Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
PW Advisors, LLC dba Proper Wealth (“Proper Wealth” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor was organized as a Limited Liability Company
(“LLC”) under the laws of the Florida in April 2025 and became a registered investment advisor in July 2025. Proper
Wealth is owned and operated by Nicholas C. Chason, CExP™ (Partner, Financial Advisor and Chief Compliance
Officer). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the
advisory services provided by Proper Wealth.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Proper Wealth offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
businesses, and retirement plans (each referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary,
the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. Proper Wealth’ fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For
more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in
Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Investment Management Services
Proper Wealth provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through
continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and
related advisory services. Proper Wealth works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and
objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy.
Proper Wealth will then construct an investment portfolio, consisting primarily of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)
and/or diversified mutual funds to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize individual
stocks, individual bonds, Independent Managers (See below) and/or other types of investment, as appropriate to
meet the needs of the Client. The Advisor may retain other types of investments from the Client’s legacy portfolio
due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as identified between the Advisor
and the Client.
Proper Wealth’ investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate
positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market
conditions. Proper Wealth will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals,
objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place
reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by
the Advisor.
Proper Wealth evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. Proper Wealth may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify
the portfolio. Proper Wealth may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The
Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement.
Proper Wealth offers the Black Diamond reporting service to clients with an account value over $150,000, which
includes batch trading and auto-rebalancing features.
Proper Wealth may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital
gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or
overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet
Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.

At no time will Proper Wealth accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited
authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the
Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Independent Managers – Proper Wealth will recommend that Clients utilize one or more unaffiliated investment
managers or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a portion of a Client’s investment
portfolio, based on the Client’s needs and objectives. In certain instances, the Client may be required to authorize
and enter into an investment management agreement with the Independent Manager[s] that defines the terms in
which the Independent Manager[s] will provide its services. The Advisor will perform initial and ongoing oversight
and due diligence over each Independent Manager to ensure the strategy remains aligned with Clients investment
objectives and overall best interests. The Advisor will also assist the Client in the development of the initial policy
recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. The Client, prior to entering into an agreement
with an Independent Manager, will be provided with the Independent Manager's Form ADV Part 2A - Disclosure
Brochure (or a brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures).
Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement
accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will
provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the
assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to
another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account
to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or
increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a
retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
Financial Planning Services
Proper Wealth will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients, as part of its
investment management services. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending
on their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan
or rendering a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or
consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, personal
savings, education savings, insurance needs, and other areas of a Client’s financial situation. The Advisor also
provides planning services for business owners.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs. The Advisor does not provide
legal, tax, or accounting advice. While we may discuss financial issues that have legal, tax, or accounting
implications, the Client should not construe any discussion as legal, tax, or accounting advice. Clients are
encouraged to consult with qualified professionals in those areas for advice specific to your situation.
Proper Wealth may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique
situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s
financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may
not provide a written summary.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for
investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would
increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any
recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to
act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the
transaction through the Advisor.

Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Proper Wealth provides 3(21) retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans (each a “Plan”)
and the company (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the
Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Each engagement is
customized to the needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services generally include:
• Investment Management
• Performance Reporting
• Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
• Benchmarking Services
These services are provided by Proper Wealth serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2), the
Plan Sponsor is provided with a written description of Proper Wealth’ fiduciary status, the specific services to be
rendered and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement.
Other Services
As part of our advisory services, Advisory Persons may also recommend insurance products, where appropriate for
the Client. If the Client chooses to accept our recommendation and purchase insurance through an affiliate of the
Advisor, the Advisory Person and the affiliated entity will receive usual and customary commissions on those
transactions (Please see Item 5, below).
Proper Wealth also has an affiliate that is an accounting firm. Clients are not required to use the services of our
affiliates even if we recommend them. Advisory Persons will only recommend our affiliated entities if we believe that
working with our affiliates is in the Client’s best interest.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Proper Wealth to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into an
advisory agreement with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor
and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – Proper Wealth, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy
that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Proper Wealth will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – Proper Wealth will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the
stated goals and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – Proper Wealth will provide investment management and
ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Proper Wealth includes securities transaction fees together with its investment management fees, when applicable.
Including these fees into a single asset-based fee is considered a “Wrap Fee Program”. The Advisor customizes its
investment management services for its Clients. The Advisor sponsors the Proper Wealth Wrap Fee Program
solely as a supplemental disclosure regarding the combination of fees. Please see Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee
Program Brochure, which is included as a supplement to this Disclosure Brochure.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, Proper Wealth manages $131,822,610 in Client assets, all of which are managed on a
discretionary basis. Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into a written
advisory agreement with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Investment Management Services
Investment management fees are paid quarterly, advance of each calendar quarter pursuant to the terms of the
investment management agreement. Investment management fees are based on the market value of assets under
management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Investment management fees are charged an annual rate
ranging from 0.50% to 1.60% based on several factors, including: the scope and complexity of the services to be
provided; the level of assets to be managed; and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple
objectives, specific reporting requirements, portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee.
Clients may be offered a tiered fee schedule or single fixed rate across all accounts.
The investment management fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to
the end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into
consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by
Proper Wealth will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the
Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and other
related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor
shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Independent Managers
As noted in Item 4, the Advisor may implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio utilizing one or more
Independent Managers. To eliminate any conflict of interest, the Advisor does not earn any compensation from an
Independent Manager. The Advisor will only earn its investment management fee as described above. The Advisor
will allocate a portion of the advisory fee collected to the Independent Manager pursuant to the terms of the
executed agreement between the Advisor and the Independent Manager. The total blended fee, including the
Advisor’s fee and the Independent Manager’s fee, will not exceed 2.00% annually.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual asset-based fee of up to 1.00% and are billed in
advance, pursuant to the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement. Retirement plan fees are based on the
market value of assets under management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Fees may be negotiable
depending on the size and complexity of the Plan.
Financial Planning Services
Proper Wealth offers financial planning services through a fixed project-based engagement. Fixed fees range up to
$500 to $50,000 for financial planning and consulting engagements. Financial plans for individuals and families will
generally be at the lower end of the above fee range. Complex situations and business planning Clients may be
charged fees on the higher end of the above fee range. Fees are negotiable. An estimate for total costs will be
provided to the Client prior to engaging for these services.
B. Fee Billing
Investment Management Services
Investment management fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s]
at the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted
from the Client’s account[s] at the beginning of the respective quarter. The amount due is calculated by applying the
daily rate (annual rate divided by the number of days in the year times the number of days in the quarterly billing
period) to the total assets under management with the Advisor at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be
provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the investment management
PW Advisors, LLC dba Proper Wealth
3233 Thomasville Road, Tallahassee, FL 32308
Phone: (850) 972-9725 | Website: https://pwadvisors.com
Page 7
fee. In addition, the Advisor will provide the Client a report itemizing the fee, including the calculation period covered
by the fee, the account value and the methodology used to calculate the fee. Clients are urged to also review and
compare the statement provided by the Advisor to the brokerage statement from the Custodian, as the Custodian
does not perform a verification of fees. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by
Proper Wealth to be paid directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the investment management
agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian.
Independent Managers
For Client accounts implemented through an Independent Manager, the Client’s overall fees may include Proper
Wealth’s investment management fee (as noted above) plus investment management fees and/or platform fees
charged by the Independent Manager[s], as applicable. In certain instances, the Independent Manager or the
Advisor may assume responsibility for calculating the Client’s fees and deduct all fees from the Client’s account[s].
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement plan advisory fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the assets of the Plan,
depending on the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement.
Financial Planning Services
Fees for fixed fee financial planning engagements may be invoiced either monthly or quarterly in advance, pursuant to
the terms of the financial planning agreement. The Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for any
services that will be completed six (6) months or more in advance.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties in connection with investments made on behalf
of the Client’s account[s]. Proper Wealth includes securities transaction fees as part of its overall investment
management fee through the Proper Wealth Wrap Fee Program. Securities transaction fees for Client-directed
trades may be charged back to the Client. Please see Item 4.D. above as well as Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program
Brochure.
The Advisor's recommended Custodian may not charge securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in a
Client's account[s], provided that the account meets the terms and conditions of the Custodian's brokerage
requirements. The Custodian often charges for mutual funds and other types of investments, although the
Custodian may also offer certain mutual funds with no transaction fee. The fees charged by Proper Wealth are
separate and distinct from these custody and execution fees. The Advisor will seek to utilize the lowest cost product
that is available.
In addition, all fees paid to Proper Wealth for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the
expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are
described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for
the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a
possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of Proper
Wealth, but would not receive the services provided by Proper Wealth which are designed, among other things, to
assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial situation
and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by
Proper Wealth to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for
additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Investment Management Services
Proper Wealth may be compensated for its investment management services in advance of the quarter in which
services are rendered. Either party may terminate the investment management agreement, at any time, by providing
advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment management agreement
within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the
Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due
and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid investment management
PW Advisors, LLC dba Proper Wealth
3233 Thomasville Road, Tallahassee, FL 32308
Phone: (850) 972-9725 | Website: https://pwadvisors.com
Page 8
fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s investment management agreement
with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
In the event that the Advisor has determined that an Independent Manager is no longer in the Client’s best interest
or a Client should wish to terminate their relationship with the Independent Manager, the terms for the termination
will be set forth in the respective agreements between the Client or the Advisor and the Independent Manager.
Proper Wealth will assist the Client with the termination and transition as appropriate.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Proper Wealth is compensated for its services at the beginning of the quarter before advisory services are rendered.
Either party may request to terminate a retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance
notice to the other party. The Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid investment management fees from the
effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s retirement plan services agreement with the
Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Proper Wealth does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for
securities transactions in any Client account, other than the investment management fees noted above.
Certain Advisory Persons are also a Registered Representatives of LPL Financial LLC (“LPL Financial”), a a
registered broker-dealer (CRD# 6413), member FINRA, SIPC. In an Advisory Persons’s separate capacity as a
Registered Representative, the Advisory Person will implement securities transactions under LPL Financial and not
through Proper Wealth. In such instances, the Advisory Person will receive commission-based compensation in
connection with the purchase and sale of securities, including 12b-1 fees for the sale of investment company
products. Compensation earned by the Advisory Person in one’s capacity as a Registered Representative is
separate and in addition to the Advisor’s fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because the Advisory
Person who is a Registered Representative has an incentive to effect securities transactions for the purpose of
generating commissions rather than solely based on the Client. Clients are not obligated to implement any
recommendation provided by the Advisor nor Advisory Persons. Neither the Advisor nor Advisory Persons will earn
ongoing investment management fees in connection with any products or services implemented in the Advisory
Person’s separate capacity as a Registered Representative. Please see Item 10 below.
Certain Advisory Persons are also licensed as an independent insurance professionals through Proper Insurance
Advisors, LLC, an affiliated insurance agency. As an independent insurance professional, an Advisory Person and
Proper Insurance Advisors will earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including
insurance products sold sell to Clients. Insurance commissions earned by an Advisory Person in this separate
capacity are separate and in addition to our advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest there may be
an incentive to recommend insurance products to a Client for the purpose of generating commissions rather than
solely based on the Client’s needs. Clients are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase
insurance products through an Advisory Person of the Advisor. Please see Item 10 below.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Proper Wealth does not charge performance-based fees for its investment management services. The fees
charged by Proper Wealth are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the
funds or securities held by any Client. Proper Wealth does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited
partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any
particular investment options to its Clients.

Item 7 – Types of Clients
Proper Wealth offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
businesses, and retirement plans. Proper Wealth does not impose a minimum relationship size.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Proper Wealth primarily employs a fundamental and technical analysis methods in developing investment
strategies for its Clients. Research and analysis from Proper Wealth are derived from numerous sources, including
financial media companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities,
including annual reports, prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. This criterion
consists generally of ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being
analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment with
a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment,
it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in
the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors
these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the
Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in determining the
recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts to identify market patterns and
trends, which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. The primary risk
in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if
the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that Proper Wealth will be able to accurately predict such a
reoccurrence.
Asset Allocation determines an appropriate ratio of equities, fixed income, and cash suitable to each Client’s
investment goals and risk tolerance. Asset allocation does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in declining
markets.
As noted above, Proper Wealth generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with
their financial goals. Proper Wealth will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year, but may hold
for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times, Proper
Wealth may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client
and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Proper Wealth will assist Clients in determining an appropriate
strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a
Client will meet their investment goals.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the
investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may
lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to
determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are
included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client
PW Advisors, LLC dba Proper Wealth
3233 Thomasville Road, Tallahassee, FL 32308
Phone: (850) 972-9725 | Website: https://pwadvisors.com
Page 10
or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals or
other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts.
The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction
process.
Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk
based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a large bid-
ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may
dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased
or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.
There is also a risk that Authorized Participants are unable to fulfill their responsibilities. Authorized Participants are
one of the major parties involved with ETF creation/redemption mechanisms in the markets. The Authorized
Participants play a critical role in the liquidity of ETFs and essentially have the exclusive right to change the supply
of ETF shares in the market. If the Authorized Participants do not fulfill this expected role, there could be an
adverse impact on liquidity and the valuation of an ETF.
Equity Security Risks
The value of equity securities may fluctuate in response to specific situations for each company, industry
conditions, and/or the overall stock market. The volatility of a particular equity security may be higher than a mutual
fund or ETF that contains many underlying companies.
Fixed Income Security Risks
Fixed investments generally pay a return on a fixed schedule, though the amount of the payments can vary. They
can include corporate and government debt securities, leveraged loans, high-yield and investment-grade debt, and
structured products, such as mortgage and other asset-backed securities. Individual bonds may be the best-known
type of fixed-income security. In general, the fixed-income market is volatile, and fixed-income securities carry
interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more
pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed-income securities also carry inflation risk, liquidity risk, call risk, and
credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. The risk of default on treasury inflation-
protected/inflation-linked bonds is dependent upon the U.S. Treasury defaulting (extremely unlikely); however, they
carry a potential risk of losing share price value, albeit rather minimal.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the
mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual
fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same
price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Asset Allocation Risks
Asset allocation strategies may result in investments that are concentrated in certain asset classes, industries, or
geographic areas. Asset allocation strategies may also be diversified among different asset classes. Market
conditions may, at different times, be more favorable toward a concentrated or diversified asset allocation strategy.
PW Advisors, LLC dba Proper Wealth
3233 Thomasville Road, Tallahassee, FL 32308
Phone: (850) 972-9725 | Website: https://pwadvisors.com
Page 11
There is a risk that Clients will not be in a favorable asset allocation strategy at any given time. Asset allocation
strategies may change over time.
Cybersecurity Risks
As the use of technologies has become more common in conducting business, the Advisor and its service
providers may be more susceptible to operational, information security, and related risks in connection with
breaches in cybersecurity. Generally, a cybersecurity event may result from either intentional attacks or
unintentional events and include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems,
misappropriating assets or sensitive information, causing a client to lose proprietary information, corrupting data, or
causing operational disruption, including denial-of-service attacks on websites. A cybersecurity event could cause
the Advisor and/or its service providers to become subject to regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional
compliance costs associated with corrective measures, and/or financial losses.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve
a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss
these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving Proper Wealth or its owner. Proper Wealth
values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite due diligence
on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor or Advisory Persons
are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with
the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 336499.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Broker-Dealer Affiliation
As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are also Registered Representatives of LPL Financial. In an Advisory
Persons’s separate capacity as a Registered Representative, an Advisory Person will receive commissions for the
implementation of recommendations for commissionable transactions. Clients are not obligated to implement any
recommendation provided by an Advisory Person. Neither the Advisor nor its Advisory Persons will earn ongoing
investment management fees in connection with any services implemented in the Advisory Person’s separate
capacity as a Registered Representative.
Insurance Agency Affiliations
As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are also licensed insurance professionals through Proper Insurance
Advisors, LLC, an affiliated insurance agency. Implementations of insurance recommendations are separate and
apart from one’s role with Proper Wealth. As an insurance professional, an Advisory Person may receive customary
commissions and other related revenues from the various insurance companies whose products are sold. Advisory
Persons are not required to offer the products of any particular insurance company. Commissions generated by
insurance sales do not offset regular advisory fees. This may cause a conflict of interest in recommending certain
products of the insurance companies. Clients are under no obligation to implement any recommendations made by
an Advisory Person of Proper Wealth.
Affiliated Accounting Firm
Advisory Persons may also recommend the use of an affiliated accounting firm, Proper Accounting Advisors, LLC,
which provides financial analysis, bookkeeping, and consulting services for business owners. This is not a CPA firm
and does not provide tax preparation, audit or attestation services. If the Advisor’s Clients engage the accounting
firm, they will enter into a separate agreement and pay related fees directly to Proper Accounting Advisors. Proper
Wealth’s Clients are not under any obligation to use Proper Accounting Advisors’ services. No services from the
accounting affiliate are required or bundled, and no revenue sharing takes place.
These relationships or arrangements present a material conflict of interest with Clients as Advisory Persons have a
financial incentive to recommend the services of the above entities based on the compensation received rather
PW Advisors, LLC dba Proper Wealth
3233 Thomasville Road, Tallahassee, FL 32308
Phone: (850) 972-9725 | Website: https://pwadvisors.com
Page 12
than strictly on the Client’s needs. The Advisors mitigate this conflict by disclosing it and by ensuring our Advisory
Persons understand their fiduciary duty to act solely in the Client’s best interest. In addition, Clients are free to
reject our recommendations and are also free to implement our recommendations through other providers.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Proper Wealth has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to
each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with Proper Wealth (“Supervised Persons”). The Code
was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to each
Client. Proper Wealth and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each
Client. It is the obligation of Proper Wealth’ Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the
Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address
employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at (850) 972-
9725.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Proper Wealth allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. Proper Wealth does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the
Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. Proper Wealth does not
have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Proper Wealth allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients
presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and
procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public
information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When
trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The
fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more
advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is
mitigated by Proper Wealth requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review by
the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). The Advisor has also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the
misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While Proper Wealth allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended
to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded afterwards.
At no time will Proper Wealth, or any Supervised Person of Proper Wealth, transact in any security to the
detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Proper Wealth does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and
execution services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client
assets and authorize Proper Wealth to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed in the investment management
agreement and account forms provided by the Custodian. Further, Proper Wealth does not have the discretionary
authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of our Clients on a trade-by-trade basis. As its Advisory Persons are
also Registered Representatives of LPL Financial, Proper Wealth and its Advisory Persons must recommend LPL
Financial as the Custodian and recommend that Clients establish their accounts at LPL Financial, where Proper
Wealth has access to LPL Financial’s systems, back office support, research and other benefits. While Proper
Wealth receives these economic benefits from LPL Financial, we believe LPL Financial provides quality execution
and related services for our Clients at competitive prices. Price is not the sole factor Proper Wealth considers in
evaluating best execution and the recommendation of a custodian. Proper Wealth also considers the quality of the
PW Advisors, LLC dba Proper Wealth
3233 Thomasville Road, Tallahassee, FL 32308
Phone: (850) 972-9725 | Website: https://pwadvisors.com
Page 13
brokerage services provided by LPL Financial, including the firm's reputation, execution capabilities, commission
rates, and responsiveness to our Clients and our firm. Clients are free to use whatever broker-dealer/custodian they
choose to implement financial planning recommendations. For investment management services, Proper Wealth
would be required to obtain permission to use a broker-dealer or custodian other than LPL Financial due to the
oversight role LPL Financial assumes over the Advisory Persons. Please see Item 14.
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor
enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and
other services. Proper Wealth does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-
dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian. Please see Item 14
below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - Proper Wealth does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with
the recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where Proper Wealth will place
trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are
traded within their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any
security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a
security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). Proper Wealth will not be obligated to select
competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction
costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution,
4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. Proper Wealth will execute its transactions through the
Custodian as authorized by the Client. Proper Wealth may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when
securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading
day. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold
by the close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or
other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any
particular Clients’ accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Advisory Persons of the Advisor
and periodically by the CCO. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently
depending on the needs of the Client.
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result
of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or
withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify Proper Wealth if changes occur in the
Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews may
be triggered by material market, economic or political events.

Phone: (850) 972-9725 | Website: https://pwadvisors.com
Page 14
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the
Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may also
provide Clients with periodic adhoc reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by Proper Wealth
Proper Wealth may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g. attorneys, accountants,
estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients. Likewise, Proper
Wealth may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
Proper Wealth has established an institutional relationship with LPL Financial to assist the Advisor in managing Client
account[s]. Access to the LPL Financial platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor. The Advisor receives access
to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients
that maintain assets at LPL Financial. The software and related systems support may benefit the Advisor, but not its
Clients directly. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients
first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a Custodian creates a potential
conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's recommendation of this Custodian over one that
does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Transition Assistance – LPL Financial also provides benefits and/or payments to Proper Wealth to assist the costs
associated with transitioning their business to LPL Financial. (collectively referred to as “Transition Assistance”).
The proceeds of such Transition Assistance payments are intended to be used for a variety of purposes, including
but not necessarily limited to, providing working capital to assist in funding the Advisor’s business, offsetting
account transfer fees (“ACATs”) as a result of the Advisor’s Clients transitioning to LPL Financial’s custodial
platform, technology set-up fees, marketing and mailing costs, stationary and licensure transfer fees, moving
expenses, office space expenses, staffing support and termination fees associated with moving accounts.
The amount of the Transition Assistance payments is often significant in relation to the overall revenue earned or
compensation received by the Advisor at their prior firm. The level of support is based on the size of the Advisor’s
business established at the prior firm. These payments are generally in the form of payments or loans to the
Advisor with favorable interest rate terms as compared to other lenders, which are paid by LPL Financial or forgiven
by LPL Financial based on years of the relationship is maintained (e.g., if the [Advisor] remains with LPL Financial
for 5 years). The receipt of Transition Assistance creates a conflict of interest in that Advisor has a financial
incentive to recommend that a Client open and maintain account[s] with LPL Financial. The Advisor has mitigated
this conflict by disclosing these details.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
Certain Clients may be referred to the Advisor by either an affiliated or unaffiliated party (herein "Promoter") and
receive, directly or indirectly, compensation for the Client referral. In such instances, the Advisor will compensate
the Promoter a fee in accordance with Rule 206(4)-1 of the Advisers Act and any corresponding state securities
requirements. Any such compensation shall be paid solely from the investment management fees earned by the
Advisor, and shall not result in any additional charge to the Client.
Item 15 – Custody
The Advisor is authorized to deduct its fees from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Client must place all
assets with a “qualified custodian”. The Client is required to engage the Custodian to retain all funds and securities
and direct the Advisor to utilize that Custodian for security transactions in the account[s]. The Client should review
statements provided by the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For more information about
custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.

Page 15
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Proper Wealth generally has 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 Proper Wealth. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of
such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment management agreement containing all
applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Proper Wealth will be in accordance with
each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Proper Wealth does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements
directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client
retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Proper Wealth, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the
ability of Proper Wealth to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Proper Wealth, nor any of its Advisory Persons,
have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Proper Wealth is not required to deliver a balance
sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for
services to be performed six months or more in the future.

Item 4 – Services Fees and Compensation
A. Services
PW Advisors, LLC dba Proper Wealth (“Proper Wealth” or the “Advisor”) provides customized investment advisory
services for its Clients. This Wrap Fee Program Brochure is provided as a supplement to the Proper Wealth
Disclosure Brochure (Form ADV 2A). This Wrap Fee Program Brochure is provided along with the complete
Disclosure Brochure to provide full details of the business practices and fees when selecting Proper Wealth as your
investment advisor.
As part of the investment management fees noted in Item 5 of the Disclosure Brochure, Proper Wealth includes,
securities transaction fees as part of the overall investment management fee. Securities regulations often refer to
this combined fee structure as a “Wrap Fee Program”. The Advisor's recommended Custodian may not charge
securities transaction fees for Exchange-Trade Fund (“ETF”) and equity trades in a Client's account[s], provided
that the account meets the terms and conditions of the Custodian's brokerage requirements. The Custodian often
charges for mutual funds and other types of investments, although the Custodian may also offer certain mutual
funds with no transaction fee. The fees charged by Proper Wealth are separate and distinct from these custody and
execution fees. The Advisor will seek to utilize the lowest cost product that is available.
The sole purpose of this Wrap Fee Program Brochure is to provide additional disclosure relating the combination of
advisory fees and securities transaction fees into a single “bundled” investment management fee. This Wrap Fee
Program Brochure references back to the Proper Wealth Disclosure Brochure in which this Wrap Fee Program
Brochure serves as an Appendix. Please see Item 4 – Advisory Services of the Disclosure Brochure for
details on Proper Wealth’s investment philosophy and related services.
B. Program Costs
Advisory services provided by Proper Wealth are offered in a wrap fee structure whereby securities transaction fees
are included in the overall investment management fee paid to Proper Wealth. The cost of the Wrap Fee Program
varies depending on services to be provided to each Client; however, the Client is not charged more if there is
higher trading activity. A Wrap Fee structure presents a conflict of interest as the Advisor is incentivized to limit the
number of trades placed in the Client’s account[s] or to utilize securities that do not have transaction fees.
As noted above, the Advisor’s recommended Custodian typically does not charge securities transaction fees for
ETF and equity trades in Client accounts, but often charges for many mutual funds and other types of investments.
The Custodian may offer certain mutual funds with no transaction fee. The Advisor will only utilize the available
share class with the lowest expense ratio. As such, the Advisor is incentivized to utilize ETFs and other equity
securities to limit the overall cost to the Advisor. The Advisor will only place Client assets into a Wrap Fee Program
when it is believed to be in the Client’s best interest. Please see Item 5 – Fees and Compensation of the
Disclosure Brochure for complete details on fees.
C. Fees
Investment management fees are paid quarterly, advance of each calendar quarter pursuant to the terms of the
investment management agreement. Investment management fees are based on the market value of assets under
management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Investment management fees are charged an annual rate
ranging from 0.50% to 1.60% based on several factors, including: the scope and complexity of the services to be
provided; the level of assets to be managed; and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple
objectives, specific reporting requirements, portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee.
The investment management fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to
the end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into
consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by
Proper Wealth will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the
Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing.

Phone: (850) 972-9725 | Website: https://pwadvisors.com
Page 19
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and other
related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor
shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Investment management fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s]
at the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted
from the Client’s account[s] at the beginning of the respective quarter. The amount due is calculated by applying the
quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management with Proper Wealth at the end of the
prior quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of
the investment management fee. In addition, the Advisor will provide the Client a report itemizing the fee, including the
calculation period covered by the fee, the account value and the methodology used to calculate the fee. Clients are
urged to also review and compare the statement provided by the Advisor to the brokerage statement from the
Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform a verification of fees. Clients provide written authorization permitting
advisory fees to be deducted by Proper Wealth to be paid directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part
of the investment management agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian.
In addition, all fees paid to Proper Wealth for investment management services or part of the Wrap Fee Program
are separate and distinct from the expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable.
These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be
used to pay management fees for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage
and account reporting), and a possible distribution fee. Securities transaction fees for Client-directed trades will be
charged back to the Client. In connection with the discretionary investment management services provided by
Proper Wealth, the Client will incur other costs assessed by the Custodian or other third parties, such as wire
transfer fees, fees for trades executed away from the Custodian and other fees. The Advisor does not control nor
share in these fees. The Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by Proper
Wealth to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please see Item 5.C. – Other Fees and Expenses in the
Disclosure Brochure (included with this Wrap Fee Program Brochure).
D. Compensation
Proper Wealth is the sponsor and portfolio manager of this Wrap Fee Program. Proper Wealth receives investment
management fees paid by Clients for participating in the Wrap Fee Program and pays the securities transaction
fees associated with the management of the Client’s account[s].
Item 5 – Account Requirements and Types of Clients
Proper Wealth offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
businesses, and retirement plans. Proper Wealth does not impose a minimum relationship size.
Item 6 – Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation
Portfolio Manager Selection
Proper Wealth serves as sponsor and as portfolio manager for the services under this Wrap Fee Program.
Related Persons
Proper Wealth personnel serve as portfolio managers for this Wrap Fee Program. Proper Wealth does not serve as
a portfolio manager for any third-party Wrap Fee Programs.
Performance-Based Fees
Proper Wealth does not charge performance-based fees for its investment management services. The fees
charged by Proper Wealth are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the
funds or securities held by any Client. Proper Wealth does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited
partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any
particular investment options to its Clients.

The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk
based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a large bid-
ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may
dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased
or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.
There is also a risk that Authorized Participants are unable to fulfill their responsibilities. Authorized Participants are
one of the major parties involved with ETF creation/redemption mechanisms in the markets. The Authorized
Participants play a critical role in the liquidity of ETFs and essentially have the exclusive right to change the supply
of ETF shares in the market. If the Authorized Participants do not fulfill this expected role, there could be an
adverse impact on liquidity and the valuation of an ETF.
Equity Security Risks
The value of equity securities may fluctuate in response to specific situations for each company, industry
conditions, and/or the overall stock market. The volatility of a particular equity security may be higher than a mutual
fund or ETF that contains many underlying companies.
Fixed Income Security Risks
Fixed investments generally pay a return on a fixed schedule, though the amount of the payments can vary. They
can include corporate and government debt securities, leveraged loans, high-yield and investment-grade debt, and
structured products, such as mortgage and other asset-backed securities. Individual bonds may be the best-known
type of fixed-income security. In general, the fixed-income market is volatile, and fixed-income securities carry
interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more
pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed-income securities also carry inflation risk, liquidity risk, call risk, and
credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. The risk of default on treasury inflation-
protected/inflation-linked bonds is dependent upon the U.S. Treasury defaulting (extremely unlikely); however, they
carry a potential risk of losing share price value, albeit rather minimal.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the
mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual
fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same
price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Asset Allocation Risks
Asset allocation strategies may result in investments that are concentrated in certain asset classes, industries, or
geographic areas. Asset allocation strategies may also be diversified among different asset classes. Market

Page 21
conditions may, at different times, be more favorable toward a concentrated or diversified asset allocation strategy.
There is a risk that Clients will not be in a favorable asset allocation strategy at any given time. Asset allocation
strategies may change over time.
Cybersecurity Risks
As the use of technologies has become more common in conducting business, the Advisor and its service
providers may be more susceptible to operational, information security, and related risks in connection with
breaches in cybersecurity. Generally, a cybersecurity event may result from either intentional attacks or
unintentional events and include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems,
misappropriating assets or sensitive information, causing a client to lose proprietary information, corrupting data, or
causing operational disruption, including denial-of-service attacks on websites. A cybersecurity event could cause
the Advisor and/or its service providers to become subject to regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional
compliance costs associated with corrective measures, and/or financial losses.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve
a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss
these risks with the Advisor. Please see Item 8.B. – Risk of Loss in the Disclosure Brochure for details on
investment risks.
Proxy Voting
Proper Wealth does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements
directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client
retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 7 – Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers
Proper Wealth is the sponsor and sole portfolio manager for the Program. The Advisor does not share Client
information with other portfolio managers because it is the sole portfolio manager for this Wrap Fee Program.
Please also see the Proper Wealth Privacy Policy (included after this Wrap Fee Program Brochure).
Item 8 – Client Contact with Portfolio Managers
Proper Wealth is a full-service investment advisory firm. Clients always have direct access to the Portfolio
Managers at Proper Wealth.
Item 9 – Additional Information
A. Disciplinary Information and Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving Proper Wealth or its owner. Proper Wealth
values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite due diligence
on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor or Advisory Persons
are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with
the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 336499. Please see Item 9 of the Proper Wealth Disclosure Brochure as well as
Item 3 of each Advisory Person’s Brochure Supplement (included with this Wrap Fee Program Brochure) for
additional information on how to research the background of the Advisor and its Advisory Persons.
Other Financial Activities and Affiliations
Please see Item 10 – Other Financial Activities and Affiliation and Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other
Compensation of the Form ADV Part 2A – Disclosure Brochure (included with this Wrap Fee Program Brochure).
B. Code of Ethics, Review of Accounts, Client Referrals, and Financial Information
Proper Wealth has implemented a Code of Ethics that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to each Client.
This Code of Ethics applies to all persons subject to Proper Wealth’s compliance program (our “Supervised
Persons”). Complete details on the Proper Wealth Code of Ethics can be found under Item 11 – Code of Ethics,
Participation in Client Transactions and Personal Trading in the Disclosure Brochure (included with this Wrap Fee
Program Brochure).

Investments in
Review of Accounts
Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Advisory Persons of Proper Wealth under the
supervision of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). Details of the review policies and practices are provided in
Item 13 of the Form ADV Part 2A – Disclosure Brochure.
Other Compensation
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
As its Advisory Persons are also Registered Representatives of LPL Financial, Proper Wealth and its Advisory
Persons must recommend LPL Financial as the Custodian and recommend that Clients establish their accounts at
LPL Financial, where Proper Wealth has access to LPL Financial’s systems, back office support, research and
other benefits. While Proper Wealth receives these economic benefits from LPL Financial, we believe LPL Financial
provides quality execution and related services for our Clients at competitive prices. Price is not the sole factor
Proper Wealth considers in evaluating best execution and the recommendation of a custodian. Proper Wealth also
considers the quality of the brokerage services provided by LPL Financial, including the firm's reputation, execution
capabilities, commission rates, and responsiveness to our Clients and our firm. Clients are free to use whatever
broker-dealer/custodian they choose to implement financial planning recommendations. For investment
management services, Proper Wealth would be required to obtain permission to use a broker-dealer or custodian
other than LPL Financial due to the oversight role LPL Financial assumes over the Advisory Persons. Proper
Wealth has established an institutional relationship with LPL Financial to assist the Advisor in managing Client
account[s]. Access to the LPL Financial platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor. The Advisor receives access
to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients
that maintain assets at LPL Financial. The software and related systems support may benefit the Advisor, but not its
Clients directly. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients
first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a Custodian creates a potential
conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's recommendation of this Custodian over one that
does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Please see
Please see Item 14 – Other Compensation in the Form ADV Part 2A – Disclosure Brochure (included with this
Wrap Fee Program Brochure) for details on additional compensation that may be received by Proper Wealth or its
Advisory Persons. Each Advisory Person’s Brochure Supplement (also included with this Wrap Fee Program
Brochure) provides details on any outside business activities and the associated compensation.
Client Referrals from Solicitors
Certain Clients may be referred to the Advisor by either an affiliated or unaffiliated party (herein "Promoter") and
receive, directly or indirectly, compensation for the Client referral. In such instances, the Advisor will compensate
the Promoter a fee in accordance with Rule 206(4)-1 of the Advisers Act and any corresponding state securities
requirements. Any such compensation shall be paid solely from the investment management fees earned by the
Advisor, and shall not result in any additional charge to the Client.
Financial Information
Neither Proper Wealth, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the
ability of Proper Wealth to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Proper Wealth, nor any of its Advisory Persons,
have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Proper Wealth is not required to deliver a balance
sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for
services to be performed six months or more in the future.

However, we do encourage you to independently view the background of Mr. Chason on the Investment Adviser
Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with his full name or his Individual CRD#
6183474.
Item 4 – Other Business Activities
Broker-Dealer Affiliation
Mr. Chason is also a Registered Representative of LPL Financial, LLC (“LPL Financial”). LPL Financial is a
registered broker-dealer (CRD# 6413), member FINRA, SIPC. In Mr. Chason’s separate capacity as a Registered
Representative, Mr. Chason will receive commissions for the implementation of recommendations for
commissionable transactions. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendation provided by Mr. Chason.
Neither the Advisor nor Mr. Chason will earn ongoing investment management fees in connection with any products
or services implemented in Mr. Chason’s separate capacity as a Registered Representative . Mr. Chason spends
less than 10% of his business time per month in his role as a Registered Representative of LPL Financial.
Insurance Agency Affiliations
Mr. Chason is also a licensed insurance professional through Proper Insurance Advisors, an affiliate of the Advisor.
Implementations of insurance recommendations are separate and apart from Mr. Chason’s role with Proper Wealth.
As an insurance professional, Mr. Chason will receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the
various insurance companies whose products are sold. Mr. Chason is not required to offer the products of any
PW Advisors, LLC dba Proper Wealth
3233 Thomasville Road, Tallahassee, FL 32308
Phone: (850) 972-9725 | Website: https://pwadvisors.com
Page 25
particular insurance company. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset regular advisory fees. This
practice presents a conflict of interest in recommending certain products of the insurance companies. Clients are
under no obligation to implement any recommendations made by Mr. Chason or the Advisor. Mr. Chason spends
less than 10% of his business time per month in this capacity.
Affiliated Accounting Firm
Mr. Chason is also the Manager of an affiliated accounting firm, Proper Accounting Advisors, LLC, which provides
financial analysis, bookkeeping, and consulting services for business owners. This is not a CPA firm and does not
provide tax preparation, audit or attestation services. If the Advisor’s Clients engage the accounting firm, they will
enter into a separate agreement and pay related fees directly to Proper Accounting Advisors. Proper Wealth’s
Clients are not under any obligation to use Proper Accounting Advisors’ services. No services from the accounting
affiliate are required or bundled, and no revenue sharing takes place. Mr. Chason spends less than 25% of his
business time per month in this capacity.
Item 5 – Additional Compensation
Mr. Chason has additional business activities where compensation is received that are detailed in Item 4 above.
Transition Assistance – LPL Financial also provides benefits and/or payments to Proper Wealth to assist the costs
associated with transitioning their business to LPL Financial. (collectively referred to as “Transition Assistance”).
The proceeds of such Transition Assistance payments are intended to be used for a variety of purposes, including
but not necessarily limited to, providing working capital to assist in funding the Advisor’s business, offsetting
account transfer fees (“ACATs”) as a result of the Advisor’s Clients transitioning to LPL Financial’s custodial
platform, technology set-up fees, marketing and mailing costs, stationary and licensure transfer fees, moving
expenses, office space expenses, staffing support and termination fees associated with moving accounts.
The amount of the Transition Assistance payments is often significant in relation to the overall revenue earned or
compensation received by the Advisor at their prior firm. The level of support is based on the size of the Advisor’s
business established at the prior firm. These payments are generally in the form of payments or loans to the
Advisor with favorable interest rate terms as compared to other lenders, which are paid by LPL Financial or forgiven
by LPL Financial based on years of the relationship is maintained (e.g., if the [Advisor] remains with LPL Financial
for 5 years). The receipt of Transition Assistance creates a conflict of interest in that Advisor has a financial
incentive to recommend that a Client open and maintain account[s] with LPL Financial. The Advisor has mitigated
this conflict by disclosing these details.
Item 6 – Supervision
Mr. Chason serves as a Partner, Financial Advisor and Chief Compliance Officer of Proper Wealth. As Proper
Wealth’s CCO and principal owner, Nicholas Chason does not have a person who acts as his direct supervisor.
However, Proper Wealth has adopted written policies and procedures which are designed to set standards and
internal controls for the firm and its Supervised Persons and are also reasonably designed to prevent, detect, and
correct any violations of regulatory requirements and the Advisor’s policies and procedures. Mr. Chason can be
reached at (850) 972-9725.

or unannounced. Proper Wealth is required to periodically update the information provided to these agencies and to
provide various reports regarding the business activities and assets of the Advisor.

Certified Public Accountant™ (“CPA”)
CPAs are licensed and regulated by their state boards of accountancy. While state laws and regulations vary, the
education, experience and testing requirements for licensure as a CPA generally include minimum
college education (typically 150 credit hours with at least a baccalaureate degree and a concentration in
accounting), minimum experience levels (most states require at least one year of experience providing services that
involve the use of accounting, attest, compilation, management advisory, financial advisory, tax or consulting skills,
all of which must be achieved under the supervision of or verification by a CPA), and successful passage of the
Uniform CPA Examination. In order to maintain a CPA license, states generally require the completion of 40 hours
of continuing professional education (CPE) each year (or 80 hours over a two-year period or 120 hours over a
three-year period). Additionally, all American Institute of Certified Public Accountants™ (AICPA®) members are
required to follow a rigorous Code of Professional Conduct which requires that they act with integrity, objectivity,
due care, competence, fully disclose any conflicts of interest (and obtain client consent if a conflict exists), maintain
client confidentiality, disclose to the client any commission or referral fees, and serve the public interest when
providing financial services. The vast majority of state boards of accountancy have adopted the AICPA’s® Code of
Professional Conduct within their state accountancy laws or have created their own.
CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (“CFP®”)
The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP®, and federally registered CFP® (with flame design) marks
(collectively, the “CFP® marks”) are professional certification marks granted in the United States by CERTIFIED
FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP® Board”).
The CFP® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or regulation requires financial planners to
hold CFP® certification. It is recognized in the United States and a number of other countries for its (1) high
standard of professional education; (2) stringent code of conduct and standards of practice; and (3) ethical
requirements that govern professional engagements with clients. Currently, more than 87,000 individuals have
obtained CFP® certification in the United States.
To attain the right to use the CFP® marks, an individual must satisfactorily fulfill the following requirements:
• Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study addressing the financial planning subject
areas that CFP Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the competent and professional delivery
of financial planning services, and attain a Bachelor’s Degree from a regionally accredited United States
college or university (or its equivalent from a foreign university). CFP Board’s financial planning subject
areas include insurance planning and risk management, employee benefits planning, investment planning,
income tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning;
• Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination includes case
studies and client scenarios designed to test one’s ability to correctly diagnose financial planning issues
and apply one’s knowledge of financial planning to real-world circumstances;
• Experience – Complete at least three years of full-time financial planning-related experience (or the
equivalent, measured as 2,000 hours per year); and
• Ethics – Agree to be bound by CFP Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct, a set of documents
outlining the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
PW Advisors, LLC dba Proper Wealth
3233 Thomasville Road, Tallahassee, FL 32308
Phone: (850) 972-9725 | Website: https://pwadvisors.com
Page 28
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements in order
to maintain the right to continue to use the CFP® marks:
• Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education hours every two years, including two
hours on the Code of Ethics and other parts of the Standards of Professional Conduct, to maintain
competence and keep up with developments in the financial planning field; and
• Ethics – Renew an agreement to be bound by the Standards of Professional Conduct. The Standards
prominently require that CFP® professionals provide financial planning services at a fiduciary standard of
care. This means CFP® professionals must provide financial planning services in the best interests of their
clients.
CFP® professionals who fail to comply with the above standards and requirements may be subject to CFP Board’s
enforcement process, which could result in suspension or permanent revocation of their CFP®.

coursework covers the financial planning subject areas CFP Board has determined are necessary for the
competent and professional delivery of financial planning services, as well as a comprehensive financial
plan development capstone course. A candidate may satisfy some of the coursework requirement through
other qualifying credentials. CFP Board implemented the bachelor’s degree or higher requirement in 2007
and the financial planning development capstone course requirement in March 2012. Therefore, a CFP®
professional who first became certified before those dates may not have earned a bachelor’s or higher
degree or completed a financial planning development capstone course.
• Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination is designed to
assess an individual’s ability to integrate and apply a broad base of financial planning knowledge in the
context of real-life financial planning situations.
• Experience – Complete 6,000 hours of professional experience related to the personal financial planning
process, or 4,000 hours of apprenticeship experience that meets additional requirements.
• Ethics – Satisfy the Fitness Standards for Candidates for CFP® Certification and Former CFP®
Professionals Seeking Reinstatement and agree to be bound by CFP Board’s Code of Ethics and
Standards of Conduct (“Code and Standards”), which sets forth the ethical and practice standards for CFP®
professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements to remain
certified and maintain the right to continue to use the CFP Board Certification Marks:
• Ethics – Commit to complying with CFP Board’s Code and Standards. This includes a commitment to CFP
Board, as part of the certification, to act as a fiduciary, and therefore, act in the best interests of the Client,
at all times when providing financial advice and financial planning. CFP Board may sanction a CFP®
professional who does not abide by this commitment, but CFP Board does not guarantee a CFP®

professional's services. A Client who seeks a similar commitment should obtain a written engagement that
includes a fiduciary obligation to the Client.
• Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education every two years to maintain
competence, demonstrate specified levels of knowledge, skills, and abilities, and keep up with
developments in financial planning. Two of the hours must address the Code and Standards.
Certified Public Accountant™ (“CPA”)
CPAs are licensed and regulated by their state boards of accountancy. While state laws and regulations vary, the
education, experience and testing requirements for licensure as a CPA generally include minimum
college education (typically 150 credit hours with at least a baccalaureate degree and a concentration in
accounting), minimum experience levels (most states require at least one year of experience providing services that
involve the use of accounting, attest, compilation, management advisory, financial advisory, tax or consulting skills,
all of which must be achieved under the supervision of or verification by a CPA), and successful passage of the
Uniform CPA Examination. In order to maintain a CPA license, states generally require the completion of 40 hours
of continuing professional education (CPE) each year (or 80 hours over a two-year period or 120 hours over a
three-year period). Additionally, all American Institute of Certified Public Accountants™ (AICPA®) members are
required to follow a rigorous Code of Professional Conduct which requires that they act with integrity, objectivity,
due care, competence, fully disclose any conflicts of interest (and obtain client consent if a conflict exists), maintain
client confidentiality, disclose to the client any commission or referral fees, and serve the public interest when
providing financial services. The vast majority of state boards of accountancy have adopted the AICPA’s® Code of
Professional Conduct within their state accountancy laws or have created their own.
