Item 4 – Advisory Business
A. Description of the Advisory Firm
Physician Wealth Solutions Inc. (“PWS”) is a registered investment adviser with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). PWS is a fee-only investment advisory
and financial planning firm. PWS conducts business under the name Physician Wealth
Solutions.
PWS was established in September 2013. The firm is owned and controlled by its
principal, Setu Mazumdar.
B. Types of Advisory Services
PWS provides the following primary advisory services:
Investment management services for individuals and families
•
• Financial planning services for individuals and families
• Retirement plan consulting services for retirement plan sponsors and plan
participants
More detailed information regarding fees and compensation for these services is
provided in Item 5 – Fees and Compensation.
Investment Management Services
PWS provides discretionary investment management services to individuals and
families. Investment management services include the ongoing and continuous
supervision of client investment portfolios held in accounts mutually agreed upon by the
client and PWS. These accounts may include, but are not limited to, taxable brokerage
accounts, traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP IRAs, and other retirement and investment
accounts.
Clients grant PWS discretionary authority to manage their accounts, which allows PWS
to determine the securities to be bought or sold, the amount of securities to be bought
or sold, and the timing of such transactions, without obtaining prior client approval for
each transaction. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on the management of
their accounts, which must be provided to PWS in writing.
PWS primarily constructs and manages portfolios using broadly diversified mutual funds
and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). These investments are designed to provide
diversified exposure across asset classes, with an emphasis on cost efficiency, tax
awareness, and long-term risk-adjusted returns. PWS does not engage in frequent
trading or short-term speculation.
6
Assets Under Advisement / Held-Away Asset Services
At a client’s request, PWS provides advisory services with respect to assets that are not
directly managed by PWS and are held at unaffiliated custodians (“held-away assets”).
These assets may include, but are not limited to, employer-sponsored retirement plans
(such as 401(k) or 403(b) plans), 529 education savings plans, annuities, trusts, or
accounts held at other financial institutions.
For held-away assets, PWS provides advice, monitoring, and recommendations and
may incorporate such assets into the client’s overall financial plan or asset allocation.
PWS does not have authority to execute transactions in held-away accounts. The client
remains solely responsible for implementing any recommendations related to such
accounts.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning services are provided to clients as part of PWS’s overall advisory
relationship and are included under the client’s advisory agreement. PWS does not offer
financial planning as a standalone service separate from its investment advisory
services.
Financial planning services may include, but are not limited to, analysis and
recommendations related to retirement planning, investment strategy, cash flow and
savings planning, tax planning strategies, insurance planning, education funding, estate
planning considerations, and other financial matters. The scope and depth of financial
planning services provided will vary based on the client’s individual needs, goals, and
preferences.
While financial planning services are available to all clients, clients determine whether
and to what extent they wish to engage in financial planning discussions or analyses.
Some clients may primarily seek investment management services with limited financial
planning support, while others may engage in more comprehensive planning.
Financial planning services are not separately billed and are included as part of the
advisory fee described in Item 5 – Fees and Compensation. Recommendations
provided as part of financial planning services are based on information provided by the
client and may require coordination with other professional advisors, such as
accountants or attorneys. PWS does not provide legal or tax advice.
Retirement Plan Consulting Services
PWS provides retirement plan consulting services to retirement plan sponsors and, in
certain circumstances, to individual participants in employer-sponsored retirement
plans.
7
Fiduciary Retirement Plan Consulting Services
When agreed upon in writing, PWS provides non-discretionary investment advisory
services to retirement plan sponsors and acts as a fiduciary under Section 3(21)(A)(ii) of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) solely with respect to
the provision of investment advice.
Such services may include, but are not limited to:
• Assistance with the development or review of an Investment Policy Statement
(“IPS”)
• Recommendations regarding investment options consistent with the plan’s IPS
• Ongoing monitoring of plan investment options and performance
• Non-discretionary advice regarding asset classes and investment options
• Non-discretionary advice regarding Qualified Default Investment Alternatives
(“QDIAs”)
The plan sponsor retains full responsibility and authority for all investment decisions,
including the selection, monitoring, and replacement of investment options.
PWS does not:
• Exercise discretionary authority or control over plan assets
• Act as an ERISA Section 3(38) investment manager
• Serve as the plan administrator or trustee
•
Interpret plan documents or administer the plan
Non-Fiduciary Retirement Plan Services
PWS may also provide non-fiduciary services to retirement plans, including:
• Participant education regarding general investment principles and plan
investment options
• Assistance with participant enrollment or group education meetings
These services are educational in nature and are intended to comply with Department
of Labor Interpretive Bulletin 96-1. Such services do not include individualized
investment advice unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. Participants are responsible
for implementing transactions in their own accounts.
The specific services provided to a retirement plan client are detailed in the applicable
retirement plan agreement.
8
IRA Rollover Recommendations
PWS may provide investment advice to clients regarding whether to maintain assets in
an employer-sponsored retirement plan, rollover assets to an individual retirement
account (“IRA”), or take a distribution from a retirement plan. When making such
recommendations, PWS considers the client’s individual financial circumstances,
investment objectives, services available under each option, and other relevant factors.
PWS and its supervised persons have a conflict of interest when recommending a
rollover from an employer-sponsored retirement plan to an IRA, because PWS may
earn advisory fees on assets rolled into an IRA, whereas PWS may not earn advisory
fees if the client leaves assets in the employer-sponsored plan. This creates a financial
incentive to recommend a rollover.
To address this conflict, PWS evaluates rollover recommendations based on the client’s
best interest and does not recommend rollovers solely to increase compensation. As
part of this evaluation, PWS seeks to ensure that any compensation received in
connection with rollover assets is reasonable in light of the services provided, and PWS
does not recommend investments or strategies that would result in unreasonable
compensation to PWS or its supervised persons.
Factors that may be considered in evaluating a rollover recommendation include, but
are not limited to:
• The investment options available in the employer-sponsored plan compared to
those available in an IRA
• The services and level of advice available under each option
• Applicable fees and expenses, including whether advisory compensation would
be reasonable relative to the services provided
• The client’s investment objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance
• Distribution flexibility, required minimum distribution considerations, and
withdrawal options
• Estate planning and beneficiary considerations
• The client’s need for ongoing investment management and financial planning
services
Clients are not required to rollover assets into an IRA managed by PWS and may
choose to leave assets in an employer-sponsored plan, rollover assets to an IRA with
another adviser or custodian, or take a distribution, subject to applicable taxes and
penalties.
9
To the extent PWS provides investment advice to a participant in an ERISA-covered
retirement plan regarding whether to maintain assets in the plan, rollover assets to an
IRA, or take a distribution, PWS acknowledges that it is acting as a fiduciary with
respect to such advice and will act in accordance with applicable fiduciary standards.
PWS and its supervised persons agree to act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence
under the circumstances then prevailing, based on the client’s objectives, risk tolerance,
financial circumstances, and needs, and without placing the financial or other interests
of PWS ahead of the client’s interests.
PWS does not receive commissions, sales loads, or third-party compensation in
connection with rollover recommendations. All compensation received by PWS in
connection with rollover assets is limited to the advisory fees described in Item 5 – Fees
and Compensation, which are fully disclosed to clients.
Clients are encouraged to consider all available options and ask questions before
making a rollover decision.
C. Tailoring of Advisory Services
PWS tailors its advisory services to the individual needs and circumstances of each
client. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on their accounts, including
restrictions on specific investments or investment types. PWS gathers information
regarding each client’s financial situation, investment objectives, risk tolerance, and time
horizon through client discussions and questionnaires.
D. Participation in Wrap Fee Programs
PWS does not participate in wrap fee programs.
E. Client Assets Managed by Physician Wealth Solutions Inc.
As of December 31, 2025, Physician Wealth Solutions Inc. managed approximately
$298,874,272 in client assets on a discretionary basis. PWS did not manage any client
assets on a non-discretionary basis as of that date.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
In addition to the information provided in Item 4 – Advisory Business, this section
describes the fees and compensation arrangements for advisory services provided by
Physician Wealth Solutions Inc. (“PWS”).
10
A. Fee Schedules
Investment Management Services for Individuals and Families
PWS provides discretionary investment management services to individuals and
families. Advisory fees are charged either as:
• An asset-based fee calculated as a percentage of assets under management
and advisement, or
• A fixed annual advisory fee
The applicable fee structure is set forth in the client’s advisory agreement and is
determined based on factors such as the size of the client’s portfolio, complexity of the
client’s financial situation, scope of services provided, and other relevant
considerations.
Asset-Based Advisory Fee Schedule
Portfolio Value
Annual Fee
First $1 million
1.0%
Next $1 million
0.8%
Amounts above $2 million 0.6%
Clients are subject to a minimum annual advisory fee. Clients pay the higher of the
minimum annual fee or the fee calculated using the asset-based schedule. Both the fee
schedule and minimum annual fee are negotiable and disclosed in the client agreement.
Portfolio Value is defined as the combined value of investment accounts directly
managed by PWS and, when applicable, certain assets under advisement that are not
directly managed by PWS (“held-away assets”).
Held-away assets may be included in Portfolio Value only when such accounts are
electronically connected and reasonably valued through third-party account aggregation
services or through other methods mutually agreed upon in writing. Although the client
agreement may permit PWS to provide advice on held-away assets, held-away assets
are included for fee-calculation purposes only when reliable account data is available.
If held-away accounts are not connected or otherwise made available for valuation,
such assets are not included in Portfolio Value for billing purposes, even if PWS
provides advisory guidance related to those accounts. Clients remain responsible for
implementing any recommendations related to held-away assets, as PWS does not
have authority to execute transactions in such accounts.
11
Asset-based advisory fees are billed quarterly in advance and calculated using the
Portfolio Value as of the last business day of the preceding calendar quarter.
If advisory services begin during a calendar quarter, the initial advisory fee is prorated
based on the number of days remaining in the quarter and calculated using the Portfolio
Value as of the start date of services (or another date agreed upon in writing).
Thereafter, fees are billed quarterly in advance as described above.
PWS may, in its discretion, agree to charge a lower advisory fee based on factors such
as anticipated future assets, longstanding client relationships, or other circumstances.
Existing clients may be subject to fee schedules that differ from current schedules.
Fixed Annual Advisory Fee
In certain cases, PWS offers investment management services for a fixed annual
advisory fee rather than an asset-based fee. Fixed fees are negotiated based on factors
including, but not limited to, the complexity of the client’s financial situation, number and
type of accounts, scope of services, and total assets under management and
advisement.
Fixed advisory fees are billed quarterly in advance. If advisory services begin during a
calendar quarter, the initial quarterly fee is prorated based on the number of days
remaining in the quarter.
Fixed-fee arrangements may be reviewed periodically and adjusted over time based on
changes in the client’s circumstances, scope of services, or complexity of the
engagement. Any changes to the fixed advisory fee or other material terms are
communicated to the client in writing, in accordance with the client agreement.
The advisory relationship may be terminated by either party at any time in accordance
with the terms of the client agreement. If advisory fees are paid in advance, any
unearned portion of the fee is promptly refunded based on the effective date of
termination.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning services are included as part of PWS’s investment advisory
relationship and are provided pursuant to the client’s advisory agreement. PWS does
not offer financial planning as a standalone service.
The scope and depth of financial planning services vary based on client needs and
preferences. Financial planning services are not separately billed and are included in
the advisory fees described above.
12
Retirement Plan Services
PWS provides retirement plan consulting services to employer-sponsored retirement
plans.
Asset-Based Retirement Plan Fees
For retirement plan clients billed on an asset-based basis, the annual advisory fee is
0.50% of the total market value of plan assets, subject to a minimum annual fee. Clients
pay the higher of the minimum annual fee or the fee calculated based on plan assets.
Both the fee and minimum annual fee are negotiable and disclosed in the applicable
retirement plan agreement.
Retirement plan asset-based fees are billed quarterly in advance and calculated using
the plan asset value as of the last business day of the preceding calendar quarter. If
services begin during a calendar quarter, the initial fee is prorated based on the number
of days remaining in the quarter.
Fixed-Fee Retirement Plan Services
PWS may also offer retirement plan services for a fixed annual fee. Fixed fees are
negotiated based on plan size, complexity, services requested, and other relevant
factors.
Fixed-fee retirement plan services are billed quarterly in advance and prorated if
services begin mid-quarter. Any fee changes must be disclosed in writing and
acknowledged by the client prior to becoming effective.
The retirement plan advisory relationship may be terminated by either party at any time,
in accordance with the terms of the applicable retirement plan agreement. If advisory
fees are paid in advance, any unearned portion of the fee is promptly refunded based
on the effective date of termination.
Fee Reasonableness
PWS believes its advisory fees are reasonable in relation to the services provided and
comparable to those charged by other investment advisers offering similar services.
However, advisory fees charged by PWS may be higher or lower than those charged by
other advisers, and lower-cost alternatives may be available.
Clients should understand that, in addition to PWS’s advisory fees, they will incur other
costs, including mutual fund or ETF expenses and custodial or brokerage charges,
which are not paid to PWS.
13
B. Fee Payment Options
Advisory fees are billed and deducted on a quarterly basis in advance. For asset-based
advisory arrangements, fees are calculated based on the fair market value of the
applicable accounts as of the last business day of the prior calendar quarter.
For clients who pay a fixed advisory fee, the fee amount is established in advance in the
client’s advisory agreement and is billed quarterly in advance, without regard to account
value.
Advisory fees are deducted directly from client accounts held at qualified custodians. In
certain circumstances, including when advisory services involve held-away assets or
retirement plan services for which PWS does not have the ability to directly deduct fees
from the advised accounts, advisory fees may be deducted from another account
designated by the client and held at a qualified custodian.
For clients who begin services during a billing period, advisory fees are prorated based
on the number of days services are provided during the initial quarter.
Clients receive account statements from the qualified custodian(s) reflecting all
transactions, including advisory fee deductions. Qualified custodians do not verify the
accuracy of advisory fee calculations, and clients are encouraged to review their
statements carefully.
C. Other Fees and Charges
PWS does not receive commissions, referral fees, sales loads, markups, or other
transaction-based compensation. PWS does not receive compensation from mutual
fund companies, insurance companies, broker-dealers, or custodians.
Clients will incur third-party costs associated with investments and custodial services,
including mutual fund or ETF expenses and brokerage transaction charges. These fees
are not retained by PWS. Please see the Brokerage section of this Form ADV Part 2A
for more information on brokerage.
D. Refunds and Termination
As stated previously, clients are required to pay investment advisory fees in advance.
For clients billed based on assets under management, advisory fees are calculated
based on the Portfolio Value as of the last business day of the previous calendar
quarter. For example, the advisory fee for the second calendar quarter (April 1 through
June 30) is based on the Portfolio Value as of March 31.
If a client terminates an advisory agreement prior to the end of a billing period, PWS will
promptly refund the unearned portion of any prepaid advisory fees, calculated on a pro
14
rata basis based on the number of days remaining in the billing period. For example, if a
billing quarter consists of 90 days and the advisory agreement is terminated on day 44
of the quarter, PWS will refund 46/90 of the advisory fee paid for that quarter.
Clients may terminate their advisory agreement at any time by providing written notice
to PWS. If an advisory agreement is terminated within five (5) business days of
execution, the client may terminate the agreement without penalty, and any fees paid
will be refunded in full.
E. Compensation for the Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products
PWS is a fee-only investment adviser. PWS and its supervised persons do not accept
compensation for the sale of securities or other investment products and do not receive
asset-based sales charges, service fees, commissions, or markups.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Physician Wealth Solutions Inc. (“PWS”) does not charge performance-based fees.
Performance-based fees are defined as advisory fees that are based on a share of
capital gains or capital appreciation of client assets.
Because PWS does not charge performance-based fees, it does not engage in side-by-
side management that would create conflicts between accounts charged performance-
based fees and accounts charged asset-based or fixed advisory fees.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
PWS provides investment advisory services to the following types of clients:
Individuals and families
•
• Pension and profit-sharing plans (including retirement plan sponsors and
participants)
• Trusts, estates, and charitable organizations
• Corporations and other business entities
Minimum Investment Amounts
PWS does not impose a minimum asset level for opening or maintaining an advisory
account. However, clients are subject to a negotiable minimum annual advisory fee,
which is disclosed in the client’s advisory agreement.
15
The minimum annual advisory fee may be waived or reduced at PWS’s discretion based
on factors such as the complexity of the client’s financial situation, anticipated future
assets, existing client relationships, or other circumstances.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
Physician Wealth Solutions Inc. (“PWS”) provides investment advisory services using a
long-term, goals-based investment approach. Investment advice is developed based on
each client’s financial circumstances, objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance.
PWS’s methods of analysis may include, but are not limited to:
• Client Risk Assessment – Evaluating a client’s ability, willingness, and need to
take investment risk
• Asset Allocation Analysis – Determining an appropriate mix of asset classes
designed to align with the client’s objectives and risk profile
• Cost and Expense Analysis – Evaluating investment expenses to seek cost-
efficient portfolio construction
• Diversification Analysis – Reviewing diversification across and within asset
classes
• Tax Considerations – Considering tax efficiency, including asset location and the
use of tax-efficient investment vehicles when appropriate
PWS relies on information from a variety of sources in developing investment advice,
including financial publications, investment research, academic studies, fund
prospectuses and reports, and data provided by custodians and third-party service
providers.
PWS’s investment philosophy and strategies are guided by the following principles:
• Market Efficiency – PWS believes that capital markets reflect available
information, making it difficult to consistently outperform the market over long
periods through market timing or security selection. Accordingly, PWS does not
engage in market timing or short-term trading strategies.
• Asset Allocation Emphasis – PWS believes asset allocation is a primary driver of
long-term portfolio outcomes and focuses on constructing portfolios aligned with
client objectives rather than attempting to select individual securities.
• Risk and Return Tradeoff – Higher expected returns are associated with higher
levels of risk. PWS seeks to align portfolio risk with the client’s tolerance and
financial goals.
• Broad Diversification – Portfolios are diversified across multiple asset classes
and regions to reduce concentration risk.
16
• Passive and Rules-Based Investing – PWS recommends broadly diversified
mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), including index and asset-
class-based funds.
• Cost Efficiency – PWS seeks to minimize investment expenses and transaction
costs over time.
• Portfolio Monitoring and Rebalancing – Client portfolios are monitored and
periodically rebalanced to maintain alignment with target allocations.
• Tax-Aware Portfolio Management – For taxable accounts, PWS considers tax
efficiency, including asset location and the use of tax-efficient investment
vehicles when appropriate.
Investing in securities involves risk of loss, including the possible loss of principal, and
clients should be prepared to bear such losses. PWS does not guarantee investment
results and does not assure that any investment strategy will be successful.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves risk of loss. Clients should be prepared to bear
investment losses, including the possible loss of principal. Past performance is not
indicative of future results, and no assurance can be given that any investment objective
will be achieved.
The investment strategies and methods of analysis used by PWS involve various risks,
including but not limited to:
• Market Risk – The risk that market values will decline due to economic, political,
or other factors.
• Asset Allocation Risk – Asset allocation decisions limit participation in certain
•
market segments that perform better than others.
Interest Rate Risk – Rising interest rates negatively affect the value of fixed-
income investments.
Inflation Risk – Inflation erodes the purchasing power of investment returns.
•
• Reinvestment Risk – Income from investments is reinvested at lower rates of
return.
• Currency Risk – International investments affected by changes in foreign
currency exchange rates.
• Political and Regulatory Risk – Domestic or foreign political or regulatory
changes negatively impact investments.
• Liquidity Risk – Some investments are difficult to sell at favorable prices or within
a reasonable time frame.
• Manager Risk – Investment results depend on the effectiveness of fund
managers or index methodologies.
• Tracking Error Risk – Index-based investments do not perfectly track their
underlying benchmarks.
17
• ETF and Mutual Fund Risk – Clients bear their proportionate share of fund
expenses and are subject to the risks of the underlying securities held by the
fund. ETFs also incur brokerage costs.
There can be additional risks associated with specific investments or market conditions
that are not described above.
C. Primarily Recommend a Particular Type of Security
PWS recommends mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), including index
and asset-class-based funds. These investment vehicles are subject to the risks
described above, as well as the risks inherent in the underlying securities they hold.

partnerships that would create a material conflict of interest.

adviser in the event of certain unforeseen circumstances affecting PWS. This
arrangement is intended to provide continuity of advisory services to clients and does
not involve any ongoing compensation, referral fees, or revenue sharing during normal
operations.
Clients are not obligated to transition their accounts to any successor adviser and may
choose another adviser at their discretion. Additional information regarding this
arrangement is available upon request.
D. Selection of Other Advisers
PWS may recommend or coordinate with unaffiliated investment advisers or other
professionals when appropriate for a client’s needs. PWS does not receive
compensation, directly or indirectly, for recommending other investment advisers or
service providers.
E. Other Business Activities
PWS’s principal devotes all professional time to the investment advisory business of
PWS. Neither PWS nor its principal is engaged in any other business activities that are
material to this advisory business.

Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions, and
Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Physician Wealth Solutions Inc. (“PWS”) has adopted a Code of Ethics pursuant to Rule
204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. PWS’s Code of Ethics is based on
the principle that PWS and its supervised persons owe a fiduciary duty to clients and
must place clients’ interests ahead of their own.
The Code of Ethics includes, among other things:
• Standards of business conduct reflecting PWS’s fiduciary obligations
• Requirements that supervised persons comply with applicable federal and state
securities laws
• Policies governing personal securities transactions and reporting of personal
securities holdings and transactions
• Requirements that supervised persons report violations of the Code of Ethics to
the Chief Compliance Officer
• Procedures requiring supervised persons to receive a copy of the Code of Ethics
and acknowledge receipt
A copy of the Code of Ethics is available to clients and prospective clients upon request.
B. Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
PWS does not buy or sell securities for client accounts in which PWS or its supervised
persons have a material financial interest.
PWS and its supervised persons do not engage in principal transactions or agency
cross transactions with client accounts.
C. Personal Securities Trading
PWS and its supervised persons may buy or sell securities for their personal accounts
that are also recommended to, or purchased or sold for, client accounts. This practice
creates a potential conflict of interest because supervised persons could benefit from
owning securities that are also recommended to clients.
To address this conflict, PWS has adopted policies and procedures under its Code of
Ethics designed to reasonably ensure that client interests are placed first. These
policies include monitoring and review of personal securities transactions and holdings,
as well as ongoing oversight for potential conflicts between personal trading and client
activity. These controls are intended to ensure that personal trading is conducted in a
manner consistent with PWS’s fiduciary obligations.
20
D. Trading at or About the Same Time as Client Transactions
PWS and its supervised persons may buy or sell securities in their personal accounts at
or about the same time that PWS recommends, purchases, or sells the same securities
for client accounts. This practice creates a potential conflict of interest because personal
trades could be executed before or alongside client transactions.
PWS addresses this conflict through its Code of Ethics and supervisory procedures,
which are designed to reasonably ensure that client transactions receive priority over
personal transactions. Personal trading activity is subject to review by the Chief
Compliance Officer, and PWS seeks to prevent practices such as front-running or other
improper use of information regarding client trading activity.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
This section describes the brokerage practices of Physician Wealth Solutions Inc.
(“PWS”) and supplements the information provided in Item 5 – Fees and Compensation.
A. Selection of Brokerage Firms
PWS recommends that clients maintain their investment accounts at Charles Schwab &
Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC.
Schwab typically serves as custodian and executing broker for client accounts.
Clients are not required to use Schwab and may direct PWS to use a different broker-
dealer or custodian. However, directing brokerage may result in higher transaction
costs, less favorable execution, or limitations on available investment products or
services.
In recommending a broker-dealer or custodian, PWS considers a variety of factors,
including, but not limited to:
• Quality and reliability of trade execution
• Overall costs of execution and custody
• Financial strength and stability
• Availability of investment products and services
• Technology, reporting, and operational support
• Ability to deduct advisory fees from client accounts
• Responsiveness and service
PWS seeks to recommend broker-dealers that provide best execution, which means
execution of securities transactions in a manner PWS reasonably believes is in the
client’s best interest, considering the totality of the circumstances.
21
Schwab Institutional Relationship and Conflicts of Interest
Schwab provides PWS with access to institutional brokerage and custody services,
including custody of client assets, execution of securities transactions, trade
confirmation and account statements, practice management support, research, and
access to technology platforms. These services are provided to PWS at no direct cost
and are available to other investment advisers that maintain a relationship with Schwab.
The commissions charged by Schwab can be higher than the commissions charged by
a broker-dealer that does not provide research and execution services. Any research or
other services provided to PWS by Schwab are used to service all client accounts.
As a result of this relationship, PWS has an incentive to recommend Schwab as
custodian and broker-dealer, which presents a potential conflict of interest. PWS
addresses this conflict by evaluating Schwab’s services based on the overall value and
quality provided to clients and by not allowing these benefits to affect trade execution
decisions.
PWS does not receive commissions, transaction-based compensation, referral fees, or
any portion of the brokerage commissions charged by Schwab.
PWS believes that Schwab’s services, pricing, and execution capabilities are
reasonable and in the best interests of clients.
Soft Dollar Practices
PWS does not participate in formal soft-dollar arrangements as defined under Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. PWS does not use client brokerage
commissions to obtain research or other products or services.
Any non-research benefits received from Schwab are used to support PWS’s overall
advisory business and benefit all client accounts. PWS does not attempt to allocate
such benefits to specific client accounts based on trading activity.
Directed Brokerage
Clients may direct PWS to use a broker-dealer other than Schwab. However, directed
brokerage may result in higher transaction costs, less favorable execution, or reduced
access to certain investment products or services. PWS will follow a client’s direction to
the extent reasonably practicable but cannot guarantee best execution under directed
brokerage arrangements.
B. Trading Practices and Aggregation of Orders
PWS places trades for client accounts on an individual basis and may aggregate orders
for multiple client accounts when it determines that aggregation is consistent with its
duty to seek best execution and is fair and equitable to clients.
22
When orders are aggregated, trades are allocated among participating accounts in a
manner PWS believes is equitable over time. Allocations are generally based on
account size or other relevant factors and are not based on account performance or fee
structure.
Accounts owned by PWS or its supervised persons may participate in aggregated
transactions alongside client accounts. Such participation is conducted in accordance
with PWS’s Code of Ethics, and PWS does not give preferential treatment to proprietary
or personal accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Periodic Reviews
Client investment accounts are monitored on an ongoing basis as part of PWS’s
discretionary portfolio management services.
PWS conducts a review of each client’s investment account and overall portfolio at least
annually. This review generally includes evaluation of asset allocation, investment
objectives, risk tolerance, cash flows, and overall financial circumstances. Portfolio
rebalancing is typically performed in connection with this review.
In addition, financial planning matters are reviewed periodically, and for most clients are
reviewed at least annually as part of the ongoing advisory relationship. Financial plan
reviews may include, as applicable, a review of cash flow, retirement planning
assumptions, tax considerations, insurance planning, education funding, estate planning
coordination, and other client-specific planning topics. The timing and scope of financial
plan reviews may vary based on client needs, preferences, and changes in
circumstances.
All periodic account and financial plan reviews are conducted by Setu Mazumdar,
President and Investment Adviser Representative of PWS.
B. Review Triggers
In addition to periodic annual reviews, client accounts are reviewed on an event-driven
basis when certain factors occur. These factors may include, but are not limited to:
• New contributions or deposits
• Dividends or interest paid in cash
• Withdrawal requests or distributions
• Changes in account structure or holdings
• Other client-initiated requests or material changes in circumstances
23
When such events occur, PWS reviews the affected account(s) to determine
appropriate investment allocation, reinvestment decisions, or funding sources for
withdrawals consistent with the client’s overall strategy.
C. Reports and Statements
Clients receive account statements at least quarterly directly from the qualified
custodian holding their assets. These statements reflect account activity, holdings, and
values.
PWS does not provide formal written performance reports independent of custodian
statements.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Economic Benefits Provided by Third Parties
PWS does not receive economic benefits, sales awards, or other compensation from
third parties in connection with providing investment advice to clients.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
PWS does not compensate any person or entity for client referrals and does not
participate in referral fee arrangements.
Item 15 – Custody
Physician Wealth Solutions Inc. (“PWS”) does not maintain physical custody of client
funds or securities. Client assets are held with qualified custodians in accounts
maintained in the client’s name.
However, under applicable regulations, an investment adviser is deemed to have
custody when it has access to, or control over, client funds or securities, even if the
adviser does not physically hold those assets.
Fee Deduction Authority
PWS is deemed to have custody of client funds solely because it has authority to deduct
advisory fees directly from client accounts held at qualified custodians, pursuant to
written client authorization.
24
Clients receive account statements at least quarterly directly from the qualified
custodian showing all transactions, including advisory fee deductions. Clients are urged
to review these statements carefully and to compare them with any information provided
by PWS.
Standing Letters of Authorization (SLOAs)
In certain cases, clients may grant PWS standing authority to disburse funds from their
accounts to a designated third party pursuant to a standing letter of authorization
(“SLOA”). PWS’s authority under any SLOA is limited to directing transfers in
accordance with the client’s written instructions.
PWS does not have authority to designate or change the recipient, amount, or timing of
such transfers, except as expressly authorized by the client.
PWS relies on safeguards established by the qualified custodian and consistent with
guidance provided by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in its February
2017 no-action letter regarding the Custody Rule, including the following:
• The client provides written instructions to the qualified custodian specifying the
recipient and transfer details
• The client authorizes PWS, in writing, to direct transfers in accordance with those
instructions
• The qualified custodian verifies the client’s authorization and provides notice to
the client after each transfer
• The client retains the ability to revoke or amend the authorization at any time
• PWS does not have the ability to change the designated recipient or related
instructions
• PWS maintains records confirming that the recipient is not a related party of
PWS or located at the same address as the investment adviser
• The qualified custodian provides an initial notice and periodic reconfirmation of
the standing instructions to the client
Qualified Custodian and Account Statements
All client funds and securities are maintained at qualified custodians in accounts
established under the client’s name. Clients or their authorized representatives direct
the opening of accounts and receive statements directly from the qualified custodian.
Clients with questions regarding their account statements should contact the qualified
custodian or PWS.
25
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
PWS accepts discretionary authority to manage client investment accounts. When
acting on a discretionary basis, PWS determines the securities to be purchased or sold,
the amount of securities to be bought or sold, and the timing of such transactions,
consistent with the client’s investment objectives and the terms of the advisory
agreement.
Prior to accepting discretionary authority, PWS discusses with each client the
parameters of portfolio management, including target asset allocation, rebalancing
practices, and any client-specific considerations. Clients may impose reasonable
restrictions on the management of their accounts, such as prohibiting certain securities
or investment types, and PWS will honor such restrictions when agreed upon in writing.
Clients are required to execute an advisory agreement and provide appropriate trading
authorization before PWS exercises discretionary authority. PWS does not take physical
custody of client assets.
In limited circumstances, PWS may provide non-discretionary investment advice, in
which case the client retains responsibility for approving and implementing investment
decisions.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
PWS does not vote proxies on behalf of clients and does not provide ongoing proxy
voting services. Proxy materials are sent directly to clients by the custodian or issuer.
Clients may contact PWS with questions regarding proxy matters, but clients retain full
responsibility for voting proxies and responding to proxy solicitations.
Item 18 – Financial Information
A. Balance Sheet
PWS does not require or solicit prepayment of advisory fees of more than $1,200 per
client, six months or more in advance. Accordingly, PWS is not required to include a
balance sheet in this Disclosure Brochure.
26
B. Financial Condition
PWS is not aware of any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability
to meet contractual commitments to clients.
C. Bankruptcy
PWS has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time.
