If you retain our firm for portfolio management services, we will meet with you to determine
Proaltus USA Inc.
COB.4.0 (Page 5 of 27)
your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and other relevant information (the "suitability
information") at the beginning of our advisory relationship. We will use the suitability
information we gather from our initial meeting to select a model portfolio(s) in which you will
be invested. In some cases, we may modify the model portfolio for particular clients based on
the client's individual needs, financial objectives and risk tolerance.
Once we select a model portfolio(s) for you, we will monitor your portfolio's performance on an
ongoing basis and will rebalance the portfolio as required by changes in the model, market
conditions and in your financial circumstances.
The advisor's primary approach is to use a tactical allocation strategy aimed at reducing risk and
increasing performance. The advisor uses exchange listed securities, over-the-counter securities,
foreign securities, corporate debt securities, CDs, variable life insurance, mutual funds, United
States government securities, options in securities and commodities, futures contracts on
tangibles to accomplish this objective and other alternative investment solutions. The advisor
measures and selects investments by using various qualitative and quantitative criteria, such as
the fund manager's tenure, and/or overall career performance. The advisor may recommend,
on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio in an effort to reduce
risk and increase performance. The advisor may recommend specific stocks to increase sector
weighting and /or dividend potential. The advisor may recommend employing cash positions as
a possible hedge against market movement which may adversely affect the portfolio. The advisor
may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting
capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities,
overvaluation or overweighting of the position(s) in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of
client, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the client's risk tolerance. Proaltus will provide
investment advisory services and portfolio management services and will not provide securities
custodial or other administrative services. At no time will Proaltus accept or maintain custody of
a client's funds or securities.
Proaltus may periodically recommend and refer clients to unaffiliated money managers or
investment advisors. Through this arrangement, the Client will then enter into an advisory
agreement with the third-party money manager authorizing them to assist and advise the client in
establishing investment objectives and develop an investment strategy to meet those objectives
by identifying appropriate investments and monitoring such investments. In consideration for
such, the third-party money manager will receive an investment advisory fee, billed quarterly in
advance and based on the account asset value at the time the account is established. Proaltus will
receive a portion of the investment advisory fee for the solicitation and referral of the client to
the third-party manager and may assist the client in completing their client questionnaire and
account opening paperwork. Proaltus may also assist in the development of the initial policy
recommendations and managing the ongoing client relationship. The Client, prior to entering into
Proaltus USA Inc.
COB.4.0 (Page 6 of 27)
an agreement with a third-party money manager selected by Proaltus, will be provided with that
manager's Form ADV Part II and Schedule F (or a brochure that makes the appropriate
disclosures). In addition, Proaltus and its Client will agree in writing that the Client's account will
be managed by that selected third party money manager on a discretionary basis.
including

and guidance as to the actions and investment strategies necessary to attain the selected goals
and objectives. While such investment advisory consulting services do not include discretionary
authority with respect to investing the client’s assets, they typically include (i) the ongoing
responsibility to select and/or make investment recommendations, based on the needs of the
client, as to specific securities or investments the client may purchase or sell, and (ii) if such
recommendations are accepted by the client, responsibility for arranging or effecting the
purchase or sale, together with authorization to select the brokers for execution of securities
transactions and place orders for the execution of such transactions, unless otherwise indicated
in writing. All guidance and investment advice are based upon the information provided by the
client.
Offshore Fund Distribution:
Proaltus USA Inc., has entered into a distribution agreement with iCapital Advisors, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (“iCapital”), on behalf of Blackstone Private Credit Fund
iCapital Offshore Access Fund SPC (the “Fund”). The Fund is registered as a private fund pursuant
to section 5(1) of the Private Funds Act of the Cayman Islands. Proaltus may, as part the
investment advisory services it provides generally its clients, provide them with information
regarding an investment opportunity in the Fund, provided that each client (and potential
investor) meets the applicable suitability and other requirements, including those established by
iCapital. Proaltus does not receive any fees or other consideration from iCapital, the Fund, their
respective affiliates or any other person or entity in connection with the recommendation of an
investment in the Fund to its clients (other than the advisory fees paid directly by its clients to
the Proaltus). In those cases where Proaltus has discretion over the Client’s accounts, it may
decide to invest all or part of the client’s assets in the Fund.

Wrap Fee Programs
Wrap Fee Programs are arrangements between broker-dealers, investment advisers, banks, and
other financial institutions and affiliated and unaffiliated investment advisers through which
Proaltus USA Inc.
COB.4.0 (Page 8 of 27)
clients of such firms receive discretionary investment advisory, execution, clearing, and custodial
services in a “bundled” form. In exchange for these “bundled” services, clients pay an all-
inclusive (or “wrap”) fee determined as a percentage of the assets held in the wrap account.
Proaltus offers a Wrap Fee Program which provides clients participating in the program our
advisory services for a single fee that includes administrative fees, custody fees, management
fees, and brokerage commissions. Transactions in the wrap fee program accounts are executed
through Interactive Brokers, LLC, ("Interactive") the “Custodian(s"). The custodians are securities
broker-dealers and members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the
Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). Proaltus has elected to charge commissions
as well as minimum monthly fees, market data and research fees to its own Master account with
Interactive Brokers LLC instead of to their client accounts. More information regarding the wrap
fee program may be found in the firm's Part 2A, Appendix 1.

ITEM V - FEES AND COMPENSATION
Asset Management Fees
Pursuant to an investment advisory contract signed by each client, the client pays an Advisory
Fee, generally payable in arrears, on a monthly or quarterly basis, based on the net asset value
of the assets managed by the advisor as of the end of business on the last business day of the
current quarter. The first payment is pro-rated based on the number of days that the Agreement
is effective for the first calendar quarter.
Fee Schedule
Annual Fee:
Minimum Annual Fee:
From 0.20% to 2% per year of AUMs
$10,000.00 per year
Fees are billed at the end of each period.
These fees may be negotiated by the advisor under unusual circumstances, at the sole discretion
of the advisor. Asset management fees will be automatically deducted from the client account
Proaltus USA Inc.
COB.4.0 (Page 9 of 27)
on a quarterly basis by the custodian, except for those accounts with a Performance Fee
Agreement.1
These fees and expenses are described in each funds or individual positions or variable product's
prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, a
performance fee and a possible distribution fee. If the sponsor also imposes sales charges,
a client may pay an initial or deferred sale or surrender charge. A client could invest in these
products directly, without the services of the Firm. In that case, the client would not receive the
services provided by the Firm which are designed, among other things, to assist the client in
determining which products or services are most appropriate to each client's financial condition
and objectives. Accordingly, the client should review both the fees charged by the product
sponsor and the fees charged by the Firm to fully understand the total fees to be paid.
Consulting Fees
The Firm may also provide certain specified services for a fixed, non-asset-based fee, which will
be negotiated with the clients and depends on a variety of factors. All fees will be governed by
the Agreements. The fees that our clients will pay us are provided for in the investment
management agreements (“Agreements”) that the clients execute with us. All such fees,
including asset-based fees and such fixed, non-asset-based fees, typically are paid quarterly in
arrears. The client shall instruct the custodian of its accounts to debit the accounts to pay the
advisory fees each quarter. Clients may negotiate the fees they agree to pay.
The current rate for Hourly Fees is $750.00 / Hr.
Performance Fees
Qualified investors, as defined by Rule 205-3 of the Investment Adviser’s Act, may enter into
advisory agreements where the Firm is entitled to a performance fee as part or all of its
compensation. Qualified investors must meet the following requirements: (a) have at least
$1,000,000 in under management with the adviser; or (b) have a net worth of at least $2,200,000
in order to enter into performance-based compensation agreements with Proaltus. Pursuant to
the rule, in calculating a natural person’s net worth: (a) the person’s primary residence will not
be included as an asset; (b) indebtedness that is secured by the person’s primary residence (e.g.,
a mortgage), up to the estimated fair market value of the primary residence at the time the
advisory contract is entered into, will not be subtracted as a liability; and (c) indebtedness that
is secured by the person’s primary residence in excess of the estimated fair market value of the
primary residence at the time the advisory contract is entered into will be subtracted as a
liability. Suitability will be determined through the use of a detailed suitability questionnaire and
1 1 Clients with a Performance Fee Agreement are invoiced in arrears and may or may not authorize their custodian to a
automatically deduct performance / management fees from the account(s).
Proaltus USA Inc.
COB.4.0 (Page 10 of 27)
follow up due diligence inquiries. The Firm, at its sole discretion, may reject any client application
where the above financial standards are not met and/or where it reasonably believes the
investor lacks the necessary financial sophistication, who purport to not fully understand the
Firm’s method of compensation and the nature of its risks, or who are otherwise deemed to be
unsuitable for such an arrangement.
Fixed Fees
In certain cases, at the request of the Client, the Adviser may charge an Annual Flat Fee for
advisory services.
Flat/Fixed Fee services are negotiated with the client before the execution of the agreement
and are based, in the case of specific projects, on the scope of each project.
Minimum Annual Flat Fee for Advisory Services: $10,000.00*
*Negotiable
Additional Fee Information
Clients may authorize the Adviser to directly debit management fees from client accounts on a
quarterly basis. In such instances, management fees are prorated for each contribution and
withdrawal made during the applicable calendar quarter. Accounts initiated or terminated
during a calendar quarter will be charged a prorated fee. No prepaid fees are charged six months
or more in advance.
Alternatively, in some instances, clients may receive an invoice for fees, in which it may choose
to pay Proaltus directly for its billed fees for the relevant period.
Adviser’s fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs
and expenses which shall be incurred directly by the client. Clients may incur certain charges
imposed by custodians, brokers, and other third parties such as fees charged by fund managers,
custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and
electronic funds fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions.
Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are
disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. It is the Adviser’s policy not to accept “kickbacks” or
retrocession fees from any third non-affiliated party providing services to the Adviser’s clients;
however, Adviser’s related persons, including dually registered employees, may receive a
portion of these commissions, fees and costs.
In such cases where the Firm receives a “kick-back”, on a best effort basis, the Firm will retrocede
the amount, minus any administrative costs, to the client. The firm will always disclose to the
Proaltus USA Inc.
COB.4.0 (Page 11 of 27)
client clearly and transparently of any such cases where there are “kickbacks”.
ITEM VI- PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
In addition to the Management Fee, the Firm may receive a Performance Fee based upon any
gains obtained in the client’s account for the quarter. This fee will be a percentage of any gains
in the client account during that period, to be determined with each specific client but never
surpass 20% of the performance per quarter.
Accounts with a Portfolio Management Agreement that includes Performance Fees are charged
Advisory Fees in Arrears on a quarterly basis.
Clients that are paying a performance-based fee should be aware that investment advisors have
an incentive to invest in riskier investments when paid a performance-based fee due to the
higher risk/higher reward attributes.
Advice may be provided on assets held offshore.
ITEM VII - TYPES OF CLIENTS
Most of the Proaltus’ clients are wealthy individuals and families. The Firm also provides
Advisory and Sub-Advisory services to private funds (portfolio), both domestic (incorporated in
Delaware) and offshore, incorporated as a segregated portfolio company with limited liability
in the Cayman Islands and registered as a regulated mutual fund under the Mutual
Funds Law (2020 Revision) of the Cayman.
Proaltus’ cumulative minimum account is $500,000. However, based on facts and circumstances
Proaltus may, at its sole discretion, accept accounts with a lower value.
ITEM VIII - METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS
Proaltus’ approach is to use a tactical allocation strategy aimed at reducing risk and increasing
performance. The advisor uses exchange listed securities, over-the-counter securities, foreign
securities, corporate debt securities, CDs, variable life insurance, mutual funds, United States
government securities, options in securities and commodities, futures contracts on tangibles and
other alternative investments to accomplish this objective.
The advisor measures and selects mutual funds and other investments in general by using
various quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as the fund manager's tenure, and/or overall
career performance. The advisor may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment
allocations to diversify the portfolio in an effort to reduce risk and increase performance. The
advisor may recommend specific stocks to increase sector weighting and/or dividend potential.
Proaltus USA Inc.
COB.4.0 (Page 12 of 27)
The advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market
movement which may adversely affect the portfolio.
The advisor may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to,
harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class
of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position(s) in the portfolio, change in risk
tolerance of client, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the client's risk tolerance.
There is a substantial risk of loss in trading in securities and other financial instruments. Past
results are no guarantee of future performance. You should carefully consider whether trading
is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources and other
relevant circumstances. Trading in futures and options is not suitable for many members of the
public.
Hedging transactions may increase risks of capital losses
Adviser utilizes hedging strategies primarily to protect and preserve capital as well as yield
enhancement. Investment products in which Adviser invests clients’ accounts may utilize a
variety of financial instruments, such as options, for risk management purposes. While hedging
transactions may seek to reduce risk, such transactions may result in worse overall
performance. Certain risks cannot be hedged, such as credit risk, relating both to particular
securities and counterparties. Adviser will not always invest in funds or other investment
vehicles that utilize hedging strategies.
Leverage
Adviser does not utilize leverage under its current strategies. Proaltus, however, reserves the
right to engage in leveraged strategies, with the prior authorization of the Client.
Liquidity of investment portfolio
The market for some securities in which Adviser invests indirectly on behalf of its clients may be
relatively illiquid. Liquidity relates to the ability to sell an investment in a timely manner. The
market for relatively illiquid securities tends to be more volatile than the market for more liquid
securities. Investments in relatively illiquid securities may restrict the ability of a fund or
portfolio manager to dispose of investments at a price and time that it wishes to do so. The risk
of illiquidity also arises in the case of over-the-counter transactions. There is no regulated
market in such contracts and the bid and offer prices will be established solely by dealers in
these contracts. Client accounts that are invested in funds or other instruments that contain
illiquid investments may be subject to these risks.
Foreign currency markets
Adviser’s investment strategies may cause a client to be exposed to fluctuations in currency
Proaltus USA Inc.
COB.4.0 (Page 13 of 27)
exchange rates where it invests directly or indirectly in securities denominated in currencies
other than U.S. dollars. Adviser may from time-to-time engage in direct foreign currency
transactions. However, the underlying funds and other investment vehicles may engage in
direct foreign currency trading. The markets in which foreign exchange transactions are
effected are highly volatile, highly specialized and highly technical. Significant changes, including
changes in liquidity and prices, can occur in such markets within very short periods of time,
often within minutes. Foreign exchange trading risks include, but are not limited to, exchange
rate risk, interest rate risk and potential interference by foreign governments through
regulation of local exchange markets, foreign investment, or particular transactions in foreign
currency.
Derivatives
Adviser’s investment strategy may cause a client to be exposed to derivatives including
instruments and contracts the value of which is linked to one or more underlying securities,
financial benchmarks or indices. Derivatives allow an investor to hedge or speculate upon the
price movements of a particular security, financial benchmark, index, currency or interest rate
at a fraction of the cost of investing in the underlying asset. The value of a derivative depends
largely upon price movements in the underlying asset. Therefore, many of the risks applicable
to trading the underlying asset are also applicable to derivatives trading. However, there are a
number of other risks associated with derivatives trading. For example, because many
derivatives provide significantly more market exposure than the money paid or deposited when
the transaction is entered into, a relatively small adverse market movement can result not only
in the loss of the entire investment but may also expose a client to the possibility of a loss
exceeding the original amount invested.
Settlement risks
Adviser’s investment strategies may expose a client to the credit risk of parties with whom
Adviser, on behalf of the client or the underlying funds, trades and to the risk of settlement
default. Market practices in the emerging markets in relation to the settlement of securities
transactions and custody of assets will provide increased risk. Although the emerging markets
have grown rapidly over the last few years, the clearing, settlement and registration systems
available to affect trades on such markets are significantly less developed than those in more
mature world markets which can result in delays and other material difficulties in settling trades
and in registering transfers of securities. Problems of settlement in these markets may affect
the net asset value and liquidity of a client’s portfolio or investments in such portfolios.
Emerging Markets
Adviser’s investment strategies include direct and indirect investments in securities in emerging
markets and such investments involve special considerations and risks. These include a
possibility of nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, foreign exchange control,
Proaltus USA Inc.
COB.4.0 (Page 14 of 27)
political changes, government regulation, social instability or diplomatic developments which
could affect adversely the economies of such countries or the value of a client’s investments,
and the risks of investing in countries with smaller capital markets, such as limited liquidity,
price volatility, restrictions on foreign investment and repatriation of capital, and the risks
associated with emerging economies, including high inflation and interest rates and political
and social uncertainties. In addition, it may be difficult to obtain and enforce a judgment in a
court in an emerging country. The economies of many emerging market countries are still in the
early stages of modern development and are subject to abrupt and unexpected change. In many
cases, governments retain a high degree of direct control over the economy and may take
actions that have sudden and widespread effects. Investments in products of emerging market
may also become illiquid which may constrain Adviser’s ability to realize some or all of a client’s
portfolio holdings. Accounting standards in emerging market countries may not be as stringent
as accounting standards in developed countries.
Investment Concentration
Some client accounts may have a high concentration in one sector, industry, issuer or security
that may subject such accounts to greater risk of loss in the event such investments take an
economic downturn.
Material Risks for Particular Types of Securities
The Adviser does not invest in specific security or product type. The material risks involved with
investing are described above.
Risk of Loss
PLEASE NOTE THAT INVESTING IN SECURITIES INVOLVES A RISK OF LOSS THAT YOU, AS A
CLIENT, SHOULD BE PREPARED TO BEAR.
ITEM IX - DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION

by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), the State of Florida or any other regulatory

manner that avoids any actual or potential conflict of interest between such persons and clients

securities transactions effected by Access Persons. These records are reviewed to identify and
resolve potential conflicts of interest. Proaltus maintains a code of ethics and they will provide a

US (US investors).
ITEM XII - BROKERAGE PRACTICES
Best Execution: As an investment advisory firm, the Firm has a fiduciary duty to seek best
execution for client transactions. While best execution is difficult to define and challenging to
measure, there is some consensus that it does not solely mean the achievement of the best price
on a given transaction. Rather, it appears to be a collective consideration of factors concerning
the trade in question. Such factors include the security being traded, the price of the trade, the
speed of the execution, apparent conditions in the market, and the specific needs of the client.
The Firm may not necessarily pay the lowest commission or commission equivalent as specific
transactions may involve specialized services on the part of the broker.
This would justify higher commissions (or their equivalent) than other transactions requiring
routine services. If the Firm is directed by the client to direct trades to a specific broker dealer
other than the custodian typically used for trade execution, it is disclosed that the Firm’s ability
to negotiate commissions (where applicable), obtain volume discounts, or otherwise obtain best
execution may not be as favorable as might otherwise be obtained.
Order Aggregation: The Firm may combine orders into block trades when more than one account
is participating in the trade. This blocking or bunching technique must be equitable and
potentially advantageous for each such account (e.g. for the purposes of reducing brokerage
commissions or obtaining a more favorable execution price). Block trading is performed when it
is consistent with the duty to seek best execution and is consistent with the terms of the Firm's
investment advisory agreements. Equity trades are blocked based upon fairness to client, both
in the participation of their account, and in the allocation of orders for the accounts of more
than one client. Allocations of all orders are performed in a timely and efficient manner. All
managed accounts participating in a block execution receive the same execution price (average
share price) for the securities purchased or sold in a trading day. Any portion of an order that
remains unfilled at the end of a given day will be rewritten on the following day as a new order
with a new daily average price to be determined at the end of the following day. Due to the low
liquidity of certain securities, broker availability may be limited. Open orders are worked until
they are completely filled, which may span the course of several days. If an order is filled in its
entirety, securities purchased in the aggregated transaction will be allocated among the accounts
participating in the trade in accordance with the allocation statement. If an order is partially filled,
the securities will be allocated pro rata based on the allocation statement. The Firm may allocate
trades in a different manner than indicated on the allocation statement (non-pro rata) only if all
managed accounts receive fair and equitable treatment.
The Firm may recommend brokers to clients for execution and/or custodial services were
requested by the client. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended broker and will not
Proaltus USA Inc.
COB.4.0 (Page 17 of 27)
incur any extra fee or cost associated with using a broker not recommended by the Firm. Proaltus
may recommend brokers based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness of
commissions charged to the client, services made available to the client, and location of broker
offices. The Firm is not compensated in any way with respect to making such recommendations.
The Firm does not receive research services, other products, or compensation as a result of
recommending a particular broker which may result in the client paying higher commissions than
those obtainable through other brokers.
Proaltus never discloses the nonpublic personal information collected about its clients to anyone
except in furtherance of our business relationship, and then only to those persons necessary to
effect the transactions and provide the services that Client authorize (such as broker-dealers,
custodians, investment managers etc.) or as otherwise provided by law.
Proaltus’ Business Continuity Plan Disclosure Document will be available to the Clients through
our web site at www.proaltus.us and a copy will be offered at the time of account opening as
well as when material changes to the plan occur. A copy of this document may be obtained at
any time upon request.
ITEM XIII - REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Accounts are monitored on an ongoing basis. The Portfolio Manager will review client accounts.
The triggering factors would be the Firm becomes aware of a change in client's investment
objective, a change in market conditions, change of employment, re-balancing of assets to
maintain proper asset allocation and any other activity that is discovered as the account is
reviewed. The client will receive written statements no less than quarterly from the trustee or
custodian. In addition, the client will receive other supporting reports from Mutual Funds, Asset
Managers, Trust Companies or Custodians, Insurance Companies, Broker/Dealers and others
who are involved with client accounts.
The client is encouraged to notify the Advisor and Investment Advisor Representative if changes
occur in his/her personal financial situation that might adversely affect his/her investment plan.
Accounts are re-balanced on a quarterly basis and re-optimized when deemed necessary by the
Advisor or by third-party money manager for those participating in the Asset Management
Program. Re-balancing is accomplished by reallocating assets to original asset targets and re-
optimizing involves setting new target asset category percentages.
ITEM XIV - CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
Proaltus, from time to time, receives client referrals, and such referrals often come from current
Proaltus USA Inc.
COB.4.0 (Page 18 of 27)
clients, attorneys, accountants, employees, personal friends of employees and other similar
sources.
The Adviser has entered into agreement whereby a party unaffiliated with the Adviser is entitled
to compensation in the event that such party solicits prospective clients who become Adviser’s
clients. Pursuant to the Agreement, the solicitor will provide each prospective client with a copy
of the Adviser’s Form ADV Part 2A and a disclosure document setting forth the terms of the
solicitation agreement, including the nature of the relationship between the solicitor and the
Adviser and any fees to be paid to the solicitor. Where applicable, cash payments for client
solicitations will be structure to comply fully with the requirements of Rule 206(4)-3 under the
Advisers Act.
Proaltus currently maintains one Client Referral Agreement.
ITEM XV - CUSTODY
The Firm provides investment advisory services and portfolio management services and does not
provide securities custodial or other administrative services. Aside from debiting fees from its
clients' accounts to pay for services rendered, Proaltus does not maintain custody of its individual
clients’ funds.
We are under common ownership with the Managing Member and or General Partner of the
affiliated Private Funds we manage, including DCP Fund Strategies SPC, Proaltus Investment
Opportunities Fund LP - Multi Asset Global Allocation, Proaltus Private Markets Fund LP -
Interaltus US Real Estate Opportunities Fund, and Proaltus Private Markets Fund LP - Skypointer
Ventures Fund I, as discussed above. As a result of these relationships, our firm and/or our
associated persons will have access to invested funds and securities, and as such we are deemed
to have custody over DCP Fund Strategies SPC’s assets. We will provide each investor in the
different funds with annual audited financial statements of the fund.
All assets are typically held at qualified custodians, including but not limited to Interactive
Brokers; the custodians provide account statements directly to clients at their address of record
at least quarterly. You, as a client, should review those statements carefully and compare them
to any report received from us. Please let us know of any discrepancies.
ITEM XVI - INVESTMENT DISCRETION
The Firm could have discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold
in client accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the client. However, these
purchases or sales may be subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations
previously set forth by the client and agreed to by the Firm.
Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the client. The granting of
such authority will be evidenced by the client's execution of an Investment Advisory Agreement
Proaltus USA Inc.
COB.4.0 (Page 19 of 27)
containing all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made will be
in accordance with each client's investment objectives and goals.
ITEM XVII - VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
The Firm will not vote, nor advise clients how to vote, proxies for securities held in client
accounts. The client clearly keeps the authority and responsibility for the voting of these proxies.
Also, the Firm cannot give any advice or take any action with respect to the voting of these
proxies. The client and the Firm agree to this by contract. For accounts subject to the provisions
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), the plan fiduciary specifically
keeps the authority and responsibility for the voting of any proxies for securities held in plan
accounts. Also, the Firm cannot give any advice or take action with respect to the voting of these
proxies.
ITEM XVIII - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Proaltus does not maintain any impairments or financial obligations that might prevent it
from meeting any contractual obligation to its clients.
