Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 4 of 36
The Capital Directions Program
The Program is a unified investment advisory platform that provides clients an integrated set of diversified
portfolios through a single brokerage account. We will help you formulate an investment strategy, which will be
implemented through use of investment manager models, mutual funds and/or exchange traded funds
(collectively “Funds”) that are a part of the Program. PNC Wealth Management, as the investment adviser to the
program, will exercise its discretion to invest your Account in all or a combination of equities, fixed‐income
securities, Funds, and other securities and investment products made available through the Program now or in
the future. Additional model investment strategies provided by professional investment managers are also
available in a variety of investment types and styles.
PNC Wealth Management uses asset allocation models, each associated with a distinct risk profile and
comprised of a unique mix of investment assets that leverage guidance from PNC Bank’s Private Bank (the
“Private Bank”), as well as other external Research Partners, and approved by PNCWM’s Investment Due
Diligence Committee (IDD). Furthermore, PNC Wealth Management may also conduct its own research,
including gaining insights from non‐affiliated third parties, to be used in making asset allocation decisions for the
Allocation Models, which from time‐to‐time may diverge from models developed by the Private Bank. In all
cases, PNCWM has sole discretion in approving Allocation Models for the program. These models are
summarized below:
Ultra-Conservative. The primary objective of this asset allocation model is the preservation of the
purchasing power of the portfolio. A secondary objective is to generate a modest amount of current
income to offset the effects of inflation.
An Ultra‐Conservative portfolio is constructed to provide stability of invested capital by allocating a
higher percentage of assets to cash and fixed income securities. A small percentage is allocated to Funds
focused primarily on large cap domestic equities to generate a modest amount of the asset’s total return
potential. The portfolio assumes reinvestment of all interest and dividend income to help maintain the
portfolio’s value. The recommended time horizon of the portfolio is one to three years.
You should be aware that over long time periods, the Ultra‐Conservative model is unlikely to grow in
value, after accounting for the effect of inflation and advisory fees. Risks include the fact that fixed
income securities may lose value in a rising interest rate environment, and are subject to credit risk if the
issuer’s ability to repay its debts should become doubtful.
Conservative. The primary objective of the Conservative model is to generate a modest amount of
current income, and secondarily to provide a modest amount of long‐term capital growth, which should
help offset some of the effects of inflation. Long‐term growth of principal will be aided by income
reinvestment.
While the goal is to maintain a low‐risk posture, investors should be willing to accept periodic declines in
portfolio value. Although past performance is no guarantee of future results, generally any such decline
should be less severe than declines in the broader equity markets. The portfolio’s allocation between
equity and fixed income securities, with the allocation to cash, exposes it to both the risk of rising
interest rates and falling equity prices. Your ability to keep your funds invested in the Program
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 5 of 36
throughout declining markets helps, but does not guarantee, the possibility of achieving the portfolio’s
long‐term investment objective.
Moderate. The objective of the Moderate model is to generate a moderate amount of current income
with the potential for longer‐term capital growth. The portfolio is split between equity and fixed income
securities, with a small allocation to cash, and is constructed to provide both long‐term capital
appreciation in excess of inflation and a moderate amount of current income. While the current income
generated could be available to meet your day‐to‐day expenses, reinvestment of income will increase
the portfolio’s ability to exceed inflation over the long‐term.
The portfolio’s allocation between equity and fixed income securities, with an allocation to cash,
exposes it to both the risk of rising interest rates and falling equity prices. Your ability to keep your funds
invested in the Program throughout declining markets helps, but does not guarantee, the possibility of
achieving the portfolio’s long‐term investment objective.
Balanced. The primary objective of the Balanced model is to provide long‐term capital growth in excess
of inflation, with a modest amount of current income as a secondary objective. The portfolio is allocated
between equities and fixed income securities, with a higher allocation to a variety of equity securities.
The portfolio also contains a small allocation to cash. While the current income generated could be
available to meet your day‐to‐day expenses, income reinvestment will increase the portfolio’s ability to
exceed inflation over the long‐term.
This portfolio maintains a somewhat aggressive risk posture, and you should be willing to accept
periodic declines in portfolio value. Because the portfolio is largely invested in equities, it can experience
fluctuations – up or down – in value over short time periods. Your ability to keep your funds invested in
the Program throughout declining markets helps, but does not guarantee, the possibility of achieving
the portfolio’s long‐term investment objective.
Growth. The primary objective of the Growth model is long‐term capital growth. It may secondarily
generate a minimal amount of current income by including some fixed income securities. The portfolio is
concentrated in equity investments in order to earn returns exceeding the rate of inflation over the
long‐term. A small allocation to fixed income securities, as well as cash, is included primarily to help
dampen volatility over the long‐ term.
This portfolio maintains an aggressive risk posture, and you should be willing to accept potentially
significant declines in portfolio value that may be similar to or exceed declines in the broader equity
markets. Because the portfolio is predominantly invested in equities, it can experience sharp
fluctuations – up or down – in value over short time periods. Your ability to keep your funds invested in
the Program throughout declining markets helps, but does not guarantee, the possibility of achieving
the portfolio’s long‐term investment objective.
Aggressive. The primary objective of the Aggressive model is long‐term capital growth. An Aggressive
portfolio is concentrated in equity investments for long‐term growth. Returns in excess of the underlying
rate of inflation are necessary to increase both principal and purchasing power.
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025

This portfolio maintains a highly aggressive risk posture, and you should be willing to accept potentially
significant declines in portfolio value, similar to or greater than declines in the broader equity markets.
The portfolio may contain a small allocation to fixed income securities as well as cash. Because the
portfolio is predominantly invested in equity securities, it can experience sharp fluctuations – up or
down – in value over short time periods. Your ability to keep your funds invested in the Program
throughout declining markets helps, but does not guarantee, the possibility of achieving the portfolio’s
long‐term investment objective.
PNC Wealth Management also makes available a series of multi‐asset income focused models that focus on both
capital appreciation and higher distribution yields. These models are designed to emphasize asset class
exposures and fund selections that seek to achieve higher levels of income. The portfolio’s allocation to fixed
income has the risk of rising interest rates and its allocations to high yield fixed income exposes it to credit risk.
The equity allocation to the portfolio has a higher concentration in value style stocks which can lag in strong
growth markets.
In addition to the asset allocation models, the Program offers two income models that have been developed by
PNC Wealth Management based on input from PNC’s Investment Policy Committee. Each income model is
associated with a distinct risk profile and comprised of a unique mix of investment assets. These income models
are summarized below:
Core Fixed Income. The primary objective of this portfolio is total return comparable to a portfolio of
investment grade domestic bonds. Capital preservation is a secondary objective. The minimum
recommended time horizon for this portfolio is three to five years.
This portfolio has a strategic allocation to U.S. investment grade bonds and tactical allocations to other
non‐investment grade securities. The portfolio’s allocation to 100% fixed income securities exposes it to
the risk of rising interest rates. Any decline experienced in this portfolio should be significantly less
severe than declines in a portfolio that has significant equity exposure.
Core-Plus Fixed Income. The primary objective of this portfolio is total return incrementally higher than
a portfolio of investment grade domestic bonds achieved through slightly more aggressive tactical
decision making. A secondary objective is capital preservation. The suggested time horizon for this
portfolio is at least three to five years.
This portfolio invests in fixed income securities with an emphasis on total return and portfolio yield. This
portfolio uses a broader range of credit quality securities which emphasizes slightly more tactical
decision making. The portfolio’s allocation to 100% fixed income exposes it to the risk of rising interest
rates and its allocations to high yield fixed income exposes it to credit risk.
The alternative models include an allocation to alternative strategy Funds (“Alternative Funds”) that are
registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”).
Alternative Funds can use one of many different strategies including, but not limited to, long/short, managed
futures, market neutral, or derivative income. PNC Wealth Management will select the Funds and allocation in
the alternative models, but you will have the ability to modify the Funds or allocation selected. When
alternative models are selected, the traditional asset classes in each model will be reduced on a pro rata basis.
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 7 of 36
Alternative Funds seek to provide additional diversification benefits beyond those of a traditional portfolio of
stocks and bonds. However, Alternative Funds are accompanied by risks that might be different from those
associated with traditional investments. When used as part of an overall solution, alternatives may help to meet
a client’s investment needs. Because Alternative Funds are regulated under the Investment Company Act, there
are several ways in which they are structured to mitigate some liquidity risk, which may occur during severe
market conditions, and differ from unregistered hedge funds and other alternative investments. You should
carefully review the prospectus for any Alternative Fund you are considering for details on liquidity and other
risks associated with them and review the manager’s ability to place limitations on liquidity. Alternative Funds
are subject to:
Limits on illiquid investments including a maximum of 15% of assets in illiquid investments;
Limits on leveraging of no more than 33% of assets;
Diversification requirements including a maximum of 25% of assets invested in one issuer; and
Daily pricing and redeemability of fund shares.
Alternative Funds are also prohibited from charging the types of management and performance based fees (e.g.,
a “2/20” fee) charged by some hedge funds.
Before you open an Account in the Capital Directions Program, you should carefully review our Client
Relationship Summary (“Form CRS”) and consider whether an advisory relationship is right for your situation and
circumstances. You may discuss any questions you have regarding our Form CRS or whether an advisory account
is right for you with your Financial Advisor. Some things you may wish to consider are: your preference for a
fee‐based versus a commission based relationship; your desire for on‐going support and advice from your
Financial Advisor; how much trading activity you expect to take place in your account; and the anticipated total
costs. You should know that your Financial Advisor benefits when you open a Capital Directions account, as
described in more detail in the Financial Advisor Compensation section of this Brochure, and has a conflict of
interest when recommending an advisory account to you.
Once you decide that the Program is right for you, your Financial Advisor will help you determine which of the
flexible asset allocation or income models (“Allocation Models”) described above is appropriate for you. Based
on your needs, circumstances, and investment goals your Financial Advisor will help you complete either an
investor questionnaire or a goals‐based retirement income analysis provided by an unaffiliated third‐party
(“Retirement Tool”).
The investor questionnaire provides us with an understanding of your financial situation, investment objectives,
risk tolerance and investment time horizon. Based on the information collected in the investor questionnaire
and other information you share with your Financial Advisor, your Financial Advisor will recommend an
Allocation Model appropriate to your situation. Your Financial Advisor will help you understand the risk and
return characteristics of the selected Allocation Model and help you evaluate the Allocation Model’s return
potential in relation to your investment goals and objectives.
The Retirement Tool utilizes your current and future savings and time horizon to estimate potential retirement
income based on a sample investment selection. Your Financial Advisor will help you evaluate which of the
Allocation Models provide the highest likelihood of meeting your targeted level of retirement income. You
should be aware that the Retirement Tool analysis is based on PNC Wealth Management’ default Allocation
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 8 of 36
Models, which may vary from the investment portfolio ultimately recommended to you in an investment
proposal as discussed further below. You should also know that certain Allocation Models discussed above are
not available in the Retirement Tool.
Whether your Financial Advisor utilizes an investment questionnaire or the Retirement Tool, your Financial
Advisor will assist you to select from a variety of approved funds and investment models (“Investment Models”)
offered by professional third‐party asset managers (“Model Providers”) as further described below, available
through the Program. We will present our investment strategy recommendation to you in the form of a
proposal (the “Proposal”), which will include the actual initial investment portfolio recommended to you, for
your acceptance and approval. It is very important that you understand the risks associated with the Allocation
Model you select and should discuss this with your Financial Advisor if you have any questions.
From time‐to‐time your Financial Advisor may recommend changes to your Allocation Model or to the Funds or
Investment Models you have selected. You may also request changes to your Allocation Model or your selected
Funds or Investment Models, subject to certain restrictions described in this brochure. PNC Wealth Management
has delegated certain portfolio management services to Envestnet Asset Management, Inc., an unaffiliated
investment adviser (the “Investment Delegate”) for Program Accounts. The Investment Delegate will implement
Model Providers’ Investment Models (excluding Manager Traded Models as described below) and will facilitate
the execution of trades in your Account as instructed by PNC Wealth Management. Manager Traded Models are
fixed income Models, and trades for those Models are implemented by the Model Provider rather than by PNC
Wealth Management or the Investment Delegate. Finally, PNC Wealth Management will periodically exercise its
discretion to adjust Allocation Models or remove Funds or Investment Models from our approved list. In all of
these circumstances, PNC Wealth Management will update your Allocation Model and/or the Funds or
Investment Models you have selected accordingly and, if necessary to align your account to the new investment
model, will execute transactions in your account. Note that you will not be sent a new Proposal in these
circumstances, unless requested through your Financial Advisor. Furthermore, PNC Wealth Management may, at
its discretion, remove an asset allocation model from the schedule of available models and replace it with
another model, without any prior notice to you.
PNC Wealth Management retains the authority to limit the availability of any investment model offered by a
Model Provider, or Fund, and/or to terminate or change investment models or Funds when circumstances are
such that PNC Wealth Management believes a change is in your best interest. If an investment model or Fund is
terminated, PNC Wealth Management will select a replacement investment without any prior notice to you.
Certain of these changes will result in an increase/decrease to the fees discussed further herein (see Services,
Fees and Compensation – Fees and Expenses). Although you will not be sent an updated Proposal in some
circumstances described above, any changes to the Account’s fees will be reflected on future Account
statements summarizing the activity in your Account.
Before you may establish a Capital Directions Account, you must establish a brokerage account with PNC Wealth
Management and agree to the terms and conditions of the PNC Wealth Management Brokerage Account
Customer Agreement. By accepting and signing the Investment Management Agreement, you grant discretion
over your Account to PNC Wealth Management and you authorize us to invest and reinvest the assets in your
Account in a combination of equity securities, fixed income securities, Funds, and other financial instruments in
accordance with the Allocation Model that you have selected. The scope of any investment advisory relationship
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 9 of 36
we have with you is defined in the Investment Management Agreement. When you are enrolled in the Program,
we will act as your introducing broker and we will also act as your investment advisor, but only for your Program
Account and not for any other assets or accounts, unless otherwise separately agreed to by us in writing. As
discussed in more detail below, we earn certain fees and other revenue in connection to our capacity as
introducing broker to your account. This is a conflict of interest because we would not earn such fees or
revenue if we did not serve as your introducing broker. Our Capital Directions Program advisory relationship
with you begins when we enter into an Investment Management Agreement with you, which occurs at the later
of the date of acceptance of the signed Investment Management Agreement by PNC Wealth Management or
the date on which you have contributed the required minimum level of assets to your Account. Preliminary
discussions or recommendations before we enter into an Investment Management Agreement with you are not
intended as investment advice under the Investment Advisers Act and should not be relied on as such.
The Capital Directions Program is designed for investors who wish to give PNC Wealth Management full
discretion to invest the assets in their Accounts according to the asset allocation model selected. Once you are
approved for the Program, you will not have the ability to directly buy or sell individual securities in your
Account, or to direct your Financial Advisor or any Model Provider to buy or sell securities in your Capital
Directions Account. You will not be able to obtain a margin loan using the securities in your Account as
collateral.
You will retain, however, the ability to place reasonable restrictions on the securities that may be purchased for
or held in your Account, subject to the review and approval of PNC Wealth Management as the manager of the
Account and based on the investment model selected. In general, you may impose individual security
restrictions, including Funds, and specific equity securities or industry restrictions. You may also have the ability
to restrict certain bond characteristics, such as years to maturity, credit quality or duration. PNC Wealth
Management will determine which specific securities fall within an industry restriction and will implement any
industry restrictions in a manner it determines in its sole discretion from time‐to‐time. If an individual security
restriction is reasonable, PNC Wealth Management will generally allocate assets that would have been invested
in a restricted security to cash or one or more substitute securities, which may include ETFs, on a pro rata basis.
Any restrictions you impose on individual securities will not apply to the underlying holdings of Funds.
PNC Wealth Management will be responsible for monitoring and maintaining the asset allocation models
available through the Capital Directions Program and will have the discretion to buy and sell securities for your
Account. Depending on the asset allocation model chosen, PNC Wealth Management will make investments in,
without limitation, equity securities, fixed income securities, cash (and/or short‐term investments including, but
not limited to, money market funds), Funds, and other financial instruments. PNC Wealth Management may, at
its discretion, remove an asset allocation model from the schedule of available models and replace it with
another model, without any prior notice to you.
If you elect to, you may enroll two or more of your related Program Accounts in a multi‐account management
relationship (“MAM”). When you enroll two or more of your Program Accounts in MAM (collectively “MAM
Accounts”) PNC Wealth Management will apply a single Allocation Model across all MAM Accounts. All MAM
Accounts will be managed pursuant to a single household‐level Allocation Model as shown on your Proposal.
Only accounts that you would like managed pursuant to the Allocation Model should be included in the MAM. If
you have other managed accounts at PNC Wealth Management that have a different time horizon or risk
tolerance, they should not be included in MAM. You will receive a single Quarterly Report for all associated
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 10 of 36
MAM Accounts. You should be aware that deposits or withdrawals made into a MAM Account will in most cases
cause substantial trading in both that account as well as other MAM Accounts in order to keep them allocated
pursuant to the Allocation Model in the aggregate. Similarly, adding or removing a Program Account from MAM
will in most cases cause substantial trading in all MAM Accounts. Such trading may also result in you incurring
redemption fees from certain mutual funds and will result in tax consequences in taxable Program Accounts.
MAM is designed to allow flexibility with respect to the placement of assets in different account types for tax
efficiency and to use a tax‐aware strategy when making trades in MAM Accounts. If both qualified and non‐
qualified accounts are included in MAM, MAM will utilize an asset location preference where Investment
Options are allocated to non‐qualified or qualified accounts based on their relative tax inefficiency (calculated
based on the pre‐tax and post‐tax returns that are reported by Fund companies). Some assets tend to be more
tax efficient, such as equities and equity‐based Funds, and generally represent greater investment risk. Taxable
MAM Accounts generally carry a disproportionate amount of the investment risk in a MAM relationship. You
should only combine non‐qualified and qualified accounts in a single MAM relationship if you understand this
and are comfortable with this allocation between accounts.
You may choose to discontinue MAM with respect to one or more MAM Accounts. In addition, PNCWM may in
its discretion elect to discontinue offering MAM. In such event or if any MAM Account’s IMA is terminated for
any reason, unless you provide different instructions ahead of the termination, each remaining MAM Account
will be rebalanced to individually meet the target Allocation Model. This may cause significant tax impacts to any
non‐qualified account. You are urged to discuss MAM with your tax professional.
You may also select an optional tax‐overlay service for your non‐qualified Program Account (“Tax‐Overlay
Service”). When you select the Tax‐Overlay Service, your Financial Advisor will work with you to establish short
and long‐term tax budgets and the Investment Delegate will attempt to manage your Program Account in such a
way as to prevent realized short and long‐term taxable gains from exceeding agreed upon budgets. The
Investment Delegate will do this by timing the purchase and sales of equity securities in such a way as to
attempt to minimize the tax impacts to your Program Account. The Investment Delegate will also actively seek
opportunities to realize taxable losses in your non‐qualified Program Account by selling equity securities that
have depreciated in value. These realized losses can be utilized to offset realized gains in your Program Account
or other taxable accounts. Note that the Investment Delegate will actively seek to realize losses only in equity
positions held in Investment Models and will not actively realize losses in Funds held in your Program Account.
Additionally, the Tax‐Overlay Service will cause the holdings in your Program Account to deviate from holdings
of other accounts utilizing the same Model Provider. Finally, you should be aware that no strategy, including the
Tax‐Overlay Service, will prevent the realization of taxable gains from your investments. The Tax‐Overlay Service
seeks to minimize the current impact of taxes on your Program Account but will not eliminate the eventual
realization of imbedded gains from your Program Account. If you elect to terminate the Tax‐Overlay Service for
your Program Account, you need to be aware that any unrealized embedded taxable gains will likely be realized
as a result. You should carefully review the unrealized embedded taxable gains in your Program Account before
electing to terminate the Tax‐Overlay Service. Withdrawals from your Program Account will likely force the
Investment Delegate to liquidate securities and exceed the short and/or long‐term tax budgets. When you
select the Tax‐Overlay Service, PNC Wealth Management will review and must approve your Program Account
for the service. You may not utilize the Tax‐Overlay Service on any accounts associated in a MAM relationship.
PNC Wealth Management, your Financial Advisor and the Investment Delegate do not provide tax advice. If you
are considering the Tax‐Overlay Service, you should review your tax situation with your independent tax adviser
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 11 of 36
to fully evaluate how you may benefit from it. The annual fee for the Tax‐Overlay Service is 0.15% (the “Tax
Overlay Fee”) which is calculated and charged similarly to the Program Fee, described in detail below. In certain
circumstances, the Tax Overlay Fee may exceed the tax benefit, in any given tax year. You should be aware,
although, the Investment Delegate will actively manage taxes only with respect to the equity positions in your
Program Account, the Tax‐Overlay Service fee will apply to the full account balance, including assets held in cash,
Funds or other non‐equity positions.
You may also select one of several responsible investing models (collectively the “RI Models”) made available by
PNCWM. In the RI Models, PNCWM seeks to incorporate various responsible investing characteristics as part of
the investment selection process. Responsible investing can be defined very differently by individuals, however,
at PNCWM, we implement this through our approach to Fund selection. PNCWM utilizes data from Morningstar
to assist in assessing the responsible investing characteristics of Funds. PNCWM will seek to include Funds in the
RI Models that are intentionally managed using environmental, social, or governance (“ESG”) screening or other
values‐based criteria or based on their scores for ESG Risk or Controversy Level, as measured by Sustainalytics, a
Morningstar Company. Funds are ranked based on scoring of each Fund’s mandate or investment process as it
relates to various responsible investing approaches as well as Morningstar’s analysis of Funds’ holdings, proxy
voting history, and performance. In general, Funds exhibiting the following responsible investing characteristics
are favored: clear incorporation of ESG criteria in their security analysis and investment decision‐making; seek to
have an impact on thematic issues; utilize negative screening to avoid investments that violate norms‐based,
faith‐based, or other values‐based criteria; practice a form of active ownership through which they engage with
corporate management on ESG issues; have actively supported ESG arrangements through their proxy voting;
holding companies with lower risk related to ESG issues or misconduct, as scored by Sustainalytics. Note that
funds may exhibit any one or more of the preceding characteristics.
Responsible investing priorities are a matter of personal preferences, and there is no assurance that criteria
utilized by PNCWM will match your personal responsible investing priorities. You should carefully review the
prospectus, Form ADV, or other offering documents for Funds available in the RI Models and evaluate if the
Funds’ ESG or other values‐based criteria and strategy match your own priorities. Additionally, you should know
that, while Funds may apply responsible investing or ESG criteria to their proxy voting decision making process,
where PNCWM votes proxies on your behalf, discussed further below, PNCWM, through its delegate Envestnet,
will apply our standard proxy voting policies and will not apply any responsible investing or ESG related criteria
to proxies we vote on your behalf in the RI Models. PNCWM expects that the RI Models will typically include
one or more Funds without a specific responsible investment mandate. PNCWM will include Funds without a
specific responsible investing mandate when we are unable to identify suitable responsible investing Funds to
fulfil a particular portfolio allocation. PNCWM does not set a minimum percentage allocation to Funds with a
responsible investment mandate for the RI Models. In addition, even if you elect to invest pursuant to an RI
Model, you may elect to include certain non‐RI Model Funds in your Program account. Finally, all investment
strategies, including responsible investing related strategies, carry the risk of loss, and there is no assurance that
a responsible investing strategy can guarantee a profit or protect against loss. In addition, there is no assurance
that any responsible investing related strategy, including the RI Models, will provide any investment benefit
relative to similarly constructed non‐responsible investing related strategies.
In addition to RI Models, PNCWM offers values‐based investments, with categories such as gender, minority,
religion, sustainability or environment, which seek to reflect a customer’s values by avoiding or increasing
exposure to specific companies, sectors or practices. Certain religious values‐based investment managers invest
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 12 of 36
in companies that generate income and returns inconsistent with a particular religion’s philosophies. In cases
where this occurs, it is the customer’s responsibility to determine the amount, if any, of non‐compliant
generated income and/or gains. For more information about how to address these types of non‐compliant
income or returns, please refer to the religious values‐based investment’s prospectus or disclosure agreement.
Automatic Rebalancing
The Capital Directions Program provides automatic rebalancing to ensure that the investments in your Account
continue to conform to the selected allocation model. Asset allocations are monitored on a quarterly basis, and
generally, we will rebalance an Account if any asset class varies by more than 3% from its target allocation within
the model. In lieu of the Program’s default practice of rebalancing on a quarterly basis, you may request that
periodic rebalancing for your Account occur on a less frequent basis of either semi‐annually or annually. You
should consider, however, that less frequent periodic rebalancing, could cause your Account to diverge from the
selected allocation percentages and such divergence could potentially negatively or positively impact
performance.
In addition to periodic automatic rebalancing, we will also rebalance your Account if you change your
investment model, or when contributions to or withdrawals from your Account cause the cash balance to
exceed 5% or be less than 0.5%, respectively, of the portfolio value. Occasionally, the total cash balance of your
Account can exceed 5% or be less than 0.5%, respectively, of the portfolio value. Occasionally, the total cash of
your Account can exceed 5% when Model Providers utilized in your Account hold significant cash in their
Investment Model or a Dollar Cost Averaging ("DCA”) method funding has been selected (as further explained
below). Further, you may also request, subject to approval by PNC Wealth Management, that an ad hoc
rebalance be executed.
In order to avoid the expense of inefficient rebalancing, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to from
time‐to‐time change timeframes for effecting rebalances to your Account as well as the thresholds that must be
exceeded before any rebalancing will occur. To rebalance an Account, we buy or sell, as relevant, shares of the
individual Funds in an Account until its holdings match the Fund weight percentage specified for the applicable
model. Rebalancing transactions are subject to short‐term trading policies, described more fully below, of Funds
held in your Account, and, if your account is taxable, will create tax consequences for your Account.
Account Statements
You will receive a monthly statement following any month in which there is investment activity in your Account,
confirming all transactions in your Account, including additions, disbursements, purchases, sales, and advisory
fees paid to PNC Wealth Management combined, if applicable with fees paid to Model Providers. For periods in
which there is no investment activity in your Account, statements will be provided quarterly. You will also
receive a quarterly performance report that tracks the performance of your portfolios against relevant
benchmarks. You will be reminded quarterly to contact your Financial Advisor if you should have any questions,
or if there have been material changes in your financial goals or needs that would affect your investment
strategy.
Account Termination
Either party may terminate the Investment Management Agreement on 30 days’ written notice to the other
party. You are also entitled to terminate such agreement within five (5) business days of your execution of it
without incurring a Program Fee, defined below; you may, however, be subject to certain other fees incurred
with respect to the Account for the relevant period. Upon the termination of the Investment Management
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 13 of 36
Agreement, PNCWM will be under no obligation to provide advice on any holdings in your Account. Any
transactions executed by you after the termination of the Investment Management Agreement will be subject to
fees and commissions described in the PNC Wealth Management Overview of Products and Services (the
“Overview of Products and Services”). You may obtain a copy of our current Overview of Products and Services,
at any time, by contacting your Financial Advisor, by contacting us at (800) 622‐7086 or online at
www.pnc.com/investments‐relationship‐summary. In addition, upon learning of the death of any account
owner, PNCWM will immediately terminate the Investment Management Agreement. You should be aware that
any transactions executed by your heirs or beneficiaries after your death will be subject to fees and commissions
described in the Overview of Products and Services, unless waived by us in our sole discretion. Please see the
agreement governing your Capital Directions Program Account for more information.
The Investment Management Agreement will continue in effect until terminated by you or PNC Wealth
Management upon 30 days’ written notice to the other party.
Review of Accounts
When you open a Capital Directions Program Account, we review and must approve your investment objectives
and strategy for consistency with Capital Directions Program guidelines. Thereafter, we will monitor the Account
on an ongoing basis, including its performance, the appropriateness of the individual securities in it, and any
investment restrictions that might apply.
We will attempt to contact you at least annually, including by mail or email (if you have authorized us to send
you electronic communications), to request that you review your Account and inform us of any changes to your
financial profile or investment objectives. You should inform your Financial Advisor of any changes to your
financial profile or investment objectives as they occur. Your Financial Advisor will communicate any changes
about you to PNC Wealth Management. If you elect to utilize an investment model offered by a Model Provider,
you will have very limited, if any, direct contact with the Model Provider selected for your Account. Therefore, it
is very important that you maintain contact and communication with your Financial Advisor. You should direct
any inquiries about your Account, the allocation model or any Model Providers to your Financial Advisor.
Finally, your Financial Advisor will be reasonably available to you for consultation about the Account. We
encourage you to please contact your Financial Advisor if you have any questions.
Securities Transferred into an Account
You should be aware that if you transfer securities into a Capital Directions Account, any transferred securities
that are not part of the recommended investments for your Account will be liquidated upon or shortly after
transfer. Typically, this means that we will liquidate all of the securities you transfer into your account prior to
investing your Account in the recommended investments.
If your account is not tax‐exempt, you will incur tax consequences as a result of these transactions. You should
consult with your tax adviser to review these consequences. Additionally, if you liquidate securities prior to
transferring your account to PNC Wealth Management or liquidate your securities prior to establishing your
Capital Directions account, you will likely incur transaction costs for those transactions. PNC Wealth
Management will not reimburse you for transactions executed at another firm. Please note that if you transfer
illiquid securities into a Capital Directions Account, it will delay management of that Account until such securities
are transferred out or otherwise removed. You may, at your election, chose an optional Dollar Cost Averaging
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 14 of 36
(“DCA”) feature when adding funds to your Program Account. With the DCA feature, you have the ability to
deploy free cash to your Allocation Model over a defined period and in pre‐determined amounts. The DCA
feature can enable clients to slowly invest excess cash over time, rather than make one lump‐sum investment.
You have no obligation to complete scheduled DCA transactions and may terminate the DCA feature at any time,
by providing notice to us, at least 5 business days prior to the next scheduled DCA transaction. You should know
that if sufficient cash is not available in your Account at the time of a scheduled DCA transaction, that
transaction, and all future scheduled DCA transactions will be canceled. You should also be aware that cash
pending investment under an optional DCA plan will be treated as unallocated cash and swept to a deposit
account at our affiliate bank, as described below. The parameters of DCA requests are subject to our approval.
Withdrawals from an Account
You should also be aware that if you request a withdrawal from a Capital Directions Account, PNC Wealth
Management as investment manager, may need to liquidate a portion of the Account to cover the requested
withdrawal amount. This will happen, for example, when the cash in your Account is insufficient to
accommodate the requested withdrawal. If your account is taxable, you will incur tax consequences as a result.
These transactions are subject to short‐term trading policies of Funds held in your account. Liquidation
requests are processed according to our standard procedures and your liquidation request may not be
completed on the day it was submitted. This is more likely if your request is submitted late in the day or during
periods of severe market volatility. Cash is available for distribution three to five business days after the initial
request is made, however, you should also be aware that liquidation transactions are at the discretion of the
investment manager and could exceed this timeframe.
Taxes
You need to be aware that the Program operates in a manner that is not a tax efficient investment strategy,
especially in taxable accounts, and will likely cause non‐retirement Capital Directions accounts to more
frequently experience taxable gains and losses than a brokerage account holding individual securities for the
same amount of time. When we, at our discretion, sell securities to rebalance your asset allocation or to adjust
your program model, the transaction will likely create a capital gain or loss for you. Additionally, any securities
that you sell in order to raise cash to open and or be deposited into your account will likely create a capital gain
or loss. These capital gains and losses are in addition to dividends and capital gains paid by the securities in the
account. You should consider and discuss the potential tax implications of opening and maintaining a Capital
Directions account with your tax adviser.
Fees and Expenses
You will pay both a program fee (the “Program Fee”) and, if you elect to utilize an investment model offered by a
Model Provider, a separate model provider fee (the “Model Provider Fee”) for the services provided under the
Capital Directions Program. The Program Fee, Tax Overlay Fee (if the Tax Overlay Service as described above is
selected) and Model Provider fee, if applicable, will be combined and reflected on your account statement as
the management fee (the “Management Fee”). You should be aware that your account is subject to the
Management Fee whether you make or lose money on the investments. Each fee is calculated as a percentage
of assets under management and will vary depending on the services provided to you. Generally, you will be
charged commissions or service charges for transactions executed prior to establishing your Capital Directions
account; you should discuss your options for funding your account with your Financial Advisor.
The Program Fee is based on the total assets under management, including any portion of the Account
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 15 of 36
maintained in cash or in short‐term vehicles including, but not limited to, unallocated cash swept to a deposit
account at our affiliate, PNC Bank, or money market funds. As the aggregate market value of the Program
Account and if applicable, other managed accounts in the billing household reach a higher tier, as shown in the
table below, the assets within that higher tier are charged a lower rate.
Our standard Program Fee schedule is as follows:
Assets Under Management
Maximum Program Fee
First $250,000
2.00%
Next $250,000
1.75%
Next $500,000
1.50%
Next $1,000,000
1.25%
Next $2,000,000
1.00%
Over $4,000,000
Negotiable
From time‐to‐time, we offer discounted pricing programs at our discretion. For example, current employees of
PNCWM and their immediate family members are eligible for employee pricing.
Your Financial Advisor has discretion to negotiate a Program Fee that varies from the standard schedule above.
This can depend on certain factors, including the type and size of your Account, the range of services provided
and the total amount you or other members of your household have invested with PNC Wealth Management.
The Program Fee for your Account is referenced in the fee schedule included as part of the Proposal completed
and accepted by you. The Program Fee you pay to PNC Wealth Management for the Capital Directions Program
is charged quarterly in advance and will be based on the average daily balance in your Capital Directions Account
over the prior calendar quarter or portion thereof (except in the case of a new Capital Directions Account). The
Program Fee covers the cost of brokerage commissions and other transaction fees only for transactions
executed through National Financial Services LLC (“National Financial”) on an agency basis. With respect to
Investment Models, the Investment Delegate will typically route trades to National Financial for execution.
From time‐to‐time, the Investment Delegate will trade through broker dealers other than National Financial
when the Investment Delegate determines, in its sole discretion that this is in your best interest. Trades
executed away from National Financial are described as “trading away” or “step‐out trades.” Model Providers
will typically trade away for all trades when implementing trades in a Manager Traded Model. You will bear the
cost of any brokerage commissions incurred on transactions executed through other brokers, dealer markups,
markdowns and spreads when the Investment Delegate or a Model Provider trades away from National
Financial. See the Additional Fees for Brokerage Services and Trading Practices section below for details.
In addition to the Program Fee, if you elect to utilize an investment model offered by a Model Provider, you will
pay a separate Model Provider Fee for the services provided by the investment manager(s) that provide the
investment model(s) you have selected. The Model Provider Fee is based on the average daily balance of assets
under advisement invested pursuant to the applicable investment model(s), including any portion of the
Account maintained in cash, or in short‐term vehicles including, but not limited to, unallocated cash swept to a

deposit account at our affiliate, PNC Bank, or money market funds, over the prior calendar quarter, or portion
thereof. PNCWM will bill Program Accounts on behalf of Model Providers and will remit payment to the
appropriate Model Providers on behalf of Program Accounts. PNCWM does not anticipate retaining any portion
of the Model Provider Fee. Current Model Provider Fees are set forth in the table below and are subject to

*Strategist Traded Model
**Tiered Fee Schedule ‐ Maximum Rate is Displayed
Calculation of Account Fees
The Program Fee and the Model Provider Fee will be paid in advance following the end of each calendar quarter
for the upcoming quarter and will be calculated on the last business day of the quarter as follows. The Program
Fee is calculated based upon the average daily market value of the total assets in the Account over the prior
calendar quarter, including cash holdings. Cash holdings in excess of 7.5% (operational cash purposes i.e.,
trading and account maintenance needs) will be excluded from the average daily market value calculation when
the Program fee is calculated. The Model Provider Fee is calculated based on the average daily market value of
assets in the Account invested pursuant to the applicable investment model(s), including any portion of such
assets maintained in cash, money market funds or other short‐term vehicles pursuant to the applicable
investment model(s), over the prior calendar quarter. Because the Model Provider Fee differs based upon the
investment options selected for the Account, the actual aggregate fees charged to the Account will be based
upon the fees attributable to the investment options included in the Account at the time of the fee calculation
(i.e., the last business day of the calendar quarter). Accordingly, it is important to note that changes in the
Account’s asset allocation caused by rebalancing, as well as changes among the types of investment options,
during a particular calendar quarter will cause the aggregate of the Program Fee and the Model Provider Fee to
be higher or lower than such aggregate amount would have been if calculated based on the composition of the
investment options actually held in the Account during the relevant calendar quarter. Upon your request, we
will provide you with a detailed explanation of the fee calculation which will allow you to recalculate the fees
should you so desire.
If your Account is new, you will pay an initial fee after the date that National Financial, the custodian, receives
the initial assets of your Account. An adjustment to the next quarterly fee will be made for any significant
contributions or distributions that occur during the inception quarter of your Account. With your initial
contribution and for any additional contribution or distribution adjustments, your fee will be calculated for that
portion of the ongoing quarterly Program Fee that relates to the number of days remaining in the calendar
quarter as of the date your Account becomes subject to the Investment Management Agreement or that you
make the additional contribution or distribution, as applicable. This Program Fee will be based on the total
market value of assets in your Account on that date.
If your Account is terminated by you or PNC Wealth Management during a calendar quarter, the fee for that
quarter will be prorated over the number of days that the Account was open during the quarter. Any
overpayment will be refunded to you after the Account is closed. Fees are not prorated for contributions or
withdrawals made during a calendar quarter, except in the case of a new or terminated Account, as outlined
above. If you terminate your Capital Directions account within 90 calendar days of initial investment, PNC
Wealth Management reserves the right to charge you commissions, according to the Overview of Products and
Services, for transactions executed on your behalf during the time your account was managed, less any pro‐
rated advisory fee paid by you.
Additional Fees for Brokerage Services
PNC Wealth Management will charge its standard fees for additional brokerage account services that are not
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 20 of 36
included in the Program. Such fees include, but are not limited to, account termination/transfer fees (i.e.,
account transfer), wire transfer fees, IRA fees and stop payment fees. You should be aware that in some cases,
PNCWM retains this entire fee or marks up the fee our clearing firm, National Financial, charges to PNCWM for
these services. This is a conflict of interest for us because PNCWM has an incentive to utilize a clearing firm that
allows us to mark‐up designated fees. PNCWM also has incentive to recommend to you services that have been
marked‐up. Please refer to the Account Level Fees section of the Overview of Products and Services for details.
Deduction of Account Fees
All fees incurred by the Account will be paid from the cash balance or by selling shares of a money market
mutual fund. If the Account does not have a sufficient cash balance or enough money market mutual fund
shares to cover the fees, we will liquidate other securities as necessary to pay them.
Selling securities to pay fees is subject to the short‐term trading policies of Funds and, if your account is taxable,
will create tax consequences for you. You may contact your Financial Advisor if you have any questions regarding
the fees charged to your Account.
Clients who opened accounts in the Capital Directions Program prior to January 2, 2015 and who have not
previously authorized PNC Wealth Management to adjust your Program Fee may be subject to a Legacy Fee
Arrangement which varies from the schedule above (“Legacy Fee Arrangement”). Please note that the
authorization to adjust the Program Fee may have been obtained via negative consent. The Legacy Fee
Arrangement, if applicable, is outlined in your investment management agreement. At the sole discretion of PNC
Wealth Management, certain other Accounts converted from the Strategic Directions or Premier Directions
Programs as of October 1, 2015 may also be subject to a Legacy Fee Arrangement.
Other Expenses
Each Fund in which your Account is invested charges its own separate fund‐level fees and operating expenses,
including, for example, administrative, custody, transfer agent, legal and audit fees and expenses, investment
advisory or management fees, shareholder servicing fees, omnibus accounting fees, fees for sub‐administration,
recordkeeping, print mail services and other expenses. These fees and operating expenses are ultimately borne
by the shareholders invested in the Fund, including you, and will reduce your investment returns. Other classes
of mutual funds have lower fund‐level fees and expenses than those used in this Program. Please review the
relevant Funds’ prospectuses for a full explanation of fund expenses and charges.
PNC Wealth Management includes in the Program only “Approved Share Classes” of mutual funds, which are
share classes that generate revenue sharing payments, as described below, to PNCWM. PNCWM will select
Approved Share Classes that are either (i) share classes that trade on our custodian’s Institutional No‐
Transaction Fee platform (“INTF Eligible” share classes); or (ii) if no such INTF Eligible share class is available, the
least expensive non‐INTF Eligible share class eligible for inclusion in the Program. PNC Wealth Management uses
INTF Eligible share classes in order to reduce PNC Wealth Management’ overall program trading costs, which
costs would otherwise be payable by PNC Wealth Management. These selection criteria represent a conflict of
interest for us because they enable PNC Wealth Management to avoid costs, but also may result in you
purchasing a share class that is more expensive than other share classes of the same fund for which you are
eligible. You acknowledge that when you establish a Program Account, you authorize and direct PNC Wealth
Management to purchase for your Account only Approved Share Classes using the criteria described above and
you waive any obligation of PNC Wealth Management, if applicable, to purchase any other share classes for your
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 21 of 36
Account, even if less expensive share classes are available. A higher cost share class will adversely affect the
investment performance of your account.
INTF Eligible share classes do not typically charge shareholders 12b‐1 fees or pay those fees to us or our
custodian, which reduces costs to you, as compared to share classes that do pay 12b‐1 fees. As described more
fully below, money market funds held in your Account typically charge 12b‐1 fees, but we will rebate any such
fees we receive. Please note that the mutual funds included in the Program may provide compensation such as
fees for omnibus accounting, sub‐administration, shareholder services, recordkeeping, print mail services or
other related fees (“Mutual Fund Compensation”). While we do not expect to receive such fees, PNC Wealth
Management will credit to your Account any Mutual Fund Compensation or 12b‐1 fees paid to us in connection
with the holdings in your Account. Our custodian or other entities not affiliated with PNC Wealth Management
may receive Mutual Fund Compensation. PNC Wealth Management is not a party to such arrangements and we
will not credit your Account for Mutual Fund Compensation received by such entities. You should be aware that
any Mutual Fund Compensation paid to entities not affiliated with PNC Wealth Management increases Fund
expenses and, consequently, reduces the investment performance of your account.
Exchange‐traded funds, or ETFs, are similar to mutual funds in that they invest in a basket of securities, such as
stocks, bonds, or other asset classes. Unlike mutual funds, however, ETFs trade on an exchange and their price
can change throughout the day and may vary from the value of the underlying assets in the investment
portfolio. There are three different types of ETFs: Index based or Passive – which track a specified index such as
the S&P 500 or NASDAQ Composite Index, Smart beta – which invest in factors through a rules‐based index (low‐
volatility, equal‐weight, etc.), and actively managed – which are not tied to an index and offer portfolio manager
flexibility and security selection with the intent to outperform a benchmark. Most ETFs publish their holdings
daily. ETFs have internal operating expenses that reduce investment returns. Active ETFs generally, have higher
internal operating expenses than other ETF types. ETFs typically have lower expenses than mutual funds that are
actively managed. However, even though a mutual fund in the same asset class as an ETF may be more
expensive, other factors such as ETFs that trade less frequently could make a mutual fund more advantageous.
PNC Wealth Management receives an annual credit from National Financial (the “ETF Revenue Share Credit”).
The ETF Revenue Share Credit is projected based on future sales of actively managed ETFs through National
Financial. PNCWM's receipt of the ETF Revenue Share Credit is dependent on National Financial sharing a
portion of its actively managed ETF revenue. With the receipt of the ETF Revenue Share Credit, we are
incentivized to recommend actively managed ETFs over other ETFs and products in which we either receive less
or no revenue share as compared to the ETF Revenue Share Credit. We are also incentivized to select and
continue our relationship with National Financial to receive the ETF Revenue Share Credit, which is contingent
on the fully disclosed clearing agreement with National Financial remaining in effect. We will retain the ETF
Revenue Share Credit in its entirety, and we will not pass along any portion of it to you. Your Financial Advisor
does not receive any portion of the ETF Revenue Share Credit. You should be aware that any ETF Revenue Share
Credit paid to entities not affiliated with PNC Wealth Management increases Fund expenses and, consequently,
reduces the investment performance of your account.
PNC Wealth Management receives an annual credit from National Financial (the “Business Development
Credit”). PNCWM is incentivized to select and continue its relationship with National Financial to receive the
Business Development Credit, which is contingent on the fully disclosed clearing agreement with National
Financial remaining in effect. The Business Development Credit is not related to the sale or offer of any specific
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 22 of 36
products or services, nor is it dependent upon assets under management. If received, we will retain the
Business Development Credit in its entirety, and we will not pass along any portion of it to you. Your Financial
Advisor does not receive any portion of the Business Development Credit.
Additionally, if under certain circumstances our clearing arrangement with National Financial is terminated prior
to the expiration of our agreement, PNCWM is subject to certain contractual fees and penalties (collectively, the
“Termination Fee”). The Termination Fee creates a strong disincentive for PNCWM to consider clearing
relationships other than National Financial. This creates a conflict of interest for us as we expect to benefit from
the continued recommendation of National Financial as our clearing firm. Additionally, PNCWM is further
incentivized to continue the relationship with National Financial as we may not receive the same incentives from
other clearing firm arrangements, such as receiving particular credits from National Financial or having the
ability to mark‐up certain fees to clients.
PNC Wealth Management receives additional compensation, referred to as revenue sharing, from the advisors
or distributors of the mutual funds offered in the Program, which compensates us for administrative services we
provide to them and is based on the amounts our customers invest in those mutual funds in the Program. Our
independent due diligence process for selecting mutual funds and ETFs for the Program is designed so that
products are selected based on objective, investment related criteria and does not take into account
compensation to PNC Wealth Management. However, only funds for which we receive revenue sharing are
considered for inclusion in this due diligence process. This is a conflict of interest for us because mutual funds
and or certain ETFs that may otherwise meet our investment criteria are not included in the Program because
their advisors or distributors do not offer revenue sharing to PNC Wealth Management. In addition, we
receive a higher revenue share amount on mutual funds than ETFs. This is a conflict of interest for us when
there are similar products offered in both product categories as we will be paid more revenue share when
recommending mutual funds than if an ETF is recommended. We will not credit your Accounts for any
revenue sharing payments we receive. Although we include only mutual funds and certain ETFs whose sponsors
pay PNCWM revenue sharing, we believe this conflict is mitigated by the large and diverse universe of Funds we
make available in our programs which meet our clients’ needs. Your Financial Advisor is not paid any part of the
revenue sharing arrangements. You should also be aware that we will liquidate mutual funds and or certain ETFs
held in your Account if the advisors or distributors of those funds discontinue their participation in our revenue
sharing program. If your Account is taxable, you will have tax consequences as a result of such liquidations. PNC
Wealth Management offers other advisory programs that include Funds whose advisors and distributors do not
participate in revenue sharing. You can discuss our other advisory program options with your Financial Advisor if
you wish to invest in Funds outside our revenue sharing program. We will not credit your Account for any
revenue sharing payments we receive. For details on revenue sharing received by PNC Wealth Management
from mutual fund and certain ETF advisors or distributors, please see the following link:
https://www.pnc.com/content/dam/pnc‐com/pdf/personal/wealth‐management/Additional‐Compensation‐
Disclosure.PDF
For more information around the compensation a particular mutual fund or ETF provider may pay, please refer
to the Fund’s prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information.
Additionally, some Funds impose redemption fees depending on the share class, if they are redeemed within a
specified time period, to discourage short‐term trading or for other reasons. The relevant Fund company retains
these redemption charges from the proceeds of the redemption for the benefit of the remaining shareholders of
the Fund. Refer to the prospectus or Statement of Additional Information of relevant Funds for details on each
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 23 of 36
Funds’ short‐term trading policies. The amount of such fees and charges retained will be reflected on your
account trade confirmations.
Purchasing securities in the Program may cost you more or less than purchasing the securities directly from the
funds or through agents of the funds without enrolling in the Program, including through a brokerage account at
PNC Wealth Management. By purchasing mutual funds outside of the Program, you may invest in a single fund
family and obtain “breakpoints” that could lower the cost of the Funds. However, if you purchase mutual fund
shares directly, you may not receive the asset allocation and account monitoring services available via the
Program and may not qualify to invest in share classes available to investors through the Program. In addition,
mutual funds purchased outside the Program may charge commissions, front‐end or back‐end sales charges, and
redemption fees, depending on the share class.
Finally, your Account may be invested in Funds for which PNC Wealth Management or one of our affiliates acts
as an advisor, sub‐advisor, or administrator, and receives a fee for such services. Therefore, PNC Wealth
Management or an affiliate receives fees for the services provided to the Funds. The level of advisory or sub‐
advisory fees paid to PNC Wealth Management or its affiliates by such Funds, is disclosed in the Prospectus
and/or Statement of Additional Information of such Funds. The maximum amount of your Account assets that
may be invested in Funds, which pay advisory or sub‐advisory fees to PNC Wealth Management or its affiliates
will depend on many factors, but in certain circumstances may reach 100% of your Account assets. You should
ask your Financial Advisor about these advisory or sub‐advisory fees, and you may terminate your Investment
Management Agreement with PNC Wealth Management at any time if you have any concerns about the level of
these fees or the incentives that they create. PNC Wealth Management has an obligation to invest your assets in
a manner that considers your best interest. To that end, PNC Wealth Management will take steps to minimize
potential conflicts of interest that arise from investing with Funds that pay PNC Wealth Management or its
affiliates advisory or sub‐advisory fees, to the extent required by applicable federal or state laws. PNC Wealth
Management evaluates the appropriateness of investing your assets in Funds managed by affiliates of PNC
Wealth Management, in the same manner as it evaluates all other Funds available through the Program.
Cash Balances
Unallocated cash will be automatically swept through the Bank Deposit Sweep Program (“BDSP”) into an
interest‐bearing deposit account (“Deposit Account”) at our affiliate, PNC Bank (and, as noted above, are
included in the assets on which Management Fees are charged). The interest rate (“BDSP interest rate”) for
BDSP assets held in the Deposit Account is determined by PNC Bank with input from PNC Wealth Management
such as objective competitive market data.
BDSP is the only cash sweep option available to your Program Account. The only exception is in very limited
situations where your account type is not eligible for BDSP (such as participant accounts of employer sponsored
qualified plans) and your funds will be invested in a money market mutual fund selected by us. You should be
aware that although assets held in the Deposit Account are protected by FDIC insurance neither PNC Wealth
Management nor PNC Bank will monitor whether BDSP deposits, individually or in combination with other
deposits you hold at PNC Bank, exceed FDIC insurance limitations. You should review your cash balance held in
the Deposit Account and other PNC Bank accounts to ensure that cash balances do not exceed FDIC insurance
coverage levels, or alternatively, in the event your cash balance exceeds FDIC insurance limitations, that you are
comfortable with the risks associated with having uninsured cash. The rate of return you receive on cash
balances will, in certain market conditions, be less than the Management Fees attributable to such cash
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 24 of 36
balances.
PNC Bank uses the BDSP program assets to fund its lending activities, allowing PNC Bank to earn revenue based
on the difference between the rate paid to you and the higher rate of interest earned by lending the assets to its
customers. Moreover, PNC Wealth Management receives revenue from PNC Bank based on the assets in the
BDSP, this revenue amount varies depending on market conditions, but will not exceed the current Federal
Funds Target Rate Range – Upper Limit rate (available online at https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DFEDTARU)
plus 0.50%. This means PNC Wealth Management benefits in two ways from placing assets in the BDSP (i.e., the
Management Fee and the revenue share from our affiliate). We will not credit any portion of this revenue to
your Program Account. Note that the revenue earned by PNC Wealth Management and our affiliate PNC Bank
will significantly exceed the interest credited to your Program Account from the allocation to BDSP. The revenue
we receive is a conflict of interest for us, because we, and our affiliate, PNC Bank, obtain a financial benefit when
your unallocated cash is held through the BDSP in a Deposit Account. This financial benefit is greater than the
financial benefit we would receive if your unallocated cash was invested through a different cash sweep vehicle
such as a money market fund.
For information pertaining to the interest rate spread earned by PNC on all loans, including those generated
from BDSP assets, please see the Net Interest Margin discussion in the most recent Annual Report on Form 10‐K
and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10‐Q for The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., available at,
https://investor.pnc.com/financial‐information/financial‐results.
Account assets invested through the BDSP typically will pay you less interest – and in some market conditions,
much less interest – than they would if invested in alternative cash sweep vehicles that are available to PNC
Wealth Management such as a money market fund. Accordingly, you should not participate in the Program if
you wish to hold your unallocated cash in another sweep vehicle. (Please note that while BDSP is used as the
sweep option to hold unallocated cash, if your account has an investment allocation to cash, that allocation will
typically be held in money market mutual funds or other short duration securities.) The rate of return you
receive on cash balances will, in certain market conditions, be less than the Management Fees attributable to
such cash balances.
You should also know that Model Providers utilized in your Program Account will have discretion to select the
vehicle (BDSP, money market mutual fund or other short duration security) for any cash in the Investment
Model. For more information regarding BDSP, including information about FDIC insurance limitations, please
see the PNCWM BDSP Disclosure Document, you may also review the current BDSP interest rate at the following
link: https://www.pnc.com/en/personal‐banking/investments‐and‐retirement/sweep‐program‐
rates.html. Additionally, information about FDIC insurance can be found on
https://www.fdic.gov/resources/deposit‐insurance/
Financial Advisor Compensation
A portion of the fees charged for Program services generally will be paid to your Financial Advisor in connection
with opening your Account, as well as for providing client‐related services within the Program. This
compensation may be more or less than a Financial Advisor would receive if you transacted in a brokerage
account, rather than a managed account in the Capital Directions Program, and paid separately for investment
advice, brokerage and other services covered by the Program Fee. Therefore, your Financial Advisor may have
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 25 of 36
greater financial incentive to offer a managed product over a brokerage product. As disclosed above, certain of
our Programs charge a negotiable Program Fee and others charge a negotiable Program Fee plus a Model
Provider Fee, which in certain circumstances may be waived but is not negotiable. Differences in fees for Model
Providers in Programs with a third‐party manager, or the absence of such fees in any Program, create a conflict
of interest as such differences provide an opportunity for Financial Advisors to negotiate a higher Fee for a
strategy with lower or no separate Model Provider Fees than they would for strategies that charge a higher
Model Provider Fee. The opportunity to negotiate a higher fee also creates a financial incentive for Financial
Advisors to recommend such Programs and/or Model Providers. The ability of the Financial Advisor to negotiate
a higher Program Fee in these circumstances also provides a financial benefit to PNC Wealth Management,
which retains a portion of the Program Fee. Occasionally, Program Accounts may be reassigned from the
originating Financial Advisor to a new Financial Advisor because the originating Financial Advisor leaves our firm,
takes a new position, or for other reasons. Financial Advisors receive less compensation for accounts reassigned
to them (“Reassigned Accounts”) than accounts they originated and therefore have a conflict of interest because
they have a financial incentive to provide better service to accounts that they have originated versus Reassigned
Accounts. Financial Advisors receive additional compensation when clients add funds to Reassigned Accounts
and have incentive to encourage additional deposits to Reassigned Accounts. PNC Wealth Management has
established policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that any recommendation made is suitable
for your unique circumstances. PNC Wealth Management may advance to Financial Advisors a portion of the
first year’s estimated fees for clients who invest in the Program. In addition, certain Financial Advisors who
typically work with higher net worth clients can earn enhanced upfront compensation when customers establish
a new advisory account or add new assets into an existing advisory account with us. This compensation creates a
conflict of interest because these Financial Advisors have an additional incentive to encourage clients to place
their funds in investment advisory accounts.
From time‐to‐time, PNC Wealth Management initiates incentive programs for its employees including Financial
Advisors. These programs include, but are not limited to, programs that compensate them for attracting new
assets and clients, or for referring business to our affiliates (such as referrals for mortgages, trusts, or insurance
services); programs that reward them for promoting investment advisory services, in some circumstances by
enhancing revenue credits paid to them in connection with new advisory accounts or additions to existing
advisory accounts, for participating in advanced training, and for improving client service; and programs that
reward Financial Advisors who meet total production criteria.
Financial Advisors who participate in these incentive programs are rewarded with cash and/or non‐cash
compensation, such as deferred compensation, bonuses, training symposiums and recognition trips. These
programs may be partly subsidized by external vendors or our affiliates, such as mutual fund companies,
insurance carriers or money managers. Therefore, our Financial Advisors have a financial incentive to
recommend the programs and services included in these incentive programs over other available products and
services that we offer.
ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS AND TYPES OF CLIENTS
Account Minimums and Types of Clients
The minimum account size for the Capital Directions Program is $50,000. We may terminate the advisory
services on any Account that falls below minimum account value guidelines established by the firm on 30 days’
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 26 of 36
written notice to the Account holder. To avoid termination, you may be required to deposit additional assets in
your Account to remain in the Capital Directions Program. Under certain limited circumstances, we may waive the
minimum account size requirement. If your Account was opened prior to October 1, 2015, the minimum account
size for your Account prior to October 1, 2015 will continue to apply to your Account.
In addition, Model Providers utilized for the Program typically impose their own investment minimums and may
limit or terminate the availability of their model for Accounts that fall below this minimum with 30 days’ notice
to PNC Wealth Management. Upon receipt of such account minimum notices from a Model Provider, PNC
Wealth Management will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify another Model Provider that is
consistent with or substantively similar to the model and/or Model Provider that has terminated the availability
of their model and resume a continuous investment program for the Account. PNC Wealth Management will
have limited or no ability to waive Model Provider minimums.
Collateral Accounts
Under certain circumstances you may elect to pledge the assets in your non‐IRA/ERISA Account as collateral for
a general purpose loan with our affiliate, PNC Bank, or other financial institution (collectively the “Lending
Arrangements”).
When your Account assets are pledged or otherwise used as collateral in connection with Lending
Arrangements, you give the lender certain rights and powers over the assets in the Account. Importantly,
lenders have the right to direct PNC Wealth Management to sell or redeem any and all assets pledged as
collateral for the loan. In the event of a collateral call on the Account, securities will be liquidated from the
Account, which may be contrary to your interests and/or inconsistent with the investment strategy for the
Account because positions may be redeemed or liquidated more rapidly (and/or at significantly lower prices)
than might be desirable. You or your Financial Advisor may not be provided with prior notice of the liquidation
of the securities in the Account. Furthermore, you and your Financial Advisor may not be entitled to choose the
securities to be liquidated. After the execution of a collateral call, any remaining securities in the Account may
be lower in value than the investment minimums required for the Capital Directions Program and the Account
may be subject to termination as described above.
You may wish to discuss with your Financial Advisor how a collateral call could impact you if your pledged
Account makes up all, or substantially all, of your overall net worth or investible assets. Any action taken by us,
or an affiliate, with respect to the assets held in your Account pursuant to the Lending Arrangements will not
constitute a breach of our fiduciary duties as an investment adviser to you under the Capital Directions Program.
The costs associated with the Lending Arrangements are not included in the Program Fee you pay under the
Program. Your transaction costs may rise as a result of a collateral call, because securities may be liquidated
under unfavorable market conditions. You should consult with your own independent tax adviser in order to
fully understand the tax implications associated with the Lending Arrangements. The securities subject to the
collateral call will not be liquidated in a manner that considers tax efficiency. PNC Wealth Management does
not provide legal, tax or accounting advice.
You are encouraged to speak with your Financial Advisor to the extent you have questions about the Program,
the Lending Arrangements and how they may impact the management of your Account. You should be aware
that PNC Wealth Management and your Financial Advisor have a conflict of interest because PNC Wealth
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 27 of 36
Management and your Financial Advisor’s compensation is based on the assets held in your account and
benefits if you enter into a Lending Arrangement instead of withdrawing funds from your account. In
addition, you should be aware that PNC Wealth Management and your Financial Advisor will be
compensated based on the amounts you draw on the credit line. This is a conflict of interest for your Financial
Advisor because he or she has an incentive to recommend Lending Arrangements as opposed to other potential
funding sources, because your Financial Advisor is not compensated for other options. In addition, PNC Bank
generates revenue by charging interest on any loan underwritten by PNC Bank, which represents a further
conflict of interest for PNC Wealth Management.
Qualification criteria and requirements, including but not limited to, approval criteria, underwriting standards,
loan to value requirements, maintenance requirements and asset eligibility vary by program. You should refer
back to the Lending Arrangements and associated documents for the specific terms governing the Lending
Arrangements.
PORTFOLIO MANAGER SELECTION AND EVALUATION
The Capital Directions Account is managed to diversify your investments and may include investments in equity
and fixed‐income securities, options, Funds and money market instruments. Accounts are managed on an
individual basis, and our asset allocation and investment recommendations are determined by and based on our
understanding of your financial situation, investment objectives and risk tolerance. You may impose further
reasonable restrictions and guidelines on your Account, but these will affect the composition and performance
of your portfolio.
Fund and Model Provider Selection and Evaluation
We select the investments and Model Providers that are available in the program. The factors influencing the
inclusion of any investment model or Fund on our list of recommended investments may include, among other
things, past performance, management style, quality of the relevant Model Provider or Fund manager, its
investment process, the number and continuity of investment professionals, and its client servicing capabilities.
While PNC Wealth Management is the sole sponsor of the Program, we receive research and assistance in
selecting and reviewing Model Providers, investment models, mutual funds and ETFs from the Private Bank
division (the “Private Bank”) of our affiliate PNC Bank and Morningstar, Inc. as well as other non‐affiliated third
parties (collectively, “Research Partners”). If applicable, expenses for these services are paid by PNC Wealth
Management. We also rely on the Research Partners for research and assistance in selecting and reviewing
investment models, mutual funds and ETFs for the Program. These services may include products of non‐
affiliated Research Partners which creates a conflict of interest since the Research Partner would benefit when
its products are included in the Program. In order to help mitigate this conflict, our independent due diligence
process for selecting mutual funds and ETFs for the Program is designed so that products are selected based on
objective, investment related criteria and does not take into account any sort of compensation to PNC Wealth
Management. We or the Private Bank may ask a relevant Model Provider to provide us with a completed
questionnaire, database information on the firm and statistical analysis of the Model Provider or Fund
manager’s track record. We, Morningstar or the Private Bank may also conduct interviews with members of the
Model Provider or Fund manager’s management. This process is an ongoing one, and investment models and
Funds are added or removed from the Program based on many factors, either internal or external to a Model
Provider or Fund manager’s management. Returns reported by Model Providers are derived from sources
believed to be reliable, but we make no representations or warranties as to the accuracy of such performance
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025

information.
The Program and other wrap programs we recommend includes products managed by investment management
affiliates of PNC Wealth Management, which receive compensation for their investment advisory and other
services. The services provided by our affiliates and the fees they collect for these services vary and generally are
disclosed in each Fund’s prospectus. These fees are paid directly by the Fund and affect the total return of a
shareholder’s investment. We will not treat those entities and Funds any differently from investment managers
and Funds that are not affiliated with PNC Wealth Management.
PNC Wealth Management and Other Service Providers to the Program
PNC Wealth Management was formed in 2003, and is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Bank. PNC Bank
is a wholly owned subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., a financial holding company.
PNC Wealth Management is registered with the SEC as an investment advisor and a broker‐dealer. PNC Wealth
Management is a member of FINRA and SIPC and serves as the sponsor of the Program.
PNC Wealth Management does not receive performance‐based fees calculated as a share of capital gains on, or
capital appreciation of, the funds or any portion of the funds or other investments in a client’s Account. National
Financial provides trading, custody and operational services for the Program. National Financial carries client
Accounts, is the custodian for the investments in your Account, reports all the trades in your Account and effects
many such trades. National Financial will provide you with trade confirmations, monthly statements, and income
tax reporting.
PNC Wealth Management has also engaged a service provider to perform certain support services in connection
with the Program, including account rebalancing for the asset allocation models. This service provider is also
responsible for calculating and preparing quarterly performance reports for client accounts.
Risks of Investing in the Capital Directions Program
Investing in securities, including the investments offered through the Program, involves risk of loss that you
should be prepared to bear. There is no guarantee that the elements of the Program, including the asset
allocation models, selection of investment manager models and/or research recommendations will protect
against such loss. Other risks include:
Market Risk. Market risk is the risk that the price of securities will fall over short or extended periods of
time. Historically, the prices of equity securities have moved in cycles, and the value of an Account’s
investments will fluctuate from day to day. When individual companies are negatively impacted by
industry or economic trends or report poor operating results, the price of securities issued by those
companies will typically decline in response. These factors contribute to price volatility.
Allocation Risk. A client Account is subject to the risk that asset allocation decisions will not anticipate
market trends correctly. For example, weighting an Account too heavily in equities during a stock market
decline may cause a loss of value. Conversely, investing too heavily in fixed income securities during a
period of stock market appreciation may result in lower total returns.
Credit Risk. The value of debt securities is affected by the ability of issuers to make principal and interest
payments. If an issuer cannot meet its payment obligations or if its credit rating is lowered, the value of
its debt securities will typically fall.
Interest Rate Risk. The value of fixed‐income investments will typically decline because of an increase in
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 29 of 36
market interest rates. In addition, in certain low‐yield interest rate environments, some short‐term
investments may produce negative yield, after accounting for fees, inflation and other expenses.
Liquidity Risk. The risk stemming from the lack of marketability of an investment that cannot be
bought or sold quickly enough to prevent or minimize a loss. Liquidity risk is typically reflected in
unusually wide bid‐ask spreads or large price movements (especially to the downside).
Stock-Specific (Unsystematic) Risk. Unsystematic risk is unique to a specific company or industry. Also
known as “nonsystematic risk,” “specific risk,” “diversifiable risk” or “residual risk,” in the context of an
investment portfolio, unsystematic risk can be reduced through diversification.
The Program is intended to be a long‐term investment program and does not support market‐timing or frequent
trading. You will be limited to one model change per calendar quarter, except as warranted by changes to your
financial situation as agreed by you and your Financial Advisor. In addition, you will be limited to one investment
manager model change per asset class per quarter, except as may be agreed by you and your Financial Advisor.
Frequent or excessive trading in Capital Directions accounts is grounds for account termination, with 30 days’
written notice, by PNC Wealth Management, even if the rules above are not violated. The determination of
frequent and/or excessive trading is solely at the discretion of PNC Wealth Management.
Trading Practices
PNC Wealth Management is an introducing broker‐dealer, clearing transactions related to the Program Accounts
through National Financial. PNC Wealth Management has a best execution committee (“BEC”) that meets
regularly to rigorously review data for equity orders executed by National Financial including those orders that
are sent by the Investment Delegate. Such data includes, among other things, speed of execution and price
improvement provided by the execution venues selected by National Financial. PNC Wealth Management does
not receive any payment for order flow from the execution venues. The BEC also reviews data for fixed income
trades executed through trading systems used by PNC Wealth Management to ensure that the net prices
obtained are reasonable under the circumstances.
The Program Fee includes the costs of trades executed only for transactions executed through National Financial
on an agency basis. The Program Fee does not include any additional trading expenses incurred when the
Investment Delegate determines to trade away from National Financial, for trades executed in Manager Traded
Models (as decided by the Model Providers) or for transactions where National Financial acts as principal. The
Investment Delegate will trade away from National Financial when the Investment Delegate determines it is in
your best interest to do so. This can occur when the Investment Delegate is implementing a model change
simultaneously across accounts with many different introducing firms, such as PNC Wealth Management. In
these instances, the Investment Delegate may group together trades from several different introducing firms
and execute those trades through a single broker‐dealer. This process is known as Block Trading (“Block
Trading”). Block Trading is intended to reduce the market impact of executing large transactions in a particular
security and can allow clients to get better overall execution prices than if the trades were placed individually.
The Investment Delegate may also trade away from National Financial when it determines that a broker‐dealer
other than National Financial is capable of obtaining a better execution price for the trade. This can typically
occur in thinly traded securities or in fixed‐income securities. Additionally, Manager Traded Models are
implemented directly by the Model Provider rather than by PNC Wealth Management or the Investment
Delegate. A Model Provider of a Manager Traded Model may trade away from National Financial for the same
reasons as described above. Model Providers historically implement substantially all trades in Manager Traded
Models away from National Financial. Model Providers for Manager Traded Models typically trade fixed income
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 30 of 36
securities away from National Financial. These trades will incur additional costs per bond or on a per transaction
basis. These costs are embedded in the net price you receive and are not separately disclosed by the executing
broker in your confirmation or statement. PNCWM does not receive any benefit when the Investment Delegate
or Model Providers elect to trade away.
In either case, it is important that you understand that you will pay any commissions, mark‐ups or mark‐downs
incurred, in addition to the Program Fee when the Investment Delegate or a Model Provider elects to trade
away from National Financial or for transactions where National Financial acts as principal. For additional
information on the trading practices of the Investment Delegate and the Model Providers, please see the
following link: https://www.pnc.com/content/dam/pnc-com/pdf/personal/wealth-investments/PNCWM/Trade-
Practice-Disclosure.pdf. Information regarding Investment Delegate and Model Provider trading practices is
based upon data provided to us by both the Investment Delegate and the Model Providers. We make no
representations regarding the accuracy of the information presented and cannot guarantee that the trading
practices reflected in the information presented will be followed by the Investment Delegate or Model Providers
in the future.
You should be aware that certain Model Providers provide their model portfolio updates to the Investment
Delegate after they make changes to accounts that they manage directly. In these instances, this will impact
execution prices for your Account relative to other accounts in the same investment strategy that are managed
directly by the Model Provider. Depending on various factors, including price movements and variations in trade
execution, the performance of your Account will differ from, and be better or worse than, the performance of
such other accounts managed directly by the Model Provider. You should also review the Form ADV Part 2 for
the Investment Delegate and, if applicable, the Model Provider you have selected, for additional information
regarding that firm’s execution practices.
Proxy Voting
PNC Wealth Management will vote all proxies for securities held in the Program Account on your behalf, unless
you direct otherwise. PNC Wealth Management has retained and delegated our proxy voting power to
Envestnet, a third‐party service provider, to receive proxy statements and to vote shares. Envestnet votes
proxies based on the recommendations of Glass‐Lewis & Co. (“Glass‐Lewis”), an independent third‐party
research provider. Glass‐Lewis issues voting recommendations based on its own internal guidelines, which assist
in limiting possible conflicts of interest in voting your proxies.
We will not vote proxies in accordance with voting instructions received from you. PNC Wealth Management has
adopted policies and procedures to address any conflicts that arise in connection with voting proxies. PNC
Wealth Management may depart from its stated guidelines in order to avoid voting decisions believed to be
contrary to the best interests of its clients. More information regarding our policies and procedures regarding
proxies can be obtained by contacting your Financial Advisor or by calling PNC Wealth Management at (800)
622‐7086.
If you choose, you may request to vote your own proxies by providing us with written instructions to deliver all
proxy related materials directly to you for consideration and execution. If you choose this option, proxy
materials typically will be forwarded to you by the custodian for your Account. If this option is selected, PNC
Wealth Management, or its third‐party service provider, will no longer be in a position to vote proxies for any
securities for your Account, including securities over which PNC Wealth Management has investment discretion.
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 31 of 36
PNC Wealth Management will not advise or act for you with respect to any legal matters for securities held in
your Account, including class actions or bankruptcies. Documents received with respect to such matters will be
forwarded directly to you for your consideration.
CLIENT INFORMATION PROVIDED TO PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
As part of the acceptance and approval process, and by signing the Investment Management Agreement, you
grant us discretionary trading authority over your Account. PNC Wealth Management utilizes information
regarding your financial circumstances, investment goals and objectives and any special written instructions you
may wish to give regarding your Account.
CLIENT CONTACT WITH PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
Your Financial Advisor will communicate any changes about you to PNC Wealth Management. You will have very
limited, if any, direct contact with the individuals responsible for making investment decisions for the Program
and will have no direct contact with the provider of any Manager Model you might select. You should direct any
inquiries regarding the investment manager to your Financial Advisor.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Disciplinary Information
On April 11, 2016, PNC Wealth Management entered into a settlement (an “AWC”) with FINRA. Without
admitting or denying the findings, PNC Wealth Management consented to the entry of findings that it
failed to reasonably supervise the application of sales charge waivers to eligible mutual fund sales and
failed to apply such waivers to mutual fund purchases by certain retirement plan customers that were
eligible to purchase Class A shares in certain mutual funds without a front‐end sales charge. The findings
also stated that PNC Wealth Management failed to maintain adequate written policies and procedures
or to provide adequate training to assist financial advisors in determining when sales charge waivers

charge waivers for fund purchases since July 1, 2009.
On April 6, 2018, PNC Wealth Management entered into a settlement (“Order”) with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Without admitting or denying the findings, PNC Wealth Management
consented to the findings that, as a result of the conduct described below, PNCWM willfully violated
Sections 206(2), 206(4) and 207 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”) and Rule 206(4)‐
7 thereunder. The Order finds that the violations resulted from the following conduct of PNCWM: (1)
PNCWM, without adequate disclosure of the associated conflicts of interest, invested advisory clients in
mutual fund share classes with 12b‐1 fees instead of available lower‐cost share classes of the same
funds without 12b‐1 fees; (2) PNCWM did not disclose a conflict of interest regarding marketing support
payments paid on such mutual fund share classes that charged 12b1 fees; (3) PNCWM improperly
charged advisory fees to client accounts where the investment adviser representative departed the firm
(“Orphaned Accounts”) and where PNCWM failed to assign a new investment adviser representative
within thirty days; and (4) PNCWM failed to adopt and implement written compliance policies and
procedures reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Advisers Act and the rules thereunder in
connection with its mutual fund share class selection practices and treatment of Orphaned Accounts.

Page 33 of 36

supervision of rates of deferred variable annuity exchanges. PNC Wealth Management was required to
pay a $200,000 fine and to implement a supervisory system and written supervisory procedures

Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
PNC Wealth Management’ principal business is that of a full‐service, general securities broker‐dealer and
investment adviser, registered with the SEC and as a member of FINRA. Our primary retail brokerage activities
include the sale of corporate equities, corporate debt, municipal securities and funds, mutual funds, ETFs and
annuities.
PNC Wealth Management is part of a broad financial services organization and is therefore affiliated with other
entities engaged in a variety of financial services businesses. In some cases, the firm has business arrangements
with its affiliates that are material to its advisory business or to its clients. These are described in more detail
below and, in some cases, cause PNC Wealth Management’ or a related person’s interests to diverge from the
best interests of our clients.
PNC Wealth Management is affiliated with the following financial services entities through its parent, The PNC
Financial Services Group, Inc.:
PNC Bank, National Association is a wholly owned subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.,
and is a full‐service bank engaged in traditional lending, cash and/or treasury management and other
services.
PNC Capital Advisors, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Bank and provides discretionary fixed
income investment advisory services to institutional accounts.
PNC Capital Markets LLC is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group,
Inc. and offers loan syndication, public finance underwriting and advisory services, securities
underwriting and trading, private placements, asset securitizations and merger and acquisition advisory
services.
PNC Insurance Services, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Wealth Management and a licensed
insurance agency. It provides a variety of insurance products and advice.
Selected conflicts of interest that exist between PNC Wealth Management and its affiliates are discussed below.
Although PNC Wealth Management is committed to acting in the best interests of our clients, in some situations
there are conflicts of interest between the firm’s interests and a client’s interests, or there are conflicts in the
interests of multiple clients. Many of these conflicts of interest are inherent in operating an investment advisory
business. For example, PNC Wealth Management may have an incentive to resolve a matter in favor of clients
that are affiliates of the firm over clients that are not affiliates of the firm. PNC Wealth Management has
adopted policies and procedures that it believes are reasonably designed to help mitigate these conflicts of
interest.
Affiliates of PNC Wealth Management provide advice to their clients with respect to investment strategies that
Capital Directions Program
October 17, 2025
Page 34 of 36
are similar to or the same as strategies offered by PNC Wealth Management. Those advisory affiliates may
purchase on behalf of their clients the same securities that PNC Wealth Management may purchase for our
clients. As a result, the interests of PNC Wealth Management’ clients may conflict with the interests of the
clients of these affiliated advisors. For example, if an investment advisor affiliate implements a portfolio
management decision for its client ahead of, or contemporaneously with, a decision PNC Wealth Management
makes for its client(s), the market impact of the decision made by the firm’s advisory affiliate could result in one
or more of PNC Wealth Management’ clients receiving less favorable trading results than they otherwise would.
PNC Wealth Management’ trade allocation and trade aggregation procedures do not typically apply to portfolio
management decisions and trading executed by investment advisory affiliates for their clients that are not
clients of PNC Wealth Management.
Affiliate Transactions
PNC Wealth Management or its affiliates may from time‐to‐time recommend investments in transactions in
which PNC Wealth Management or its affiliates act as financial advisor or a broker‐dealer, or in securities which
are underwritten, issued, packaged or serviced by an affiliate.
Moreover, PNC Wealth Management may act as a broker in executing your purchase or sale for your account of
a debt security from or to PNC Capital Markets, a brokerage affiliate. Additionally, your Financial Advisor may
recommend you purchase a mutual fund advised by PNC Capital Advisors, an affiliated registered investment
adviser. These affiliates receive compensation as a result of these transactions, if these transactions were to
occur.
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
PNC Wealth Management has adopted a Code of Ethics, which consists of certain general principles, including
the following:
Advisory personnel must place client interests before their own
The personal securities transactions of our personnel must avoid even the appearance of a conflict with
client interests
Our personnel must avoid actions or activities that allow, or appear to allow, them to profit or benefit
from their position with respect to clients, or that would otherwise bring into question their
independence or judgment
From time‐to‐time, PNC Wealth Management personnel may accept training, business entertainment or
gifts of de minimis value from product vendors. PNC Wealth Management has adopted policies and
procedures reasonably designed to ensure any such activity does not impact our personnel’s ability to
act in the best interests of our clients
In addition, the Code of Ethics requires our employees to report their personal securities transactions
and holdings. A copy of our Code of Ethics will be provided to any client or prospective client upon
request.
Our employees are also subject to the PNC Employee Conduct Policies, which cover matters including
compliance with law, conflicts of interest, insider trading, outside activities and safeguarding confidential
information.

As part of the Capital Directions Program, we will provide periodic reports to assist you in monitoring and
assessing the performance of your Account. These reports will contain information regarding trades, investment
return, and selected benchmark comparisons. These reports may also contain letters, notices and other
important information regarding the Model Managers and any changes to the Account during the period.
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Your Financial Advisor may refer you to PNC Bank or other PNC Wealth Management affiliates for additional
products or services and will generally receive compensation for such referrals.
A portion of the fees charged for the Capital Directions Program services described in this Brochure are paid to
your Financial Advisor in connection with the introduction of Accounts as well as for providing client‐related
services within the Programs. This compensation may be more or less than a Financial Advisor would receive if
you paid separately for investment advice, brokerage and/or other services.
Certain employees of PNC Bank’s Wealth Management and or Private Client Group receive compensation in
connection with referrals to PNC Wealth Management.
PNC Wealth Management has related persons who are investment advisors who act as general partners in
partnerships in which our clients may be solicited. PNC Wealth Management would not have knowledge of such
solicitations should they occur, and consequently, would not be a participant in them, nor would we receive any
compensation for them.
Financial Information
In certain circumstances, PNC Wealth Management would be required to provide you with financial information
or disclosures about our financial condition. Currently, no such circumstances exist for PNC Wealth
Management. PNC Wealth Management has no financial commitments that impair our ability to meet our
contractual and fiduciary commitments to our clients and has never been the subject of a bankruptcy
proceeding.
