ADVISORY BUSINESS (Item 4)
Advisory Firm Description
Orser Capital Management LLC (“OCM” or the “Firm”) has been in business since July
2007. The principal owners are Elizabeth Kathleen Orser and James B. Orser.
Types of Advisory Services
Orser Capital Management LLC provides clients with a fee-only investment advisory
service.
This service is for clients who want assistance in designing, implementing, monitoring,
and maintaining an investment portfolio. This service includes:
• Determining clients’ investment goals
• Evaluating current assets
• Determining projected cash flow needs
• Determining any investment constraints
• Determining client risk tolerance
• Developing an asset allocation, including specific investment recommendations as
to the moderate equity, income equity or retirement model
• Placing trades in the client’s account as appropriate
• Ongoing support:
o Support to the client for the custodian account establishment and/or transfer
assistance
o Portfolio monitoring
Tailored Advisory Services
Clients may impose restrictions on particular investments or investment classes in their
separate accounts by notifying OCM at any time in writing.
Client Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, the Firm had $289,781,292 of discretionary assets under
management.
FEES AND COMPENSATION (Item 5)
The Firm charges an annual investment advisory fee of up to 1.00% of assets under
management. The fee is negotiable, is determined at the time the client signs the
investment advisory agreement, and is based on the complexity of each client’s individual
situation. Portfolios generally are aggregated by family and are calculated on a cumulative
basis.
Normally, investment advisory fees are billed quarterly in arrears at the rate of one fourth
of the annual rate shown above and may be deducted from clients’ accounts. Fees are
Page 1
Part 2A of Form ADV: Firm Brochure
Orser Capital Management LLC
February 2026
calculated based on the portfolio valuation as determined by the account custodian at the
close of market on the last business day of each quarter.
To the extent that client assets are invested in mutual and money market funds, those
funds charge an internal management fee which is fully disclosed in each fund’s
prospectus and is in addition to the fee OCM charges for managing the account. The
custodian OCM recommends to clients may charge a transaction fee to purchase or sell
mutual fund shares. This fee is charged for the convenience of trading across multiple
mutual fund families with one brokerage account and would not be assessed if the client
were to open accounts directly with each mutual fund company.
Termination
Either the client or OCM may terminate the investment advisory relationship at any time
upon receipt of written instruction to that effect. Clients may also terminate the Investment
Advisory Agreement by the Client(s) removal of Advisor(s) access to Client(s) accounts or
by transferring Client(s) account(s) to another custodian. Otherwise, if the agreement is
terminated during a quarter, the client will be charged fees due on a pro-rated basis,
calculating the market value as of the close of the prior trading day or, if that is not
available, as of the close of the prior month.
PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT (Item 6)
OCM does not charge any performance-based fees or engage in side-by-side
management.
TYPES OF CLIENTS (Item 7)
OCM provides investment advisory services to:
Individuals
•
• High net worth individuals
• Pension and profit sharing plans
The Firm has a preferred minimum account size of $50,000.
METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS
(Item 8)
Methods of Analysis
OCM uses a combination of the following types of analysis in evaluating investments for
client accounts:
• Fundamental—Analysis of financial attributes of a company, such as revenue
growth, debt-to-equity ratio, inventory turnover, etc.
• Technical—Analysis which assumes past performance is a predictor of future
performance
Page 2
Part 2A of Form ADV: Firm Brochure
Orser Capital Management LLC
February 2026
• Cyclical—Analysis based on business, industry, calendar or historical cycles
Investment Strategies
The investment strategy OCM uses to implement investment advice is primarily an asset
allocation strategy, in which asset classes are set depending upon the client’s objective.
This strategy is implemented through:
• Long-term purchases (securities held at least a year)
• Short-term purchases (securities sold within a year)
Risk of Loss
OCM does not guarantee the future performance of the account or any specific level of
performance, the success of any investment decision or strategy that the Firm may use,
or the success of the Firm’s overall management of the account. The client understands
that investment decisions made for the client’s account by the Firm are subject to various
market, currency, economic, political and business risks, and that OCM’s investment
decisions will not always be profitable. Clients are reminded that investing in any security
entails risk of loss which they should be willing to bear.
DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION (Item 9)
There have been no disciplinary actions against Orser Capital Management LLC or its
employees.
OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS (Item 10)
There are no other business activities or affiliations to disclose.
CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS
AND PERSONAL TRADING (Item 11)
Code of Ethics
OCM has adopted a Code of Ethics which describes the general standards of conduct that
the Firm expects of all Firm personnel (collectively referred to as “employees”) and
focuses on three specific areas where employee conduct has the potential to adversely
affect the client:
• Misuse of nonpublic information
• Personal securities trading
• Outside business activities
Failure to uphold the Code of Ethics may result in disciplinary sanctions, including
termination with the Firm. Any client or prospective client may request a copy of the Firm’s
Code of Ethics which will be provided at no cost.
Page 3
Part 2A of Form ADV: Firm Brochure
Orser Capital Management LLC
February 2026
The following basic principles guide all aspects of the Firm’s business and represent the
minimum requirements to which the Firm expects employees to adhere:
• Clients’ interests come before employees’ personal interests and before the Firm’s
interests.
• The Firm must fully disclose all material facts about conflicts of interest of which it
is aware between itself and clients as well as between Firm employees and clients.
• Employees must operate on the Firm’s behalf and on their own behalf consistently
with the Firm’s disclosures and to manage the impacts of those conflicts.
• The Firm and its employees must not take inappropriate advantage of their
positions of trust with or responsibility to clients.
• The Firm and its employees must always comply with all applicable securities laws.
Misuse of Nonpublic Information
The Code of Ethics contains a policy against the use of nonpublic information in
conducting business for the Firm. Employees may not convey nonpublic information nor
depend upon it in placing personal or clients’ securities trades.
Personal Securities Trading
OCM or individuals associated with the Firm may buy, sell or hold in their personal
accounts the same securities that the Firm recommends to its clients in accordance with
the Firm’s internal compliance procedures. Such trades may occur simultaneously with
or after trades placed on behalf of clients with the client receiving the same or better
pricing. This mitigates the potential conflict of interest so that an employee cannot
personally benefit. The Firm does not allow front running.
Personal securities trades for assets other than open-ended mutual funds (including
trades of IPOs and private placements) must be pre-approved by the portfolio manager.
Employees are required to submit reports of personal securities trades on a quarterly
basis, and securities holdings annually. These are reviewed by the portfolio manager to
ensure compliance with the Firm’s policies.
Outside Business Activities
Employees are required to report any outside business activities generating revenue for
approval from the portfolio manager. If any are deemed to be in conflict with clients, such
conflicts will be fully disclosed or the employee will be directed to cease this activity.
BROKERAGE PRACTICES (Item 12)
Selection of Brokers
The Firm recommends “qualified custodians” for clients’ accounts, with each client signing
a separate agreement with the custodian. These custodians send monthly or quarterly
statements directly to their clients. The Firm recognizes its responsibility to attain best
execution and recognizes that limiting its custodial relationships may affect its ability to
Page 4
Part 2A of Form ADV: Firm Brochure
Orser Capital Management LLC
February 2026
provide best execution on a trade-by-trade basis. However, the Firm evaluates its entire
custodial relationship in assessing best execution on a client-by-client basis.
OCM participates in the Schwab Institutional (SI) services program offered to independent
investment advisors by Charles Schwab & Company, Inc. (“Schwab”), a FINRA-registered
broker-dealer. Clients in need of brokerage and custodial services will generally have
Schwab recommended to them due to Schwab’s:
• Discounted commission structure
• Arrangements with multiple mutual fund families to trade through Schwab
• Financial stability
• Provision of account information online to all clients
• Client service to OCM and its clients and
• Ease of reporting to OCM and its clients.
As part of the SI program, OCM receives benefits that it would not receive if it did not offer
investment advice.
Research and Other Soft-Dollar Benefits
Schwab provides OCM with access to its institutional trading and custody services, which
are typically not available to Schwab retail investors. These services generally are
available to independent investment advisors on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them
so long as a total of at least $10 million of the advisor’s clients’ assets are maintained in
accounts at Schwab Institutional. These services are not contingent upon OCM
committing to Schwab any specific amount of business (assets in custody or trading
commissions). Schwab’s brokerage services include the execution of securities
transactions, custody, research, and access to mutual funds and other investments that
are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require a
significantly higher minimum initial investment.
For OCM’s client accounts maintained in its custody, Schwab generally does not charge
separately for custody services but is compensated by account holders through
commissions or other transaction-related or asset-based fees for securities trades that are
executed through Schwab or that settle into Schwab accounts.
Schwab also makes available to OCM other products and services that benefit OCM but
may not directly benefit its clients’ accounts. Many of these products and services may be
used to service all or some substantial number of OCM’s accounts.
Schwab’s products and services that assist OCM in managing and administering clients’
accounts include software and other technology that:
• Provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account
statements)
• Facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client
accounts
• Provide research, pricing and other market data
• Facilitate payment of OCM’s fees from its clients’ accounts
Page 5
Part 2A of Form ADV: Firm Brochure
Orser Capital Management LLC
February 2026
• Assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting
Schwab Institutional also offers other services intended to help OCM manage and further
develop its business enterprise. These services may include:
• Compliance, legal and business consulting
• Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession
• Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants and insurance
providers.
Schwab may make available, arrange and/or pay third-party vendors for the types of
services rendered to OCM: Schwab Institutional may discount or waive fees it would
otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party
providing these services to OCM. Schwab Institutional may also provide other benefits
such as educational events or occasional business entertainment of OCM personnel. In
evaluating whether to require that clients custody their assets at Schwab, OCM may take
into account the availability of some of the foregoing products and services and other
arrangements as part of the total mix of factors it considers and not solely the nature, cost
or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by Schwab, which may create a
potential conflict of interest.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
The Firm does not receive referrals from a broker/dealer or third party providing service to
OCM.
Directed Brokerage
Occasionally, some clients may choose to execute trades through broker/dealers with
whom they have an existing relationship. In this instance, the Firm is less able to meet its
fiduciary duty to obtain best execution for transactions executed for clients.
Order Aggregation
OCM aggregates brokerage orders for its clients. Many investment advisors aggregate
trade orders, which enable a firm to trade across client accounts, giving each client the
same share price. Some custodians consider an aggregated trade as one transaction, so
clients may enjoy a lower commission than if the trades were done individually. Schwab
does not provide this commission feature to its clients. OCM clients will receive different
share prices when transactions occur in the same security on the same day.
Trade Errors
From time to time, OCM may make an error in submitting a trade order on a client’s behalf.
When this occurs, the Firm may place a correcting trade with the custodian. If an
investment gain results from the correcting trade, the gain will remain in the client’s
account, unless the same error involved other client accounts that should have received
the gain. If the gain does not remain in a client account and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
is the custodian, Schwab will donate the amount of any gain $100 or more to charity. If
a loss occurs greater than $100, OCM will pay for the loss. Schwab will maintain the loss

Orser Capital Management LLC
February 2026
or gain (if such gain is not retained in the client’s 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 a client account, they may be netted.
REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS (Item 13)
Mr. Orser in his capacity as portfolio manager and Ms. Orser in her capacity as Chief
Compliance Officer, review all investment supervisory accounts at least quarterly.
Additional reviews may be triggered by events such as a client meeting, change in a
client's risk tolerance, financial position or investment objective, change in a company or
fund's management, unusual market or economic circumstances or other unforeseen
event.
Client meetings are encouraged at least annually (according to client availability), in which
asset allocations, account holdings, performance and the client’s financial profile are
reviewed.
CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION (Item 14)
The Firm does not pay outside individuals or entities for referring clients.
We receive an economic benefit from Schwab in the form of support products and services
it makes available to us and other independent advisors whose clients maintain their
accounts at Schwab. In addition, Schwab has agreed to pay for certain products and
services for which we would otherwise have to pay once the value of our client’s assets in
accounts at Schwab reaches a certain amount. These products and services, how they
benefit us, and the related conflicts of interests are described above (see Item 12-
Brokerage Practices). Custody (Item 15)
Because OCM generally has the authority to instruct the account custodian to deduct the
investment management fee directly from the client’s account, OCM is considered to have
“custody” of client assets. Custody is defined as having any access to client funds or
securities. This limited access is monitored by the client through receipt of account
statements directly from the custodian.
The Firm’s primary custodian, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., is a “qualified custodian”
providing clients with at least quarterly statements showing the deduction of management
fees within the list of all transactions occurring during the reporting period. The firm has
no access to funds or securities except for this deduction of investment advisory fees.
CUSTODY (Item 15)
Because OCM generally has the authority to instruct the account custodian to deduct the
investment management fee directly from the client’s account, OCM is considered to have
“custody” of client assets. Custody is defined as having any access to client funds or
securities. This limited access is monitored by the client through receipt of account
statements directly from the custodian.

The Firm’s primary custodian, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., is a “qualified custodian”
providing clients with at least quarterly statements showing the deduction of management
fees within the list of all transactions occurring during the reporting period. The firm has
no access to funds or securities except for this deduction of investment advisory fees.
INVESTMENT DISCRETION (Item 16)
For discretionary accounts, the Firm has full trading authority under a limited power of
attorney assigned to OCM. As a result, OCM will determine both the investments, and
how much of each, should be purchased or sold on each client’s behalf. The Firm follows
the investment strategy as set forth in the investment management agreement. Clients
may place restrictions on the Firm’s discretion in writing.
Nondiscretionary accounts are managed for clients not willing or unable to provide limited
power of attorney to OCM.
VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES (Item 17)
OCM does not vote proxies for securities held in clients’ accounts. Clients receive proxy
material directly from their account custodian by either email or U.S. mail. Clients may
address questions concerning a proxy matter to Firm personnel by contacting the Firm via
email or telephone.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Item 18)
There is no financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair OCM’s ability to meet its
contractual commitments to its clients.
