in business since 2024, and its principal owner is Josh Gardner. Our Firm has been registered with the SEC
since 2025. Registration as an Investment Adviser with the United States SEC or any state securities
authority does not imply a certain level of skill or understanding. Our Firm currently has other office located
at 4140 E. Baseline Rd., Mesa, AZ 85206.
This brochure is designed to provide detailed and precise information about each item noted in the table

ADVISORY SERVICES WE OFFER
Our Firm offers a variety of advisory services, which include discretionary investment management,
financial planning, independent third-party money management, and retirement services. Before
rendering any preceding advisory services, Clients must enter into one or more written Investment
Advisory Agreements (“Agreements”), setting forth the relevant terms and conditions of the advisory
relationship.
We do not provide tax or legal advice. Clients should consult with an expert on tax or legal issues.
Our Firm manages portfolios for individuals, high-net-worth individuals and families, estates, trusts,
retirement plan. We provide investment management and advisory services to multi-generational families
using separately managed accounts under a custodial relationship with an independent brokerage firm.
With our discretionary relationship, we will change the portfolio as appropriate to help meet your financial
objectives. We trade Client portfolios based on our Firm’s market views and the Client’s financial goals.
We primarily invest in equities, American Depositary Receipts, corporate debt securities, certificates of
deposit, municipal securities, mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds, US Government Securities, and
options contracts on securities. A portion of the account may be held in cash, cash equivalents, or money
market funds as part of the overall investment strategy. Cash balances may have a higher concentration
and represent a sizable portion of your overall portfolio, depending on the current investment outlook or
strategy.
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 4 OF 35
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities by notifying Us through written
notification.
Clients are advised to promptly notify us if there are changes in their financial situation or if they wish to
place any limitations on managing their portfolios.
Prosper Private Wealth can recommend that certain clients utilize margin in the client’s investment
portfolio or other borrowing. Prosper Private Wealth only recommend such borrowing for non-investment
needs, such as bridge loans and other financing needs. The Firm’s fees are determined based on the value
of the assets being managed gross of any margin or borrowing.
Our Firm typically requires a minimum account size of $1,000,000 for advisory accounts. However,
sometimes, at our sole discretion, we may accept smaller accounts based on various criteria, such as
anticipated future assets, related accounts, and other individual Client circumstances.
LEGACY MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Our Firm may advise a Client about legacy positions or other investments in Client portfolios. Clients can
limit or restrict our trading in these positions.
FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES
Our Firm offers financial planning services, which involve preparing a written financial plan covering
specific or multiple topics. We provide full written financial plans, which may address one or several topics:
Investment Planning, Retirement Planning, Insurance Planning, Tax Planning, Education Planning,
Portfolios, and Allocation Review.
Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the Client is solely responsible for determining whether to
implement our financial planning recommendations. Our financial planning services do not involve
implementing transactions on your behalf nor include active and ongoing monitoring or management of
your investments or accounts.
The Client must execute a separate written agreement if the Client elects to implement any of our
investment recommendations through our Firm or retain our Firm to monitor and manage investments
actively.
INDEPENDENT SUB-ADVISORY AND THIRD-PARTY MANAGER SERVICES
If deemed appropriate, our Firm will utilize the services of a Sub-Advisor (“SMA” or “Manager”) or
Independent Third-Party Manager (“ITPM” or “Manager”) to manage your accounts. Investment
recommendations and securities trading will only be offered by or through the chosen SMA or ITPM. Our
Firm will not advise on any specific securities concerning this service.
Before referring you, our Firm will provide initial due diligence on SMA and ITPMs and ongoing reviews
of their management of your accounts. To assist in selecting an SMA or ITPM, our Firm will gather
information about the Client’s financial situation, investment objectives, and reasonable restrictions to be
imposed upon the account management.
Our Firm will periodically review the Manager reports provided to the Client. We will periodically contact
the Client to review their financial situation and objectives, communicate information to the Manager as
warranted, and assist you in understanding and evaluating the services provided. The Client will be
expected to notify our Firm of any changes in their financial situation, investment objectives, or account
restrictions that could affect their financial standing.
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 5 OF 35
By executing an Investment Advisory Agreement with our Firm, the Client gives our Firm the discretionary
authority to hire or fire the Manager and to allocate assets among Managers without obtaining consent.
The services provided by the SMA and ITPM include:
Implementation of an asset allocation
• Assessment of your investment needs and objectives
•
• Delivery of suitable style allocations (e.g., Income, Large Cap, Small Cap, Growth, Value, etc.)
• Facilitation of portfolio transactions
• Ongoing monitoring of investment vehicles’ performance
• Review of accounts for adherence to policy guidelines and asset allocation
• Reporting of your portfolio activity.
Each Manager has minimum account requirements that will vary between Managers. Account minimums
are typically higher for fixed-income accounts than for equity-based accounts. A complete description of
the Manager’s services, fee schedules, and account minimums will be disclosed in the Manager’s
disclosure brochure, which will be provided to you before or when an agreement for services is executed,
and the account is established.
As of the date of this 2A Brochure, Prosper Private Wealth is not currently engaged with any Third-Party
Money Managers or Sub-Advisors to provide services to our Clients.
RETIREMENT PLAN SERVICES
When providing any non-discretionary investment advisory services, we will solely be making investment
recommendations to the Sponsor, and the Sponsor retains full discretionary authority or control over assets
of the retirement plan. We agree to perform any non-discretionary investment advisory services to the
retirement plan as a fiduciary, as defined in ERISA Section 3(21)(A)(ii). We will act in good faith and with
the degree of diligence, care, and skill that a prudent person rendering similar services would exercise
under similar circumstances.
When providing administrative services, we may support the Sponsor with plan governance and
committee education; vendor management and service provider selection and review; investment
education; or plan participant non-fiduciary education services. We agree to perform any administrative
services solely in a capacity that would not be considered a fiduciary under ERISA or any other applicable
law.
When offering investment models to plan sponsors, under certain circumstances, we will act as a
“fiduciary” as defined under Section 3(21) of ERISA and Section 4975I (3) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”).
ROLLOVER RECOMMENDATION DISCLOSURE
Our Firm is considered a fiduciary under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. When we provide investment
advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are also
fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and the Internal
Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. We must act in your best
interest and not put our interests ahead of yours. At the same time, how we make money conflicts with
Client interests.
A Client leaving an employer typically has four options regarding an existing retirement plan (and may
engage in a combination of these options):
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 6 OF 35
•
•
•
•
leave the money in the former employer’s plan, if permitted,
roll over the assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted,
rollover to an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”), or
cash out the account value (which depending upon the Client’s age, could result in adverse tax
consequences).
Our Firm may recommend a Client rollover plan assets to an IRA for which our Firm provides investment
advisory services. As a result, our Firm and its advisors may earn an asset-based fee on the rolled assets.
In contrast, a recommendation that a Client leave their plan assets with their previous employer or rollover
the assets to a plan sponsored by a new employer will result in no compensation to our Firm. Therefore,
our Firm has an economic incentive to encourage a Client to roll plan assets into an IRA that our Firm will
manage, which presents a conflict of interest. To mitigate the conflict of interest, there are numerous
factors that our Firm will consider before recommending a rollover, including but not limited to:
the investment options available in the plan versus the investment options available in an IRA,
fees and expenses in the plan versus the fees and expenses in an IRA,
the services and responsiveness of the plan’s investment professionals versus those of our Firm,
required minimum distributions and age considerations, and
•
•
•
• protection of assets from creditors and legal judgments,
•
• employer stock tax consequences, if any.
The Chief Compliance Officer remains available to address client questions regarding the supervision and
oversight of rollover and transfer assets.
CLIENT OBJECTIVES & RESTRICTIONS
Our Firm tailors our investment management and advisory services continuously to meet the needs of our
Clients. We seek to ensure Client portfolios are managed consistently with those needs and objectives in
mind. We meet with Clients on an initial and ongoing basis to assess their specific risk tolerance, time
horizon, liquidity constraints, and other related factors relevant to managing their portfolios. Clients may
impose reasonable restrictions on managing the accounts if the conditions do not impact the performance
of a management strategy.
WRAP FEE PROGRAM
Our Firm does not sponsor or participate in a Wrap Program.
REGULATORY ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
As of December 31, 2025, our Firm had $$150,821,334 in regulatory assets under management, all of
which was managed on a discretionary basis.
ITEM 5 - FEES AND COMPENSATION
In addition to the information provided in Item 4 – Advisory Business, this section details our Firm’s services
and each service’s fees and compensation arrangement. The Client and Prosper Private Wealth’s
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 7 OF 35
Investment Advisory Agreement will outline and agree upon the exact costs and other terms related to
the Client’s Accounts.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE
Our Firm offers investment management services for an annual fee based on the amount of assets under
management. Our maximum annual fee can be up to 2.00%, and we have a minimum account size of
$1,000,000. We retain the right to waive the minimum account size at our discretion.
Our annual fee is reasonable in relation to (1) the services provided and (2) the fees charged by other
investment advisers offering similar services/programs.
Our annual fee is prorated and charged monthly, in arrears, based on the average daily balance of the
account. Cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, are subject to your advisory fee.
Clients should understand that the advisory fees charged on these balances may exceed the returns
provided by cash, cash equivalents, or money market funds, especially in low-interest rate environments.
Our Firm retains complete discretion to negotiate fees and may waive or impose different fees on any
Client. The investment advisory fees will be deducted from your account and paid directly to our Firm by
the qualified Custodian(s) of your account. The Client will authorize your account's qualified Custodian(s)
to deduct fees from the account and pay such fees directly to our Firm. All account assets, transactions,
and advisory fees will be shown on the monthly or quarterly statements provided by the Custodian. You
should review your account statements received from the qualified Custodian(s) and verify that appropriate
investment advisory fees are being deducted. The qualified Custodian(s) will not verify the accuracy of the
investment advisory fees deducted. We may aggregate related Client accounts to calculate the advisory
fee applicable to the Client. The investment management agreement will outline the fee charged to a
Client and any breakpoints based on the level of assets managed. The fees are subject to change with
prior written notice to the Client.
Our annual investment advisory fee may be higher than that of other investment advisers that offer similar
services and programs. In addition to our compensation, you may incur charges imposed at the mutual
fund level (e.g., advisory fees and other fund expenses).
Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar month will be charged a prorated fee based on the
days the Client account was open during that quarter. Any prepaid, unearned fees will be refunded upon
termination of any account.
LEGACY MANAGEMENT FEE
Managed legacy positions are included within our Firm’s standard investment management fee and are
outlined in the executed investment management agreement.
FINANCIAL PLANNING FEE
Our Firm provides financial planning services under an hourly fee arrangement. This arrangement charges
a mutually agreed-upon fee for financial planning services.
The maximum hourly fee is $450.
Fees charged for our financial planning services are negotiable based upon the type of Client, the services
requested, the investment adviser representative providing advice, the complexity of the Client's situation,
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 8 OF 35
the composition of the Client's account, other advisory services provided, and the relationship of the Client
and the investment adviser representative.
The amount of the fee for your engagement is specified in your financial planning agreement with us. At
our sole discretion, the Client may be required to pay the fee at the time the agreement is executed with
our Firm; however, our Firm does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per Client,
six months or more in advance. The fee is considered earned upon delivery of the financial plan, and any
unpaid amount is immediately due.
The Client may pay the fees owed for the financial planning services by submitting payment directly via
check, or by deducting the fee from an existing investment account. If the Client elects to pay by automatic
deduction from an existing investment account, they will provide written authorization to our Firm for such
a charge.
If the Client terminates the financial planning services after entering into an agreement with our Firm, the
Client will be invoiced and responsible for immediate payment of any hourly financial planning services
performed by us before receiving notice of termination. For financial planning services, our Firm performs
under a hourly fee arrangement, the Client will be responsible for paying a pro-rated fixed fee equivalent
to the percentage of work that our Firm completed. If there is a remaining balance of any fees paid in
advance after deducting fees from the final invoice, those remaining proceeds will be refunded to the
Client.
INDEPENDENT SUB-ADVISORY & THIRD-PARTY MANAGER SERVICE FEES
A complete description of the SMA and ITPM’s services, fee schedules, and account minimums will be
disclosed in Manager's disclosure brochure, which will be provided to you before or when an agreement
for services is executed, and the account is established. Each third-party investment adviser is required
under federal securities laws to provide their clients, including SMA and ITPM Clients, with a Form ADV
Part 2A (“Adviser Brochure” or “this Brochure”) that includes disclosures, and among other things, the
fees charged to their clients.
The actual fee charged to the Client will vary depending on SMA or ITPM. All fees are calculated and
collected by the Manager, who will be responsible for delivering our Firm’s portion of the fee paid by the
Client. With SMA and ITPMs, you may incur additional charges, including mutual fund sales loads, 12b-1
fees and surrender charges, and IRA and qualified retirement plan fees. There will be no additional
advisory fees incurred by the Client for using a Sub-Advisor or Third-Party Manager.
There is a potential conflict of interest in using independent Managers if they pay us a portion of their
advisory fee and have met the conditions of our Firm’s due diligence review. Our Firm is committed to
always working in the Client's best interest. There may be other Managers not affiliated with our Firm that
may be suitable for a Client or may be more or less costly. As with any Advisor, no guarantees can be
made that the SMA or ITPM will achieve your financial goals or objectives. Further, no guarantees of
performance can be offered.
Clients should review the SMA or ITPM’s Brochure in its entirety, along with this Brochure, to fully
understand the services, fees, agreements, and risks surrounding these arrangements and fully understand
that these types of arrangements have layers of fees that may or may not be apparent without reading the
SMA or ITPM’s Brochure and this Brochure, along with the offering document/prospectus for underlining
investments.
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 9 OF 35
RETIREMENT PLAN SERVICE FEE
For Retirement Plan Advisory Services compensation, we charge an advisory fee as negotiated with the
Plan Sponsor and as disclosed in the Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plans Consulting Agreement (“Plan
Sponsor Agreement”).
Typically, the billing period for these fees is paid quarterly. This fee is negotiable, but the terms and the
advisory fee are agreed upon in advance and acknowledged by the Plan Sponsor Agreement or Plan
Provider’s account agreement. Fee billing methods vary depending on the Plan Provider.
Our Firm or the Plan Sponsor may terminate the Agreement upon 30 days written notice to the other
party. The Plan Sponsor is responsible for paying for the services rendered until the termination of the
Agreement.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PROVIDED BY ADVYZON TECHNOLOGIES
Our Firm has contracted with Advyzon Technologies to utilize its technology platforms to support data
reconciliation, performance reporting, fee calculation, client relationship maintenance, quarterly
performance evaluations, and other functions related to managing Client accounts' administrative tasks.
Due to this arrangement, Advyzon will have access to client accounts, but Advyzon will not serve as an
investment advisor to our clients or bill the accounts. Advyzon charges our firm an annual fee for each
account administered by its software. Please note that our Firm’s annual fee to Advyzon will not increase
the Client's fee. Our firm will pay the annual fee from the portion of the management fee retained by our
Firm. Our Firm and Advyzon are non-affiliated companies.
ADDITIONAL FEES & EXPENSES
In addition to the advisory fees paid to our Firm, Clients also incur certain charges imposed by other third
parties, such as broker-dealers, Custodians, trust companies, banks, and other financial institutions. These
additional charges include securities, transaction fees, custodial fees, fees charged by the SMA, ITPM, and
Manager charges imposed by a mutual fund or ETF (Exchange Traded Funds) in a Client’s account, as
disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (e.g., fund management fees and other fund expenses), deferred sales
charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and
taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Our brokerage practices are described at length
in Item 12 below. Neither our Firm nor its supervised persons accept commission compensation for selling
securities or other investment products. Further, we do not share any additional fees and expenses
outlined above.
Our Firm’s investment strategies may include mutual and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Our policy is
to purchase institutional share classes of those mutual funds selected for the Client’s portfolio. The
institutional share class generally has the lowest expense ratio. The expense ratio is the annual fee that all
mutual funds or ETFs charge their shareholders. It expresses the percentage of assets deducted each fiscal
year for funds expenses, including 12b-1 fees, management fees, administrative fees, operating costs, and
all other asset-based costs incurred by the fund. Some fund families offer different classes of the same
fund, and one share class may have a lower expense ratio than another. Mutual fund expense ratios are in
addition to our fees; we do not receive any portion of these charges. If an institutional share class is not
available for the mutual fund selected, the adviser will purchase the least expensive share class available
for the mutual fund. As share classes with lower expense ratios become available, we may use them in the
Client’s portfolio or convert the existing mutual fund position to the lower-cost share class. Clients who
transfer mutual funds into their accounts with our Firm would bear the expense of any contingent or
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 10 OF 35
deferred sales loads incurred upon selling the product. If a mutual fund has a frequent trading policy, the
policy can limit a Client’s transactions in fund shares (e.g., for rebalancing, liquidations, deposits, or tax
harvesting). All mutual fund expenses and fees are disclosed in the respective mutual fund prospectus.
When selecting investments for our Clients’ portfolios, we might choose mutual funds on your account
Custodian’s Non-Transaction Fee (NTF) list. This means that your account Custodian will not charge a
transaction fee or commission associated with the purchase or sale of the mutual fund.
The mutual fund companies that choose to participate in the Client’s Custodial NTF fund program pay a
fee to the Custodian to be included in the NTF program. The mutual fund owners bear the fee that a
company pays to participate in the program, as captured in the fund’s expense ratio. When choosing a
fund from the Client’s Custodial NTF list, our Firm considers the expected holding period, position size,
and expense ratio versus alternative funds. Depending on our Firm’s analysis and future events, NTF funds
might not always be in the Client’s best interest.
ITEM 6 - PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES & SIDE-BY-SIDE
MANAGEMENT
Performance-based fees are based on a share of capital gains on or appreciation of the assets in a Client’s
account.
Our Firm’s performance is contingent upon the return experienced by the Client, which is computed based
on unrealized and realized appreciation of assets in the Client's account. Clients participating in a
performance fee arrangement may pay our Firm more compensation when compared to standard fee
rates. Performance fee rates are negotiable. Clients can negotiate the base fee rate, performance fee rate,
the index used to calculate the performance fee or the use of no index in calculating the performance fee.
Any performance fee charged by our Firm is intended to comply with our Investment Advisory Agreement
and Rule 205-3 requirements under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Adviser’s Act”).
Performance fees create a conflict because we could have the incentive to favor accounts that they charge
a performance fee over other types of Client accounts by allocating more profitable investments to
performance fee accounts or devoting more resources toward the accounts’ management. Our Firm seeks
to mitigate the potential conflicts of interest that could arise from managing accounts assigned a
performance fee by monitoring and diligently enforcing our policies and procedures, including those
related to investment allocation.
These fees will be calculated and paid monthly.
Fair market value for purposes of computing our compensation, if any, is determined by valuing the assets
as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents shall be valued at the face amount.
• The current market value shall be determined based on quotations for notes, bonds, and other
debt instruments. If such quotations are not readily available, market value will be determined
based on the coupon, maturity, rating, liquidity, industry factors, company factors, and
management.
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 11 OF 35
Common stock and other equity securities shall have a value equal to their respective closing prices as
quoted by the NYSE or the NASDAQ Stock Exchange (“NASDAQ”) system on the last business day
preceding the day on which fair market value is being determined.
Interest and dividends shall be accrued to the last business day preceding the day on which fair market
value is being determined.
If a performance fee agreement is terminated within one year from the agreement’s inception date, our
Firm’s fee shall be equal to the management fee rate outlined in the Client Agreement from inception to
the termination date, less base fee payments. We may request the Custodian to deduct the fee from the
assets before restricting our authority.
Fee amounts will vary from account to account based on strategy implementation and size of the account.
The accounts utilizing the Option Strategy will have a fee of up to 2% of Assets Under Management
(“AUM”) and a fee of up to 20% performance fee as the standard with negotiations per client being
acceptable. Option strategy performance calculation is based on net opened and closed contracts during
the calendar month. This allows for simplicity of performance tracking based on a defined calendar
month’s transactions. The performance measurement has a high-water mark. Additions and withdrawals
increase or decrease the high-water mark. Performance measurement is not reset upon monthly
performance calculation date. Monthly performance does not account for the market value of open
contracts and securities that carry over to the following month or months, where closing transactions would
be reflected in the month they occur.
ITEM 7 - TYPES OF CLIENTS
Our Firm provides investment management, investment advice, financial planning, and third-party
portfolio management to for individuals, high-net-worth individuals and families, estates, trusts, retirement
plans.
Our Firm requires a minimum account value of $1,000,000 to provide advisory services. To reach
this account minimum, Clients can aggregate all household accounts. Exceptions may be
granted to this minimum for the Client's relationship with the representative.] Unless otherwise
instructed by the Client, we will aggregate related client accounts for the purposes of
determining the account size and annualized fee. The common practice is often referred to as
“house-holding” portfolios for fee purposes and may result in lower fees than if fees were
calculated on portfolios separately. Our method of house-holding accounts for fee purposes
looks at the overall family dynamic and relationship. When applicable, and noted in Exhibit A of
the Investment Management Agreement, legacy positions will also be excluded from the fee
calculation.
Clients must execute a written agreement with our Firm specifying the advisory services to establish a
Client arrangement with us.
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 12 OF 35
ITEM 8 - METHODS OF ANALYSIS, STRATEGIES, & RISK OF LOSS
METHODS OF ANALYSIS
Our Investment Advisory Representatives will generally use the following analysis methods to formulate
our investment advice and manage Client assets. However, each IAR can manage its Client’s account as
necessary, and their specific analysis method may vary from below. Clients should acknowledge that
investing in securities involves the risk of loss, regardless of the strategies, that Clients should be prepared
to bear.
CYCLICAL
In this type of technical analysis, we measure the movements of a particular stock against the overall market
to predict the security price movement.
CHARTING
In this type of technical analysis, we review market and security activity charts to identify when the market
is moving up or down and to predict how long the trend may last and when that trend might reverse.
Technical analysis does not consider the underlying financial condition of a company. This presents a risk
because a poorly managed or financially unsound company may underperform regardless of market
movement.
FUNDAMENTAL
Fundamental analysis attempts to identify stocks offering sturdy growth potential at a competitive price
by examining the underlying company's business and conditions within its industry or the broader
economy. Investors have traditionally used fundamental analysis for longer-term trades, relying on metrics
such as earnings per share, price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-earnings growth, and dividend yield.
MUTUAL FUND OR ETF
Our Firm examines the experience and track record of the Manager of the mutual fund or ETF to determine
if that Manager has demonstrated an ability to invest over a period of time and in different economic
conditions.
Our Firm also looks at the underlying assets in a mutual fund or ETF to determine if there is a significant
overlap in the underlying investments held in other funds in the Client’s portfolio. Our Firm also monitors
the funds or ETFs to determine if they continue to follow their stated investment strategy.
QUANTITATIVE
Our Firm uses a proprietary optimization model that takes historical price performance, quantitative risk
metrics, and several other data points as inputs and attempts to recommend securities that will enhance
the overall risk-reward characteristic of the whole portfolio.
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 13 OF 35
TECHNICAL
in charts. The charts are analyzed using various
indicators to make
Technical analysis is a form of security analysis that uses price and volume data, typically displayed
graphically
investment
recommendations. Technical analysis has three main principles and assumptions: (1) The market discounts
everything, (2) prices move in trends and countertrends, and (3) price action is repetitive, with specific
patterns reoccurring.
RISKS FOR ALL FORMS OF ANALYSIS
Our Firm’s securities analysis method relies on the assumption that the companies whose securities we
purchase and sell, the rating agencies that review these securities, and other publicly available sources of
information about these securities, are providing accurate and unbiased data. While we are alert to
indications that data may be incorrect, there is always a risk that the analysis may be compromised by
inaccurate or misleading information.
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Our Firm uses multiple investment strategies when managing Client assets and providing investment
advice:
LONG-TERM HOLDING
Our Firm purchases securities with the intent to hold them in the Client's account long-term (longer than
one year). In extreme circumstances, we may be forced to sell a fund completely within a year of buying
it. An example would be a fund Manager resigns, and we do not have confidence in the new management.
Also, fund positions may be trimmed occasionally to rebalance the portfolio.
A risk in a long-term purchase strategy is that holding the security for this length of time may decline in
value before we decide to sell. We do not guarantee the future performance of the account or any specific
level of performance, the success of any investment decision or strategy we may use, or the success of the
overall management of the account. The Client understands that the investment decisions our Firm makes
for the Client’s account are subject to various market, currency, economic, political, and business risks and
that those investment decisions will not always be profitable. Clients are reminded that investing in any
security entails the risk of loss, which they should be willing to bear.
STRATEGIC ASSET ALLOCATION
The primary investment strategy used by our Firm is based on the diversification of the Client's assets
among various investment vehicles and asset classes, popularly termed "Asset Allocation." Our Firm's
recommendations focus primarily on achieving a diversified portfolio of investment assets with desirable
risk and return characteristics. We meet regularly to evaluate new and reevaluate existing investment
opportunities. During these meetings, we deliberate on issues regarding the proper allocation of Client
assets based on current conditions.
TACTICAL ASSET ALLOCATION
Tactical asset allocation is an active management portfolio strategy that shifts the percentage of assets
held in various categories to take advantage of market pricing anomalies or strong market sectors. This
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 14 OF 35
strategy allows portfolio Managers to create extra value by taking advantage of certain situations in the
marketplace. It is a moderately active strategy since Managers return to the portfolio's original asset mix
once reaching the desired short-term profits.
VALUE INVESTING
Value investing is buying stocks that trade at a significant discount to their intrinsic value. Value investors
achieve this by looking for companies on cheap valuation metrics, typically low multiples of their profits or
assets, for reasons not justified over the longer term. This approach requires a contrarian mindset and a
long-term investment horizon.
Value investing seeks to exploit the irrational behavior of emotional investors. Emotion is a constant feature
of investment markets through time. While the companies available to stock market investors change from
decade to decade, the human nature of the investors does not. Fear and greed remain ever-present and
frequently lead to poor investment decisions based on perception and emotion rather than reality.
Periodically these miss pricings can become extreme (e.g., the tech bubble of the 1990s or, conversely,
the great depression of the 1930s); however, they exist to a greater or lesser extent in most markets. This
creates an opportunity for long-term value investors.
USE OF ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS
If deemed appropriate for your portfolio, our Firm may recommend "alternative investments.” Alternative
investments may include a broad range of underlying assets including hedge funds, private equity, venture
capital, registered, publicly traded securities, structured notes, and private real estate investment trusts.
Alternative investments are speculative, not suitable for all Clients, and intended for only experienced and
sophisticated investors who are willing to bear the high risk of the investment, which can include: loss of
all or a substantial portion of the investment due to leveraging, short-selling, or other speculative
investment practices; lack of liquidity in that there may be no secondary market for the fund and none
expected to develop; volatility of returns; potential for restrictions on transferring an interest in the fund;
potential lack of diversification and resulting higher risk due to concentration of trading authority with a
single adviser; absence of information regarding valuations and pricing; potential for delays in tax
reporting; less regulation and often higher fees than other investment options such as mutual funds. The
SEC requires investors to be accredited to invest in these more speculative alternative investments.
Investing in a fund concentrating on a few holdings may involve heightened risk and greater price volatility.
Valuation of alternatives investments is provided by an independent third party through the custodian.
DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL, SIGNIFICANT OR UNUSUAL RISKS
Our Firm generally invests client cash balances in money market funds, FDIC Insured Certificates of
Deposit, high-grade commercial paper and/or government backed debt instruments. Ultimately, our Firm
tries to achieve the highest return on client cash balances through relatively low-risk conservative
investments. In most cases, at least a partial cash balance will be maintained in a money market account
so that our Firm may debit advisory fees for our services related to our Asset Management and
Comprehensive Portfolio Management services, as applicable.
OPTION STRATEGY
Our Firm utilizes an Option Strategy that focuses on Naked Puts, Spreads, Long Calls and Covered Calls
in taxable and retirement accounts. This strategy utilizes a predetermined matrix of investment standards
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 15 OF 35
to determine the daily suitability and conformance with our range of acceptable criteria. These criteria
include pulling from a list of previously reviewed and approved stocks determined by conformance of
volume and pricing, review of recent performance of the underlying stock, acceptable stock price range,
Delta calculation for the specific strike price, conformance to a predetermined return calculation at the
time of acquisition, review of quarterly earning dates for the underlying stock, number of contracts based
on the size of the investment account, review of the margin requirements for individual transactions, and
minimum diversification of positions and ratio for each account.
RISK OF LOSS
A Client’s investment portfolio is affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest
rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic conditions, changes in laws, and national and
international political circumstances.
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. Our Firm will assist Clients in determining an
appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk.
While we are alert to indications that data may be incorrect, there is always a risk that our analysis may be
compromised by inaccurate or misleading information.
ACTIVE MANAGEMENT RISK
Due to its active management, a portfolio could underperform other portfolios with similar investment
objectives or strategies.
ALLOCATION RISK
A portfolio may use an asset allocation strategy to pursue its investment objective. There is a risk that a
portfolio’s allocation among asset classes or investments will cause a portfolio to lose value or cause it to
underperform other portfolios with a similar investment objective or strategy or that the investments
themselves will not produce the returns expected.
ALTERNATIVE RISK
Alternative investments include other additional risks. Lock-up periods and other terms obligate Clients to
commit their capital investment for a minimum period, typically no less than one or two years and
sometimes up to 10 or more years. Illiquidity is considered a substantial risk and will restrict the ability of
a Client to liquidate an investment early, regardless of the success of the investment. Alternative
investments are difficult to value within a Client’s total portfolio. There may be limited availability of
suitable benchmarks for performance comparison; historical performance data may also be limited.
In some cases, there may be a lack of transparency and regulation, providing an additional layer of risk.
Some alternative investments may involve the use of leverage and other speculative techniques. As a
result, some alternative investments may carry substantial additional risks, resulting in the loss of some or
all the investment. Using leverage and certain other strategies will result in adverse tax consequences for
tax-exempt investors, such as the possibility of unrelated business taxable income, as defined under the
U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 16 OF 35
CAPITALIZATION RISK
Small-cap and mid-cap companies may be hindered due to limited resources or less diverse products or
services. Their stocks have historically been more volatile than the stocks of larger, more established
companies.
CALL RISK
Some bonds allow the issuer to redeem the bond before its maturity date. If an issuer exercises this option
during declining interest rates, the proceeds from the bond may have to be reinvested in an investment
offering a lower yield and may not benefit from an increase in value due to declining rates. Callable bonds
are also subject to increased price fluctuations during market illiquidity or rising interest rates. Finally, the
capital appreciation potential of a bond will be reduced because the price of a callable bond may not rise
much above the price at which the issuer may call the bond.
COMPANY RISK
The risk related to a Firm’s business plans, stock valuation, profitability, accounting practices, growth
strategy, and other factors particular to a company rather than the overall market. Some of these risks
cannot be predicted, such as the retirement or death of a senior executive, which may lead to negative
performance in the future.
REAL ESTATE SECURITIES AND RELATED DERIVATIVES RISK
The Fund may gain exposure to the real estate sector by investing in real estate-linked derivatives, REITs,
and common, preferred, and convertible securities of issuers in real estate-related industries. Each of these
types of investments are subject to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate,
including loss to casualty or condemnation, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, zoning
law amendments, changes in interest rates, overbuilding and increased competition, variations in market
value, and possible environmental liabilities.
REITs are subject to management fees and other expenses, and so the Fund, when investing in REITs, will
bear its proportionate share of the costs of the REITs’ operations. An investment in a REIT or a real estate-
linked derivative instrument that is linked to the value of a REIT is subject to additional risks, such as inferior
performance by the manager of the REIT, adverse changes to the tax laws or failure by the REIT to qualify
for tax-free pass-through of income under the Code. In addition, some REITs have limited diversification
because they invest in a limited number of properties, a narrow geographic area, or a single type of
property. Furthermore, REITs are not diversified because they only operate in the real estate business and
are heavily dependent on cash flow. Also, the organizational documents of a REIT may contain provisions
that make changes in control of the REIT difficult and time-consuming.
CONCENTRATION RISK
Strategies concentrated in only a few securities, sectors or industries, regions or countries, or asset classes
could expose a portfolio to greater risk. They may cause the portfolio value to fluctuate more widely than
a diversified portfolio. Overexposure to certain sectors or asset classes (e.g., MLPs, REITs, etc.) may be
detrimental to an investor if there is a negative sector move.
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 17 OF 35
CREDIT RISK
The credit rating of an issuer of a security is based on, among other things, the issuer’s historical financial
condition and the rating agencies’ investment analyses at the time of rating. An actual or perceived
deterioration of the ability of an issuer to meet its obligations would harm the value of the issuer’s
securities.
CURRENCY RISK
If an account invests directly in non-U.S. currencies or in securities that trade in and receive revenues in
non-U.S. currencies or in derivatives that provide exposure to non-U.S. currencies, it will be subject to the
risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Currency rates in foreign countries
may fluctuate significantly over short periods for several reasons, including changes in interest rates,
intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks, or supranational
entities such as the International Monetary Fund, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political
developments in the United States or abroad. As a result, an account’s investments in non-U.S. currency-
denominated securities may reduce the account's returns. Foreign currency exchange transactions are
conducted on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market
or through entering forward contracts to purchase or sell the currency.
CYBERSECURITY RISK
Increased Internet use makes a portfolio susceptible to operational and informational security risks. In
general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Cyberattacks include
but are not limited to infection by computer viruses or other malicious software code, gaining unauthorized
access to systems, networks, or devices through “hacking” or other means to misappropriate assets or
sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cybersecurity failures or
breaches of third-party service providers may cause disruptions at third-party service providers and impact
our business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses; the inability to transact business; violations
of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, or penalties; reputational damage; unanticipated
expenses or other compensation costs; or additional compliance costs. Our Firm has an established
business continuity and disaster recovery plan and related cybersecurity procedures designed to prevent
or reduce the impact of such risks; there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems due in part to
the evolving nature of technology and cyberattack tactics.
DEFLATION RISK
When inflation or expectations are low, the value and income of an account’s investments in inflation-
linked securities could fall, resulting in losses.
EQUITY RISK
Equity instruments are subject to equity market risk, the risk that common stock prices fluctuate over short
or extended periods. Equity securities have greater price volatility than fixed-income securities. The market
price of equity securities may increase or decrease, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Equity securities
may decline in value due to factors affecting markets, industries, sectors or geographic regions
represented in those markets, or individual security concerns.
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 18 OF 35
EVENT RISK
The possibility is that an unforeseen event will negatively affect a company or industry and, thus, increase
security volatility.
EMERGING MARKETS RISK
The risks of foreign investing are heightened for securities of companies in emerging market countries. In
most cases, emerging market countries' economic and political structures do not compare favorably with
the U.S. or other developed countries regarding wealth and stability. Their financial markets often lack
liquidity. In addition to all the risks of investing in foreign developed markets, emerging market securities
are susceptible to governmental interference, local taxes on investments, restrictions on gaining access to
sales proceeds, and less efficient trading markets. These factors can make emerging market investments
more volatile and less liquid than investments in developed markets.
ETF & ETN RISK
ETFs and ETNs are, by definition, portfolios of securities. Although the unsystematic risk associated with
investments in ETFs and ETNs may be low relative to investments in securities of individual issuers, some
events can trigger sharp, and sometimes adverse, price movements in ETFs and ETNs unrelated to the
markets' general activities. These events include unexpected dividends, changes to regular dividend
amounts, announcements of rights offerings, and possible unexpected revisions to the net asset values of
the ETF and ETN. ETFs are subject to market risk, whereas ETNs are subject to both market risk and the
credit risk of the issuer of the ETN.
Further, certain Client accounts may hold (or short-sell) positions in volatility-related ETFs and ETNs.
Leveraged ETFs and mutual funds, sometimes labeled “ultra” or “2x,” for example, are designed to
provide a multiple of the underlying index’s return, typically daily. Inverse products are designed to
provide the opposite of the underlying index's return, typically daily. These products differ and can be
riskier than traditional ETFs and mutual funds. Although these products are designed to provide returns
that correspond to the underlying index, they may not be able to exactly replicate the performance of the
index because of fund expenses and other factors. This is referred to as a tracking error. Continual re-
setting of returns within the product may add to the underlying costs and increase the tracking error. As a
result, this may prevent these products from achieving their investment objective. In addition,
compounding of the returns can produce a divergence from the underlying index over time, particularly
for leveraged products. Return distortions may be magnified in highly volatile markets with significant
positive and negative swings. Some deviations from the stated objectives to the positive or negative are
possible and may or may not correct themselves over time. These products use various strategies to
accomplish their objectives, including swaps, futures contracts, and other derivatives. These products may
not be diversified and can be based on commodities or currencies. These products may have higher
expense ratios and be less tax-efficient than more traditional ETFs and mutual funds.
FIXED INCOME & DEBT RISK
Debt securities are affected by changes in interest rates. When interest rates rise, the value of debt
securities is likely to decrease. Conversely, when interest rates fall, the values of debt securities are likely
to increase. The values of debt securities may also be affected by changes in the issuing entities' credit
rating or financial condition.
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 19 OF 35
FOREIGN INVESTING RISK
Investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve risks, including adverse fluctuations in currency
exchange rates, political instability, confiscations, taxes, restrictions on currency exchange, difficulty in
selling foreign investments, and reduced legal protection. These risks may be more pronounced for
investments in developing countries.
FREQUENT TRADING RISK
A portfolio Manager may actively and frequently trade investments in a portfolio to carry out its investment
strategies. Frequent trading of investments increases the possibility that a portfolio, as relevant, will realize
taxable capital gains (including short-term capital gains, which are typically taxable at higher rates than
long-term capital gains for U.S. federal income tax purposes), which could reduce a portfolio's after-tax
return. Frequent trading can also mean higher brokerage and other transaction costs, which could reduce
a portfolio's return. The trading costs and tax effects of portfolio turnover can adversely affect its
performance.
INDUSTRY OR SECTOR RISK
An account that focuses its investments in specific industries or sectors is more susceptible to
developments affecting those industries and sectors than a more broadly diversified fund. Issuers in a
single industry can react similarly to market, economic, industry, social, political, regulatory, and other
conditions. For example, suppose an account has significant investments in technology companies. In that
case, the account may perform poorly during a downturn in one or more industries or sectors that heavily
impact technology companies.
INTEREST RATE RISK
When interest rates increase, the value of the account’s investments may decline, and the account’s share
value may decrease. This effect is typically more pronounced for intermediate and longer-term obligations.
This effect is also typically more pronounced for mortgages and other asset-backed securities since the
value may fluctuate more significantly in response to interest rate changes. When interest rates decrease,
the account’s current income may decline.
ISSUER RISK
The risk is that an issuer of a security may perform poorly, and therefore, the value of its securities may
decline. Poor management decisions, competitive pressures, technological breakthroughs, reliance on
suppliers, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures, natural disasters,
or other events, conditions, or factors may cause inferior performance.
LEGACY HOLDING RISK
Investment advice may be offered on any investment a Client holds at the start of the advisory relationship.
Depending on tax considerations and Client sentiment, these investments will be sold over time, and the
assets invested in the appropriate strategy. As with any investment decision, there is the risk that timing
with respect to the sale and reinvestment of these assets will be less than ideal or even result in a loss to
the Client.
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 20 OF 35
LIQUIDITY RISK
Low trading volume, large positions, or legal restrictions are some conditions that could limit or prevent a
portfolio from selling securities or closing positions at desirable prices. Securities that are relatively liquid
when acquired could become illiquid over time. The sale of any such illiquid investment might be possible
only at substantial discounts or might not be possible at all. Further, such investments may take more work
to value.
MANAGEMENT RISK
An account is subject to the risk that judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation
of the account’s investments may prove to be incorrect. If the selection of securities or strategies fails to
produce the intended results, the account could underperform other accounts with similar objectives and
investment strategies.
MARKET RISK
Even a long-term investment approach cannot guarantee a profit. Economic, political, and issuer-specific
events will cause the value of securities to rise or fall. Because the value of investment portfolios will
fluctuate, there is the risk that you will lose money, and your investment may be worth less upon
liquidation. Due to a lack of demand in the marketplace or other factors, an account may only be able to
sell some or all the investments promptly or may only be able to sell assets at desired prices.
MUNICIPAL BOND RISK
Investments in municipal bonds are affected by the municipal market and the factors in the cities, states,
or regions where the strategy invests. Issues such as legislative changes, litigation, business and political
conditions relating to a particular municipal project, municipality, state, or territory, and fiscal challenges
can impact the value of municipal bonds. These matters can also impact the ability of the issuer to make
payments. Also, the public information about municipal bonds is less than that for corporate equities or
bonds. Additionally, supply and demand imbalances in the municipal bond market can cause deterioration
in liquidity and a lack of price transparency.
MUTUAL FUND OR ETF RISK
Our models and accounts may use certain ETFs and mutual funds to invest primarily in alternative
investments or strategies. Investing in these alternative investments and strategies may only be suitable
for some of our Clients. These include special risks, such as those associated with commodities, real estate,
and leverage, selling securities short, use of derivatives, potential adverse market forces, regulatory
changes, and potential ill-liquidity. Special risks are associated with ETFs that invest principally in real
estate securities, such as sensitivity to changes in real estate values or changes in interest rates and price
volatility due to the ETF’s concentration in the real estate market.
The risks with mutual funds include the costs and expenses within the fund that can impact performance,
change of Managers, and the fund straying from its objective (i.e., style drift). Mutual funds have certain
costs associated with underlying transactions and operating costs, such as marketing and distribution
expenses and advisory fees. Mutual fund costs and expenses vary from fund to fund and will impact a
mutual fund’s performance. Additionally, mutual funds typically have different share classes, as further
discussed below, that trade at different Net Asset Values (“NAV”) as determined at the daily market close
and have different fees and expenses.
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 21 OF 35
NON-LIQUID ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT RISK
From time to time, our Firm will recommend to certain qualifying Clients that a portion of such Clients’
assets be invested in private funds, private fund-of-funds, or other alternative investments (collectively,
“Non-liquid Alternative Investments”). Non-liquid Alternative Investments are not suitable for all our Firm’s
Clients. They are offered only to those qualifying Clients for whom our Firm believes such an investment
is suitable and in line with their overall investment strategy. Non-liquid Alternative Investments typically
are available to only a limited number of sophisticated investors who meet the definition of “accredited
investor” under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or “qualified
Client” under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 or “qualified purchaser” under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. Non-liquid Alternative Investments present special risks for our Firm’s Clients,
including, without limitation, limited liquidity, higher fees and expenses, volatile performance, no
assurance of investment returns, heightened risk of loss, limited transparency, additional reliance on
underlying management of the investment, special tax considerations, subjective valuations, use of
leverage and limited regulatory oversight. When a Non-liquid Alternative Investment invests part or all of
its assets in real estate properties, there are additional risks that are unique to real estate investing,
including but not limited to: limitations of the appraisal value, the borrower’s financial conditions (if a loan
has obtained the underlying property), including the risk of foreclosures on the property; neighborhood
values; the supply of and demand for properties of like kind; and certain city, state or federal regulations.
Additionally, real estate investing is also subject to possible loss due to uninsured losses from natural and
artificial disasters. The above list is not exhaustive of all risks related to an investment in Non-liquid
Alternative Investments. A more comprehensive discussion of the risks associated with a particular Non-
liquid Investment is set forth in that fund’s offering documents, which will be provided to each Client
subscribing to a Non-liquid Alternative Investment for review and consideration. It is important that each
potential, qualified investor carefully read each offering or private placement memorandum before
investing.
OPTIONS RISK
Transactions in options carry a high degree of risk. A small market movement will have a proportionately
larger impact, which may work for or against the investor. The placing of certain orders, which are intended
to limit losses to certain amounts, may not be effective because market conditions may make it impossible
to execute such orders. Selling ("writing" or "granting") an option entails greater risk than purchasing
options. Although the premium received by the seller is fixed, the seller may sustain a loss well more than
that amount. The seller will also be exposed to the risk of the purchaser exercising the option and will be
obliged to settle it in cash or to acquire or deliver the underlying investment. The risk may be reduced if
the option is "covered" by the seller holding a corresponding position in the underlying investment or a
future on another option.
PERFORMANCE OF UNDERLYING MANAGER RISK
We select the mutual funds and ETFs in the asset allocation portfolios. However, we depend on the
Manager of such funds to select individual investments in accordance with their stated investment strategy.
PREPAYMENT RISK
Like call risk, this risk is associated with the early unscheduled principal repayment on a fixed-income
security. When the principal is returned early, future interest payments will not be paid. The proceeds from
the repayment may be reinvested in securities at a lower prevailing rate.
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 22 OF 35
REINVESTMENT RISK
The possibility of investing a bond’s cash flows at a rate lower than the expected rate of return assumed
at the time of buying the bond. Reinvestment risk is high for bonds with long maturities and high coupons.
SECTOR RISK
The danger is that the stocks of many companies in one sector (like health care or technology) will fall in
price simultaneously because of an event that affects the entire industry.
SHORT SALE RISK
A short sale is affected by selling a security that the seller does not own or selling a security that the seller
owns but which it does not deliver upon consummation of the sale. To make delivery to the buyer of a
security sold short, the prime broker or Custodian must borrow the security on behalf of the seller. In so
doing, it incurs the obligation to replace that security, whatever its price may be, at the time it is required
to deliver it to the lender. The seller must also pay to the lender of the security any dividends or interest
payable on the security during the borrowing period and may have to pay a premium to borrow the
security. This obligation must, unless the seller then owns or has the right to obtain, without payment,
securities identical to those sold short, be collateralized by a deposit of cash or marketable securities with
the lender. Short selling is subject to the theoretically unlimited risk of loss because there is no limit on
how much the price of a security may appreciate before the “short” position is closed out.
Further, short sales of securities involve a form of investment leverage, and the amount of the portfolio’s
potential loss is theoretically unlimited. See Borrowing and Leverage Risk.
SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE INVESTING & ESG RISK
Clients utilizing responsible investing strategies and environmental, social responsibility, and corporate
governance (ESG) factors may underperform strategies that do not utilize responsible investing and ESG
considerations. Responsible investing and ESG strategies may operate by excluding certain issuers'
investments or by selecting investments based on compliance with factors such as ESG. This strategy may
exclude certain sectors or industries from a Client’s portfolio, potentially negatively affecting the Client’s
investment performance if the excluded sector or industry outperforms. Responsible investing and ESG
are subjective by nature. Our Firm may rely on analysis and ‘scores’ provided by third parties in
determining whether an issuer meets our Firm’s standards for inclusion or exclusion. A Client’s perception
may differ from our Firm or a third party on how to judge an issuer's adherence to responsible investing
principles.
TIMING RISK
The risk is that the investment needs to perform better after its purchase or sale. Moreover, if the Client
requires redemption, the Client may face a loss due to poor overall market performance or security
performance at that time.
VALUE INVESTING RISK
Value investing risk is the risk that value stocks do not increase in price, not issue the anticipated stock
dividends, or decline in price, either because the market fails to recognize the stock’s intrinsic value or
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 23 OF 35
because the expected value was misgauged. If the market does not recognize that the securities are
undervalued, the prices of those securities might not appreciate as anticipated. They also may decline in
price even though they are already undervalued in theory. Value stocks are typically less volatile than
growth stocks but may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.
ITEM 9 - DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
Registered investment advisers are required to provide information about all disciplinary information that
would be material to a Client’s evaluation of our Firm or the integrity of its management. Clients should
refer to the Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement. If the Client did not receive the Advisor’s
Form ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement, the Client should contact the Chief Compliance Officer using
the information provided on the cover page of this Brochure. Our Chief Compliance Officer is available to
address any questions a Client or prospective client may have regarding the above or any information
outlined in this Brochure.
Our Firm has no legal or disciplinary events that are material to a Client or prospective clients, evaluation
of our advisory business, or the integrity of our management services.
ITEM 10 - OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES &
AFFILIATIONS
Clients should review our IARs Form ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement to determine whether the Client’s
IAR is engaged in any of the activities described below that may create a conflict of interest. If the Client
did not receive the Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement, the Client should contact the Firm’s
Chief Compliance Officer using the information on the cover page of this Brochure. The Chief Compliance
Officer is available to address any questions a Client or prospective client may have regarding any of the
below conflicts of interest, or any other information outlined in this Brochure.
INSURANCE COMPANIES
In their individual capacities, some of our Firm’s IARs are agents for various third-party insurance
companies. As such, these individuals may receive separate yet customary commission compensation for
implementing product transactions on our advisory Clients' behalf. Clients, however, are not obligated to
engage IARs when considering implementing advisory or insurance recommendations. Implementing any
or all recommendations is solely at the Client's discretion.
ITEM 11 - CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION & INTEREST IN
CLIENT TRANSACTIONS, & PERSONAL TRADING
Our Firm maintains a Code of Ethics to reinforce the fiduciary principles governing our Firm and its
employees. The Code, among other things, requires all employees to act with integrity and ethics, and
professionalism.
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 24 OF 35
Policies against overreaching, self-dealing, insider trading, and conflicts of interest are outlined in our
Code. Our Code forbids employees from trading, either personally or on behalf of others, based on non-
public material information or communicating non-public material information to others violating the law.
Additionally, our Code sets forth restrictions and quarterly attestations on receiving gifts, outside business
activities, personal trading activity, maintenance of personal brokerage accounts, and other matters. The
Code is appropriately designed and implemented to prevent or eliminate potential conflicts of interest
between our Firm, our employees and IARs, Clients, and investors. We always strive to make decisions in
our Client's best interest should a conflict of interest arise.
Clients should be aware that no set of rules, policies, or procedures can anticipate, avoid, or address all
potential conflicts of interest.
PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS & PERSONAL TRADING
Our employees, IARs, and our associated persons are not prohibited from owning or trading securities
bought, sold, and recommended to our Clients, provided such personal trading activity complies with the
parameters, limitations, and requirements of the Code. Employees, IARs, and associated persons must
receive approval from our Firm’s CCO when engaging in reportable securities transactions. Our CCO is
responsible for reviewing all employees', IARs, and associated persons' trading when they occur and
periodically reviewing trading activity. Our CCO has broad discretion to reject employee trading for any
reason. Our Firm’s policies and procedures related to the personal trading activity of employees aim to
demonstrate our commitment to placing Clients’ interests ahead of our trading interests.
While our Firm does not maintain a proprietary trading account and therefore does not have a direct
material financial interest in any securities it recommends to Clients, in certain situations, our Firm’s
employees and associated persons may purchase interests in the same securities at the same or different
portfolio percentages or risk levels, in which one or more Clients is investing or has invested. Conversely,
a Client may purchase interests in security where our employees, IARs, and associated persons are
investing or have invested.
Any exceptions to the Code require the prior approval of the CCO. We will provide a copy of the Code
to any Client or prospective client upon such written or verbal request. Such requests should be directed
to our Firm’s CCO at the contact information listed in Item 1 - Cover Page of this Brochure.
ITEM 12 - BROKERAGE PRACTICES
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Clients must maintain assets in an account with a “qualified Custodian,” a broker-dealer or bank. If our
Firm is asked to give a recommendation, our recommendation is based on the broker’s cost and fees,
skills, reputation, dependability, and compatibility with the Client. The Client may obtain lower
commissions and fees from other brokers.
CUSTODIAN(S)
We typically recommend that our Clients utilize Fidelity Advisor Services™ (formerly called Fidelity
Institutional®) (“Fidelity”), a registered broker-dealer, Member SIPC, as the qualified Custodian. Our
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 25 OF 35
Firm is independently owned, operated and unaffiliated with Fidelity. Fidelity will hold Client assets in a
brokerage account and buy and sell securities when our Firm instructs them.
While our Firm recommends that Clients use Fidelity as a Custodian, Clients must decide whether to do
so and open accounts with Fidelity by entering into account agreements directly with them. The Client
opens the accounts with Fidelity. The accounts will always be held in the Client's name and never in our
Firm’s.
HOW OUR FIRM SELECTS CUSTODIAN-BROKER
Our Firm seeks to recommend a Custodian-Broker who will hold Client assets and execute the transactions
on terms that are, overall, most advantageous compared to other available providers and their services.
Our Firm considers a wide range of factors, including, among others:
Combination of transaction execution and asset custody services (without a separate fee for custody).
• Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for Client accounts).
• Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers, check
requests, bill payments, etc.).
• The breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded
funds [ETFs], etc.).
• Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment decisions.
• Quality of services.
• Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, other fees, etc.) and willingness
to negotiate the prices.
• Reputation, financial strength, and stability.
• Prior service to our Firm and our other Clients.
Availability of other products and services that benefit our Firm, as discussed below (see “Products and
Services Available to Us from Fidelity”).
CLIENT BROKERAGE & CUSTODY COSTS
For Clients' accounts, Fidelity maintains and generally does not charge separately for custody services.
However, Fidelity receives compensation by charging ticket charges or other fees on trades it executes or
settling into Clients' Fidelity accounts. In addition to commissions, Fidelity charges a flat dollar amount as
a "prime broker" or "trade away" fee for each trade that our Firm has executed by a different broker-
dealer but where the securities bought or the funds from the securities sold are deposited (settled) into a
Client’s Fidelity account. These fees are in addition to the ticket charges or compensation the Client pays
the executing broker-dealer. Because of this, our Firm has Fidelity execute most trades for Client accounts
to minimize trading costs. Our Firm has determined that having Fidelity execute most trades is consistent
with our duty to seek the "best execution" of Client trades. Best execution means the most favorable
terms for a transaction based on all relevant factors, including those listed above (see How Our Firm Selects
Custodian-Broker).
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AVAILABLE TO US FROM FIDELITY
Fidelity provides independent investment advisory Firms and Clients with access to its institutional
brokerage, trading, custody, reporting, and related services, many of which are not typically available to
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 26 OF 35
Fidelity retail customers. Fidelity also makes available various support services. Some of those services
help us manage or administer our Clients’ accounts; others help us manage and grow our business.
Fidelity’s support services typically are available on an unsolicited basis and at no charge to our Firm.
These are typically considered soft dollar benefits because there is an incentive to do business with
Fidelity. Receiving soft dollar benefits creates a conflict of interest. We have established policies in this
regard to mitigate any conflicts of interest. We believe our selection of Fidelity as Custodian-Broker is in
the Clients' best interests. Our Firm will always act in the best interest of our Clients and act as fiduciary in
carrying out services to Clients. The following is a more detailed description of Fidelity’s support services:
SERVICES THAT BENEFIT OUR CLIENTS
Fidelity's institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products,
execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client assets. The investment products available
through Fidelity include some we might not otherwise have access to or would require a significantly
higher minimum initial investment by our Clients. Fidelity’s services described in this paragraph benefit
our Clients and their accounts.
SERVICES THAT MAY NOT DIRECTLY BENEFIT OUR CLIENTS
Fidelity also makes other products and services available that benefit our Firm but may not directly benefit
our Clients or their accounts. These products and services assist our Firm in managing and administering
our Clients’ accounts. They include investment research, both Fidelity’s own and that of third parties. Our
Firm may use this research to service all or a substantial number of our Client's accounts, including
accounts not maintained at Fidelity. In addition to investment research, Fidelity also makes available
software and other technology that:
• Provides access to Client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account
statements).
• Facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple Client accounts.
Provide pricing and other market data.
• Facilitate payment of our fees from our Clients’ accounts.
• Assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and Client reporting.
SERVICES THAT GENERALLY BENEFIT ONLY US
Fidelity also offers other services to help our Firm manage and further develop our business enterprise.
These services include:
• Educational conferences and events
• Consulting on technology, compliance, legal, and business needs
• Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession
• Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers
Fidelity may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party vendors to
provide the services to our Firm. Fidelity may also discount or waive its fees for some of these services or
pay all or a part of a third party’s fees. Fidelity may also provide our Firm with other benefits, such as
occasional business entertainment for our personnel.

OUR INTEREST IN FIDELITY’S SERVICES
• The availability of these services from Fidelity benefits our Firm because we do not have to
produce or purchase them. These services are not contingent upon our Firm committing any
specific amount of business to Fidelity in trading commissions. We believe our selection of
Fidelity as Custodian and Broker is in our Client’s best interests.
Some of the products, services, and other benefits provided by Fidelity benefit our Firm and may not
benefit our Client accounts. Our recommendation or requirement that you place assets in Fidelity's
custody may be based, in part, on the benefits Fidelity provides to our Firm or our Agreement to maintain
certain Assets Under Management at Fidelity and not solely on the nature, cost, or quality of custody and
execution services provided by Fidelity.
• Our Firm places trades for our Clients' accounts subject to its duty to seek the best execution
and other fiduciary duties. Fidelity's execution quality may be different from other broker-dealers.
Our Firm does not routinely recommend, request, or require that the Client direct us to execute the
transactions through a specified Custodian. Additionally, our Firm typically does not permit the Client to
direct brokerage. We place trades for Client accounts subject to our duty to seek the best execution and
other fiduciary duties.
• We will aggregate trades for ourselves or our associated persons with your trades, providing that
the following conditions are met:
o Our policy for the aggregation of transactions shall be fully disclosed separately to our
existing Clients (if any) and the broker/dealer(s) through which such transactions will be
placed.
o We will only aggregate transactions if we believe that aggregation is consistent with our
duty to seek the best execution (which includes the duty to seek the best price) for the
Client and is consistent with the terms of our investment advisory agreement.
o No advisory Client will be favored over any other Client; each Client that participates in
an aggregated order will participate at the average share price for all transactions in a
given security on a given business day, with transaction costs based on each Client's
participation in the transaction.
o Our Firm will prepare a written statement (“Allocation Statement”) specifying the
o
participating Client accounts and how to allocate the order among those Clients.
If the aggregated order is filled in its entirety, it will be allocated among Clients per the
allocation statement; if the order is partially filled, the accounts that did not receive the
previous trade's positions should be "first in line" to receive the next allocation.
o Notwithstanding the preceding, the order may be allocated on a basis different from that
specified if all Client accounts receive fair and equitable treatment. The reason for the
difference in allocation will be documented and reviewed by our Firm’s Compliance
Officer. Our Firm’s books and records will separately reflect, for each Client account, the
orders which are aggregated, and the securities held by and bought for that account.
o Our Firm will not receive additional compensation or remuneration of any kind because
o
of the proposed aggregation; and
Individual advice and treatment will be accorded to each advisory Client.

BROKERAGE FOR CLIENT REFERRALS
Our Firm does not receive Client referrals from any Custodian or third party in exchange for using that
broker-dealer or third party.
AGGREGATION & ALLOCATION OF TRANSACTIONS
Our Firm does not typically aggregate transactions; however, we may aggregate transactions if we believe
that aggregation is consistent with the duty to seek the best execution for our clients and is consistent
with the disclosures made to clients and terms defined in the client Investment Advisory Agreement. If
we do aggregate trades for ourselves or our associated persons with your trades, we will ensure that the
following conditions are met:
• When only a small percentage of the order is executed, with respect to purchase allocations,
allocations may be given to accounts high in cash.
• Concerning sale allocations, allocations may be given to accounts low in cash.
• We may allocate shares to the account with the smallest order, to the smallest position, or to an
account that is out of line concerning security or sector weightings relative to other portfolios
with similar mandates.
•
•
• We may allocate one account when that account has limitations in its investment guidelines
prohibiting it from purchasing other securities that we expect to produce similar investment
results, and other accounts can purchase that in the block.
If an account reaches an investment guideline limit and cannot participate in an allocation, we
may reallocate shares to other accounts. For example, this may be due to unforeseen changes in
an account's assets after placing an order.
If a pro-rata allocation of a potential execution would result in a de minimis allocation in one or
more account(s), we may exclude the account(s) from the allocation.
• Our Firm will document the reasons for any deviation from a pro-rata allocation.
In certain cases, client requests or specific needs will trigger an unplanned transaction in a security where
an aggregate transaction occurred previously during the day. Under these circumstances, client
transactions will be excluded from the block transaction and receive differing pricing.
TRADE ERRORS
Our Firm has implemented procedures designed to prevent trade errors; however, our Firm cannot always
avoid Client trade errors.
Consistent with our Firm's fiduciary duty, it is our Firm’s policy to correct trade errors in a manner that is
in the Client's best interest. In cases where the Client causes the trade error, the Client will be responsible
for any loss resulting from the correction. Depending on the specific circumstances of the trade error, the
Client may not be able to receive any gains generated due to the error correction. In all situations where
the Client does not cause the trade error, the Client will be made whole, and we would absorb any loss
resulting from the trade error if our Firm caused the error. If the Custodian causes the error, the Custodian
will cover all trade error costs. If an investment error results in a gain when correcting the trade, the gain
will be donated to charity. Our Firm will never benefit or profit from trade errors.

DIRECTED BROKERAGE
Our Firm does not routinely recommend, request, or require that the Client direct us to execute the
transaction through a specified broker-dealer. Additionally, our Firm typically does not permit the Client
to direct brokerage. Our Firm places trades for Client accounts subject to its duty to seek the best
execution and other fiduciary duties.
A retirement or ERISA plan client may direct all or part of portfolio transactions for its account through a
specific broker or dealer to obtain goods or services on the plan's behalf. Such direction is permitted
provided that the goods and services provided are reasonable expenses of the plan incurred in the
ordinary course of its business for which it otherwise would be obligated and empowered to pay. ERISA
prohibits directed brokerage arrangements when the goods or services purchased are not for the exclusive
benefit of the plan. Consequently, we will request that plan sponsors who direct plan brokerage provide
us with a letter documenting that this arrangement will be for the exclusive benefit of the plan.
ITEM 13 - REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
CLIENT REVIEWS
Our Firm reviews Client accounts and financial plans periodically. Our IARs will monitor Client accounts
regularly and perform annual reviews with each Client. All accounts are reviewed for consistency with
Client investment strategy, asset allocation, risk tolerance, and performance. More frequent reviews may
be triggered by changes in an account holder’s personal, tax, or financial status. Geopolitical and
macroeconomic-specific events may also trigger reviews. Our recommendations depend on the
information provided by the Client. Our Client must notify our Firm of any situation that would impair our
ability to manage our Client accounts properly.
The Client receives a copy of each trade confirmation (unless the Client has authorized the Custodian to
suppress the confirmations) and the standard written account statement from the qualified account
Custodian every quarter.
ITEM 14 - CLIENT REFERRALS & OTHER COMPENSATION
BROKERAGE PRACTICES
As disclosed under Item 12 Brokerage Practices, we participate in the Custodian’s institutional customer
programs, and we may recommend a Custodian to our Clients for custody and brokerage services. There
is no direct link between our participation in the program and the investment advice we give to our Clients.
However, we receive economic benefits through our participation in the program that is typically not
available to any other independent advisors participating in the program. These benefits include the
following products and services (provided without cost or at a discount):
• Receipt of duplicate Client statements and confirmations.
• Research-related products and tools.
• Consulting services.
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 30 OF 35
• Access to a trading desk serving adviser participants.
• Access to block trading (which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions for
execution and then allocate the appropriate shares to Client accounts);
• The ability to have advisory fees deducted directly from Client accounts.
• Access to an electronic communications network for Client order entry and account information.
• Access to mutual funds with no transaction fees and certain institutional money Managers.
• Discounts on compliance, marketing, research, technology, and practice management products
or services provided to us by third-party vendors.
Custodians may also have paid for business consulting and professional services received by some of our
IARs. Some of the products and services made available by Custodians through the program may benefit
us but may not benefit your account. These products or services may assist us in managing and
administering Client accounts, including accounts not maintained at our recommended Custodian. Other
services made available by the Custodian are intended to help us manage and further develop our
business enterprise. The benefits our Firm or our IARs receive through participation in the program do not
depend on the amount of brokerage transactions directed to the Custodian. Due to these arrangements,
our Client does not pay more for assets maintained at Fidelity. As part of our fiduciary duties to Clients,
we always endeavor to put our Client's interests first. Clients should be aware, however, that receiving
economic benefits from our Firm or our IARs in and of itself creates a conflict of interest because the cost
of these services would otherwise be borne directly by us. These arrangements could indirectly influence
our choice of Custodian for custody and brokerage services. Clients should consider these conflicts of
interest when selecting a Custodian. The products and services provided by the Custodian, how they
benefit us, and the related conflicts of interest are described above.
LEAD GENERATION & REFERRALS
CLIENT REFERRALS
Our Firm neither accepts nor pays fees for Client referrals. Further, we do not have any compensation
arrangements other than what is disclosed in this Brochure.
OTHER PROFESSIONALS
Our Firm may refer business to estate planning attorneys, accountants, insurance brokers, and other
professionals. However, we do not receive monetary or other material compensation for referring Clients
to such professionals. We also do not pay any person or firm commissions or other items of material value
when referring Clients to us. If we receive or offer an introduction to a Client, we do not pay or earn a
referral fee, nor are there established quid pro quo arrangements. Each Client can accept or deny such
referral or subsequent services.
ITEM 15 - CUSTODY
Regulators have defined custody as having access or control over Client funds or securities. As it applies
to our Firm, we do not have physical custody of funds or securities.
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 31 OF 35
FEE DEDUCTION
Our Firm is deemed to have constructive custody over those Client accounts where it can deduct our fees
directly from the Client account. If we comply with certain regulatory requirements, this constructive
custody does not mandate that our Firm undergo a surprise audit for those accounts. Our Clients receive
account statements directly from the qualified Custodian at least quarterly. Our Firm may send Clients
quarterly reports that our Firm produces using our portfolio accounting system, Advyzon.
We strongly urge our Clients to compare such reports with the statements received from the qualified
Custodian. Furthermore, when our Firm calculates our investment management fees and instructs the
Custodian to remit these fees to us directly from Clients’ accounts, the Custodian does not verify our
calculation of fees. Our Firm performs quarterly testing to ensure that our fees are charged per the Client’s
Investment Advisory Agreement on file with our Firm.
STANDING LETTERS OF AUTHORIZATION (“SLOA”)
Additionally, our Firm is deemed to have custody of the Client’s funds or securities when you have standing
authorizations with their Custodian to move money from your account to a third-party Standing Letter of
Authorization (“SLOA”) and, under that SLOA, it authorizes us to designate the amount or timing of
transfers with the Custodian. The SEC has set forth standards to protect your assets in such situations,
which we follow. We do not have a beneficial interest in any of the accounts we are deemed to have
Custody of where SLOAs are on file. In addition, account statements reflecting all activity on the account(s)
are delivered directly from the qualified Custodian to each Client or the Client’s independent
representative at least monthly. You should carefully review those statements and are urged to compare
the statements against reports received from us. When you have questions about your account statements,
contact us, your Advisor, or the qualified Custodian preparing the statement.
ITEM 16 - INVESTMENT DISCRETION
DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY
Upon receiving written authorization from the Client, our Firm provides discretionary investment advisory
services for Client accounts. For discretionary accounts, before engaging our Firm to provide investment
advisory services, you will enter into a written Investment Advisory Agreement with us granting our Firm
the authority to supervise and direct, on an ongoing basis, investments per the Client's investment
objective and guidelines. In addition, our Client will need to execute additional documents required by
the Custodian to authorize and enable our Firm, in its sole discretion, without prior consultation with or
ratification by our Client, to purchase, sell or exchange securities in and for your accounts. We are
authorized, at our discretion and without prior consultation with the Client, to (1) buy, sell, exchange, and
trade any stocks, bonds, or other securities or assets and (2) determine the amount of securities to be
bought or sold and (3) place orders with the Custodian. Any limitations to such discretionary authority will
be communicated to our Firm in writing by you, the Client.
The limitations on investment and brokerage discretion held by our Firm are:
• For discretionary accounts, we require that we be given the authority to determine which
securities and the amounts to be bought or sold.
PROSPER PRIVATE WEALTH
MARCH 2026_V.5 | PAGE 32 OF 35
• Any limitations on this discretionary authority shall be in writing as indicated in the Investment
Advisory Agreement. Clients may change or amend these limitations as required.
ITEM 17 - VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
PROXY VOTING
Our Firm cannot vote for Client securities. Clients will receive proxies or other solicitations directly from
the Custodian or a transfer agent. Clients are responsible for obtaining and voting proxies for all securities
maintained in their portfolios. We may provide advice to you regarding your voting of proxies. Clients can
contact our Firm with any questions or concerns about a particular solicitation.
CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS
Our Firm does not advise or instruct Clients on whether to participate as a member of class action lawsuits
and will not automatically file claims on the Client’s behalf. However, if a Client notifies us that they wish
to participate in a class action, we will provide the Client with transaction information about the Client’s
account that is required to file a proof of claim in a class action.
ITEM 18 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Our Firm has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet Client contractual and fiduciary
obligations and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. We do not require or solicit
prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per Client six months or more in advance. Therefore, we are not
required to include a balance sheet for the most recent fiscal year.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
PRIVACY POLICY
Our Firm collects non-public personal information about Clients from information received on applications
or other forms and information about Client transactions with firm affiliates, others, or our Firm. We do not
disclose any nonpublic personal information about current or former Clients except as permitted by law
or to provide services. Firm employees have limited access to Clients' data based on their responsibilities
to provide products or services to Clients.
Our Firm maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in compliance with federal standards
to protect Client information. If the IAR servicing a Client account leaves our Firm to join another firm, the
IAR is not permitted to retain copies of specific Client information.

A copy of our Firm's Privacy Policy is given to each Client at account opening, upon request, and provided
annually.
BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN
Our Firm has developed a Business Continuity Plan to address how our Firm will respond to events that
significantly disrupt the operation of our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions
are unpredictable, our Firm will be flexible in responding to current events as they occur.
Within 24 hours after a significant business disruption, our Firm plans to quickly recover and resume
business operations and respond by safeguarding employees and property, making a financial and
operational assessment, protecting our Firm’s books and records, and allowing Clients to transact
business. Given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption, our business continuity plan
is designed to permit our Firm to resume operations as quickly as possible.
Our Firm’s business continuity plan addresses data back-up and recovery; all mission critical systems;
financial and operational assessments; alternative communications with customers, employees, and
regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank, and counter-party
impact; regulatory reporting; and assuring Clients’ prompt access to their funds and securities if our Firm
is unable to continue as a business.
Our Firm backs up essential records in a geographically separate area. At the same time, every emergency
poses unique problems based on external factors, such as the time of day and the severity of the
disruption. Its objective is to restore operations and be able to complete existing transactions and accept
new transactions and payments within four hours of the disruptive event. Client orders and requests for
funds and securities could be delayed during this period.
CONTACTING US
If a Client cannot contact our Firm via 888.404.3042 after a significant business disruption, please visit the
website at www.prosperpw.com to review updated contact information.
VARYING DISRUPTIONS
Significant business disruptions can vary in scope, such as disruption that affects only our Firm, a single
building housing our Firm, the business district where our Firm is located, the city where our Firm is
located, or the whole region. Within each area, the disruption's severity can also vary from minimal to
severe. In a disruption to only our Firm or a building housing our Firm, our Firm will transfer operations to
a local site when needed and expect to recover and resume business within 24 hours.
instructions on contacting our Firm

In a disruption affecting our Firm’s business district, city, or region, our Firm will transfer operations to a
site outside the affected area and recover and resume business within three (3) days. In either situation,
our Firm plans to continue the business, transfer operations to its clearing firm if necessary, and provide
its parent company’s website:
