Item 4: Advisory Business
Firm Information
We are a federally Registered Investment Adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”). We were founded in 2019 and are owned and operated by Ranch Cap
Holdings.
The following paragraphs describe our services and fees. Refer to the description of each
investment advisory service listed below for information on how we tailor our advisory services
to your individual needs. As used in this brochure, the words "we," "our," and "us" refer to
Ranch Capital Advisors Inc. and the words "you," "your," and "client" refer to you as either a
client or prospective client of our firm.
We provide investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts,
estates and small businesses. Our investment advisory services include investment
management, financial planning, and financial coaching.
Types of Advisory Services
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
Ranch Capital Advisors Inc. offers financial planning and consulting services which typically
involve providing a variety of advisory services to clients regarding the management of their
financial resources based upon an analysis of their individual needs on an ongoing or periodic
basis. These services typically involve a variety of advisory services regarding the management
of the client's financial resources based upon an analysis of their individual needs and includes,
but is not limited to financial planning, income/cash flow analysis, budget analysis, investment
analysis, asset allocation, education needs analysis/planning, retirement needs
analysis/planning, 401K plan review, trust and estate planning, and charitable giving.
We meet with the client to review risk tolerance, financial goals and objectives, and time
horizons. Additional meetings may include a review of additional financial information; sources
of income, assets owned, existing insurance, liabilities, wills, trusts, business agreements, tax
returns, investments, and personal and family obligations.
The financial plan may include both long and short-term considerations, depending upon the
individual scenario. Upon completion a plan is presented to the client and the client is provided
with recommendations that are deemed to be compatible with the client’s stated goals and
objectives. An implementation schedule is reviewed with the client to determine which steps
will be pursued, and with whom the steps may be accomplished. The client is under no
obligation to utilize the Firm to implement the advice or plan. Clients may choose all or certain
components of advice and recommendations and can implement the recommendations
through the service providers of their choice.

Portfolio Management Services
We offer discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management services. Our investment
advice is tailored to meet our clients' needs and investment objectives. If you retain our firm for
portfolio management services, we will meet with you to determine your investment
objectives, risk tolerance, and other relevant information at the beginning of our advisory
relationship. We will use the information we gather to develop a strategy that enables our firm
to give you continuous and focused investment advice and/or to make investments on your
behalf. As part of our portfolio management services, we may customize an investment
portfolio for you according to your risk tolerance and investing objectives. Once we construct
an investment portfolio for you, we will monitor your portfolio's performance on an ongoing
basis and will rebalance the portfolio as required by changes in market conditions and in your
financial circumstances.
If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant
our firm discretionary authority to manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow
us to determine the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold
for your account without your approval prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority is
granted in the investment advisory agreement you sign with our firm and the appropriate
trading authorization forms. You may limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the
types of securities that can be purchased or sold for your account) by providing our firm with
your restrictions and guidelines in writing.
We may also offer non-discretionary portfolio management services. If you enter into non-
discretionary arrangements with our firm, we must obtain your approval prior to executing any
transactions on behalf of your account. You have an unrestricted right to decline to implement
any advice provided by our firm on a non-discretionary basis.
As part of our portfolio management services, in addition to other types of investments (see
disclosures below in this section), we may invest your assets according to one or more model
portfolios developed by our firm. These models are designed for investors with varying degrees
of risk tolerance ranging from a more aggressive investment strategy to a more conservative
investment approach. Clients whose assets are invested in model portfolios may not set
restrictions on the specific holdings or allocations within the model, nor the types of securities
that can be purchased in the model. Nonetheless, clients may impose restrictions on investing
in certain securities or types of securities in their account. In such cases, this may prevent a
client from investing in certain models that are managed by our firm.
Clients who have engaged us for portfolio management services may receive complimentary
financial planning at no additional cost.
Financial Coaching Services
We offer financial coaching services on a membership/subscription basis. The goal of a financial
coach is to advise and provide guidance on your day-to-day personal finance decisions. Your
financial coach will help create a "smart spending" plan that aligns with your stated values and
5
goals.
Financial coaching services include but are not limited to:
• Provide a customized plan and clear direction to reach your goals
• Provide monthly budgeting tools and strategies
• Provide personal expense tracking tools
• Budget vs actual expense analysis
• Expense cutting strategies
• Debt payoff strategies and methodology
• Spending plan recommendations
• Cashflow strategies
Your financial coach will meet remotely with you each month and will serve as an accountability
partner throughout the term of your subscription. Our financial coaching services are available
as a flat fee subscription service typically for 3-6 months at a time.
Tailored Relationships
We tailor investment advisory services to the individual needs of the client. Our clients are
allowed to impose restrictions on the investments in their account. All limitations and
restrictions placed on accounts must be presented to us in writing.
Wrap Fee Programs
A “wrap-fee” program is one that provides the client with advisory and brokerage execution
services for an all-inclusive fee. The client is not charged separate fees for the respective
components of the total service. We do not sponsor, manage or participate in a Wrap Fee
Program.
Fiduciary Statement
We are fiduciaries under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and when we provide investment
advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are
also fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act,
(“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code, (“IRC”), as applicable, which are laws governing
retirement accounts.
We have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time,
the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. We must take into
consideration each client’s objectives and act in the best interests of the client. We are
prohibited from engaging in any activity that is in conflict with the interests of the client. We
have the following responsibilities when working with a client:
• To render impartial advice;
• To make appropriate recommendations based on the client’s needs, financial
circumstances, and investment objectives;
6
• To exercise a high degree of care and diligence to ensure that information is presented
in an accurate manner and not in a way to mislead;
• To have a reasonable basis, information, and understanding of the facts in order to
provide appropriate recommendations and representations;
• Disclose any material conflict of interest in writing; and
• Treat clients fairly and equitably.
Regulations prohibit us from:
• Employing any device, scheme, or artifice to defraud a client;
• Making any untrue statement of a material fact to a client or omitting to state a material
fact when communicating with a client;
• Engaging in any act, practice, or course of business which operates or would operate as
fraud or deceit upon a client; or
• Engaging in any manipulative act or practice with a client.
We will act with competence, dignity, integrity, and in an ethical manner, when working with
clients. We will use reasonable care and exercise independent professional judgement when
conducting investment analysis, making investment recommendations, trading, promoting our
services, and engaging in other professional activities.
Assets Under Management
As of February 3, 2025, we managed $338,240,466 in client assets on a discretionary basis.
7
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Compensation – Portfolio Management Services
Our fee for portfolio management services is based on a percentage of the assets in your
account. The annual fee is set forth in the following schedule:
Annual Fee Schedule
Total Assets Under Management
0 - $500,000
$500,001 - $1,000,000
$1,000,001 - $5,000,000
Over $5,000,001
Annual Fee
1.50%
1.00%
0.85%
0.65%
Our annual portfolio management fee is billed and payable, quarterly in advance, based on the
balance at end of the previous billing period. The asset-based fee is billed on a quarterly basis,
in advance, based upon the market value of the Household Assets, including cash, on the last
day of the previous quarter as valued by the custodian.
If the portfolio management agreement is executed at any time other than the first day of a
calendar quarter, our fees will apply on a pro rata basis, which means that the advisory fee is
payable in proportion to the number of days in the quarter for which you are a client. If Assets
are deposited into or withdrawn from an Account after the inception of a quarter, the Fees
payable with respect to the Assets for the following quarter will be prorated based on the
number of days remaining in the quarter the deposit or withdrawal was made. Our advisory fee
is negotiable, depending on individual client circumstances.
At our discretion, we may combine the account values of family members living in the same
household to determine the applicable advisory fee. For example, we may combine account
values for you and your minor children, joint accounts with your spouse, and other types of
related accounts. Combining account values may increase the asset total, which may result in
your paying a reduced advisory fee based on the available breakpoints in our fee schedule
stated above.
We will deduct our fee directly from your account through the qualified custodian holding your
funds and securities. We will deduct our advisory fee only when you have given our firm written
authorization permitting the fees to be paid directly from your account. Further, the qualified
custodian will deliver an account statement to you at least quarterly. These account statements
will show all disbursements from your account.
Compensation - Financial Planning
We offer financial planning and consulting services on both a fixed fee basis and an hourly fee
basis. Our fixed fees are negotiable and range between $1000 and $5,000 annually depending
8
on the scope and complexity of the services rendered. The first half of the estimated fee is due
in advance of services rendered with the remaining balance is payable quarterly in advance.
Our hourly fee for financial planning is $250 - $450 and is payable as invoiced. Our fees are
negotiable depending upon the complexity and scope of the services rendered. We will provide
you with an estimate of the total time/cost at the start of the advisory relationship. In limited
circumstances, the cost/time could potentially exceed the initial estimate. In such cases, we will
notify you and request that you approve the additional fee. All terms of our engagement will be
evidenced in the agreement that you sign with our firm.
Compensation - Financial Coaching Subscription Membership Service
Our financial coaching service is a subscription service model. The subscription term and service
fee are agreed upon in advance and will range from $150-$500 a month depending on the
scope and complexity of the work. Typically, subscription terms are 3-6 months and are
renewable by the client. A 10% discount is offered if you choose to pay up front and in full for
the financial coaching service. Financial coaching fees are collected through a third-party
software whereby a client will create an account, agree to the subscription terms and monthly
fee, and enter payment information. Ranch Capital Advisors will not have the capability to view
or store personal banking or credit card data and therefore, we do not have custody of client
funds.
Compensation - Insurance
Gregory T. Pacitti, CFP®, Abigail U. Skipper, and Bradley S. Tremitiere provide investment advice
on behalf of our firm and are licensed as independent insurance agents. They will earn
commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance products
they sell to you. Insurance commissions earned by them are separate and in addition to our
advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment
advice on behalf of our firm who are insurance agents have an incentive to recommend
insurance products to you for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based
on your needs. You are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase insurance
products through any person affiliated with our firm.
Cash Balances
Some of your assets may be held as cash and remain uninvested. Holding a portion of your
assets in cash and cash alternatives, i.e., money market fund shares, may be based on your
desire to have an allocation to cash as an asset class, to support a phased market entrance
strategy, to facilitate transaction execution, to have available funds for withdrawal needs or to
pay fees or to provide for asset protection during periods of volatile market conditions. Your
cash and cash equivalents will be subject to our investment advisory fees unless otherwise
agreed upon. You may experience negative performance on the cash portion of your portfolio if
the investment advisory fees charged are higher than the returns you receive from your cash.
Retirement Plan Rollover Recommendations
As part of our investment advisory services to our clients, we may recommend that clients roll
assets from their employer’s retirement plan, such as a 401(k), 457, or ERISA 403(b) account
9
(collectively, a “Plan Account”), to an individual retirement account, such as a SIMPLE IRA, SEP
IRA, Traditional IRA, or Roth IRA (collectively, an “IRA Account”) that we will advise on the
client’s behalf. We may also recommend rollovers from IRA Accounts to Plan Accounts, from
Plan Accounts to Plan Accounts, and from IRA Accounts to IRA Accounts.
If the client elects to roll the assets to an IRA that is subject to our advisement, we will charge
the client an asset-based fee as set forth in the advisory agreement the client executed with our
firm. This creates a conflict of interest because it creates a financial incentive for our firm to
recommend the rollover to the client (i.e., receipt of additional fee-based compensation).
Clients are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to complete the rollover. Moreover,
if clients do complete the rollover, clients are under no obligation to have the assets in an IRA
advised on by our firm. Due to the foregoing conflict of interest, when we make rollover
recommendations, we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in our clients’ best
interests and not put our interests ahead of our clients’.
Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
prudent advice);
• never put our financial interests ahead of our clients’ when making recommendations
(give loyal advice);
• avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
•
follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in our
clients’ best interests;
• charge no more than a reasonable fee for our services; and
• give clients basic information about conflicts of interest.
Many employers permit former employees to keep their retirement assets in their company
plan. Also, current employees can sometimes move assets out of their company plan before
they retire or change jobs. In determining whether to complete the rollover to an IRA, and to
the extent the following options are available, clients should consider the costs and benefits of
a rollover. Note that an employee will typically have four options in this situation:
1. leaving the funds in the employer’s (former employer’s) plan;
2. moving the funds to a new employer’s retirement plan;
3. cashing out and taking a taxable distribution from the plan; or
4. rolling the funds into an IRA rollover account.
General Information on Compensation and Other Fees
In certain circumstances, fees, account minimums and payment terms are negotiable
depending on client’s unique situation – such as the size of the aggregate related party
portfolio size, family holdings, low-cost basis securities, or certain passively advised investments
and pre-existing relationships with clients. Certain clients may pay more or less than others
10
depending on the amount of assets, type of portfolio, or the time involved, the degree of
responsibility assumed, complexity of the engagement, special skills needed to solve problems,
the application of experience and knowledge of the client’s situation.
All fees paid to us for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and
expenses charged by mutual funds to their shareholders. These fees and expenses are
described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee, other
expenses, and a possible distribution fee. If the fund also imposes sales charges, a client may
pay an initial or deferred sales charge. A client could invest in a mutual fund directly, without
our services. In that case, the client would not receive our services, which are designed, among
other things, to assist the client in determining which mutual funds are most appropriate to
each client’s financial condition and objectives. Accordingly, the client should review both the
fees charged by the funds and the fees charged by us to fully understand the total amount of
fees to be paid by the client and to thereby evaluate the advisory services being provided.
11
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
“Performance-based fees” are fees based on the capital gains or capital appreciation in an
account. We do not charge performance-based fees. “Side-by-side management” refers to the
practice of managing both accounts that are charged a performance-based fee and accounts
that are charged other types of fees, such as asset-based fees and hourly fees. Because we do
not charge performance-based fees, we do not engage in side-by-side management.
12
Item 7: Types of Clients
Types of Clients
We offer investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates
and small businesses.
Account Minimums
In general, we require a minimum of $1,000,000 to open and maintain an advisory account. At
our discretion, we may waive this minimum account size. We may also combine account values
for you and your minor children, joint accounts with your spouse, and other types of related
accounts to meet the stated minimum.
13
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
We may employ the following security analysis methods: Charting; fundamental analysis;
technical analysis; and cyclical analysis.
Types of Investments
We offer advice on equity securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, mutual funds,
exchange traded funds ("ETFs"), United States government securities, municipal securities,
options contracts on securities, money market funds, real estate, real estate investment trusts
("REITs"), and structured notes.
Investment Strategies
We use long-term trading, short-term trading, short sales, margin transactions, and options
writing (including covered options, uncovered options, or spreading strategies).
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
All investments involve the risk of loss, including (among other things) loss of principal, a
reduction in earnings (including interest, dividends and other distributions), and the loss of
future earnings. Although we manage assets in a manner consistent with your investment
objectives and risk tolerance, there can be no guarantee that our efforts will be successful.
You should be prepared to bear the following risks of loss:
•
Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to
fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less
attractive, causing their market values to decline.
• Market Risk: The price of a security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in reaction to
•
tangible and intangible events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by external
factors independent of a security’s particular underlying circumstances. For example,
political, economic and social conditions may trigger market events.
Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar next year will not buy as
much as a dollar today, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
• Currency Risk: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the
dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also referred
to as exchange rate risk.
• Reinvestment Risk: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have to
be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e., interest rate). This primarily
relates to fixed income securities.
• Business Risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a particular
company within an industry. For example, oil-drilling companies depend on finding oil
and then refining it, a lengthy process, before they can generate a profit. They carry a
14
higher risk of profitability than an electric company, which generates its income from a
steady stream of customers who buy electricity no matter what the economic
environment is like.
• Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash.
Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized
product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties (i.e.,
Non-traded REITs and other alternative investments) are not.
• Financial Risk: Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations increases the risk
of profitability, because the company must meet the terms of its obligations in good
times and bad. During periods of financial stress, the inability to meet loan obligations
may result in bankruptcy and/or a declining market value.
• Cybersecurity Risk: A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and
unintentional events that may cause an account to lose proprietary information, suffer
data corruption, or lose operational capacity. This in turn could cause an account to
incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and additional compliance costs
associated with corrective measures, and/or financial loss.
• Pandemic Risk: Large-scale outbreaks of infectious disease can greatly increase
morbidity and mortality over a wide geographic area, crossing international boundaries,
and causing significant economic, social, and political disruption.
• Custodial Risk: This risk is the probability that a party to a transaction will be unable or
unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligations either due to technological errors, control
failures, malfeasance, or potential regulatory liabilities.
15
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
We are required to disclose all pertinent facts regarding any legal, regulatory or disciplinary
events that would be material to your evaluation of the Firm or the integrity of our
management.
There have never been any legal, regulatory or disciplinary actions against the Firm or our
management persons.
16
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
We are required to disclose to our clients any relationship or arrangement with certain related
persons that is material to our advisory business.
Financial Industry Activities
We are not registered as a broker-dealer, and none of our management persons are registered
representatives of a broker-dealer.
Neither we, nor any of our management persons, is registered as (or associated with) a futures
commissions merchant, commodity pool operator, or a commodity trading advisor.
Neither we, nor any of our management persons, have a material relationship or arrangement
with any related person or financial industry entities.
Insurance Company or Agency
Some of our Investment Adviser Representatives may be licensed insurance agents or brokers
and may be appointed with several insurance companies. They may earn separate
compensation for transactions implemented through various insurance companies. Clients are
not obligated to use any company for insurance product purchases and may work with any
insurance agent they choose. Insurance compensation will be separate and distinct from our
investment advisory fees.
Arrangements with Affiliated Entities
Kapcitti Holdings LLC is a holding company owned by Gregory T. Pacitti, CFP®, Todd Kaplan, and
Elizabeth Chulock. This is a holding company for passive investments. A conflict of interest
exists because clients and owners of the Ranch Capital Advisors Inc. are also passive investors in
private equity investments. Ranch Capital Advisors Inc.'s advisory services are separate and
distinct from Kapcitti Holdings LLC. Gregory T. Pacitti, CFP® does not market, recommend, or
refer this entity to clients or prospective clients.
Other Investment Advisors
We do not recommend or select other investment advisors for our clients.
17
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics
Our employees must comply with a Code of Ethics and Statement for Insider Trading (the
“Code”). The Code describes our high standard of business conduct, and fiduciary duty to our
clients. The Code’s key provisions include:
• Statement of General Principles
• Policy on and reporting of Personal Securities Transactions
• A prohibition on Insider Trading
• Restrictions on the acceptance of significant gifts
• Procedures to detect and deter misconduct and violations
• Requirement to maintain confidentiality of client information
Our employees must acknowledge the terms of the Code at least annually, and any employee
not in compliance with the Code may be subject to termination. We will provide a copy of our
Code upon request.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions – Personal Securities Transactions
Both the Firm and our employees may buy or sell securities identical to those recommended to
clients for their personal accounts. The Code, described above, is designed to assure that the
personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees of the Firm will not
interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of clients and (ii) implementing such
decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. Under
the Code certain classes of securities, primarily mutual funds, have been designated as exempt
transactions, based upon a determination that these would materially not interfere with the
best interest of our clients. In addition, the Code requires pre-clearance of many transactions.
Nonetheless, because the Code in some circumstances would permit employees to invest in the
same securities as clients, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from market
activity by a client in a security held by an employee. The Firm may maintain a list of restricted
securities that employees may not purchase or sell based upon having (or possibly having)
access to inside information. Employee trading is continually monitored under the Code and
designed to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between the Firm and our clients.
Neither our firm nor any persons associated with our firm has any material financial interest in
client transactions beyond the provision of investment advisory services as disclosed in this
brochure.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Principal/Agency Cross Trades
We do not recommend any securities to our clients in which we have a material financial
interest. We do not affect any principal or agency cross securities transactions for client
18
accounts. We also do not cross trades between client accounts.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions – Aggregation
We and our employees may trade in the same securities with client accounts on an aggregated
basis when consistent with our obligation of best execution. In such circumstances, the
affiliated and client accounts will share commission costs equally and receive securities at a
total average price. We will retain records of the trade order (specifying each participating
account) and its allocation, which will be completed prior to the entry of the aggregated order.
Completed orders will be allocated as specified in the initial trade order. Partially filled orders
will be allocated on a pro rata basis. Any exceptions will be explained on the order.
A conflict of interest exists in such cases because we have the ability to trade ahead of you and
potentially receive more favorable prices than you will receive. To eliminate this conflict of
interest, it is our policy that neither our firm nor persons associated with our firm shall have
priority over your account in the purchase or sale of securities.
19
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
We do not receive formal soft dollar benefits other than execution from broker/dealers in
connection with client securities transactions. See disclosure below in “Brokerage – Other
Economic Benefits”.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
We do not receive client referrals from broker-dealers in exchange for cash or other
compensation, such as brokerage services or research.
Brokerage – Other Economic Benefits
As a registered investment adviser, we have access to the institutional platform of your account
custodian. As such, we will also have access to research products and services from your
account custodian and/or other brokerage firms. These products may include financial
publications, information about particular companies and industries, research software, and
other products or services that provide lawful and appropriate assistance to our firm in the
performance of our investment decision-making responsibilities. Such research products and
services are provided to all investment advisers that utilize the institutional services platforms
of these firms and are not considered to be paid for with soft dollars. However, you should be
aware that the commissions charged by a particular broker for a particular transaction or set of
transactions may be greater than the amounts another broker who did not provide research
services or products might charge.
Trade Aggregation
While not typical, we may aggregate trades for multiple accounts. Trade aggregation is the act
of trading a large block of a security in a single order. Shares of a purchased security are then
allocated to the appropriate accounts in the appropriate proportion. The main purposes of
order aggregation are (i) for ease of trading and (ii) to obtain a lower transaction cost
associated with trading a larger quantity.
Orders for the same security entered on behalf of more than one client may be aggregated (i.e.,
blocked or bunched) subject to the aggregation being in the best interests of all participating
clients. If the order is filled at different prices during the day, the prices are averaged for the
day so that all participating accounts receive the same price. If an order has not been filled
completely so that there are not enough shares to allocate among all the clients equally, shares
will be allocated in good faith, based on the following considerations: amount of cash in the
account, existing asset allocation and industry exposure, risk profile, and type of security. If a
partial execution is attained at the end of the trading day, we will generally allocate shares on a
pro rata basis but may fill small orders entirely before applying the pro rata allocation. All
clients participating in each aggregated order shall receive the average price and subject to
minimum ticket charges, pay a pro-rata portion of commissions.
20
Our allocation procedure seeks to be fair and equitable to all clients with no particular group or
client(s) being favored or disfavored over any other clients.
Accounts for us or our employees will be included in a block trade with client accounts.
21
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Portfolio Management Reviews
We monitor client portfolios as part of an ongoing process, and regular account reviews are
generally conducted on a quarterly basis. Reviews could also occur at the time of new deposits,
material changes in the client’s financial information, changes in economic cycles, at our
discretion or as often as the client directs. Reviews entail analyzing securities, sensitivity to
overall markets, economic changes, investment results, asset allocation, etc., to ensure the
investment strategy and expectations are structured to continue to meet the client’s objectives.
These reviews are conducted by one of our Investment Advisor Representatives.
Clients are encouraged to discuss their needs, goals, and objectives with us and to inform us of
any changes.
Reporting
Each quarter, the custodian provides clients with an account statement for each client account,
which may include individual holdings, cost basis information, deposits and withdrawals,
accrued income, dividends, and performance. We may also provide clients with periodic reports
regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
22
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Other Compensation – Brokerage Arrangements
See disclosure in Item 12 regarding compensation, including economic benefits received in
connection with giving advice to clients.
Compensation – Client Referrals
We have been fortunate to receive many client referrals over the years. The referrals came
from current clients, estate planning attorneys, accountants, employees, personal friends of
employees and other similar sources. We do not compensate referring parties for these
referrals.
23
Item 15: Custody
Custody – Fee Debiting
Clients may authorize us (in the client agreement) to debit fees directly from their account at
the broker dealer, bank or other qualified custodian (“custodian”). The custodian is advised in
writing of the limitation of our access to the account. The custodian sends a statement to the
client, at least quarterly, indicating all amounts disbursed from the account including the
amount of advisory fees paid directly to the Firm.
Custody – Account Statements
Clients receive at least quarterly statements from the custodian that holds and maintains
client’s investment assets. Clients are urged to carefully review such statements and compare
such official custodial records to the reports that we provide. Our reports may vary from
custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation
methodologies of certain securities.
24
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Before we can buy or sell securities on your behalf, you must first sign our discretionary
management agreement and the appropriate trading authorization forms.
You may grant our firm discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be purchased
or sold for your account(s) without obtaining your consent or approval prior to each
transaction. You may specify investment objectives, guidelines, and/or impose certain
conditions or investment parameters for your account(s). For example, you may specify that
the investment in any particular stock or industry should not exceed specified percentages of
the value of the portfolio and/or restrictions or prohibitions of transactions in the securities of a
specific industry or security.
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.
25
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Proxy Voting
We do not have any authority to and do not vote proxies on behalf of clients, nor do we make
any express or implied recommendation with respect to voting proxies. Clients retain the sole
responsibility for receiving and voting proxies that they receive directly from either their
custodian or transfer agents. Clients may contact us for information about proxy voting.
26
Item 18: Financial Information
Our firm does not have any financial condition or impairment that would prevent us from
meeting our contractual commitments to you. We do not take physical custody of client funds
or securities, or serve as trustee or signatory for client accounts, and we do not require the
prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees six or more months in advance. Therefore, we are not
required to include a financial statement with this brochure.
We have not ever filed a bankruptcy petition.
