We are an S-Corporation founded in November 2023. Rainier Family Wealth, Inc. became registered in 2024. Jun Chea is the principal owner and Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). As used in this brochure, the words “RFW”, “we”, “our firm”, “Advisor” and “us” refer to Rainier Family Wealth, Inc. and the words “you”, “your” and “Client” refer to you as either a client or prospective client of our firm. Types of Advisory Services RFW is a fee-only firm, meaning the only compensation we receive is from our Clients for our services. We offer Family Office Services, Wealth Management Services, and Retirement Plan consulting. From time to time, RFW recommends third-party professionals such as attorneys, accountants, tax advisors, insurance agents, or other financial professionals. Clients are never obligated to utilize any third-party professional we recommend. RFW is not affiliated with nor does RFW receive any compensation from third-party professionals we may recommend. Wealth Management Services Wealth Management encompasses investment management services and financial planning. Our firm provides continuous advice to a Client regarding the investment of Client funds based on the individual needs of the Client. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on a Client’s particular circumstances are established, we develop a Client’s personal investment policy or an investment plan with an asset allocation target and create and manage a portfolio based on that policy and allocation targets. We will also review and discuss a Client’s prior investment history, as well as family composition and background. Account supervision is guided by the stated objectives of the Client (e.g., maximum capital appreciation, growth, income, or growth and income), as well as risk tolerance and tax considerations. We primarily advise our Clients regarding investments in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, U.S. government and municipal securities, and cash and cash equivalents. We may also provide advice regarding investments held in Client’s portfolio at the inception of our advisory relationship and/or other investment types not listed above, at the Client’s request. When we provide investment management services, Clients grant us limited authority to buy and sell securities on a discretionary basis or non-discretionary basis. More information on our trading authority is explained in Item 16 of this Brochure. Clients 4 may impose reasonable restrictions in writing on investing in certain securities, types of securities, or industry sectors. In addition to managing investment portfolios directly, we will also provide ongoing advice and supervision on accounts that the client chooses to have us monitor and provide recommendations for but cannot be transferred to one of our recommended custodians listed in Item 12. These accounts may include 529 Plans, 401(k) and other employer sponsored tax qualified accounts, as well as other brokerage accounts that the client maintains at other financial institutions (“held-away accounts”). This portion of the service will include RFW’s selection of the appropriate investments based on the options that are available for the clients’ held away account(s) and ongoing monitoring and reporting on those accounts. At no additional fee and at Client’s election, RFW also provides the Client with a financial plan. A Client will be taken through establishing their goals and values around money. Clients will be required to provide pertinent information to help complete the following areas of analysis: net worth, cash flow, insurance, credit scores/reports, employee benefits, retirement planning, insurance, investments, college planning, and estate planning. Once the Client’s information is reviewed, their plan will be built and analyzed, and then the findings, analysis and potential changes to their current situation will be reviewed with the Client. Clients will receive a detailed financial plan designed to help achieve Client’s stated financial goals and objectives. The plan and the Client’s financial situation and goals will be monitored throughout the year. In general, the financial plan will address some or all of the following areas of concern. The Client and RFW will work together to select specific areas to cover. These areas may include, but are not limited to, the following: ● Business Planning: We provide consulting services for Clients who currently operate their own business, are considering starting a business, or are planning for an exit from their current business. Under this type of engagement, we work with you to assess your current situation, identify your objectives, and develop a plan aimed at achieving your goals.  ● Cash Flow and Debt Management: We will conduct a review of your income and expenses to determine your current surplus or deficit along with advice on prioritizing how any surplus should be used or how to reduce expenses if they exceed your income. Advice may also be provided on which debts to pay off first based on factors such as the interest rate of the debt and any income tax ramifications. We may also recommend what we believe to be an appropriate cash reserve that should be considered for emergencies and other financial goals, along with a review of accounts (such as money market funds) for such reserves, plus strategies to save desired amounts. 5 ● College Savings: Includes projecting the amount that will be needed to achieve college or other post-secondary education funding goals, along with advice on ways for you to save the desired amount. Recommendations as to savings strategies are included, and, if needed, we will review your financial picture as it relates to eligibility for financial aid or the best way to contribute to children and grandchildren (if appropriate).  ● Employee Benefits Optimization: We will provide review and analysis as to whether you, as an employee, are taking the maximum advantage possible of your employee benefits. If you are a business owner, we will consider and/or recommend the various benefit programs that can be structured to meet both business and personal retirement goals. ● Estate Planning: This usually includes an analysis of your exposure to estate taxes and your current estate plan, which may include whether you have a will, powers of attorney, trusts, and other related documents. Our advice also typically includes ways for you to minimize or avoid future estate taxes by implementing appropriate estate planning strategies such as the use of applicable trusts.  We always recommend that you consult with a qualified attorney when you initiate, update, or complete estate planning activities. We may provide you with contact information for attorneys who specialize in estate planning when you wish to hire an attorney for such purposes. From time-to-time, we will participate in meetings or phone calls between you and your attorney with your approval or request. ● Financial Goals: We will help Clients identify financial goals and develop a plan to reach them. We will identify what you plan to accomplish, what resources you will need to make it happen, how much time you will need to reach the goal, and how much you should budget for your goal. ● Insurance: Review of existing policies to ensure proper coverage for life, health, disability, long-term care, liability, home, and automobile. ● Investment Analysis: This may involve developing an asset allocation strategy to meet Clients’ financial goals and risk tolerance, providing information on investment vehicles and strategies, reviewing employee stock options, as well as assisting you in establishing your own investment account at a selected broker/dealer or custodian. The strategies and types of investments we may recommend are further discussed in Item 8 of this brochure. ● Retirement Planning: Our retirement planning services typically include projections of your likelihood of achieving your financial goals, typically focusing on financial independence as the primary objective. For situations where projections show less than the desired results, we may make recommendations, including those that may impact the original projections by adjusting certain variables (e.g., working longer, saving more, spending less, taking more risk with investments). 6 If you are near retirement or already retired, advice may be given on appropriate distribution strategies to minimize the likelihood of running out of money or having to adversely alter spending during your retirement years. ● Risk Management: A risk management review includes an analysis of your exposure to major risks that could have a significant adverse impact on your financial picture, such as premature death, disability, property and casualty losses, or the need for long-term care planning. Advice may be provided on ways to minimize such risks and about weighing the costs of purchasing insurance versus the benefits of doing so and, likewise, the potential cost of not purchasing insurance (“self-insuring”). ● Tax Planning Strategies: Advice may include ways to minimize current and future income taxes as a part of your overall financial planning picture. For example, we may make recommendations on which type of account(s) or specific investments should be owned based in part on their “tax efficiency,” with the consideration that there is always a possibility of future changes to federal, state or local tax laws and rates that may impact your situation. We recommend that you consult with a qualified tax professional before initiating any tax planning strategy, and we may provide you with contact information for accountants or attorneys who specialize in this area if you wish to hire someone for such purposes. We will participate in meetings or phone calls between you and your tax professional with your approval. ● Third-party tools (e.g., Holistiplan for tax analysis summaries) may be used to support the planning process. These outputs are for planning purposes only and do not constitute legal, tax-preparation, valuation, insurance, or transaction advice. Clients should engage qualified independent professionals for such services. Family Office Services Family Office Services are tailored to each Family Client. RFW will have thorough, personal discussions with the Family Client to ensure the services RFW provides for the Family Client are customized to the Family Client’s needs and goals. Potential specific services RFW may provide a Family Client may include, but are not limited to, portfolio management, tax planning, charitable planning, and coordination of private travel. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions We tailor the delivery of our services to meet the individual needs of our Clients. We consult with Clients initially and on an ongoing basis, through the duration of their 7 engagement with us, to determine risk tolerance, time horizon and other factors that may impact the Clients’ investment and/or planning needs.  Clients are able to specify, within reason, any restrictions they would like to place as it pertains to individual securities and/or sectors that will be traded in their account. All such requests must be provided to RFW in writing. RFW will notify Clients if they are unable to accommodate any requests. Wrap Fee Programs We do not participate in wrap fee programs.  Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2025, RFW has $327,449,178 in discretionary and $4,024,413 in non-discretionary assets under management. 8 Item 5: Fees and Compensation Please note, unless a Client has received this brochure at least 48 hours prior to signing an Advisory Contract, the Advisory Contract may be terminated by the Client within five (5) business days of signing the Advisory Contract without penalty or incurring any fees. How we are paid depends on the type of advisory services we perform. Below is a brief description of our fees, however, you should review your executed Advisory Contract for more detailed information regarding the exact fees you will be paying. No increase to the agreed-upon advisory fees outlined in the Advisory Contract shall occur without prior Client consent Wealth Management Services The fee is based on a percentage of assets under management and is negotiable. The annualized fees for investment management services are based on the following fee schedule: Assets Under Management Annual Advisory Fee $0 - $2,000,000 1.00% $2,000,001 - $5,000,000 0.80% $5,000,001 - $10,000,000 0.65% $10,000,001 and Above 0.50% The annual advisory fee is paid quarterly in advance based on the value of Client’s account(s) as of the last day of the billing period. The advisory fee is a blended tier. For example, for assets under management of $3,000,000, a Client would pay 1.00% on the first $2,000,000 and 0.80% on the remaining balance. The quarterly fee is determined by the following calculation: (($2,000,000 x 1.00%) + ($1,000,000 x 0.80%)) ÷ 4 = $7,000. In determining the advisory fee, we may allow accounts of members of the same household to be aggregated. RFW relies on the valuation as provided by Client’s custodian in determining assets under management. Our advisory fee is prorated for any partial billing periods occurring during the engagement, including the initial and terminating billing periods. Clients may make additions or withdrawals from their account at any time; however, RFW reserves the right to adjust our advisory fees on a pro-rata basis on account of any such cash-flow transactions. We charge a fee of 0.50% for providing ongoing advice and supervision on accounts that the client chooses to have us monitor and provide recommendations for but cannot be transferred to one of our recommended custodians listed in Item 12. 9 Family Office Services Our fees for our Family Office Services are largely dependent on the scope of services we provide to each Family Office Client, and clients will be billed either a fee based on the account’s assets under management, an hourly fee, or a flat fee. Specific fees and billing procedures will be agreed upon with the Family Office Client and disclosed in the advisory agreement signed by the Family Office Client. Hourly fees will not exceed $500, and annual flat fees will not exceed $500,000. Annual fees based on the assets under management fees will be negotiable based on the following fee schedule: Assets Under Management Annual Advisory Fee $0 - $25,000,000 0.65% $25,000,001 - $50,000,000 0.55% $50,000,001 - $75,000,000 0.45% $75,000,001 - $100,000,000 0.40% $100,000,001 and Above 0.30% Fee Payment We deduct our advisory fee from one or more account(s) held at an unaffiliated third-party custodian, as directed by the Client. Please refer to Item 15 of this Brochure regarding our policy on direct fee deduction. Clients may also pay by electronic funds transfer (EFT) or check. We use an independent third party payment processor in which the Client can securely input their payment information to pay their fee. We do not have access to the Client’s banking or credit information at any time. The Client will be provided with their own secure portal in order to make payments. Other Types of Fees and Expenses Our fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses which may be incurred by the Client. Clients may incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, and other third parties such as custodial fees, 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. Mutual fund and exchange-traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund's prospectus. Such charges, fees, and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to our fee, and we shall not receive any portion of these 10 commissions, fees, and costs. As a courtesy to our clients, we will refund wire transfer fees. Item 12 further describes the factors that we consider in selecting or recommending custodians for Client’s transactions and determining the reasonableness of their compensation (e.g., commissions). Clients may incur fees from third-party professionals such as accountants and attorneys that RFW may recommend, upon Client request. Such fees are separate and distinct from RFW’s advisory fees. Terminations and Refunds The Advisory Contract may be terminated with written notice at least 30 calendar days in advance.  Upon termination of the Advisory Contract, a prorated refund will be provided to the Client. Clients will be responsible for payment of fees up to the date of termination. Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products Advisor and its supervised persons do not accept compensation for the sale of securities or other investment products including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale of mutual funds. 11 Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management We do not offer performance-based fees and do not engage in side-by-side management. 12 Item 7: Types of Clients We provide financial planning and investment management services to individuals, high net-worth individuals, charitable organizations, corporations or other businesses. Our minimum AUM relationship size requirement is $500,000 to engage our firm for Wealth Management Services. Our minimum AUM relationship size requirement for Family Office Services is $25,000,000. RFW may reduce or waive the minimum account size requirement on a case-by-case basis. 13 Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss Below is a brief description of our methods of analysis and primary investment strategies. Methods of Analysis Fundamental analysis involves analyzing individual companies and their industry groups, such as a company’s financial statements, details regarding the company’s product line, the experience, and expertise of the company’s management, and the outlook for the company’s industry. The resulting data is used to measure the true value of the company’s stock compared to the current market value. The risk of fundamental analysis is that the information obtained may be incorrect and the analysis may not provide an accurate estimate of earnings, which may be the basis for a stock’s value. If securities prices adjust rapidly to new information, utilizing fundamental analysis may not result in favorable performance. Technical analysis involves using chart patterns, momentum, volume, and relative strength in an effort to pick sectors that may outperform market indices.  However, there is no assurance of accurate forecasts or that trends will develop in the markets we follow. In the past, there have been periods without discernible trends and similar periods will presumably occur in the future. Even where major trends develop, outside factors like government intervention could potentially shorten them. Furthermore, one limitation of technical analysis is that it requires price movement data, which can translate into price trends sufficient to dictate a market entry or exit decision. In a trendless or erratic market, a technical method may fail to identify trends requiring action. In addition, technical methods may overreact to minor price movements, establishing positions contrary to overall price trends, which may result in losses. Finally, a technical trading method may underperform other trading methods when fundamental factors dominate price moves within a given market. Cyclical analysis involves the gathering and processing of price and volume information for a particular security. This price and volume information is analyzed using mathematical equations. The resulting data is then applied to graphing charts, which is used to predict future price movements based on price patterns and trends. Charts may not accurately predict future price movements. Current prices of securities may not reflect all information about the security and day-to-day changes in market prices of securities may follow random patterns and may not be predictable with any reliable degree of accuracy. Charting analysis involves the gathering and processing of price and volume information for a particular security. This price and volume information is analyzed using mathematical equations. The resulting data is then applied to graphing charts, which is used to predict future price movements based on price patterns and trends. 14 Charts may not accurately predict future price movements. Current prices of securities may not reflect all information about the security and day-to-day changes in market prices of securities may follow random patterns and may not be predictable with any reliable degree of accuracy.  Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) The underlying principles of MPT are: 1. Investors are risk averse. The only acceptable risk is that which is adequately compensated by an expected return. Risk and investment return are related and an increase in risk requires an increased expected return. 2. Markets are efficient. The same market information is available to all investors at the same time. The market prices every security fairly based upon this equal availability of information. The design of the portfolio as a whole is more important than the selection of any particular security. The appropriate allocation of capital among asset classes will have far more influence on long-term portfolio performance than the selection of individual securities. 3. Investing for the long-term (preferably longer than ten years) becomes critical to investment success because it allows the long-term characteristics of the asset classes to surface. 4. Increasing diversification of the portfolio with lower correlated asset class positions can decrease portfolio risk. Correlation is the statistical term for the extent to which two asset classes move in tandem or opposition to one another. Mutual Fund and/or ETF Analysis: We look at the experience and track record of the manager of the mutual fund or ETF in an attempt to determine if that manager has demonstrated an ability to invest over a period of time and in different economic conditions. We also look at the underlying assets in a mutual fund or ETF in an attempt to determine if there is significant overlap in the underlying investments held in other funds in the Client’s portfolio. In addition, we monitor the funds or ETFs in an attempt to determine if they are continuing to follow their stated investment strategy. A risk of mutual fund and/or ETF analysis is that, as in all securities investments, past performance does not guarantee future results. A manager who has been successful may not be able to replicate that success in the future. In addition, as we do not control the underlying investments in a fund or ETF, managers of different funds held by the client may purchase the same security, increasing the risk to the client if that security were to fall in value. There is also a risk that a manager may deviate from the stated investment mandate or strategy of the fund or ETF, which could make the fund or ETF less suitable for the Client’s portfolio. 15 Investment Strategies Asset Allocation In implementing our Clients’ investment strategy, we begin by attempting to identify an appropriate ratio of equities, fixed income, and cash (i.e. “asset allocation”) suitable to the Client’s investment goals and risk tolerance. A risk of asset allocation is that the Client may not participate in sharp increases in a particular security, industry or market sector. Another risk is that the ratio of equities, fixed income, and cash will change over time due to stock and market movements and, if not corrected, will no longer be appropriate for the Client’s goals. We attempt to closely monitor our asset allocation models and make changes periodically to keep in line with the target risk tolerance model. Passive Investment Management Passive investing involves building portfolios that are composed of various distinct asset classes. The asset classes are weighted in a manner to achieve the desired relationship between correlation, risk, and return. Funds that passively capture the returns of the desired asset classes are placed in the portfolio. The funds that are used to build passive portfolios are typically index mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Passive investment management is characterized by low portfolio expenses (i.e. the funds inside the portfolio have low internal costs), minimal trading costs (due to infrequent trading activity), and relative tax efficiency (because the funds inside the portfolio are tax efficient and turnover inside the portfolio is minimal). In contrast, active management involves a single manager or managers who employ some method, strategy or technique to construct a portfolio that is intended to generate returns that are greater than the broader market or a designated benchmark. Passive and Active Investment Management We may choose investment vehicles that are considered passive, active, or a combination of both styles.  Passive investing involves building portfolios that are composed of various distinct asset classes. The asset classes are weighted in a manner to achieve a desired relationship between correlation, risk and return. Funds that passively capture the returns of the desired asset classes are placed in the portfolio.  Active investing involves a single manager or managers who employ some method, strategy or technique to construct a portfolio that is intended to generate returns that are greater than the broader market or a designated benchmark. Actively managed funds are also designed to reduce volatility and risk. We may engage in both passive and active investing in the Client's portfolio. However, we strive to construct portfolios of funds and individual securities that we believe will 16 have the greatest probability for achieving our Clients’ personal financial goals with the least amount of volatility and risk rather than attempt to outperform an arbitrary index or benchmark.  Specific investment selections are based on a number of factors that we evaluate in order to select, what we believe to be, the highest quality funds or individual securities for our Clients. These factors include but are not limited to underlying holdings of funds, percentage weighting of holdings within funds, liquidity, tax efficiency, bid/ask spreads, and other smart/strategic beta factors. These factors may or may not result in the lowest cost ETFs and mutual funds available when utilizing funds in a Client’s portfolio, but we strive to keep internal fund expenses as low as possible. Socially Responsible Investing We may utilize various socially conscious investment approaches if a Client desires. RFW may construct portfolios that utilize mutual funds, ETFs, or individual securities with the purpose of incorporating socially conscious principles into a Client’s portfolio. These portfolios may sometimes also be customized to reflect the personal values of each indi`vidual, family, or organization. This allows our Clients to invest in a way that aligns with their values. RFW may rely on mutual funds and ETFs that incorporate Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) research as well as positive and negative screens related to specific business practices to determine the quality of an investment on values-based merits. Additionally, RFW may construct portfolios of individual securities in order to provide Clients with a greater degree of control over the socially conscious strategies they are utilizing. RFW relies on third-party research when constructing portfolios of individual securities with socially conscious considerations.  If you request your portfolio to be invested according to socially conscious principles, you should note that returns on investments of this type may be limited and because of this limitation you may not be able to be as well diversified among various asset classes. The number of publicly traded companies that meet socially conscious investment parameters is also limited, and due to this limitation, there is a probability of similarity or overlap of holdings, especially among socially conscious mutual funds or ETFs. Therefore, there could be a more pronounced positive or negative impact on a socially conscious portfolio, which could be more volatile than a fully diversified portfolio. Long-term/Short-term purchases We purchase securities and generally hold them in the Client's account for a year or longer. Short-term purchases may be employed as appropriate when: ● We believe the securities to be currently undervalued, and/or ● We want exposure to a particular asset class over time, regardless of the current projection for this class. 17 A risk in a long-term purchase strategy is that by holding the security for this length of time, we may not take advantage of short-term gains that could be profitable to a client. Moreover, if our predictions are incorrect, a security may decline sharply in value before we make the decision to sell. Material Risks Involved All investing strategies we offer involve risk and may result in a loss of your original investment which you should be prepared to bear. Many of these risks apply equally to stocks, bonds, commodities, and any other investment or security. Material risks associated with our investment strategies are listed below. Market Risk: Market risk involves the possibility that an investment’s current market value will fall because of a general market decline, reducing the value of the investment regardless of the operational success of the issuer’s operations or its financial condition. Strategy Risk: The Adviser’s investment strategies and/or investment techniques may not work as intended. Small and Medium Cap Company Risk: Securities of companies with small and medium market capitalizations are often more volatile and less liquid than investments in larger companies. Small and medium cap companies may face a greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility of the Client’s portfolio. Turnover Risk: Actively managed mutual funds tend to have a higher turnover rate than passive funds. A high portfolio turnover would result in higher transaction costs and in higher taxes when shares are held in a taxable account. These factors may negatively affect the account’s performance. Limited markets: Certain securities may be less liquid (harder to sell or buy) and their prices may at times be more volatile than at other times. Under certain market conditions, we may be unable to sell or liquidate investments at prices we consider reasonable or favorable or find buyers at any price. Interest Rate Risk: Bond (fixed income) prices generally fall when interest rates rise, and the value may fall below par value or the principal investment. The opposite is also generally true: bond prices generally rise when interest rates fall. In general, fixed income securities with longer maturities are more sensitive to these price changes. Most other investments are also sensitive to the level and direction of interest rates. Legal or Legislative Risk: Legislative changes or Court rulings may impact the value of investments, or the securities’ claim on the issuer’s assets and finances. Inflation: Inflation may erode the buying power of your investment portfolio, even if the dollar value of your investments remains the same. 18 MPT Risk: Market risk is that part of a security's risk that is common to all securities of the same general class (stocks and bonds) and thus cannot be eliminated by diversification. Risks Associated with Securities Apart from the general risks outlined above which apply to all types of investments, specific securities may have other risks. Common Stocks may go up and down in price quite dramatically, and in the event of an issuer’s bankruptcy or restructuring could lose all value. A slower-growth or recessionary economic environment could have an adverse effect on the price of all stocks. Corporate Bonds are debt securities to borrow money. Generally, issuers pay investors periodic interest and repay the amount borrowed either periodically during the life of the security and/or at maturity. Alternatively, investors can purchase other debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, which do not pay current interest, but rather are priced at a discount from their face values and their values accrete over time to face value at maturity. The market prices of debt securities fluctuate depending on factors such as interest rates, credit quality, and maturity. In general, market prices of debt securities decline when interest rates rise and increase when interest rates fall. The longer the time to a bond’s maturity, the greater its interest rate risk. Exchange Traded Funds prices may vary significantly from the Net Asset Value due to market conditions. Certain Exchange Traded Funds may not track underlying benchmarks as expected. ETFs are also subject to the following risks: (i) an ETF’s shares may trade at a market price that is above (premium) or below (discount) their net asset value and an ETF purchased at a premium may ultimately be sold at a discount; (ii) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally. The Adviser has no control over the risks taken by the underlying funds in which the Clients invest. Municipal Bonds are debt obligations generally issued to obtain funds for various public purposes, including the construction of public facilities. Municipal bonds pay a lower rate of return than most other types of bonds. However, because of a municipal bond’s tax-favored status, investors should compare the relative after-tax return to the after-tax return of other bonds, depending on the investor’s tax bracket. Investing in municipal bonds carries the same general risks as investing in bonds in general. Those risks include interest rate risk, reinvestment risk, inflation risk, market risk, call or redemption risk, credit risk, and liquidity and valuation risk. Mutual Funds When a Client invests in open-end mutual funds or ETFs, the Client indirectly bears its proportionate share of any fees and expenses payable directly by those funds. Therefore, the Client will incur higher expenses, many of which may be 19 duplicative. In addition, the Client's overall portfolio may be affected by losses of an underlying fund and the level of risk arising from the investment practices of an underlying fund (such as the use of derivatives). 20 Item 9: Disciplinary Information Criminal or Civil Actions RFW and its management persons have not been involved in any criminal or civil action. Administrative Enforcement Proceedings RFW and its management persons have not been involved in any administrative enforcement proceedings. Self-Regulatory Organization Enforcement Proceedings RFW and its management persons have not been involved in any self-regulatory organization (SRO) proceedings. 21 Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Broker-Dealer Affiliation Neither RFW or its management persons is registered, or have an application pending to register, as a broker-dealer or a registered representative of a broker-dealer. Other Affiliations Neither RFW or its management persons is registered, or have an application pending to register, as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, commodity trading advisor, or an associated person of the foregoing entities. Related Persons Neither RFW or its management persons have any relationship or arrangement with any outside financial industry related parties. Recommendations or Selections of Other Investment Advisers RFW does not recommend or select other investment advisers for our clients. 22 Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading As a fiduciary, our firm has a duty of utmost good faith to act solely in the best interests of each Client. Our Clients entrust us with their funds and personal information, which in turn places a high standard on our conduct and integrity. Our fiduciary duty is a core aspect of our Code of Ethics and represents the expected basis of all of our dealings. The firm also adheres to the Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility adopted by the CFP® Board of Standards Inc., and accepts the obligation not only to comply with the mandates and requirements of all applicable laws and regulations but also to take responsibility to act in an ethical and professionally responsible manner in all professional services and activities. Code of Ethics Description This Code of Ethics does not attempt to identify all possible conflicts of interest, and compliance with each of its specific provisions will not shield our firm or its access persons from liability for misconduct that violates a fiduciary duty to our Clients. A summary of the Code of Ethics' Principles is outlined below. ● Integrity - Access persons shall offer and provide professional services with integrity. ● Objectivity - Access persons shall be objective in providing professional services to Clients. ● Competence - Access persons shall provide services to Clients competently and maintain the necessary knowledge and skill to continue to do so in those areas in which they are engaged. ● Fairness - Access persons shall perform professional services in a manner that is fair and reasonable to Clients, principals, partners, and employers, and shall disclose conflict(s) of interest in providing such services. ● Confidentiality - Access persons shall not disclose confidential Client information without the specific consent of the Client unless in response to proper legal process, or as required by law. ● Professionalism - Access persons conduct in all matters shall reflect the credit of the profession. ● Diligence - Access persons shall act diligently in providing professional services. We periodically review and amend our Code of Ethics to ensure that it remains current, and we require all firm access persons to attest to their understanding of and adherence to the Code of Ethics at least annually. Our firm will provide a copy of its Code of Ethics to any Client or prospective Client upon request. Investment Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest and Conflicts of Interest 23 Neither our firm, its access persons, or any related person is authorized to recommend to a Client or effect a transaction for a Client, involving any security in which our firm or a related person has a material financial interest, such as in the capacity as an underwriter, adviser to the issuer, principal transaction, among others. Advisory Firm Purchase of Same Securities Recommended to Clients and Conflicts of Interest Our firm, its access persons, and its related persons may buy or sell securities similar to, or different from, those we recommend to Clients. In an effort to reduce or eliminate certain conflicts of interest, our Code of Ethics may require that we restrict or prohibit access persons’ transactions in specific reportable securities. Any exceptions or trading pre-clearance must be approved by RFW’s Chief Compliance Officer in advance of the transaction in an account. RFW maintains a copy of access persons’ personal securities transactions as required. Trading Securities At/Around the Same Time as Client’s Securities From time to time our firm, its access persons, or its related persons may buy or sell securities for themselves at or around the same time as they buy or sell securities for Clients’ account(s). To address this conflict, it is our policy that neither our firm or access persons shall have priority over Clients’ accounts in the purchase or sale of securities. 24 Item 12: Brokerage Practices Factors Used to Select Custodians RFW does not have any affiliation with any custodian we recommend. Specific custodian recommendations are made to the Client based on their need for such services. We recommend custodians based on the reputation and services provided by the firm. In recommending custodians, we have an obligation to seek the “best execution” of transactions in Client accounts. The determinative factor in the analysis of best execution is not the lowest possible commission cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of the custodian’s services. The factors we consider when evaluating a custodian for best execution include, without limitation, the custodian’s: ● 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. With this in consideration, our firm recommends Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC (“Fidelity”), an independent and unaffiliated SEC registered broker-dealer firm and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). Research and Other Soft-Dollar Benefits We do not have any soft-dollar arrangements with custodians whereby soft-dollar credits, used to purchase products and services, are earned directly in proportion to the amount of commissions paid by a Client. However, as a result of being on their institutional platform, Fidelity may provide us with certain services that may benefit us. RFW has an arrangement with National Financial Services, LLC, and Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC (together with all affiliates, “Fidelity”) through which Fidelity 25 provides RFW with Fidelity’s “platform” services. The platform services include, among others, brokerage, custodial, administrative support, record keeping and related services that are intended to support intermediaries like RFW in conducting business and in serving the best interests of their clients, but that may benefit RFW. 1. SERVICES THAT BENEFIT YOU. Fidelity provides access to a range of investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of client assets through National Financial Services, LLC and Fidelity Brokerage, LLC.  Also, Fidelity provides discount brokerage rates that are generally lower than retail investor rates. Fidelity services described in this paragraph generally benefit you and your account. 2. SERVICES THAT MAY NOT DIRECTLY BENEFIT YOU.  Fidelity also makes available to us other products and services that benefit us, but may not directly benefit you or your account.  These products and services assist us in managing and administering our clients’ accounts, such as software and technology that may: ● Assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting of our clients’ accounts. ● Provide access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account statements). ● Provide pricing and other market data. ● Assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting. ● Investment research. ● Access to Fidelity’s trading desk for Advisors. ● Access to block trading. 3. SERVICES THAT GENERALLY BENEFIT ONLY US. By using Fidelity, we will be offered other services intended to help us 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. ● Vendor discounts to purchase business services, such as consulting, marketing and branding, technology support and other similar business services. 4. YOUR BROKERAGE AND CUSTODY COSTS. Fidelity charges brokerage commissions and transaction fees for effecting certain securities transactions (i.e., transaction fees are charged for certain no-load mutual funds, commissions are charged for individual equity and debt securities transactions).  Fidelity enables RFW to obtain many no-load mutual funds without transaction charges and other no-load funds at nominal transaction 26 charges. Fidelity’s commission rates are generally considered discounted from customary retail commission rates. However, the commissions and transaction fees charged by Fidelity may be higher or lower than those charged by other custodians. As part of its fiduciary duties to clients, RFW endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first.  Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits by RFW or its related persons in and of itself creates a potential conflict of interest and may indirectly influence RFW’s choice of Fidelity for custody and brokerage services. Brokerage for Client Referrals We receive no referrals from a custodian, broker-dealer or third party in exchange for using that custodian, broker-dealer or third party. Clients Directing Which Broker/Dealer/Custodian to Use Our firm requires Clients establish account(s) at Fidelity to execute transactions through. We will assist with establishing your account(s) at Fidelity, however, we will not have the authority to open accounts on the Client's behalf. Not all investment advisers require their Clients to use their recommended custodian. By requiring that Clients use Fidelity, we may be unable to achieve most favorable execution of Client transactions, and this practice may cost Clients more money. We base our recommendations on the factors disclosed in Item 12 herein and will only recommend custodians if we believe it's in the best interest of the Client. We do not permit Clients to direct brokerage (direct us to a broker-dealer of your choosing). Aggregating (Block) Trading for Multiple Client Accounts Generally, we combine multiple orders for shares of the same securities purchased for advisory accounts we manage (this practice is commonly referred to as “block trading”). We will then distribute a portion of the shares to participating accounts in a fair and equitable manner. The distribution of the shares purchased is typically proportionate to the size of the account, but it is not based on account performance or the amount or structure of management fees. Subject to our discretion, regarding particular circumstances and market conditions, when we combine orders, each participating account pays an average price per share for all transactions and pays a proportionate share of all transaction costs. Accounts owned by our firm or access persons may participate in block trading with your accounts; however, they will not be given preferential treatment. 27 Item 13: Review of Accounts Periodic Reviews Jun Chea, President and CCO of RFW, will work with Clients to obtain current information regarding their assets and investment holdings and will review this information as part of our financial planning services. RFW does not provide specific reports to Clients, other than financial plans. Clients who engage us for investment management services will have their account(s) reviewed not less than annually by the Client’s advisor. The account(s) are reviewed with regards to the Client’s investment objectives and risk tolerance levels. Triggers of Reviews Events that may trigger a special review would be unusual performance, addition or deletions of Client-imposed restrictions, excessive draw-down, volatility in performance, or buy and sell decisions from the firm or per Client's needs. Review Reports Clients will receive trade confirmations from the custodian(s) for each transaction in their accounts as well as monthly or quarterly statements and annual tax reporting statements from their custodian showing all activity in the accounts, such as receipt of dividends and interest. RFW will provide written performance and/or holdings reports to Investment Management Clients on at least an annual basis. We urge Clients to compare these reports against the account statements they receive from their custodian. 28 Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation Compensation Received by Rainier Family Wealth, Inc. RFW is a fee-only firm that is compensated solely by its Clients. RFW does not receive commissions or other sales-related compensation. Except as mentioned in Item 12 above, we do not receive any economic benefit, directly or indirectly, from any third party for advice rendered to our Clients. Client Referrals from Solicitors RFW does not, directly or indirectly, compensate any person who is not advisory personnel for Client referrals. 29 Item 15: Custody RFW does not hold, directly or indirectly, Client funds or securities, or have any authority to obtain possession of them. All Client assets are held at a qualified custodian. If RFW deducts its advisory fee from Client’s account(s), the following safeguards will be applied: i. The Client will provide written authorization to RFW, permitting us to be paid directly from Client’s accounts held by the custodian. ii. The custodian will send at least quarterly statements to the Client showing all disbursements from the accounts, including the amount of the advisory fee. We urge you to carefully review custodial statements and compare them to the account invoices or reports that we may provide to you and notify us of any discrepancies. Clients are responsible for verifying the accuracy of these fees as listed on the custodian’s brokerage statement as the custodian does not assume this responsibility. Our invoices or reports may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities. 30 Item 16: Investment Discretion or those Client accounts where we provide Investment Management Services, RFW has discretionary authority and limited power of attorney to determine the securities and the amount of securities to be bought or sold for a Client’s account without having to obtain prior Client approval for each transaction. Investment discretion is explained to Clients in detail when an advisory relationship has commenced. At the start of the advisory relationship, the Client will execute a Limited Power of Attorney, which will grant our firm discretion over the account(s). Additionally, the discretionary relationship will be outlined in the Advisory Contract and signed by the Client. Clients may limit our discretion by requesting certain restrictions on investments. However, approval of such requests are at the firm’s sole discretion.  If you enter into non-discretionary arrangements with our firm, we will obtain your approval prior to the execution of any transactions for your account(s). You have an unrestricted right to decline to implement any advice provided by our firm on a non-discretionary basis. 31 Item 17: Voting Client Securities We do not vote Client proxies. Therefore, Clients maintain exclusive responsibility for: (1) voting proxies, and (2) acting on corporate actions pertaining to the Client’s investment assets. The Client shall instruct the Client’s qualified custodian to forward to the Client copies of all proxies and shareholder communications relating to the Client’s investment assets. If the Client has any questions on a particular proxy vote, they may contact us at the number listed on the cover of this brochure. In most cases, you will receive proxy materials directly from the account custodian. However, in the event we were to receive any written or electronic proxy materials, we would forward them directly to you by mail, unless you have authorized our firm to contact you by electronic mail, in which case, we would forward you any electronic solicitation to vote proxies. 32 Item 18: Financial Information We have no financial commitment that impairs our ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to our Clients, nor have we been the subject of any bankruptcy proceeding. We do not have custody of Client funds or securities, except as disclosed in Item 15 above, or require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees six months or more in advance. 33
