Introduction
The investment advisory services of R2 Wealth Management Partners are provided to you through an
appropriately licensed and qualified individual who is an investment adviser representative of R2 Wealth
Management Partners (referred to as your investment adviser representative throughout this brochure).
Description of Advisory Services
The following are descriptions of the primary advisory services of R2 Wealth Management Partners.
Please understand that a written agreement, which details the exact terms of the service, must be signed
by you and R2 Wealth Management Partners before we can provide the services described below.
Asset Management Services
R2 Wealth Management Partners offers asset management services, which involve R2 Wealth
Management Partners providing you with continuous and ongoing supervision over your specified
accounts.
You must appoint our firm as your investment adviser of record on specified accounts (collectively, the
“Account”). The Account consists only of separate account(s) held by qualified custodian(s) under your
name. The qualified custodians maintain physical custody of all funds and securities of the Account, and
you retain all rights of ownership (e.g., right to withdraw securities or cash, exercise or delegate proxy
voting and receive transaction confirmations) of the Account.
The Account is managed by us based on your financial situation, investment objectives and risk
tolerance. We actively monitor the Account provide investment advice and/or make investment decisions
(if investment discretion is authorized in the client agreement) regarding buying, selling, reinvesting or
holding securities, cash or other investments of the Account.
We will need to obtain certain information from you to determine your financial situation and investment
objectives. You will be responsible for notifying us of any updates regarding your financial situation, risk
tolerance or investment objective and whether you wish to impose or modify existing investment
restrictions; however, we will contact you at least annually to discuss any changes or updates regarding
your financial situation, risk tolerance or investment objectives. We are always reasonably available to
R2 Capital Strategies, LLC
Page 4
Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
consult with you relative to the status of your Account. You have the ability to impose reasonable
restrictions on the management of your accounts, including the ability to instruct us not to purchase
certain securities.
It is important that you understand that we manage investments for other clients and may give them
advice or take actions for them or for our personal accounts that is different from the advice we provide to
you or actions taken for you. We are not obligated to buy, sell or recommend to you any security or other
investment that we may buy, sell or recommend for any other clients or for our own accounts.
Conflicts may arise in the allocation of investment opportunities among accounts that we manage. We
strive to allocate investment opportunities believed to be appropriate for your account(s) and other
accounts advised by our firm among such accounts equitably and consistent with the best interests of all
accounts involved. However, there can be no assurance that a particular investment opportunity that
comes to our attention will be allocated in any particular manner. If we obtain material, non-public
information about a security or its issuer that we may not lawfully use or disclose, we have absolutely no
obligation to disclose the information to any client or use it for any client’s benefit.
At our sole discretion, we may waive the fees for financial planning services for certain clients who are
already receiving asset management services from us.
Retirement Plan Rollover Recommendations
When R2 Wealth Management Partners provides investment advice about your retirement plan account
or individual retirement account (“IRA”) including whether to maintain investments and/or proceeds in the
retirement plan account, roll over such investment/proceeds from the retirement plan account to a IRA or
make a distribution from the retirement plan account, we acknowledge that R2 Wealth Management
Partners is a “fiduciary” within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
(“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) as applicable, which are laws governing retirement
accounts. The way R2 Wealth Management Partners makes money creates conflicts with your interests
so R2 Wealth Management Partners operates under a special rule that requires R2 Wealth Management
Partners to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of you.
Under this special rule’s provisions, R2 Wealth Management Partners must act as a fiduciary to a
retirement plan account or IRA under ERISA/IRC:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (e.g.,
give prudent advice);
Never put the financial interests of R2 Wealth Management Partners ahead of you when
making recommendations (e.g., give loyal advice);
Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that R2 Wealth Management Partners
gives advice that is in your best interest;
Charge no more than is reasonable for the services of R2 Wealth Management Partners;
and
Give Client basic information about conflicts of interest.
To the extent we recommend you roll over your account from a current retirement plan account to an
individual retirement account managed by R2 Wealth Management Partners, please know that R2 Wealth
Management Partners and our investment adviser representatives have a conflict of interest.
R2 Capital Strategies, LLC
Page 5
Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
We can earn increased investment advisory fees by recommending that you roll over your account at the
retirement plan to an IRA managed by R2 Wealth Management Partners. We will earn fewer investment
advisory fees if you do not roll over the funds in the retirement plan to an IRA managed by R2 Wealth
Management Partners.
Thus, our investment adviser representatives have an economic incentive to recommend a rollover of
funds from a retirement plan to an IRA which is a conflict of interest because our recommendation that
you open an IRA account to be managed by our firm can be based on our economic incentive and not
based exclusively on whether or not moving the IRA to our management program is in your overall best
interest.
We have taken steps to manage this conflict of interest. We have adopted an impartial conduct standard
whereby our investment adviser representatives will (i) provide investment advice to a retirement plan
participant regarding a rollover of funds from the retirement plan in accordance with the fiduciary status
described below, (ii) not recommend investments which result in R2 Wealth Management Partners
receiving unreasonable compensation related to the rollover of funds from the retirement plan to an IRA,
and (iii) fully disclose compensation received by R2 Wealth Management Partners and our supervised
persons and any material conflicts of interest related to recommending the rollover of funds from the
retirement plan to an IRA and refrain from making any materially misleading statements regarding such
rollover.
When providing advice to your regarding a retirement plan account or IRA, our investment advisor
representatives will act with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then
prevailing that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the
conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims, based on the investment objectives, risk,
tolerance, financial circumstances, and a client’s needs, without regard to the financial or other interests
of R2 Wealth Management Partners or our affiliated personnel.
Variable Sub-Account Management Services
As part of our Asset Management Services, R2 Wealth Management Partners manages your variable
annuity or variable life contract by selecting, monitoring and exchanging as necessary between sub-
accounts available from the insurance company issuing the variable annuity or variable life contract.
We assist you in completing a questionnaire which details your financial goals, risk tolerance and time
horizon. You will have the opportunity to list on your investment advisory agreement with our firm any
reasonable restrictions on the sub-accounts that may be utilized by R2 Wealth Management Partners.
You will be responsible for notifying us of any updates regarding your financial situation, risk tolerance or
investment objective and whether you wish to impose or modify existing investment restrictions; however,
we will contact you at least annually to discuss any changes or updates regarding your financial situation,
risk tolerance or investment objectives.
Once you have provided us with the necessary information and made the appropriate authorizations, R2
Wealth Management Partners utilizes trading authority to place the transactions as directed by you. R2
Wealth Management Partners may utilize signal providers for guidance regarding investment strategies,
asset allocations and timing of exchanges. R2 Wealth Management Partners will monitor your sub-
accounts and exchange sub-accounts as necessary and in accordance with your investment objective
and risk tolerance.

financial plan covering specific or multiple topics. We provide full written financial plans, which typically

education for dependents. This service usually takes one hour per year.

above. This service usually takes one to two hours per month.

framework of their risk tolerance. This service usually takes one to two hours per month.
Real Estate Planning – We will assist clients in review of cash flows to identifying Internal Rate of Return
for an investment property. This service usually takes one hour per year.
When providing financial planning services, our role is to find ways to help you understand your overall
financial situation and help you set financial objectives. We also provide modular written financial plans,
which only cover those specific areas of concern mutually agreed upon by you and us. A modular written
financial plan is limited or segmented and does not involve the creation of a full written financial plan.
You should be aware that there are important issues that may not be taken into consideration when your
investment adviser representative develops his or her analysis and recommendations under a modular
written financial plan. Written financial plans prepared by us do not include specific recommendations of
individual securities.
Our financial planning services do not involve implementing any transaction on your behalf or the active
and ongoing monitoring or management of your investments or accounts. You have the sole
responsibility for determining whether to implement our financial planning recommendations. To the
extent that you would like to implement any of our investment recommendations through R2 Wealth
Management Partners or retain R2 Wealth Management Partners to actively monitor and manage your
R2 Capital Strategies, LLC

investments, you must execute a separate written agreement with R2 Wealth Management Partners for
our asset management services.

listed above that it is acting as a “fiduciary” as such term is defined under Section 3(21)(A)(ii) of Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) for purposes of providing non-discretionary investment

Management Partners to be a fiduciary as a matter of law. However, in providing the Fiduciary
Consulting Services, R2 Wealth Management Partners (a) has no responsibility and will not (i) exercise
any discretionary authority or discretionary control respecting management of Client’s retirement plan, (ii)

continuous and ongoing supervision over the designated retirement plan assets. R2 Wealth

Non-Fiduciary Services
Although an investment adviser is considered a fiduciary under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and
required to meet the fiduciary duties as defined by the Advisers Act, the services listed here as non-
fiduciary should not be considered fiduciary services for the purposes of ERISA since Advisor is not
acting as a fiduciary to the Plan as the term “fiduciary” is defined in Section 3(21)(A)(ii) of ERISA. The
R2 Capital Strategies, LLC
Page 9

exact suite of services provided to a client will be listed and detailed in the Qualified Retirement Plan
Agreement.
R2 Wealth Management Partners provides clients with the following Non-Fiduciary Retirement Plan
Consulting Services:
• Participant Education. R2 Wealth Management Partners will provide education services to Plan
participants about general investment principles and the investment alternatives available under
the Plan. R2 Wealth Management Partners’ assistance in participant investment education will
be consistent with and within the scope of DOL Interpretive Bulletin 96-1. Education
presentations will not take into account the individual circumstances of each participant and
individual recommendations will not be provided unless otherwise agreed upon. Plan participants

diligence reviews of your Plan’s fees and expenses and your Plan’s service providers.

performance reports, services agreements with investment management vendors, the investment
policy statement, investment committee minutes, asset allocation/asset liability studies, due
diligence fields on funds/money managers and monitoring procedures for funds and/or money
managers.
• Benchmarking. R2 Wealth Management Partners will provide you benchmarking services and
will provide analysis concerning the operations of the Plan.
We can also meet with individual participants to discuss their specific investment risk tolerance,
investment time frame and investment selections.
Securities and other types of investments all bear different types and levels of risk. Those risks are
typically discussed with clients in defining the investment policies and objectives that will guide
investment decisions for their qualified plan accounts. Upon request, as part of our retirement plan
services, we can discuss those investments and investment strategies that we believe may tend to
reduce these risks for a particular client’s circumstances and plan participants.
Clients and plan participants must realize that obtaining higher rates of return on investments entails
accepting higher levels of risk. Based upon discussions with the client, we will attempt to identify the
balance of risks and rewards that is appropriate and comfortable for the client and other employees. It is
still the clients’ responsibility to ask questions if the client does not fully understand the risks associated
with any investment. All plan participants are strongly encouraged to read prospectuses, when
applicable, and ask questions prior to investing.
We strive to render our best judgment for clients. Still, R2 Wealth Management Partners cannot assure
that investments will be profitable or assure that no losses will occur in their portfolios. Past performance

is an important consideration with respect to any investment or investment advisor, but it is not
necessarily an accurate predictor of future performance.
R2 Wealth Management Partners will disclose, to the extent required by ERISA Regulation Section
2550.408b-2(c), to you any change to the information that we are required to disclose under ERISA
Regulation Section 2550.408b-2(c)(1)(iv) as soon as practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days from the
date on which we are informed of the change (unless such disclosure is precluded due to extraordinary
circumstances beyond our control, in which case the information will be disclosed as soon as practicable).
In accordance with ERISA Regulation Section 2550.408b-2(c)(vi)(A), we will disclose within thirty (30)
days following receipt of a written request from the responsible plan fiduciary or Plan Administrator
(unless such disclosure is precluded due to extraordinary circumstances beyond our control, in which
case the information will be disclosed as soon as practicable) all information related to the Qualified
Retirement Plan Agreement and any compensation or fees received in connection with the Agreement
that is required for the Plan to comply with the reporting and disclosure requirements of Title 1 of ERISA
and the regulations, forms and schedules issued thereunder.
If we make an unintentional error or omission in disclosing the information required under ERISA
Regulation Section 2550.408b-2(c)(1)(iv) or (vi), we will disclose to you the correct information as soon as
practicable, but no later than thirty (30) days from the date on which we learn of such error or omission.

R2 Wealth Management Partners’ advisory services are always provided based on your individual needs.
This means, for example, that when we provide asset management services, you are given the ability to

sectors. We work with you on a one-on-one basis through interviews and questionnaires to determine
your investment objectives and suitability information. Our financial planning services are always
provided based on your individual needs. When providing financial planning services, we work with you
on a one-on-one basis through interviews and questionnaires to determine your investment objectives
and suitability information.

objectives may be considered incompatible with our investment philosophy or strategies or where the
prospective client seeks to impose unduly restrictive investment guidelines. Client Assets Managed by R2

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
In addition to the information provided in Item 4 – Advisory Business, this section provides additional
details regarding our firm’s services along with descriptions of each service’s fees and compensation
arrangements. It should be noted that lower fees for comparable service may be available from other
sources. The exact fees and other terms will be outlined in the agreement between you and R2 Wealth
Management Partners.
Asset Management Services
Fees charged for our asset management services are charged based on a percentage of assets under
management, billed in advance (at the start of the billing period) on a quarterly calendar basis and
calculated based on the fair market value of your account as of the last business day of the previous
billing period. Fees are prorated (based on the number of days service is provided during the initial billing
period) for your account opened at any time other than the beginning of the billing period. If asset
management services are commenced in the middle of a billing period, the prorated fee for the initial
billing period is billed in arrears at the same time as the next full billing period’s fee is billed.
In the event that a deposit in excess of $10,000 occurs during a billing period after the fee calculation, the
fee for the billing period will be recalculated at the end of the billing period and R2 Wealth Management
Partners will bill a second fee pro-rata, in arrears, on the additional deposits. In the event that a
withdrawal in excess of $10,000 occurs during a billing period after the fee calculation, the fee for that
billing period will be recalculated at the end of the billing period and you will be refunded the pro-rate fee
that was attributable to the amount of the withdrawal.
The asset management services continue in effect until terminated by either party (i.e., R2 Wealth
Management Partners or you) by providing 30-day written notice of termination to the other party. Any
prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded by R2 Wealth Management Partners to you. Fee
refunds will be determined on a pro rata basis using the number of days services are actually provided
during the final period.
Fees charged for our asset management services are negotiable based on the type of client, the
complexity of the client's situation, the composition of the client's account (i.e., equities versus mutual
funds), the potential for additional account deposits, the relationship of the client with the investment
adviser representative, and the total amount of assets under management for the client. Accounts under
the same household will be aggregated for a discounted fee.
The following is the standard fee schedule of R2 Wealth Management Partners, and the exact annual fee
will be specified in the client’s written agreement with us.

Client will not pay the annual fee for each tier once the next threshold is met. There is no minimum
account size or minimum annual fee.
R2 Wealth Management Partners believes that its annual fee is reasonable in relation to: (1) services
provided and (2) the fees charged by other investment advisers offering similar services/programs.
However, our annual investment advisory fee may be higher than that charged by other investment
advisers offering similar services/programs. In addition to our compensation, you may also incur charges
imposed at the mutual fund level (e.g., advisory fees and other fund expenses).
R2 Wealth Management Partners allows each Investment Adviser Representative to set advisory fees
within ranges provided by R2 Wealth Management Partners. As a result, your Investment Adviser
Representative may charge more or less for the same service than another Investment Adviser
Representative of R2 Wealth Management Partners.
You can choose how to pay your investment advisory fees. The investment advisory fees can be
deducted from your account and paid directly to our firm by the qualified custodian(s) of your account or
you can pay our firm upon receipt of a billing notice sent directly to you.
If you choose to have the investment advisory fees deducted from your account, you must authorize the
qualified custodian(s) of your account to deduct fees from your account and pay such fees directly to R2
Wealth Management Partners.
If you choose to pay the fees after receiving a statement, fees are due upon your receipt of a billing notice
sent directly to you. The billing notice will detail the formula used to calculate the fee, the assets under
management and the time period covered. Fees for the services of our firm will be due immediately after
your receipt of the billing notice.
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.
Brokerage commissions and/or transaction ticket fees charged by the qualified custodian are billed
directly to you by the qualified custodian. R2 Wealth Management Partners does not receive any portion
of such commissions or fees from you or the qualified custodian. In addition, you may incur certain
charges imposed by third parties other than R2 Wealth Management Partners in connection with
investments made through your account including, but not limited to, mutual fund sales loads, 12(b)-1
fees and surrender charges, variable annuity fees and surrender charges, IRA and qualified retirement
plan fees, and charges imposed by the qualified custodian(s) of your account. Management fees charged
by R2 Wealth Management Partners are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by
investment company securities that may be recommended to you. A description of these fees and
expenses are available in each investment company security’s prospectus.
Our fees for financial planning services may be waived at our sole discretion if you engage our firm for
asset management services.

Financial Planning Services
Fees charged for our financial planning services are negotiable based upon whether the client is utilizing
our asset management services, the type of client, the services requested, the complexity of the client's
situation, the composition of the client's account, other advisory services provided and the relationship of
the client and the investment adviser representative. The following are the fee arrangements available for
financial planning services offered by R2 Wealth Management Partners.
Fees for Financial Planning Services
R2 Wealth Management Partners provides financial planning services under an hourly fee arrangement.
An hourly fee of $200 per hour is charged by R2 Wealth Management Partners for financial planning
services under this arrangement. Before commencing financial planning services, R2 Wealth
Management Partners provides an estimate of the approximate hours needed to complete the requested
financial planning services. If R2 Wealth Management Partners anticipates exceeding the estimated
amount of hours required, R2 Wealth Management Partners will contact you to receive authorization to
provide additional services. You will pay in advance a mutually agreed upon retainer that will be available
for R2 Wealth Management Partners to bill hourly fees against for our financial planning services;
however, under no circumstances will R2 Wealth Management Partners require you to pay fees more
than $500 more than six months in advance. Any unpaid hourly fees are due immediately upon
completion and delivery of the financial plan. The standard billing dates and events of R2 Wealth
Management Partners are the following: (1) the first business day of each month; (2) the date when
incurred hourly fees and expenses will cause the retainer balance to be depleted to zero; (3) the date or
thereafter that R2 Wealth Management Partners substantially provides the agreed upon services; and (4)
the date the engagement is terminated by either you or R2 Wealth Management Partners. Upon
presentment of the invoice to you, R2 Wealth Management Partners will deduct the hourly fees due R2
Wealth Management Partners against your current retainer balance and you are required to pay
immediately R2 Wealth Management Partners any outstanding balance of hourly fees due.
R2 Wealth Management Partners also provides financial planning services under a fixed fee
arrangement. A mutually agreed upon fixed fee is charged for financial planning services under this
arrangement. The minimum fixed fee is generally $250 and the maximum fixed fee is generally no more
than $1,000. The amount of the fixed fee for your engagement is specified in your financial planning
agreement with R2 Wealth Management Partners. At our sole discretion, you may be required to pay in
advance a portion of the fixed fee at the time you execute an agreement with R2 Wealth Management
Partners; however, at no time will R2 Wealth Management Partners require payment of more than $1200
in fees more than six months in advance. Upon completion and delivery of the financial plan, the fixed fee

Management Partners. In the event that there is a remaining balance of any fees paid in advance after
the deduction of fees from the final invoice, those remaining proceeds will be refunded by R2 Wealth
Management Partners to you. If you are not satisfied with the financial plan prepared by R2 Wealth
Management Partners, we may waive our fee; however, in such a situation, R2 Wealth Management

authorization to R2 Wealth Management Partners for such charge.
You should notify R2 Wealth Management Partners immediately if you have questions about or dispute
any billing entry.

insurance agent, implement the recommendations of R2 Wealth Management Partners, your investment
adviser representative at his or her discretion may waive or reduce the investment advisory fee charged
for these services by the amount of the commissions received by your investment adviser representative
as an insurance agent. Any reduction of the investment advisory fee will not exceed 100% of the

All fees paid to R2 Wealth Management Partners for financial planning services are separate and distinct
from the commissions charged by a broker-dealer or asset management fees charged by an investment
adviser to implement such recommendations.
It should be noted that lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources.

or indirect, for its Services. If we receive any other compensation for such services, we will (i) offset that
compensation against our stated fees, and (ii) will disclose the amount of such compensation, the
services rendered for such compensation and the payer of such compensation to you.
Fees For Retirement Plan Services
For retirement plan sponsor clients, R2 Wealth Management Partners will charge an annual fee that is

of the plan, the size of the plan assets, the actual services requested, the representative providing the

R2 Wealth Management Partners utilizes several Plan Administrators/custodians to provide
recordkeeping and custody services for our Plans. The size and type of Plan determines which Plan
Administrator will be used.
Fees for Plans will be billed in advance on a monthly basis and calculated based on the average daily
balance of your account during the current billing period or calculated based on the fair market value of
your account as of the last business day of the current billing period. The billing method is determined by
the Plan Administrator for your account. Fees are prorated (based on the number of days service is
provided during the initial billing period) for your account opened at any time other than the beginning of
the billing period. Advisory fees are debited and paid to R2 Wealth Management Partners by the Plan
Administrator.
Clients can elect to have the fee deducted from their account or billed directly and due upon receipt of the
billing notice. If clients elect to have the fee automatically deducted from an existing account, they are

statement.
Either party may terminate services by providing 30-day written notice of termination to the other party. If
services are terminated within five business days of signing the client agreement, services are terminated
without penalty. Since Plan fees are charged in arrears, the fee is prorated for advisory services provided
up to the termination date and charged to the Plan.
R2 Wealth Management Partners does not reasonably expect to receive any other compensation, direct
or indirect, for its services. If we receive any other compensation for such services, we will (i) offset that

Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
R2 Wealth Management Partners uses the following methods of analysis in formulating investment
advice:
Charting - This is a set of techniques used in technical analysis in which charts are used to plot
price movements, volume, settlement prices, open interest, and other indicators, in order to
anticipate future price movements. Users of these techniques, called chartists, believe that past
trends in these indicators can be used to extrapolate future trends.
Charting is likely the most subjective analysis of all investment methods since it relies on proper
interpretation of chart patterns. The risk of reliance upon chart patterns is that the next day's data
can always negate the conclusions reached from prior days' patterns. Also, reliance upon chart
patterns bears the risk of a certain pattern being negated by a larger, more encompassing pattern
that has not shown itself yet.
Cyclical – This method analyzes the investments sensitive to business cycles and whose
performance is strongly tied to the overall economy. For example, cyclical companies tend to
make products or provide services that are in lower demand during downturns in the economy
and in higher demand during upswings. Examples include the automobile, steel, and housing
industries. The stock price of a cyclical company will often rise just before an economic upturn
begins and fall just before a downturn begins. Investors in cyclical stocks try to make the largest
gains by buying the stock at the bottom of a business cycle, just before a turnaround begins.
While most economists and investors agree that there are cycles in the economy that need to be
respected, the duration of such cycles is generally unknown. An investment decision to buy at
the bottom of a business cycle may actually turn out to be a trade that occurs before or after the
bottom of the cycle. If done before the bottom, then downside price action can result prior to any
gains. If done after the bottom, then some upside price action may be missed. Similarly, a sell
decision meant to occur at the top of a cycle may result in missed opportunity or unrealized
losses.
Fundamental – This is a method of evaluating a security by attempting to measure its intrinsic
value by examining related economic, financial and other qualitative and quantitative factors.
Fundamental analysts attempt to study everything that can affect the security's value, including
macroeconomic factors (like the overall economy and industry conditions) and individually
specific factors (like the financial condition and management of a company). The end goal of
performing fundamental analysis is to produce a value that an investor can compare with the
security's current price in hopes of figuring out what sort of position to take with that security
(underpriced = buy, overpriced = sell or short). Fundamental analysis is considered to be the
opposite of technical analysis. Fundamental analysis is about using real data to evaluate a
R2 Capital Strategies, LLC
Page 20
Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
security's value. Although most analysts use fundamental analysis to value stocks, this method of
valuation can be used for just about any type of security.
The risk associated with fundamental analysis is that it is somewhat subjective. While a
quantitative approach is possible, fundamental analysis usually entails a qualitative assessment
of how market forces interact with one another in their impact on the investment in question. It is
possible for those market forces to point in different directions, thus necessitating an
interpretation of which forces will be dominant. This interpretation may be wrong and could
therefore lead to an unfavorable investment decision.
Technical – This is a method of evaluating securities by analyzing statistics generated by market
activity, such as past prices and volume. Technical analysts do not attempt to measure a
security's intrinsic value, but instead use charts and other tools to identify patterns that can
suggest future activity. Technical analysts believe that the historical performance of stocks and
markets are indications of future performance.
Technical analysis is even more subjective than fundamental analysis in that it relies on proper
interpretation of a given security's price and trading volume data. A decision might be made
based on a historical move in a certain direction that was accompanied by heavy volume;
however, that heavy volume may only be heavy relative to past volume for the security in
question, but not compared to the future trading volume. Therefore, there is the risk of a trading
decision being made incorrectly, since future trading volume is an unknown. Technical analysis
is also done through observation of various market sentiment readings, many of which are
quantitative. Market sentiment gauges the relative degree of bullishness and bearishness in a
given security, and a contrarian investor utilizes such sentiment advantageously. When most
traders are bullish, then there are very few traders left in a position to buy the security in question,
so it becomes advantageous to sell it ahead of the crowd. When most traders are bearish, then
there are very few traders left in a position to sell the security in question, so it becomes
advantageous to buy it ahead of the crowd. The risk in utilization of such sentiment technical
measures is that a very bullish reading can always become more bullish, resulting in lost
opportunity if the money manager chooses to act upon the bullish signal by selling out of a
position. The reverse is also true in that a bearish reading of sentiment can always become more
bearish, which may result in a premature purchase of a security.
There are risks involved in using any analysis method.
Investment Strategies
R2 Wealth Management Partners uses the following investment strategies when managing client assets
and/or providing investment advice:
Long term purchases. Investments held at least a year.
Short term purchases. Investments sold within a year.
Frequent trading. This strategy refers to the practice of selling investments within 30 days of
purchase.
R2 Capital Strategies, LLC
Page 21
Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
Margin transactions. When an investor buys a stock on margin, the investor pays for part of the
purchase and borrows the rest of the purchase price from a brokerage firm. For example, an
investor may buy $5,000 worth of stock in a margin account by paying for $2,500 and borrowing
$2,500 from a brokerage firm. Clients cannot borrow stock from R2 Wealth Management
Partners.
Option writing including cover options, uncovered options or spreading strategies. Options are
contracts giving the purchaser the right to buy or sell a security, such as stocks, at a fixed price
within a specific period of time.
Primarily Recommend One Type of Security
We do not primarily recommend one type of security to clients. Instead, we recommend any product that
is suitable for each client relative to that client’s specific circumstances and needs.
Risk of Loss
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Therefore, you should never assume that future
performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable. Investing in securities
(including stocks, mutual funds, and bonds, etc.) involves risk of loss. Further, depending on the different
types of investments there will be varying degrees of risk. You should be prepared to bear investment
loss including loss of original principal.
Because of the inherent risk of loss associated with investing, our firm is unable to represent, guarantee,
or even imply that our services and methods of analysis can or will predict future results, successfully
identify market tops or bottoms, or insulate you from losses due to market corrections or declines. There
are certain additional risks associated with investing in securities through our investment management
program, as described below:
• Market Risk – Either the stock market as a whole, or the value of an individual company,
goes down resulting in a decrease in the value of client investments. This is also referred
to as systemic risk.
• Equity (stock) market risk – Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market
fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and
perceptions of their issuers change. If you held common stock, or common stock
equivalents, of any given issuer, you would generally be exposed to greater risk than if
you held preferred stocks and debt obligations of the issuer.
• Company Risk. When investing in stock positions, there is always a certain level of
company or industry specific risk that is inherent in each investment. This is also referred
to as unsystematic risk and can be reduced through appropriate diversification. There is
the risk that the company will perform poorly or have its value reduced based on factors
specific to the company or its industry. For example, if a company’s employees go on
strike or the company receives unfavorable media attention for its actions, the value of
the company may be reduced.
• Fixed Income Risk. When investing in bonds, there is the risk that the issuer will default
on the bond and be unable to make payments. Further, individuals who depend on set
amounts of periodically paid income face the risk that inflation will erode their spending
R2 Capital Strategies, LLC
Page 22
Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
power. Fixed-income investors receive set, regular payments that face the same inflation
risk.
• Options Risk. Options on securities may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than
an investment in the underlying securities. Purchasing and writing put and call options
are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks.
• ETF and Mutual Fund Risk – When investing in an ETF or mutual fund, you will bear
additional expenses based on your pro rata share of the ETF’s or mutual fund’s operating
expenses, including the potential duplication of management fees. The risk of owning an
ETF or mutual fund generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities the
ETF or mutual fund holds. You will also incur brokerage costs when purchasing ETFs.
• Management Risk – Your investment with our firm varies with the success and failure of
our investment strategies, research, analysis and determination of portfolio securities. If
our investment strategies do not produce the expected returns, the value of the
investment will decrease.
• Margin Risk - When you purchase securities, you may pay for the securities in full or
borrow part of the purchase price from your account custodian or clearing firm. If you
intended to borrow funds in connection with your Account, you will be required to open a
margin account, which will be carried by the clearing firm. The securities purchased in
such an account are the clearing firm’s collateral for its loan to you.
If those securities in a margin account decline in value, the value of the collateral
supporting this loan also declines, and as a result, the brokerage firm is required to take
action in order to maintain the necessary level of equity in your account. The brokerage
firm may issue a margin call and/or sell other assets in your account.
It is important that you fully understand the risks involved in trading securities on margin,
which are applicable to any margin account that you may maintain, including any margin
account that may be established as part of the Asset Management Agreement
established between you and R2 Wealth Management Partners and held by the account
custodian or clearing firm.
These risks include the following:
• You can lose more funds than you deposit in your margin account.
• The account custodian or clearing firm can force the sale of securities or other assets in
your account.
• The account custodian or clearing firm can sell your securities or other assets without
contacting you.
• You are not entitled to choose which securities or other assets in your margin account
may be liquidated or sold to meet a margin call.
• The account custodian or clearing firm may move securities held in your cash account to
your margin account and pledge the transferred securities.
• The account custodian or clearing firm can increase its “house” maintenance margin
requirements at any time and they are not required to provide you advance written
notice.
• You are not entitled to an extension of time on a margin call.

municipal securities dealer, government securities dealer or broker, an investment company or other
pooled investment vehicle (including a mutual fund, closed-end investment company, unit investment
trust, private investment company or "hedge fund," and offshore fund), another investment adviser or
financial planner, a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading
advisor, a banking or thrift institution, an accountant or accounting firm, a lawyer or law firm, an insurance

are not engaged in any other business activities and offer no other services except those described in this

our representatives may sell other products or provide services outside of their role as investment adviser
representatives with us.
Insurance Agent
You may work with your investment adviser representative in his or her separate capacity as an
insurance agent. When acting in this separate capacity as an insurance agent, we will sell, for
commissions, general disability insurance, life insurance, annuities, and other insurance products to you.
As such we may suggest that you implement recommendations of R2 Wealth Management Partners by
purchasing certain insurance products. This receipt of commissions creates an incentive for our
investment adviser representatives to recommend those products for which they will receive a
commission in their separate capacity as an insurance agent. Consequently, the advice rendered to you
could be biased. You are under no obligation to implement any insurance or annuity transaction through
your investment adviser representative in their separate capacity as an insurance agent.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics Summary
According to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, an investment adviser is considered a fiduciary and

and those of its supervised persons. The Code of Ethics also requires compliance with federal securities
laws. R2 Wealth Management Partners’ Code of Ethics covers all individuals that are classified as

as a result of employment or association with our firm unless the information is also available to the
investing public upon reasonable inquiry.
We are now and will continue to be in compliance with applicable state and federal rules and regulations.
To prevent conflicts of interest, we have developed written supervisory procedures that include personal
investment and trading policies for our representatives, employees and their immediate family members
(collectively, supervised persons):
• Supervised persons cannot prefer their own interests to that of the client.
• Supervised persons cannot purchase or sell any security for their personal accounts prior to
implementing transactions for client accounts.
• Supervised persons cannot buy or sell securities for their personal accounts when those
decisions are based on information obtained as a result of their employment, unless that
information is also available to the investing public upon reasonable inquiry.
• Supervised persons are prohibited from purchasing or selling securities of companies in which
any client is deemed an “insider”.
• Supervised persons are discouraged from conducting frequent personal trading.
• Supervised persons are generally prohibited from serving as board members of publicly traded
companies unless an exception has been granted to the Chief Compliance Officer of R2 Wealth
Management Partners.
Any supervised person not observing our policies is subject to sanctions up to and including termination.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
You are under no obligation to act on the recommendations of R2 Wealth Management Partners and are
free to select any broker/dealer or investment advisor you’d like to implement our recommendations. In
other words, you are not required to work with us. However, if you want to hire us for our asset
management service, we only work with the broker-dealer specified below since we will be responsible for
executing your account transactions and therefore responsible for attaining the best execution possible.
Please note that we cannot promise or guarantee our brokerage platform is the least expensive in the
industry. There may be other platforms with lower costs.
For clients that open portfolio management accounts through R2 Wealth Management Partners, we will
require the use of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), a registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, to
serve as the qualified custodian.
R2 Capital Strategies, LLC
Page 25
Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
For Retirement Plan clients that open portfolio management accounts through R2 Wealth Management
Partners, we recommend several Plan Administrators/custodians to provide recordkeeping and custody
services for our Plans. The size and type of Plan determines which Plan Administrator will be used.
Please note that not all investment advisors recommend or require the use of particular broker/dealers.
Some investment advisors permit client to use any broker/dealer of the client’s own choosing.
In addition, we may also render investment management services to clients regarding individual
employer-sponsored retirement plans. In these situations, R2 Wealth Management Partners either
directs or recommends the allocation of client assets among the various mutual fund subdivisions that
comprise the retirement plan. The client assets shall be maintained at the custodian designated by the
sponsor of the client's retirement plan. We do not have any arrangements whereby we recommend
specific retirement plan sponsors.
The recommendation of Schwab or any other broker/dealer is based on past experiences, minimizing
commissions and other costs as well as offerings or services the broker/dealer provides that R2 Wealth
Management Partners or client may require or find valuable such as online access. Clients may pay
commissions higher than those obtainable from other broker/dealers in return for those products and
services. Commission and fee structures of various broker/dealers are periodically reviewed to ensure
clients are receiving best execution. Accordingly, while R2 Wealth Management Partners will consider
competitive rates, it may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for client account
transactions. Therefore, the overall services provided by the broker/dealer are evaluated to determine
best execution.
Although we consider the overall services provided by the Custodians and factor the benefits provided to
our clients, we have material arrangements with Schwab that create incentives for us to recommend them
over other broker/dealers. Some of the arrangements may result in conflicts of interest with our clients
and are explained in the following sections.
When we recommend the use of a custodian/broker that will hold your assets and execute transactions,
we also consider whether the qualified custodian's terms are overall most advantageous to our clients
when compared with other available providers and their services. We take into account a wide range of
factors, including:
•Combination of transaction execution services and asset custody services (generally without a
separate fee for custody)
•Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for your account)
•Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers, check
requests, bill payment, etc.)
•Breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds
[ETFs], etc.)
•Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment decisions
•Quality of services
•Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, margin interest rates, other
fees, etc.) and willingness to negotiate the prices

•Reputation, financial strength, security and stability
•Prior service to us and our clients
•Services delivered or paid for by custodians
•Availability of other products and services
Schwab
Your brokerage and custody costs
For our clients’ accounts that Schwab maintains, Schwab generally does not charge you separately for
custody services but is compensated by charging you commissions or other fees on trades that it
executes or that settle into your Schwab account. Certain trades (for example, many mutual funds and
ETFs) may not incur Schwab commissions or transaction fees. Schwab is also compensated by earning
interest on the uninvested cash in your account in Schwab’s Cash Features Program. For some
accounts, Schwab charges you a percentage of the dollar amount of assets in the account in lieu of
commissions. These fees are in addition to the commissions or other compensation you pay the
executing broker-dealer. Because of this, in order to minimize your trading costs, we have Schwab
execute most trades for your account.
We are not required to select the broker or dealer that charges the lowest transaction cost, even if that
broker provides execution quality comparable to other brokers or dealers. Although we are not required to
execute all trades through Schwab, we have determined that having Schwab execute most trades is
consistent with our duty to seek “best execution” of your trades. Best execution means the most favorable
terms for a transaction based on all relevant factors, including those listed above (see “How we select
brokers/custodians”). By using another broker or dealer you may pay lower transaction costs.
Products and services available to us from Schwab
Schwab Advisor Services™ is Schwab’s business serving independent investment advisory firms like us.
They provide us and our clients with access to their institutional brokerage services (trading, custody,
reporting, and related services), many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers.
However, certain retail investors may be able to get institutional brokerage services from Schwab without
going through us. Schwab also makes available various support services. Some of those services help us
manage or administer our clients’ accounts, while others help us manage and grow our business.
Schwab’s support services are generally available on an unsolicited basis (we don’t have to request
them) and at no charge to us. Following is a more detailed description of Schwab’s support services:
Services that benefit you. Schwab’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 Schwab include some to which we might not otherwise have access or that
would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment by our clients. Schwab’s services
described in this paragraph generally benefit you and your account.
Services that do not directly benefit you. Schwab also makes available to us other products and
services that benefit us but do not directly benefit you or your account. These products and services
assist us in managing and administering our clients’ accounts and operating our firm. They include
investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of third parties. We use this research to service all or a
R2 Capital Strategies, LLC
Page 27
Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
substantial number of our clients’ accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab. In addition to
investment research, Schwab also makes available software and other technology that:
• Provide 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. Schwab also offers other services intended to help us manage
and further develop our business enterprise. These services include:
• Educational conferences and events
• Consulting on technology and business needs
• Consulting on legal and related compliance needs
• Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession
• Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers
• Marketing consulting and support
Schwab provides some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party vendors to
provide the services to us. Schwab also discounts or waives its fees for some of these services or pays all
or a part of a third party’s fees. Schwab also provides us with other benefits, such as occasional business
entertainment of our personnel. If you did not maintain your account with Schwab, we would be required
to pay for these services from our own resources.
Our interest in Schwab’s services
The availability of these services from Schwab benefits us because we do not have to produce or
purchase them. We don’t have to pay for Schwab’s services. [These services are not contingent upon us
committing any specific amount of business to Schwab in trading commissions or assets in custody.] The
fact that we receive these benefits from Schwab is an incentive for us to [recommend/request/require] the
use of Schwab rather than making such a decision based exclusively on your interest in receiving the
best value in custody services and the most favorable execution of your transactions. This is a conflict of
interest. [In some cases, the services that Schwab pays for are provided by an affiliate of ours or by
another party that has some pecuniary, financial or other interests in us (or in which we have such an
interest). This creates an additional conflict of interest.] We believe, however, that taken in the aggregate,
our [selection/recommendation] of Schwab as custodian and broker is in the best interests of our clients.
Our selection is primarily supported by the scope, quality, and price of Schwab’s services (see “How we
select brokers/ custodians”) and not Schwab’s services that benefit only us.
Handling Trade Errors
R2 Wealth Management Partners has implemented procedures designed to prevent trade errors;
however, trade errors in client accounts cannot always be avoided. Consistent with its fiduciary duty, it is
the policy of R2 Wealth Management Partners to correct trade errors in a manner that is in the best
interest of the client. In cases where the client causes the trade error, the client is 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 as a result of the error correction. In all situations where
the client does not cause the trade error, the client is made whole and any loss resulting from the trade
error is absorbed by R2 Wealth Management Partners if the error is caused by R2 Wealth Management
Partners. If the error is caused by the broker-dealer, the broker-dealer is responsible for handling the
trade error. If an investment gain results from the correcting trade, the gain remains in the client’s
R2 Capital Strategies, LLC
Page 28
Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
account unless the same error involved other client account(s) that should also receive the gains. It is not
permissible for all clients to retain the gain. R2 Wealth Management Partners may also confer with a
client to determine if the client should forego the gain (e.g., due to tax reasons).
R2 Wealth Management Partners will never benefit or profit from trade errors.
Block Trading Policy
We may elect to purchase or sell the same securities for several clients at approximately the same time.
This process is referred to as aggregating orders, batch trading or block trading and is used by our firm
when R2 Wealth Management Partners believes such action may prove advantageous to clients. If and
when we aggregate client orders, allocating securities among client accounts is done on a fair and
equitable basis. Typically, the process of aggregating client orders is done in order to achieve better
execution, to negotiate more favorable commission rates or to allocate orders among clients on a more
equitable basis in order to avoid differences in prices and transaction fees or other transaction costs that
might be obtained when orders are placed independently.
R2 Wealth Management Partners uses the average price allocation method for transaction allocation.
Under this procedure R2 Wealth Management Partners will calculate the average price and transaction
charges for each transaction included in a block order and assign the average price and transaction
charge to each allocated transaction executed for the client’s account.
If and when we determine to aggregate client orders for the purchase or sale of securities, including
securities in which R2 Wealth Management Partners or our associated persons may invest, we will do so
in accordance with the parameters set forth in the SEC No-Action Letter, SMC Capital, Inc. Neither we
nor our associated persons receive any additional compensation as a result of block trades.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Account Reviews and Reviewers
Managed accounts are reviewed at least quarterly. While the calendar is the main triggering factor,
reviews can also be conducted at your request. Account reviews will include investment strategy and
objectives review and making a change if strategy and objectives have changed. Reviews are conducted
by Travis Langemeier and Andrew Peterson, with reviews performed in accordance with your investment
goals and objectives.
Statements and Reports
For our asset management services, you are provided with transaction confirmation notices and regular
quarterly account statements in writing directly from the qualified custodian.
Additionally, R2 Wealth Management Partners will provide quarterly performance reports which include:
• Current holdings with number of shares and share prices as of the date of the statement;
• Stated returns for the dates appropriate to the report (YTD, Quarter, Trailing 12, etc.);
• General overview of classification of various holdings.
R2 Capital Strategies, LLC
Page 29
Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
Financial planning clients do not receive any report other than the written plan originally contracted for
and provided by R2 Wealth Management Partners.
You are encouraged to always compare any reports or statements provided by us against the account
statements delivered from the qualified custodian. When you have questions about your account
statement, you should contact our firm and the qualified custodian preparing the statement.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
R2 Wealth Management Partners does not directly or indirectly compensate any person for client
referrals.
We receive an economic benefit from Schwab in the form of the support products and services it makes
available to us and other independent investment advisors whose clients maintain their accounts at
Schwab. You do not pay more for assets maintained at Schwab as a result of these arrangements.
However, we benefit from the referral arrangement because the cost of these services would otherwise
be borne directly by us. You should consider these conflicts of interest when selecting a custodian. The
products and services provided by Schwab, how they benefit us, and the related conflicts of interest are
described above (see Item 12—Brokerage Practices).
Please see Item 5, Fees and Compensation, Item 10, Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
and Item 12, Brokerage Practices, for additional discussion concerning other compensation.
Item 15 – Custody
Custody, as it applies to investment advisors, has been defined by regulators as having access or control
over client funds and/or securities. In other words, custody is not limited to physically holding client funds
and securities. If an investment adviser has the ability to access or control client funds or securities, the
investment adviser is deemed to have custody and must ensure proper procedures are implemented.
R2 Wealth Management Partners is deemed to have custody of client funds and securities whenever R2
Wealth Management Partners is given the authority to have fees deducted directly from client accounts. R2
Wealth Management Partners is also deemed to have custody of client funds and securities when R2 Wealth
Management Partners has standing authority (also known as a standing letter of authorization or “SLOA”)
to move money from a client’s account to a third-party account.
For accounts in which R2 Wealth Management Partners is deemed to have custody, we have established
procedures to ensure all client funds and securities are held at a qualified custodian in a separate account
for each client under that client’s name. Clients or an independent representative of the client will direct,
in writing, the establishment of all accounts and therefore are aware of the qualified custodian’s name,
address and the manner in which the funds or securities are maintained. Finally, account statements are
delivered directly from the qualified custodian to each client, or the client’s independent representative, at
least quarterly. Clients should carefully review those statements and are urged to compare the
statements against reports received from R2 Wealth Management Partners. When clients have
questions about their account statements, they should contact R2 Wealth Management Partners or the
qualified custodian preparing the statement.
When fees are deducted from an account, R2 Wealth Management Partners is responsible for calculating
the fee and delivering instructions to the custodian.
R2 Capital Strategies, LLC

Item 16 – Investment Discretion
When providing asset management services, R2 Wealth Management Partners maintains trading
authorization over your Account and can provide management services on a discretionary basis. When
discretionary authority is granted, we will have the authority to determine the type of securities, the
amount of securities that can be bought or sold, the broker or dealer to be used and the commission rates
paid for your portfolio without obtaining your consent for each transaction. However, it is the policy of R2
Wealth Management Partners to consult with you prior to making significant changes in the account even
when discretionary trading authority is granted.
If you decide to grant trading authorization on a non-discretionary basis, we will be required to contact
you prior to implementing changes in your account. Therefore, you will be contacted and required to
accept or reject our investment recommendations including:
• The security being recommended
• The number of shares or units
• Whether to buy or sell
Once the above factors are agreed upon, we will be responsible for making decisions regarding the timing
of buying or selling an investment and the price at which the investment is bought or sold. If your
accounts are managed on a non-discretionary basis, you need to know that if we are not able to reach
you or you are slow to respond to our request, it can have an adverse impact on the timing of trade
implementations and we may not achieve the optimal trading price.
You will have the ability to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments that may be
purchased in your Account. You may also place reasonable limitations on the discretionary power
granted to R2 Wealth Management Partners so long as the limitations are specifically set forth or included
as an attachment to the client agreement.
For sub-account management services, when discretionary authority has been granted in writing by you,
R2 Wealth Management Partners will exercise limited discretionary authority to exchange sub-accounts
available in the variable annuity and/or variable life contract without contacting you in advance to obtain
your consent for each exchange. Under our sub-account management services, you have the ability to
place reasonable restrictions on the available sub-accounts utilized by R2 Wealth Management Partners.
You may also place reasonable limitations on the discretionary power granted to R2 Wealth Management
Partners so long as the limitations are specifically set forth or included as an attachment to the client
agreement.
For sub-account management services, upon receiving written authorization, R2 Wealth Management
Partners will maintain trading authorization over your accounts. Upon receiving written authorization from
you, we may implement trades on a non-discretionary basis. This means we will be required to contact
you prior to implementing changes in your account. However, we will be responsible for making
decisions regarding the timing of buying or selling an investment and the price at which the investment is
bought or sold.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
R2 Wealth Management Partners does not vote proxies on behalf of Clients. We have determined that
taking on the responsibilities for voting client securities does not add enough value to the services
R2 Capital Strategies, LLC
Page 31
Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure
provided to you to justify the additional compliance and regulatory costs associated with voting client
securities. Therefore, it is your responsibility to vote all proxies for securities held in Account.
You will receive proxies directly from the qualified custodian or transfer agent; we will not provide you with
the proxies. You are encouraged to read through the information provided with the proxy-voting
documents and make a determination based on the information provided. Although we do not vote client
proxies, if you have a general question about a particular proxy feel free to contact us. However, you will
have the ultimate responsibility for making all proxy-voting decisions.
Item 18 – Financial Information
R2 Wealth Management Partners does 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. We are not subject to a financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair our
ability to meet contractual commitments to clients. Finally, R2 Wealth Management Partners has not
been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time.
