for
accuracy.
You may terminate the portfolio management agreement upon written notice. You will incur a pro rata
charge for services rendered prior to the termination of the portfolio management 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.
Held Away Accounts
Our annual portfolio management fee for using Pontera is billed and payable quarterly in advance
based on the balance of the last day of the quarter. Specifically, the exact amount charged is
determined by the account value of the directly managed held away accounts, on the day the account
is under our firm's management, and quarterly thereafter. If the portfolio management agreement is
executed at any time other than the first day of a calendar 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. The client does not pay an additional fee to Pontera. Fees will be based
upon your negotiated fee in accordance with our portfolio management fee schedule and your
Agreement. Refer to Item 4 - Portfolio Management, Item 12 - Brokerage Practices, Item 13 - Review
of Accounts and Item 15 - Custody for further information.
Selection of Other Advisers
Our recommendation to use third party money managers ("TPMM") is included in our portfolio
management fee (see tier schedule above). We do not charge you a separate advisory fee for the
selection of other advisers. Any advisory fees you may pay to the TPMM are established and payable
in accordance with the brochure provided by each TPMM to whom you are referred. Any fees that you
pay to the TPMM are established and payable in accordance with the Form ADV Part 2 ("Disclosure
Brochure"). These fees may or may not be negotiable.
7
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 the fees charged by
mutual funds, exchange traded funds, our firm, and others. For information on our brokerage practices,
refer to the Brokerage Practices section of this brochure.
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 a 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, pension and
profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations, corporations or other businesses, and other investment
advisers.
In general, we do not require a minimum dollar amount to open and maintain an advisory account.
Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
We 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. Technical analysis may include charting analysis.
Risk: 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 or may not
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.
8
Risk: 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.
Risk: 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.
Modern Portfolio Theory - a theory of investment which attempts to maximize portfolio expected return
for a given amount of portfolio risk, or equivalently minimize risk for a given level of expected return, by
carefully diversifying the proportions of various assets.
Risk: Market risk is that part of a security's risk that is common to all securities of the same
general class (stocks and bonds) and thus cannot be eliminated by diversification.
Long-Term Purchases - securities purchased with the expectation that the value of those securities will
grow over a relatively long period of time, generally greater than one year.
Risk: Using a long-term purchase strategy generally assumes the financial markets will go up in
the long-term which may not be the case. There is also the risk that the segment of the market
that you are invested in or perhaps just your particular investment will go down over time even if
the overall financial markets advance. Purchasing investments long-term may create an
opportunity cost - "locking-up" assets that may be better utilized in the short-term in other
investments.
Short-Term Purchases - securities purchased with the expectation that they will be sold within a
relatively short period of time, generally less than one year, to take advantage of the securities' short-
term price fluctuations.
Risk: Using a short-term purchase strategy generally assumes that we can predict how financial
markets will perform in the short-term which may be very difficult and will incur a disproportionately
higher amount of transaction costs compared to long-term trading. There are many factors that
can affect financial market performance in the short-term (such as short-term interest rate
changes, cyclical earnings announcements, etc.) but may have a smaller impact over longer
periods of times.
Margin Transactions - a securities transaction in which an investor borrows money to purchase a
security, in which case the security serves as collateral on the loan.
Risk: If the value of the shares drops sufficiently, the investor will be required to either deposit
more cash into the account or sell a portion of the stock in order to maintain the margin
requirements of the account. This is known as a "margin call." An investor's overall risk includes
the amount of money invested plus the amount that was loaned to them.
Option Writing - a securities transaction that involves selling an option. An option is a contract that
gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a particular security at a specified price
on or before the expiration date of the option. When an investor sells a call option, he or she must
deliver to the buyer a specified number of shares if the buyer exercises the option. When an investor
9
sells a put option, he or she must pay the strike price per share if the buyer exercises the option and
will receive the specified number of shares. The option writer/seller receives a premium (the market
price of the option at a particular time) in exchange for writing the option.
Risk: Options are complex investments and can be very risky, especially if the investor does not
own the underlying stock. In certain situations, an investor's risk can be unlimited.
Trading - We may use frequent trading (in general, selling securities within 30 days of purchasing the
same securities) as an investment strategy when managing your account(s). Frequent trading is not a
fundamental part of our overall investment strategy, but we may use this strategy occasionally when
we determine that it is suitable given your stated investment objectives and tolerance for risk. This may
include buying and selling securities frequently in an effort to capture significant market gains and
avoid significant losses.
Risk: When a frequent trading policy is in effect, there is a risk that investment performance within
your account may be negatively affected, particularly through increased brokerage and other
transactional costs and taxes.
Our investment strategies and advice may vary depending upon each client's specific financial
situation. As such, we determine investments and allocations based upon your predefined objectives,
risk tolerance, time horizon, financial information, liquidity needs and other various suitability factors.
Your restrictions and guidelines may affect the composition of your portfolio. It is important that you
notify us immediately with respect to any material changes to your financial circumstances,
including for example, a change in your current or expected income level, tax circumstances,
or employment status.
We will advise you on how to allocate your assets among various classes of securities or third party
money managers. We primarily rely on investment model portfolios, as well as primary models
developed in house, and strategies developed by the third party money managers and their portfolio
managers. We may replace/recommend replacing a third party money manager if there is a significant
deviation in characteristics or performance from the stated strategy and/or benchmark.
Tax Considerations
Our strategies and investments may have unique and significant tax implications. However, unless we
specifically agree otherwise, and in writing, tax efficiency is not our primary consideration in the
management of your assets. Regardless of your account size or any other factors, we strongly
recommend that you consult with a tax professional regarding the investing of your assets.
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that you should be prepared to bear. We do not represent or
guarantee that our services or methods of analysis can or will predict future results, successfully
identify market tops or bottoms, or insulate clients from losses due to market corrections or declines.
We cannot offer any guarantees or promises that your financial goals and objectives will be met. Past
performance is in no way an indication of future performance.
Other Risk Considerations
When evaluating risk, financial loss may be viewed differently by each client and may depend on many
different risks, each of which may affect the probability and magnitude of any potential losses. The
following risks may not be all-inclusive but should be considered carefully by a prospective client
before retaining our services.
• Liquidity Risk: The risk of being unable to sell your investment at a fair price at a given time
due to high volatility or lack of active liquid markets. You may receive a lower price, or it may
not be possible to sell the investment at all.
10
• Credit Risk: Credit risk typically applies to debt investments such as corporate, municipal, and
sovereign fixed income or bonds. A bond issuing entity can experience a credit event that could
impair or erase the value of an issuer's securities held by a client.
•
Inflation and Interest Rate Risk: Security prices and portfolio returns will likely vary in response
to changes in inflation and interest rates. Inflation causes the value of future dollars to be
worthless and may reduce the purchasing power of a client's future interest payments and
principal. Inflation also generally leads to higher interest rates which may cause the value of
many types of fixed income investments to decline.
• Horizon and Longevity Risk: The risk that your investment horizon is shortened because of an
unforeseen event, for example, the loss of your job. This may force you to sell investments that
you were expecting to hold for the long term. If you must sell at a time that the markets are
down, you may lose money. Longevity Risk is the risk of outliving your savings. This risk is
particularly relevant for people who are retired or are nearing retirement.
Recommendation of Particular Types of Securities
We recommend various types of securities and we do not primarily recommend one particular type of
security over another since each client has different needs and different tolerance for risk including but
limited to: fee-based variable annuities, individual stocks, bonds, money market funds, certificates of
deposit, municipal securities, limited partnerships, real estate investment trusts, structured products,
mutual funds, and exchange traded funds. Each type of security has its own unique set of risks
associated with it and it would not be possible to list here all of the specific risks of every type of
investment. Even within the same type of investment, risks can vary widely. However, in very general
terms, the higher the anticipated return of an investment, the higher the risk of loss associated with the
investment. A description of the types of securities we may recommend to you and some of their
inherent risks are provided below.
Money Market Funds - A money market fund is technically a security. The fund managers attempt to
keep the share price constant at $1 per share. However, there is no guarantee that the share price will
stay at $1 per share. If the share price goes down, you can lose some or all of your principal. The U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") notes that "While investor losses in money market
funds have been rare, they are possible." In return for this risk, you should earn a greater return on
your cash than you would expect from a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insured
savings account (money market funds are not FDIC insured). Next, money market fund rates are
variable. In other words, you do not know how much you will earn on your investment next month. The
rate could go up or go down. If it goes up, that may result in a positive outcome. However, if it goes
down and you earn less than you expected to earn, you may end up needing more cash. A final risk
you are taking with money market funds has to do with inflation. Because money market funds are
considered to be safer than other investments like stocks, long-term average returns on money market
funds tends to be less than long term average returns on riskier investments. Over long periods of
time, inflation can eat away at your returns.
Certificates of Deposit - Certificates of deposit ("CD") are generally a safe type of investment since
they are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company ("FDIC") up to a certain amount.
However, because the returns are generally low, there is risk that inflation outpaces the return of the
CD. Certain CDs are traded in the marketplace and not purchased directly from a banking institution.
In addition to trading risk, when CDs are purchased at a premium, the premium is not covered by the
FDIC.
Municipal Securities - Municipal securities, while generally thought of as safe, can have significant
risks associated with them including, but not limited to: the credit worthiness of the governmental entity
11
that issues the bond; the stability of the revenue stream that is used to pay the interest to the
bondholders; when the bond is due to mature; and, whether or not the bond can be "called" prior to
maturity. When a bond is called, it may not be possible to replace it with a bond of equal character
paying the same amount of interest or yield to maturity.
Bonds - Corporate debt securities (or "bonds") are typically safer investments than equity securities,
but their risk can also vary widely based on the financial health of the issuer; the risk that the issuer
might default; when the bond is set to mature; and, whether or not the bond can be "called" prior to
maturity. When a bond is called, it may not be possible to replace it with a bond of equal character
paying the same rate of return.
Stocks -There are numerous ways of measuring the risk of equity securities (also known simply as
"equities" or "stock"). In very broad terms, the value of a stock depends on the financial health of the
company issuing it. However, stock prices can be affected by many other factors including, but not
limited to the class of stock (for example, preferred or common); the health of the market sector of the
issuing company; and the overall health of the economy. In general, larger, better-established
companies ("large cap") tend to be safer than smaller start-up companies ("small cap") are but the
mere size of an issuer is not, by itself, an indicator of the safety of the investment.
Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds - Mutual funds and exchange traded funds ("ETF") are
professionally managed collective investment systems that pool money from many investors and invest
in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, other mutual funds, other securities, or any
combination thereof. The fund will have a manager that trades the fund's investments in accordance
with the fund's investment objective. While mutual funds and ETFs generally provide diversification,
risks can be significantly increased if the fund is concentrated in a particular sector of the market,
primarily invests in small cap or speculative companies, uses leverage (i.e., borrows money) to a
significant degree, or concentrates in a particular type of security (i.e., equities) rather than balancing
the fund with different types of securities. ETFs differ from mutual funds since they can be bought and
sold throughout the day like stock and their price can fluctuate throughout the day. The returns on
mutual funds and ETFs can be reduced by the costs to manage the funds. Also, while some mutual
funds are "no load" and charge no fee to buy into, or sell out of, the fund, other types of mutual funds
do charge such fees which can also reduce returns. Mutual funds can also be "closed end" or "open
end". So-called "open end" mutual funds continue to allow in new investors indefinitely whereas
"closed end" funds have a fixed number of shares to sell which can limit their availability to new
investors.
ETFs may have tracking error risks. For example, the ETF investment adviser may not be able to
cause the ETF's performance to match that of its Underlying Index or other benchmark, which may
negatively affect the ETF's performance. In addition, for leveraged and inverse ETFs that seek to track
the performance of their Underlying Indices or benchmarks on a daily basis, mathematical
compounding may prevent the ETF from correlating with performance of its benchmark. In addition, an
ETF may not have investment exposure to all of the securities included in its Underlying Index, or its
weighting of investment exposure to such securities may vary from that of the Underlying Index. Some
ETFs may invest in securities or financial instruments that are not included in the Underlying Index, but
which are expected to yield similar performance.
Leveraged Exchange Traded Funds - Leveraged Exchange Traded Funds ("Leveraged ETFs" or "L-
ETF") seeks investment results for a single day only, not for longer periods. A "single day" is measured
from the time the L-ETF calculates its net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the L-ETF's next NAV
calculation. The return of the L-ETF for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day's
returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from multiplying the return by the
stated leverage for that period. For periods longer than a single day, the L-ETF will lose money when
the level of the Index is flat, and it is possible that the L-ETF will lose money even if the level of the
12
Index rises. Longer holding periods, higher index volatility and greater leverage both exacerbate the
impact of compounding on an investor's returns. During periods of higher Index volatility, the volatility
of the Index may affect the L-ETF's return as much as or more than the return of the Index. Leveraged
ETFs are different from most exchange-traded funds in that they seek leveraged returns relative to the
applicable index and only on a daily basis. The L-ETF also is riskier than similarly benchmarked
exchange-traded funds that do not use leverage. Accordingly, the L-ETF may not be suitable for all
investors and should be used only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential
consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results.
• Leveraged ETF Leveraged Risk - The L-ETF obtains investment exposure in excess of its
assets in seeking to achieve its investment objective — a form of leverage — and will lose more
money in market environments adverse to its daily objective than a similar fund that does not
employ such leverage. The use of such leverage could result in the total loss of an investor's
investment. For example: a 2X fund will have a multiplier of two times (2x) the Index. A single
day movement in the Index approaching 50% at any point in the day could result in the total
loss of a shareholder's investment if that movement is contrary to the investment objective of
the L-ETF, even if the Index subsequently moves in an opposite direction, eliminating all or a
portion of the earlier movement. This would be the case with any such single day movements in
the Index, even if the Index maintains a level greater than zero at all times.
• Leveraged ETF Compounding Risk - Compounding affects all investments but has a more
significant impact on a leveraged fund. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility,
compounding will cause results for periods longer than a single day to vary from the stated
multiplier of the return of the Index. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility
increases.
• Leveraged ETF Use of Derivatives - The L-ETF obtains investment exposure through
derivatives. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the L-ETF
to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives.
These risks include counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as
discussed below). When the L-ETF uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation
between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the L-ETF
from achieving its investment objective. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives also may expose the L-ETF to losses in excess of those
amounts initially invested. The L-ETF may use a combination of swaps on the Index and swaps
on an ETF that is designed to track the performance of the Index. The performance of an ETF
may not track the performance of the Index due to embedded costs and other factors. Thus, to
the extent the L-ETF invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the L-ETF may
be subject to greater correlation risk and may not achieve as high a degree of correlation with
the Index as it would if the L-ETF only used swaps on the Index. Moreover, with respect to the
use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material
decline in the L-ETF's net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the L-ETF and its
counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the L-
ETF. In that event, the L-ETF may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in
other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure consistent with the L-ETF's investment
objective. This, in turn, may prevent the L-ETF from achieving its investment objective, even if
the Index reverses all or a portion of its intraday move by the end of the day. Any costs
associated with using derivatives will also have the effect of lowering the L-ETF's return.
Variable Annuities - A variable annuity is a form of insurance where the seller or issuer (typically an
insurance company) makes a series of future payments to a buyer (annuitant) in exchange for the
immediate payment of a lump sum (single-payment annuity) or a series of regular payments (regular-
payment annuity). The payment stream from the issuer to the annuitant has an unknown duration
13
based principally upon the date of death of the annuitant. At this point, the contract will terminate, and
the remainder of the funds accumulated forfeited unless there are other annuitants or beneficiaries in
the contract. Annuities can be purchased to provide an income during retirement. Unlike fixed annuities
that make payments in fixed amounts or in amounts that increase by a fixed percentage, variable
annuities pay amounts that vary according to the performance of a specified set of investments,
typically bond and equity mutual funds. Many variable annuities typically impose asset-based sales
charges or surrender charges for withdrawals within a specified period. Variable annuities may impose
a variety of fees and expenses, in addition to sales and surrender charges, such as mortality and
expense risk charges; administrative fees; underlying fund expenses; and charges for specific
features, all of which can reduce the return. Earnings in a variable annuity do not provide all the tax
advantages of 401(k)s and other before-tax retirement plans. Once the investor starts withdrawing
money from their variable annuity, earnings are taxed at the ordinary income rate, rather than at the
lower capital gains rates applied to other non-tax-deferred vehicles which are held for more than one
year. Proceeds of most variable annuities do not receive a "step-up" in cost basis when the owner dies
like stocks, bonds and mutual funds do. Some variable annuities offer "bonus credits." These are
usually not free. In order to fund them, insurance companies typically impose mortality and expense
charges and surrender charge periods. In an exchange of an existing annuity for a new annuity (so-
called 1035 exchanges), the new variable annuity may have a lower contract value and a smaller
death benefit; may impose new surrender charges or increase the period of time for which the
surrender charge applies; may have higher annual fees; and provide another commission for the
broker.
Real Estate - Real estate is increasingly being used as part of a long-term core strategy due to
increased market efficiency and increasing concerns about the future long-term variability of stock and
bond returns. In fact, real estate is known for its ability to serve as a portfolio diversifier and inflation
hedge. However, the asset class still bears a considerable amount of market risk. Real estate has
shown itself to be very cyclical, somewhat mirroring the ups and downs of the overall economy. In
addition to employment and demographic changes, real estate is also influenced by changes in
interest rates and the credit markets, which affect the demand and supply of capital and thus real
estate values. Along with changes in market fundamentals, investors wishing to add real estate as part
of their core investment portfolios need to look for property concentrations by area or by property type.
Because property returns are directly affected by local market basics, real estate portfolios that are too
heavily concentrated in one area or property type can lose their risk mitigation attributes and bear
additional risk by being too influenced by local or sector market changes.
Real Estate Investment Trust: - A real estate investment trust ("REIT") is a corporate entity which
invests in real estate and/or engages in real estate financing. A REIT reduces or eliminates corporate
income taxes. REITs can be publicly or privately held. Public REITs may be listed on public stock
exchanges. REITs are required to declare 90% of their taxable income as dividends, but they actually
pay dividends out of funds from operations, so cash flow has to be strong or the REIT must either dip
into reserves, borrow to pay dividends, or distribute them in stock (which causes dilution). After 2012,
the IRS stopped permitting stock dividends. Most REITs must refinance or erase large balloon debts
periodically. The credit markets are no longer frozen, but banks are demanding, and getting, harsher
terms to re-extend REIT debt. Some REITs may be forced to make secondary stock offerings to repay
debt, which will lead to additional dilution of the stockholders. Fluctuations in the real estate market can
affect the REIT's value and dividends.
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 has management authority and
unlimited liability. 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 their
liability is limited to the amount of their capital commitment. Profits are divided between general and
14
limited partners according to an arrangement formed at the creation of the partnership. The range of
risks is dependent on the nature of the partnership and disclosed in the offering documents if privately
placed. Publicly traded limited partnerships have similar risk attributes to equities. However, like
privately placed limited partnerships their tax treatment is under a different tax regime from equities.
You should speak to your tax adviser in regard to their tax treatment.
Private Placements: A private placement (non-public offering) is the non-public sale of illiquid securities
to individuals or entities that offer for sale equity shares, common or preferred stocks, or debt
instruments that are not publicly traded. Securities offered through a private placement are not
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Private Placements are offered through
exemptions from registration specified in Regulation D and if certain conditions are met. Regulation D
offers a "safe harbor" for exemption from registration with the SEC. Companies that comply with the
requirements do not have to register their offering with the SEC, but they must file a Form D. However,
issuers must comply with state securities laws and regulations in the states in which the securities are
offered or sold. Each state's securities laws have their own registration requirements and exemptions
from registration. These securities are generally made available to accredited investors. An accredited
investor is any person whose net worth exceeds $2,100,000 (excluding their residence), or
alternatively who has income in excess of $200,000 per year ($300,000 jointly with a spouse) for the
two most recent years. Private placements generally carry a higher degree of risk due to illiquidity.
Most securities that are acquired in a private placement will be restricted securities and must be held
for an extended amount of time and therefore cannot be sold easily. Unlike registered offerings in
which certain information is required to be disclosed, it may be more difficult to obtain information
about the company as the Private Placement Memorandum generally provides limited information
concerning a company and its financials.
Options Contracts - Options are complex securities that involve risks and are not suitable for everyone.
Option trading can be speculative in nature and carry substantial risk of loss. It is generally
recommended that you only invest in options with risk capital. An option is a contract that gives the
buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price on or before
a certain date (the "expiration date"). The two types of options are calls and puts:
A call gives the holder the right to buy an asset at a certain price within a specific period of time. Calls
are similar to having a long position on a stock. Buyers of calls hope that the stock will increase
substantially before the option expires.
A put gives the holder the right to sell an asset at a certain price within a specific period of time. Puts
are very similar to having a short position on a stock. Buyers of puts hope that the price of the stock
will fall before the option expires.
Selling options is more complicated and can be even riskier.
The option trading risks pertaining to options buyers are:
• Risk of losing your entire investment in a relatively short period of time.
• The risk of losing your entire investment increases if, as expiration nears, the stock is below the
strike price of the call (for a call option) or if the stock is higher than the strike price of the put
(for a put option).
• European style options which do not have secondary markets on which to sell the options prior
to expiration can only realize its value upon expiration.
• Specific exercise provisions of a specific option contract may create risks.
• Regulatory agencies may impose exercise restrictions, which stops you from realizing value.
The option trading risks pertaining to options sellers are:
15
• Options sold may be exercised at any time before expiration.
• Covered Call traders forgo the right to profit when the underlying stock rises above the strike
price of the call options sold and continue to risk a loss due to a decline in the underlying
stock.
• Writers of Naked Calls risk unlimited losses if the underlying stock rises.
• Writers of Naked Puts risk unlimited losses if the underlying stock drops.
• Writers of naked positions run margin risks if the position goes into significant losses. Such
risks may include liquidation by the broker.
• Writers of call options could lose more money than a short seller of that stock could on the
same rise on that underlying stock. This is an example of how the leverage in options can work
against the option trader.
• Writers of Naked Calls are obligated to deliver shares of the underlying stock if those call
options are exercised.
• Call options can be exercised outside of market hours such that effective remedy actions
cannot be performed by the writer of those options.
• Writers of stock options are obligated under the options that they sold even if a trading market
is not available or that they are unable to perform a closing transaction.
• The value of the underlying stock may surge or ditch unexpectedly, leading to automatic
exercises.
Other option trading risks are:
• The complexity of some option strategies is a significant risk on its own.
• Option trading exchanges or markets and option contracts themselves are open to changes at
all times.
• Options markets have the right to halt the trading of any options, thus preventing investors from
realizing value.
• Risk of erroneous reporting of exercise value.
•
•
If an options brokerage firm goes insolvent, investors trading through that firm may be affected.
Internationally traded options have special risks due to timing across borders.
Risks that are not specific to options trading include market risk, sector risk and individual stock risk.
Option trading risks are closely related to stock risks, as stock options are a derivative of stocks.
Derivatives - Derivatives are types of investments where the investor does not own the underlying
asset. There are many different types of derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, options,
swaps, futures, and forward contracts. Derivatives have numerous uses as well as various risks
associated with them, but they are generally considered an alternative way to participate in the market.
Investors typically use derivatives for three reasons: to hedge a position, to increase leverage, or to
speculate on an asset's movement. The key to making a sound investment is to fully understand the
characteristics and risks associated with the derivative, including, but not limited to counterparty,
underlying asset, price, and expiration risks. The use of a derivative only makes sense if the investor is
fully aware of the risks and understands the impact of the investment within a portfolio strategy. Due to
the variety of available derivatives and the range of potential risks, a detailed explanation of derivatives
is beyond the scope of this disclosure.
Structured Products - A structured product, also known as a market-linked product, is generally a pre-
packaged investment strategy based on derivatives, such as a single security, a basket of securities,
options, indices, commodities, debt issuances, and/or foreign currencies, and to a lesser extent,
swaps. Structured products are usually issued by investment banks or affiliates thereof. They have a
fixed maturity and have two components: a note and a derivative. The derivative component is often
an option. The note provides for periodic interest payments to the investor at a predetermined rate, and
16
the derivative component provides for the payment at maturity. Some products use the derivative
component as a put option written by the investor that gives the buyer of the put option the right to sell
to the investor the security or securities at a predetermined price. Other products use the derivative
component to provide a call option written by the investor that gives the buyer of the call option the
right to buy the security or securities from the investor at a predetermined price. A feature of some
structured products is a "principal guarantee" function, which offers protection of principal if held to
maturity. However, these products are not always Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured; they
may only be insured by the issuer, and thus have the potential for loss of principal in the case of a
liquidity crisis, or other solvency problems with the issuing company. Investing in structured products
involves a number of risks including but not limited to: fluctuations in the price, level or yield of
underlying instruments, interest rates, currency values and credit quality; substantial loss of principal;
limits on participation in any appreciation of the underlying instrument; limited liquidity; credit risk of the
issuer; conflicts of interest; and, other events that are difficult to predict.
Item 9 Disciplinary Information
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 required
disclosures under this item.
Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Licensed Insurance Agents
Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm may be licensed as insurance agents. These
individuals would earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including
insurance products they sell to you. Insurance commissions earned by these individuals are separate

on the compensation received by insurance agents who are affiliated with our firm. As part of our
portfolio management services, we may also offer variable universal life (VUL) insurance products, life,
long term care, and disability insurance products through relationships with a Brokerage General
Agency. Representatives of the firm may receive commissions through these engagements.
Recommendation of Other Advisers
We may recommend that you use a third-party money manager ("TPMM") based on your needs and
suitability. We will not receive separate compensation, directly or indirectly, from the TPMM for
recommending that you use their services. Moreover, we do not have any other business relationships
with the recommended TPMM(s). Refer to the Advisory Business section above for additional
disclosures on this topic.

Item 11 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
Description of Our Code of Ethics
We strive to comply with applicable laws and regulations governing our practices. Therefore, our Code
of Ethics includes guidelines for professional standards of conduct for persons associated with our
firm. Our goal is to protect your interests at all times and to demonstrate our commitment to our
fiduciary duties of honesty, good faith, and fair dealing with you. All persons associated with our firm
are expected to adhere strictly to these guidelines. Persons associated with our firm are also required
to report any violations of our Code of Ethics. Additionally, we maintain and enforce written policies
reasonably designed to prevent the misuse or dissemination of material, non-public information about
you or your account holdings by persons associated with our firm.
Clients or prospective clients may obtain a copy of our Code of Ethics by contacting us at the
telephone number on the cover page of this brochure.
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.
Aggregated Trading
Our firm or persons associated with our firm may buy or sell securities for you at the same time we or
persons associated with our firm buy or sell such securities for our own account. We may also combine
our orders to purchase securities with your orders to purchase securities ("aggregated trading"). Refer
to the Brokerage Practices section in this brochure for information on our aggregated trading practices.
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 eliminate 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 recommend the brokerage and custodial services of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (whether one or
more "Custodian"). Your assets must be maintained in an account at a "qualified custodian," generally
a broker-dealer or bank. In recognition of the value of the services the Custodian provides, you may
pay higher commissions and/or trading costs than those that may be available elsewhere.
18
We seek to recommend a custodian/broker that will hold your assets and execute transactions on
terms that are, overall, the most favorable compared to other available providers and their services.
We consider various factors, including:
• Capability to buy and sell securities for your account itself or to facilitate such services.
• The likelihood that your trades will be executed.
• Availability of investment research and tools.
• Overall quality of services.
• Competitiveness of price.
• Reputation, financial strength, and stability.
• Existing relationship with our firm and our other clients.
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
We do not have any soft dollar arrangements.
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. Schwab's commission rates and/or asset-based fees applicable
to our client accounts were negotiated based on our commitment to maintain $250 million of our
clients' assets statement equity 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 Adviser 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 don't have to request them) and at no charge to us.
Services that Benefit You
Schwab's institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products,
19
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 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;
•
• provide pricing and other market data; facilitate payment of our fees from our clients'
accounts; and
• 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; and
• discount of up to $4,250 on PortfolioCenter® Reporting Software.
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. These services 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 our client's assets at Schwab for services 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
We do not routinely recommend, request or require that you direct us to execute transactions through a
20
specified broker dealer. Additionally, we typically do not permit you to direct brokerage. We place
trades for your account subject to our duty to seek best execution and other fiduciary duties.
Held Away Accounts
One + One Wealth Management will use Pontera, a third-party service provider, for accounts not
directly held with our recommended custodian. One + One Wealth Management does not have access
to client credentials, client assets, or the ability to withdraw/transfer funds and therefore we do not
have custody. We will periodically review these accounts and make changes on behalf of our clients in
accordance with investment options and firm strategies, if necessary. The client does not pay an
additional fee for Pontera. Fees will be based upon your negotiated fee in accordance to our portfolio
management fee schedule and your Agreement. Refer to Item 4- Portfolio Management, Item 5 - Fees
and Compensation, Item 13- Review of Accounts and Item 15- Custody for further information.
Aggregated Trades
We combine multiple orders for shares of the same securities purchased for discretionary advisory
accounts we manage (this practice is commonly referred to as "aggregated trading"). We will then
distribute a portion of the shares to participating accounts in a fair and equitable manner. Generally,
participating accounts will pay a fixed transaction cost regardless of the number of shares transacted.
In certain cases, each participating account pays an average price per share for all transactions and
pays a proportionate share of all transaction costs on any given day. In the event an order is only
partially filled, the shares will be allocated to participating accounts in a fair and equitable manner,
typically in proportion to the size of each client's order. Accounts owned by our firm or persons
associated with our firm may participate in aggregated trading with your accounts; however, they will
not be given preferential treatment.
We do not aggregate trades for non-discretionary accounts. Accordingly, non-discretionary accounts
may pay different costs than discretionary accounts pay. If you enter into non-discretionary
arrangements with our firm, 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 clients who enter into
discretionary arrangements with our firm.
Mutual Fund Share Classes
Mutual funds are sold with different share classes, which carry different cost structures. Each available
share class is described in the mutual fund's prospectus. When we purchase, or recommend the
purchase of, mutual funds for a client, we select the share class that is deemed to be in the client's
best interest, taking into consideration cost, tax implications, and other factors. When the fund is
available for purchase at net asset value, we will purchase, or recommend the purchase of, the fund at
net asset value. We also review the mutual funds held in accounts that come under our management
to determine whether a more beneficial share class is available, considering cost, tax implications, and
the impact of contingent deferred sales charges.
Item 13 Review of Accounts
Portfolio Management Reviews
Keith Dubauskas (Managing Partner and CCO), Frank Maurno, (Managing Partner), Carolyn
Sipperley, Eric Breitenbach, and David Bone (Investment Advisor Representatives) will monitor your
accounts on an ongoing basis and will conduct account reviews at least annually, to ensure the
advisory services provided to you are consistent with your investment needs and objectives. Additional
reviews may be conducted based on various circumstances, including, but not limited to: contributions
and withdrawals; year-end tax planning; market moving events; security specific events, and/or
changes in your risk/return objectives.
We will provide you with additional or regular written reports in conjunction with account reviews.
21
Reports we provide to you will contain relevant account and/or market-related information such as an
inventory of account holdings and account performance, etc. You will receive trade confirmations and
monthly or quarterly statements from your account custodian(s).
Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab Advisor Services)
In addition, we receive an economic benefit from Schwab Advisor Services ("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 may be licensed insurance agents. For information on the conflicts of
interest this presents, and how we address these conflicts, refer to the Fees and Compensation
section.
Promoters
Our firm may engage in promoter arrangements for client referrals. These individual promoters offer
our services to the public. The Firm pays a referral fee to the promoter based on a portion of the
management fees charged by the Firm or a fixed fee and will be memorialized in a written agreement
(“Promoter Agreement”). In all cases, the Firm will comply with the cash solicitation rules established
by the SEC, state regulators and the client disclosure requirements. If a referred prospective client
enters into an investment advisory agreement with the Firm, a referral fee is paid to the referring party.
The referral relationship will not result in clients being charged any fees over and above the normal
advisory fees charged for the advisory services provided. The Firm will pay the promoter their share of
the total fee. The Promoter Agreement requires that the promoter be appropriately registered under
federal and state securities laws where applicable. Clients receive all related agreements and
disclosures prior to or at the time of entering into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Firm.
Item 15 Custody
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 qualified custodian. You will receive account statements from the 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.
Trustee Services
Persons associated with our firm may serve as trustees to certain accounts for which we also provide
investment advisory services. In all cases, the persons associated with our firm have been appointed
trustee as a result of a family or personal relationship with the trust grantor and/or beneficiary and not
as a result of employment with our firm. Therefore, we are not deemed to have custody over the
advisory accounts for which persons associated with our firm serve as trustee.
Wire Transfer and/or Standing Letter of Authorization
Our firm, or persons associated with our firm, may affect wire transfers from client accounts to one or
22
more third parties designated, in writing, by the client without obtaining written client consent for each
separate, individual transaction, as long as the client has provided us with written authorization to do
so. Such written authorization is known as a Standing Letter of Authorization. An adviser with authority
to conduct such third party wire transfers has access to the client's assets, and therefore has custody
of the client's assets in any related accounts.
However, we do not have to obtain a surprise annual audit, as we otherwise would be required to by
reason of having custody, as long as we meet the following criteria:
1. You provide a written, signed instruction to the qualified custodian that includes the third party's
name and address or account number at a custodian;
2. You authorize us in writing to direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or
from time to time;
3. Your qualified custodian verifies your authorization (e.g., signature review) and provides a
transfer of funds notice to you promptly after each transfer;
4. You can terminate or change the instruction;
5. We have no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third party, the
address, or any other information about the third party;
6. We maintain records showing that the third party is not a related party to us nor located at the
same address as us; and
7. Your qualified custodian sends you, in writing, an initial notice confirming the instruction and an
annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
We hereby confirm that we meet the above criteria.
Item 16 Investment Discretion
Before we can buy or sell securities on your behalf, you must first sign our discretionary management
agreement and the appropriate trading authorization forms.
You may grant our firm 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. 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. Refer to the Advisory
Business section in this brochure for more information on our discretionary management services.
If you enter into non-discretionary arrangements with our firm, we will obtain your approval prior to the
execution of any transactions for your account(s). You have an unrestricted right to decline to
implement any advice provided by our firm on a non-discretionary basis.
Item 17 Voting Client Securities
We will not vote proxies on behalf of your advisory accounts. 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
23
would forward any electronic solicitations to vote proxies.
Item 18 Financial Information
Our firm does not have any financial condition or impairment that would prevent us from meeting our
contractual commitments to you. We do not take physical custody of client funds or securities, or serve
as trustee or signatory for client accounts, and we do not require the prepayment of more than $1,200
in fees six or more months in advance. Therefore, we are not required to include a financial statement
with this brochure.
We have not filed a bankruptcy petition at any time in the past ten years.
Item 19 Requirements for State-Registered Advisers
We are a federally registered investment adviser; therefore, we are not required to respond to this
item.
Item 20 Additional Information
Trade Errors
From time to time, One Plus One Wealth Management can make an error in submitting a trade order
on your behalf. When this occurs, One Plus One Wealth Management will place a correcting trade with
the broker-dealer which has custody of your account. If an investment gain results from the correcting
trade, the gain will remain in your account unless the same error involved other client account(s) that
should have received the gain, it is not permissible for you to retain the gain, or we confer with you and
you decide to forego the gain (e.g., due to tax reasons). If the gain does not remain in your account
and Charles Schwab & Co. Inc. ("Schwab") is the custodian, Schwab will donate the amount of any
gain $100 and over to charity. If a loss occurs greater than $100, One Plus One Wealth Management
will pay for the loss. Schwab will maintain the loss or gain (if such gain is not retained in your account)
if it is under $100 to minimize and offset its administrative time and expense. Generally, if related trade
errors result in both gains and losses in your account, they may be netted.
Class Action Lawsuits
We do not determine if securities held by you are the subject of a class action lawsuit or whether you
are eligible to participate in class action settlements or litigation nor do we initiate or participate in
litigation to recover damages on your behalf for injuries as a result of actions, misconduct, or
negligence by issuers of securities held by you.
IRA Rollover Considerations
As part of our investment advisory services to you, we may recommend that you withdraw the assets
from your employer's retirement plan and roll the assets over to an individual retirement account
("IRA") that we will manage on your behalf. If you elect to roll the assets to an IRA that is subject to our
management, we will charge you an asset-based fee as set forth in the agreement you executed with
our firm. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice on
our behalf have an incentive to recommend a rollover to you for the purpose of generating fee-based
compensation rather than solely based on your needs. You are under no obligation, contractually or
otherwise, to complete the rollover. Moreover, if you do complete the rollover, you are under no
obligation to have the assets in an IRA managed by our firm.
Many employers permit former employees to keep their retirement assets in their company plan. Also,
current employees can sometimes move assets out of their company plan before they retire or change
jobs. In determining whether to complete the rollover to an IRA, and to the extent the following options
24
are available, you should consider the costs and benefits of:
1. Leaving the funds in your employer's (former employer's) plan.
2. Moving the funds to a new employer's retirement plan.
3. Cashing out and taking a taxable distribution from the plan.
4. Rolling the funds into an IRA rollover account.
Each of these options has advantages and disadvantages and before making a change we encourage
you to speak with your CPA and/or tax attorney.
If you are considering rolling over your retirement funds to an IRA for us to manage here are a few
points to consider before you do so:
1. Determine whether the investment options in your employer's retirement plan address your
needs or whether you might want to consider other types of investments.
a. Employer retirement plans generally have a more limited investment menu than IRAs.
b. Employer retirement plans may have unique investment options not available to the
public such as employer securities, or previously closed funds.
2. Your current plan may have lower fees than our fees.
a. If you are interested in investing only in mutual funds, you should understand the cost
structure of the share classes available in your employer's retirement plan and how the
costs of those share classes compare with those available in an IRA.
b. You should understand the various products and services you might take advantage of
at an IRA provider and the potential costs of those products and services.
3. Our strategy may have higher risk than the option(s) provided to you in your plan.
4. Your current plan may also offer financial advice.
5. If you keep your assets titled in a 401k or retirement account, you could potentially delay your
required minimum distribution beyond the required age.
6. Your 401k may offer more liability protection than a rollover IRA; each state may vary.
a. Generally, federal law protects assets in qualified plans from creditors. Since 2005, IRA
assets have been generally protected from creditors in bankruptcies. However, there
can be some exceptions to the general rules so you should consult with an attorney if
you are concerned about protecting your retirement plan assets from creditors.
7. You may be able to take out a loan on your 401k, but not from an IRA.
8. IRA assets can be accessed any time; however, distributions are subject to ordinary income tax
and may also be subject to a 10% early distribution penalty unless they qualify for an exception
such as disability, higher education expenses or the purchase of a home.
9. If you own company stock in your plan, you may be able to liquidate those shares at a lower
capital gains tax rate.
10. Your plan may allow you to hire us as the manager and keep the assets titled in the plan name.
It is important that you understand the differences between these types of accounts and to decide
whether a rollover is best for you. Prior to proceeding, if you have questions contact your investment
adviser representative, or call our main number as listed on the cover page of this brochure.
