Performance Wealth
Item 4: Advisory Business
A. Firm Information
Performance Wealth Partners, LLC d/b/a Performance Wealth (“Performance Wealth” or the “Advisor”)
is organized as a limited liability company (“LLC”) under the laws of the State of Delaware. Performance
Wealth is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Performance Wealth was founded in 2020 and is owned by T.J. Salvino Legacy Trust, J.P. Salvino
Irrevocable Trust, and T.L. Salvino Legacy Trust. Performance Wealth is operated by Thomas Salvino (Chief
Executive Officer and Wealth Manager), John P. Salvino (President, Chief Financial Officer, and Wealth
Manager), and Ryan Gough (Chief Operating Officer and Chief Compliance Officer). This Disclosure
Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services
provided by Performance Wealth.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Performance Wealth offers investment management services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals,
trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and business entities, and retirement plans (each
referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under applicable laws and regulations. As a
fiduciary, the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith toward each Client and seeks to
mitigate potential conflicts of interest. Performance Wealth’s fiduciary commitment is further described
in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For more information regarding our Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 –
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Wealth Management Services
Performance Wealth provides Clients with wealth management services, which generally include
discretionary investment management of investment portfolios in connection with a broad range of
comprehensive financial planning and consulting services. These services are described below.
Investment Management Services – Performance Wealth provides customized investment advisory
solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while
providing discretionary and/or non-discretionary investment management and related advisory services.
Performance Wealth works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives, as
well as risk tolerance and financial situation, in order to create a portfolio strategy. Performance Wealth
will then construct a portfolio consisting of low-cost, diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded
funds (“ETFs”) to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize individual stocks,
individual bonds, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), options contracts, and/or alternative
investments to meet the needs of its Clients. The Advisor may also utilize other types of investments, as
appropriate, to meet the needs of the Client. Where appropriate, the Advisor may also provide advice
about any type of legacy position or other investment held in client portfolios. The Advisor may retain
other types of investments from the Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy,
tax-related reasons, or other reasons as identified between the Advisor and the Client.
Performance Wealth’s investment approach is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor 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. Performance Wealth will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to
ensure it meets the goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client
iv
Performance Wealth
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 Advisor.
Performance Wealth evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after
applying its internal due diligence process. Performance Wealth may recommend, on occasion,
redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. Performance Wealth may recommend
specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing
cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement. Performance Wealth 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.
Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA
retirement accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the
meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue
Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the
Client’s best interest, the Advisor will provide investment advice to the Client regarding a distribution from
an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction,
including rollovers from one ERISA-sponsored Plan to another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type
of account to another account (e.g., commission-based account to fee-based account). Such a
recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor earns a new (or increases its current) advisory
fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a retirement account to an
account managed by the Advisor.
At no time will Performance Wealth accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except
for the limited authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within their
designated account[s] at the Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the Client investment advisory
agreement. For additional information, please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services – Performance Wealth provides financial planning and/or
consulting services included with its wealth management services. Generally, such financial planning
services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific financial consultation based on
the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas
of need, including but not limited to investment planning, retirement planning, estate planning, insurance
needs, next-generation education and engagement, tax planning, personal savings, budgeting and cash
flow analysis, education savings, social security and Medicare analysis, and other areas of a Client’s
financial situation.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to 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, and establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.
Performance Wealth may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney, or other specialists as appropriate
for their unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written
summary of the Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc
v
Performance Wealth
engagements, the Advisor may not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically
completed within six (6) months of the contract date, assuming all information and documents requested
are provided promptly.
Consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the
Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for
investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it
would increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement
any recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the
Client elects to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, there is no guarantee of returns,
and the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through the Advisor.
Third-Party Access Platforms —The Advisor may use third-party platforms to access, aggregate, or manage
certain client accounts that are held away from the Advisor’s primary custodians, such as employer-
sponsored retirement plans or other externally maintained accounts. These platforms allow clients to
grant the Advisor authorized access to account information and, where permitted, limited account
management capabilities.
Access to such accounts is provided solely at the client’s direction and subject to the permissions granted
by the client through the third-party platform. Recommendations to have assets managed through a third-
party platform pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the Client. Assets
managed through a third-party platform increases the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it
would increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to have the
Advisor manage held-away assets by the Advisor.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Performance Wealth provides 3(21) retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans
(each a “Plan”) and the company (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are
designed to assist the Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan Participants.
Each engagement is customized to the needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services generally include:
• Vendor Analysis
• Plan Participant Enrollment and Education Tracking
• Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
• Investment Management
• Performance Reporting
• Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
• ERISA 404(c) Assistance
These services are provided by Performance Wealth serving in the capacity of a fiduciary under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA
Section 408(b)(2), the Plan Sponsor is provided with a written description of Performance Wealth’s
fiduciary status, the specific services to be rendered, and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor
reasonably expects under the engagement.
vi
Performance Wealth
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Performance Wealth to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to
enter into one or more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority, and
responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – Performance Wealth, in connection with the Client, will
develop a strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Performance Wealth will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to
meet the investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation, and tolerance for risk for each
Client.
• Portfolio Construction – Performance Wealth will develop a portfolio for the Client that is
intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – Performance Wealth will provide investment
management and ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Program
Performance Wealth typically includes securities transaction fees, custody fees, administrative fees, wire
fees, and other fees and expenses (herein “Covered Costs”) together with its investment advisory fees.
Including these fees into a single asset-based fee is considered a “Wrap Fee Program.” The Advisor
customizes its investment management services for its Clients. The Advisor sponsors the Performance
Wealth Wrap Fee Program solely as a supplemental disclosure regarding the combination of fees.
Depending on the level of trading required for the Client’s account[s] in a particular year, the Client may
pay more or less in total fees than if the Client paid its own transaction fees. Please see Appendix 1 – Wrap
Fee Program Brochure, which is included as a supplement to this Disclosure Brochure.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, Performance Wealth manages $4,092,644,450 in client assets, $4,063,049,066
of which is managed on a discretionary basis and $29,595,384 on a non-discretionary basis. Clients may
request more current information at any time by contacting Performance Wealth.
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms
of the wealth management agreement. Wealth management fees are based on the market value of assets
under management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Wealth management fees range from 0.75%
to 2.00% annually, based on several factors, including the complexity of the services to be provided, the
level of assets to be managed, and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple
objectives, specific reporting requirements, portfolio restrictions, and other complexities may be charged
a higher fee. The Advisor may negotiate a fee that differs from the range above for certain account[s] or
holdings.
vii
Performance Wealth
The wealth management fee for new accounts is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to
the end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees
will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held
in accounts managed by Performance Wealth will be independently valued by the Custodian. Performance
Wealth will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuations.
Account Additions and Withdrawals
The Client may make additions or withdrawals from the account[s] at any time, subject to the Advisor’s
right to terminate an account or the overall relationship. Additions may be in cash or securities, provided
that the Advisor 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 Performance
Wealth, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. However, the Advisor
typically designs its investment portfolios as long-term investments, and the withdrawal of assets may
impair the achievement of a Client’s investment objectives. Performance Wealth may consult the Client
about the implications of such transactions. Clients are advised that when such securities are liquidated,
they may be subject to securities transaction fees, short-term redemption fees, and/or tax ramifications.
If assets in excess of $10,000 are deposited into or withdrawn from the Client’s account[s], an adjustment
will be made in the next billing period to reflect the fee difference.
Sweep Account Fees
In most instances, Performance Wealth “sweeps” your available cash balance temporarily into a money
market mutual fund or other short-term investment vehicle (typically offered by your custodian). We also
may invest in another mutual fund, including an exchange-traded fund. When we sweep your available
cash balance into these unaffiliated funds, we charge our investment management fee on your total
account assets, including assets in some unaffiliated funds as described in your investment advisory
agreement.
The Advisor’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 Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Third-Party Access Platforms
For assets managed through a third-party platform, the Client is not charged any additional platform
fees. The Advisor bears the cost of the platform in order to service these Client assets. Advisory fees
apply to assets accessed and managed through the platform as part of the Client’s assets under
management, as disclosed above.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual asset-based fee of up to 0.75% and are
billed either in advance or arrears, pursuant to the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement.
Retirement plan fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of the prior
calendar quarter. Fees may be negotiable depending on the size and complexity of the Plan.
viii
Performance Wealth
B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s
account[s] at the Custodian. The Advisor or its delegate shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating
the amount of the fees to be deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the respective quarter-end date.
The amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by the number of days
in the year, multiplied by the number of days in the quarter) to the assets under management with
Performance Wealth at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be provided a statement, at least
quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting the deduction of the wealth management fee. It is the
responsibility of the Client to verify the accuracy of these fees as listed on the Custodian’s brokerage
statement, as the Custodian does not assume this responsibility. Clients provide written authorization
permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Performance Wealth directly from their account[s] held by the
Custodian as part of the wealth management agreement and separate account forms provided by the
Custodian. Certain assets under management may be excluded from the wealth management fee.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement plan advisory fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the assets
of the Plan, depending on the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties in connection with investments made
on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. Performance Wealth includes securities transaction fees, custody
fees, administrative fees, wire fees, and other fees and expenses (herein “Covered Costs”) as part of its
overall investment advisory fee through the Performance Wealth Wrap Fee Program. Securities
transaction fees for Client-directed trades may be charged back to the Client. Please see Item 4.D. above
as well as Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program Brochure.
In addition, all fees paid to Performance Wealth for investment advisory 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 Performance Wealth, but would not receive the services provided by
Performance Wealth 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 review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by Performance
Wealth to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for
additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Performance Wealth is compensated for its wealth management services in advance of the quarter in
which services are rendered. Either party may terminate the wealth management agreement, at any time,
by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the wealth
management agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’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
Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid wealth management fees from the effective date of
ix
Performance Wealth
termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s wealth management agreement with the Advisor is
non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Performance Wealth is compensated for its retirement plan advisory services in advance of or after the
quarter in which services are rendered. Either party may terminate the retirement plan advisory
agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client shall be
responsible for investment advisory fees up to and including the effective date of termination. Upon
termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid investment advisory fees from the effective
date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s retirement plan services agreement with the
Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Performance Wealth does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any
compensation for securities transactions in any Client account other than the investment advisory fees
noted above.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Performance Wealth is entitled to receive performance-based compensation in the form of carried
interest paid by one or more pooled investment vehicles (herein “Private Funds”) in which the Advisor
serves as a special administrator to. This presents a conflict of interest as management persons will benefit
financially from the recommendation of Clients to invest in the Private Funds. Additionally, the receipt of
performance-based compensation creates an incentive for the Advisor to recommend investments on
behalf of the Private Funds that are riskier or more speculative than would otherwise be the case in the
absence of such performance-based compensation arrangements. Performance Wealth manages this
conflict of interest as the firm is a fiduciary required to act in the best interest of its Clients. Please refer
to Item 10 below for further information.
Item 7: Types of Clients
Description
Performance Wealth offers investment advice to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, trusts, estates,
charitable organizations, corporations and business entities, and retirement plans.
Account Minimums
Performance Wealth generally requests a minimum relationship size of $500,000 but does reserve the
right to accept or decline a potential client for any reason at our sole discretion.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
investment decisions and recommendations. When evaluating
Performance Wealth is an active investment manager and utilizes a variety of methods and strategies to
make
investment opportunities,
Performance Wealth employs fundamental and technical research methods using various resources such
as financial news sources and websites, corporate data, rating services, third-party research, SEC filings
(e.g., annual reports, prospectuses), company press releases, and proprietary research.
x
Performance Wealth
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. This
criterion generally consists of 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 Advisor 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 Advisor monitors these economic indicators to
determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review
process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in
determining the recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts to
identify market patterns and trends, which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the
fundamentals of the company. The primary risk in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends
may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no
guarantee that Performance Wealth will be able to accurately predict such a reoccurrence.
Investment Strategies
Performance Wealth implements a variety of investment strategies for clients and does not manage a
specific, single strategy for its clients. The investment strategy for a specific client is based upon the
objectives stated by the client during consultations and varies by advisory team. The client may change
these objectives at any time.
Performance Wealth's advice is primarily based on long-term investment strategies using asset allocation
decisions and not market timing; however, Performance Wealth may implement short-term trading
strategies depending on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals of the security or asset class.
Individual securities are screened based on the basis of the company’s financial strength, growth
characteristics, and overall ability to meet client objectives.
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. Performance Wealth 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 Advisor 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 Advisor monitors these
economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on
the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time
horizon, tolerance for risk, and other factors to develop an 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 Advisor shall rely on the financial and
other information provided by the Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the
xi
Performance Wealth
accuracy and completeness of the provided information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the
Advisor 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 Advisor 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 Advisor’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.
• Options Contracts
Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of time. Options
contracts are leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single contract to control many shares of
an underlying stock. This leverage can compound gains or losses.
• 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.
• Bond Risks
Bonds are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e., the risk that bond
prices will fall if interest rates rise, and vice versa; the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to
maturity, and the coupon rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e., the risk that any profit gained must
be reinvested at a lower rate than was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e., the risk that the cost
of living and inflation increase at a rate that exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the
investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk, i.e., the risk associated with purchasing a debt instrument
which includes the possibility of the company defaulting on its repayment obligation, (5) rating
downgrades, i.e., the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the company’s rating which
impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6) Liquidity Risks, i.e., the
risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the bond.
xii
Performance Wealth
• Using Margin
You can lose more funds than you deposit in the margin account. A decline in the value of securities you
purchased on margin may require you to provide additional funds or margin-eligible securities to avoid
the forced sale of any securities or assets in your account(s).
• Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”)
Investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) involves certain distinct risks in addition to those risks
associated with investing in the real estate industry in general. For example, equity REITs may be affected
by changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the REITs, while mortgage REITs may be
affected by the quality of credit extended. REITs are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by
borrowers, and self-liquidation. REITs, especially mortgage REITs, are also subject to interest rate risk (i.e.,
as interest rates rise, the value of the REIT may decline).
• Alternative Investments (Limited Partnerships)
The performance of alternative investments (limited partnerships) can be volatile and may have limited
liquidity. An investor could lose all or a portion of their investment. Such investments often have
concentrated positions and investments that may carry higher risks. Clients should only have a portion of
their assets in these investments.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments
involves a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be financially able to tolerate the risk of
capital loss. Clients are reminded to discuss these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers such as Performance Wealth are required to disclose all material facts
regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to a client’s or prospective client’s
evaluation of Performance Wealth or the integrity of its management. Performance Wealth does not have
any such legal or disciplinary events and thus has no information to disclose with respect to this item.
Performance Wealth values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to
perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The
backgrounds of the Advisor and its Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public
Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD#
311735.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Special Administrator to Private Funds
Performance Wealth also serves as a special administrator to one or more Private Funds. In such instances,
Performance Wealth will perform administrative duties such as the delivering of all inquiries from Clients
about the Private Fund to the General Partner and at the request of the General Partner deliver all
communications from the General Partner to Clients and otherwise interface with Clients with respect to
Private Fund matters. The respective Services are further detailed in the offering documents for the
Private Fund.
Performance Wealth, when deemed to be in a Client’s best interest, will recommend that Clients invest
in the Private Fund. Certain management persons will also be entitled to receive a portion of the carried

interest as otherwise payable to the general partner of the Private Fund as outlined in Item 6 above. As a
result of the compensation arrangement, a conflict of interest exists as the Advisor and certain
management persons have a financial incentive to recommend that Client place assets into the Private
Fund. In order to mitigate this conflict, the Advisor will forego any wealth management fees for any Client
assets invested into the Private Fund and will only place Client’s into the Private Fund when its deemed
to be in the Client’s best interest.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions, and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Performance Wealth has adopted a code of ethics in\ compliance with applicable securities laws (“Code
of Ethics”) that sets forth the standards of conduct expected of its Supervised Persons. Performance
Wealth’s Code of Ethics contains written policies reasonably designed to prevent certain unlawful
practices, such as the use of material nonpublic information by the Firm or any of its Supervised Persons
and the trading by the same of securities ahead of clients in order to take advantage of pending orders.
Performance Wealth and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith toward
each Client. It is the obligation of Performance Wealth’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the
specific provisions of the Code but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a
range of topics that address employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code,
please contact the Advisor at (630) 686-5715.
Personal Trading with Material Interest
Performance Wealth allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be
recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Performance Wealth does not act as a principal in
any transactions. In addition, the Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund or advise an
investment company. Performance Wealth does not have a material interest in any securities traded in
Client accounts.
Personal Trading with Material Interest
The Code of Ethics also requires certain of Performance Wealth’s personnel to report their personal
securities holdings and transactions and obtain pre-approval of certain investments (e.g., initial public
offerings, limited offerings). However, the Firm’s Supervised Persons are permitted to buy or sell securities
that it also recommends to clients if done in a fair and equitable manner that is consistent with the Firm’s
policies and procedures. This Code of Ethics has been established recognizing that some securities trade
in sufficiently broad markets to permit transactions by certain personnel to be completed without any
appreciable impact on the markets of such securities. Therefore, under limited circumstances, exceptions
may be made to the policies stated below.
When the Advisor is engaging in or considering a transaction in any security on behalf of a client, no
Supervised Person with access to this information may knowingly affect for themselves or for their
immediate family (i.e., spouse, minor children, and adults living in the same household) a transaction in
that security unless:
the transaction has been completed;
the transaction for the Supervised Person is completed as part of a batch trade with clients; or
•
•
• a decision has been made not to engage in the transaction for the client.

end mutual funds.
Clients and prospective clients may contact Performance Wealth to request a copy of its Code of Ethics by
contacting the Firm at the phone number on the cover page of this brochure.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Recommendation of Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions
Performance Wealth does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for
custody and execution services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the
"Custodian") to safeguard Client assets and authorize Performance Wealth to direct trades to the
Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement. Further, Performance Wealth does not
have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where Performance Wealth does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may
recommend the Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use
the recommended Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with
using a custodian not recommended by Performance Wealth. However, if the recommended Custodian is
not engaged, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide. Performance Wealth may
recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions
charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, and its reputation and/or the location of the
Custodian’s offices.
Performance Wealth will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab
& Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), CRD# 5393 or Northern Trust Securities, Inc. (“Northern Trust”), CRD# 7927.
Schwab and Northern Trust (each a “Custodian” and collectively the “Custodians”) are FINRA-registered
broker-dealers and members of SIPC. Schwab and Northern Trust will serve as Client’s “qualified
custodians.” Performance Wealth maintains an institutional relationship with the Custodians, whereby
the Advisor receives economic benefits from the Custodians. Please see Item 14 below.
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars – Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians
whereby an advisor enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-
dealer/custodian in exchange for research and other services. Performance Wealth does not
participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-dealer/custodian.
However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian. Please see
Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals – Performance Wealth does not receive any compensation from any
third party in connection with the recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage – All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis,” where
Performance Wealth will place trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian
designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are traded within their respective
xv
Performance Wealth
account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security
from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e.,
purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). Performance
Wealth will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does
not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. These costs are
determined by the Custodian.
Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to
obtain the most favorable net results, taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3)
difficulty of execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. Performance Wealth may
aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian
for multiple (discretionary) accounts on the same trading day. If a block trade cannot be executed in full
at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business day must
be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This
must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any particular Client
accounts.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Periodic Reviews
Performance Wealth reviews clients’ accounts for appropriateness and relative value of investments.
Securities in client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Advisory Persons of
Performance Wealth. Formal account reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more
frequently depending on the needs of the Client. Performance Wealth determines the frequency, depth,
and nature of reviews based on the terms of each client’s advisory agreement, mandate, and particular
needs as they may be communicated to us by the client. We conduct reviews to determine if an account’s
holdings are consistent with the investment objectives and restrictions imposed by the client.
Causes for Reviews
Performance Wealth may review accounts during other periods based upon certain trigger factors,
including significant market events, changes in a client’s investment objectives or guidelines, or expected
or unexpected material cash flow in an account. A variation in an investor’s personal life situation or
psychology may trigger a review of accounts. In addition, changes in monetary and fiscal policy, inflation,
supply and demand, geo-political and social factors are monitored continuously. Factors triggering
reviews and perhaps triggering investment changes include changes in regulatory or tax conditions,
changes in the general condition of the economy, changes in currency, stock or bond markets, and
changes in any type of investment vehicle or individual security owned by clients. Clients should
communicate any changes in investment objectives and restrictions as well as changes in financial
conditions to their Performance Wealth Advisor.
Regular Reports
Clients are provided with transaction confirmation notices and regular brokerage account statements
directly from the Custodians to the Client no less than quarterly. The Client may also establish electronic
access to the Custodians’ website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity.
Client brokerages statements will include all positions, transactions, and fees relating to the Client’s
account[s]. From time to time or as otherwise requested, clients may also receive written or electronic
reports from Performance Wealth and/or an outside service provider, which contain certain account
xvi
Performance Wealth
and/or market-related information, such as an inventory of account holdings or account performance.
Clients should compare the account statements they receive from their Custodian[s] with any documents
or reports they receive from Performance Wealth or an outside service provider.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Compensation Received by Performance Wealth
Performance Wealth is a fee-based advisory firm that is compensated solely by its Clients and not from
any investment product. Performance Wealth does not receive commissions or other compensation from
product sponsors, broker-dealers, or any unrelated third party. Performance Wealth 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, Performance Wealth may
receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third parties.
Participation in the Institutional Advisor Platform (Schwab)
As noted in Item 12, Performance Wealth has established an institutional relationship with Schwab
through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent
advisory firms like Performance Wealth. As a registered investment advisor participating on the Schwab
Advisor Services platform, Performance Wealth receives access to software and related support without
cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that maintain assets at
Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor, and many, but not all, services
provided by Schwab will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all
times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of
economic benefits from a custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the
Advisor's recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems
support, or services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range
of investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of the Client’s funds and
securities. Through Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that
the Client would not be able to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able
to invest in certain mutual funds and other investments without having to adhere to investment
minimums that might be required if the Client were to directly access the investments.
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to
technology, research, discounts, and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements
for Client accounts, the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back office support services as
part of its relationship with Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively
managing accounts for its Clients but may not directly benefit all Clients.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services and financial support to
Performance Wealth that may not benefit the Client, including educational conferences and events,
financial start-up support, consulting services, and discounts for various service providers. Access to these
services creates a financial incentive for the Advisor to recommend Schwab, which results in a conflict of
interest. Performance Wealth believes, however, that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best
interests of its Clients.
xvii
Performance Wealth
Participation in the Institutional Advisor Platform (Northern Trust)
As also disclosed in Item 12, Performance Wealth has established institutional relationships with Northern
Trust to assist the Advisor in managing Client account[s]. Access to the Northern Trust platform is provided
at no charge to the Advisor. The Advisor receives access to software and related support without cost
because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that maintain assets at Northern
Trust. The software and related systems support may benefit the Advisor but not its Clients directly. In
fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first.
Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from Custodians creates a conflict
of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's recommendation of this Custodian over one that
does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services. Additionally, the Advisor will receive the
following benefits from Northern Trust, receipt of duplicate Client confirmations and bundled duplicate
statements; access to a trading desk that exclusively services its institutional participants; access to block
trading, which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions and then allocate the appropriate
shares to Client accounts; and access to an electronic communication network for Client order entry and
account information.
Compensation for Client Referrals
Performance Wealth does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not
supervised persons for client referrals.
Item 15: Custody
The Advisor is authorized to deduct its fees from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Client must
place all assets with a “qualified custodian”. The Client is required to engage the Custodian to retain all
funds and securities and direct the Advisor to utilize that Custodian for security transactions in the
account[s]. The Client should review statements provided by the Custodian, as the Custodian does not
perform this review. For more information about custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 –
Brokerage Practices.
If the Client gives the Advisor authority to move money from one account to another account, the Advisor
may have custody of those assets. In order to avoid additional regulatory requirements, the Custodian
and the Advisor have adopted safeguards to ensure that the money movements are completed in
accordance with the Client’s instructions.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Performance Wealth generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or
sold in Client accounts. 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 Performance
Wealth. 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 management agreement
containing a power-of-attorney and all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades
made by Performance Wealth will be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Performance Wealth, in certain circumstances, will also advise on a non-discretionary basis.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Performance Wealth accepts proxy-voting responsibility for securities held in Client accounts when
provided by the Client. The advisory agreement between Performance Wealth and the Client will generally
xviii
Performance Wealth
specify whether or not Performance Wealth has the authority to vote proxies on behalf of a particular
Client.
Performance Wealth has engaged Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc (“Broadridge”), a
third-party, independent proxy advisory firm, to vote proxies in order to mitigate risks involved with any
conflicts of interest that might otherwise arise in the voting of Client proxies. Although Performance
Wealth expects to vote proxies according to Broadridge’s recommendations, certain issues may need to
be considered on a case-by-case basis due to the diverse and continually evolving nature of corporate
governance issues. If such cases should arise, then Performance Wealth will devote appropriate time and
resources to consider those issues.
Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures
Performance Wealth shall vote proxies in the best interest of its Clients and shall not subrogate the Client's
interest to its own. Performance Wealth monitors corporate actions through the Custodian. Performance
Wealth receives notice of upcoming proxy votes, meeting and record dates, and other information on
upcoming corporate actions by companies in which Performance Wealth Clients are shareholders. Clients
may request a copy of Performance Wealth’s proxy voting records free of charge by contacting
Performance Wealth.
Conflicts of Interest in the Voting Process
On occasion, a conflict of interest may exist between the Advisor and the client regarding the outcome of
certain proxy votes. In such cases, the Advisor is committed to resolving the conflict in the best interest
of the Clients before voting the proxy in question.
Class Actions
Performance Wealth does not direct advisory clients’ participation in class actions. Performance Wealth
shall forward any class action documentation inadvertently received to the appropriate advisory clients.
These policies have been written and in place in accordance with Rule 206(4)-6, and Performance Wealth
acts in accordance with those procedures.
Item 18: Financial Information
Performance Wealth does not have any financial impairment that will preclude the Firm from meeting
contractual and fiduciary obligations to clients and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
A balance sheet is not required to be provided because Performance Wealth does not serve as a custodian
for client funds or securities and does not require prepayment of fees of more than $1,200 per client six
months or more in advance.

Item 4 – Services, Fees, and Compensation
A. Services
Performance Wealth Partners, LLC (“Performance Wealth” or the “Advisor”) is a Registered Investment
Adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Performance Wealth provides
its clients with customized investment management services. This Wrap Fee Program Brochure is provided
along with the complete Disclosure Brochure to provide full details of the business practices and fees
when selecting Performance Wealth as your investment advisor.
As part of the investment advisory fees noted in Item 5 of the Disclosure Brochure, Performance Wealth
includes securities transaction fees, custody fees, administrative fees, wire fees, and other fees and
expenses (herein, “Covered Costs”) as part of the overall investment advisory fee. Securities regulations
often refer to this combined fee structure as a “Wrap Fee Program.” The Advisor’s recommended
Custodian does not charge securities transaction fees for exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and equity
trades in Client accounts but typically charges for mutual funds and other types of investments. The
Advisor sponsors the Performance Wealth Wrap Fee Program.
The primary purpose of this Wrap Fee Program Brochure is to provide additional disclosure relating to the
combination of Covered Costs into a single “bundled” investment advisory fee. This Wrap Fee Program
Brochure references back to the Performance Wealth Disclosure Brochure, which this Wrap Fee Program
Brochure serves as an Appendix. Please see Item 4 – Advisory Services of the Disclosure Brochure for
details on Performance Wealth’s investment philosophy and related services.
B. Program Costs
Advisory services provided by Performance Wealth are offered in a wrap fee structure whereby Covered
Costs are included in the overall investment advisory fee paid to Performance Wealth. As the level of
activity in a Client’s account[s] may vary from year to year, the annual cost to the Client may be more or
less than engaging for advisory services where the Covered Costs are borne separately by the Client. The
cost of the Wrap Fee Program varies depending on the services to be provided to each Client; however,
the Client is not charged more if there is higher trading activity or other Covered Costs. A Wrap Fee
structure presents a conflict of interest as the Advisor is incentivized to limit the number of trades placed
in the Client’s account[s] or to utilize securities that do not have transaction fees. As noted above, the
Advisor’s recommended Custodian does not charge securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades
in Client accounts but typically charges for mutual funds and other types of investments. As such, the
Advisor is incentivized to utilize ETFs and other equity securities to limit the overall cost to the Advisor.
The Advisor will only place Client assets into a Wrap Fee Program when it is believed to be in the Client’s
best interest. Please see Item 5 – Fees and Compensation of the Disclosure Brochure for complete details
on fees.
Schwab has eliminated commissions for online trades of equities, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and
options (subject to a $0.65 per contract fee). This means that, in most cases, when Performance Wealth
buys and sells these types of securities, Performance Wealth will not have to pay any commissions to
Schwab. Performance Wealth encourages clients to review Schwab’s pricing to compare the total costs of
entering into a wrap fee arrangement versus a non-wrap fee arrangement. If clients choose to enter into
a wrap fee arrangement, their total cost to invest could exceed the cost of paying for brokerage and
advisory services separately. To see what clients would pay for transactions in a non-wrap account, please
refer to Schwab’s most recent pricing schedules available at www.schwab.com/legal/schwab-pricing-
guide-for-individual-investors.
- xxii -
Performance Wealth
C. Fees
As noted above, the Wrap Fee Program includes Covered Costs incurred in connection with the
discretionary investment management services provided by Performance Wealth as part of its overall
investment advisory fee.
Wealth management fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms
of the wealth management agreement. Wealth management fees are based on the market value of assets
under management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Wealth management fees typically range
from 0.75% to 2.00% annually, based on several factors, including the complexity of the services to be
provided, the level of assets to be managed, and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships
with multiple objectives, specific reporting requirements, portfolio restrictions, and other complexities
may be charged a higher fee. The Advisor may negotiate a fee that differs from the range above for certain
account[s] or holdings.
The wealth management fee for new accounts is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to
the end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees
will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held
in accounts managed by Performance Wealth will be independently valued by the Custodian. Performance
Wealth will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuations.
Wealth management fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s
account[s] at the Custodian. The Advisor or its delegate shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating
the amount of the fees to be deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the respective quarter-end date.
The amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate [{annual rate divided by the number of days
in the year), multiplied by the number of days in the quarter] to the assets under management with
Performance Wealth at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be provided a statement, at least
quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting the deduction of the wealth management fee. It is the
responsibility of the Client to verify the accuracy of these fees as listed on the Custodian’s brokerage
statement, as the Custodian does not assume this responsibility. Clients provide written authorization
permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Performance Wealth directly from their account[s] held by the
Custodian as part of the wealth management agreement and separate account forms provided by the
Custodian. Certain assets under management may be excluded from the wealth management fee.
In addition, all fees paid to Performance for investment advisory services or part of the Wrap Fee Program
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. Securities transaction
fees for Client-directed trades may be charged back to the Client. In connection with the discretionary
investment management services provided by Performance Wealth, the Client will incur other costs
assessed by the Custodian or other third parties other than the Covered Costs noted above. The Advisor
does not control nor share in these fees. The Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s]
and the fees charged by Performance Wealth to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please see Item
5.C. – Other Fees and Expenses in the Disclosure Brochure (included with this Wrap Fee Program
Brochure).
- xxiii -
Performance Wealth
D. Compensation
Performance Wealth is the sponsor and portfolio manager of this Wrap Fee Program. Performance Wealth
receives investment advisory fees paid by Clients for participating in the Wrap Fee Program and pays the
Covered Costs associated with the management of the Client’s account[s].
Item 5 – Account Requirements and Types of Clients
Performance Wealth generally requests a minimum relationship size of $500,000 to participate in the
Wrap Fee Program but does reserve the right to accept or decline a potential client for any reason at our
sole discretion. Mutual fund investment options considered for our Wrap Fee Programs may impose
investment minimums as described in the funds’ prospectuses, which are available from your Advisor.
Performance Wealth reserves the right to negotiate fees or accept accounts below our stated minimums.
The Wrap Program generally serves individuals, high-net-worth individuals, trusts, estates, charitable
organizations, corporations and business entities, and retirement plans. Please see Item 7 – Types of
Clients in the Disclosure Brochure for additional information
Item 6 – Portfolio Manager Section and Evaluation
Portfolio Manager Selection
Performance Wealth is both the Sponsor and Portfolio Manager for the services under the Wrap Fee
Program. Performance Wealth will not select any outside manager for the Program.
Related Persons
Performance Wealth’s personnel serve as portfolio managers for this Wrap Fee Program. Performance
Wealth does not serve as a portfolio manager for any third-party Wrap Fee Programs. Accordingly, no
related person will be chosen as a portfolio manager for this Wrap Fee Program.
Performance-Based Fees
Performance Wealth does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The
fees charged by Performance Wealth are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital
appreciation of the funds or securities held by any Client.
Performance Wealth does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for
example, a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular
investment options to its Clients.
Supervised Persons
Performance Wealth’s Advisory Persons serve as portfolio managers for all accounts, including the
services described in this Wrap Fee Program Brochure. Details of the advisory services provided are
included in Item 4.A. of the Disclosure Brochure.
Methods of Analysis
Please see Item 8 of the Disclosure Brochure (included with this Wrap Fee Program Brochure) for details
on the research and analysis methods employed by the Advisor.
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. Performance Wealth will assist Clients in
- xxiv -
Performance Wealth
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 Advisor 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 Advisor monitors these
economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on
the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 9 – Review of Accounts.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time
horizon, tolerance for risk, and other factors to develop an 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 Advisor 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
Advisor 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 Advisor 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 Advisor’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.
•
Options Contracts
Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of time. Options
contracts are leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single contract to control many shares of
an underlying stock. This leverage can compound gains or losses.
•
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.
•
Using Margin
You can lose more funds than you deposit in the margin account. A decline in the value of securities you
- xxv -
Performance Wealth
purchased on margin may require you to provide additional funds or margin-eligible securities to avoid
the forced sale of any securities or assets in your account(s).
• Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”)
Investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) involves certain distinct risks in addition to those risks
associated with investing in the real estate industry in general. For example, equity REITs may be affected
by changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the REITs, while mortgage REITs may be
affected by the quality of credit extended. REITs are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by
borrowers, and self-liquidation. REITs, especially mortgage REITs, are also subject to interest rate risk (i.e.,
as interest rates rise, the value of the REIT may decline).
• Alternative Investments (Limited Partnerships)
The performance of alternative investments (limited partnerships) can be volatile and may have limited
liquidity. An investor could lose all or a portion of their investment. Such investments often have
concentrated positions and investments that may carry higher risks. Clients should only have a portion of
their assets in these investments.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments
involves a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded
to discuss these risks with the Advisor. Please see Item 8.B. – Risk of Loss in the Disclosure Brochure for
details on investment risks.
Voting Client Securities
Performance Wealth accepts proxy-voting responsibility for securities held in Client accounts when
provided by the Client. The advisory agreement between Performance Wealth and the Client will generally
specify whether or not Performance Wealth has the authority to vote proxies on behalf of a particular
Client.
Performance Wealth has engaged Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc (“Broadridge”), a
third-party, independent proxy advisory firm, to vote proxies in order to mitigate risks involved with any
conflicts of interest that might otherwise arise in the voting of Client proxies. Although Performance
Wealth expects to vote proxies according to Broadridge’s recommendations, certain issues may need to
be considered on a case-by-case basis due to the diverse and continually evolving nature of corporate
governance issues. If such cases should arise, then Performance Wealth will devote appropriate time and
resources to consider those issues.
Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures
Performance Wealth shall vote proxies in the best interest of its Clients and shall not subrogate the Client's
interest to its own. Performance Wealth monitors corporate actions through the Custodian. Performance
Wealth receives notice of upcoming proxy votes, meeting and record dates, and other information on
upcoming corporate actions by companies in which Performance Wealth Clients are shareholders. Clients
may request a copy of Performance Wealth’s proxy voting records free of charge by contacting
Performance Wealth.
Conflicts of Interest in the Voting Process
On occasion, a conflict of interest may exist between the Advisor and the client regarding the outcome of
certain proxy votes. In such cases, the Advisor is committed to resolving the conflict in the best interest
of the Clients before voting the proxy in question.

Class Actions
Performance Wealth does not direct advisory clients’ participation in class actions. Performance Wealth
shall forward any class action documentation inadvertently received to the appropriate advisory clients.
These policies have been written and in place in accordance with Rule 206(4)-6, and Performance Wealth
acts in accordance with those procedures.
Item 7 – Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers
Performance Wealth is the sponsor and sole portfolio manager for the Program. The Advisor does not
share Client information with other portfolio managers because the Advisor is the sole portfolio manager
for this Wrap Fee Program. The personal information clients provide Performance Wealth at account
opening, including, without limitation, your social security number, net worth, annual income, etc., is
accessible to Performance Wealth and its Advisory Persons. Client personal information is protected in
accordance with Performance Wealth’s privacy policy, which is available on Performance Wealth’s
website, www.performancewealthpartners.com, or clients may request a copy from Performance Wealth.
Item 8 – Client Contact with Portfolio Managers
Performance Wealth is a full-service investment management advisory firm. Your contact for information
and consultation regarding your wrap-fee program account is your Financial Advisor. Performance Wealth
places no restrictions on the client’s ability to contact portfolio managers, who can be reached during
regular business hours using the contact information on the cover page of this brochure.
Item 9 – Additional Information
Disciplinary Information

have occurred that are applicable to this item.

Person’s Brochure Supplement (included as a separate document to this Wrap Fee Program Brochure) for

Code of Ethics, Review of Accounts, Client Referrals, and Financial Information

to each Client. This Code of Ethics applies to all persons subject to Performance Wealth’s compliance
program (“Supervised Persons”). Complete details on the Performance Wealth Code of Ethics can be

Performance Wealth
Other Compensation Participation in the Institutional Advisor Platform
Performance Wealth has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab
Advisor Services” unit, a division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like
Performance Wealth. As a registered investment advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services
platform, Performance Wealth receives access to software and related support without cost because the
Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that maintain assets at Schwab. Services
provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor, and many, but not all, services provided by
Schwab will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put
the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits
from a custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's
recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or
services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range
of investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of the Client’s funds and
securities. Through Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that
the Client would not be able to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able
to invest in certain mutual funds and other investments without having to adhere to investment
minimums that might be required if the Client were to directly access the investments.
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to
technology, research, discounts, and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements
for Client accounts, the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back office support services as
part of its relationship with Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively
managing accounts for its Clients but may not directly benefit all Clients.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services and financial support to
Performance Wealth that may not benefit the Client, including educational conferences and events,
financial start-up support, consulting services, and discounts for various service providers. Access to these
services creates a financial incentive for the Advisor to recommend Schwab, which results in a conflict of
interest. Performance Wealth believes, however, that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best
interests of its Clients.
Please see Item 14 – Other Compensation of the Disclosure Brochure for details on additional
compensation that may be received by Performance Wealth or its Advisory Persons. Each Advisory
Person’s Brochure Supplement provides details on any outside business activities and the associated
compensation.
Financial Information
Performance Wealth does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client six
months or more in advance. Therefore, we are not required to include a balance sheet for the most recent
fiscal year. Performance Wealth has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time.
