Item 4 Advisory Business
owned by David
Description of Firm
Pine Harbor Wealth Management is a registered investment adviser based in Fairfax, Virginia. We are
organized as a limited liability company ("LLC") under the laws of Virginia. We are
Quinn.
The following paragraphs describe our services and fees. Refer to the description of each investment
advisory service listed below for information on how we tailor our advisory services to your individual
needs. As used in this brochure, the words "we," "our," and "us" refer to Pine Harbor Wealth
Management and the words "you," "your," and "client" refer to you as either a client or prospective
client of our firm.
Portfolio Management Services
We offer discretionary portfolio management services. Our investment advice is tailored to meet our
clients' needs and investment objectives through in-depth meetings to determine your financial needs
and long-term objectives. Financial planning is provided to all clients that participate in our Portfolio
Management Services.
If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant our firm
discretionary authority to manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow us to determine
the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold for your account without
your approval prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority is typically granted by the investment
advisory agreement you sign with our firm and the appropriate trading authorization forms.
You may limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities that can be
purchased or sold for your account) by providing our firm with your restrictions and guidelines in
writing.
All clients that participate in our Portfolio Management Services program receive financial planning at
no additional fee.
Financial Planning Services
We offer financial planning services, which typically involve providing a variety of advisory services to
clients regarding the management of their financial resources based upon an analysis of their
individual needs. These services can range from broad-based financial planning to consultative or
single subject planning. If you retain our firm for financial planning services, we will meet with you to
gather information about your financial circumstances and objectives. We may also use financial
planning software to determine your current financial position and to define and quantify your long-term
goals and objectives. Once we specify those long-term objectives (both financial and non-financial), we
will develop shorter-term, targeted objectives. Once we review and analyze the information you provide
to our firm and the data derived from our financial planning software, we will deliver a written plan to
you, designed to help you achieve your stated financial goals and objectives.
Financial plans are based on your financial situation at the time we present the plan to you, and on the
financial information you provide to us. You must promptly notify our firm if your financial situation,
goals, objectives, or needs change.
You are under no obligation to act on our financial planning recommendations. Should you choose to
act on any of our recommendations, you are not obligated to implement the financial plan through any
of our other investment advisory services. Moreover, you may act on our recommendations by placing
securities transactions with any brokerage firm.
4
Financial planning services may be offered to clients that do not participate in our Portfolio
Management Services program for a fixed fee, hourly fee, or a monthly retainer, depending on your
needs. Fixed fees and hourly arrangements end at delivery of the financial plan, whereas monthly
retainer clients will receive ongoing financial planning services.
Wrap Fee Programs
We do not participate in any wrap fee program.
IRA Rollover Recommendations
For purposes of complying with the DOL's Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 ("PTE 2020-02")
where applicable, we are providing the following acknowledgment to you. When we provide
investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we
are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the
Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we
make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that
requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule's
provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
Types of Investments
We primarily offer advice on Stocks, Bonds, ETFs, and Mutual Funds. Refer to the Methods of
Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss below for additional disclosures on this topic.
Additionally, we may advise you on various types of investments based on your stated goals and
objectives. We may also provide advice on any type of investment held in your portfolio at the inception
of our advisory relationship.
Since our investment strategies and advice are based on each client's specific financial situation, the
investment advice we provide to you may be different or conflicting with the advice we give to other
clients regarding the same security or investment.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, we provide continuous management services for $507,085,498 in client
assets on a discretionary basis.
Item 5 Fees and Compensation

negotiable, depending on individual client circumstances.
At our discretion, we may combine the account values of family members living in the same household
to determine the applicable advisory fee. For example, we may combine account values for you and
your minor children, joint accounts with your spouse, and other types of related accounts. Combining
account values may increase the asset total, which may result in your paying a reduced advisory fee
based on the available breakpoints in our fee schedule stated above.
The qualified custodian holding your funds and securities will deduct our fee directly from your account.
Advisory fee will only be deducted from your account when the following requirements are met:
• You provide our firm with written authorization permitting the fees to be paid directly from your
account held by the qualified custodian; and
• The qualified custodian agrees to send you a statement, at least quarterly, indicating all
amounts disbursed from your account including the amount of the advisory fee paid directly to
our firm.

You may terminate the portfolio management agreement upon written notice. You will incur a pro rata
charge for services rendered prior to the termination of the portfolio management agreement, which
means you will incur advisory fees only in proportion to the number of days in the month for which you
are a client. If you have pre-paid advisory fees that we have not yet earned, you will receive a prorated
refund of those fees.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning services are provided to our portfolio management clients at no additional cost. You

and $800.
All fees are agreed upon in
For clients that do not participate in our portfolio management services, we offer financial planning only
at either a fixed fee, hourly fee, or a monthly retainer fee depending on your needs. Fixed fees are
based on the complexity of your financial situation and the scope of the financial plan needed, and they
can range between $1,000 and $10,000. For hourly financial planning, we will charge $395 an hour.
Prior to entering into the agreement we will estimate the number of hours needed for the project and
upon completion of the project and delivery of the financial plan will invoice you for the hours used.
Fixed fees and hourly arrangements end at delivery of the financial plan.
For clients that prefer an
ongoing relationship without portfolio management services, we offer a monthly retainer option based
on the expected number of hours dedicated to your financial planning services on a monthly basis.
Monthly retainer fees will vary and are typically between $300
advance and will be stated in your financial planning agreement.
Fees are negotiable depending upon
the complexity and scope of the plan, your financial situation, and your objectives. Our monthly retainer
fees will be payable in advance of services rendered.
Monthly retainer fees will be billed on a monthly or quarterly basis with the total fee divided into
quarterly or monthly installments as agreed upon and stated in the financial planning agreement.
Clients using the hourly billing option and fixed fee option will receive a final one-time bill upon
completion of the project.
You may, however, request the return of any prepaid
We will not require prepayment of financial planning fees more than six months in advance and in
excess of $1,200. Should the financial planning engagement last longer than six months between
acceptance of the financial planning agreement and delivery of the financial plan, we will endeavor to
provide continual services and updates.

to our firm.
You may terminate the financial planning agreement upon written notice
If you have pre-
paid financial planning fees that we have not yet earned, you will receive a prorated refund of those
fees. If financial planning fees are payable in arrears, you will be responsible for a prorated fee based
on services performed prior to termination of the financial planning agreement.
Additional Fees and Expenses
As part of our investment advisory services to you, we may invest, or recommend that you invest, in
mutual funds and exchange traded funds. The fees that you pay to our firm for investment advisory
services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds or exchange
traded funds (described in each fund's prospectus) to their shareholders. These fees will generally
include a management fee and other fund expenses. You will also incur transaction charges and/or
brokerage fees when purchasing or selling securities. These charges and fees are typically imposed by
the broker-dealer or custodian through whom your account transactions are executed. We do not
share in any portion of the brokerage fees/transaction charges imposed by the broker-dealer or
7
custodian. To fully understand the total cost you will incur, you should review all the fees charged by
mutual funds, exchange traded funds, our firm, and others. For information on our brokerage practices,
refer to the Brokerage Practices section of this brochure.
Item 6 Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
We do not accept performance-based fees or participate in side-by-side management. Our fees are
calculated as described in the Fees and Compensation section above, and are not charged on the
basis of a share of capital gains upon, or capital appreciation of, the funds in your advisory account.
Item 7 Types of Clients
We offer investment advisory services to individuals, including high net worth individuals,
corporations and other businesses.
In general, we do not require a minimum dollar amount to open and maintain an advisory account;
however, we have the right to terminate your Account if it falls below a minimum size which, in our sole
opinion, is too small to manage effectively.
We may also combine account values for you and your minor children, joint accounts with your
spouse, and other types of related accounts to meet the stated minimum.
Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Our Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
We may use one or more of the following methods of analysis or investment strategies when providing
investment advice to you:
Fundamental Analysis - involves analyzing individual companies and their industry groups, such as a
company's financial statements, details regarding the company's product line, the experience and
expertise of the company's management, and the outlook for the company and its industry. The
resulting data is used to measure the true value of the company's stock compared to the current
market value.
Risk: The risk of fundamental analysis is that information obtained may be incorrect and the
analysis may not provide an accurate estimate of earnings, which may be the basis for a stock's
value. If securities prices adjust rapidly to new information, utilizing fundamental analysis may not
result in favorable performance.
Modern Portfolio Theory - a theory of investment which attempts to maximize portfolio expected
return for a given amount of portfolio risk, or equivalently minimize risk for a given level of expected
return, by carefully diversifying the proportions of various assets.
Risk: Market risk is that part of a security's risk that is common to all securities of the same
general class (stocks and bonds) and thus cannot be eliminated by diversification.
Long-Term Purchases - securities purchased with the expectation that the value of those securities
will grow over a relatively long period of time, generally greater than one year.
8
Risk: Using a long-term purchase strategy generally assumes the financial markets will go up in
the long term, which may not be the case. There is also the risk that the segment of the market
that you are invested in or perhaps just your particular investment will go down over time, even if
the overall financial markets advance. Purchasing investments long-term may create an
opportunity cost--"locking-up" assets that may be better used in the short term in other
investments.
Margin Transactions - a securities transaction in which an investor borrows money to purchase a
security, in which case the security serves as collateral on the loan.
Risk: If the value of the shares drops sufficiently, the investor will be required to either deposit
more cash into the account or sell a portion of the stock in order to maintain the margin
requirements of the account. This is known as a "margin call." An investor's overall risk includes
the amount of money invested plus the amount that was loaned to them.
ESG Investing: ESG Investing maintains a focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance issues.
ESG investing may be referred to in many different ways, such as sustainable investing, socially
responsible investing, and impact investing. ESG practices can include, but are not limited to,
strategies that select companies based on their stated commitment to one or more ESG factors; for
example, companies with policies aimed at minimizing their negative impact on the environment, social
issues, or companies that focus on governance principles and transparency. ESG practices may also
entail screening out companies in certain sectors or that, in the view of the investor, demonstrate poor
management of ESG risks and opportunities or are involved in issues that are contrary to the investor's
own principles.
Risk: "ESG Investing" is not defined in federal securities laws, may be subjective, and may be
defined in different ways by different managers, advisers or investors. There is no SEC "rating" or
"score" of ESG investments that could be applied across a broad range of companies, and while
many different private ratings based on different ESG factors exist, they often differ significantly
from each other. Different managers may weigh environmental, social, and governance factors
differently. Some ESG managers may consider data from third-party providers which could include
"scoring" and "rating" data compiled to help managers compare companies. Some of the data
used to compile third-party ESG scores and ratings may be subjective. Other data may be
objective in principle, but are not verified or reliable. Third-party scores also may consider or
weight ESG criteria differently, meaning that companies can receive widely different scores from
different third-party providers. A portfolio manager's ESG practices may significantly influence
performance. Because securities may be included or excluded based on ESG factors rather than
traditional fundamental analysis or other investment methodologies, the account's performance
may differ (either higher or lower) from the overall market or comparable accounts that do not
employ similar ESG practices. Some mutual funds or ETFs that consider ESG may have different
expense ratios than other funds that do not consider ESG factors. Paying more in expenses will
reduce the value of your investment over time.
Cash Management
In managing the cash maintained in your account, we utilize the sole exclusive cash vehicle (money
market) made available by the custodian. There may be other cash management options away from
the custodian available to you with higher yields or safer underlying investments.
9
Tax Considerations
Our strategies and investments may have unique and significant tax implications. However, unless we
specifically agree otherwise, and in writing, tax efficiency is not our primary consideration in the
management of your assets. Regardless of your account size or any other factors, we strongly
recommend that you consult with a tax professional regarding the investing of your assets.
Custodians and broker-dealers must report the cost basis of equities acquired in client accounts. Your
custodian will default to the First-In First-Out ("FIFO") accounting method for calculating the cost basis
of your investments. You are responsible for contacting your tax advisor to determine if this accounting
method is the right choice for you. If your tax advisor believes another accounting method is more
advantageous, provide written notice to our firm immediately and we will alert your account custodian
of your individually selected accounting method. Decisions about cost basis accounting methods will
need to be made before trades settle, as the cost basis method cannot be changed after settlement.
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that you should be prepared to bear. We do not represent or
guarantee that our services or methods of analysis can or will predict future results, successfully
identify market tops or bottoms, or insulate clients from losses due to market corrections or declines.
We cannot offer any guarantees or promises that your financial goals and objectives will be met. Past
performance is in no way an indication of future performance.
Other Risk Considerations
When evaluating risk, financial loss may be viewed differently by each client and may depend on many
different risks, each of which may affect the probability and magnitude of any potential losses. The
following risks may not be all-inclusive, but should be considered carefully by a prospective client
before retaining our services.
Liquidity Risk: The risk of being unable to sell your investment at a fair price at a given time due to
high volatility or lack of active liquid markets. You may receive a lower price or it may not be possible
to sell the investment at all.
Credit Risk: Credit risk typically applies to debt investments such as corporate, municipal, and
sovereign fixed income or bonds. A bond issuing entity can experience a credit event that could impair
or erase the value of an issuer's securities held by a client.
Inflation and Interest Rate Risk: Security prices and portfolio returns will likely vary in response to
changes in inflation and interest rates. Inflation causes the value of future dollars to be worth less and
may reduce the purchasing power of a client's future interest payments and principal. Inflation also
generally leads to higher interest rates which may cause the value of many types of fixed income
investments to decline.
Horizon and Longevity Risk: The risk that your investment horizon is shortened because of an
unforeseen event, for example, the loss of your job. This may force you to sell investments that you
were expecting to hold for the long term. If you must sell at a time that the markets are down, you may
lose money. Longevity Risk is the risk of outliving your savings. This risk is particularly relevant for
people who are retired, or are nearing retirement.
Recommendation of Particular Types of Securities
We primarily recommend ETFs, Bonds, and Mutual Funds. However, we may advise on other types of
investments as appropriate for you since each client has different needs and different tolerance for
risk. Each type of security has its own unique set of risks associated with it and it would not be possible
10
to list here all of the specific risks of every type of investment. Even within the same type of
investment, risks can vary widely. However, in very general terms, the higher the anticipated return of
an investment, the higher the risk of loss associated with the investment.
Bonds: Corporate debt securities (or "bonds") are typically safer investments than equity securities,
but their risk can also vary widely based on: the financial health of the issuer; the risk that the issuer
might default; when the bond is set to mature; and, whether or not the bond can be "called" prior to
maturity. When a bond is called, it may not be possible to replace it with a bond of equal character
paying the same rate of return.
Stocks: There are numerous ways of measuring the risk of equity securities (also known simply as
"equities" or "stock"). In very broad terms, the value of a stock depends on the financial health of the
company issuing it. However, stock prices can be affected by many other factors including, but not
limited to the class of stock (for example, preferred or common); the health of the market sector of the
issuing company; and the overall health of the economy. In general, larger, better established
companies ("large cap") tend to be safer than smaller start-up companies ("small cap") are but the
mere size of an issuer is not, by itself, an indicator of the safety of the investment.
Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds: Mutual funds and exchange traded funds ("ETF") are
professionally managed collective investment systems that pool money from many investors and invest
in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, other mutual funds, other securities, or any
combination thereof. The fund will have a manager that trades the fund's investments in accordance
with the fund's investment objective. While mutual funds and ETFs generally provide diversification,
risks can be significantly increased if the fund is concentrated in a particular sector of the market,
primarily invests in small cap or speculative companies, uses leverage (i.e., borrows money) to a
significant degree, or concentrates in a particular type of security (i.e., equities) rather than balancing
the fund with different types of securities. ETFs differ from mutual funds since they can be bought and
sold throughout the day like stock and their price can fluctuate throughout the day. The returns on
mutual funds and ETFs can be reduced by the costs to manage the funds. Also, while some mutual
funds are "no load" and charge no fee to buy into, or sell out of, the fund, other types of mutual funds
do charge such fees which can also reduce returns. Mutual funds can also be "closed end" or "open
end". So-called "open end" mutual funds continue to allow in new investors indefinitely whereas
"closed end" funds have a fixed number of shares to sell which can limit their availability to new
investors.
ETFs may have tracking error risks. For example, the ETF investment adviser may not be able to
cause the ETF's performance to match that of its Underlying Index or other benchmark, which may
negatively affect the ETF's performance. In addition, for leveraged and inverse ETFs that seek to track
the performance of their Underlying Indices or benchmarks on a daily basis, mathematical
compounding may prevent the ETF from correlating with performance of its benchmark. In addition, an
ETF may not have investment exposure to all of the securities included in its Underlying Index, or its
weighting of investment exposure to such securities may vary from that of the Underlying Index. Some
ETFs may invest in securities or financial instruments that are not included in the Underlying Index, but
which are expected to yield similar performance.
Item 9 Disciplinary Information
We are required to disclose the facts of any legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client's
evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our management. We do not have any required
disclosures under this item.
11
Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
We have not provided information on other financial industry activities and affiliations because we do
not have any relationship or arrangement that is material to our advisory business or to our clients with
any of the types of entities listed below.
1. broker-dealer, municipal securities dealer, or government securities dealer or broker;
2. investment company or other pooled investment vehicle (including a mutual fund, closed-end
investment company, unit investment trust, private investment company or "hedge fund," and
offshore fund);
3. other investment adviser or financial planner;
4. futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading adviser;
5. banking or thrift institution;
6. accountant or accounting firm;
7. lawyer or law firm;
8. insurance company or agency;
9. pension consultant;
10.real estate broker or dealer; and/or
11.sponsor or syndicator of limited partnerships.
Item 11 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
Description of Our Code of Ethics
We strive to comply with applicable laws and regulations governing our practices and adhere to
professional standards of conduct for persons associated with our firm. Our goal is to protect your
interests at all times and to demonstrate our commitment to our fiduciary duties of honesty, good faith,
and fair dealing with you. All persons associated with our firm are expected to adhere strictly to these
guidelines. Additionally, we maintain and enforce written policies reasonably designed to prevent the
misuse or dissemination of material, non-public information about you or your account holdings by
persons associated with our firm.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
Neither our firm nor any persons associated with our firm has any material financial interest in client
transactions beyond the provision of investment advisory services as disclosed in this brochure.
Personal Trading Practices
Our firm or persons associated may invest in the same securities that we recommend to you. We also
recommend securities to you or buy or sell securities for your account at or about the same time that
our firm or an associated persons buys or sells the same securities of their account. A conflict of
interest exists in such cases because we have the ability to trade ahead of you and potentially receive
more favorable prices than you will receive. To mitigate this conflict of interest, it is our policy that
neither our firm nor persons associated with our firm shall have priority over your account in the
purchase or sale of securities. If we place a block or aggregated trade, associated persons of our firm
may be included in the trade. This means we will receive the same average price that you receive.
12
Item 12 Brokerage Practices
Recommendation of Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions
Pine Harbor recommends that clients utilize the custody, brokerage and clearing services of Charles
Schwab & Co, Inc. through its Schwab Advisor Services division ("Schwab") and Fidelity Investments
("Fidelity") for investment management accounts. The final decision to custody assets with Schwab or
Fidelity is at the discretion of the client, including those accounts under ERISA or IRA rules and
regulations, in which case the client is acting as either the plan sponsor or IRA account holder. Pine
Harbor is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with either Schwab or Fidelity. Schwab
and Fidelity provide Pine Harbor with access to its institutional trading and custody services, which are
typically not available to retail investors.
Factors which Pine Harbor considers in recommending Schwab, Fidelity or any other broker-dealer to
clients include their respective financial strength, reputation, execution, pricing, research and service.
Schwab and Fidelity enable the Firm to obtain many mutual funds without transaction charges and
other securities at nominal transaction charges. The commissions and/or transaction fees charged by
Schwab or Fidelity may be higher or lower than those charged by other Financial Institutions.
The commissions paid by Pine Harbor's clients to Schwab or Fidelity comply with the Firm's duty to
obtain "best execution." Clients may pay commissions that are higher than another qualified Financial
Institution might charge to effect the same transaction where Pine Harbor determines that the
commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services received.
In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether the
transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a
Financial Institution's services, including among others, the value of research provided, execution
capability, commission rates and responsiveness. Pine Harbor seeks competitive rates but may not
necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for client transactions.
Consistent with obtaining best execution, brokerage transactions are directed to certain broker-dealers
in return for investment research products and/or services which assist Pine Harbor in its investment
decision-making process. Such research will be used to service all of the Firm's clients, but brokerage
commissions paid by one client may be used to pay for research that is not used in managing that
client's portfolio. The receipt of investment research products and/or services as well as the allocation
of the benefit of such investment research products and/or services poses a conflict of interest
because Pine Harbor does not have to produce or pay for the products or services.
How we select brokers/custodians
When considering the services that a custodian provides, we take into account a wide range of factors,
including:
• Combination of transaction execution services and asset custody services (generally without a
separate fee for custody)
• Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for your account)
• Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers, check
requests, bill payment, etc.)
• Breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds
[ETFs], etc.)
• Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment decisions
• Quality of services
• Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, margin interest rates, other
fees, etc.) and willingness to negotiate the prices
13
• Reputation, financial strength, security and stability
• Prior service to us and our clients
• Availability of other products and services that benefit us, as discussed below
Pine Harbor periodically and systematically reviews its policies and procedures regarding its
recommendation of Financial Institutions in light of its duty to obtain best execution.
Software and Support Provided by Financial Institutions
Pine Harbor receives without cost from Schwab and Fidelity administrative support, computer software,
related systems support, as well as other third-party support as further described below (together
"Support") which allow Pine Harbor to better monitor client accounts maintained at Schwab and Fidelity
and otherwise conduct its business. Pine Harbor receives the Support without cost because the Firm
renders investment management services to clients that maintain assets at Schwab and Fidelity. The
Support is not provided in connection with securities transactions of clients (i.e., not "soft dollars"). The
Support benefits Pine Harbor, but not its clients directly. Clients should be aware that Pine Harbor's
receipt of economic benefits such as the Support from a broker-dealer creates a conflict of interest
since these benefits will influence the Firm's choice of broker-dealer over another that does not furnish
similar software, systems support or services, especially because the support is contingent upon
clients placing a certain level(s) of assets at Schwab or Fidelity. In fulfilling its duties to its clients, Pine
Harbor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first and has determined that the
recommendation of Schwab or Fidelity is in the best interest of clients and satisfies the Firm's duty to
seek best execution.
Specifically, Pine Harbor receives the following benefits from Schwab and Fidelity: i) receipt of
duplicate client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; ii) access to a trading desk that
exclusively services its institutional traders; iii) access to block trading which provides the ability to
aggregate securities transactions and then allocate the appropriate shares to client accounts; and iv)
access to an electronic communication network for client order entry and account information.
For client accounts maintained in its custody, Schwab and Fidelity generally do not charge separately
for custody services but is compensated by account holders through commissions or other transaction-
related or asset based fees for securities trades that are executed through Schwab and Fidelity or that
settle into Schwab and Fidelity accounts.
Schwab and Fidelity also make available to the Firm other products and services that benefit the Firm
but may not benefit its clients' accounts. These benefits may include national, regional or Firm specific
educational events organized and/or sponsored by Schwab or Fidelity. Other potential benefits may
include occasional business entertainment of personnel of Pine Harbor by Schwab or Fidelity
personnel, including meals, invitations to sporting events, including golf tournaments, and other forms
of entertainment, some of which may accompany educational opportunities. Other of these products
and services assist Pine Harbor in managing and administering clients' accounts. These include
software and other technology (and related technological training) that provide access to client account
data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution (and allocation of
aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts), provide research, pricing information and other
market data, facilitate payment of the Firm\'s fees from its clients' accounts, and assist with back-office
training and support functions, recordkeeping and client reporting. Many of these services generally
may be used to service all or some substantial number of the Firm's accounts, including accounts not
maintained at Schwab or Fidelity. Schwab and Fidelity also make available to Pine Harbor other
services intended to help the Firm manage and further develop its business enterprise. These services
may include professional compliance, legal and business consulting, publications and conferences on
practice management, information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance, employee
benefits providers, human capital consultants, insurance and marketing. In addition, Schwab and
14
Fidelity may make available, arrange and/or pay vendors for these types of services rendered to the
Firm by independent third parties. Schwab and Fidelity may discount or waive fees it would otherwise
charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third party providing these
services to the Firm. While as a fiduciary Pine Harbor endeavors to act in its clients' best interests, the
Firm's recommendation that clients maintain their assets in accounts at Schwab or Fidelity may be
based in part on the benefits received and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and
brokerage services provided by Schwab or Fidelity, which creates a potential conflict of interest.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
We do not receive client referrals from custodians or broker-dealers in exchange for cash or other
compensation, such as brokerage services or research.
Directed Brokerage
We routinely require that you direct our firm to execute transactions through either Schwab or Fidelity.
As such, we may be unable to achieve the most favorable execution of your transactions and you may
pay higher brokerage commissions than you might otherwise pay through another broker-dealer that
offers the same types of services. Not all advisers require their clients to direct brokerage.
Aggregated Trades
We have the ability to combine multiple orders for shares of the same securities purchased for
discretionary advisory accounts we manage (this practice is commonly referred to as "aggregated or
block trading") with either of our chosen custodians. We will then distribute a portion of the shares to
participating accounts in a fair and equitable manner. Generally, participating accounts will pay a fixed
transaction cost regardless of the number of shares transacted. In certain cases, each participating
account pays an average price per share for all transactions and pays a proportionate share of all
transaction costs on any given day. In the event an order is only partially filled, the shares will be
allocated to participating accounts in a fair and equitable manner, typically in proportion to the size of
each client's order. Accounts owned by our firm or persons associated with our firm may participate in
aggregated trading with your accounts; however, they will not be given preferential treatment.
Aggregating orders is used when appropriate but we are not always able to aggregate an order due to
the customization we provide our client accounts based on the individual client's risk tolerance and
investment objectives.
We do not aggregate trades for non-discretionary accounts. Accordingly, non-discretionary accounts
may pay different costs than discretionary accounts pay. If you enter into non-discretionary
arrangements with our firm, we may not be able to buy and sell the same quantities of securities for
you and you may pay higher commissions, fees, and/or transaction costs than clients who enter into
discretionary arrangements with our firm.
Mutual Fund Share Classes
Mutual funds are sold with different share classes, which carry different cost structures. Each available
share class is described in the mutual fund's prospectus. When we purchase, or recommend the
purchase of, mutual funds for a client, we select the share class that is deemed to be in the client's
best interest, taking into consideration cost, tax implications, and other factors. Typically we purchase
"no load" mutual funds for our clients which have lower internal costs than many other share classes.
Internal fees (costs) impact your rate of return. Higher internal fees have a negative effect on your
investment's rate of return over time. When the fund is available for purchase at net asset value, we
will purchase, or recommend the purchase of, the fund at net asset value. We also review the mutual
funds held in accounts that come under our management to determine whether a more beneficial
share class is available, considering cost, tax implications, and the impact of contingent deferred sales
charges. Please see Item 5 Fees and Compensation, Additional Fees and Expenses for additional
details.

Item 13 Review of Accounts
Your advisor will monitor your accounts on an ongoing basis and will conduct account reviews at least
annually, to ensure the advisory services provided to you are consistent with your investment needs
and objectives. These account reviews are typically done internally only and are not in
writing. Additional reviews may be conducted based on various circumstances, including, but not
limited to:
• contributions and withdrawals;
• year-end tax planning;
• market moving events;
• security specific events; and/or
• changes in your risk/return objectives.
We will make every effort to meet with you at least annually either virtually, by telephone or in person
to review your accounts and financial situation. We hope you will make every effort to schedule this
important time to review your financial situation and answer any questions you may have.
We will provide regular written performance reports for the investment accounts that we manage on
your behalf. You will receive trade confirmations and monthly or quarterly statements from your
account custodian.
Your advisor will review your financial plans as needed. These reviews are provided as part of the
contracted services. We do not assess additional fees for financial plan reviews. Generally, we will
contact you periodically to determine whether any updates may be needed based on changes in your
circumstances. Changed circumstances may include, but are not limited to marriage, divorce, birth,
death, inheritance, lawsuit, retirement, job loss and/or disability, among others. We recommend
meeting with you at least annually to review and update your plan if needed. Additional reviews will be
conducted upon your request. Written updates to the financial plan may be provided in conjunction with
the review. If you implement portfolio management advice, you will receive trade confirmations and
monthly or quarterly statements from relevant custodians.
Please note that for clients who receive financial planning services utilizing the fixed fees and hourly
arrangements, the service ends at delivery of the financial plan.
Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation
We do not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with providing investment
advice to you nor do we compensate any individual or firm for client referrals.
Brokerage Practices
section above for disclosures on research and other benefits we may
Refer to the
receive resulting from our relationship with your account custodian.
Item 15 Custody
Your independent custodian will directly debit your account(s) for the payment of our advisory fees.
This ability to deduct our advisory fees from your accounts causes our firm to exercise limited custody
over your funds or securities. We do not have physical custody of any of your funds and/or securities.
Your funds and securities will be held with a bank, broker-dealer, or other qualified custodian. You will
16
receive account statements from the qualified custodian holding your funds and securities at least
quarterly. The account statements from your custodian will indicate the amount of our advisory fees
deducted from your account(s) each billing period. You should carefully review account statements for
accuracy.
If you have a question regarding your account statement, or if you did not receive a statement from
your custodian, contact us immediately at the telephone number on the cover page of this brochure.
The ability to deduct advisory fees from your account(s) at Schwab or Fidelity does not require us to
obtain a surprise annual audit if these requirements are met.
Standing Letters of Authorization (SLOAs)
Our firm, or persons associated with our firm, may effect wire transfers from client accounts to one or
more third parties designated, in writing, by the client without obtaining written client consent for each
separate, individual transaction as long as the client has provided us with written authorization to do
so. Such written authorization is known as a Standing Letter of Authorization or SLOA. An adviser with
authority to conduct such third-party wire transfers has access to the client's assets, and therefore has
custody of the client's assets in any related accounts per SEC regulations.
However, we are not required to obtain a surprise annual audit, as is typically required for advisers with
custody, as long as we meet the following criteria:
1. You provide a written, signed instruction to the qualified custodian that includes the third party's
name and address or account number at a custodian;
2. You authorize us in writing to direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or
from time to time;
3. Your qualified custodian verifies your authorization (e.g., signature review) and provides a
transfer of funds notice to you promptly after each transfer;
4. You can terminate or change the instruction;
5. We have no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third party, the
address, or any other information about the third party;
6. We maintain records showing that the third party is not a related party to us nor located at the
same address as us; and
7. Your qualified custodian sends you, in writing, an initial notice confirming the instruction and an
annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
We hereby confirm that we meet the above criteria.
Item 16 Investment Discretion
Before we can buy or sell securities on your behalf, you must first sign our discretionary management
agreement and the appropriate trading authorization forms.
You may grant our firm discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be purchased or sold
for your advisory accounts without obtaining your consent or approval prior to each transaction. You
may specify investment objectives, guidelines, and/or impose certain conditions or investment
parameters for your accounts. For example, you may specify that the investment in any particular stock
or industry should not exceed specified percentages of the value of the portfolio and/or restrictions or
prohibitions of transactions in the securities of a specific industry or security. Refer to the Advisory
Business section in this brochure for more information on our discretionary management services.
17
Item 17 Voting Client Securities
We will not vote proxies on behalf of your advisory accounts. At your request, we may offer you advice
regarding corporate actions and the exercise of your proxy voting rights. If you own shares of
applicable securities, you are responsible for exercising your right to vote as a shareholder.
In most cases, you will receive proxy materials directly from the account custodian. However, in the
event we were to receive any written or electronic proxy materials, we would forward them directly to
you by mail, unless you have authorized our firm to contact you by electronic mail, in which case, we
would forward any electronic solicitations to vote proxies.
Item 18 Financial Information
Our firm does not have any financial condition or impairment that would prevent us from meeting our
contractual commitments to you. We do not take physical custody of client funds or securities, or serve
as trustee or signatory for client accounts, and we do not require the prepayment of more than $1,200
in fees six or more months in advance. Therefore, we are not required to include a financial statement
with this brochure.
We have not filed a bankruptcy petition at any time in the past ten years.
Item 19 Additional Information
Trade Errors
In the event a trading error occurs in your account, our policy is to restore your account to the position
it should have been in had the trading error not occurred. Depending on the circumstances, corrective
actions may include canceling the trade, adjusting an allocation, and/or reimbursing the account.
Class Action Lawsuits
We do not determine if securities held by you are the subject of a class action lawsuit or whether you
are eligible to participate in class action settlements or litigation nor do we initiate or participate in
litigation to recover damages on your behalf for injuries as a result of actions, misconduct, or
negligence by issuers of securities held by you.
IRA Rollover Considerations
As part of our investment advisory services to you, we may recommend that you withdraw the assets
from your employer's retirement plan and roll the assets over to an individual retirement account
("IRA") that we will manage on your behalf. If you elect to roll the assets to an IRA that is subject to our
management, we will charge you an asset based fee as set forth in the agreement you executed with
our firm. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice on
our behalf have an incentive to recommend a rollover to you for the purpose of generating fee based
compensation rather than solely based on your needs. You are under no obligation, contractually or
otherwise, to complete the rollover. Moreover, if you do complete the rollover, you are under no
obligation to have the assets in an IRA managed by our firm.
Many employers permit former employees to keep their retirement assets in their company plan. Also,
current employees can sometimes move assets out of their company plan before they retire or change
jobs. In determining whether to complete the rollover to an IRA, and to the extent the following options
are available, you should consider the costs and benefits of:
1. Leaving the funds in your employer's (former employer's) plan.
18
2. Moving the funds to a new employer's retirement plan.
3. Cashing out and taking a taxable distribution from the plan.
4. Rolling the funds into an IRA rollover account.
Each of these options has advantages and disadvantages and before making a change we encourage
you to speak with your CPA and/or tax attorney.
If you are considering rolling over your retirement funds to an IRA for us to manage here are a few
points to consider before you do so:
1. Determine whether the investment options in your employer's retirement plan address your
needs or whether you might want to consider other types of investments.
a. Employer retirement plans generally have a more limited investment menu than IRAs.
b. Employer retirement plans may have unique investment options not available to the
public such as employer securities, or previously closed funds.
2. Your current plan may have lower fees than our fees.
a. If you are interested in investing only in mutual funds, you should understand the cost
structure of the share classes available in your employer's retirement plan and how the
costs of those share classes compare with those available in an IRA.
b. You should understand the various products and services you might take advantage of
at an IRA provider and the potential costs of those products and services.
3. Our strategy may have higher risk than the option(s) provided to you in your plan.
4. Your current plan may also offer financial advice.
5. If you keep your assets titled in a 401k or retirement account, you could potentially delay your
required minimum distribution beyond your RMD beginning age. Your RMD beginning age is 73
or 75, depending on your date of birth.
6. Your 401k may offer more liability protection than a rollover IRA; each state may vary.
a. Generally, federal law protects assets in qualified plans from creditors. Since 2005, IRA
assets have been generally protected from creditors in bankruptcies. However, there
can be some exceptions to the general rules so you should consult with an attorney if
you are concerned about protecting your retirement plan assets from creditors.
7. You may be able to take out a loan on your 401k, but not from an IRA.
8. IRA assets can be accessed any time; however, distributions are subject to ordinary income tax
and may also be subject to a 10% early distribution penalty unless they qualify for an exception
such as disability, higher education expenses or the purchase of a home.
9. If you own company stock in your plan, you may be able to liquidate those shares
at a lower
capital gains tax rate.
10.Your plan may allow you to hire us as the manager and keep the assets titled in the plan name.
It is important that you understand the differences between these types of accounts in deciding
whether a rollover is best for you. Prior to proceeding, if you have questions, contact your investment
adviser representative, or call our main number as listed on the cover page of this brochure.
