Item 4: Advisory Business
A. One Wealth Management Investment and Advisory Services, LLC (the “Adviser,” “we,” “us,” or
“our”) doing business as One Wealth Investors is an investment adviser founded in 2017,
registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and principally owned by
Jordan Linn.
We offer services through various investment adviser representatives (“Advisory Persons”).
Certain Advisory Persons utilize separate business names that are used for marketing purposes
and may appear on marketing materials or client statements. The client should understand that
business names belong to the applicable Advisory Person and not the Adviser. Advisory Persons
are under our supervision, and the advisory or solicitation services of Advisory Persons are
provided through us.
B. Adviser provides Clients with a broad range of investment advisory services, primarily to
individuals and their retirement trusts. We primarily provide advice with respect to accounts
directed by Advisory Persons as described below. From time to time, however, we recommend
the use of independent and unaffiliated third-party money managers and platforms (“Independent
Managers”) and may also provide financial planning services for a fee either directly or through a
custodian’s program. Such services consist of comprehensive financial planning and
discretionary and nondiscretionary asset management services. In order to create a
comprehensive wealth management strategy, Adviser will typically integrate financial planning,
asset management services and non investment related matters such as estate planning, tax
planning, insurance planning, family education, philanthropic planning, and other components of
financial planning.
i.
Financial Planning Services - Adviser provides a variety of financial planning services to
individuals and families either as part of its comprehensive wealth management services
or pursuant to a written financial planning agreement. Services are offered in several
areas of a client’s financial situation, depending on their goals and objectives. Generally,
such financial planning services will involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a
financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning
may encompass one or more areas of need, including, but not limited to investment
planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance needs,
and other areas of a client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for the Client will usually include general recommendations for
a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs,
commence or alter retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable
giving programs. Adviser may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other
specialist, as appropriate for their unique situation. For certain financial planning
engagements, the Adviser will provide a written summary of Client’s financial situation,
observations, and recommendations, while for others, the Adviser may not provide a
written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six months of
contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Adviser
and the interests of the Client. For example, the Adviser has an incentive to recommend
that Clients engage the Adviser for asset management services or to increase the level
of investment assets with the Adviser, as it would increase the amount of advisory fees
paid to the Adviser. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made
by the Adviser or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Adviser. If the Client elects to
Page 4 of 28
Date of Brochure: October 16, 2025
act on any of the recommendations made by the Adviser, the Client is under no obligation
to implement the transaction through the Adviser.
ii.
Asset Management Services - Adviser works with each Client to identify their investment
goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create an
investment strategy and create a portfolio of investments. The Adviser will then develop a
strategic asset allocation based on the Client’s investment objectives, conducting due
diligence on managers across the spectrum of investment strategies, selecting managers
to implement the allocation internally developed, and providing ongoing monitoring of the
investments. Adviser may utilize one or more unaffiliated investment managers or
investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) to assist in the management
of Client assets.
For its high-net-worth clients, Adviser may recommend investments into unaffiliated
private investment vehicles, which may in turn invest in real estate properties, real
estate mortgages, private equity, venture capital or other investments and areas. Private
investments may be recommended to Clients only under certain conditions if the
respective investment is appropriate for the Client. Assets invested into a private
investment are invested in accordance with the respective investment’s offering
documents. Private investments generally require that all investors meet the definition of
“accredited investors”, and/or also require investors to be “qualified purchasers” within
the meaning of Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act. These
investments generally require a minimum investment in the amount of $100,000. Clients
invested in a private investment should consult the offering documents for information
regarding its investment program, limitations on withdrawal, and risk factors.
Adviser’s investment management approach is primarily long-term focused, but the
Adviser may buy, sell or re-allocate positions that have been held for less than one year
to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. Adviser will construct,
implement and monitor the investment strategy to ensure it meets the goals, objectives,
circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the
opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their
respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Adviser.
Adviser evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client investment portfolios
only after applying its internal due diligence process. Adviser may recommend, on
occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. Adviser may
recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Adviser
may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market
movement. Adviser may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are
not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a
specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position(s)
in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client
needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
iii.
Use of Independent Managers - When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, Adviser
will recommend that a Client utilize one or more investment sub-advisers (“Independent
Managers”) for all or a portfolio of a Client’s investment portfolio. In such instances, the
Client will generally enter into an advisory agreement with the Independent Manager(s)
that defines the terms in which the Independent Manager(s) will provide investment
management and related services. Adviser may also assist in the development of the
initial policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. Adviser will
perform initial and ongoing oversight and due diligence over the selected Independent
Manager(s) to ensure the Independent Managers’ strategies and target allocations
remain aligned with its clients’ investment objectives and overall best interests. The
Page 5 of 28
Date of Brochure: October 16, 2025
Client, prior to entering into an agreement with an Independent Manager, will be provided
with the Investment Manager’s Form ADV Part 2A and Part 2B (or a brochure that makes
the appropriate disclosures).
iv.
Use of Turnkey Asset Management Platforms - From time to time Adviser recommends
and/or selects one or more Turnkey Asset Management Platforms (“TAMPs”) to handle
all or a portion of the asset management process. TAMPs typically provide technology,
investment research, portfolio management and other outsourcing services. TAMPs
generally provide services that enable Advisers to integrate multiple providers, programs,
products, and custodians. Adviser currently offers advisory services through TAMPs
sponsored by, among others: Townsquare Capital, LLC. Adviser may offer the advisory
services of other TAMPs in the future. For more information regarding these programs,
including additional information on the advisory services and fees that are applicable, the
types of investments available in the programs and the potential conflicts of interest
presented by the programs, please refer to the information we or the applicable TAMP
provides (including, but not limited to, the applicable TAMP’s brochure and agreements).
v.
Crystal Capital Partners, LLC - Through a relationship with Crystal Capital Partners, LLC
(“Crystal”) we provide certain qualified clients with customized private equity and hedge
fund portfolios. Crystal specializes in building customized portfolios that help complement
the existing holdings of client investments. With Crystal’s services, we will have access to
top tier private equity and hedge fund managers, detailed analytics, reporting and
comprehensive due diligence previously only available to the largest institutions. Most
customized accounts will be invested with investment managers or investment funds
through a series fund organized by Crystal. The investment managers and investment
funds that we recommend will be selected from a list that has been developed by Crystal,
based on its quantitative and qualitative research of the managers and funds. After a
client approves the customized portfolio that we recommend, the client will invest in a
series or portfolio of a fund that is managed by Crystal (“Crystal Fund”). The Crystal Fund
is a private investment fund that has several segregated portfolios. Each portfolio is a
separate pool of assets constituting a separate fund with its own investment objectives
and policies.
C. Prior to engaging Adviser to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter
into one or more agreements with the Adviser that define the terms, conditions, authority and
responsibilities of the Adviser and the Client. When managing assets on a discretionary basis, the
Adviser will retain the discretion to buy, sell, or otherwise transact in securities and other
investments in a client’s accounts without first receiving the client’s specific approval for each
transaction. Such discretionary authority is granted by a client in his or her investment
management agreement with Adviser. When managing assets on a non-discretionary basis, the
Adviser will not be granted the discretion to buy, sell, or otherwise transact in securities and other
investments in a client’s accounts, and may do so only upon receiving the client’s specific
approval for each transaction.
D. Adviser does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
E. When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts
with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest
and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
Page 6 of 28
Date of Brochure: October 16, 2025
i. Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
ii.
iii.
iv.
prudent advice);
Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give
loyal advice);
Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your
best interest;
Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
v.
vi. Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
F. As of December 31, 2024, Adviser had regulatory assets under management of $153,167,185.
This includes $139,153,835on a discretionary basis and $14,013,350on a non-discretionary
basis. After adding in applicable Client personal property, outside investments, and other real
assets for which the Adviser renders advice (but does not otherwise meet the definition of
“regulatory assets under management”), Adviser had a combined assets under advisement and
regulatory assets under management of approximately $179,242,128.
Assets under advisement include non-GAAP accounting assets and values that are derived from
information provided by the Clients we represent and are not verified by Adviser. Clients may
request more current information at any time by contacting the Adviser.

Date of Brochure: October 16, 2025
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by
the Adviser. Each Client engaging the Adviser for services described herein shall be required to enter into
one or more agreements with the Adviser.
A. Advisory Fees for Asset Management Services
The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management and
advisement with the Adviser. We apply our management fee to all assets for which we render
advice. Additionally, fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Adviser and the Adviser
may charge a lesser fee based upon criteria, such as, but not limited to, anticipated future earning
capacity, anticipated future assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, and
other factors. Fee calculations include cash balances invested in money market funds, short-term
investment funds, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds, the entire market value of
margined assets and short positions (if any), private investments (if any), digital assets (e.g.,
cryptocurrencies), and all other investment holdings. The exact services and fees will be agreed
upon and disclosed in the agreement for services prior to services being provided. Fees and how
they are charged may be negotiable based on factors such as the client’s financial situation and
circumstances, the amount of assets under management, and the overall complexity of the
services provided.
To the extent that margin is employed in the management of the client’s investment portfolio, the
market value of the client’s account will be increased. Therefore, the corresponding fee payable
by the client to us will be increased because we include the margin balance in the client’s overall
management fee calculation. As a result, in addition to understanding and assuming the
additional principal risks associated with the use of margin, clients authorizing margin are advised
of the conflict of interest between us and the client whereby we may encourage the use of margin
because it will increase the management fee payable to us. We mitigate this conflict of interest
by allowing margin accounts only when requested by the client and/or when using margin would
be beneficial for client’s overall circumstances.
Valuation
All assets managed by Adviser will be independently valued by the Custodian, investment
manager or sponsor. Adviser will not have the authority or responsibility to value any private
investments or securities.
The Value of liquid investments will be determined on the last day of the previous month, using
values shown on the client’s brokerage statements. The value of illiquid and difficult to value
assets (e.g., real estate, hedge funds, private equity, venture capital and direct investments, etc.)
will be determined either based on the valuation ascribed at the time of the client’s most recent
capital contribution or using the most recent report if provided by the investment manager or
sponsor, whichever is lower. The asset management fees that apply to illiquid and difficult to
value assets are automatically deducted from the cash portion of the client’s brokerage
account(s) according to the asset-based fee schedule above, and payable monthly in arrears
based on the valuation ascribed at the time of the client’s most recent capital contribution to the
illiquid or difficult to value asset. Unless the sponsor of illiquid or difficult to value asset or another
third-party presents Adviser with an illiquid or difficult to value asset valuation lower than the
valuation of the illiquid or difficult to value asset at the time of the client’s most recent capital
contribution, Adviser shall continue to calculate its asset-based fee based on the valuation of the
illiquid or difficult to value asset at the time of the client’s most recent capital contribution. There
Page 8 of 28
Date of Brochure: October 16, 2025
may be circumstances where the client and Adviser may agree upon a value. Typically, the
valuation date for illiquid assets will lag behind the valuation of public securities.
Advisory Fee, Payment, Calculation & Other Expenses and Charges
Asset management fees are automatically deducted from the cash balance of Client’s account(s)
and payable monthly in arrears based on the average daily balance in all account(s) as of the last
business day of the prior month.
Initial fees are prorated based on the number of days that the Client’s account(s) was open during
the applicable billing period. Additional deposits of funds and/or any other securities will be
subject to the same fee procedures.
Individual accounts for immediate family members (such as spouses, domestic partners, and
dependent children) shall be aggregated for purposes of calculating a Client’s assets under the
Adviser’s management or advisement and corresponding fees.
Asset management fees may be adjusted from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days’
advance written notice to Client, after which such adjusted fees will be applied to the Client’s
account(s).
The Adviser’s standard fee schedule for asset management services is provided below, but may
differ from client to client for the reasons stated above. Clients should always refer to their
specific advisory agreement for the fee schedule applicable to their account(s).
For asset management services, Adviser charges an annual fee between 0.40% and 1.50%.
With respect to assets invested into a Crystal Fund, Adviser shall receive an annual asset-based
fee equal to 1.00%, charged quarterly in arrears. For Crystal Funds that are private equity, private
credit, or venture capital funds, our advisory fee is based on the commitment amount pre-capital
call, and the net asset value post-capital call, and paid from the client’s account at the custodian
for the Crystal Fund. For Crystal Funds that are hedge funds, the advisory fee is based on the net
asset value of the investment as calculated by the hedge fund’s administrator.
The Client may make additions to and withdrawals from their account(s) at any time, subject to
Adviser’s right to terminate an account. Additions may be in cash or securities provided that
Adviser reserves the right to liquidate any transferred securities or decline to accept particular
securities into a Client’s account(s). Clients may withdraw account assets on notice to Adviser,
subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. However, Adviser designs
its portfolios as long-term investments and the withdrawal of assets may impair the achievement
of a Client’s investment objectives. Adviser may consult with its Clients about the options and
ramifications of transferring securities. However, Clients are advised that when transferred
securities are liquidated, they are subject to transaction fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund
level (i.e. contingent deferred sales charge) and/or tax ramifications. Additionally, fees with
respect to certain Client holdings (e.g., held-away assets, accommodation accounts, alternative
investments, etc.), may be offered at a rate that differs from the range set forth above.
The Adviser’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and
custody fees, and other related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be
incurred by the Client. However, the Adviser shall not receive any portion of these commissions,
fees, and costs.
Use of Independent Managers and TAMPs – As noted in Item 4, the Adviser may implement all
or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio utilizing one or more Independent Managers and/or
Page 9 of 28
Date of Brochure: October 16, 2025
TAMPs. To mitigate any conflict of interest, the Adviser does not earn any compensation from any
Independent Manager or TAMP. The Adviser will only earn its investment advisory fee as
described above. Independent Managers and TAMPs typically do not offer any fee discounts but
may have a breakpoint schedule which will reduce the fee with an increased level of assets
placed under management with an Independent Manager and/or TAMP. The terms of such fee
arrangements are included in the Independent Manager’s and TAMP’s disclosure brochures and
applicable contracts with the Independent Manager and TAMP. The total blended fee, including
the Adviser’s fee and the Independent Manager’s and/or TAMP’s fee, as applicable, will not
exceed 2.50% annually. For Client accounts implemented through an Independent Manager
and/or TAMP, the Client’s overall fees will include Adviser’s investment advisory fee (as noted
above) plus investment management fees and/or platform fees charged by the Independent
Manager and/or TAMP. Fees may be calculated and deducted by Adviser or the Independent
Manager and/or TAMP, depending on the particular Independent Manager and/or TAMP.
Advisory Fee for Financial Planning Services
Stand-alone financial planning services are offered for a one-time fixed fee or, for ongoing
financial planning relationships, for a recurring fixed fee. As a general guideline, such fees can
range from $10,000 to $100,000 per annum. Alternatively, the Adviser may agree to render
financial planning services at an hourly rate of $250 per hour, payable monthly in arrears. Fees
may be negotiable based on the nature and complexity of the services to be provided and the
overall relationship with the Adviser. Certain engagements may have a fee that is higher than the
stated range. An estimate for total costs will be determined prior to engaging for these services.
Financial planning fees are invoiced by the Adviser and are due upon the completion of the
agreed upon deliverable(s). Financial planning fees can be charged to a client’s non-retirement
brokerage account or can be paid directly from the client.
Retirement Plan Fees
To the extent the Adviser renders non-discretionary asset management or consulting services to
a retirement plan sponsor, such Clients will generally be charged an asset-based fee of up to
0.50% per annum, charged monthly or quarterly (depending on the client) in arrears based on the
average daily balance of the plan’s assets during the prior month. Fees may be negotiable based
on the nature and complexity of the services to be provided and the overall relationship with the
Adviser. Certain engagements may have a fee that is higher than the amount stated above.
B. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Adviser, in
connection with investments made on behalf of the Client’s account(s). The Client is responsible
for all custody and securities execution fees charged by the Custodian, except to the extent a
Custodian voluntarily agrees to waive fees associated with transferring accounts to the
Custodian. Fees charged by Adviser are separate and distinct from these custody and execution
fees and Adviser will receive no portion of these fees.
In addition, all fees paid to Adviser for asset management and financial planning services are
separate and distinct from the expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their
shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus.
These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds, other
fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a
possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the
services of Adviser, but would not receive the services provided by Adviser which are designed,
among other things, to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most
appropriate for each Client’s financial situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should
Page 10 of 28
Date of Brochure: October 16, 2025
review both the fees charged by the fund(s) and the fees charged by Adviser to fully understand
the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information.
Certain private investments will also charge a performance fee and various other fees and
expenses as described in the various offering documents of such private investments.
For certain fixed income securities, Adviser retains the discretion to direct such trades away from
the client’s selected custodial broker-dealer in the pursuit of seeking better execution services for
such fixed income transactions. In such instances, the Client will generally be subject to
applicable markups applied to the cost of the transaction. However, Adviser will only direct such
transactions when it believes such markups are in the best interests of clients and in the pursuit
of seeking better execution services.
C. Termination
Asset Management Services
Either party may terminate the client management or planning agreement, at any time, by
providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the agreement
within five (5) business days of signing the Adviser’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the
five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point
of termination. Since the Adviser generally bills in arrears, the prorated fees due to the Adviser to
the date of termination shall be billed to the Client upon termination.
Use of Independent Managers – In the event that a Client should wish to terminate their
relationship with the Independent Manager, the terms for termination will be set forth in the
respective agreements between the Client and those third parties. Adviser will assist the Client
with the termination and transition as appropriate.
Financial Planning Services
For one-time financial planning services, Adviser is compensated for its services upon completion
of the engagement deliverable(s). For ongoing financial planning services, Adviser is
compensated for its services monthly in arrears. Either party may terminate the financial planning
agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may
also terminate the financial planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing the
Adviser’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur
charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be
due and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Client shall be billed for the percentage of
the engagement scope completed by the Adviser.
Private Investments
Investors should refer to each private investment’s offering documents for more detailed
information on the withdrawal process.
Insurance Agency Affiliations
Certain Advisory Persons are also licensed insurance professionals. Implementations of
insurance recommendations are separate and apart from one’s role with Adviser. As an insurance
professional, an Advisory Person will receive customary commissions and other related revenues
from the various insurance companies whose products are sold. An Advisory Person is not
required to offer the products of any particular insurance company. Commissions generated by
insurance sales do not offset regular advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest in
recommending certain products of the insurance companies. Clients are under no obligation to
Page 11 of 28
Date of Brochure: October 16, 2025
implement any recommendations made by an Advisory Person or the Adviser. Please see Item
10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations.
D. Neither Adviser nor any of its supervised persons accepts compensation for the sale of securities
or other investment products.

Item 6: Performance-Based Fees & Side-By-Side
Management
Neither Adviser nor any of its supervised persons accepts performance-based fees (fees based on a
share of capital gains or capital appreciation of the assets of a client).

Item 7: Types of Clients
Adviser generally provides its services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, trusts, estates, business
entities, charitable organizations, and pension and profit sharing plans. The minimum account value
required to open and maintain an account with Adviser is $1,000,000, subject to negotiation.
Page 14 of 28
Date of Brochure: October 16, 2025
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies & Risk
of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Adviser primarily employs fundamental analysis in developing investment strategies for its
Clients. Research and analysis from Adviser are derived from numerous sources, including
financial media companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of
company activities, including annual reports, prospectuses, press releases and research
prepared by others.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria.
These criteria are generally ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial
viability of the entity being analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to
indicate that they are a strong investment with a value discounted by the market. While this type
of analysis helps the Adviser in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the
investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in the
fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The
Adviser monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations
are appropriate. More details on the Adviser’s review process are included below in Item 13 –
Review of Accounts.
Adviser has a goal-driven investment strategy. Because clients seek to achieve certain outcomes
– to fund their current lifestyle, pursue a philanthropic initiative, launch an entrepreneurial
venture, for instance – the Adviser’s investment philosophy balances asset allocation, tax
efficiency and cost effectiveness with goal-driven investing.
In this context, Adviser helps Clients manage their portfolio within a band of volatility that is
aligned with the client’s specific tolerance for risk and experience as an investor. Adviser’s
emphasis is on risk budgeting and managing risk, not on short-term portfolio performance.
On an ongoing basis, Adviser identifies asset classes, sectors and individual investments in order
to understand where volatility is coming from, and where it could come from, in order to mitigate
risk. Adviser also considers how all of a client’s assets are correlated; even assets outside the
portfolio and investments separate from those the Firm is helping to manage.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose
value. Clients should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Adviser will assist Clients in
determining an appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted
above. However, there is no guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals.
While the methods of analysis help the Adviser in evaluating a potential investment, it does not
guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria
utilized in these methods of analysis may lose value and may have negative investment
performance. The Adviser monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to
strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Adviser’s review process are included
below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Client engagements may entail some or all of the following: review of the Client's investment
goals, financial situation, time horizon, tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an
Page 15 of 28
Date of Brochure: October 16, 2025
appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client participation in this process, including
full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the analysis of a Client's
account(s). The Adviser shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client or
their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the
provided information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Adviser of any changes in
financial condition, goals or other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing
Client accounts. The Adviser will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as
part of the portfolio construction process. Following are some of the risks associated with the
Adviser’s approach:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or
markets, as well as economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked
to the performance of the overall financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The
price of the ETFs will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds.
In addition, ETFs have a trading risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded
actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a large bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The
price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may dissociate from the index
being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased or sold at
one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time
later.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal.
The price of the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make
up the funds. The price of a mutual fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at
one point in the day will typically have the same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same
day.
Private Investments/Alternative Investment (Limited Partnerships) Risks
Investments in private placements and other alternative investments are often subject to liquidity
restrictions, which means that a client may not be able to redeem his or her investment until a
redemption window is available. In addition, such investments can be more volatile and less
transparent than an exchange-listed security that trades daily in an electronic marketplace.
Private placements are generally more difficult to value than exchange-listed securities, and
therefore are more reliant on individual judgment as opposed to market prices when determining
a valuation. Investors into private placements are typically required to be either accredited
investors, qualified clients, or both, and should carefully consider the specific risks described in
the applicable private placement memorandum, limited partnership agreement, and other
fund-related disclosure documents.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other
investments involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear.
Clients are reminded to discuss these risks with the Adviser.

Digital Asset Risks
Investing in digital assets like bitcoin or ethereum, e.g., whether directly through an exchange or
indirectly through another product, involves the general risks of investing in other investment
vehicles. In addition, the value of digital assets are subject to significant fluctuations, can be
highly volatile, and can change dramatically even intra-day. The price of digital assets could drop
precipitously for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, a crisis of confidence in the
network or a change in user preference to competing assets.
Digital assets represent an emerging asset class. As a result, the market infrastructure through
which it is exchanged and the regulatory foundation upon which it is regulated are still in their
respective infancy when compared to more traditional assets like stocks, bonds, mutual funds,
ETFs, or similar. Digital assets are not protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Any exposure to digital assets can result in
substantial losses and bitcoin investors should be able to withstand significant if not complete
loss of invested capital.
Digital assets facilitate decentralized, peer-to-peer financial exchange and value storage that is
used like money, without the oversight of a central authority or banks. The value of digital assets
are wholly derived from their monetary premium and is not backed by any government,
corporation, other identified body, or other physical assets. The exchange and availability of
digital assets are dependent on the availability and proper functioning of the internet, the
electronic platforms storing such digital assets, and the owner’s control and possession of any
needed password or digital key. Any downtime, unavailability, cybersecurity breach, or loss of
access is a risk that a digital asset investor should be prepared to bear. The loss, destruction, or
compromise of a private key may result in a loss of the digital assets, typographical errors may
lead to loss of the digital assets, and digital asset trade errors cannot be unwound. Accordingly,
the indirect exposure to digital assets through securities of publicly listed companies is also
susceptible to these risks.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other
investments involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear.
Clients are reminded to discuss these risks with the Adviser.

Item 9: Disciplinary Information
Jordan Linn entered a stipulation and consent with the New York State Department of Financial Services
in January 2014 for inadvertently failing to disclose a prior administrative proceeding regarding one of his
professional licenses. Further information may be found by reviewing Mr. Linn’s ADV Part 2B, Item 3 and
his individual profile on the Investment Adviser Public disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by
searching with Mr. Linn’s name or CRD #2664439.
Adviser values the trust Clients place in the Adviser. The Adviser encourages Clients to perform the
requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider with whom the Client engages. The
backgrounds of the Adviser and its Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public
Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Adviser’s firm name or CRD
#288030.

Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities & Affiliations
A. Neither Adviser nor any of its management persons are registered, or have an application
pending to register, as a broker-dealer or a registered representative of a broker-dealer.
B. Neither Adviser nor any of its management persons are registered, or have an application
pending to register, as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity
trading advisor, or an associated person of the foregoing entities.
C. Neither Adviser nor any of its management persons have any relationship or arrangement with
any related person below:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
vi.
vii.
viii.
ix.
x.
broker-dealer, municipal securities dealer, or government securities dealer or broker
investment company or other pooled investment vehicle (including a mutual fund,
closed-end investment company, unit investment trust, private investment company or
“hedge fund,” and offshore fund)
other investment adviser or financial planner
futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading advisor
banking or thrift institution
accountant or accounting firm
lawyer or law firm
pension consultant
real estate broker or dealer
sponsor or syndicator of limited partnerships
D. Certain investment adviser representatives of Adviser are licensed insurance agents and from
time to time will earn an ordinary and customary commission from the sale of an insurance
product in such capacity. This creates a conflict of interest, because these persons have the
potential to earn both an insurance commission and advisory fee revenue from a client. These
persons address this conflict of interest by fully disclosing their relationship with the applicable
insurance provider, and informing clients that they are under no obligation to purchase an
insurance product through them.
E. The Adviser has the option of recommending and utilizing third-party money managers,
separately managed accounts, mutual funds, and private investment sponsors. Such sponsors
and third-party money managers provide the Adviser or its Advisory Persons certain benefits,
such as due diligence / educational seminars along with attendance expense reimbursements,
financial and marketing assistance, and the use of certain software. This practice presents a
conflict of interest and an incentive to recommend such sponsors and third-party money
managers. The Adviser addresses this conflict of interest by fully disclosing it in this brochure and
by only utilizing such sponsors and third-party money managers in connection with clients when
believed to be in clients’ best interest, and for their benefit.

Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions & Personal Trading
A. Adviser has adopted a code of ethics that will be provided to any client or prospective client upon
request. Adviser’s code of ethics describes the standards of business conduct that Adviser
requires of its supervised persons, which is reflective of Adviser’s fiduciary obligations to act in
the best interests of its clients. The code of ethics also includes sections related to compliance
with securities laws, reporting of personal securities transactions and holdings, reporting of
violations of the code of ethics to Adviser’s Chief Compliance Officer, pre-approval of certain
investments by access persons, and the distribution of the code of ethics and any amendments to
all supervised persons followed by a written acknowledgement of their receipt.
B. Neither Adviser nor any of its related persons recommends to clients, or buys or sells for client
accounts, securities in which Adviser or any of its related persons has a material financial
interest.
C. From time to time, Adviser or its related persons will invest in the same securities (or related
securities such as warrants, options or futures) that Adviser or a related person recommends to
clients. This has the potential to create a conflict of interest because it affords Adviser or its
related persons the opportunity to profit from the investment recommendations made to clients.
Adviser’s policies and procedures and code of ethics address this potential conflict of interest by
prohibiting such trading by Adviser or its related persons if it would be to the detriment of any
client and by monitoring for compliance through the reporting and review of personal securities
transactions. In all instances Adviser will act in the best interests of its clients.
D. From time to time, Adviser or its related persons will buy or sell securities for client accounts at or
about the same time that Adviser or a related person buys or sells the same securities for its own
(or the related person’s own) account. This has the potential to create a conflict of interest
because it affords Adviser or its related persons the opportunity to trade either before or after the
trade is made in client accounts, and profit as a result. Adviser’s policies and procedures and
code of ethics address this potential conflict of interest by prohibiting such trading by Adviser or
its related persons if it would be to the detriment of any client and by monitoring for compliance
through the reporting and review of personal securities transactions. In all instances Adviser will
act in the best interests of its clients.

Item 12: Brokerage Practices
A. Adviser considers several factors when recommending a custodial broker-dealer for client
transactions and determining the reasonableness of such custodial broker-dealer’s
compensation. Such factors include the custodial broker-dealer’s industry reputation and financial
stability, service quality and responsiveness, execution price, speed and accuracy, reporting
abilities, and general expertise. Assessing these factors as a whole allows Adviser to fulfill its duty
to seek best execution for its clients’ securities transactions. However, Adviser does not
guarantee that the custodial broker-dealer recommended for client transactions will necessarily
provide the best possible price, as price is not the sole factor considered when seeking best
execution. After considering the factors above, Adviser recommends Charles Schwab & Co Inc.
(“Schwab”), Gemini, American Funds/Capital Client Group, John Hancock, Pershing (Empower),
and Newport (collectively, the “Recommended Custodians”) as the custodial broker-dealers for
client accounts.
i.
Adviser does not receive research and other soft dollar benefits in connection with client
securities transactions, which are known as “soft dollar benefits”. However, the custodial
broker-dealer(s) recommended by Adviser do provide certain products and services that
are intended to directly benefit Adviser, clients, or both. Such products and services
include (a) an online platform through which Adviser can monitor and review client
accounts, (b) access to proprietary technology that allows for order entry, (c) duplicate
statements for client accounts and confirmations for client transactions, (d) invitations to
the custodial broker-dealer(s)’ educational conferences, (e) practice management
consulting, and (f) occasional business meals and entertainment. The receipt of these
products and services creates a conflict of interest to the extent it causes Adviser to
recommend the Recommended Custodians as opposed to a comparable broker-dealer.
Adviser addresses this conflict of interest by fully disclosing it in this brochure, evaluating
the Recommended Custodians based on the value and quality of its services as realized
by clients, and by periodically evaluating alternative broker-dealers to recommend.
ii.
Adviser does not consider, in selecting or recommending custodial broker-dealers,
whether Adviser or a related person receives client referrals from a custodial
broker-dealer or third-party.
iii.
Adviser does not routinely recommend, request, or require that a client direct Adviser to
execute transactions through a specified custodial broker-dealer.
B. Adviser retains the ability to aggregate the purchase and sale of securities for clients’ accounts
with the goal of seeking more efficient execution and more consistent results across accounts.
Aggregated trading instructions will not be placed if it would result in increased administrative and
other costs, custodial burdens, or other disadvantages. If client trades are aggregated by Adviser,
such aggregation will be done so as to not to disadvantage any client and to treat all clients as
fairly and equally as possible.
C. Adviser provides advisory services to clients through certain programs sponsored by Schwab,
which may include but not necessarily be limited to:
i. Managed Account Marketplace – The Managed Account Marketplace platform is a
“dual-contract” structure in which Adviser negotiates directly with the third-party
investment manager of Adviser’s choosing and the client benefits from the brokerage and
custody services of Schwab. This platform permits Adviser to use third-party money
managers of Adviser’s choosing and negotiate any arrangements with the managers
directly.
Page 21 of 28
Date of Brochure: October 16, 2025
ii. Managed Account Select – Managed Account Select (“Select”) is the most
comprehensive managed account program at Schwab, with access to research and
ongoing due diligence of money managers and strategies provided by Schwab’s
investment advisory group. Features and benefits of Select, include, but are not limited
to, a “single contract” structure, low account minimums, bundled fees and research.
iii. Managed Account Access – The Managed Account Access Program (“Access”) is a
“single contract” structure that allows Adviser to work with an array of money managers.
Other features and benefits include, but are not limited to, low account minimums,
bundled fees and access to over 75 managers on this platform.

Item 13: Review of Accounts
A. The Investment Adviser Representatives of Adviser monitor client accounts on an ongoing basis,
and typically reviews client accounts at least annually. Such reviews are designed to ensure that
the client is still on track to achieve his or her financial goals, and that the investments remain
appropriate given the client’s risk tolerance, investment objectives, major life events, and other
factors. Clients are encouraged to proactively reach out to Adviser to discuss any changes to
their personal or financial situation.
B. Other factors that may trigger a review include, but are not limited to, material developments in
market conditions, material geopolitical events, and changes to a client’s personal or financial
situation (the birth of a child, preparing for a home purchase, plans to attend higher education, a
job transition, impending retirement, death or disability among family members, etc.).
C. The custodial broker-dealer will send account statements and reports directly to clients no less
frequently than quarterly. Such statements and reports will be mailed to clients at their address of
record or delivered electronically, depending on the client’s election. If agreed to by Adviser and
client, Adviser or a third-party report provider will also send clients reports to assist them in
understanding their account positions and performance, as well as the progress toward achieving
financial goals.

Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by Adviser
Adviser may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g. attorneys,
accountants, estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of
its Clients. Likewise, Adviser may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various
third-parties.
As described above in Item 12, the Recommended Custodians provide certain products and
services that are intended to directly benefit Adviser, clients, or both.
B. Client Referrals from Solicitors
Adviser may engage and compensate an unaffiliated third-party (a “Solicitor”) for Client referrals
in accordance with the requirements of Rule 206(4)-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
Clients will not pay a higher fee to Adviser as a result of such payments to a Solicitor. The Adviser
shall enter into an agreement with the Solicitor, which requires that full disclosure of the
compensation and other conflicts is provided to the prospective client prior to or at the time of
entering into the advisory agreement.

Item 15: Custody
For clients that do not have their fees deducted directly from their account(s), and have not provided
Adviser with any standing letters of authorization (“SLOAs”) to distribute funds from their account(s) to
third parties, Adviser will not have any custody of client funds or securities.
For clients that have their fees deducted directly from their account(s) or that have provided Adviser with
discretion as to amount and timing of disbursements pursuant to an SLOA to disburse funds from their
account(s) to third parties, Adviser will generally be deemed to have custody over such clients’ funds
pursuant to applicable custody rules and guidance thereto. At no time will Adviser accept custody of client
funds or securities in the capacity of a custodial broker-dealer or other qualified custodian, and at all times
client accounts will be held by a third-party qualified custodian as described in Item 12, above.
With respect to custody that is triggered by third party SLOAs, Adviser endeavors to comply with the
following seven conditions as listed in the 2017 SEC No Action Letter to the Investment Adviser
Association:
1. The client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that includes the client’s
signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or the third party’s account
number at a custodian to which the transfer should be directed.
2. The client authorizes the investment adviser, in writing, either on the qualified custodian’s form or
separately, to direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or from time to time.
3. The client’s qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction, such as a
signature review or other method to verify the client’s authorization, and provides a transfer of
funds notice to the client promptly after each transfer.
4. The client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the client’s qualified custodian.
5. The investment adviser has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third
party, the address, or any other information about the third party contained in the client’s
instruction.
6. The investment adviser maintains records showing that the third party is not a related party of the
investment adviser or located at the same address as the investment adviser.
7. The client’s qualified custodian sends the client, in writing, an initial notice confirming the
instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
If a client receives account statements from both the custodial broker-dealer and Adviser or a third-party
report provider, such client is urged to compare such account statements and advise Adviser of any
discrepancies between them.

Item 16: Investment Discretion
Adviser generally has discretion over the selection, amount and timing of securities to be bought or sold
in Client accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases
or sales may be subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth
by the Client and agreed to by Adviser. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure
to the Client. The granting of such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment
advisory agreement containing all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by
Adviser will be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals.

Item 17: Voting Client Securities
A. Adviser does not have and will not accept authority to vote client securities.
B. Clients will receive their proxies or other solicitations directly from their custodial broker-dealer or
a transfer agent, as applicable, and should direct any inquiries regarding such proxies or other
solicitations directly to the sender.
